early 70 people were
arrested when a special
police squad deployed to
restore security in Lamu and Tana
River counties mounted a crack-
down in the two regions between
Tuesday night and yesterday.
And in Mombasa, a Lamu
landowner arrested earlier in
the week was charged with 60
counts of murder. Mr Mahadi
Swaleh was charged jointly with
a matatu driver, Mr Dyana Salim
Suleiman, in connection with the
Mpeketoni killings last month.
Mr Suleiman had been charged
with the murder of 12 people last
week but yesterday the pros-
ecution substituted the earlier
charges and jointly charged him
with Mr Mahadi. Both denied
the charges when they appeared
before Mr Justice Martin Muya.
According to the prosecution, the
oences were committed during
the period between June 15 and
17 at Kaisari village and Mpeke-
toni Township in Lamu County.
The judge directed that the two
be remanded and the case be
mentioned today before Justice
Edward Muriithi.
In Lamu, the Deputy Inspec-
tor-General of Police, Mr Samuel
Arachi, yesterday said 69 people
were arrested in the night-long
operation during which the of-
ficers combed two forests in
Lamu and in the Kipini area of
Tana River. Seven were arrested
at around 4.30am yesterday in
Mokowe forest while 17 others
were seized at Kipini. Even hotels
and private villas were not spared
as security ocers searched them
for potential suspects.
We will not leave here until we
arrest all the criminals who have
been killing and causing mayhem
here. We are determined not to
allow this nonsense to continue,
said Mr Arachi who was leading
the operation.
He dismissed speculation that
the team could have arrested in-
nocent people in an attempt to
beat a 48-hour deadline given by
Deputy President William Ruto
for security chiefs in the two
counties to arrest the killers or
quit their jobs.
We are not just arresting any-
body. What would somebody be
doing in a forest at a night with
all sorts of things, he asked but
refused to give details.
Police have also been investi-
gating intelligence reports that a
hotel has been purchasing huge
amounts of food although it only
had few registered guests.
Police sources indicated that
workers of the hotel under in-
vestigation have been making
frequent visits to Lamu market
to buy fruits, vegetable and other
foodstus although most hotels
in the area have recorded a low
number of visitors.
The matter has been brought
to us by traders who were dis-
turbed by the frequent purchases
being made by workers from that
hotel, said a security ocial on
condition of anonymity.
Meanwhile, an NGO has criti-
cised the ongoing police operation
in Lamu and Tana River. Haki Af-
rica Executive Director Hussein
Khalid claimed that the police
were engaging in arbitrary arrests.
Reports from the ground indicate
that certain communities are now
being proled and targeted by the
police who are now desperate to
just arrest in order to save their
jobs, he said.
While we support security op-
erations to weed out criminals,
particularly the attackers who
are responsible for the deaths of
over 80 Kenyans in that region,
we must ensure that these op-
erations are done fairly without
proling certain communities and
further violating constitutional
rights, he said.

G
ermanys 7-1 mauling of
Brazil during Tuesday
evenings World Cup
semi-nal smashed records both
on and o the pitch.
On the pitch, this result
instigated by an ecient coun-
ter-attacking style of play not
only handed the worst defeat
to the worlds most successful
football nation, but the most
embarrassing result registered
by a losing team at this stage of
the tournament in the history of
this competition as well.
O the pitch, the humiliating
90-plus minute period in which
the host team suered both an-
guish, embarrassment, heartache
and disappointment at the hands
of the German machine set a
record as the most discussed
sporting event on social media.
According to a report on AFP
that cited an interview with
social media administrators, a
staggering 35.6 million tweets
were sent during this match that
was staged in the Brazilian city
of Horizonte.
This gure surpassed by almost
nine million the previous record
of tweets by sports fans during
the Super Bowl tournament in
the USA earlier this year.
The report also indicates that
the tweets were posted onto the
increasingly popular platform
from all corners of the world,
and across the divide of human-
ity, while slicing through the
normally rigid gender, age, pro-
fession, ethnicity and nationality
parameters.
Down south, Zambia FA Presi-
dent Kalusha Bwalya, a respected
former International and Africa
Player of the Year, explained that
this is the worst I have seen Bra-
zil. Football can be cruel.
Popular Cable News Network
(CNN) anchor Piers Morgan
an Englishman was not to
be left behind in the tweet count,
explaining: As awful as Brazil
have been, Germany have been
absolutely sensational.
Former Manchester United
defender Rio Ferdinand opted
for the diplomatic route by cry-
ing out: No more please... I cant
take this (result) no more... Its
hurting...Feel for the Brazilian
fans here... Wow. Will these play-
ers recover from this?
I always said that football is
a box of surprises. Nobody in
this world expected this result,
said Pele: Well get the sixth
title in Russia. Congratulations
to Germany.
It will be dicult to recover.
Some players I dont think will be
back to wear the Brazilian shirt.
On the eld, Germany taught us
how to play football, we have to
learn from that, said Juninho,
former Brazil mid-elder.
What was that? Hard to
believe, former West Germany
World Cup winning captain and
coach Franz Beckenbauer said
on Twitter.
Seven-one is not a normal re-
sult between two world footballing
powers. But football can be like
that. Sometimes things happen
that you dont expect, and that is
why it is beautiful, said Argentina
coach Alejandro Sabella.
I dont know what the lads
from Brazil were carrying on their
shoulders. In these pictures you
keep seeing them crying, before
the match or after the match. This
team didnt have enough experi-
ence to come to terms with the
pressure of a big tournament like
this in their own country. They
fell apart emotionally completely,
wrote Oliver Kahn, former Ger-
many goalkeeper.
You could see Brazil didnt
have a plan to play against
Germany, said Thomas Strunz,
former Germany player.
Facebook was not to be out-
done, with more than 200 million
posts, shares, comments and
likes involving 66 million users
registered.
Creative fans opted to upload
photoshopped images ridiculing
the host nation following the loss
and highlighting the supremacy
of the German side.
The images included that of
Brazil coach Luis Felipe Sco-
lari shown as a mask whilst the
real face underneath was that
of former Manchester United
manager David Moyes (who was
sacked at the end of last season
following a string of disappoint-
ing results).
Other images showed the
famous Christ the Redeemer
monument in Rio covering its
face or replaced by a cheering
Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Other humorous photo posts
were of Colombian striker Rad-
amel Falcao and his Monaco
team-mates who posted a sele
in utter shock and another post
showing Brazilian legend Pele
renouncing his Brazilian
nationality and claiming he is
Ghanaian.
The longevity of these tweeting
records remain in doubt however,
with the World Cup nal trophy
presentation and closing cer-
emony tweets yet to come.

SABA SABA
POLITICS | Cord leader says only a few of the issues raised on Saba Saba day ought to be put to a referendum
Raila reveals Cords next agenda
BY MACHARIA GAITHO
@machariagaitho
mgaitho@ke.nationmedia.com
C
ord leader Raila Odinga
yesterday promised a
return to the trenches
if the issues being raised under
the Okoa Kenya campaign
launched on Saba Saba day are
not resolved.
In a wide-ranging interview
with the Daily Nation, Mr Odinga
responded to many of the queries
arising from Mondays rally.
He dismissed accusations by
the Jubilee leaders that the Saba
Saba campaign was aimed at
ousting the government through
mass action, but defended the
right to peaceful demonstrations,
assembly and picketing.
He agreed that the new ini-
tiative sought to replicate the
campaign of 1990 against the
one-party Kanu administration,
but denied any intentions of
seeking regime-change through
violent demonstrations.
On why the grievances Cord
had outlined cannot be addressed
through existing institutions, Mr
Odinga said that Parliament was
one of the problems. He accused
it of being used as a tool of the
Executive to pass laws intended
to take away the gains of the new
Constitution.
He also claried that only a
few of the issues listed in Cords
13-point agenda were intended
for a referendum, listing a pro-
posal to disband the Electoral
Commission, securing devolved
governments and the role of the
Legislature versus the Executive
as some of the key issues that
the Opposition wants to be de-
termined by the people.
Other issues on the agenda
that included demands for reduc-
ing the cost of living and threats
to boycott over-priced goods and
services; action on insecurity; an
end to corruption and wasteful
government spending; cancella-
tion of the Safaricom security
contract; and withdrawal of the
Kenya Defence Forces from
Somalia, were being oated for
public discussion and search for
solutions rather than resolution
through a public vote.
Responding to questions aris-
ing out of the Saba Saba rally
that was billed as the launch of
movement that would shake the
Jubilee government, Mr Odinga
denied accusation that he was
out on a campaign to oust the
government through mass ac-
tion or to force through another
power-sharing accord.
He recognised the legitimacy
of the Jubilee Coalition headed
by President Kenyatta and
Deputy President William Ruto,
he said, and noted that after los-
ing the presidential election and
the Supreme Court petition, he
disagreed with the outcome but
publicly accepted and moved
on, even congratulating the
President.
He also addressed the issue
of how Cord intends to force
through a public referendum
when the proposal must still be
approved by the same Parlia-
ment in which Jubilee enjoys a
tyranny of numbers and which
must also be approved by half of
the counties before the question
can be put to the vote.
He insisted that the Jubilee
majority cannot override a
citizens petition backed by one
million signatures, saying, the
role of MPs in such a scenario
was limited to considering the
way in which the question set
for a public poll was framed and
editing work.
On the anxiety that talk of
mass action had caused, Mr
Odinga said Kenyans must
change their attitude and ac-
cept the principle of public
participation and campaigns as
a democratic right secured by
the Constitution.
Violent demonstrations and
attacks and killing each other is
not mass action; that is criminal
activity, he said. Democratic
mass action is about picketing
and demonstrations, which
happen everywhere... We must
change our thinking that mass
action is something that must
be wild and destructive.
He gave the example of
Mass action does not mean death and chaos,
the people have a right to demonstrate
peacefully and picket, says former PM
Cord leader Raila
Odinga during
yesterdays
interview with
the Daily Nation
at his Nairobi
oce.
BILLY MUTAI | NATION
countries where people picket and
demonstrate right up to the steps
of Parliament on issues such as
animal rights. In such countries,
he said, police escort the protest-
ers rather than try to block them,
as he claims happened during Saba
Saba when he alleged that the police
intimidated the people making their
way to Uhuru Park.
Mr Odinga denied accusations by
Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole
Lenku and Jubilee leaders that Cord
was enlisting Mungiki, the Mombasa
Republic Council and other criminal
outts to cause chaos in the country,
including the Mpeketoni attacks in
which over 60 people were killed last
month. He dismissed the accusations
as preposterous, saying that anyone,
including himself, engaged in such
activities should be arrested and
charged with for treason.
Train and organise
He recalled that the rst Mpeke-
toni attack came soon after Cord held
its rally in Mombasa, and wondered
when the raiders would have had the
time to arm themselves, train and
organise if the rally was what incited
the murderous rampage.
Mr Odinga accused the Jubilee gov-
ernment of panicking for no good
reason, saying, it has always accused
the Opposition of being asleep, but
was now running around in fright and
concocting wild accusations when
confronted with serious issues.
The Okoa Kenya campaign
resolved to form an all-inclusive
National Referendum Committee to
pave the way for a national vote on
critical challenges the country faces.
It will be tasked with formulating the
referendum questions and collecting
a million signatures to initiate the
referendum.
The committee is not yet in place,
but Mr Odinga revealed that consul-
tations were going on to name an
all-inclusive team comprising civil
society representatives and religious
groups among others.

Would you consider your coalitions rally
on Monday a success?
It was not a rally. It was a meeting of
the people and was a success. I can back
that with four reasons.
First, we as Cord went round the country
consulting people on what views they had
about our quest for a national dialogue.
There was resounding support. The ulti-
mate meeting was Monday and Kenyans
turned up in big numbers despite impedi-
ments placed against us by the Jubilee
administration.
Second, doomsayers had predicted chaos
in town. During the meeting, people came
and spoke freely. It was a good conversa-
tion with the nation. There was no violence
and we made resolutions. Citizens proved
the doomsayers wrong. We have obviously
matured as a democracy.
The third issue is that Kenyans showed
that there was a way out of our problems.
We created a precedent on how wananchi
could exercise their sovereignty.
Kenyans now know they have a right
to public protest. They can demonstrate
peaceably, march in the streets and give
their views. If we have rogue leaders in
future, we know what to do. Kenyans now
have the courage to make their leaders ac-
count for their actions.
Lastly, we came out with reasonable and
sensitive resolutions. They are also realistic
as they revolve around what goes on in the
life of an ordinary person on the street.
What is the referendum all about?
The referendum is not about changing
the Constitution or the 20 per cent weve
been talking about. I imagine a question
will be put to the people. The Jubilee gov-
ernment has been in place for two years
and this is their scorecard on security, the
economy and other issues. Should we wait
for ve years or should we determine a new
leadership sooner?
As the Constitution stipulates, Jubilee
should be in oce for ve years but we can
hold a referendum if Kenyans feel things
are not working the way they should be.
Kenyans could say, Yes, we gave them
that term but based on this scorecard, we
need to go to the polls before it ends. By a
simple majority, Kenyans can decide we go
to the polls before the end of ve years.
Is there a timeframe for all this?
We didnt put a timeframe and there is
a good reason for that. We consulted and
agreed that it was an issue that can be best
tackled by a committee.
We moved away from the policy of giv-
ing ultimatums. When you have deadlines,
then you unnecessarily heighten peoples
expectations and trivialise debate. The
debate stops being about substance and
focuses on non-issues.
Let that committee come up with time-
lines. Some things are dicult. You cannot
put a timeframe on them.
Take a situation of returning the Kenya
Defence Forces (KDF) from Somalia. We
cannot say they need to be home by such
and such a date. But if they have success-
fully completed their assignment there,
why shouldnt they return?
We are probably wrong although experts
in security may know better. What we are
saying is that Kenyans need to be told
something. There should be a time in the
minds of many on when the soldiers are
coming back.
The other issue is the disbandment of
the Independent Electoral and Bounda-
ries Commission (IEBC). We are talking
about sending the whole agency packing,
not reform. We are not concerned about
the personnel, but there is a problem with
the IEBC, and the systems they have put
in place.
We need political change. We must
change the system to free the minds of
Kenyans.
How we conduct elections, particularly
presidential ones, must also change. It
is a kind of system which polarises the
country.
What next for you now?
We are going to criss-cross the country
again, explain ourselves to the people and
explain the need for a referendum. After
that, we need to form the referendum
committee. We want to get seven million
signatures to make the country hold the
referendum.
All Kenyans should take this initiative
seriously. They should also take it in good
faith.
It has nothing to do with chaos. Cord is
mindful of the welfare of Kenyans and this
is one initiative that can bring solutions
to our many problems. Why live under the
Jubilee yoke for ve years?

Cord supporters who attended the Saba Saba rally at Uhuru Park on Monday listen to their
leaders. There are dierent views from both sides of the political divide.
SABA SABA
Do you think Cord delivered on
the hype that had been created?
No. It was a op. In fact, it
was an anti-climax. People who
thought the coalitions leaders
had cogent and helpful ideas
for this country expected a way
forward. They looked forward
to realistic action and speeches
that were geared towards na-
tional unity and progress.
What we saw was spewing of
threats and sowing of seeds of
division.
What do you think about the
13-point agenda?
Some of them are well-
framed and if they agree to
use the institutions already in
place, those are matters that
can be addressed by both sides
of the divide. Unfortunately for
them, they are bringing them
sectionally. They are refusing
to use the institutions.
It is sad to hear eminent
lawyers talking about referen-
dums and in the same breath
call for the disbandment of the
IEBC (Independent Electoral
and Boundaries Commis-
sion). At the same time, they
say they dont have faith in
Parliament.
The public decided to vote
in their representatives, and
Jubilee got the numbers.
You cant call that a rogue
Parliament simply because
it has more numbers than the
other coalition. The ideals
they seem to be pushing for
are fairly reasonable. We part
ways when they refuse to use
the constitutional institutions
and commissions to propagate
their grievances.
As lawyers, we know that
the way to remove the IEBC
is through a constitutional
process. This can be achieved
through Parliament. Parlia-
ment should ask the President
to form a tribunal.
The realistic thing is that
what Cord is seeking must be
done through constitutional
means.
The dialogue they were push-
ing for is on. We are examining
the IEBC issue as the Justice
and Legal Affairs Commit-
tee and we are going to take
a decision. This matter will
eventually come to the oor
of the House and a decision
will be made whether to ask the
President to set up the tribunal
to investigate the commission-
ers or not.
Do you think the process is
going anywhere?
Until and unless Cord lead-
ers agree to use the institutions
that have been set up to resolve
such issues, this is not going
anywhere. It will only go to give
visibility to the former Prime
Minister in his preparation for
his 2017 presidential bid. Some
of the issues they have raised
in the 13-point agenda are ne
and they do not need a legal
framework to deal with them.
What are some of the reason-
able issues you saw?
When you talk about in-
security, I am worried about
our side trying to politicise
the matter. Insecurity issues
should be looked at in total-
ity. They should not be heaped
on any one side.
Whether or not the Jubilee
side might say that the inse-
curity is propagated by the
Opposition, the fact remains
that the principal actors in the
commission of crime should be
hunted and prosecuted. Insecu-
rity is a pertinent issue.
On the other issues, they are
rebels without a cause.

Public schools have
raised the alarm over de-
lays in releasing the second
instalment of free schooling
cash.
The government yester-
day admitted that there was
a crisis due to the delay in
releasing the funds.
Education Principal
Secretary Bellio Kipsang
assured schools that his
oce was working hard to
resolve the problem.
We are talking to the
Treasury so that the money
is released quickly, said Dr
Kipsang (below).
During this financial
year, Sh28.2 billion was
set aside for free second-
ary education.
Heads have warned they
could close schools due to
the delay.
They called for the re-
lease of the funds, saying
it was not possible to feed
students or pay workers.
Kenya Union of Post-Pri-
mary Education Teachers
chairman Omboko Milemba
also raised concern over the
delay.
Mr Milemba said heads
had exhausted funds and it
was dicult for them to
continue keeping students
in school.
Principals should
have got 30 per cent
for the second term. Only
15 per cent was wired into
school accounts yet it is
a month to closing day,
he said.
Mr Milemba added that
schools should be given
money to prepare for end
of term tests.
Students are being
sent home on the pretext
of half-term break as there
is no money to keep them
in school, he said.
This money was budg-
eted for and should have
been sent to schools by
now, he said.
Mr Milemba asked the
government to ensure that
the funds will be available
in schools by Friday.

is released in rst term, 30
per cent in second term and

schools, which have not been charg-

primary education programme was
introduced.
Currently, the country spends Sh28
billion each year on subsidised sec-
ondary education where the State
provides a grant of Sh10,265 per
student. Analysts expect the budget
for free-post primary schooling to be
close to Sh100 billion.
The taskforce headed by former
assistant minister Kilemi Mwiria
has proposed a school levy on high
revenue generating businesses like
telecoms and oil dealership.
We recommend that levies on
airtime, fares and fuel be introduced
as part of raising funds for free sec-
ondary school education, reads the
report. It also recommends that the
State consider education bonds and
access to unclaimed assets as alterna-
tive sources of funding.
The oil business generates revenues
in excess of Sh400 billion while that
of mobile phone operators is nearly
Sh200 billion.
Kenya is already charging a railway
levy of 1.5 per cent of the value of all
imported commodities to fund the
proposed standard gauge railway line
from Mombasa to Nairobi. The levy is
expected to raise nearly Sh25 billion
in the current nancial year.
The road levy charged on fuels
has also been used for infrastructure
projects since 1993.

seen the number of students enroll-
ing in secondary schools rise from
1.3 million in 2009 to 2.1 million this
year, raising the transition rate from
64 per cent to 77 per cent over the
period. The government intends to
use the free secondary education to
raise the transition rate and increase
equity because rising post-primary
fees deny the poor access to quality
education.
A number of bright students who
secured Form One admission in na-
tional schools early this year opted to
join low-ranked county and district
schools because their parents could
not raise the annual fees running to
as much as Sh130,000.
The Kenya National Association of
Parents said national schools had dou-
bled fees in the recent past in breach
of guidelines issued by the Ministry of
Education. This complaint prompted
the formation of the taskforce led by
Dr Mwiria.
Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob
Kaimenyi appointed the taskforce
to review the fees levied in public
secondary schools to ensure they
are aordable. The recommended
huge cuts in schools fees for public
secondary schools, if adopted and im-
plemented, would come as a reprieve
to parents.
If adopted, national schools
will now charge parents Sh41,574
after the government capitation of
Sh10,265 per student. Under the
existing fees structure, some national
schools charge as high as Sh120,00
per student.
The proposed fees structure further
recommends that students attending
day schools should pay Sh13,265
after the government capitation of
Sh10,265.

Report: Tax airtime to pay for free schooling
EDUCATION | Task force recommends that mass market goods like fuel be slapped with levy to fund secondary programme
The Kenya Union of Post Pri-
mary Teachers Union said the
levy would amount to double
taxation as the same parents
buying these goods would be
the same paying school fees.
Union equates move to rob-
bing Peter to pay Paul; says
it serves no purpose to charge
parents higher taxes to cater for
their childrens school fees.
The taskforce proposed
that national schools charge
Sh62,544 which comes down
to Sh52,279 after a government
capitation of Sh10,265. Newly-
created national schools will
charge Sh41,574.

Universities should start
projects that not only advance
their academic mandate, but
also benefit communities,
President Kenyatta said
yesterday.
Mr Kenyatta said if univer-
sities used their resources
prudently, they would impact
lives, both within and outside
their campuses.
This, he said, would be
achieved with strong public-
private partnerships.
We shall readily support
projects owned by universi-
ties but whose benets trickle
down to communities around
the institutions. We are
impressed at the ongoing
infrastructure projects at
Kenyatta University, said
the President.
Graduate school
Mr Kenyatta spoke at the
university yesterday when
he opened an administration
complex and unveiled the uni-
versitys graduate school.
The President said the
universitys two hospital
projects were the most inno-
vative health projects by any
university in the country.
He was referring to the
600-bed KU research and
referral hospital that was
commissioned in November
2012 and will be complete in
October next year.
Work on a 300 bed hospital
purely for children will begin
next month.
It was allocated Sh500 mil-
lion in the Budget.
Vice chancellor Olive Mu-
genda said the infrastructure
coming up would cater for the
increasing enrolment.
From 15,000 students
when I took over in 2006, we
now have 65,000 students. We
also opened eight campuses,
said Prof Mugenda.

T
he Teachers Service
Commission does not
recognise a medical
scheme purportedly being
pushed by the Kenya National
Union of Teachers.
Commission secretary
Gabriel Lengoiboni said only
TSC could enter into a deal
of that kind and not a trade
union.
That document that is circu-
lating is not our document and
no one should take it seriously.
We have called for expression
of interest for provision of
health care to our teachers,
said Mr Lengoiboni.
He said the commission
would look for a service
provider for teachers, adding
that he had rejected a similar
attempt by the national union
of teachers two years ago.
The document by a medi-
cal service provider bearing
Knuts and the commissions
seals has drawn protests from
Kenya Union of Post Primary
Education Teachers (Kuppet).
The unions general secretary
Akelo Misori on Tuesday wrote
to the commission saying the
document was being used to
coerce non-members into join-
ing the national union.
It is evident that while the
commission is hiding under
the cover of the advert, the
preferred agent was already
identified and the advert
is a mere smokescreen to
hoodwink the public that the
procurement process is above
board, said Mr Misori.
Disowned document
However, Knut chairman
Mudzo Nzili disowned the
document. He said it had no
signatures of union leaders.
Yes the document may be
there with those details but if
it does not have signatures of
top union ocials, then it is not
genuine, said Mr Nzili.
On July 3, the commission in-
vited bids for provision of an

A
man who petitioned Parliament
to disband the electoral com-
mission has denied working
for Cord.
Mr Robert Wafula Buke said his
petition was motivated by what he
says is the incompetence and bias
of the Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in
the run-up to the General Election.
Cord, led by former Prime Minister
Raila Odinga, has cited the IEBC as
one of the reasons for its attacks on
the government.
Mr Buke yesterday submitted
evidence to back his allegations of
incompetence, gross misconduct and
violation of the Constitution by the
nine commissioners.
He, however, denied in his submis-
sion to the Justice and Legal Aairs
Committee that his petition is meant
to aid Cords agenda.
Mr Buke attempts to show that the
IEBC did not compile a voters reg-
ister as required by Article 83 of the
Constitution and that the commission
declared the nal result 16 months
after voting on March 4, 2013.
He further seeks to illustrate in his
93-page submission that the IEBC
added or subtracted votes in some
cases to achieve a desired result,
that the commission broke the law
by changing already declared results
and in many instances, used unocial
documents.
He also says there were many
instances where the commission de-
clared a multiplicity of results, citing
the Migori gubernatorial election and
Kibwezi National Assembly election.
He said many of the results were not
authenticated by signatures of candi-
dates and party agents.
Mr Bukes submission came just a
day after the IEBC urged the parlia-
mentary committee to dismiss the
petition.
IEBC chairman Isaack Hassan
(below) and his team told the com-
mittee on Tuesday that the petition
lacked facts and evidence to support
the allegations.
In his response yesterday, Mr Buke,
however, challenged Parliament to
recommend the formation of a tri-
bunal to investigate his claims.
Mr Buke was accompanied by Mr
Oduor Ongwen, a statistician who
studied the gures, who said a closer
look at the IEBC report exposes many
contradictions and inaccuracies.
Mr Ongwen said it does not give
the number of registered voters na-
tionally, per county, per constituency
and per ward.
He said the total registered voters
presented by the IEBC on its website
is 14,388,781 which he claimed diers
from the gure it gave in the Supreme
Court during the presidential results
petition.
The Justice and Legal Aairs com-
mittee will have a sitting today to
consider Mr Bukes submission.

The US says it is only reduc-
ing sta in its Nairobi Embassy
who have been working on pro-
grammes targeting the region,
outside Kenya.
Assistant Secretary of State
Linda Thomas-Greeneld told
reporters last evening that the
move was part of a temporary
step to reduce the focus of its
programmes outside Kenya
as the security situation im-
proves.
No evacuation
We have a huge regional
operation in Kenya and are
looking at how we can reduce
that footprint, she said in a
video link from Washington
DC.
More importantly, we are
looking at how we can be more
proactive in countering terror
on the continent.
The diplomat was speak-
ing on the US government
policy on sub-Saharan Africa
currently facing threats from
Boko Haram in the west and
Al-Shabaab in the east.
In May, the embassy, the
largest US mission in Africa,
announced it would reduce its
sta because of insecurity.
At the time, a statement from
Mr Robert Godec, the US am-
bassador to the country said
the mission was reviewing and
updating its security measures
and expected to take additional
steps to include moving em-
ployees.
That was interpreted in
Nairobi to mean another step
to curtail Kenyas tourism
industry.
The envoy, however, said it
was not an evacuation mis-
sion. Several other western
countries had issued travel
warnings against Kenya.
This year alone, at least
170 people have been killed
and many others injured by
terrorists.
Ms Thomas-Greeneld said
yesterday that the ultimate
solution would be how to deal
with militants.
This is a temporary move
but we hope to work with
Kenyans to change the secu-
rity situation, she said.

A
rights watchdog boss has ac-
cused police of failing to take
action against perpetrators of
sexual violence during the 2007/2008
post-election mayhem.
Ms Patricia Nyaundi, the chief ex-
ecutive ocer of the Kenya National
Commission on Human Rights said
police inaction gave the perpetrators
the courage to practice impunity.
For this, victims feared to report
and still live in fear, she said.
Ms Nyaundi was testifying yester-
day in a case in which a number of
agencies and eight survivors of sexual
violence have sued the state.
They want the government com-
pelled to compensate thousands of
victims for their suering at the hands
of civilians and police.
She added that men who were sexu-
ally molested or forcibly circumcised
did not want to raise the matter be-
cause security agents were passive
and for fear of stigmatisation.
She said it was the duty of the police
to ensure the rights of victims were
protected.
Men could not come forward for
fear of being ostracised. Many still
live in denial, she said.
She supported the petition by the
victims saying they had approached
the court so that their rights could be
respected and enforced.
What we have seen is discrimina-
tion of those who went through the
sexual violence ordeal. IDPs were
given land or about Sh400,000
compensation. It is therefore discrimi-
natory not to consider these victims
for redress too, she said.
The victims also claim the govern-
ment denied them emergency medical
services.
Ms Nyaundi was with the women
lawyers lobby, Fida, during the post-
poll violence.
She later worked with the Truth,
Justice and Reconciliation Commis-
sion.
She defended the Waki Commis-
sion report on the violence saying it
was a good reference point.
The report should be adopted by
the court. It contains testimonies,
which can help determine compen-
sation.
She said she participated in prepar-
ing the Waki and Truth, Justice and
Reconciliation Commission reports
which detailed how police ocers
deployed in hotspots to protect
vulnerable groups turned out to be
perpetrators of sexual and gender-
based violence.
The hearing continues.

T
he government yesterday
accused International Crimi-
nal Court Prosecutor Fatou
Bensouda of persistently demand-
ing irrelevant nancial and property
records in President Uhuru Kenyat-
tas case.
Attorney-General Githu Muigai
said the prosecutor had not fol-
lowed Kenyan laws and other legal
procedures.
Defending the governments
stance during a status conference on
the case, Prof Muigai dismissed Ms
Bensoudas requests for a number
of documents, saying they were ir-
relevant and not specic.
Most of the documents that were
not made available were on land,
VAT and intelligence records.
We have made available what we
thought the prosecutor requested
and what the law allowed us. We
are unable to provided records for
third parties or corporate entities
that are unidentied, he said.
Lawyer Benjamin Gumpert, rep-
resenting Ms Bensouda, accused the
government of playing hard ball in
making available a huge chunk of
the records, saying, what was pro-
vided was not what the prosecutor
wanted.
We asked the Kenyan government
to provide records of companies
owned by Mr Kenyatta or by third
parties on his behalf between June
2007 and December 2010. We have
not received any, said Mr Gumpert,
adding, the deputy senior registrar
of companies told the prosecution
it should have provided names and
registration numbers to make the
search easier.
We want formal and ocial infor-
mation. We acknowledge that there
may be diculties in searching for
individuals as opposed to company
names, but we think the records are
available, the lawyer said.
Prof Muigai, however, said the
government was not in a position
to obtain documents on individual
ownership of companies because the
records were yet to be digitised.
Company records were stored
manually until 2009. It is virtually
not possible to conduct a search
manually, he said.
Mr Kenyattas lawyer, Mr Stephen
Kay, said the government was being
asked to search for documents that
were irrelevant to the case. The gov-
ernment is being made a whipping
boy in searching for records that are
not relevant, he said.
So far, the government has made
available bank accounts and records
of four vehicles the President owned
during the specied period.
Presiding Judge Ozaki gave the
prosecution until tomorrow to pro-
vide written submissions and the
government up to July 16.

L
ast night Germany,
handed football-crazy
Brazil its biggest
sporting humiliation, with
a 7-1 drubbing in the World
Cup semi-nals.
It was the worst loss by a
host country in World Cup
history. And, as unforgiving
sports writers have noted,
it placed Brazil alongside
only two other little-fancied
nations in the annals of the
game Haiti and Zaire
(now DRC). In World Cup
1974, Yugoslavia pummelled
Haiti 9-0, while in the same
games, Poland bludgeoned
Zaire 7-0.
As a reporter put it on
the BBC website, The
collective sense of shock,
embarrassment and national
humiliation across Brazil
was impossible to ignore
and, to be fair, few people
here tried to hide it.
Brazil was a country
that could hardly see, its
collective vision blurred by
an outpouring of tears.
Yet, instead of feeling
sorry for Brazil, we should
envy it because of all
things that teach nations
and peoples life-changing
lessons, mega-humiliation
does it best.
National calamities, like
the early 2008 post-election
violence in Kenya in which
nearly 1,200 people were
killed and over 600,000
displaced, tend to have
short-lived eects.
In Kenya, it ensured that
a new generally progressive
Constitution was passed
in 2010, but clearly, the
lessons of that period have
already been forgotten.
One reason for this is that
national calamities, even
the US nuclear bombing of
Hiroshima during World
War II, often dont aect all
citizens. You can leave the
country, as often happens,
and if you are rich, you can
shield yourself from it.
A humiliation like Brazils
hiding by Germany nds
you wherever you are, and
aicts the lowly as much as
the mighty.
Brazil, in several ways,
is a country that needed
humbling. Its spectacular
economic growth and rising
international inuence of
the last two decades led to
the emergence of a cocky
stone-deaf elite.
It brushed aside its
spending of $11 billion
(Sh957 billion) on the World
Cup when the majority
of its people have not yet
been touched by its new
prosperity and are suering.
The Brazilian team, which
started out as favourites to
win the World Cup, itself
approached the tournament
with a sense divine destiny,
and didnt bother to x its
frailties as it squeaked its
way into the semi-nals.
Finally, Tuesday
night arrived, and they
encountered a voice they
could no longer ignore.
Working through German
boots, it told them: Hey,
you are a wonderful nation,
but you are not perfect, and
there is a lot of hard work
you still need to do.
Without a golden trophy
and its worst humiliation
in 100 years, the political
elite now have nothing to
show for the peoples $11
billion; they can get out of
jail through reforms and
continued improvements all
round.
If Brazil had won, the
people would have had to
eat victory, hence the best
that happened to Brazil of
the future was demolition by
Germany at the World Cup.
It could be a century
before Brazil lives down its
Tuesday night nightmare,
but in its hours of glory in
the years to come, it could
remember it too as the
turning point.
Weve seen it in countries
like Rwanda that produced
among Africas rst massive
group of refugees in 1959.
They endured deprivation,
and humiliation in refugee
camps in Burundi, DRC,
Tanzania, and Uganda
for three decades, and by
1990, they couldnt take
it anymore and set out in
droves to ght Africas rst
return-to-homeland war.
There are, of course, many
reasons why the Rwanda
capital, Kigali, is one of the
cleanest and most orderly
on the continent. Among
them is that people who
returned home after the war
ended in July, 1994, dont
want to live in the type
of squalor reminiscent of
the refugee camps and the
margins of society where
they lurked for a generation.
Humiliation is also the
reason people who are born
poor and become rich tend
to keep on growing richer.
They know the pain of going

Likewise, it is one of
the explanations for why
most Africans born into
wealth over the last 30
years have failed to grow
the family fortune. They
just dont know how bad the
alternative is.
Deprivation, fear,
suering, and pain
sometimes destroy human
beings. But they also make
us stronger and we strive to
do better.

Report on education
nancing ridiculous
A
team formed to suggest ways of making
secondary school education aordable has
made some outrageous proposals that are
sure to spark an outcry.
It has, for instance, recommended imposing a
new levy on mobile telephone airtime as a way
of raising money to fund education. Should that
happen, the cost of making calls will just go up, for
the providers will pass the cost on to consumers.
Clearly, this will be a case of robbing Peter to
pay Paul. Instead of the team suggesting ways of
easing parents burden, the proposal will just make
nonsense of its work.
The task force has also recommended that
smaller schools be merged to make them
economically viable.
It is dicult to believe that such a proposal was
made by people who understand the geographical
and demographic factors that inuence school
enrolment.
As matters stand, some schools, like those in
arid and semi-arid areas, have been forced to enrol
fewer students, either due to low population, or due
to the long distances that pupils have to cover to go
to school.
With such proposals, it is easy to understand
why trade unions are already threatening to reject
the report. Given that the teachers unions were
represented in the task force, it is possible such
recommendations were actually sneaked into the
report.
It appears the team headed by former Education
Assistant Minister Kilemi Mwiria deviated from its
core mandate of providing workable solutions to
help lower the cost of secondary education to nd
itself in the bush.
This report must be thoroughly scrutinised and if
found unworthy, tossed out of the window
Revolution that aborted
Y
esterday, the Republic of South Sudan
celebrated its third year of independence,
but a country that promised to be one of the
most prosperous in Africa due to its abundant oil
and mineral reserves is on the verge of becoming a
failed state.
Most South Sudanese must be asking themselves
what there is to celebrate in the face of conict that
has torn the country right down the middle because
its top leaders are unwilling to work for peace.
Besides the civil war that is now threatening
to spread to more states, South Sudan faces a
devastating famine due to disruption of farming.
Both President Salva Kiir and former Vice-
President Riek Machar should work harder to
ensure peace returns to the country. It is not
in their interests to leave the legacy of being
responsible for destroying what was once the most
promising country in the continent.
On the eve of South Sudans independence
in July 9, 2011, citizens danced all night in the
streets awaiting freedom after 50 years of war and
suering. This hope has now turned into a mirage.
The United Nations Security Council must
now nd new ways of preventing a massive
humanitarian catastrophe.

LESSONS WE MISSED | Fred M. Mwirigi
I
n January and February
2008, Kenya witnessed
unprecedented violence
triggered by the disputed
presidential elections of
December 2007.
More than 1200 people died
and another 600,000 plus
were displaced in the violence,
whose graphic pictures remain
etched in our minds.
Yet we seem to have learnt
nothing from the post-poll
chaos. Even before we can heal
as a nation, our leaders are
busy traversing the country
blowing trumpets of war.
It is instructive that the
people who sparked the 2008
blood-letting are the same
ones taking us there again.
Indeed, the script of the
events that led to that violence
is being replayed by the same
leaders, seven short years
later.
So, are we about to ignite
Kenya all over again? And, if
we do, who will suer? Will
our leaders and their children
walk the road of blood and
tears with us?
The answer is NO. We will
butcher one another as they
and their families watch the
unfolding events on CNN from
their safe havens. Later, as we
bury our dead, they will y
back and take over power.
In Rwanda 20 years ago, the
world watched in horror as
Hutu extremists slaughtered
thousands of the minority
Tutsi and moderate Hutus. In
just over 100 days, more than
800,000 people died.
Women were raped and
kept for weeks as sex slaves.
Machetes were used to cut
the throats of toddlers while
their mothers breasts were
chopped o.
Men were hacked to death
or had their skulls crashed
with heavy clubs after long
periods of gruesome torture.
To-date, Rwanda is yet to fully
recover from the eects of the
genocide.
In Egypt, an uprising was
called in January 2011, and
demonstrations started at
Tahrir Square. In the next
few days, bloodshed and
destruction of property
characterised the erstwhile
serene streets of Cairo.
Buildings were burned,
police stations torched and
thousands killed. To-date,
Egypt continues to reel under
the weight of street protests.
In Syria, mass protests
erupted in Damascus and
Aleppo in March 2011. In a
short time, Syria had been
turned into a pit of agony and
blood-letting.
The death toll in Syria has
surpassed 120,000 people,
with more than four million
displaced.
Wherever you look,
examples of what violence
can do to a nation and its
people abound, from the
raped women in Rwanda, to
the chopped hands in Liberia;
from the deaths in South
Sudan to the chopped heads in
the Central African Republic;
from the maimed children of
Syria to the displaced children
in Naivasha.
We must stand up against
leaders who seek to pit us
against each other. We must
stand up against leaders who
traverse this country whipping
emotions and calling us to war.
We must say never again shall
we slaughter each other.
I end by expressing a deep
fear. After talking to some
friends from Mpeketoni, I now
believe the mass slaughter
of Mpeketoni might not have
been terrorist-related.
Of course we need to wait
for complete investigations.
However, should it be true
that the Mpeketoni episode
was not engineered by Al-
Shabaab, then who wanted to
slaughter our people? What
was supposed to be the end-
game of this massacre?
We must also interrogate the
capacity of Cabinet Secretary
Joseph ole Lenku and Police
Inspector-General Kimaiyo to
manage our security system.
If a robber is convinced you
have no security in your house
even if you do, he will still pay
you a visit.
My fear is that in the face
of escalating insecurity, calls
for mass action, terrorist
bombs, and idle jobless youths
who are ready to take up any
job regardless of what its
eects will be, we are setting
ourselves up for something
very bad.
I urge President Kenyatta
to act fast, for we might be
on the verge of something
terrible. We are running on
borrowed time, Mr President!

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. The resurgence of

unacceptable, remarks Ruth Gituma, in response to
reports about the slaughter of another 24 innocent
Kenyans, bringing the toll to nearly 70. She is
disappointed that this is happening when the whole
security apparatus is at the disposal of Inspector-
General of Police David Kimaiyo and Interior Cabinet
Secretary Joseph ole Lenku. The two in charge of
security must be held accountable.

WASTED MANPOWER. For his part, Wamahiu
Muya is upset that 15,000 police ocers had to be
deployed to secure Cords Saba Saba rally, while Al-
Shabaab and their local allies have turned Lamu into
Kenyas killing elds. Inter- and intra-ethnic clashes,
he adds, are still raging unabated, as criminal gangs
ravage our towns and villages, killing innocents, while
white-collar barons eece Kenyans. Kenyans, he says,
must not be held to ransom by megalomaniacs bent on
dividing them along ethnic lines.
WHERE ARE THEY? Of the 10 presidential
candidates in last years General Election, only three
have been involved in seeking solutions to national
problems, says Gitau Githii. President Kenyatta, former
Prime Minister Raila Odinga, and to a lesser extent,
Mr Musalia Mudavadi, have been active. Where are
the others and what is their stand on the calls for
national dialogue? They should not complain if no one
takes them seriously again. Jesus healed 10 lepers but
only one came back to say thank you. They, too, have
abandoned us. His contact is agithii@yahoo.com.
LET DOWN BY TUSKYS. While shopping at
Tuskys Supermarkets Tom Mboya Street outlet
in Nairobi, on July 3, Roselyn Atieno accidentally
dropped a Simba Mbili curry powder packet, and a
shop attendant dashed towards her, demanding she
pay for it. My plea that it was an accident fell on deaf
ears and the manager snubbed me. Roselyn was so
upset she gave back all her shopping and paid Sh90
for the curry powder, leaving her Sh10 change behind.
They have lost a loyal customer, declares Roselyn,
whose contact is roselyn_nerea@yahoo.com.
THEY ARE NOT ALL MEAN. Not all the petrol
station owners in Nairobi are mean to their customers,
says John N. Gikima, adding that he knows of one
that still oers freebies to attract more customers.
But one, he adds, would have to get out of the central
business district and head for the Kasarani-Mwiki
road on the citys northern outskirts to reach Amikev
Petrol Station. The management not only oers
monthly rebates on the fuel purchased, their pressure
checking machine is always working.
GREAT WORLD CUP. The World Cup in Brazil has
been a success, says Alnashir Walji, adding: From the
xtures, one can see there has been the best football
organisation, with no hitches in any of the pitches,
and good reporting. Though Brazilians protested
against hosting the tournament terming it a waste of
national resources, their country has enjoyed global
attention. The fans have had a lot to cheer about and
I hope Harambee Stars learned a lot from President
Kenyattas sponsorship to watch some matches.
Have a thrilling day, wont you!
I
n a politically charged environment,
good things can easily go unnoticed.
For the womens movement in Kenya,
June 18 was a good day.
The National Assembly responded
to questions raised regarding what the
government was doing about female
genital mutilation and the number of
FGM cases reported since the enactment
of the Prohibition of the FGM Act (2011).
Women leaders narrated their personal
experiences as victims of the practice
without shame or fear. The debate
demonstrated political will to protect girls
and women.
While the media coverage on that day
quoted Mr Jimmy Angwenyi, saying, the
Kisii culture requires to have a small cut
on their girls, it is important to look at
the strong responses that supported an
end to FGM.
Kenya has made remarkable progress
in ghting FGM. In 1983, President Moi
attempted to ban the practice but elders
fought back, saying, the practice was a
cultural prerogative of the communities.
A motion seeking to ban it was defeated
in Parliament in November 1996. In 1998,
prevalence rates were as high as 38 per
cent.
Of Kenyas 42 tribes, 38 have
traditionally practised FGM. The national
prevalence has since gone down to 27 per
cent, with Kenya recording the highest
decline in Africa.
Yet incredibly high prevalence rates
are recorded within communities. These
include the Somali community at 98 per
cent, Kisii at 96 per cent and Maasai at
73 per cent. The practice is also relatively
high among the Meru, Taita, Kalenjin,
Embu, Meru, Kikuyu, Kamba and
Mijikenda.
Among some communities, FGM
is closely linked to child marriage. It,
therefore does not come as a surprise
that recently, a section of women from
Kajiado County were asking for the law to
be repealed, saying, they have a right to
practise their culture.
This came shortly after the death of
a 13-year-old girl as a result of heavy
bleeding following FGM.
It is encouraging to note the stance
taken by Kajiado legislator Joseph ole
Nkaissery, who categorically stated that
there is one law for all Kenyans.
The oce of the Director of Public
Prosecutions should be singled out for
its commendable eorts. By forming
a prosecutorial team of 20 ocials to
handle FGM cases, arrests have been
made, including one of a chief in Kajiado.
Additionally, the team has bonded
circumcisers in Kajiado showing that it
will no longer be business as usual for
female genital cutters.
There is also a systematic tabulation of
cases, and progress in implementation of
the law is promising.
Various Members of Parliament raised
serious concerns, who pointed out that
sentences against FGM practitioners
remain too short, while cases take too
long to conclude. For instance, one case in
Kuria took seven years.
Parliament needs to take up the
challenge and bring back a motion making
penalties stier and faster.
It has also been pointed out that the
rite continues to be used as a bargaining
chip by politicians. Reports on the
medicalisation of FGM have been oating
around for a long time, yet no substantive
investigations have been carried out.
Mr Nkaissery and Kajiado County
Woman Representative Mary Seneta have
publicly claimed that NGOs are inciting
Maasai women to sustain the practice.
Civil society organisations are part and
parcel of Kenyas vibrant democracy and
they play a role in holding the government
to account. In return, the government
should demand accountability from the
NGOs and weed out those using FGM as
a cash-cow.

Should Lamu and Tana River villagers be armed for self-defence?
JARED MOSETI: No. Its the role of
the national government to provide
security. And the TJRC report should
be implemented.
JAMES NJAU: The ruling elite
wants Wanjiku out of the Lapsset cor-
ridor since the land has appreciated.
Expect no arms for Wanjiku.
JUSTIN N. NKARANGA: Yes. They
should have been armed yesterday
since the State has failed to protect
their lives and property. Those citi-
zens being attacked will start thinking
perhaps the government has a hand
in the orgy of massacres.
SILA LAGAT: Arming of civilians
is not acceptable. They will turn the
weapons on themselves.
H. K. KANGETHE: No, they should
not. It is very dangerous because they
may turn against each other later us-
ing the same weapons.
KAGWE WARUTA: No. That will be
advocating for the rule of the jungle.

ment is blind. The attacks in Lamu

W
hen explosions went o
near the finish line of
the Boston Marathon on
April 15, 2013, killing dozens and
wounding others, President Barack
Obama immediately gave a speech
to the American people.
He said inter alia: We dont
know all the answers. But we know
that multiple people have been
wounded, some gravely. I have spo-
ken to FBI Director Mueller and
Secretary of Homeland Security
Napolitano and they are mobilising
the appropriate resources to inves-
tigate and respond.
Ive updated leaders of Con-
gress in both parties and we reaf-
rm that on days like this, there
are no Republicans or Democrats
(read Jubilee or Cord) we are
Americans (read Kenyans), united
in concern for fellow citizens.
Jump to conclusions
He went on: We still do not
know who did this or why. And peo-
ple should not jump to conclusions
before we have all the facts.
I admired this mature speech.
He portrayed himself as a leader
out to unite his people in the face
of adversity, irrespective of political
aliations or skin colour.
He did not jump to conclusions
as to who might be responsible
or start blaming his political op-
ponents; he did not even mention
terrorists at that juncture; proper
investigations had to be done rst.
President Obama could have eas-
ily jumped to the conclusion that
this was the work of whites against
black rule, but he didnt. That is
what real leaders are; they rise
above pettiness, narrow-minded
grand-standing or coiling back into
tribal and political cocoons.
What happened in Boston is hap-
pening almost daily in Kenya. Now
compare Obamas speech to the
kind we are accustomed to from
the leadership.
I was particularly frightened
when President Kenyatta made a
televised address to the nation on
June 17, in the aftermath of the two
attacks in Mpeketoni.
He did not hesitate to point an
accusing nger at local political
networks which I interpreted to
mean Cord leaders his government
accuses of heightening political
tension in the country.
Leave alone the fact that by then
no conclusive or proper investiga-
tions had been done to establish
who had made the attacks. Indeed,
as we speak, it appears the govern-
ment is yet to know who exactly is
killing innocent people in Lamu.
President Kenyatta went on:
The attack was well planned,
orchestrated and politically moti-
vated violence against a Kenyan
community, with the intention of
proling and evicting them for po-
litical reasons.
Soon after his speech, members
of the supposed targeted commu-
nity started demonstrating against
Cord leader Raila Odinga.
I dont know what the President
wanted to achieve, but I thought
that speech should not have been
delivered in the rst place by a
president of a nation.

Come to the rescue of mentally unstable mother and her child
Residents of Kakamega Town must know this
mentally unstable young woman, who stations herself
daily at the regional police station fence, stringing
along, a child of six years or so possibly hers. For a
year now, sympathetic passers-by have oered them
food, clothing and even toys.
No single child welfare institution has shown inter-
est in the condition of this seemingly normal child. I
have visited local child welfare institutions, both gov-
ernment and private, in a bid to ameliorate their prob-
lem. All have treated me contemptuously, as if telling
me to mind my business. Meanwhile, this being rainy
season, this child and her mother are continuously
being drenched, considering the woman never seeks
shelter and is hostile to any intervention.
The Kenya polices own child protection centre is
barely 200 metres from where this woman settles;
when I visited them the other day over the matter, a
seemingly bored receptionist told me: We tried to
arrest the mother last year, but it seems somebody
tipped her not to come to her usual place. Arrest?
This womans place is a facility for the mentally ill!
It is psychologically harmful for this child to con-
tinue accompanying her mother, instead of playing
with her age mates. She needs school, company and
love. I implore any institution or well-wisher out
there, dedicated to such cases, to help this little angel.

KTDAs rejoinder to Tea Board of
Kenya and Tea Industry Status 2014
reports on how the agency has been
colluding with brokers to x prices
and eecing small-scale farmers
holds no water. And it is tantamount
to closing the barn door when the
horse has escaped. It defeats logic
that KTDA should take a week to
ght back and yet they claim to have
answers within themselves.
The damage is already done to the
long-standing reputation of its man-
agement of the 66 tea processing
factories located across the country.
If this is only one area of the agency
riddled with such allegations, then
we may not require to dig too deep
to stumble on a Pandoras box on
other areas of operation.
KTDA will only have a new lease
of life and its condence in farm-
ers restored, if a forensic audit of
all these allegations is done to give
the agency a clean bill of health, not
lengthy statements of denial.
Farmers are happy with the gov-
ernment assurance that the ndings
of the report will be implemented
and the tea auction in Mombasa au-
tomated, among other reforms.
JOE GACHOKA, Kagwe
During the past one month, I have
observed with a sense of sadness the
consistent attacks in sections of the
media directed at Kenyas largest tea
producer, KTDA Limited.
I urge small-scale tea farmers al-
iated to KTDA to ignore the attacks,
which are based on falsehood and
misinformation, and focus on build-
ing the small scale tea sector.
It would be terrible if farmers fell
for the tricks that are designed to
destroy the small-scale tea sector
and render hundreds of thousands of
families destitute.
As small scale farmers without
the advantage of economies of
scale, their strength lies in working
together under the KTDA, which is
recognised as one of the best models
for small holders in the world.
Despite challenges and unpredict-
ability of international trade, KTDA
has kept the sector vibrant, pay-
ing farmers in time, and providing
extension services and training for
superior crop, which has remained
popular among consumers world-
wide. KTDAs eorts at value addi-
tion, despite limited nancing, have
been commendable.
KTDA is one of the key pillars of
Kenyas economy and it should be
honoured for its role in safeguarding
the fortunes of one of the most im-
portant sectors of the economy.

T
he family of a rich
woman who died in
2012 is embroiled in a
battle over her properties.
At the centre of the Sh200
million property dispute are
two death certicates purport-
ing Ms Amar Kaur Matharu
died in dierent places.
Ms Matharu left several
plots in Nairobi and India
as well as bank accounts
in Kenya, France and the
Netherlands which were to
be shared equally among her
eight children.
The family also has ware-
houses on Mombasa and
Enterprise roads and a print-
ing rm in Nakuru.
After Ms Matharus death,
the eldest daughter, Ms
Surinder Kaur Devgun, led
an application to be made the
estates administrator.
However, two of her broth-
ers, Mr Tarlochan Singh
Matharu and Mr Kamal Jeet
Singh Matharu, led an objec-
tion, saying their sister did not
inform or consult them.
They also challenged her
suitability, saying according
to Sikh customs, she was
not permitted to inherit her
fathers estate as she is a
married.
Mr Justice William Musy-
oka dismissed the objection,
ruling it was filed out of
time and without the courts
permission. He granted the
letters of administration to
Ms Devgun.
The youngest brother, Mr
Parmjeet Singh Matharu,
has also objected to his sis-
ter being made the estate
administrator and is ques-
tioning the authenticity of
the death certicate she had
submitted.
The original death cer-
tificate we have shows our
mother died at Mater Hospital
while my sisters has the place
of death as South C. A letter
by the provincial administra-
tion says our mother died at
Westlands, making us wonder
if she died in three places at
the same time, he said.
Parmjeet also accuses his
sisters lawyer of failing to
surrender a copy of their
mothers will and concealing
some properties in India by
not listing them among those
to be shared out.
My sister even led a sale
agreement of a property in
India showing it was sold for
Sh4 million when we know
its value is 100 times more.
We believe she has not done
justice to our parents through
the manner she is administer-
ing the estate, he said.
Mr Justice Aggrey Muche-
lule directed Parmjeet to le
a formal application and serve
the other parties.

Public institutions will be left out in compensation
for land to be acquired for the construction of the
standard gauge railway, according to Kenya Railways
Corporation managing director Atanas Maina. Mr
Maina said Kenya Wildlife Service and Kenya Prison
Services were among the entities that would not get
a share of the Sh9.6 billion set aside for land owners
since they were part of the same government that
would be paying those to be displaced. Speaking
in Wundanyi during a meeting with Taita Taveta

Airstrip plan ies into
birds migration path
BY MORAA OBIRIA
@moraaobiria
mobiria@ke.nationmedia.com
N
akuru County may not real-
ise its dream of an airstrip
due to fears that it might
interfere with the movement of
amingoes.
A search for a suitable terrain
away from the birds migratory
corridor between Lake Nakuru
and Lake El mentai ta has not
yielded fruit.
Prospects by the Kenya Civil
Aviation Authority (KCAA) of build-
ing an airstrip on a 600-acre piece
of land at Pipeline were abandoned
after the National Environment
Management Authority (Nema)
declined to approve the project on
grounds that the airport land lay on
amingoes migratory route.
Although the Nakuru County
government had proposed to the
authority two sites, one in Njoro and
another in Naivasha, the former was
rejected due to poor terrain.
Surveying the Naivasha site
Engineers from the Kenya Airports
Authority (KAA), which is mandated
to provide airport infrastructure,
and others from the KCAA, the air
transport regulator, are surveying the
Naivasha site.
We (KAA) have our engineers and
those from the KCAA surveying the
Naivasha site and once the process is
complete, we will be able to know if
it is suitable, said Ms Angela Tilitei,
the KAA corporate communications
manager, in an interview.
The Njoro location, which had
been proposed by the Nakuru County
government, was found to be unsuit-
able because of the poor terrain.
The number of travellers expected
to use the airstrip, the direction of
wind and the type of aircraft that
will be using it are among factors to
determine the approval.
As a domestic airstrip, it is pro-
jected to serve about one million
travellers annually.
The construction is estimated to
cost Sh60 million, dependent on the
length of the runway and the quality
of materials used.
The airstrips economic viability
will also be a factor.
The government does not want
to spend money on an airport or
airstrip that will not generate any
revenue or enough prots to sustain
its services, said Mr Henry Ogoye,
the head of corporate planning and
strategy at KAA.
The need to establish the airstrip
away from birds is underlined by
losses incurred when planes collide
with birds.
The repair of a failed engine due to
a strike of a bird requires up to Sh300
million, a huge amount that can be in-
vested in the KAA expansion projects,
according to Mr Erick Kiraithe, the
authoritys general manager for safety
and security.
A search for a suitable
site away from birds

borne no fruit, but

The Nakuru County government did not play any
role in the controversial free Wi-Fi connection
project besides hosting it, a county ocial has said.
In a statement led at the High Court in Nakuru,
county secretary Joseph Motari said the county
government did not possess details of the project
since it was not party to its procurement and
implementation. The ocial was responding to an
access-to-information case led by the Law Society
of Kenya (Rift Valley), Nakuru East MP David
Gikaria and the Counties Eciency in Development,
a non-government organisation. Mr Motari said the
free Internet connection project was exclusively

only played host to the project. The case will be

Co-ops are our road to Canaan, says Waithaka
BY DAVID MACHARIA
@DavidMacharia1
davemash1@gmail.com
Nyandarua Governor Daniel Wait-
haka Mwangi believes that solving
problems in the dairy and potato
sectors will take his people to the
promised land.
Most of those who seek audience
with him each day complain of chal-
lenges in marketing either potatoes or
milk. He feels the challenges can be
solved through the formation of farm-
ers cooperative societies.
Mr Waithaka says he would strive to
revive dormant societies and help start
new ones. It is only through coopera-
tive societies that our people can be
empowered socio-economically. He
was speaking in his Ol Kalou oce
yesterday.
My administration has initiated
important steps to revive the coopera-
tive sector in order to protect farmers.
We have also ventured in the area of
savings and
credit societies and have partnered
with the private sector to create incen-
tives necessary for the growth of these
movements.
The county, according to Mr Waith-
aka, boasts of 110 cooperative societies
in farming, savings and credit, hous-
ing and investment areas. The region
has 50 saccos, 33 dairy societies, nine
housing and investments cooperatives,
four horticulture-based societies, two
investment societies and 12 rural coop-
erative societies. The total membership
is 95,555, with a combined turnover of
Sh929.7 million, the governor says.
Last year, savings mobilisation
amounted to Sh3.8 billion, with 60 per
cent of the money loaned to members
for development, especially in real es-
tate and transport industries. The rest
was borrowed for other needs such as
education and medical expenses.
Dairy societies earned Sh1.5 billion
from the sale of 49,676,930 litres of
milk last year, says the governor.
Mr Waithakas dream is to see
Nyandarua people use the societies as
their vehicles to economic growth. He
challenges existing societies to move
to bigger investments, saying those
in matatu business should aim for air
transport and others for mega shop-
ping malls.
He believes the impact and benet
of cooperative movements will be felt
when their membership reaches at
least a third of the county population.
Currently, 98,000 people are mem-
bers of societies against a population
of about 700,000 people.
It is unfortunate that less than
100,000 people in Nyandarua are in
cooperatives. My intention is to have
at least 250,000 people as members
in the next two years, states the gov-
ernor, who expects the cooperative
movement to drive the county towards
industrialisation.
The societies, if strengthened, will
also enable farmers to realise enough
income for modern farming and to
embrace green energy through use of
biogas from zero-grazing, according to
the county boss.
He challenges the existing societies
to aim at developing from ordinary
lending institutions to major investors
with mega stores like those in devel-
oped countries.
We need cooperatives that can
open stores to sell motor vehicles here
so that people stop going to Nairobi or
Nakuru to buy cars, the governor says.

Nyeri > County assembly criticised over failure to consult public on plan
Nyeri made the ruling yesterday when
the case came up for mention.
On April 5, Justice Wakiaga halted
the relocation after lawyer Robert
Kimunya, for the applicants, claimed
the governor and county assembly
ocials had started vacating their
oces.
The applicants among them, Mr
Sammy Ndungu, are seeking to re-
strain the governor and the county
assembly from relocating the head
oce.
They maintain that there was no
public participation regarding plans
to move the headquarters.
According to them, the public
should have been consulted on such
a crucial matter.
However, Ms Rose Onsari, for the
governor and the county assembly,
said it was impossible for the ocials
to move from the current headquarters
to an empty piece of land. There is no
information in the Hansard directing
the relocation of the headquarters,
she said.
Ms Onsari said there was no con-
struction taking place on the Rumuruti
plot and that it would take at least
two years to relocate. She claimed Mr
Kimunya had sourced his information
from a newspaper article.
Ms Onsari requested the court to
grant her more time to get relevant
documents before commencement
of the suit.
On February 5, the assembly passed
a motion to shift the county headquar-
ters to Rumuruti Town.

Ban on Nile
perch shing
for 4 months
Siaya >
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Nile perch fishing has been
banned in Lake Kanyaboli for
four months.
Chiefs were yesterday told
to enforce the ban against the
harvesting and sale of the sh, a
popular delicacy in Nyanza and
other western regions.
The ban lasts from July to Octo-
ber, according to the Siaya County
government.
Local fisheries officer, a Mr
Mboya, said the decision was in-
tended to replenish the dwindling
sh stocks in Lake Kanyaboli.
Fishermen will not be allowed
to harvest sh from the lake while
traders will be prohibited from
transporting the species from the
lake, he said.
However sherman Oloo Opondo
accused the county government
and the Kenya Wildlife Service of
making a wrong decision, arguing
that shing in the lake was legal
with seven registered beaches
under the watch of the sheries
department.
We are shocked to learn of the
ban on shing in the area said to
have been gazetted as a national
reserve yet the locals were not in-
volved in making such a decision,
said Mr Opondo.

bid to avert a looming strike over a

The unions ferry services branch
secretary, Mr Georey Ochola, said
they were summoned on Monday,
when their ultimatum to the Trans-
port ministry to resolve the impasse
expired.
It seems the Labour ministry is
responding to a media report on Mon-
day that we would start our strike on
Tuesday after the Transport ministry
ignored our pleas for talks, said Mr
Ochola shortly before attending the
closed-door meeting with the ministry
ocials.
According to him, top union of-
cials and KFS management would
take part in the talks, mediated by
labour ocers.

Last Friday, the unions secretary-
general, Mr Simon Sang, issued a
warning that ferry workers would go
on strike this week if the Transport
ministry failed to hold talks with the
union over a collective bargaining
agreement.
At a meeting with 172 unionisable
employees in the island oce com-
pound, Mr Sang pleaded for more
time to appeal to Transport Cabinet
Secretary Michael Kamau or Principal
Secretary Nduva Muli before embark-
ing on the industrial action.
We have sought audience with top
Ministry of Transport ocials but in
vain since we issued our strike notice
on June 13, said Mr Sang, adding that
it was necessary to give them another
chance because ferry services were
crucial to the economy.
Halting ferry services will not be
good for this countrys economy,
he said.
The union boss wrote two letters to
the Labour and Transport ministries
after the talks collapsed on June 13,
hoping that they would resolve the
impasse. The management insisted on
a 10 per cent pay increase while the
union wanted a 50 per cent rise.

Illegal shing hurts
Lake Naivasha stocks
BY MORAA OBIRIA
mobiria@ke.nationmedia.com
U
nlicensed shermen are threat-
ening stocks in Lake Naivasha
and hampering Nakuru County
governments eorts to boost com-
mercial shing.
Licensed fishermen raised the
alarm over the sh poachers who
venture in the lake at night deplet-
ing stocks.
The county set aside Sh9 million to
boost commercial shing by purchas-
ing a boat to regulate sh harvesting
in the lake. The cash will also be used
to provide sh feeds and liners.
However, Lake Naivasha Boat Own-
ers Association, whose members are
licensed shermen, said doing away
with poaching is crucial since it
threatens the livelihoods of more
than 10,000 families that depend on
sh from the freshwater mass.
Fish poaching is so rampant in the
lake. It is done by the illegal shermen
Association wants
surveillance and
equipment increased
to prevent poaching
who are not licensed to harvest sh
at the lake and this results to over
harvesting, said Mr David Kilo, the
associations chairman.
It is so unfair to the shermen
who have adhered to all the require-
ments which involve nancial costs,
he added.
Mr Kilo said there was need for
the county government to prioritise
purchase of three engines to facilitate
night and daytime patrols as well as
employ scouts for surveillance.
We have three boats used for the
patrols but they have all broken down
making it dicult to carry out the
patrols, he noted.
Another challenge faced by the
shermen is the presence of water
hyacinth. The weed is threatening the
sustainability of commercial shing
on Lake Naivasha, a major concern
the chairman said the county govern-
ment should address.
The shermen cannot access areas
where the hyacinth has grown and it
moves from one side of the lake to the
other depending on the season and
direction of wind, Mr Kilo said.
With the devolution of functions,
the sheries department falls under
the county government whose leader-
ship is mandated to meet the dockets
development demands.

Small scale farmers in Bomet County
yesterday demanded disbandment of
the Kenya Tea Development Agency
accusing it of colluding with factories
to eece them.
The tea growers said that they no
longer trusted the agencys manage-
ment and it was time a new body was
established to take care of the already
impoverished farmers.
In a statement to the Press in Bomet
Town, the farmers alleged that KTDA was
colluding with cartels to deny small scale
farmers their rightful earnings from sales
at the Mombasa Tea Auction.
A farmer, Mr Weldon Mutai, said it
beats logic for KTDAs management
to talk of being unable to pay growers
their interim bonus without valid ex-
planations.
He dared the agency to come out in the
open and tell them where the sales accru-
ing from the deliveries disappeared to.
We are also asking that bonus pay-
ments be reviewed so that farmers can
be compensated for missing the interim
payments, he added.
Speaking for more than 300 farmers,
Mr Mutai said the government should
push for the amendment of the tea Act
so as to ease taxes on the growers.

be made by Chief Justice Willy
Mutunga. He then transferred
the case le to the CJ.
Principal judge Mwongo
will preside over the consti-
tuted bench, says Dr Mutunga
in a statement issued on Tues-
day.
The case has been merged
with another one led by 35
Embu voters and had prompted
judge Mwongo to put on hold
the swearing in of Deputy
Governor Dorothy Nditi or any
plans to replace Mr Wambora
until the case was concluded.
Mr Justice Odunga had
upheld the argument by Mr
Wamboras lawyer Francis
Nyamu that the case had raised
important issues that necessi-
tated setting up a bench.
One of the cases raises
substantial questions of law
warranting the constitution of
a bench of an uneven number
of judges as provided for in
Article 165 (4) of the Consti-
tution. I, therefore, direct that
these cases be transferred to
the Chief Justice forthwith
to consider constitution of a
bench, Mr Justice Odunga said
on the day he forwarded the
matter to Dr Mutunga.
Mr Wambora is temporarily
in oce following his reinstate-
ment by Mr Justice Mwongo
on May 15, when the Embu
voters pleaded with him that
they had not been involved in
the impeachment.
Mr Nyamu and Mr Ndegwa
Njiru, the lawyer for the Embu
voters, said the matter was so
weighty that only a bench could
properly give a fair hearing.
This is not the rst time Mr
Wambora has sought a bench
to hear his case.
When he first moved to
court in Kerugoya, three judges
halted his impeachment but the
Senate went ahead to remove
him from oce.
Three judges will
ascertain whether
governors rights
infringed when he
was impeached

The meteorological de-
partment with the Ministry
of Agriculture will distribute
100 rain gauges to farmers in
10 counties, in a programme
aimed at helping them predict
weather patterns.
Speaking yesterday at a
farmers training centre in Na-
kurus Kiamunyi estate, county
director of meteorological
services Peter Njuguna said
the rain gauges were bought
in partnership with the World
Meteorological Organisation
and National Oceanic Atmos-
pheric Administration.
The weather is central to
peoples lives and its signi-
cance and eects can no longer
be underestimated, hence the
need for each individual to
have the capacity of predict-
ing weather patterns, said Mr
Njuguna.
The farmers were trained on
how to measure rainfall using
the gauges. The measure-
ments are supposed to assist
the farmers to understand the
rainfall levels and plant crops
which can perform well under
those levels.

Fishermen dismayed by Sh76m budget
saying it is not adequate for the industry
Fishermen in Mombasa yesterday expressed dismay
over the allocation of Sh76 million by the county
government for development of sheries. The shermens
representative, Mr Adin Ahmed, termed the funding as
paltry, saying it showed the county chiefs were not
interested in revitalising it. Mr Ahmed who is also a leader
of the Old Town beach management unit said over 30,000
shermen in Mombasa were languishing in poverty due
to lack of modern shing gear. Many of them use dugout
canoes and could not venture out to the deep sea which
has abundant sh with high market value such as tuna. The
countys budget stands at Sh12.1 billion.
Ruling draws

T
he Supreme Courts
decision to uphold the
election of Garissa
Governor Nathif Jama drew
varying reactions from the
residents.
While some expressed their
disappointment with the ruling,
others said it armed that Mr
Jama was fairly elected as the
Governor of Garissa County.
Although there was not much
outpouring of joy following the
decision, some residents who
spoke to the Nation expressed
their happiness.
They said it was the right
decision taken as Mr Jama had
started development projects
which he should be allowed to
complete.
Clan rivalry
Mr Farah Ahmed said the
governor would now have to
complete his development
projects in a county that has
suffered marginalisation by
successive national govern-
ments.
He asked local leaders to put
their political dierences aside
and unite the people who have
been split for many years by
clan rivalry.
What we need is develop-
ment so that we benet fully
from the devolved system of
governance. Let us give full
support to Nathif Jama, said
Mr Ahmed.
Work together
Mr Ibrahim Abdi was one of
those not happy with the ver-
dict but was quick to add that
the people of Garissa should
close ranks and work together
for the regions good.
He said the move to chal-
lenge Mr Jama had heightened
political temperatures, which
now needed to cool down for
the sake of development.
We dont agree with the
decision of the judges but
Garissa belongs to us all. I
urge my fellow residents to
maintain peace, he said.
Some appalled by
the verdict, others
say governor
should complete
his tenure

investor Mr Brij Kishore will set up several plants that
will process crops such as bananas, sugarcane as well as
coee. The investor also intends to build a water bottling
plant in collaboration with Kisii University. Mr Ongwae
said the county wants to partner with individuals and
companies that will invest in technologies that will benet

JUBA, Wednesday
S
outh Sudan President
Salva Kiir today urged
rebel chief Riek Machar
to restart talks to end a raging
civil war between their forces
that has driven the country to
the brink of famine.
Even if Riek Machars
forces still continue attacking
our forces, I still renew my call
for him to accept the logic of
peaceful resolution, Mr Kiir told
crowds at celebrations to mark
three years of independence.
Put down your guns and
come home.
South Sudan has been wracked
by war since mid-December,
when presidential guards loyal
to President Kiir clashed with
troops supporting Mr Machar,
who ed to the bush and rallied
a huge rebel army.
The ghting has been marked
by widespread atrocities against
both members of the Nuer
people, to which Mr Machar
belongs, and Mr Kiirs Dinka
group, the single largest tribe.
Three ceasefire deals have
failed to stick, and peace talks
in luxury hotels in the Ethiopian
capital Addis Ababa have made
little progress.
Last month they halted
indefinitely, with both sides
refusing to attend the discus-
sions, and blaming each other
for the failure.
If we dont stop war many
of our people will continue to
die, Mr Kiir said, while insist-
ing he was still committed to
the talks.
Aid agencies have warned
that without massive funding,
famine zones will be declared
within weeks.
Mr Machar, speaking in the
Ethiopian capital, said he was
willing to resume talks.
We are here seeking a peace-
ful solution to this problem... we
are here ready to talk, he told
reporters.
But he also lashed out at the
tyranny of Kiirs government,
and calling for sanctions on the
leaders in Juba.
Under Kiir, our country wit-
nessed nothing but dictatorship,
anarchy, corruption, tribalism
and lack of development,
Mr Machar said. Mr Kiir also
thanked Ugandan President
Yoweri Museveni, who sent
troops into South Sudan to
prop up the government.
I will not order the Uganda
forces to leave South Sudan until
I am sure that we are safe and
our institutions are protected,
President Kiir told Mr Museveni,
who attended the celebrations.
The withdrawal of Ugandan
troops has previously been a
key demand of Machar for talks
to progress. The streets of the
capital were lined with banners
proclaiming One People, One
Nation, as the government of
President Kiir put on a show of
force with a military parade and
speeches intended to celebrate
the breakaway from the repres-
sive government in Khartoum.
Security was heavy at the
events, underscoring the bitter
divisions in the worlds youngest
nation where a nearly seven-
month-old civil war rages on.
Its a sad anniversary, admit-
ted Juba resident Gideon, 23,
saying he had hoped for better
three years on from the fanfare
and optimism that swept the
country in July 2011.
Aid group Oxfam says South
Sudan was currently Africas
worst crisis with nearly four
million a third of the countrys
population at risk of severe
hunger and an aid eort that
has only so far reached half of
those in need.
The worlds attention is
elsewhere as Africas worst hu-
manitarian catastrophe descends
into more misery.
We will be staring into the
abyss and fail to avert a famine
if funds do not start arriving
soon to help the people of South
Sudan at risk of starvation, dis-
ease and violence, said Winnie
Byanyima, Oxfam International
chief.
On the eve of the anniversary,
the departing UN representative
in South Sudan issued a scathing
attack on the countrys leaders,
calling them a self-serving elite
responsible for a looming man-
made famine.
Thousands and thousands
have been killed, said Ms Hilde
Johnson of the UN mission in
South Sudan, lashing out at
both the government and rebels,
warning that one of worlds least
developed nations has been set
back decades.
Leaders were sick with the
cancer of corruption with the
countrys billions of dollars
worth of oil a curse rather than
a blessing, she said. (AFP)

Renamo
accused of
inciting
violence
MAPUTO, Wednesday
Mozambican Prime Minister
Alberto Vaquina, today accused
some leaders of the main
opposition Renamo of inciting
violence in the country.
Addressing the countrys
parliament, the Assembly of
the Republic, Vaquina said
that they incited violence by
making statements which boost
violence.
Political parties must
contribute to maintaining law and
order, and not inciting violence,
he said when he was responding
questions from the three benches
in the house.
The address comes three days
after the Mozambican authorities
arrested Antonio Muchanga, the
spokesperson for the Renamo
leader Afonso Dhlakama.
Mr Muchanga is accused of
inciting violence and threats by
the former rebel movement that
it will divide the nation into two
north and south.
Muchanga was picked up by
police shortly after the end of a
meeting called by the President,
Armando Guebuza, to discuss the
countrys political and security
problems.
Mr Muchanga himself is a
member of the Council of State,
an advisory body to the President
of the Republic, whose members
are awarded immunity from
prosecution.
He was detained within
the presidential complex
after being stripped of his
immunity, as he was leaving a
meeting to discuss the current
political and military situation.
The whereabouts of Muchanga
are not known. (Xinhua)

Overview
Gross turnover increased by 4% during the six months to 30 June 2013. This increase reflects a 7% growth in domestic and export
volumes over the prior period as well as the impact of improved mix and pricing on domestic sales. These increases compensated for
lower cut rag (semi-processed leaf) exports over the period. Net Revenue remained stable at Shs 9 billion reflecting the higher turnover
offset by higher Excise and VAT.
Contribution to Government revenues in the form of Excise Duty, VAT and Corporation tax grew by 10% over the prior period to stand
at Shs 6.5 billion principally due to higher Excise Duty and VAT payments.
Profit before tax grew by 11% reflecting the impact of improved sales mix on domestic turnover as well as higher export sales. Profits
continue to be positively impacted by the underlying benefits of productivity savings on the cost of operations. Finance costs decreased
by 35% reflecting lower interest rates relative to the prior period.
We remain focussed on engaging the enforcement authorities and other relevant stakeholders in efforts to reduce the impact of illicit
trade in tobacco products and hence level the playing field in the Industry. These efforts coupled with a stable and optimal excise
regime will safeguard Government and Industry revenues on a sustainable basis.
The factory continues to serve as a regional manufacturing hub and we continue to commit substantial resources to enhance its
capabilities. The company remains vigilant on mitigating incremental costs of manufacture in order to sustain the cost competitiveness
of the Nairobi factory.

HARARE, Wednesday

A
Zimbabwe team of doctors and
nurses made history early this
month after successfully separat-
ing Siamese twins joined through their
lower chests and abdomen.
The twins born on April 22 this year
shared a liver. The eight-hour operation
was done at the Harare Childrens Hospi-
tal. The success story was showcased on
Tuesday where journalists were invited to
the hospital to see the twins who are still
recovering from the operation.
Doctor Bothwell Mbuwayesango, the
team leader, told journalists the operation
was the rst of its kind in Zimbabwes
history. We did not get any help from
outside the country and I would like to
thank everyone involved from specialists
to cleaners, he said. I want to tell the
nation that this work was done by Zim-
babweans and no individual can claim
success as this was team work.
The operation was successful and the
kids are now in the intensive care unit, they
look happy and their breathing is ne.
The parents of the twins, Agnes Mongoro
and Moses Chitiyo were elated about the
successful operation.
It was dicult at rst but after coun-
selling and information that there have
been such cases in the country, we put it
in Gods hands, Mrs Mongoro said.
Mr Chitiyo, a vendor, said initially it was
dicult to accept that his wife had given
birth to conjoined twins.
But from what I had seen in newspa-
pers and what I saw when I got there, our
babies looked better, he said.
Health and Child Care deputy minister
Paul Chimedza said the operation showed
that Zimbabwes medical sector had one of
the best professionals in the world.
This is something that the nation
should sit and take note of, that our pro-
fessionals can stand head-to-head with
other professionals across the world and
do exactly what they can do, he said.
We have Zimbabweans across the world
who are doing big things in Canada, United
States or Great Britain.

DAKAR, Wednesday
S
enegals outgoing Pre-
mier Madam Aminata
Tour, has expressed
fears about her safety and
written to President Macky
Sall appealing that her security
guards be maintained.
Following the hand-over
ceremony to her successor on
Tuesday, Ms Tours hardcore
paramilitary aide de camp were
withdrawn as we all as those
deployed to her private and
ocial residences.
Sengals leading online
Seneweb today reported
that the sacked premiers
fears were justifiable given
the fact that it was during her
mandate that several dignitar-
ies were arrested and are being
remanded ahead of trials.
The publication cited the
issue of the former presidents
son, Karim Wade and along
with over a dozen former sen-
ior government ocials held
in remand jails for swindling
public funds totalling over
US$5 billion.
Equally worrisome, the
source said, was the arrest and
imprisonment of a prominent
and inuential Islamic spiritual
guide, Bethio Thioune.
Mr Thioune, married to six
women, is being linked to the
killing of two of his followers.
He was jailed and subsequently
released temporarily on health
reasons and rearrested when
he returned from treatment in
France. The other high prole
arrest and detention under the
former Premiers mandate, was
the long-time renegade Chad-
ian dictator, Hissene Habre.
The AU-backed special court
has begun cross examining him
over the alleged assassination
of about 40,000 of his oppo-
nents and for torturing several
scores during his regime from
1982 to 1990.
While she was justice minis-
ter, Ms Tour had three body
guards assigned to her and sub-
sequently increased to seven
when she became premier.
She vowed to accelerate the
clampdown on corruption and
issues that undermine state
eectiveness when she took
oce.
The Seneweb publica-
tion today further quoted Ms
Tours condants as saying
that besides fearing reprisals
from sympathisers and sup-
porters of these individuals,
they were also anticipating
danger from extremist groups
within ruling party to which
the erudite jurist belongs.
The publication said several
of her former party supporters
have begun referring to her as
a traitor and accusing her of
siding with the opposition.

KHARTOUM, Wednesday
A Sudanese-Qatari summit con-
vened in Doha yesterday between
president Omar Hassan al-Bashir and
the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad
al-Thani has discussed bilateral rela-
tions and regional issues.
Doha hosted the Darfur peace talks
starting 2009 which ended with the
signing of a peace agreement between
Khartoum and the Liberation and Jus-
tice Movement (LJM) in 2011.
But major Darfuri rebel groups
refused to join.
The Qatari government has
conrmed its commitment to the
Darfur issue, especially with regards
to projects for stability of displaced
persons and refugees.
Sudans ambassador to Qatar,
Yasser Khidir, said that the outcome
of the talks between the two leaders
will manifest soon in the form of new
investments and economic projects,
as well as good news in relation to
the Sudanese labour force in Qatar.
The ambassador pointed out that
the timing of al-Bashirs visit conrms
that regional and political issues were
present in the bilateral talks.
Mr Khidir said that the ministers
accompanying President Bashir held
talks with their Qatari counterparts
on economic cooperation between the
two countries. (Sudan Tribune)

LONDON, Wednesday
Amnesty International has criti-
cised the decision of the African
Union to grant African leaders
immunity from prosecution for
genocide, war crimes and crimes
against humanity.
The London-based human rights
group described the decision as a
backward step in the ght against
impunity and a let-down for victims
of human rights abuses.
An ocial communiqu released
following the AU meeting at the end
of June said that African heads of
state and government had voted
to adopt an amendment granting
incumbent government leaders and
other senior ocials immunity from
prosecution in the African Court of
Justice and Human Rights.
Struggling for accountability
Amnesty Internationals Africa
Director Netsanet Belay said: At
a time when the African continent
is struggling to ensure that there is
accountability for serious human
rights violations and abuses, it is
impossible to justify this decision
which undermines the integrity of
the African Court of Justice and
Human Rights.
We are deeply disappointed that
African heads of state and govern-
ment have failed to provide the
leadership needed to ensure justice
for victims of crimes under interna-
tional law, opting instead to shield
themselves and future generations
and leaders from prosecution for
serious abuses.
This decision does not t with
the AUs own Constitutive Act and
the other international human
rights obligations and commit-
ments of its member states.
Those responsible for serious
human rights violations must face
justice, irrespective of their ocial
positions and the adoption of this
amendment is a backwards step in
the long battle for accountability
and human rights in Africa.

GAZA CITY, Wednesday
F
ifteen women and children
were among 22 Palestinians
killed in Israeli strikes on
Gaza today, hiking the overall death
toll to 43 in two days, the emergency
services said.
More than 370 people have been
wounded. Among the dead was at
least one militant, as well as nine
children and six women, emergency
services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra
told AFP.
It was not immediately clear
whether the other fatalities were
civilians or militants.
In at least four of the strikes, the
victims were all woman and children
ambulance service said.
During the afternoon, a missile
struck a house in Al-Maghazi, a beach-
side refugee camp near Deir al-Balah
in central Gaza, killing a mother and
her four children, Qudra said.
Earlier, another two women and
four children died in a series of raids
to the north and east of Gaza City.
Mohammed Aarif, 13, and his
brother, Amir, 12 were killed in an
air strike on Shejaiya, east of Gaza
City, while an attack in nearby Zeitun
district killed Amina Malaka, 27, and

Palin joins
impeach
Obama call
WASHINGTON, Wednesday
Sarah Palin called for President
Barack Obamas impeachment yes-
terday over his handling of a growing
immigration crisis, becoming the most
prominent right-wing US politician to
make the provocative demand.
The 2008 Republican vice presiden-
tial nominee wrote on conservative
website Breitbart that Obamas unse-
cured border crisis is the last straw, and
that lawmakers should evict him from
the White House, 30 months before his
scheduled departure.
Executive orders
Its time to impeach, Ms Palin wrote,
focusing on the presidents use of execu-
tive orders to ram through legal action
opposed by many Republicans.
President Obamas rewarding of
lawlessness, including his own, is
the foundational problem here, she
added.
Its not going to get better, and in
fact irreparable harm can be done in this
lame-duck term as he continues to make
up his own laws as he goes along. Ms
Palins remarks follow those of several
far-right Republican politicians who
have also demanded Obamas exit.
They include Senator James Inhofe,
who last year suggested Obama could
be impeached for an alleged White
House cover-up after the 2012 attack
in Benghazi, Libya that killed four
Americans. (AFP)

WASHINGTON, Wednesday
A
US government-funded
think tank has advised
the Ukrainian govern-
ment to engage in an all-out
war in the east, according to
a leaked document.
The condential document
prepared by the RAND Corpo-
ration provides three stages of
a military operation in eastern
Ukraine.
The adoption of the ad-
visable course of action by
President Petro Poroshenko
automatically means that peace
plan earlier conrmed by the
president himself fails.
RAND (Research and Devel-
opment) is a nonprot global
policy think tank formed to
offer research and analysis
to the United States armed
forces.
The rst stage of the plan
outlined in the two-page mem-
orandum implies total isolation
of the region considering that
all local citizens are terrorists
or sympathizers.
The pro-Russian region
should be encircled with troops
and sealed o entirely from any
ow of goods and persons.
Broadcasting services, Inter-
net connection, telephone and
mobile communications in the
region shall be shut down.
The second stage is named
Mop-up. Ground assaults shall
be preceded by air strikes
against the strategic facilities.
The use of non-conventional
arms is allowed.
The document also provides
for internment camps outside
the cleared settlements. Peo-
ple featuring traces of combat
engagement shall be tried in
court for terrorism.
Power supplies
During the third stage Back
to Normal power supplies and
communications shall be re-
stored. The borders shall be
strengthened to avoid possible
provocations. All the refugees
should be checked for possi-
ble support for separatists in
internment camps.
Special focus shall be made
on information security. All
foreign media shall be blocked
there, the action plan says.
Meanwhile, Russia said
today it had arrested a Ukrain-
ian helicopter navigator and
charged her over the deaths
of two Russian journalists in
an attack in eastern Ukraine
last month, prompting a furi-
ous reaction from Kiev.
Russian investigators said
Ms Nadiya Savchenko, one of
the few women serving in the
Ukrainian airforce, was an ac-
complice in what they claimed
was the deliberate murder of
the journalists.
Igor Kornelyuk and Anton
Voloshin, who worked for state
television channel Rossiya,
were killed on June 18 after
being hit with shrapnel during
an attack by Ukrainian forces
near the city of Lugansk.
Government forces have
been battling pro-Russian
rebels which seized govern-
ment buildings in eastern

ists were specically targeted
and has launched a probe into
their deaths. (AFP, Agencies)

Snowden applies to extend Russia stay
MOSCOW, Wednesday
Fugitive US intelligence
contractor Edward Snowden
has formally requested to stay
in Russia past July 31, when his
one-year asylum status expires,
his lawyer said today.
We have already filed
documents to extend his stay
in Russia, Anatoly Kucherena
told AFP.
Mr Kucherena did not say
for how long Snowden wanted
to extend his stay, which status
he was seeking or whether he
wishes to become a Russian
citizen. Mr Snowden has been
in Russia since ying in from
Hong King in June last year
after shaking up Americas in-
telligence establishment with a
series of leaks on mass surveil-
lance in the United States and
around the world.
Could not travel
He could not travel on from
Sheremetyevo however after
his passport was revoked,
and was holed up in its transit
zone for weeks before Moscow
granted him a one-year refugee
status.
Although he gradually in-
creased his media visibility by
giving several tightly-control-
led interviews, his life in Russia
is still a mystery and only a
series of reported sightings
seem to indicate that he re-
mains somewhere in or around
Moscow. He had applied for
asylum in other countries and
admitted that he would like to
go home, where he faces espio-
nage charges that could lead to
lengthy prison (AFP)
Both sides claim victory in tight Indonesia election
JAKARTA, Wednmesday
Both sides claimed victory
today in Indonesias tightest
and most divisive presiden-
tial election since the end of
authoritarian rule, as most un-
ocial tallies showed Jakarta
governor Joko Widodo lead-
ing over ex-general Prabowo
Subianto.
The standoff in the hotly
contested race to lead the
worlds third-biggest democ-
racy prompted President Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono to call for
restraint from both sides until
ocial results are announced
in two weeks time.
Mr Widodo, known by his
nickname Jokowi, is the rst
serious presidential contender
without roots in the era of
dictator Suharto. He has won
legions of fans due to his hum-
ble background and common
touch.
His popularity was clear
earlier in the day when hun-
dreds of screaming supporters
mobbed him and chanted his
name as he voted in central
Jakarta.
Prabowo, in contrast, was
head of the feared special
forces under Suharto, admit-
ted ordering the abduction of
democracy activists before the
dictators downfall in 1998 and
was formerly married to one of
Suhartos daughters.
He has nevertheless won
support by playing up his mili-
tary background, in a country
where many have a yearning
for a strong leader.
Unocial tallies
As a series of unocial tallies
from reliable polling agencies
started to show Widodo with a
lead of four to ve percentage
points, the smiling Jakarta gov-
ernor declared victory, anked
by members of his party.
This is a victory for all Indo-
nesian people, the 53-year-old
later told an evening rally of
flag-waving supporters at a
park in the capital.
History has been made
this is a new chapter for
Indonesia. Shortly after
Widodos declaration of victory,
however, Prabowo also claimed
to have won. The 62-year-old
said polling agencies followed
by his campaign team showed
that he and running mate Hatta
Rajasa have received the sup-
port and mandate from the
people of Indonesia. (AFP)

options of accessing two bundled
products that cover nancial, com-
munication, insurance and aordable

to a joint revenue account owned by
both Safaricom and KCB. The bulk
of communication revenue will go to

go to the bank.
KCB chief executive Joshua Oigara

It provides loans between Sh30,000
and Sh1 million depending on a rms
ability to repay.
Many small and medium enter-
prises do not know where to get loans
for a business, how to come up with
websites, where to get insurance or

nfrastructure contractor China Wu
Yi may be facing a ban from com-
peting for government contracts
amid allegations of misconduct in the
tender for the construction of a new
oil pipeline.
During a hearing of the National
Assemblys Energy Committee yes-
terday, the Kenya Pipeline Company
(KPC) said it was carrying out inves-
tigations into the manner in which
condential documents were leaked to
China Wu Yi during the procurement
process. KPC plans to institute crimi-
nal proceedings against whichever
party is found culpable.
That does not detract from the
fact that KPC still maintains the
prerogative to institute debarment
proceedings against that particular
bidder for engaging in practices con-
trary to the Act, said KPC senior legal
ocer, Ms Gloria Khafafa.
Submit request
Debarment is an action taken by
the Public Procurement Oversight Au-
thority to disqualify a company from
competing for government contracts
for a period of not less than ve years.
Any concerned individual or party can
submit a request to the PPOA to have
a supplier debarred.
In an interview following the
committee hearing, KPC managing
director Charles Tanui, conrmed
that the organisation was planning
to commence debarment proceedings
with the PPOA.
The documents in question were
produced by China Wu Yi during a
hearing before the Public Procure-
ment Administrative Board. The
company hoped that the documents
would support a bid to have KPC re-
view its decision to award the tender
to a competitor Zakhem Ltd.
However, the board found that
some of the papers had been leaked
without authorisation from KPC.
Another document appeared to be
either a forgery or not yet in its
nal form.
The board subsequently dismissed
the case and ordered KPC to carry
out investigations into the aair in
order to regain public condence in
the procurement process. The board
left the decision to pursue disbarment
to the discretion of KPC.
Bred controversy
One of the documents is a fax be-
tween KPC and one of its consultants
Seng Li Engineering and Construct-
ing Company.

nies that submitted bids to construct

In addition to three applications

However, rulings in all the instances
have been in favour of KPC.
Two parliamentary committees,
the Energy committee and the Pub-
lic Investments Committee (PIC),
are now investigating the manner
in which KPC awarded the tender
to Zakhem.
On Tuesday, PIC advised KPC to
halt work on the project until the
matter is resolved. Both commit-
tees have raised questions on the
speed with which KPC seems to
have reviewed tender documents
as well as Zakhems experience
and reputation.

of other large contracts including

construction of 22-storey complex
for the University of Nairobi and

enya has nearly doubled
electricity imports from
neighbouring Uganda to
plug a precarious supply decit oc-
casioned by reduced water levels in
key dams.
The western neighbour is presently
supplying 54 megawatts of electricity
up from 30MW during normal hy-
drology. Along with diesel, hydro and
thermal are the two leading sources
of electricity sources, with each
generating at least one third of the
requirements for the country.
The increased imports have been
necessitated by the need to continue
managing the situation due to low
hydrology levels resulting from the
failure of long rains.
Imports from Uganda have been
high in the month of May and June
to manage the low hydrology situa-
tion, said Mr John Mutua, Energy
Regulatory Commission director for
economic regulation.
The peak net import from Uganda
was about 54MW in May. It was re-
corded at about 42MW during peak,

New CBK rate to help tame interest rates
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
A bankers lobby yesterday
said implementation of the
Kenya Banks Reference Rate
would play a big role in low-
ering the current high cost
of credit.
Speaking at a workshop
organised by the Institute of
Certied Public Accountants to
discuss nancial deepening,
Kenya Bankers Association
CEO Habil Olaka said the new
rate is part of ongoing reforms
that would eventually bring
down interest rates.
KBRR will party address
the issue of the high cost
of credit. Interest rates will
come down eventually and it
will be through a combination
of measures being put across,
he said.
In its meeting on Tuesday,
Central Banks Monetary
Policy Committee set 9.13 per
cent as rate based on which
banks will set their interest
for loans extended to their
customers over the next six
months. It will be reviewed
bi-annually.
Banks will be allowed to put
a premium on the standard rate
factoring in an individual bor-
rowers risk prole and other
costs.
The development is part of
a bigger strategy to streamline
the whole nancial services
sector with a view to increase
availability of credit to the
private sector as the country
eyes a middle income status
by 2030.

Central Banks Monetary unit
set for loans

T
he government will know
the fate of its application
for a precautionary
loan from the International
Monetary Fund by the end of
this year.
The advance is meant to
cushion the economy against
external shocks such as a wid-
ening current account decit
which could result into a dete-
riorating exchange rate.
To mitigate this, the govern-
ment can access the borrowed
funds to shore up its foreign
exchange reserves and reverse
the trend, if need be.
A delegation team from
the fund which concluded its
mission to assess the countrys
economic performance yester-
day, is expected to present its
report for discussion to the
executive board in September
then make a follow up visit to
the country in October.
This, according to IMFs
resident representative to
Kenya Ragnar Gudmundsson,
constitutes the process before
a decision on the governments
application can be made.
On its return to Washing-
ton, the team will prepare a
sta report that is tentatively
scheduled for discussion by
the executive board in late
September. A follow up mission
is expected to come to Kenya in
October for deliberations with
the government.
Decision on application
We expect that a decision
on the application of a fund-
supported insurance-type
funding arrangement will be
made by the end of this year,
he said.
He spoke at the sidelines of
a press brieng by the team
at the end of 2014 Article IV
talks for Kenya. IMF carries
out annual such consultations
with its member states to as-
sess milestones in economic
development and special fund-
ing for needy nations.
The request to the IMF was
made in January by President
Uhuru Kenyatta during a visit
to Kenya by the IMF boss
Christine Lagarde.
My country needs an insur-
ance-type facility that can be
accessed as and when needed
with sufficient resources to
eectively deal with potential
shocks, said Mr Kenyatta.

Modern Precast Housing Plant in Kenya
Boleyn Magic Wall Panel Ltd.(BMWP) launches modern Precasting Plant in Kitengela Kenya. The project
consists of a Carousal Wall Panel Line and a line for Hollow-core flooring slab as well as a line for
columns and prestressed beams.
Building industrialization has been developed in Europe over 50 years. Precast wall panel or floor/
roofing slab is a construction product produced by casting concrete on a steel pallet in workshop which
is then cured in a controlled curing chamber, transported to the construction site and lifted into place for
installation.
The plant has annual production capacity of 50,000 units of affordable houses. BMWP produces wall
panel, half-slab and hollow-core slab for flooring and roofing, columns and prestressed beams. The
precast elements will be applied in construction of apartment, villa, office building, shopping mall,
school, hospital and highway bridge. BMWPanel shall contribute for 20-30% cost-saving and
construction period shortening 50-60%, said Mr. Jack Liu, the Managing Director of BMWP.
The plant is expected to commission in Dec. 2014 and will provide over 200 employment
opportunities.

NOTICE
The Chairman Embakasi Ranching Company Ltd Mr Samuel Mwangi Thuita, wishes
to thank the company members in Ruai for their unity and peaceful co-existence.
The chairman wishes to reiterate that all shareholders must follow the rules and
regulations of the company in order to avoid breaking the law.One must not put up a
house before getting clearance from the office as this will ensure that one does not
erect a house on a road reserve ,or on somebody elses plot.
The company wishes to eliminate double allocation once and for all and therefore
those seeking services should ensure that their plots are pointed out to them on the
ground only by the authorized surveyors of the company and not by bogus surveyors
or surveyors whose services were terminated by the company.
The chairman at the same time notifies plot owners that Mondays have been set
aside as the days for scrutiny and verification of papers and certificates from 8am
to 4pm.
Those plot owners whose certificates have not been signed at the back by the
surveyors and the chairman are requested to bring them to the office during office
hours for them to be signed.
At the same time the chairman reminds those selling or buying plots that all transfers
must be done at the company offices and not in the lawyers offices. Those who wish
to involve lawyers can come along with them to the company offices.
Those with different complaints regarding Plots are advised not to rush to courts
but to come to the company office for solutions because the company is the final
authority on Plots ownership.

AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
Both you and your partner need a positive vision
of the future to catalyze you both into action and
get you to feel motivated, The current planetary
alignment may encourage you to put your heads
together and create an idea that will have you
dancing on your seats with sheer excitement.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
The current astral alignment brings with it a need
for transformation in at least one aspect of your
relationship. If you have been with your partner
for some time, then you may need to introduce
some excitement into your daily routine in order
to liven it up a bit.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
Dont let the events of today scare you into
thinking that your relationship with someone
is over. The current astral conguration means
it may go through a crisis, but this is just an
opportunity in disguise. Make sure that you dont
slip into a mood of apathy and decide to go to
sleep instead.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
The current astral alignment means that it is
crucial that you talk about what you and your
partner are expecting out of your current
relationship. The combination of your energies
means that you can achieve more together than
you can alone, as you are so compatible.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Dont allow yourself to feel despondent about
the state of the relationship between you and
your loved one. The current astral energy means
that even though you may have to go through a
mini-crisis, it will be well worth it to clear the air
and get everything said that needs saying.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
The current planetary energy may give your
relationship just the boost it needs to revive it
from its current death throes. You have possibly
both been working overtime or been very busy
with family aairs, and this may have meant that
you have had little time for each other.
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
Your date may prove to be extraordinary, and
could bring you opportunities that you have
often dreamt of, but never believed could
happen. Your being with each other acts as a
kind of catalyst, and you seem to inspire .
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
TThe interplay of energies from the current
planetary conguration may make your romantic
life feel like it has suddenly moved into the fast
lane. If you are going out on a date, then be
prepared for things to move quickly, even if they
have tended to dawdle up until this point. .Your
only problem is worrying that too much passion
may ruin your make-up
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
It is up to you how you choose to play your
cards with your brand-new lover. The current
celestial conguration means you can blow hot
or cold,. But dont mistake this person for a fool,
as they are beginning to get wise as to the way
you work.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
The current planetary alignment indicates
that fortune is on your side when it comes
to romance. If you have been searching for
someone with whom you can share your life,
but had no success so far, then be prepared for
a surprise.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
It takes someone quite incredible to make you
drop your briefcase, take o your suit, undo your
neatly pinned hair, and allow yourself to relax for
a great night out. Yet this is exactly what could
happen with todays celestial energy.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
You have a chance to make one relationship
work more harmoniously than it has recently,
but you will have to put a little eort into it. You
may need to resolve one issue that has formed a
barrier to real communication between you.

pulled out of Tour de France yesterday after falling twice.

ARENBERY PORTE, Frace
D
efending champion Chris
Froome crashed out of the
Tour de France yesterday after
falling twice on a wet and treacherous
stage ve.
The second time, the 29-year-old was
visibly injured and was seen shaking his
head and holding his right arm before
climbing into a Sky team car.
That signalled the end of his attempt
to retain the yellow jersey he won in
Paris last year.
Britains Mark Cavendish had already
pulled out of the race after he dislo-
cated his right shoulder and suered
ligament damage in a crash near the
end of stage one, where Froome had
nished in sixth place
The last time a reigning champion
had been forced to abandon the Tour
was in 1980 when Frenchman Ber-
nard Hinault quit due to a knee injury,
although that wasnt from a crash.
In 1983, yellow jersey wearer Pascal
Simon was forced out several days
after a crash and he would never win
the Grand Boucle.
It topped o a nightmare two days
for the Kenyan-born Briton who also
came o his bike on Tuesdays fourth
stage. Television pictures missed his
two falls on a day in which numerous
riders crashed even before the feared
cobbled sections began.
Seen with ripped jersey
After his rst fall, Froome was seen
with ripped jersey and shorts down his
right hand side, trying to x a mechani-
cal problem by the side of the road.
Blood and grazing could also be seen
on his hip through a rip in his shorts.
His Sky teammates quickly dropped
back to pace him back up to the peloton.
He had begun the day with a splint to
protect his left wrist that was injured in
Tuesdays crash. But the second time
he went down, along with a teammate,
Froome looked visibly distressed.
He stood by the side of the road
holding his right arm across his body
and making no attempt to get up and
ride on. When he started shaking his
head, it was clear his race was over and
he was soon bundled into the safety of
a team car. (AFP)

Kilundo said the players are de-

Croatia and Mexico, Bulgaria, the
Czech Republic and Australia.
The tournament begins in Mexico
on July 25. Kenya has never won a
match on the global stage.
The feel-good factor is already in
camp and players are in good shape.
We are targeting a good run of results
as we look foward for our rst win

Elizabeth Wanyama said.
The team took a day off from

Long hitter Dismas Indiza red his
way to the top of the leader board
as the KCB Golf Tour second leg
entered its half way mark at Royal
Nairobi Golf Club yesterday.
The Mumias Sugar Golf Club pro-
fessional shot his second two under
par 70 for a two rounds total of four
under par 140.
He picked up four birdies at the
front nine against three bogeys, then
made a double-bogey at the par four-
12th hole but birdied the 13th, 14th
and 15th thereafter.
The greens were better today
compared to the rst round though I
made some bad putts, Indiza said.
He was joined at the top by
Nyanza Golf Clubs David Odhia-
mbo who also shot two under par
70 for 140.
I had a good chance of a lower
score but made some bad putts. But
the two under par was not so bad,
added Indiza.
Odhiambos round included three
birdies and a single bogey at the third
hole. Vet Labs Brian Njoroge was
just a shot o the leaders, also after
ring one under par 70.
Njoroge birdied twice at the out
ward nine and a similar number of
birdies at the back nine where he
however dropped two shots at the
11th and 16th.

Oh, how the mighty Selecao have fallen!
HISTORIC SHAME | Fluid Germans serve out an incomparable football lesson to the Samba Boys
I
nsults of varying vulgarity rained
from all sections of the Estadio
Mineirao. Rarely before in the his-
tory of the World Cup has the host
nation been abused, booed, taunted
and jeered by its own fans.
What happened when Brazil were
taught a historic and incomparable
football lesson by Germany on Tues-
day was unprecedented.
July 8, 2014 will go down as argu-
ably the darkest day in the sporting
history of this proud, beautiful land. It
is a night they will want to erase from
their memories quick, except that it
wont happen.
A 7-1 result is indelible; It is far
worse when your team is on the re-
ceiving end of it. Brazil will take a long
time to recover from their semi-nal
obliteration. This was a whitewash in a
sport they view as theirs, a game they
are renowned for globally.
July 16, 1950, when Uruguay stunned
Brazil before 200,000 fans at the
Maracana to win the World Cup, has
always been considered the lowest
moment in the countrys sport. The
horror of Mineirao puts 64 years of
Maracana hurt in the shade.
It was an evening when the Selecao
shamed their status as world footballs
most successful country, and they were
promptly joined by their fans who ex-
ceeded the acceptable boundaries of
sporting disappointment by disowning
their own team at the hour of need.
Unlimited brilliance
Germany were impeccable on the
night they reached their fourth nal
in the last eight editions of footballs
biggest competition. They will play
the winner from last nights second
semi-nal between Holland and Ar-
gentina.
The Germans may not play a bet-
ter World Cup semi-nal in the next
ve generations; that is how terric
they were. So credit is due to them.
Their unlimited brilliance should not
be overshadowed by the shambles that
Brazil were.
But the nights story was ultimately
the amorphous mess of Luis Felipe
Scolaris team. Brazil were hapless.
They neither defended nor attacked.
Their defence had more holes than a
ventilator. Skipper Thiago Silva, ruled
out through suspension, was sorely
missed. Dante, his replacement,
formed a horrendous partnership
with stand-in captain David Luiz. They
looked strangers on the pitch.

Full backs Marcelo and Maicon were
highways for Germanys rampant mid-

In mideld, Luiz Gustavo was an
accomplished asco. When he wasnt
conceding possession in dangerous
situations, he was gifting the ball to
technically superior opponents. Gus-

side went 5-0 down to goals from
Thomas Muller, Toni Kroos (2), Sami
Khedira and record-setting Miroslav
Klose, the number one enemy of the
fans became the team.
The boos of 57,000 strong crowd
of mostly Brazilian supporters the
Germans were hardly a tenth of the
capacity were targeted at the entire
national team in a very strange oc-
currence.
Yet the player who was at the receiving
end of most insults was Fred. He was
roundly vilied by the tens of thousands
of yellow shirts in the arena with jeers
and abuses, some of which were to vile
to be published.
Poor Fred. Like the rest of the team, he
was abysmal. He couldnt trap the ball,
lacked in movement and barely looked
capable of troubling Germany keeper
Manuel Neuer.
Deafening heckling
When his image appeared on the
stadiums giant screens after being sub-
stituted, there was a round of deafening
heckling. The opponent had long ceased
to be Germany. Brazilian players, hitherto
the pride of 200 million people, were
now villains.
By now some fans had seen
enough humiliation and
were hurrying for the exit.
Others were so disturbed
by the annihilation they
started ghting among
themselves. On more
than 10 occasions, sta-
dium stewards were
called upon to throw
out groups of fans
who were taking
the frustration out
on themselves.
This is the
worst night of
my life, a dis-
traught Scolari
would explain
later in the
post-match
press confer-
ence Brazil
had collec-
tively been
the epitome
of madness.
When the fans
werent taunting
Fred, they were
hurling insults at
President Dilmar
Rousse. It didnt
stop there. They
later on embraced the
Germany masterclass
and cheered them on to
a sixth and seventh goal,
both from substitute Andre
Schurrle.
The streets in Belo
Horizonte were somber.
When there was noise (as
I headed to the Rodoviara
Bus Station to connect to
Sao Paulo for yesterdays
semi-nal), it was further
abuses directed at Scolari,
Fred and Hulk.
The Brazilian inquest will
be hard and deep. Heads will
roll.

NOTEBOOK
STAYING POWER
Germans relish big
semi-nal victory
One hour after the historic
night on Tuesday, no Germany
fan was leaving the stadium. This
was their night after all. I left
the media tribune after an hour
to head to the stadium media
centre. I do not know what time
they left. But clearly they were in
no mood to leave the Estadio Mi-
neirao. They were chanting at the
top of their voices, to themselves.
They were not interested in going
anywhere. Probably they were as
stunned as Brazilian fans by what
they had just witnessed; It was
surreal.
FAST AND FURIOUS
Blink an eye and you
miss three quick goals
My neighbour and friend, Irish-
based Sudanese journalist Amin
Kheir, left to answer natures call
with Germany leading 1-0. He
returned to nd the scoreline at
4-1 and wondered: What hap-
pened? Such had been the one-
sided nature of the game that in a
space of four minutes, the score-
line had grown fourfold. He was
in disbelief. At least I saw the
other four goals of the match, he
remarked at full time. Next time,
Amin will no doubt wait until half
time. For Brazil, what happened
in Belo Horizonte will obviously
have ramications in the immedi-
ate and long term.
LANDMARK GOAL
Klose sets new goal
scoring record in Brazil
While the entire Germany team
made their way to the dressing
room after applauding their fans,
one man stayed on the pitch a lit-
tle longer. Miroslav Klose walked
back to the section where Ger-
man fans were (behind the posts
Manuel Neuer was keeping in
the rst half) to enjoy his special
night. In the tumult of Germanys
excellence and Brazils insipid-
ness, it was easy to forget that
Klose had become the highest
goalscorer in World Cup history.
With Germanys second goal on
the night, he surpassed Ronaldos
tally to reach 16 goals. There is
a view that coach Joachim Low
brought Klose, 36, to Brazil pur-
posely to break Ronaldos record.

After reaching a record eighth

Brazil may have played in all
tournaments since the inaugural
edition but their conquerors on
Tuesday night will be featuring
in an eighth World Cup nal on
Sunday at the Maracana. It is a
staggering achievement by all
standards. Some observers will
ask questions of when Germany

WHAT THE PRESS SAID
ITS A MIRACLE
Leading German daily Bild,
says: Boys, you are immortal!
German media savoured the na-
tional teams unprecedented 7-1
semi-nal victory over World Cup
hosts Brazil yesterday, describ-
ing the rout as a sensation and
a miracle and - even though the
nal is yet to come - its players as
immortal.
Top-selling Bild devoted six
of its eight main pages to the
match under the banner headline
Speechless!, summing up the
sense of disbelief at the scale of
the win.
A picture of jubilant two-goal
midelder Toni Kroos adorned
the front page. Boys, you are im-
mortal! read the gleeful column in
Bild, which thanked all the team by
name and coach Joachim Loew.
Germany will never forget this
July 8, 2014... Thanks for this mo-
ment of glory. Thanks that we
could experience it!
The paper dedicated a full page
to each of the ve German goals-
corers in their red and black strip.
Daily Die Welts website - the
victory was too late to make many
papers print editions - called the
match The Seventh Wonder of
Football.
It ran a picture of striker Miro-
slav Klose, 36, who netted once to
become the tournaments all-time
leading scorer with 16 goals.
In a country where, largely for
historical reasons, outbursts of na-
tional pride are rare, Germans did
not hesitate to treasure the win.
Despite heavy storms, re-
works rang out across Berlin after
each goal on Tuesday night and
after the nal whistle cars raced
through the city with honking
horns and German ags hanging
from the windows.
Commentary lled the airwaves,
with former players lining up to
speculate on whether the squad is
as good as the revered West Ger-
man World Cup winning teams of
1954 and 1974. The Germans also
won in 1990.
Germany hopes to go on to win
its fourth World Cup in Sundays
nal, which Chancellor Angela
Merkel, who is regularly welcomed
into the squads dressing room, is
expected to attend.
Looking ahead to that match,
the online edition of the Sueddeut-
sche Zeitung wrote O to Rio on
a High.
But some commentators
tempered the celebrations with
workmanlike reminders that the
event that will dene the teams
legacy is still to come.
If you win 7:1 you have done
everything right, former national
player Olaf Thon told Deutschland-
funk radio, adding the game would
be remembered as a game of the
century. However, he cautioned
not to take anything for granted:
But in the end what will count is
who wins the nal.
Meanwhile, Germany coach
Joachim Loew says his teams
clinical response to Brazilian emo-
tion laid the foundation of their
stunning victory.
Brazil had gone into the match
amid a mood of feverish national
expectation and strident rally-
ing cries to win for injured striker
Neymar. A hair-raising rendition of
the Brazilian national anthem saw
skipper David Luiz holding Ney-
mars No.10 shirt aloft in a gesture
of support.
They led away silently, looking away from the

E
ventually, you run out of ideas.
At 1-0, the yellow-clad popu-
lation of the Estadio Mineirao
groaned. A bloody nose, yes. But stick
some cotton in and suck it up.
At 2-0, there was incredulity. A
young lady in the stands raised her
hand, thumb in, digits extended over
her open mouth.
3-0 and 4-0 were one and the same.
Two stabs from Toni Kroos in the
space of 69 seconds, the fastest brace
in the history of the World Cup. Like
burning yourself on a hot stove and
then stubbing your toe when you jump
away in pain. Hurt and more hurt.
No time in between to react. But
afterward, it was deance. Chants of
Bra-sil! Bra-sil! Not lame but full-
throated, perhaps as a way of venting
anger at the players.
At 5-0, folks began to make their
way to the exits. Twenty-nine minutes
had passed. Read it again. TWENTY-
NINE. But people had seen enough. It
wasnt a majority, obviously, not even
a signicant plurality, but enough that
you would notice.
They led away silently, looking
away from the pitch, a yellow goo ooz-
ing toward the stairwells. Halftime was
predictable: boos and catcalls rained
down mercilessly and echoed in the
cavernous Mineirao. If before kicko
the grounds acoustics had amplied
the Brazilians sound, now -- after ve
goals -- it was a roar.
At 6-0, the wrath seemed focused
on one man. Fred, the mustachioed
centre-forward who for the past weeks
had ailed in carrying the torch passed
on by the legendary Selecao strikers of
yesteryear, from Ronaldo and Romario
all the way back to Pele and Arthur
Friedenreich.
In truth, the insults, expletives and
bile vomited in his direction had begun
at the start of the second half, perhaps
when the realization hit he was still
on the pitch.
They rose to a crescendo after
Andre Schurrle made it six, and Fred
laconically made way for Willian.
At 7-0, it was simple. They rose
as one and oered up an ovation.
Schurrles goal -- his second -- was
pretty, but it wasnt Diego Maradona-
against-England-in-1986 pretty. Were
they applauding him? The Germans?
Were they being sarcastic? Was it all
of the above? Or was this merely the
last possible reaction they could think
of, having exhausted all others?
By the time Oscar xed the nal
score at 7-1, there had been scues in
the stands (at least ve distinct ones
Germany and Brazil entered a twi-
light zone on Tuesday. One nation
emerged to nd itself 90 minutes
from becoming champion of the
world. The other has wounds
that wont heal for a long time
-- all among Brazil fans -- visible from
the press tribune).
There had also been a period of
oles at every German touch. Fans do
this when theyre well ahead, either to
celebrate their own sides supremacy
or to mock their opponents futility
(See? They nally strung two passes
together.). This was dierent.
It was perhaps as unprecedented
as a nation with ve stars above its
crest losing 7-1 at home in a World
Cup seminal. There is no script for
this. Its virgin territory for everyone
involved. You dont know how to react.
Luiz Felipe Scolari, looking as if he
had sailed with Charles Marlow into
the heart of darkness (only instead
of nding Kurtz, he found Kroos),
insisted afterward that life goes on.
Schemes and formations
It does. It just wont be the same.
We tried to do what we could, and
we did what we thought was best,
he said.
But in six or seven minutes, they
scored three or four goals (four in
six minutes actually, but you wouldnt
blame the shell-shocked Scolari for
getting it wrong), and they did it in an
extraordinary manner. It was one after
the other. We tried (from the bench) to
talk to them, to get them to stop for a
second, but we just could not.
In a situation such as this, you
wonder if its even worthwhile
talking about tactics. Schemes and
formations, after all, often mutate
after one goal, usually after two and,
well, when youre 5-0 down inside
the time it takes to watch a rerun of
Glee, there really is no such thing
anymore.
Scolari was devoid of his best
player, Neymar, and his captain and
defensive stalwart, Thiago Silva, but
to his credit, he didnt use the ab-
sences as an excuse. It would have
made no dierence, he said. What
was Neymar going to do?
Scolari tried to channel emotions
and turn a negative into a neutral or
maybe even a positive. David Luiz

BEHIND THE NUMBERS
Germanys remarkable opening half-
hour gave them a 5-0 lead against
Brazil and made history in a number
of ways -- as did Brazils defeat. A
look at the top facts from the game.
High-ying Germany
By scoring Germanys second goal,
Miroslav Klose became the most pro-
lic goal scorer in World Cup history.
Klose now has 16 World Cup goals in
his career, breaking a tie with Brazils
Ronaldo.
Germany scored ve goals in the rst
29 minutes, the fastest any team has
scored ve goals in any game in World
Cup history. Yugoslavia scored ve in 30
minutes against Zaire in 1974.
Germany are the rst team to score
ve goals in the rst half of any World
Cup game since Poland against Haiti
in 1974 (Yugoslavia scored six against
Zaire in the rst half one day earlier),
and the rst in a knockout-stage game
since Austria beat Switzerland in 1954.
Germanys seven goals broke a
record for most scored in a seminal,
previously at six, held by Uruguay and
Argentina in 1930, and West Germany
in 1954. No one had even scored ve in
a semi since Brazil beat France 5-2 in
1958.
The six-goal margin of victory also
broke the record of ve in World Cup
seminals.
Germany are now the all-time top
scoring team in World Cup history with
223 goals. They passed Brazil at 220 in
the rst half.
Germany have taken a 5-0 lead three
previous times in the World Cup --
against Saudi Arabia in 2002 (8-0 nal),
Mexico in 1978 (6-0) and Switzerland in
1966 (5-0).
Germany reached the World Cup nal
for the eighth time, more times than
any other country.
Thomas Muller is the 13th player to
score 10 career World Cup goals, and
the second player to score ve goals at
consecutive World Cups after Klose in
2002 and 2006.
Grounded Brazil
Brazils six-goal defeat equals their
worst loss in team history -- 6-0 to Uru-
guay in the 1920 Copa America.
Brazil had not allowed ve goals in
an entire World Cup since 1998. They
allowed four in ve matches in 2010,
two in ve matches in 2006, and four in
seven matches in 2002.
Brazil had never before trailed by
four goals in any World Cup match.
Thats 102 previous matches.
Brazil have allowed ve goals in o-
cial games just eight times -- six in 1940
or earlier, and twice in 1963. Six goals?
Not since 1940. Seven? Not since an 8-4
friendly defeat to Yugoslavia in 1934.
The previous worst defeats for a host
nation at a World Cup were by three
goals -- South Africas 3-0 loss to Uru-
guay in 2010, Mexicos 4-1 loss to Italy in
1970 and Swedens 5-2 loss to Brazil in
the 1958 nal.
Brazil lost at home in a competitive
match for the rst time since the 1975
Copa America to Peru -- a period of 63
games.
The last time Brazil lost a World Cup
match at home was the 1950 nal,
which caused the team to change its kit.

pitch, a yellow goo oozing toward the stairwells
Mineirao. If before kicko the grounds acoustics had amplied the Brazilians sound, now -- after ve goals -- it was a roar
and Julio Cesar held up the missing
talismans No. 10 jersey, and even the
mascots (player escorts, as Fifa like
to call them) sang their little lungs
out during a raucous rendition of the
Brazilian anthem.
Scolari had gone for the jugular,
with the same 4-2-3-1 formation hes
played throughout the tournament,
which many thought hed abandon
against the Germans. Little Bernard,
all 5-foot-5 of him, the hometown hero,
slotted into the wing, with Oscar shift-
ing inside while Fernandinho and the
returning Luiz Gustavo were ready
to do battle. There were moments in
the rst few minutes when it looked
like the old-style 4-2-4 Vicente Feola
might have used in 1958.
But that lasted until the rst Ger-
man goal in the 11th minute, when
David Luiz somehow lost Thomas
Muller in the penalty box and gifted
him the easiest of side-foot nishes
from a few yards out.
Everything was organized, eve-
rything was calm until the goal was
scored, Scolari said. Then everything
became disorganized, everything was
panicked.
For his part, Joachim Low oered
up the same formation that beat
France -- with Philipp Lahm tucked
in at right-back -- but with one crucial
tweak. When he saw Scolaris lineup,
he shifted Sami Khedira from his role
alongside Bastian Schweinsteiger in
front of the back four to one further
forward next to Kroos. A 4-2-3-1 be-
came 4-1-4-1 or, if you like your lingo,
from triangle up to triangle down.
Kroos-Khedira became a two-man
gang of outlaws plundering the Brazil-
ian passing lanes and scything their
way past the feeble yellow barriers.
They prompted the next four goals,
including the one that allowed Mi-
roslav Klose to become the all-time
leading scorer in World Cup history
by passing Ronaldos mark of 15.
They suddenly were not so well
organized, they were hitting long
balls, and we took advantage, Low
said. We hit them with fast counter-
attacks, and we knew that it would

ivided by a scoreline as wide

Brazilians united after the
World Cup hosts 7-1 humiliation in
writing the game into the history of

of football.
For Brazil, to whom global foot-
balling domination has been a way
to put its 200 million people on the
map, Tuesdays semi-nal trouncing
by Germany not only ended hopes
of erasing 64 years of pain from a

more devastatingly traumatic.

The Maracanazo was a joke.
For Germans, to whom football pro-

shame at 20th century horrors, it was
a moment to pour out collective joy
at a beautiful game and a miracle of
teamwork and application.

echoed the Miracle of Bern, 60 years

- a triumph that Germans saw as
marking their return to international
acceptance after Hitler.
Many also recalled it was 24 years
ago to the day when West Germany
won their third and last World Cup - an
event bathed in the euphoric afterglow
of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Victory in

UNDERDOGS BITE
After Germanys 7-1 rout of
hosts Brazil in Tuesdays semi-
nal in Belo Horizonte, here
is a selection of the biggest
World Cup upsets so far.
United States 1 England 0
(1950)
England arrived at their rst
World Cup nals appearance
hailed as potential winners
having lost just four times in
30 matches. Faced with a team
of part-timers, England selec-
tors rested star player Stanley
Matthews. It proved to be a
fatal error as with substitutes
not yet permitted Matthews
sat helplessly on the sidelines
and a goal by Haiti-born Joe
Gaetjens, who earned his keep
as a dishwasher upper in a res-
taurant, secured the Americans
a 1-0 win.
Uruguay 2 Brazil 1 (1950)
Hosts Brazil were drawing
1-1 and under the old format
were just 10 minutes from win-
ning their rst World Cup in
the Maracana. However, their
hopes and that of a nation
were dashed as Alcides Ghiggia
lashed in a shot to make it 2-1.
Despite there being 200,000
fans packed into the stadium
Ghiggia, who is now 87 and the
only member of the two teams
still alive, told AFP the crowd
were reduced to a great stun-
ning silence.
North Korea 1 Italy 0 (1966)
Pak Do-Ik entered World Cup
folklore by striking the only
goal of the game to secure the
hermit Stalinist state a remark-
able 1-0 victory over Italy in a
group match in the unglamor-
ous setting of Middlesbrough in
north-eastern England.
East Germany 1 West Ger-
many 0 (1974)
One of the most politically
charged matches in World Cup
history, with the Cold War rag-
ing and intense rivalry between
the two states reaching a peak
as West Germany hosted the
tournament. The two divided
since World War II fought
constantly for supremacy in
the sporting arena but this was
the most high prole meeting.
West Germany were packed
with household names but the
East Germans arrived boosted
by Magdeburgs Cup Winners
Cup victory. Striker Jurgen
Sparwasser scored the only
goal of the game and provoked
wild celebrations back in the
communist state. West Ger-
many, though, were to have
the last laugh as they went on
to win the trophy while East
Germany bowed out in the next
round.
Algeria 2 West Germany 1
(1982)
The North Africans were ap-
pearing in their rst World
Cup nals and were given little
chance against the reigning Eu-
ropean champions in the clash
in Spain. The German play-
ers thought it was done and
dusted. The over condence
of the Germans came back to
haunt them as the Algerians
prevailed 2-1 with Rabah Madjer
opening the scoring nine min-
utes into the second-half. The
Germans pulled level through
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge only
for a stunning move by the
Algerians to culminate in the
decisive goal by Lakhdar Bel-
loumi.
Cameroon 1 Argentina 0
(1990)
Argentina as defending
champions opened the 1990
tournament in Italy against a
Cameroon side that had few
recognised stars. However,
Francois Omam-Biyiks headed
goal, helped by an awful goal-
keeping error by Nery Pum-
pido, gave them an astonishing
1-0 win in a game that their
raw tackling saw them reduced
to nine men. We hate it when
European reporters ask us if we
eat monkeys and have a witch
doctor. We are real football
players and we proved this
tonight, said Biyik. Cameroon
exited the tournament in the
quarter-nals, heads held high.
Great World Cup shocks
LEADING SCORER
Five facts on Miroslav Klose
who became the leading all-
time goalscorer in World Cup
history with his 16th goal in the
7-1 mauling of hosts Brazil in
the semi-nal on Tuesday
Klose the model European
citizen
Born in Poland to a football-
ing father Josef and handball
international mother, he was
brought up in France till he
was eight-years-old, his father
played for Auxerre, then joined
his footballing father in Ger-
many where he had moved.
Klose said in an interview in
2008 he did not wish to be
known as either Polish or Ger-
man but as European. He and
his wife Sylvia instil same prin-
ciples in their two sons Noah
and Luan speaking to them
in Polish at home while they
speak German at school.
Lazio ultras leave him cold
Klose was less than amused
when at a Rome derby in 2011
between his present club Lazio
and AS Roma the fascist sec-
tion of fans who follow the
former brandished a banner
with his name on it and the in-
signia SS the elite and fanati-
cal military followers of Adolf
Hitler. Sport and politics are
two separate entities. I also feel
disgusted that my name should
be associated on the same ban-
ner as the SS, he said.
Benediction from Pope
Klose, a devout Roman Catho-
lic, achieved a dream of his to
meet the Pope personally when
he had a general audience with
the now retired German Pope
Benedict XVI in 2012 at the
Vatican.
Poles advances rebued
Poland did try to convince him
to play for the country of his
birth when then Polish coach
Jerzy Engel went to see him at
his club Kaiserslautern. How-
ever Klose declined the oer. I
have a German passport, and if
things are still running this way,

Klose puts his hands up
Klose made a rare sporting
gesture with regard to a goal
he was awarded for Lazio
against Napoli in September
2012. A scrappy eort saw the
nal touch come o the striker
and he celebrated but such was
the virulent reaction from the
Napoli players to the referee
giving the goal that the match
ocial thought something was
o.
He asked Klose and the Euro-
pean admitted the goal should
not stand as it had gone in o
his hand so the referee chalked
it o. Klose was congratulated
for his gesture by the Napoli
players.

cause them problems. The
game was over at halftime,
except for the record books that
would record Schurrles brace
and Oscars strike. (Dont call
it a consolation goal. Dont
you dare.)
Afterward, Luiz apologised in
a tearful television interview.
Oscar was a fountain of
tears too, alternately cuddled
by Silva, himself bawling, and
Schurrle, his club teammate.
Julio Cesar said that, in place
of this, he would much rather
have lost 1-0 while making the
mistake that cost his team the
game. That way, there would
only be one scapegoat. Instead,
there are many.
I am responsible, Scolari
said. I pick the team, I prepare
the team. Though if you ask
my players, they will also say
theyre responsible because
we are a team and we share
victories and defeats. But for
me, when I look at my life as
a player, a coach, a teacher ...
yes, it is the worst day of my
life. I will be remembered as the
man who lost 7-1 in Brazil in a
World Cup seminal.
Low was as magnanimous as
he could be, given the circum-
stances. After all, eight years
ago, as Jurgen Klinsmanns
assistant, he too saw his team
come up short as host nation
in a World Cup seminal.
Freakish situation
I know how Scolari feels, he
said. I remember 2006 and
losing to Italy and the disap-
pointment of a nation.
He was being kind. As gut-
wrenching as 2006 might have
been to Germany, giving up a
goal in the 119th minute of a
match is not the same as giv-
ing up ve within 30 minutes
and losing 7-1, after 39 years of
avoiding defeat in competitive
matches on home soil.
Low knows there isnt much
you can take from this game,
other than the result.
His men found themselves
in a freakish situation, they
kept their heads, and they ex-
ecuted. If hes concerned about
his troops being grounded and
not getting carried away, he
can take solace in the words
of Kroos.
For a minute, we had trouble
believing we were really 5-0 up,
he said. I mean, when do you
ever win a seminal 7-1?
But we have one more game
to go, he continued. Nobody
has ever become world cham-
pion in the seminals.
Those are the words of a
young man who knows what
he wants and knows how to get
it -- and theyre just what Low
wanted to hear. Germany and
Brazil entered a twilight zone
on Tuesday.
One nation emerged to nd
itself 90 minutes from becom-
ing champion of the world. The
other has wounds that wont
heal for a long time.

Belo Horizonte
G
ermany insist their only focus
is now on winning Sundays
World Cup final, with the
euphoria of their historic 7-1 semi-
final drubbing of Brazil quickly
forgotten.
Germany will face either the Neth-
erlands or Argentina in Sundays nal
at Rio de Janeiros Maracana Stadium,
which was their immediate concern in
the wake of their stunning semi-nal
win in Belo Horizonte.
The Selecao were put to the sword
by the Germans in the emotionally-
charged semi as they felt the loss of
injured superstar Neymar and sus-
pended captain Thiago Silva.
But the Germans quickly switched
their attention to Sundays nal as
they bid to end their countrys 24-year
wait for a fourth World Cup title.
We havent reached our goal yet,
we will put our foot to the oor once
again and put our heart and souls
into it to win this thing, said Tho-
mas Mueller, who scored Germanys
2000th international goal to kick-o
the rout.
We cant run away with ourselves,
just as it was said that we were n-
ished after the (last 16 win over)
Algeria, now well be praised to the
heavens.
Thats really the wrong approach
were really just a very good
team.
Germany will now travel to Rio for
their eighth World Cup nal having
avenged their 2-0 defeat to Brazil in
the 2002 nal in emphatic style.
Toni Kroos and Andre Schuerrle
both netted twice, while veteran Mi-
roslav Klose made history of his own
by scoring his 16th World Cup goal
to become the competitions all-time
sole top-scorer.
We played an unbelievable game
- respect, but another game is yet to
come, said man-of-the-match Kroos
as Brazil suered their worst interna-
tional defeat.
We have come here to be world
champions and were not there yet.
Whatever happens, there is a top
opponent ahead of us and we both
have a 50:50 chance.
Centre-back Mats Hummels said
the German dressing room in Belo
Horizonte was eerily quiet after the
nal whistle and there is a deter-
mination to realise the dream of a
fourth title.
It was astoundingly quiet in the
dressing room, but that was easy to
explain as we knew we had the game
won with an hour to play, not wishing
to sound arrogant, he said.
So there wasnt much emotion
after the nal whistle.
This is really something special,
especially when you think what each
individual has done. (AFP)

GLOATING
Germanys 7-1 thrashing of
Brazil in the World Cup semi-
nal was a hammer-blow
that has damaged the hosts
image around the world, Ar-
gentine great Diego Maradona
said.
The astonishing reverse was
Brazils record World Cup de-
feat, their rst loss at home
in 64 competitive matches
since 1975, and the rst time
they had lost by six goals in
any match since Uruguay beat
them 6-0 in the Copa America
in 1920.
I said Germany were better
than Brazil, I didnt like Brazil
from the start, but I didnt think
Germany were going to be so
imposing, so devastating, so
decisive, the former World Cup
winner said on a chat-show late
on Tuesday.
Brazil just didnt turn up and I
think the worst thing for Brazil
is that they gave an extremely
poor image. OK, Germany were
strong but the Brazil players
simply werent on the pitch.
Maradona knows what it is like
to be humiliated by Germany:
he managed Argentina at the
World Cup four years ago
where the Germans beat his
team 4-0 in the quarter-nals.
That, he argued on the Ven-
ezuelan-based TV network
Telesur, was dierent, because
Argentina fought harder and let
in three late goals rather than
capitulate from the start.
Im sorry because Brazil was
so proud of its team, they
wanted to reach the nal, but
football gives you these ham-
mer-blows, Maradona added.
Though respectful in his com-
ments on air, some media re-
ported that privately Maradona
was mocking the Brazilians,
who are Argentinas traditional
rivals.
Those reports said that just
before going on air, the always
controversial Maradona had
sung an Argentine fans song,
Brazil, how does it feel?, but
adapting the word siente
which means feel in Spanish for
siete which means seven.
On the programme, he criti-
cised how Brazils mideld and
defence seemed to melt away
at every German attack in the
game on Tuesday night at Belo
Horizontes Mineirao stadium
Brazil didnt stop anything in
the mideld, anyone could get
through. The defenders, Dante
and David Luiz, had no coordi-
nation, Maradona said. Dante
stood in for suspended captain
Thiago Silva while striker Ney-
mar was out inured.
It was like ve-a-side. You give
it to me, I give it you, and you
shoot, Maradona added of the
ease with which Germanys
strikers stroked the ball around
in the buildup to the goals.
Had Germany converted a
great chance, just prior to Bra-
zils consolation goal, and gone
8-0 up, it would have been a
global catastrophe, Maradona
said. The team suered from
not being in the South Ameri-
can qualiers with the experi-
ence that would have given,
he said.

P
olice ocers are now covered
by a new medical insurance
that ranges from Sh8 million
for juniors up to Sh200 million for
top commanders.
The scheme, which comes into ef-
fect this month, covers all ocers in
the 80,000-strong service, their wives
and children.
A constable, the lowest ranked of-
cer, has access to Sh8 million for
hospital bills in the event he/she is
admitted and up to Sh40,000 for
out-patient treatment.
Constables form the bulk of ocers
in the National Police Service.
The scheme comprises three cat-
egories.
The Blue Classic cover caters for
constables, corporals, sergeants, senior
sergeants and inspectors.
The Blue Plus cover is tailored for
chief inspectors, superintendents and
senior superintendents who will access
up to Sh80 million for in-patient treat-
ment and Sh100,000 for out-patient
care per person.
The Blue Lite scheme covers of-
ficers of assistant commissioner
rank and above who will have access
to Sh200 million for in-patient and
Sh150,000 per person for out-patient
treatment.
A document seen by the Nation on
the new scheme reads: Members of the
medical scheme are free to access any
medical outlet as per the attached list
whenever they and their dependants
are in need of medical services.
The insurance also covers dental and
optical services.
Heritage Insurance Company, which
was awarded the tender for the cover,
has entered into contracts with hos-
pitals, clinics and medical specialists
across the country to oer services to
the ocers.
According to the list of health facili-
ties on oer, top private hospitals that
would ordinarily be out of reach for of-
cers have now opened their doors.
National Police Service Commission
chairman Johnston Kavuludi said the
policy would be administered by the
Inspector-General of Police.
The arrangement also includes
personal accident and life insurance
cover introduced in October last year,
replacing the Sh5,000 risk allowance
paid every month.
Previously, officers were paid
monthly medical allowances and were
further insured under the general per-
sonal accident cover, which includes
all civil servants.
National Treasury Cabinet Secretary
Henry Rotich allocated Sh1.6 billion for
health in this years Budget.
The insurance scheme is long over-
due because the National Taskforce
on Police Reforms chaired by Mr
Justice (Rtd) Philip Ransley in 2009
envisioned it would be rolled out in
2010.

Rise of the

Land is a dwindling resource in
Kenya, and the eects of that
are all over town as ats elbow
out bungalows and maisonettes.
The result is a forest of highrise
structures that is no respecter of
aesthetics, leave alone zoning
Cement prices
could come down
Cement prices could come down
further following the doubling of the
production capacity of a planned
cement factory by Nigerian tycoon
Aliko Dangote. The upcoming Dangote
Cements estimated output has been
raised from 1.5 to three million tonnes
per annum, more than Kenyas top
producer, Bamburi Cement, which
has an annual capacity of 2.25 million
tonnes. Dangote has employed a
low-pricing strategy in Nigeria to
win over customers and could use
the same plan to get ahead of the
current producers. The company has a
limestone prospecting licence in Kitui
and is banking on increased demand
within the country and its neighbours
to market the cement. New players
in the industry like Savannah and
National Cement have seen prices of a
50kg bag come down from an average
Sh740 in 2008 to Sh650 currently.
Small rms to
get NCA loans
Individual plumbers,
electricians and small contractors
will access cheap loans of
up to Sh5 million from the
National Construction Authority
(NCA), which plans to set up
a contractors fund from the
proceeds of a controversial
construction levy.
The fund will be nanced
through a 0.5 per cent levy
imposed on all construction
work valued above Sh5 million.
The fund will be administered by
banks and will oer loans at an
interest rate between four and
six per cent. However, individuals
will have to register with NCA
rst. Contractors have already
been registered. The loans are
expected to benet those who
have been unable to raise enough
to bid for government contracts.

P
icture this: you move to a
quiet neighbourhood and
put up a nice bungalow.
Every morning you wake
up and sit in your small porch
as you watch the sun rise in the
horizon, and on weekends your
children join your neighbours to
race their bicycles to your common
gate and back.
Life is simple, cosy and peaceful.
The neighbourhood is sparsely
populated, safe and quiet; partly
because the zoning laws here
dictate that this is a residential
area, and partly because this is a
new estate that still has one or
two undeveloped plots.
Picture, also, waking up one
morning to watch the sun rise,
only to be confronted with the
ghastly sight of cranes and
earthmovers massing towards
one of the undeveloped 50-by-
100s. You rush out to ask what
is happening, whether they want
to tarmac the dusty road to your
ne little abode.
No, we are not tarmacking any
road, someone breaks the news to
you. We are planting a four-story
building here, and it will have 40
one- and two-bedroom units.
Hey, this is a residential zone!
you yell, and the contractor
informs you: Sir, your plot is a
residential, ours is a commercial
one. You can check with City Hall
if you doubt it.
Then the truth as it did the
residents of Gatongora, recently
renamed Greenfields, estate
along the Eastern bypass in
Ruiru hits you with the force
of 1,000 cement bags; your cosy
little neighbourhood is gone. In
a few months, 40 new families
will move here to share the dusty
little road, the drainage system,
the kiosk and the early morning
sun with you.
You will also probably only enjoy
the sun at mid-day, because the
new at will tower over your tiny
bungalow.
Now, that does not sound right,
but it is the new reality Kenyan
home owners are forced to face
every day. If you live in Nairobi,
Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru or
Eldoret, you most probably have
seen it happen, and watched
as helpless tenants try to save
whatever remains of the dignity
of their little homes as ats spring
up all around them.
But while the small home
owners think this is unacceptable,
a growing number of Kenyans
think this is the only way to go.
Land is fast becoming a scarce
commodity, and so, the thinking
goes, people must learn to share
whatever little of it they get. What
is the point of living in a ranch
alone when you can have 1,000
people sharing it with you?
Hannah Karanja is one such
person. She has lived the better
part of her years in Nairobis
Huruma slums, where she has
watched the mud hovels here
slowly transform into brick-and-
mortar aairs and, lately, one-oor
ats.
A few years ago, someone
came up with the bright idea of a
savings group that would use the
proceeds to build houses. Hannah
joined them, all the while hoping
to move from her mabati home to
a more decent one.
Within a few years, they bought
land from the Nairobi City Council
and started putting up their dream
homes. Naturally, and in keeping
with the new motto of up, up, up,
the structures rose more than
one oor.
Our team, called Muungano
wa Wanavijiji Self-Help Group,
had this marvellous idea of
uprgading our lives, says Hannah.
We started contributing Sh10
daily per person 14 years ago,
and when we eventually bought
the land from NCC, everyone
wanted a piece of it.
But it was just a small piece
of land, and so to accommodate
everyone here, they decided to
build one-story ats deep in the
Huruma slums. In the quest to
improve their living standards,
however, they forgot to look into
the future, and now that oversight
has come to haunt them.
Now, that does not sound right,
but it is the new reality Kenyan
home owners are forced to face
every day. If you live in Nairobi,
Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru or
Eldoret, you most probably have
seen it happen, and watched
as helpless tenants try to save
whatever remains of the dignity of
their little homes as ats gobble up

LOW-COST HOUSING
DEVELOPER Urbanis Africa
has started construction of 120
housing units at Kisaju in Isinya.
The houses, which are expected
to be completed in one and a half
years, are under Phase Three of
the Kisaju View Park Estate being
managed by the pan-African
housing development company.
Speaking during the ground-
breaking ceremony, Urbanis
Africa chief executive ocer
Cathy Achola-Warega said that
the company is investing Sh300
million in the project, which will
help meet the rising demand for
aordable houses in the country.
Forty houses will be
completed in six to eight months
time and the rest should be ready
in over a year, Ms Warega-Achola
said. The houses are standard
Type Two units, which come with
three bedrooms and a detached
domestic sta accommodation.
Each home will be serviced with
access roads, treated and puried
water, electricity and full storm/
sewer management.
Phases one and two,
comprising a total of 850 houses,
are complete and fully sold.
The current project will bring to
1,000 the total number of houses
constructed at Kisaju View Park
Estate, which covers part of 293
acres of prime land. The company
targets to build 2,040 houses
under the Kisaju View Park Estate
Development.
Ms Warega-Achola said houses
under the current project were
80 per cent sold o-plan at Sh2.8
million per unit and new buyers
will purchase at Sh3.5 million. She
said low-cost house buyers are
excluded from the Nairobi market,
which is why they are providing an
aordable option on the outskirts
of the city. House prices have
been on the increase as the cost
of land, labour and materials have
skyrocketed.
She urged the government to
nd ways of increasing access
to mortgages through reduced
interest rates and lobbying banks
to relax their conditions. Low-
cost houses are bought mostly
by people working in the informal
sector and yet their bank balances
are impressive and they do not
have pay slips, she said.
Urbanis Africa putting up
120 more units at Kisaju
COURTESY KISAJU VIEW PARK
This Kisaju View Park bungalow (also at the top) is going for
Sh3.95 million, minus the furniture.
Yes, we achieved our dreams,
says Hannah, but privacy, we
came to learn later, should have
been factored in the design of these
houses. My son is all grown up now,
yet he must pass through my room
to get to his. It is a sacrice I guess
I have to pay when space does not
allow for better.
Across the city in Langata, John
Syombua has an even bigger devil
to deal with. After many years of
peace, a four-oor structure sprung
from the ground next to his house.
Now he has to learn to live with it...
or ship out.
I just woke up one day to nd
building materials on the land next
to my compound, he remembers.
A few months later, the monster
was towering over my house.
John Syombuas problems
could be a pointer to the future of
property development in Kenya;
because, for a growing number
of real estate developers, the
only way to reap big from their
investments is to put up as many
units as possible on their parcels of
lland. And that, invariably, means
putting up ats.
Paul Musyoki, an urban planner,
says that, in the last 10 years,
the country has experienced a
tremendous change in the height
of buildings, especially in Nairobi
and Nakuru.
Maisonettes and bungalows
are being slowly kicked out of the
picture by highrise blocks, he says,
adding that the real estate industry,
just like others, is motivated by
prots.
Logically, you would make more
money if you put up a highrise
building that can accommodate
20 households or oces on a piece
of land that would ordinarily have
only one house, he says.
While the population keeps
growing, land does not, and that
means the value of any piece of
land in the country will forever
keep appreciating. The easier
way to address this problem, at
least for commercial developers,
is densification, which means
increasing the vertical height of
buildings to accommodate more
people per piece of land.
Musyoki adds that authorities
may not have a lot of control
over land, given the existing legal
framework, because most of the
land is privately owned, and so
owners determine what to do
with it.
According to The State Of
Development, a joint report by
the Kenya Property Development
Association (KPDA) and Hass
Consult, the increase in land rates
and building permits by the Nairobi
county government threatens to
disrupt the real estate sector as
it prompts entrepreneurs to buy
small pieces of land, culminating
in developing the little space
upwards.
To curb unplanned development,
some cities, including Nairobi,
resort to zoning certain areas.
Zoning involves placing land
uses in a group of spatial
conglomerations. For example,
Karen is a residential zone while
Upper Hill is commercial.
But even with zoning, it is not
possible to fully isolate land uses
which co-exist, says Musyoki. For
instance, there is no problem in
having a shopping mall in an
area that is exclusively zoned for
residential use mainly because the
mall will help complement the
residential developments.
That explains why there are no
industrial developments in Upper
Hill, although there might be a
number of commercial buildings
and oces in Karen.
Musyoki, however, says it is
important to adhere to zoning
laws as this is the only way a
developer would understand how
land is segregated. There are areas,
for instance, which are zoned for
multiple residential purposes, and
it is, therefore, okay to construct
flats here. But in areas zoned
as low-density residentials, one
should seek permission from the
authorities before constructing
a at.
Of course there are
considerations regarding zoning
laws. If such an application is
deemed appropriate, one can be
allowed to build a at even when
the area is for low density. That is
what is happening in Lavington,
Kileleshwa and several other
suburbs, he says.
However, there are many dangers
posed by such buildings, especially
if the massive investment in
constructing them is not matched
with a similar investment in
provision of infrastructure and
services.
If you put up a 35-floor
skyscraper, where will all the
sewerage and grey water be
channelled to? Where will all the
household waste be taken? How
will traffic in and out of these
blocks be managed? he asks.
According to a Kenya Open Data
Survey report released earlier this
year, approximately 3.14 million
people live in Nairobi currently. By
2020, the population is expected
to hit six million, and that means
the way for developers to go could
only be up.

Land scarcity gives rise to concrete jungles in major towns
If you put up a 35-oor skyscraper,
where will all the sewerage and
grey water be channelled to? Where
will all the household waste be taken?
How will trac in and out of these
blocks be managed?
Did you know....
ZONING LAWS specify the
areas where residential,
industrial, recreational or
commercial activities should
be conducted. For instance, an
R-1 residential zone allows only
single-family detached homes
as opposed to duplexes or
apartment complexes. On the
other hand, a C-1 commercial
zone may permit only certain
commercial or industrial uses
in one jurisdiction, but permit a
mix of housing and businesses
in another jurisdiction. While
zoning laws are universal, the
classications used vary from
one country to another. In
Kenya, unfortunately, a majority
of developers use short-cuts
and end up constructing without
the relevant approvals. It is
possible to ex the zoning laws
depending on availability of land
and other factors though, so do
not shout yourself hoarse next
time you see a at coming up
on that vacant plot next to your
swanky maisonette!

Several of the displaced Westgate Mall
tenants will soon be accommodated at
the Sarit Centre, where there are plans
to put up an extra oor. The oor, to be
constructed above the main car park, will
cost Sh200 million and will add 20,000
square feet to the malls 500,000 square
feet. It is expected to be complete within
a year. Built 30 years ago, Sarit has 130
tenants.
Equity Bank lets
go of HF shares
Equity Bank could be preparing
to compete more aggressively
on the mortgage front as it has
moved to dispose of its 24.76 per
cent stake in Housing Finance.
Recently, the Central Bank of
Kenya capped the maximum
stake that a bank can hold in a
nancial institution that is not
its subsidiary at 25 per cent,
eectively curtailing Equitys
inuence at HF. Britam, which
already holds 21.46 per cent in
the mortgage lender, is likely to
take over the stake, which would
see its shareholding rise to 46.22
per cent. Britam has already
served HFs board with a takeover
notice which, if accepted, will see
Equity earn about Sh2.2 billion, a
handsome return on the banks
seven-year investment in the
mortgage provider.
New levy has
Kidero worried
Nairobis plan to provide decent
housing for 60 per cent of its
residents could be dealt a serious
blow by the construction levy
recently introduced by Lands
Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu.
As a result. Nairobi Governor
Evans Kidero (left) has asked Ms
Ngilu to revoke the proposed 0.5
per cent levy to be charged on
the value of construction works
valued above Sh5 million, adding
that it will lead to investor ight.
Kidero says the levy has put
multi-billion construction projects,
including the Eastlands Urban
Renewal Project, at risk. In May,
the Governor signed agreements
with two Chinese companies to
build 55,000 housing units on land
owned by the county in Eastlands
under a Public Private Partnership
deal.

iconsofidentity
BY EVELYNE WANJIKU
cikueve_7@yahoo.fr
W
ith more
people now
able to
aord the
luxury of travelling, most
will choose places where
things are attractive and
interesting. There are few
monuments that dene
a place to the extent that
people will travel across
the world to see them.
Today, cities compete
to be the best at
something, whether it is
hosting events, attracting
investors and tourists, or
talent.
Several studies have
shown that social
oerings and aesthetics,
such as art, parks, and
green spaces, rank higher
than education, safety,
and the local economy
in determining a citys
attractiveness.
Thus the challenge
is for cities to brand
themselves in a way that
captures an international
audience. City icons are
embodiments of the spirit
of a place, and just one
of the powerful tools that
can be used to spread the
message about identity.
They form backdrops
for lms, postcards and
travel photos that are
sent around the world,
spreading the image of
the city.
Cities have gone
to great lengths to
commission the best
sculptors, raise funds,
and build structures that
show their genius in civic
and aesthetic matters,
and here we sample some
that have come to be city
brands, synonymous with
the cities in which they
are found.
While some were
not designed with
this intention, their
spontaneity in engaging
and imprinting in the
hearts and minds of
people, and the eorts of
the cities to market them,
has made them so.
Successful icons create
attachment and nd
themselves replicated
and put up in faraway
lands, becoming logo-like
ambassadors of a city.
Perhaps looking at
other city icons might
inspire Kenyan cities
to market themselves
through their icons,
and to stop their
neglect, inconsiderate
besmirchment with
posters and advertisement
bills, and propel our cities
to higher levels of global
recognition.
From Eiel Tower to Mombasa tusks, 10 icons that dene the worlds cities
Christ the
Redeemer
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Gracing the summit of
Mount Corcovado in Rio
de Janeiro, this statue
was designed by Brazilian
engineer Heitor da Silva Costa
and Sculpted by Polish-French
sculptor Paul Landowski. It
was completed in 1931.
Declared one of the seven
wonders of the world in
2007, the colossal statue
of Jesus Christ is the most
recognisable landmark of Rio
de Janeiro. It signies the
major faith of Brazil.
For the longest time, it was
the largest art deco sculpture
in the world, and the 5th
largest statue of Jesus Christ
in the world.
It is made of reinforced
concrete, clad in a mosaic of
soapstone tiles. Escalators
and panoramic elevators were
added in 2002; previously,
in order to reach the statue
itself, tourists climbed more
than 200 steps.
It is visible from nearly
anywhere in the city, and atop,
one catches wonderful views
of Sugar Loaf, Copacabana,
and Ipanema beaches.
Statue of
Liberty
New York, USA
The colossal copper statue
was Frances centennial gift to
the US. Its full name is Liberty
Enlightening the World.
It was designed by Frdric
Auguste Bartholdi as a
universal symbol of freedom
and democracy. Gustave Eiel,
the designer of Paris Eiel
tower, helped in designing
the massive iron pylon and
secondary skeletal framework
of the statue, which features
a woman robed in a stola, a
radiant crown and sandals
trampling a broken chain at
her feet.
She represents Libertas, the
Roman goddess of freedom.
On her right hand, she bears
a torch and on the left, a
tablet evoking the law upon
which is inscribed the date of
the American Declaration of
Independence, July 4, 1776.
Entering the US from the sea,
it was one of the rst glimpses
of the country for millions of
immigrants.
Funds for its construction
were raised in France and
the US through public drives,
lotteries, art exhibitions and
theatrical events. The statue
was constructed in France,
shipped in 214 crates, and
assembled on the already
completed pedestal.
The famous statue is
adored by many. Indeed, it
is one of the most replicated
statues worldwide, and can
be found in all corners of the
world, including in France,
Japan and China. It was
designated a Unesco World
Heritage Site in 1984.
The Tusks
Mombasa, Kenya
Graceful as a bough, the giant pairs of aluminium elephant tusks
stand at the head of the main thoroughfare in Mombasa as a welcome
to the city by the ocean. The initial tusks were made of canvas on
wooden frames, constructed in the councils engineering department
to commemorate the visit of Princess Margaret to Mombasa in 1956.
The idea of the tusks was suggested by the treasurer of the Mombasa
town council. The council later decided that they should be made a
permanent feature of the town, and were forthwith cast in aluminium.
It lls the heart with sorrow to see the eyesore created by local
residents who take to posting ugly advertising posters at the base of
the beautiful tusks.
Eiel Tower
Paris, France
The magic tower of the
City of Love supports the
image of Paris as the most
romantic city and attracts
visitors in droves, both by
day and night. They include
lovers who come to watch
the sunset, lovers making
their wedding proposals, and
others taking wedding photos.
The lush green grass on
which it stands compliments
the beauty of the tower as
water fountains spout rivulets
as clear as elemental diamond
to complete its allure, making
it the perfect backdrop for
romance.
One hundred years after
the French revolution, a
competition was called
for the design of an iron
monument. Out of 107 entries,
it was that of Gustave Eiel,
an entrepreneur; Maurice
Koechlin and Emile Nouguier,
both engineers; and Stephen
Sauvestre, an architect, that
was accepted.
This outstanding example
of metallic architecture was
constructed in two years,
1887 to 1889. It remained the
highest structure in the world
until the construction of New
Yorks Chrysler Building in
1930.
Its design and construction
were, however, faced with
opposition from various
sectors. The artistic
community of Paris, in a
letter of protest, said: We,
writers, painters, sculptors,
architects and passionate
devotees of the hitherto
untouched beauty of Paris,
protest with all our strength,
with all our indignation in
the name of slighted French
taste, against the erection
of this useless and monstrous
Eiel Tower. To bring our
arguments home, imagine for
a moment a giddy, ridiculous
tower dominating Paris like a
gigantic black smokestack.
Africa
Renaissance
Monument
Dakar, Senegal
Overlooking the Atlantic
Ocean is Africas tallest statue.
At 49 metres, its sheer size is
breathtaking. The bronze statue
lies on top of one of the twin hills
known as Collines des Mamelles.
The monument was
conceptualised by Senegals
former president Abdoulaye
Wade and designed by
Senegalese architect Pierre
Goudiaby as part of Wades
prestige projects aimed at
providing monuments to herald a
new era of African renaissance.
Construction began on April 3,
2008, and it was unveiled exactly
three years later.
The statue depicts a family,
seemingly emerging from the
earth. The man, with a face
tempered like steel, sweeps a
young woman on one side, and
on the other, holds a baby who
resolutely points to the horizon in
the exact direction of the statue
of Liberty in New York.
Symbolically, the man is
emerging from the era of slavery
and colonialism. The hand of the
woman pointing to the ground
and the baby pointing beyond
reminds Africans not to forget
their roots as they interact with
the new cultures of the people
beyond.
Like most works of public
sculpture, the statue attracted
its fair share of criticism.
The Muslim population in
Dakar complained about the
womans level of nudity, while
the local artists complained
about its construction by a
foreign rm, and the rest of the
population complained that
at approximately 23 million
Euros, the monument was too
expensive in a country where
many live below poverty level.

From Eiel Tower to Mombasa tusks, 10 icons that dene the worlds cities
iconsofidentity
The Little Mermaid
Copenhagen, Denmark
This small and unimposing bronze
statue, synonymous with Copenhagen,
depicts a mermaid seated on a huge
rock in a sombre mood, as if listening
to the drowsy murmur of the ocean at
the foot of her giant seat.
The Little Mermaids construction
was inspired by a fairytale by the same
name, written by acclaimed Danish
author, Hans Christian Andersen,
about a mermaid who gave up
everything to be united with a young,
handsome prince on land.
The sculpture was commissioned
by Danish brewer and heir to the
Carlsberg beer fortune, Carl Jacobsen,
as a gift to the City of Copenhagen.
It was designed by sculptor Edvard
Eriksen and unveiled on August 23,
1913.
The Little Mermaid statue was sent
to China to represent the country
at the 2010 World Expo. Over the
years, she has had her fair share of
bumps and bruises; she has suered
beheading attempts, had paint poured
over her and her hand cut o at
dierent times. She has been restored
after all the incidents.
Elizabeth Tower
London, UK
The tower, nicknamed Big Ben, is
more than a century old. It is located
at the north end of the Westminster
Palace and is the largest four-faced
chiming clock and the third-tallest
free-standing clock tower in the world.
It was named Elizabeth Tower to
honour the Diamond Jubilee year of
Queen Elizabeth II. Sadly, though,
despite being one of the worlds
most famous tourist attractions, the
interior of the tower is open only to
UK residents, who can arrange tours
through their member of parliament.
The tower has no lift, so visitors to the
interior must climb the 334 limestone
stairs to get to the top.
Manneken Pis
Brussels, Belgium
The bronze statue depicts a naked
little boy urinating into a fountains
basin. Little as he is, at 58cm, the
symbol of Brussels is famous around
the world and dates back to 1619. The
Manneken changes outts several
times and he currently has a collection
of over 900 suits, many of which have
been presented by visiting heads of
state and which can be viewed at the
Brussels Museum. His replicas can be
found in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.
Gate of India
New Delhi, India
It was originally known as the All-
India War Memorial. Its architectural
style is comparable to the Gateway
of India in Bombay, and the Arc de
Triomphe in Paris. It commemorates
the lives of Indian soldiers who died
in the First World War. Its image is
frequently imprinted on souvenir items
that wish to make the statement of
pride in the city of New Delhi. It was
designed by Edwin Lutyens, who was
also the main architect of New Delhi.
Merlion Statue
Singapore
The 8.6m lion with a body of a sh
and water gushing from its mouth was
designed in 1964 for the Singapore
Tourist Promotion Board (STPB). The
sh alludes to Singapores humble
origins as a shing village, and the
lion alludes to the name of the city,
Singapura, which means lion city in
Sanskrit. The Merlion image appears
frequently in STB-approved souvenirs.
There are ve other approved statues
of the Merlion in Singapore, and
replicas can be found in Japan, China
and USA.

T
he cold season is with
us again, and it seems
that we now spend every
moment seeking as much
warmth as possible. As unforgiving
and grey as the weather might be,
there are a couple of things that
can make the cold more bearable,
at least in your living space.
Hello sunshine
The two things that are in
short supply during this time
are light and warmth. Often, the
reason many people tend to feel
blue during the season is lack of
sunshine. Obviously, the living
room is one area that needs some
eort to ensure it does not look dull.
To brighten up your living room,
increase the amount of light you
allow in. Start by replacing your
ordinary blinds with the lightest
coloured blinds. Soft white is a
good choice as it imakes a room
look even lighter.
Next, double the amount of light
by using the tried and tested trick
of hanging a large mirror across
from the largest window in your
living room. It might seems
like a simple thing, but it works
wonders in increasing the amount
of light.
Last but not least, use as
much glass as you can to
further make the room look
airy, light and spacious. A
good way to use glass is to
re-decorate your coee table
with a couple of glass vases in
dierent sizes, as well as use a
glass plate to hold your favourite
books or a set of light-coloured
block candles.
Its in the detail
You dont have to raid your
local supermarket for accessories
suitable for the season. In fact,
you could use some of your old
accessories like blankets to make
your space warm and inviting. To
give your old woollen blankets a
small and inexpensive makeover,
you can have your tailor make a
border around the edges of the
blankets with black leather or
sude. You could extend the theme
further and upholster one or two of
your stools with goatskin to make
them much warmer to the touch.
Feet down
Nothing shocks the body faster
than the sensation of a cold oor
as you get out of a warm bed, so
invest in a pair of simple oriental
rugs for your master bedroom.
Place the rugs adjacent to the bed
so that they are the first thing
you step on when you get out of
bed. Do the same for your other
rooms; for your guest room, an
inexpensive but cozy sheepskin
rug should do the trick. For your
childrens rooms, you can use funky
and in-fashion chevron rugs in your
teens room and calming chocolate
rugs in your toddlers space.
Shades of red
Another way to warm your home
is a paint makeover. iI your have
the time and money to spare for a
wall painting project, you can use
the opportunity to use shades that
would make the room look even
warmer. Bold shades of red and
purple will make any room look
warm and inviting. Go a step
further and accessorize with shades
of navy and accents of gold to make
the room look even cozier.
Throwing things
Another easy way to make your
space warm this season (minus
high electricity bills from using
electric heaters) is to buy a couple
of throws. There are a lot of types
to choose from, a faux sude throw
would look very luxurious draped
over a queen or king size bed in
your master bedroom.
In other rooms, a grey or
mocha-coloured woollen throw
can complement almost any dcor
style. The beauty about throws is
that after the cold months, they
can be stored away to be used
another day.
The more the merrier
Cushions, I mean. If you are like
many Kenyan homeowners, then
you probably use only two pillows
on your bed. Granted, this seems
like a functional thing to do, but you
can add some style and comfort
to your bed by adding the number
of pillows and cushions. Keep it
spontaneous and mix a number
of cushions in dierent colours,
textures and shades. A good idea
would be to mix sequined cushions,
faux fur cushions, velvet- and satin-
covered cushions for an interesting
textile mix that would be good on
the eyes, as well as to the touch.
Simple
changes
like
getting
lighter
coloured
blinds
and using
mirrors
or adding
rugs and
throws will
keep the
dreariness
out of your
home

T
he Institution of Surveyors
of Kenya (ISK) has expressed
concern over interference in
the work of a mediation
committee appointed by the Ministry
of Lands to develop regulations and
propose amendments to three land
acts to operationalise.
It says interference in the work of
the committee, which was set up in
2012 to look into the Land Act (2012),
the Land Registration Act (2012)
and the National Land Commission
Act (2012) had caused unnecessary
delays.
The institution has observed
with great concern the beginning of
parallel eorts to amend the recently
enacted land laws by other interested
parties. This process, which has so
far been non-inclusive, does not
meet the constitutional threshold
as it contravenes Article 118 of
the Constitution, which requires
Parliament to facilitate public
participation and involvement in
the legislative and other business of
parliament and its committees, ISK
Chairman Paul Wambua said.
He added that some of the
amendments proposed in the parallel
eorts, such as the abolition of the
County Land Management Boards
(CLMBs), could negate the land
reform agenda as stipulated in the
Constitution and envisioned in the
National Land Policy, 2009.
He said the parallel efforts to
introduce other amendments have
not given the committee time to
complete its assignment.
Further delays
We in the land sector are concerned
that this is a duplication of eorts
and might cause further delay in the
process, Mr Wambua said.
It was anticipated that with the
regulations in place, various grey
areas in the Acts could be claried
through amendments.
We are, therefore, concerned
that two years down the line,
the committee is yet to
complete its assignment,
even with numerous calls for
it to conclude the same, he
added.
Mr Wambua said the current
efforts to amend land laws are
further likely to lengthen the process
indenitely, to the detriment of the
land reforms agenda in the country.
As an institution, it is our
considered opinion that the land
sector is critical for national
economic development and societal
well-being, and the current conicting
messages are not in any way helping
the achievement of the envisaged
land reform and vision 2030, Mr
Wambua said.
As a result, he said, the ISK
wanted:
1. The committee that has been
appointed should be allowed to
complete its mandate to nalise and
present to the MLHUD and NLC
the proposed rules and regulations
as well as proposed amendments to
the land laws. The committee should
fast-track this process to avoid any
further delays.
2. The MLHUD and NLC to urgently
conclude the process of developing
rules and regulations for the Land
Act 2012, Land Registration Act 2012,
and National Land Commission Act
2012, and have them presented to
Parliament for gazetting.
3. Parliament to ensure that there
are extensive consultations with all
the interested stakeholders in the land
sector with regard to any proposed
amendments, and also ensure that
any proposed amendments to the land
laws are in line with the Constitution
and should retain interests espoused
in the National Land Policy, 2009.
4. To remind all parties concerned
that the delays in the enactment of the
land law regulations and amendments
is coming at a great cost to our
economy due to bottlenecks created
during land transactions. We advise
that concerted eorts be made to
speedily conclude this process, which
touches every Kenyan citizen.
5. To see progress in other
land reform activities such as the
nalisation of the Community Land
Bill.
6. To call for wider consultations
when developing other land sector
legislations such as the Physical
Planning Bill.
Surveyors worried
that interference in
the groups work by
interested parties is
causing delays and
could be detrimental
to land laws in the
country

As Grandfather drank his porridge,
Grandmother carefully packed the pages, of the

her head and saw the men, women and young
people of Nyamira Kango going about their
business. Some drove herds of cattle to dierent

working on the land.The sun belaboured its way
up into the sky. It poured its warm rays on the

well as the unplanned ex-
penses that always seem to
pop up, can make any person
feel that saving to invest for
the future is an uphill battle,
if not a futile one.
The good news is, if fol-
lowed to the book, you will
nd ways to save money and
you will discover that a little
planning and sacricing will
pay o in the long run.
The rst thing you need
to do is to monitor what
you are currently spending
on a daily basis. With an ex-
penses diary, total up all your
expenses daily for a month
and compare this gure with
your monthly income.
The longer you can track
your expenditure, the better.
Acknowledge and document
everything you spend your
money on, no matter how
small it seems. This even-
tually helps you realise the
essential expenditures by
separating the needs from
the wants.
Once you have figured
out where your money is
going, ask yourself this: If
you saved just 1 per cent of
your income, how far would
you go eventually with your
nancial goals.
Unless you can nd ways
of raising your income, the
prudent approach would be
to learn to live within your
means. In this case, you need
to review all your expenses,
item by item, and try and
reduce or eliminate what you
can do without. This is the
part where you must learn to
make sacrices for a better
lifestyle and future.
If there are any savings
after the reductions, then
you need to look for av-
enues where you can save
and invest the funds so that
you can start taking steps
to improve your financial
wellbeing.
To pay yourself rst sim-
ply means that before you
pay your bills, before you do
anything else, you set aside
a portion of your income to
save and invest.
Decide how you want
your money to work for you.
Identify the long-term goals
you have for your money
and your life, and make sure
these goals line up with your
values.
Then focus your spending
so that it matches your
values. It comes down to
tting your spending with
your values; this will not
only improve your nancial
wellbeing, but will also re-
duce your stress and make
you healthier.

LETS GIVE CREDIT where its due!
The government did very well with the
Eurobond.
Although Kenya sought Sh176 billion
($2 billion) from international markets,
the Eurobond was oversubscribed to a
tune of Sh770 billion ($8.8 billion).
This is an indication of investor
condence in Kenya. Over 60 per cent
of these investors were Americans.
It was interesting to see the
international media splash articles on
this, giving them a rare challenge to
cover our country in positive light, after
the many articles on security concerns.
We have all taken journeys across
the country and seen many shopping
centres along the way. Have you
observed that many centres look
exactly the same way they did 30 years
ago?
Now think about your upcountry
shopping centre, how dierent is
it today from the days you were in
primary school when you visited that
local shopkeeper?
Would you term more burglar-
proofed premises in the centre a sign
of insecurity or better protection of
business premises?
If the wooden doors with Tricircle
padlocks remain, would you see that
as a secure locality or little trading and
insucient funds to secure business
premises?
Or perhaps an indication that the
stocks in that shop are not worth too
much security. The point here is, we get
more sophisticated as time goes. And
crime is getting more sophisticated as
we progress.
What about our law enforcement?
Back to our topic, the government
has said that with the Eurobond funds
already with the Treasury, they will
borrow less from the domestic market,
leaving the banks with no choice but to
lower interest rates to attract consumer
borrowers.
I like the strategy but I am not
certain the banks will respond with
equal enthusiasm. I dont see many
of them ready to report less growth
in their protability as a result of this
market change.
Even if the Central Bank of Kenya
announces the Kenya Banks Reference
Rate (KBRR) and encourages full
disclosure of bank charges through
introduction of an annual percentage
rate (APR), I have the feeling that it
is time to bring the Kenya Bankers
Association on board for dialogue.
The government is hoping to get
as many business people as possible
to ock to banks when we have some
money decits. Assuming the money
becomes available with a relatively
good response from the banking
sector, the question is, how many
business people will show similar
condence as the Eurobond investors
and ock to the bank for working
capital, asset nance and mortgages?
We all want to expand and
grow our businesses with nancial
resources readily at hand. The
business community may be open to
a reduction of the interest rates on
loans but the business environment
is not compounded by many other
challenges, such as insecurity.
The commitments in the national
budget with regard to internal security
were, in my opinion, rather decent. We
now need streamlining of the insurance
industry. We need to know that
policies acquired will be settled without
drama as they put it.
SMEs are the only hope for
expanding the economy and creating
employment opportunities. We need
to be able to transfer many of the
risks now compounding the business
environment to a highly dependable
insurance sector.
We now wait to see lower interest
rates beginning to shape up.

ON MAY 23 this year, I saw a phone sale
advert on Page 15 of the Daily Nation and
went to a Safaricom shop in Kisii to buy
the phone.
After payment, l was advised that the
phones gear-t was not available and that
Safaricom would contact me through my
cellphone to go and pick it.
After waiting for a week, l went to inquire
about the gear-t but the sales woman told
me to wait for them to deal with the author-
ised dealers.
On May 28, l called a Samsung oce
through a number I found on one of their
information items.
The person l talked to told me to go
to the Kisii Safaricom oce and pick the
gear-t.
Unfortunately, up to now I have not suc-
ceeded. My question is, when will l get this
gear-t, or was the advertisement mislead-
ing? Esther Manoti
Hello Esther
We appreciate your eorts to con-
tact us with this query.
We got in touch with Safaricom on
the issue and we thank the telecom-
munications firm for its prompt
response.
According to Safaricom, Samsung
had put up a press advert to the
eect that all customers who buy
Samsung S5 from authorised dealers
would receive free gear-t kit.
This had, however, not been com-
municated to Safaricom, who were
also in the process of preparing a
sign-o for a similar oer with Sam-
sung.
At the time, the company did not
have the free gear-t kit in stock.
The company has noted that it has
been in communication with you on
this matter and notied you of the
outcome.
It has also apologised for any in-
conveniences caused by this delay.
The rm has also asked you to go
to its Kisii shop and be issued with
a gear-t kit.
I must, rst of all, thank you for helping
powerless and desperate Kenyans. Being
one of them, I trust you will assist me, too.
I left Mini Bakeries in 2003, in a capac-
ity of mechanic, working in the branch on
Kangundo Road (Dandora II).
The management told me to wait for my
nal dues to be cleared by Jubilee Insur-
ance and to collect my cheque within a
few days.
Unfortunately, I happened to be out of
the country for a couple of years. When I
came back in 2008, I went to the company
to collect my cheque but was informed that
it had expired.
I told the person who was serving me to
give me the cheque so that I could claim my
money from Jubilee Insurance, but he said
he would follow up the matter and get in
touch with me later.
I was told that the process would take
about three weeks. I went back after two
months to follow up.
I was told that the cheque was not
ready.
I have been calling them for the past four
years or so without success.
Please help me get my cheque, plus in-
terest, for all those years.
Benson Njuguna
Hello Njuguna, we appreciate your
kind words and the move to contact
us on this matter.
We got in touch with Jubilee Insur-
ance on the issue and we appreciate
the professionalism displayed when
dealing with queries raised with
them.
In its response, the underwriter
noted that the Retirement Benets
Act requires that when a member
provides notice, his benets are set-
tled within 30 days.
It hence noted that it upheld this
requirement in 2003 when it settled
your claim.
In addition, the replacement
cheque was done and sent back to
Mini Bakeries. The standard proce-
dure, after dispatch of the payment,
is for the company to contact the
member and request that they pick
the cheque.
The board of trustees determines
the process of settlement, and usu-
ally cheques are released from ones
former place of work, as this is more
convenient.
Jubilee Insurance regrets that you
were not able to get your replacement
cheque after the rst one went stale.
The insurance rm welcomes you
to its Jubilee House headquarters for
further assistance and follow up.
Kindly heed this and visit them.
They request that you furnish them
with ample information about this
matter to help them settle it amica-
bly.

WITH MANY job advertisements calling
for good team players (as discussed last
week), let us now look at what it takes
to play a good role in a team to ensure
smooth running of the duties assigned.
In a team, everyone is expected to play
their role eectively, so that they do not
frustrate the process of accomplishing a
task or mess up the whole process.
Coexistence: This is very important when
dealing with a team. In a group setting,
you expect to work with dierent people
who have dierent ideas and opinions of
how to go about a certain issue.
How do you handle all these suggestions
without being stubborn or easily swayed
by other peoples opinions and ideas?
The quickest way to kill an idea is to say
the following: This wont work, this is not
practical, it has already been done, what
were you thinking?
This does not sound encouraging, you
will end up demotivating your team mates
and, at the same time, cause unnecessary
friction within the group.
Being polite is essential. If someone, for
instance, comes to you with an idea, you
should look at it from a positive angle.
Start with something like this, what I like
about your idea is that this shows how
much you value other peoples opinions
and that you, at least, considered their
opinion even if you will NOT do things their
way at the end of the day.
Communicate productively: Communica-
tion is vital in any relationship. Eective
communication is very useful when it comes
to dealing with team players. Team players
need to express their thoughts, ideas and
opinions openly, directly, decently, and with
respect for other people.
Be good listeners: Good listeners are vital
for teams to function eciently. Teams
need players who can absorb, comprehend,
and consider ideas and opinions from other
people within and without the team without
debating and arguing about every point. It
creates an environment of value on each
team player, knowing that their contribu-
tion is as important as that of any other
member.
Do your part: Do what is expected of you.
Do not be the burden in a team. Do not
make it hard for them to nish the duties
assigned in time. When you do your part
and everyone else does theirs, the job gets
done. An ecient team leads to smooth
running of a business.
Be open: When you are stuck, ask for help.
Nobody knows everything.
Do not suer in silence; be open, talk
your heart out as long as it is polite and
respectful. This will allow people to know
how to handle you and to understand what
you like or do not like. It also ensures that
people do not step on your toes, whether
willingly or not. Yvonne Kawira

You have been thinking deeply
about that proposed business project,
or that undertaking that you have been
planning to launch.
You have thought the matter over,
not once, not twice but countless times,
even making it a New Year resolution.
Perhaps, you plan to actualise the
idea in the coming year when you get
more money, or after you have saved
enough.
At times, you think you are too young
to do anything new or risky, and that
you should wait until you hit 30, 40, 50
when youll be much older, wiser and
retired.
Nearly everyone, from the most suc-
cessful entrepreneurs to academics,
have had such experiences. Many have
kept on procrastinating, perhaps until it
gets too late or they lose steam.
Everyone experiences procras-
tination mostly out of fear of the
unknown, says Afrika Investment
Bank (AIB) chief executive ocer Paul
Mwai.
He says it is part of peoples character
and also aects established or prospec-
tive investors, especially those who are
not focussed enough to actualise the
planned tasks.
Mr Isaac Kigen, a lecturer on entre-
preneurship at Strathmore Business
School (SBS), says many people pro-
crastinate because it is a psychological
issue, one that they fail to tackle or
overcome.
He says delaying or procrastinating
on any undertaking is a bad habit that
haunts everyone.
This could partly be due to failure
to plan properly or to take risks, even
if the idea being planned for is worth
the risk.
This has kept many people, especially
potential entrepreneurs, from making
the big leap of faith and investing in a
new venture that could not only gener-
ate income for them but create employ-
ment opportunities.
The other reason is fear of the un-
known. You fear to take up the challenge.
That fear is fostered by the opinions of
the people you interact with. These may
be family members, friends and those
that you hang around, he says.
Mr Lee Karuri, an entrepreneur and
chairman of listed property rm, Home
Afrika, outlines three reasons why peo-
ple procrastinate.
The rst reason has to do with un-
certainties of the future. Many people,
even when they have made a decision
to proceed on a certain course, feel
insecure, are unsure of the future and
are not condent that they will succeed,
he says, adding: Courage to proceed is
sometimes absent.
It is important to have the courage
to move on. This is one area that an
entrepreneur needs to build on as part
of their value system, he says.
In an interview with Money this week,
he said the second issue regards the
potential risk the prospective entrepre-
neur faces. He added that one may look
at the proposed undertaking or venture
and the potential losses and feel that the
risk is too much against the opportunity
of enterprise.
He said that it is in this area that suc-
cesful businesses are transacted. One
needs to have the ability to look at the
opportunity and mitigate the risks.
It is the ability to see that the oppor-
tunity is greater than the risks involved.
Each time you look at the risk and nd
that the risk is too small and the oppor-
tunity is also too small, you are unlikely
to proceed, he said.

The third issue is nances. Many
times, prospective entrepreneurs dont
know where to begin, especially in light
of insucient savings, capital or bank
credit to nance their enterprise.
Financing an enterprise is a huge
challenge. Many potential entrepre-
neurs dont have enough start-up
capital. But it is good to start small,
sometimes with just an idea, if su-
cient capital is lacking, he said.
Even as an established entrepreneur,
Mr Karuri agrees that he has also on
several occasions had to postpone
some key business ideas.
The reason he gives is that there are
times when its usually good to step
back and evaluate business ideas rather
than just move ahead with them.
Mr Mwai argues that people who
are averse to risk tend to procrastinate
more, as opposed to those who have a
high appetite for risk.
He, however, says prospective en-
trepreneurs can overcome procrasti-
nation by doing sucient research on
their planned undertakings and staying
focussed on specic goals.
Do a lot of research, focus on spe-
cic tasks at a time and set specic
goals, Mr Mwai says.
According to Getentrepreneurial.com,
not all kinds of procrastina-
tion are bad or problematic.
This is because there are valid
reasons why some people hesitate or
delay to take action, and one of them
is the need for information or clarity to
help them make the right decision.
While it might appear as if youre
dragging your feet, rushing forward
impulsively or without the information
you really need to proceed can cost you
time, money, and energy.
If youre the type that tends to make
emotional decisions that you later re-
gret, having some boundaries such
as waiting 24 hours before saying Yes
to a business project can be empow-
ering, says Getentrepreneurial.com
Questions that procrastinators can
ask themselves include: Is this the
right time for that goal, intention or
desire to happen?
Is this something you really want?
Do you have the time, structures and
capacity to handle the extra business
and clients?
Ms Christine Hassler, an author, life
coach and entrepreneur, says in her
blog, Christinehassler.com procras-
tination is a thief of productivity and
passion, although everybody does it.
And we temporarily enjoy it because
we usually ll it with something frivo-
lous that feels rather indulgent. Yet, at
the same time, we feel guilty because
we know something is hanging over
our head, she says.
She outlines seven steps that can
help procrastinators overcome fear and
just do it.
These include identifying the cost
and payo of the procrastination, ask-
ing oneself what would be dierent
if one stopped procrastinating and
accomplished the specic task and
scheduling time and commitment to
get the tasks done.
She says one can opt to celebrate
or reward themselves after the payo
attained from completion of the task
that could otherwise have been pro-
crastinated.

He, however, says prospective en-
trepreneurs can overcome procrasti-
nation by doing sucient research on
their planned undertakings and staying
focussed on specic goals.
Do a lot of research, focus on spe-
cic tasks at a time and set specic
goals, Mr Mwai says.
According to Getentrepreneurial.com,
not all kinds of procrastina-
tion are bad or problematic.
This is because there are valid
reasons why some people hesitate or
delay to take action, and one of them
is the need for information or clarity to
help them make the right decision.
While it might appear as if youre
dragging your feet, rushing forward
impulsively or without the information
you really need to proceed can cost you
time, money, and energy.
If youre the type that tends to make
emotional decisions that you later re-
gret, having some boundaries such
as waiting 24 hours before saying Yes
to a business project can be empow-
ering, says Getentrepreneurial.com
Questions that procrastinators can
ask themselves include: Is this the
right time for that goal, intention or
desire to happen?
Is this something you really want?
Do you have the time, structures and
capacity to handle the extra business
and clients?
Ms Christine Hassler, an author, life
coach and entrepreneur, says in her
blog, Christinehassler.com procras-
tination is a thief of productivity and
passion, although everybody does it.
And we temporarily enjoy it because
we usually ll it with something frivo-
lous that feels rather indulgent. Yet, at
the same time, we feel guilty because
we know something is hanging over
our head, she says.
She outlines seven steps that can
help procrastinators overcome fear and
just do it.
These include identifying the cost
and payo of the procrastination, ask-
ing oneself what would be dierent
if one stopped procrastinating and
accomplished the specic task and
scheduling time and commitment to
get the tasks done.
She says one can opt to celebrate
or reward themselves after the payo
attained from completion of the task
that could otherwise have been pro-
crastinated.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT PATRICK WAMEYO
Verbalise your idea then go out and create it
THIS WEEK, I want to repeat to my fellow
Christians, and indeed people of all faiths,
that if they just lived each day as the Bible in-
structs, both the weak and the strong among
them would pull up from any manner of
poverty to riches and wealth.
Incidentally, there are millions of
people who never read the Bible, but
whose cultures, and consequently
their beliefs and values, practise the
things envisaged in the Bible.
God is fair and has blessed the
work of their hands.
The Bible outlines conditions for
wealth, right from the book of Gen-
esis, as obedience to the covenants
the story of Cain and Abel, through
to the covenant with Noah (Gen 8:22).
Noah was promised that as long as the
earth perseveres, there shall be sea-
sons: winter, summer, planting and harvesting
times.
First is the implied patience. Secondly, the
underlying condition is the same if you
obey.
The same condition was repeated in the
covenant with Moses, David and in all the
other Old Testament covenants. Obedience
espouses saying and doing.
There is more than one way of praying. The
obvious practice is to go down on your knees
and speak to your Creator practised literally
everywhere in the world by people from dif-
ferent faiths, including non-Christians.
Its inherent weakness is that one can do the
exact opposite of their intentions and prayer,
just a minute after verbalising ones prayer.
A less obvious method and a necessary ad-
dition, the preserve of the more disciplined
people, is the doing by those who obey
putting into practise your faith every day.
These people have a dierent mindset and
their beliefs are engraved enough in them to
drive them. They believe, verbalise their be-
liefs and do it.
They are faithful people who have never
been to a church or read the Bible, but whose
life expresses the beliefs in the Bible.
Proverbs 12:14 and 13:2 say (New King
James version), A man shall eat well by the
fruit of his mouth, but the soul of the unfaith-
ful feeds on violence.
Verbalise your idea, make it known to the
world and go out every day to create it.
Modern management science has renamed
this as vision, goals and tasks. Wealth is an
idea in practise.

Housing Finance: Last week, we
told you to hold on to Housing Fi-
nance, if you had bought the stock at
around Sh38 a share a fortnight ago.
The recommendation came as the
counter gained momentum for an up-
ward surge. On Monday last week, the
counter climbed up Sh6 to trade at an
average Sh44.
In Tuesdays trading session, Hous-
ing Finance moved to Sh48 per
share. On Wednesday, the counter
briey touched a high of Sh50. In a
week, an investor who took position
at between Sh36 and Sh38 saw his
investment grow by more than Sh10
per share, says Ndindi Nyoro, head of
Investax Capital Ltd.
On Thursday last week, the counter
hit a high of Sh51 , with 1.18 million
traded volume. This was a Sh13 in-
crease in investment per share. On
Friday last week, the stock closed at
Sh47 per share, with 532,000 traded
volume. This stock is now a sell.
On Monday, the stock opened the
week at Sh47, before settling at Sh
45.75 in the mid-morning trading
session. According to Nyoro, you may
opt to cash in your gains at around
Sh47 if you made an entry at around
Sh38 per share. Nonetheless, there
are investors who may have bought
the counter at a high of Sh51 per
share and are now counting a loss of
Sh5.25 per share. Stock analyst Daniel
Waweru says the trick in trading is to
always act cautious with your money
when everyone seems excited.
Unga Group Ltd: This stock is a sell
for short term investors and a hold for
medium to long term investors. Unga
Group has continued to perform be-
yond expectations.
By June 23 last month, medium
term and long term investors in the
stock who took position a year ago
were looking at prots of up to 100
per cent, at between Sh30 and Sh31.
In the past six months alone, the
share has risen 82 per cent. Analysts
in this column recommended a sell
as the stock price appeared to dip.
Nonetheless, the counter has re-
gained momentum and climbed to
Sh35 a share, up Sh4 from the previ-
ously recommended exit price.
According to Mr Nyoro, the price
surge has been driven by growth
expectations based on the companys
210.6 million half-year prot for the
six months ending December 2013.
Investors have been watching the
company grow and increase its deal-
making capacity. It plans to ooad at
least 51 per cent stake in Bullpak Ltd
while buying other entities like Enns-
valley Bakery, he notes.
Ndindi says investors still holding
onto the stock may opt to either cash
in their gains or continue to hold.

On September 1, the
rst bunch of 2,000 pairs of
shoes will roll out of Zingo In-
vestments Company, marking
a leap into value addition in the
nascent leather industry.
The start of shoe manufac-
turing by the company con-
cides with the governments
added focus on leather and
textile industries to kick-start
industrialisation, as envis-
aged in Vision 2030 blue print
whose objective is to propel the
country into a medium level
economy in 16 years.
The government has allo-
cated Sh3 billion this year for
the two sectors.
At the companys site in
Ruiru, on the eastern by-pass,
proprieter Robert Njoka is ex-
uding condence that he will
meet the tight deadline he set
to start operations.
For the leather tanning rm
founded in 1970s, this is an up-
grade of its operations in value
addition after selling wet blue
(semi-nished skins and hides)
for many years.
We are condent that by
the end of August, we shall
start operations. Most of the
machines are on site. This is
what we have been working on
for several years and it will be
our small contribution in tak-
ing the leather industry up the
value chain from wet-blue to
crust form, Mr Njoka said.
The tannery that cost 11
million euros (Sh1.33 billion)
will join two other leather
products manufacturing giants
Limuru-based Bata Shoe
Company and Leather Indus-
try of Kenya in lling a void
in the market.
Estimates indicate a poten-
tial for 38 million pairs of shoes
every year in Kenya, out of
which 95 per cent is imported.
The current 10 million school
and college students are part of
this market.
Only about four million pairs
of shoes are manufactured in
the country. This is after the
leather industry declined in
the 90s following liberalisation
and ooding of the market with
imported mitumba shoes.
According to the 2014 Eco-
nomic Survey, the leather and
related products sub-sector
grew by 0.3 per cent during
the year, with manufacture of
shoes with uppers of plastic
and rubber recording a growth
of 13.6 per cent in 2013.
Production of finished
leather and shoes with uppers
of leather went down margin-
ally by 0.4 per cent and 0.2 per
cent during the year. Mr Njoka
said once operational, the rm
will employ 500 people. It will
focus mainly on the local mar-
ket before exploring the wider
East Africa region.
Last week, local shoe manu-
facturers received a boost
when Industrialisation and En-
terprise Development Cabinet
Secretary Adan Mohammed
said the armed forces would
start buying locally produced
boots once the Kenya Bureau
of Standards gives the nod on
their quality.
Kenya exports mostly semi-
finished leather known
as wet blue estimated at
about 95 per cent of the total
exports.
This has denied the country
the opportunity to earn better
returns from the industry.
But manufacturers say
the government will have to
improve on its policy to clear
the myriad challenges that
stie the industry, among them
poor animal husbandry, lack
of skilled workers, expensive
credit and marketing support.
The leather sector can bring
billions of shillings every year if
given the right incentives, Mr
Njoka said.
According to the Kenya
Leather Development Council,
the industry that is a major
lifeline for communities in arid-
and semi-arid areas has the po-
tential to earn the country Sh9
billion every year. Currently, it
earns half this amount.
Solutions suggested by play-
ers include establishment of
industrial parks that come with
added benets of infrastruc-
ture sharing, and availability of
cheaper credit.
Ethiopia is the regional gi-
ant in production of leather
products.
Most of the challenges faced
are related to high cost of en-
ergy, water and waste disposal.

Blasio Alwanga has
swapped maize farming for pas-
sion fruit, as it has become un-
economical to continue growing
maize on a three-quarter acre
piece of land he owns at Emu-
kangu village in Vihiga County.
The 46-year-old widower and
father of six anticipates earning
upto Sh50,000 this year from the
rst harvest of the fruit, expected
in a couple of months. One kilo-
gramme of the produce (about 10
fruits) fetches Sh70.
According to Alwanga, the
parcel of land never gave him
anything beyond 20kg of maize.
I dont regret embracing passion
fruit farming since I would end up
disappointed whenever I planted
maize.
He got improved seedlings of
passion fruit from Sustainable
Organic Farming and Develop-
ment Initiatives (SOFDI).
Alwanga was among several
other farmers from Emuhaya who
beneted from training in passion
fruit husbandry.
We were trained on how to
deal with diseases such lethal
woodness virus and stingy buck.
The diseases are mainly transmit-
ted by insects that sap uid or
jelly from developing fruits and
infect them in the process.
Currently, Alwanga has about
60 stems. As you can see, all of
them have health fruit that will be
ready for harvesting soon. This is
ready money, he said, gesturing
at the plants.
Although flowering begins
early, a farmer could wait up to
eight months to have the fruit
ready for harvesting, depending
on the plant variety.
One can harvest the crop for
three consecutive years before the
plant becomes old and the yields
decline.
For economic viability of pas-
sion fruits to be felt, experts say
a farmer must have at least 100
stems. Mr Alwanga plans to in-
crease his crop to 150 stems in the
next one year.
Passion fruit farming is not
only viable in this area but lucra-
tive, with minimal challenges. It
is also less labour intensive and
more environment friendly since
farmers use organic manure as
opposed to inorganic fertiliser,
as had been the tradition, said
SOFDI eld ocer in charge of
Western, Mr Rodgers Namasaka.
The organisation has em-
barked on mass production of
grafted passion fruit seedlings
to be distributed to farmers in
Emuhaya.
We want to ensure farmers
have a stable source of income
and become self sucient in food
production, he said.
According to Namasaka, proper
management of passion fruits
could see a farmer earn about
Sh2,500 every week.
In a year, such a farmer would
have realised huge gains from this
venture, he adds.
Besides, farmers are encour-
aged to grow indigenous trees on
which the fruits can climb and, in
the process, increase forest cover
and conserve the environment.
We want to kill two birds with
one stone so that the community
can reap maximum benets, said
Namasaka.
Alwanga has started intercrop-
ping the passion fruits with sweet
potatoes and African leafy vegeta-
bles for domestic consumption.

When a group of bee-
keepers in Kapkuikui area of Bar-
ingo South Sub-County teamed
up and formed an organisation 11
years ago, little did they know that
this would be a turning point in
their lives, with the venture earn-
ing them millions every season.
Kapkuikui Livestock Improve-
ment Self-Help Group, with a
membership of 32 (17 women and
15 men), now has more than 1,000
beehives which earn them an aver-
age 20kg each, twice every season,
roughly 10 tonnes annually.
The group also buys honey
from the community at Sh165 a
kilogramme, which they combine
with theirs and sell to Baraka Agri-
cultural College in Molo at Sh185 a
kilogramme.
Last season, they generated
Sh1.8 million after selling 9.8
tonnes of honey, which was dis-
tributed to members depending
on the amount they had delivered.
So lucrative is the venture that
some members sometimes go
home with more than Sh200,000
a season.
The group is registered with the
Department of Social Services. It
has modied some Kenya Top Bar
Hives (KTBHs), locally referred
to as Kapkuikui Super Log Hive,
which collect more than 40 kilo-
grammes of honey.
Group chairman Simon
Chesang says that apart from pro-
ducing relatively high amounts of
honey, the bees dont ee the mod-
ied hives during the dry season.
They have a high occupation rate,
unlike modern hives, he says.
We are now able to cater for
our families needs, including tak-
ing our children to school. Local
youth have also ventured into the
enterprise and some of them own
between 20 and 40 hives, which
have kept them from vices like
drug abuse, said Mr Chesang.
Kapkuikui shopping centre has
also opened up, thanks to the en-
terprise, with many shops coming
up to cater for tourists heading to
Lake Bogoria Game Reserve.
Value addition
We thank the county govern-
ment which has recognised our
eorts and has given us Sh2 mil-
lion this nancial year to set up a
honey processing plant. This will
enable us to do value addition for
our honey, said group treasurer
Samuel Kasitet.
On completion, it will be a
game changer for the group as
they currently sell crude honey.
Processed honey will fetch about
Sh500 a kilogramme, unlike crude
honey which sells at Sh185 a kilo-
gramme. The group will therefore
earn Sh4.9 billion a season, up
from Sh1.8 million currently.
Mr Chesang cites the prolonged
dry spell being experienced in
parts of Baringo County as a major
challenge to the enterprise due to a
shortage of water for the bees.
The group says the honey har-
vest could drop to eight tonnes
this season. Plans are at an ad-
vanced stage for them to start sup-
plying processed honey to major
supermarkets in the country.
Weve complied with all the
requirements, including register-
ing our company Kapkuikui Bee
Keepers Company. The Kenya
Bureau of Standards (Kebs) has
also given us certication, Mr
Chesang told Money.
Apart from selling honey, the
group, which has four collec-
tion centres, generates money
from products like wax, which is
packaged in three forms. A one
kilogramme pack fetches Sh600,
while 300gm sells at Sh250 and
500gm at Sh300.
The group also makes candles,
which they sell at Sh30 (small),
Sh60 (medium) and Sh200 (big).
They also make skin lotions, which
go for Sh60 a bottle.
To address the problem of bees
abandoning hives during the dry
season, the group is setting up a
bee apiary near a water source.
Ambitious programme
The Baringo County govern-
ment has embarked on an ambi-
tious programme to revive the
honey sector. Governor Benjamin
Cheboi says this will see more
than Sh5 billion generated annu-
ally in the next ve years.
Speaking when he opened a
three-day honey conference at
the Kenya School of Government
(KSG), Kabarnet, Mr Cheboi said
they were projecting to produce
more than 10,000 tonnes of honey
annually, up from the current 600
tonnes annually, which is earning
the county Sh144 million.
He called on beekeepers in the
county to form cooperative socie-
ties to develop the honey value-
chain and avoid being exploited by
middlemen.
Kenya Honey Council chair-
man Kithuma Nzainga says Kenya
has no capacity to export honey
products due to low production.
He said there was a huge market
for honey in Europe, Asia and the
Middle East but local production
was low. Leading honey producers
in Africa include Ethiopia, Zambia,
Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe,
which have the same climatic con-
ditions as Kenya.
Kerio Valley Development Au-
thority (KVDA) plans to set up a
bee keeping equipment produc-
tion centre in Kabarnet, at a cost
of Sh17 million.
KVDA managing director David
Kimosop says the centre, which
will serve West Pokot, Baringo,
Elgeyo-Marakwet, Turkana,
Trans-zoia, Uasin Gishu and Sam-
buru counties, will see production
of bee hives locally increase from
5,000 to 10,000 annually.
He said the industry could help
end cattle rustling, which for long
has marred development of the
area.

A safe home is something all of us
dream about, for the sake of our fam-
ily and property. Insuring your house
and its contents at low premiums is a
way of safeguarding your home and
property. Various insurance rms have
domestic products that even take care
of the house-help. These packages
protect against a host of perils. Please
discuss this issue Vincent K.M
Ill beg to deviate a little today to
discuss the various ways of protect-
ing your home in general, even as I
recommend insurance to underpin the
arrangement. I couldnt agree with you
more about the essence of protecting
ones home and hearth.
This is why we should take steps
primarily to protect our homes against
re, weather and burglars.
Protecting your home against re:
Fit smoke alarms, and test them
regularly.
Check electricity wiring, leads,
earthing and plugs.
Never overload plugs.
Never leave cooking oil on a gas or
electric burner when you are not there
to keep an eye.
Dont store inammable material in
the house, or leave trash lying about.
Always make sure the cooking gas
is turned o and there is no smell of
gas before lighting up.
Keep a re extinguisher and re
blanket within reach.
How to protect your home against the
weather:
Ensure there are no leaking pipes
or tanks.
Make sure roof tiles, or whatever
the roong, are secure, and that gutters
and drains are free of obstructions;
Ensure there are no unsafe trees
near the property.
Before you plan to be away for
more than 30 days, check your insur-
ance policy; and
Ensure your home/property is well
maintained and painted regularly.
Protecting your home against burglars:
Join your local neighbourhood
watch and liaise with your local crime
prevention unit Nyumba Kumi.
Have an adequate and functioning
burglar alarm system.
Fit the right locks to doors and win-
dows... and use them.
Lock the property, the garage and
the garden shed securely.
Fit burglar proof grille to windows
and doors and reinforce them with bur-
glar-proof ttings.
Fit external security lighting, and
make sure it is working;
Keep valuables in a safe.
Take record photographs of the
valuables and make two copies. Keep
them in dierent places.
Mark valuable property with a se-
curity pen.
Dont let strangers into your prop-
erty without adequate and veriable
identication.
Read your insurance policy and ob-
serve all the housekeeping and safety
conditions.
I foresee increased uptake particularly
of domestic package (DP) insurance as
the last line of defence for our homes.
The package, as a combined and
comprehensive policy, is a good prod-
uct to have, considering the increased
level of crime.
Fire incidents are also likely to in-
crease.
For example, many rural areas now
enjoy the benets of electricity.
You will notice that the village tinkler
has now become the local electrician,
being called upon to x electric faults
at connected homes.
Despite spirited campaigns by Kenya
Power on safety issues concerning
electricity, the masses remain largely
uneducated.
We need to create even greater
awareness in all aspects of protecting
and safeguarding our homes.
