A drunken youth lies by the roadside in Kisumu. According to
Nacada, those who live in towns consume more alcohol than
their rural counterparts. Nairobi and Central regions lead in the
consumption of mainstream alcoholic beverages, while Rift Valley
and Nyanza lead in traditional brews. In Western, 7.1 per cent of
the population drinks changaa.

t is very hard to get
someone to give a squad
to these days, says John
Njoroge, using the matatu
drivers parlance for part-
time crew who relieve them
so that they can take occa-
sional breaks. All the people
we used to hire have become
enslaved by alcohol.
His views were vindicated
on Tuesday when one of the
survivors of the Embu brew
tragedy told the Nation that
she and her friends wake up
at 5am each day to drink
cheap liquor.
At one point in the countrys
history, alcohol was some-
thing that people indulged in
for relaxation after work. For
many these days, however, it
has become a substitute for
work.
There are those who have ar-
gued that growing inequality
and the resultant disillusion-
ment among the youth is
the biggest problem fuelling
the alcohol abuse epidemic.
The conundrum that this
view does not explain is why
young people of otherwise
sound mind and physical
ability are foregoing oppor-
tunities for economic gain
to drink in hovels that pose
grievous danger to public
health.
A cursory look at those who
have been enslaved by the
dubious beverages leaves one
in no doubt that they are, by
any estimation, the walking
dead. The re long ed from
their eyes not to mention
their loins and they long
lost their dignity and self-
worth and are content to beg
for coins and to lie uncon-
scious by the roadside for
hours on end. By so doing,
they pose to their societies
the danger of wiping out not
just their own generation but
the subsequent one as well.
Like the rats in the fable,
the question that we should
be asking is: Who will bell
this cat?
What work? We get
up at 5am to drink!
COMMENT| Nganga Mbugua
BY CAROLINE NJUNGE
cnjunge@ke.nationmedia.com
O
n a Wednesday two weeks
ago, an oce worker took
the afternoon o to attend
a friends funeral.
That evening, he and other
friends who had attended the
burial met at a bar to see o
their departed friend. They drank
until the following morning.
Like that oce worker, many
Kenyans use every excuse in the
book to indulge in alcohol from a
toast to good fortune, celebrating
a wedding or the birth of a child or
to cope with tragic news, such as
death and divorce. In short, every
occasion presents an opportunity
to reach for the bottle.
Indeed, according to Nacada,
16.6 per cent of the urban popu-
lation consumes an alcoholic
beverage of some sort, compared
to 11.4 per cent in the rural areas.
The report also shows that Rift
Valley leads in the consumption
of traditional brews with six per
cent of its population partaking,
while western Kenya and Nairobi
top the charts in the consumption
of changaa with 7.1 and 7.2 per
cent of their respective popula-
tions consuming the spirit.
Nairobi and Central also lead in
the consumption of mainstream
brews with 15.7 and 9.2 per cent of
their populations making regular
trips to the bar.
It is true that we are drinking
too much, Mr Shadrack Kirunga,
a counsellor, said in an interview
with the Nation yesterday.
He spoke as the death toll from
the lethal brews consumed in six
counties rose to 76, with 181 peo-
ple still in hospital.
Kenyans drink problem, he
said, starts taking root in uni-
versities, where it is fuelled by
peer pressure, easy accessibility
of alcohol, opportunity and the
freedom to do whatever one
wishes with ones free time.
Drinking is a big issue in our
universities, which, unfortunately,
graduates with many of us to our
places of work, marriages, and
other relationships we form.
According to him, Kenyas
drink problem is largely driven
by low self-esteem, especially
among men.
Kenyan men feel that the
women in their lives have become
too strong, too independent, too
smart and too educated this is
dicult for some men to handle,
and so they end up feeling inad-
equate. To deal with this, they
turn to alcohol, he said.
Due to changing economic
roles, men are no longer the
sole providers for their families
and their authority is no longer
absolute. Interestingly, it is not
just the men who earn less than
their spouses who have been
left nursing bruised egos; even
the successful men still feel
intimidated by strong women
surrounding them.
This problem will continue
unless men re-orient themselves
to the new social structure, Mr
Kirunga said.
Mr Paul Mbatia, a sociologist,
said there would be no harm if
Kenyans drunk to relax. However,
the majority do so to escape their
problems.
The poor drink excessively
because they are unemployed,
unable to educate their children,
and unable to full other respon-
sibilities that only money can
full, he said. The rich, on the
other hand, tend to drink more
than they should because they are
unhappy, especially if there is no
peace at home.
The second reason he gave was
that most Kenyans have no idea
what to do with leisure time.
There are people who have
not found a better way to spend
their time, the bar therefore
becomes the most convenient
place to go.
Women, according to Mr
Mbatia, drink to show that they
are liberated. It is their way
of saying, here we are, we are
women, and can do what men
can do.
However, Nacada boss John
Mututho said access to alcohol
was the number one reason turn-
ing Kenyans into alcoholics.
When you get to a point where
10 shillings can get you alcohol,
then you know you are headed
for disaster, he said.
Those in
towns drink
more than
those in
villages,
says Nacada
as counsellor
explains
that the
rich drink
because
they are
unhappy
and the
poor to
overcome
frustration

PROBE | Ocials rushing to collect all samples
Deaths blamed on methanol
BY JOY WANJA MURAYA
jwanja@ke.nationmedia.com
S
eventy six Kenyans are believed
to be dead and another 181 ad-
mitted to hospital after taking
an industrial chemical, methanol.
After testing some samples of
the drinks that have devastated six
counties, government scientists dis-
covered that a sample from Makueni,
where 16 people have died with 75
still in hospital, was 100 per cent
methanol. A sample from the Embu
drink was 70 per cent methanol.
Methanol, used in manufacturing
as a solvent, can get people drunk,
but it is a deadly poison.
The government experts want
to test all samples and carry out
postmortems before conclusively
establishing the cause of death.
Methanol content
Health Cabinet Secretary James
said: The Makueni sample under
the brand name Countryman
had 100 per cent methanol content
against 0 per cent normal require-
ment while the one from Embu had
70 per cent of the poison. We want to
be certain that all the samples have
been analysed. We shall expect the
law enforcement agencies to take
further action.
According to Mr Macharia, ve
bottles of Countryman from
Makueni contained methanol, which
is never used in the manufacture of
alcoholic beverages.
Scientists at the Government
Chemist said their ndings are not
conclusive because they are yet to
receive samples from all the aected
areas.
Methanol is a type of alcohol used
in industries, but which is unt for
human consumption.
One of the 10 patients admitted
to Kenyatta National Hospital is in a
coma three days after patrons drank
the deadly liquor in six counties.
KNH Chief Pharmacist Tom
Menge yesterday said: We suspect
the patients consumed alcohol that
could have been adulterated with
methanol because they complained
of abdominal pain and blurred vision
while others lost their sight or went
into a coma.
Dr Menge is also a toxicologist,
a scientist who studies the nature
and eects of poisons and their treat-
ment, and said alcohol poisoning can
be reversed if a patient is taken to
a health facility and the correct an-
tidote given.
An antidote of ethanol is given
to neutralise the eect of poisoning,
and this could prevent loss of sight
and other adverse eects to internal
organs like the liver if it had not al-
ready happened, he said.
The patients at Kenyatta had acute
poisoning, meaning they had taken
large doses of poison.
Dr Menge told the Nation that
patients admitted to the referral
hospital presented with signs of
acute shortness of breath, dilation
of pupils and blurred vision, convul-
sions, dizziness, severe abdominal
pain and vomiting are some of the
signs of methanol poisoning.
Methanol is so poisonous that a
teaspoon of the chemical in its pure
form is enough to burn the optic
nerve and cause blindness. Three
teaspoons are potentially fatal.
Public health experts warn that
backyard distilleries using primitive
processes might be making drinks
with very lethal levels of methanol.
The National Authority for Cam-
paign against Alcohol and Drug
Abuse (Nacada) boss John Mututho
said Kenyans have been socialised
to believe that they cannot have fun
without alcohol.
An alcoholic cannot help taking al-
cohol... If they are rehabilitated, then
you reduce the demand for alcohol,
Mr Mututho, whose favourite drink
is milk, said.
He proposed what he called mass
rehabilitation where alcoholics
countrywide can be brought under
one roof and professional counsel-
lors called in to take them through a
90-day recovery programme.
After this, he proposes enrolling
them into the National Youth Service
for three months, where they will get
a sense of discipline. Afterwards,
give them a job, or teach them a
skill that will help them to generate
income, he said.

A compound with beer bottle boxes in Ruai, Nairobi. The deaths have been
blamed on methanol in the drinks.
Government scientists
say industrial chemical
gets people drunk, but
is a deadly poison
Methanol is converted in into
formic acid in the body.
The earliest signs of methanol
poisoning can be hard to distin-
guish from the normal eects of
alcohol.
Within an hour you can de-
velop mild symptoms similar
to alcohol intoxication, which
includes nausea, vomiting and
abdominal pain.
After 12 to 24 hours, one may
get a splitting headache and
blurred vision, which may later
lead to loss of sight.
If not attended to at a health
centre, abdominal pains develop.
The liver is later damaged and
kidney failure follows.
Problems with your heart and
circulation are experienced. Nerve
and brain damage occur before a
person goes into a coma.
This eventually leads to death.

What makes the

Brewer of the
killer liquor
out on bond
BY NATION REPORTER
One of the brewers of the deadly
liquor that has so far claimed over 76
lives was arrested but later released
on bail.
One distributor of the Wings
spirit in Embakasi, Nairobi (name
withheld), had been arrested last
Saturday, but was released on a
Sh10,000 bail.
Yesterday, Embakasi Deputy
OCPD Herman Jefwa said police had
launched investigations to ascertain
claims that the drink was deadly.
Police in Ruai had arrested him last
Saturday, he was later released on
cash bail, he said.
The revelation came after two
brands of alcoholic drinks Wings
and Countryman were identied as
the probable cause of the 76 deaths
in six counties.
Yesterday, Mr Fazul Mahamed, a
senior director at the National Au-
thority for Campaign against Alcohol
and Drug Abuse (Nacada) said one
of the drinks commonly known as
Countryman was being produced
by Comrade Manufacturers.
Two of the company owners have
been arrested.
Circulated illegally
He said the drink did not conform
to the required standards and was
being circulated illegally.
We had called on all brands of alco-
hol to conform to the public standards;
this Countryman is one of the brands
that do not conform, he said.
Kenya Police spokesperson Zippo-
rah Mboroki said that detectives had
launched investigations to establish
the source of the alcohol, those behind
it and its chemical composition.
In the past, brewers added methanol
to make alcohol more potent.
According to Dr Johansen Oduor, a
pathologist, alcohol which is basically
ethanol, mixes with methanol and
when it goes to the liver, it is broken
down to formaldehyde, which can
cause death and blindness.
As gas at room temperature, formal-
dehyde is colourless but pungent.
Dr Oduor said that it is toxic and
also leads to kidney failure and
blindness.

W
hen Kenneth Murithi
entered a drinking den
at Shauri Yako slum in
Embu Town on Sunday, his only
interest was to enjoy his regular
serving of Kathavuria drink.
On a normal day, a glass of
the ammable liquor is enough
to quench the thirst of the 30-
year-old curio seller.
A glassful of the drink sells at
Sh30. And this is all the money
the St Paul High School, Kevote,
graduate intended to spend that
day.
As he was about to take his
drink, Felista Karimi, a friend,
showed up and requested that
they share it.
Many of the revellers who took
a full glass of the liquor, or more
have since died or are in bad
condition.
I intended to take a glass of
the drink but just before I did,
a friend asked if we could share.
I agreed and we took the glass
together. My generosity may have
saved my life, he recalled as he
sat on the bed at Embu Level
Five Hospital yesterday. He and
three other survivors are sharing
the bed.
Ms Karimi is also admitted to
the same hospital.
Those who take the Kathavuria
spirit say it resembles changaa
and is corrosive.
It is usually very hot when
it comes out of the distillation
containers. If the contents are
more potent, it has a burning
sensation on the throat. One
has to dilute it with water, says
Peter Mukundi.
Ms Karimi says she sensed
something was not right after
taking one sip.
I knew something was amiss.
First it had a strong repulsive
petrol-like smell, then I felt nau-
seated and my stomach felt hot,
she says.
Another victim, a 16-year-old
Form Three student, says she was
asked to take the drink which had
been mixed with a soda by her
boyfriend.
Her uncle is among the dead.
The grandmother is in the same
ward suering from malaria.
Ms Agnes Njeri, 35, is one of
those who lost their sight. She
says luck was not on her side.
The mother of two who was
accompanied by her one-year-
old child, says she usually starts
drinking around 5am.
She says she had taken a glass
at another drinking den before
taking two and a half others at
where the calamity struck.
Ms Njeri says she felt as if she
had dust in her eyes after taking
the lethal drink.
Ms Jane Muthoni says many
people at Shauri Yako start drink-
ing early in the morning and the
provincial administration is aware
of what happens.
We start drinking as early as
5am, says the 52-year-old. I
only took a glass worth Sh70. It
is something like spirit and you
cannot consume it unless you
dilute it as the concoction can
light a re, she said.
She urges Nacada boss John
Mututho to tour the slums and
see for himself the kind of life and
environment we live in and put
an end to this illegal business.
Another victim, Mr Robert
Murithi, 38, says his wife took
him to hospital after she received
news that there had been fatali-
ties among those who had taken
the drink.
I had gone back to my work
as a loader and was minding my
business but I thank my wife since
I have also felt symptoms of the
ailments, he says.
Embu Level 5 Hospital medi-
cal superintendent Gerald Ndiritu
says most of the patients com-
plained of stomachaches, dry
mouths and headaches.
Ms Peris Muthoni, a single
mother of two, says she willingly
oered to go to hospital after see-
ing her friends die.
She says she took the drink on
Monday morning and never no-
ticed any change until when she
started getting reports that some
of her friends had fallen ill.

T
hree directors of two firms
suspected of making the killer
brews have been arrested.
This comes as the death toll rose
to 76 and those in hospital increased
to 181.
Police said they are investigating
the companies as they suspect them
of producing a brand called Coun-
tryman that caused the deaths in
Kitui.
Suspects behind the production of
another brand, Wings, which led to
the death of six people in Embakasi,
Nairobi, were among those arrested
yesterday.
Disciplinary action
Some suspects have been arrested
and those on the run are being pur-
sued, Interior Cabinet Secretary
Joseph ole Lenku said.
Several chiefs and their assistants
from areas where dozens of people
died after consuming lethal liquor
have been interdicted, he added.
Mr Lenku said that severe dis-
ciplinary action will also be taken
against police ocers in charge of
the aected areas.
The minister put the total number
of people who had died by last evening
at 70 and those in hospital at 181. He
said that in Embu, 34 people had lost
their lives and 99 were in hospital.
In Makueni, 17 had died and 60
were in hospital.
In Kiambu, he said, 10 people had
died while one person was still in
hospital yesterday.
Kitui had six dead and 20 in hos-
pital, while in Muranga, three people
died while one was in hospital.
In a Press statement, Mr Lenku said
the government had directed adminis-
trators and the police to intensify the
crackdown on illicit brews to ensure
the menace is eradicated.
Following the death of 70 peo-
ple after drinking illicit alcohol,
the government wishes to express
profound condolences to families of
the bereaved and tell Kenyans that
action has been taken against those
responsible, he said.
At the same time, the National
Authority for the Campaign against
Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada)
senior director Fazul Mahamed yes-
terday said Countryman is produced
by a Nairobi-based company.
The drink does not conform to
required standards and was being
circulated illegally, he said.
In Embu County, the death toll hit
35 yesterday, up from 25 on Tuesday.
Two police ocers and two chiefs in
the area have been sacked in connec-
tion with the deaths.
Embu Level Five Hospital medical
superintendent Gerald Ndiritu said 10
more people had died at the facility,
while 76 others were recuperating,
some of them in critical condition.
In Makueni County, the number of
deaths climbed from 12 to 16, while
those admitted to Makueni Level 4
Hospital rose from 67 to 75.
Cons for the dead
Meanwhile, ve people were ar-
rested in Limuru with another type
of illicit brew.
The suspects told police that
they sourced the drink from a man
nicknamed Kanji in Kawangware,
Nairobi.
In Embu, Governor Martin Wamb-
ora, County Women Representative
Rosemary Mitaru and Manyatta MP
John Muchiri visited the victims at
Embu Level Five Hospital and called

our people have been
arrested in connection
with the twin bus explo-
sions that rocked Thika Road
on Sunday, police said.
The four have been posi-
tively identified and linked
to the blast that killed three
people and left 62 injured,
according to Nairobi county
commander Benson Kibue.
Mr Kibue said yesterday
that the suspects would be
charged in court soon, but
disclosed neither the nature
of offences facing them, their
identities nor where they were
being held.
He said the four would be
in custody, helping police with
leads on the attacks which have
been blamed on Al-Shabaab.
They have been positively
identified in connection with
the two blasts. They will appear
in court any time from now, Mr
Kibue said.
Investigators have been follow-

traced to Mombasa on a SIM
card recovered from the blast
scene on Sunday, police told the

The detectives have also ana-

It is suspected that the bombs
were triggered using a remote

Some witnesses who recorded

said police had arrested four suspects in connection with the Sunday bus
explosions in Nairobi.
BY NATION REPORTER
Matatu operators on Githurai
route in Nairobi yesterday went
on strike to protest hefty bonds
issued to the crew of two buses
charged with failing to screen
passengers.
Commuters were forced to
wait for hours to get to the
city centre.
The few 14-seater matatus
in operation raised fares from
the Sh30 to Sh100.
Ruiru MP Esther Nyambura
Gathogo said the government
was being unfair to the bus
operators by making them
sacricial lambs.
If we can pay billions to
unknown companies through
Anglo Leasing yet at the same
time demand Sh5 million from
a poor father of three children
who earns Sh1,000 per day,
how are we helping our peo-
ple? she asked.
Ms Gathogo asked the gov-
ernment to instead train the
matatu crew on how to use pas-
senger screening gadgets.
She said the ve accused
should not bear all the blame
for the attacks.
They are accused of failing
to prevent a felony in connec-
tion with last Sundays twin
explosions on Thika Super-
highway.
Ms Gathogo urged the
government to instead use
the incident to nd security
solutions.
Githurai 45 Travellers Sacco
vice-chairman Gecini Kagwe
asked the government to listen
to the plea of the poor, saying
it was impossible for the bus
crew to raise the Sh5 million
bonds.
When we go to court we
are seeking justice and not to
be persecuted on errors that
we did not even commit, Mr
Kagwe said.
Buy metal detectors
Githurai Kimbo Police
Station commander Samuel
Otongo, however, said he had
pleaded with matatu operators
in the area to buy metal detec-
tors a few weeks back but they
ignored him.
Mr Otongo said some saccos
agreed to procure the security
gadgets and had been using
them while the Githurai Sacco
ignored the advice.
Unied Sacco uses those
detectors and people are see-
ing the importance of screening.
We do not have to act confused
whenever the attacks happen
but act early enough to avert
them, he said.
He thanked the operators
for conducting their protests
peacefully and said he would
meet their representatives to
resolve the dispute.
The court ruled that drivers
Robert Gakuru and Joshua
Wambugu and conductors
James Munene, Geofrey
Mwangi and Anthony Muthee
could be released on Sh5 million
bond each.
Efforts by their lawyer to
have Makadara chief magistrate
Emilly Ominde relax the bond
terms were unsuccessful.

dier with his Cord colleagues
on the security situation in the
country.
Mr Musyoka posted on his
Twitter account that when it
comes to security there is neither
government nor opposition.
We are all in this together,
he said.
Mr Musyoka described last
weekends terror attacks in
Nairobi as barbaric, adding
they will not break us nor
deter our strong determination
to overcome those who dont
mean well for Kenya.

These cowards must be
brought to justice, Mr Musy-
oka said.
His assertion diers with his
Cord colleagues tough stance

Acting ODM Party Leader
Anyang Nyongo on Sunday

its forces from Somalia to stop

not withdraw its forces from So-
malia until order is restored in

G
overnors have devised
a new trick to keep the
privilege of ying the
national ag on their cars.
The 47 county bosses have
hatched a plan to each intro-
duce a Bill that when passed
will allow visiting and hosting
governors to y the national
flag within defined county
territories.
The plan to be discussed
today at a retreat in Naivasha,
where the leaders are meeting
to elect new Council of Gover-
nors ocials, is likely to spark
o fresh controversy between
the county heads and MPs
following the passage of the
National Flag, Emblems and
Names (Amendment) Bill.
We have agreed that it is
prudent to each pass a Bill at
the county assemblies that will
allow visiting and hosting gov-
ernors to y the national ag
while in the hosting county. In
Bomet this has been initiated
and the same will be done all
over the country, said Council
of Governors chairman Isaac
Ruto.
Mr Ruto said the Bill will
also dene titles for various
leaders in the counties includ-
ing Senators, Members of the
County Assembly and Na-
tional Assembly members.
If passed as planned, then
like the President, governors
will y two agsthe county
ag and the national agon
their cars.
If Bomet passes the Bill it
means that if we are hosting
the Narok Governor, then he
will be free to y the national
ag within our territory, he
explained.
The Bills according to Mr
Ruto are also supposed to
allow persons within county
territories where the legisla-
tion has been enacted to refer
to governors as His Excel-
lency and their spouses as
Her Excellency .
He said that laws touching
on county matters passed by
County Assemblies supersede
any other legislation passed by
any other legislative organ.
Yesterday, Bungoma Gov-
ernor Ken Lusaka conrmed
that the council meeting in
Naivasha would brainstorm
on the matter.
This is something we have
discussed. All the County As-
semblies will be passing this
Bill and eecting it very soon,
Mr Lusaka said.

T
axpayers may be forced
to pay Sh1.4 billion to
Anglo-Leasing companies
after the High Court declined to
stop the government from mak-
ing the payments.
Mr Justice David Majanja
instead threw the burden to
Parliament, ruling that the
matter was before the National
Assembly.
He noted that stopping
Finance Cabinet Secretary
Henry Rotich from making the
payments would be tantamount
to interfering with MPs role in
checking the governments -
nancial expenditure.
The petitioner has alleged
corruption in the Anglo-Leas-
ing payment which this court
takes seriously but which does
not amount to interference with
Parliaments duties. In any event,
they have not annexed any docu-
ment to suggest the government
will make the payments imme-
diately, ruled the judge.
Wont suer prejudice
He added that the Law So-
ciety of Kenya, which led the
petition, had not demonstrated
how it would suer prejudice if
the government was not stopped
from making the payments.
It was the burden of LSK
to demonstrate that they are
entitled to the conservatory or-
ders and although they have an
arguable case, they have not even
attached the judgement from
England which compelled the
government to pay the money,
ruled the judge.
Lawyer James Mwamu had
sought to temporarily stop the
government from paying the
money to the companies pend-
ing the determination of their
petition.
Mr Mwamu argued that tax-
payers stood to lose Sh1.4 billion
to ghost companies since the
judgement in England compel-
ling the government to make the
payments was an infringement
on the rights of Kenyans.
A foreign judgement that
violates the rights of Kenyans
cannot be sustained since the
government seems to be in a
hurry to execute the huge pay-
ments to a company that does
not exist, he said.
He added that the controver-
sial contract with Anglo-Leasing
companies was still a subject of
investigations by the Ethics and
Anti-Corruption Commission
and if the payments were made,
the commission might not get to
the bottom of the matter.
However, Attorney General
Githu Muigai through senior
deputy solicitor-general Muthoni
Kimani defended the government
move to pay, saying allegations
of corruption were rumours and
misinformation being fuelled by
people with a certain agenda.
If there is one Kenyan out
there who can come to prove
to us that the Anglo-Leasing
scheme is a fraud then we will
be the rst people to seek a court
injunction to stop the payments.
The contract was dealt with in
accordance with the English
law and our part has been to
execute it in accordance with
the Constitution, said Ms Mu-
thoni (below).
She added that the govern-
ment would have opted to
settle the Sh1.4 billion secretly
but because of the public inter-
est and spirit of accountability,
it decided to involve Parliament
which will have the nal say on
the payments.
Mr Justice Majanja agreed with
her submissions that the court
should respect the doctrine of
separation of powers and leave
the Executive and the Legisla-
ture to sort out the matter.
LSK went to court claiming
that the payment will be a breach
of the Constitution and against
the will of Kenyans since the
judgement giving rise to the
dispute was untenable and based
on questionable grounds.
Universal Satspace (North
America) LLC in September
2006 sued the government
over claims of $12,366,816
(Sh1.4 billion) at the Justice
Queens Bench Division Com-
mercial Court in England.
The judge scheduled May 26
for hearing of LSKs petition
challenging the judgement.

Taxpayers stand to suer more if
Kenya delays to pay Anglo Leasing
debts, a Senate Committee heard
yesterday.
Senior Ocials from the Min-
istry of Finance told the Senate
Finance Committee that the two
companies demanding payment
after a successful petition in court
were owed Sh1.6 billion by Febru-
ary, this year. The committee is
chaired by Senator Billow Kerrow
(Mandera, URP).
The interest for First Marcan-
tile and Satspace is Sh121,518 and
Sh143,190 respectively, per day,
according to Treasury documents
tabled before the committee.
The cases were led in Switzer-
land and the UK, a move that has
raised questions as to why those
who committed Kenya to the
contracts, agreed to have legal
disputes emerging out of the deal,
determined in foreign courts.
Solicitor General
The committee was also fur-
nished with correspondence
between Solicitor General Njee
Muturi and Treasury Principal
Secretary Kamau Thugge.
In the letter, the Solicitor
General appeals to the Principal
Secretary to speed up the proc-
ess of nding a lasting solution to
the matter to avoid committing the
country to more losses.
We wish to inform you that
the Embassy of Switzerland
has now served the Ministry of
Foreign Aairs in Nairobi with a
notice of attachment of the Kenya
Government mission property in
Geneva for non-payment of the
judgement awarded amounting
to USD 10,561,008, the letter
dated February 19, reads.
The Finance Committee warned
the Treasury against making
payments for the Anglo Leasing
contracts until its investigations
are complete.
It also observed that it is impor-
tant for Kenyans to know the faces
behind the two companies.

An American woman who was
raped by a male nurse in Texas says
her attacker ed to Kenya.
Debe Castro was an inpatient
at the Medical Centre of Plano in
the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex
in January 2013 where she was
preparing for a heart procedure
when the incident occurred.
The male nurse identied as Wil-
son Karago entered Ms Castros
room in the middle of the night.
He woke me up. He kissed me.
He said, You kiss, but you dont
tell. Something to that nature when
he woke me up, Castro told WFAA
a local television station.
And I said, Whoa, what are
you doing here? And thats
when things escalated. The rape
started.
DNA matched
According to records, Ms Castro
went to report the incident at a
Plano police station. DNA evidence
was collected from Ms Castro and
eventually investigators drew Ka-
ragos blood for analysis. The DNA
matched. Karago was later indicted
by a Collin County grand jury.
According to Ms Castro, when
police went to arrest Karago, he
had already ed to Kenya and that
country will not extradite accused
criminals to America.
In August 2012 however, Kenya
extradited Ms Anastasia Oluoch
who was caught on camera beat-
ing an elderly patient in Baltimore,
Maryland.
Ms Castro is frustrated that law
enforcement will not release docu-
ments relating to the case since
this is still being considered an ac-
tive case. She went to the media to
tell her story so that it could serve
as a warning to others.
Rapist ed

BY BMJ MURIITHI
Police in Baltimore, Mary-
land, are investigating a case
in which a Kenyan man was
stabbed to death over the
weekend. Mr David Mbugua
was fatally stabbed in the chest
early Saturday morning.
According to police, an of-
ficer on patrol was flagged
down by a group of people
at the intersection of Charles
and Baltimore streets in the
wee hours of Saturday. When
he stopped, he found a man had
been stabbed multiple times.
Emergency personnel
The officer called for an
ambulance which arrived min-
utes later and the emergency
personnel took the man to a
nearby hospital where he suc-
cumbed to the injuries, an
eye witness told WJZ, a local
Television Station.
According to Mwakilishi.com,
a Kenyan online newspaper

Meanwhile, a Kenyan who
was out on bail for armed as-
sault was on Sunday arrested
by the police and charged
with unlawful possession of a
rearm and operating a motor
vehicle without a licence in
Lowell, Massachusetts, USA.
Mr John Wachaga, 20, was
apprehended only a week after
a Superior Court judge drasti-
cally reduced his cash bail and
freed him pending the hearing
on a case in which he is charged
with armed assault with intent
to murder a 16-year-old boy.
US police working on
case of stabbed Kenyan

A
businessman yesterday oered
his estranged Zimbabwean
lover three fully paid trips to
Kenya annually to see their four-
year-old son in a bid to end a custody
dispute in a Nakuru court.
Lawyer Harry Gakinya said they
were willing to also cater for all her
expenses whenever she ies in during
school holidays to see their four-year-
old son.
But he quickly added that his client
was not ready to travel to South Africa
every three months to be with his son,
saying it would be an infringement of
the childs constitutional rights as a
Kenyan citizen.
Mr Gakinya said his client would
not agree to a suggestion by acting
Senior Magistrate Judicaster Nthuku
that he should also reciprocate and y
out to see his son in South Africa.
But lawyer Elizabeth Wangare,
downplaying the oer, said the father
should be compelled to pay for the
boys maintenance and education once
he is allowed to go with his mother.
Ms Wangare urged the court to
grant custody of the boy to the
mother, saying that she had single-
handedly taken care of the minor since
birth until seven months ago, when
he was abducted by his father from
South Africas Eastern Cape.
In her adavit presented before
court, the woman claimed her es-
tranged lover abducted their son
and swore a false adavit to South
African authorities that thieves had
broken into his vehicle and stole a bag
containing personal eects.
He proceeded to obtain new travel
documents for the boy and ew him
to Kenya, where he swore a second
adavit on the purported loss and
was issued with a new passport for
the minor, said Ms Wangare.
Mr Gakinya disputed the claim,
saying a parent could not abduct his
own child.
He said evidence ought to be ob-
tained from South Africa showing that
his client swore a false adavit to the
police on the car-burglary.
Mr Gakinya also urged the court to
disqualify itself from the case, saying
he felt he had been denied ample time
to respond to the claims raised in the
application.
This was after Ms Wangare disputed
his assertion that the childs passport
was properly acquired and that wit-
nesses needed to be summoned from
South Africa to testify in the case.
Mr Gakinya also sought more time,
saying that as an ocer of the court,
he felt he had been denied time to
respond to matters of fact and also
interrogate the authorities forwarded
to him by Ms Wangare.
The court extended temporary
custody to the childs mother until it
makes a ruling next week.

T
he Sh35 billion Mom-
basa-Nairobi oil pipeline
is mired in fresh contro-
versy after a section of bidders
faulted a decision by the Kenya
Pipeline Company to postpone
opening of the tender at the
last minute.
The bidders who are among
13 rms that have expressed
interest in the tender yesterday
said the last postponement
was the third one in a row.
Days had elapsed
We are wondering why the
opening of the tender had to
be postponed when the seven
days allowed to extend the
tender had elapsed, said a
bidder who talked to the Na-
tion on condition that he is
not named.
They said the postpone-
ment had cost them millions
of shillings in travel expenses,
accommodation and missed
business opportunities.
When contacted KPC man-
aging director, Mr Charles
Tanui, told the Nation that the
tendering had been postponed
to Friday .
It is true the bid opening
date has been pushed back to
Friday from today. The procur-
ing department within KPC
sought an extension because
they required certain clarica-
tions, he said.
The process is ongoing and
is within the law. PPOA (Public
Procurement Oversight Au-
thority) has also cleared the
nal tender document. They
also supported us in our chal-
lenge against the court case
brought by Richmond Produc-
tions, Mr Tanui added.
He said the bidders were
a mix of local and foreign
companies. China and India
each had four bidders. The
rest are Korean, Dutch and
Kenyan companies.
The Vision 2030 agship
project tender has been marred
by allegations of irregularities
after KPC reportedly removed
midstream, a clause that re-
quires companies to prove
that they can obtain 70 per
cent nancing before being
short-listed.
Rights division
The battle spilled over to
the Constitution and Human
Rights Division of the High
Court where it was resolved.
However, yesterday both
Energy principal secretary
Joseph Njoroge, and pipeline
authorities gave an assurance
that despite the controversy
that is stalking the Sh35 billion
tender, the pipeline project will
progress well.
The new multi-products oil
pipeline is to be laid over a
450km distance between the
coastal city and the capital.
Tenders have been sent
out and are expected back
by Friday, said the PS in an
e-mail response.
Pipeline managers also con-
rmed that the process was
proceeding without a hitch.
We will open the tenders on
May 15. Our target is to build
the line within two years after
award of the tender, said
Kenya Pipeline Chief Manager
for Engineering and Technical
Services Elias Karumi.
When completed in 2016,
the new line will replace the
existing 14-inch diameter line
which has been operational
since 1978.

Screen all passengers
F
ive operators of the buses blown up by
suspected terrorists on Sunday have been
charged with negligence. Reason: they
allegedly failed to take any measures to screen
passengers, which resulted in the death of three
people and 50 wounded.
It would be only fair to nd out just what the
authorities have done to educate the owners and
crew of public service vehicles on the urgency of
taking security measures to pre-empt such attacks.
Secondly, it would have been expected that the
vehicle owners would be charged alongside their
workers for this negligence.
Should it be established that the crew actually
had the hand-held metal detectors but refused to
use them, the owners will have no case to answer.
But if it is they who have failed to buy the devices,
then they should be held liable.
A recent television interview at a populous bus
terminus in the city revealed that no PSV uses the
device, which costs Sh12,000 and above.
Indeed, some of the touts were reported as asking
the government to buy the devices. But why should
it? Public transport is a private business.
With that kind of attitude, there is no wonder
terrorists are getting away with mass murder.

Registered at the GPO as a newspaper
M
ore than 70 people
have died and
an equal number
admitted to hospital
in the last three days
after drinking the lethal
Countryman spirit in ve
Kenyan counties.
I checked the countrys
leading news sites, and
that great bellwether of
Kenyan sentiment, Twitter,
and the story of the killer
Countryman and its
victims was not hot at all.
It didnt come anywhere
near the biggest Kenyan
social media story of the
last fortnight, the one on
Linda Okello, the curvy
Kiambu policewoman with
the tight skirt.
Nor, indeed, did it match
the recent terrorist attacks,
although the number of
victims is six times higher.
That, at rst impression,
is surprising, but we are in
an age when the how of
a death is more than the
number of casualties.
And, of course, novelty
still sells an ogling-
worthy woman in a tight
is not the rst thing most
Africans will link with a cop.
Likewise, we identify with
victims of terrorist bombs.
We consider them innocent,
law-abiding citizens going
about their business, when a
crazed radical blew them up.
And that could have been us
at the pub, mall, or bus.
Countryman victims?
Well, they are drinkers
some of us think they have
a choice not to drink. Or if
they choose to drink, its
stupidity that draws them
to a suspect one that is not
made by a bona de brewer
like Keroche or East African
Brewers; or busaa by honest
cultured upcountry folks.
Many issues are lost in
this analysis, one being the
pressures that lead people
to drink Countryman and
other lethal concoctions.
They are the same issues
that have led to millions of
men in Kenya, Uganda, and
Tanzania, name it, being
wasted away with alcohol in
the villages.
A recent WHO report
suggests that East Africa is
not the worst hit with strong
unregulated brews. A West
African friend recently told
me that if we think changaa
is nishing o Kenyan men,
we need to go to countries
like Senegal and Mali, and
see worse.
Why this drinking
epidemic, in both the
villages and towns?
I think the main reason is
that the colonial economy
upon on which our societies
are structured made one
lethal assumption that
women would always need
men to raise families and
make a living.
And for the longest time,
that was the case. There was
the practical issue that, yes;
women needed men to make
children. Also, because they
didnt own land or anything
else, they needed men to
let them farm on theirs for
them to eat and feed their
children.
We didnt imagine that
times would change. That
women would go to school,
or even if they didnt, that
they would travel beyond
their villages and nd paid
jobs.
We didnt think that the
colonial economy, based on
cash crops like coee, tea,
sisal, which was planted on
land owned by men, thus
allowing them to capture the
surplus, would end.
But it ended, and with
women being educated
and earning an income, the
business of reproduction
was separated from
livelihood.
In other words, a woman
can get a man to father
her child, but because she
is independent, raise it
without his help. And, of
course, because women
have their own money, they
can buy their land on the
market. They no longer have
to wait for it to be passed
down by the Patriarchal
Establishment.
Then, the colonial
economy went at, and the
denition of cash crops was
widened beyond coee and
tea. With that, the men lost
their predatory power and
the surplus they used to
enjoy.
Lost in this new complex
world, and unable to adapt
fast enough, many men,
especially peasants and
the urban underclass,
understandably sought
solace in changaa.
But the world changed
for women too. Now, if they
choose the old route, it is
more dicult to nd a good
man with land or a healthy
income.
In addition, increasingly,
for many men, a perfect
partner is the one who also
brings ugali to the table.
Surviving as a woman today
is far more competitive than
it was for our grandmothers.
Again, for such women,
Countryman beckons.
These are not easy
problems to solve, but we
have a better shot of doing
so if we understand them
well, rst.

Why Lindas skirt was hotter news

Rejuvenated leadership
needed in South Africa
S
outh Africans went to the polls yesterday to
elect new leaders for a nation grappling with a
myriad challenges.
The elections are signicant in a number of ways.
First, they come only a few months after the death
of its towering leader, Nelson Mandela, the worlds
most celebrated liberation ghter.
His inuence over the ruling African National
Congress, which is set to retain power, is gradually
fading and with that the ideals that saw a spirited
struggle that nally emancipated the country from
white minority rule in 1994.
Second, South Africans face serious governance
problems. Corruption is worsening as those in
power use their positions to enrich themselves and
their cronies. Increasingly, the ANC is trending
towards racial intolerance that, if left unchecked,
will negate the ideals of the anti-apartheid struggle.
After the few halcyon years when the leadership
promoted racial and social integration under the
banner of a rainbow nation, the country has veered
o the racks.
ANC is facing a split with the maverick youthful
leader Julius Malema leading an onslaught on the
Jacob Zuma leadership and putting the party on a
dangerous path to self-destruction.
Third, as the continents largest economy, South
Africas politics and business aect the region
in no small way. Unfortunately, its economy has
performed below potential, which is worrisome.
After 20 years of self-rule, South Africa nds
itself at a stage when it must look inwards and seek
renewal. It requires a new leadership that can put it
back on the rails so that it can take its rightful place
among the comity of nations.
That is why we hope the elections will usher in
a new leadership that would live to the ideals of
Mandela and other freedom ghters.

AGRICULTURE | Gilbert arap Bor
U
S President Barack
Obamas ringing
endorsement of
biotechnology has the
potential to inspire hearts and
minds in Africa and perhaps
more here in Kenya.
He has spoken favourably of
biotechnology in the past, but
his latest statement came on
a most appropriate occasion:
the dedication in April of a
new statue in the US Capitol
honouring Norman Borlaug,
the scientist who sparked the
Green Revolution, a series
of technological advances
credited with saving a billion
lives around the world through
better food production.
I am pleased to join in
celebrating the life of your
grandfather, wrote President
Obama in a letter to Julie
Borlaug. I share his belief
that investment in enhanced
biotechnology is an essential
component of the solution
to some of our planets
most pressing agricultural
problems.
In Kenya, we see the
problem of food insecurity.
More than a million Kenyans
go hungry each day, according
to recent estimates. The
problem is worse in other
African nations, where more
than 230 million people go
hungry. That is one out of
every ve people on our
continent. The pressure to
feed them will only increase.
Demographers expect our
population to double by 2050.
So we arent growing
enough food right now, and
were going to have to grow a
lot more soon.
President Obama recognises
that the Green Revolution
must evolve into the Gene
Revolution. Yet many African
governments, including
Kenyas, do not yet share this
view.
Perhaps this is about to
change. A few days ago, a
task force set up by Health
Cabinet Secretary James
Macharia heard scientists and
researchers present compelling
evidence for the adoption of
GM crops. (Readers can follow
some of the conversation at
#GMTaskforceHearing on
Twitter).
I am on the front lines of
Kenyan food production.
Like so many farmers in the
North Rift, Ive just planted
maize and, due to lack of
rain, it is withering because
we used conventional seed as
none of us have access to GM
seeds. Were going to spend
another year failing to meet
our potential, with our elds
suering from aictions such
as climate change and lethal
maize necrosis disease, which
is as deadly as it sounds.
Kenyas and Africas food-
insecurity problems have
many reasons. Yet one of the
most basic solutions is simple:
Farmers should be able to use
the best crop technology.
A recent study by the
International Food Policy
Research Institute says that
if smallholder farmers in
Africa were to gain access to
genetically modied crops,
they could improve their yields
by as much as 29 per cent.
In other words, if the
ordinary farmers of Kenya and
its neighbours were allowed to
enjoy the same technologies as
American farmers, we would
be well on our way to meeting
the challenge of feeding our
people.
This is not a scientic
challenge, but a political one.
The science surrounding GM
crops is well established. Not
only are these plants safe to
grow and consume, theyre
even better than conventional
crops because they allow
farmers to produce more on
less land by defeating weed,
pests and diseases.
As I write these words,
a farmer somewhere in the
northern hemisphere is
planting the worlds fourth-
billionth acre of GM crops,
according to data compiled
by Truth and Trade about
Technology, an American non-
prot group.
This is a remarkable
milestone. Most of the
progress has come from
breadbasket countries where
GM crops are widely used,
such as the United States,
Argentina, Brazil and Canada.
Burkina Faso, Egypt, South
Africa, and Sudan are the
only African countries to have
adopted GM crops. Most
others, including Kenya, have
resisted this technology. Their
governments have succumbed
to the irrational fears that have
caused much of Europe to
oppose GM food.
The time has come to move
forward. Kenya must begin
by lifting its political ban
on imports of GM food and
permit the commercialisation
of GM crops. As Agriculture
Cabinet Secretary Felix Koskei
recently told journalists, as a
ministry, we have no problems
with GMOs.

lic University of Eastern

K
enya is one of the most developed
economies in East and Central
Africa and has demonstrated
leadership in overcoming some of the
major human development challenges
that face sub-Saharan Africa.
As we race towards the Millennium
Development Goals, the country is set to
meet many of the targets by 2015.
On the issue of maternal and child
health in Kenya, however, there is
much work to be done. Health Cabinet
Secretary James Macharia has highlighted
the challenge, saying:
Each day, 15 women and 290
children die as a result of pregnancy
complications including giving birth,
HIV and several curable and preventable
childhood diseases.
According to the Ministry of State for
Devolution and Planning, 43.8 per cent
of births in Kenya were attended to by
trained health personnel in 2011 against
a 2015 target of 90 per cent. Only 43 per
cent of deliveries take place in health
facilities. Contraceptive prevalence rate
is at 46 per cent, up from 39 per cent in
2000 against a 2015 target of 70 per cent.
Universal access to sexual and
reproductive health services including
family planning and maternal health is
a human right at the core of sustainable
development. This was a key message
that emerged from the April 24 meeting
that brought together the wives of the
governors of Kenyas 47 counties.
Aids continues to be the leading cause
of death and contributes to almost 15 per
cent of deaths in children and 20 per cent
of all maternal deaths. Estimates show
that 13,000 new HIV infections among
children were recorded in 2012.
In the same year, over 100,000 children
died before their fth birthday. The
rapidly increasing rate of HIV infections
among young women between ages 15
and 24 is equally startling with an
estimated 25,000 cases per year.
Aids and sexual and reproductive
health are inextricably linked and both
are critical for sustainable development.
Tackling these issues warrants a unied
response from all stakeholders if we really
want to deliver on the promise of health,
gender equity and human rights for all.
To underscore the need for vital
services to improve maternal, newborn
and health as well as to prevent mother-
to-child transmission of HIV, Kenyas
First Lady launched the Beyond Zero
Campaign in Nairobi earlier this year.
This commitment was translated into
concrete action in the form of a policy
document to control HIV and promote
maternal, newborn and child health.
It outlines ve objectives: (i) accelerate
HIV programmes, (ii) inuence
investment in high-impact activities to
promote maternal and child health and
HIV control, (iii) mobilise men as clients,
partners and agents of change, (iv)
involve communities to address barriers
to accessing HIV, maternal and child
health services and (v) provide leadership,
accountability and recognition to
accelerate the attainment of HIV, maternal
and child health targets.
Donors have pledged their support and
the Ministry of Health has announced
a 2014 budget of $400 million to prevent
the rate of HIV transmissions, reduce
maternal and child death, and increase
the number of skilled healthcare workers
and facilities in the country.

THE CUTTING EDGE
BY THE WATCHMAN
PAY EXAMINERS. The Kenya National
Examinations Council is not just guilty of delaying
the release of results slip, it is also taking too long
to pay examiners, claims Patrick Mwangi. Whereas in
the past, those who marked the December national
examinations would be paid by March, to date, they
have received nothing. And to add insult to injury, as
schools reopen for the second term, the examiners are
still unsure about when they will be paid. After sitting
through the drudgery of marking exams, we should be
paid our dues on time.

. . . AND THESE ONES TOO. Kenyans have taken
to the social media by storm, oering all manner of
opinions on the countrys security predicament, notes
Kariuki Mureithi. His own 50 cents worth of wisdom
on the matter is that the rising insecurity has a lot to
do with misplaced security capabilities. He singles
out trac police who are always busy chatting on
their mobile phones and taking tea at roadblocks
instead of helping to gather intelligence to eectively
ght terrorism.
GIVE US SOME LIGHT. Residents of Saika Estate
in Nairobis Eastlands have never had it so rough,
remarks Didie Mbatia, on the power failures in the past
six months. Weve been reduced to babies who have
to crawl into bed as early at 7pm and throw away the
food in our fridges, which have become no more than
cupboards. Calls to Customer Care, he adds, are often
answered with promises that technicians will be sent
over, but nothing ever happens. If the transformer is
the problem, they should install a bigger one.
COPS BEHAVING BADLY. Some trac police
ocers are behaving badly, says Jacob Onyango,
saying they will ag down a motorist, pretend to
check something and before waving him on, blatantly
ask for something to remove the cold, a euphemism
for a bribe. Some will ponticate that it is about the
big man (you) looking into the welfare of the small
man (them). Can the Trac Commandant crack down
on this clear abuse of oce? demands Jacob, whose
contact is jonyango@meds.or.ke.
REPAIR THIS ROAD. Once a beautiful tarmac
road snaking through the countryside, the Kinoo 87-
Kanyariri road in Kikuyu sub-county is in a terribly bad
shape, Steve Kuria reports. Also almost unusable even
on foot, he adds, is a part of the Limuru Highway from
Kinoo 87 via Kariango to Kanyariri. He is, therefore,
inviting Kiambu Governor William Kabogo and Kikuyu
MP Kimani Ichungwa to an inspection tour even in
their four-wheel drive limousines to have a feel of the
mess locals have to contend with daily.
MISPLACED PRIORITIES. The people advocating
the building of a standard gauge railway line in Kenya

project, he adds, is only comparable to a small-scale
farmer getting into massive debt to buy a Lamborghini
Veneno for $4.5 million to transport his produce to the

key to the railroad project. The best option, he states,
is to x, expand and gradually upgrade the existing
railway line. His contact is Paul.Otieno@dvn.com.

YESTERDAYS QUESTION
Is CS Charity Ngilu justied to close lands oces to the public?
ELAIS JUNIOR: If she is within the
law then ne! If not, she ought to
be sacked as another Anglo Leasing
might just be in the ong.
LINCOLN KINYUA: How does she
expect land issues to be solved when
oces are closed. Let her tackle
problems instead of running away.
CYRIL OMBOK: She is absolutely
wrong. Oces belong to the public;
streamlining is not by closing doors.
JOE MUSYOKI: It was wrong to
appoint a person who is emotional to
such a ministry. Mrs Ngilu would have
been the right person to deal with
terrorists (Defence).
EDMOND KIPNGENO: That is a
waste of precious time.
REBECCA OYANDO: We have
many qualied people for this minis-
try. Mrs Ngilu is dragging us behind.
EDDIE GICHANGA: Whatever they
are doing can be done when these of-
ces are open or on weekends.
DENNIS JOHNSTONE ONYINO:
Yes, to help uproot corruption.
PETER MBUCHI: Yes. Sorting les
will bring order and eciency.

T
he trend terrorist attacks in
various parts of the country
is taking suggests that ter-
rorism is here with us to stay at
least for a while until we get our
house as a country in order.
In response to these attacks,
Kenya has beefed up security in
major buildings, places of worship
and in the public transport sector.
Perhaps this is why the police have
been quick to ignorantly charge
ve crew members of the Sunday
bus blasts with failing to prevent
terrorism.
This is where our inadequacies
as a country in preventing and
managing terrorism begin. While
using metal detectors in public
places is now the norm rather than
the exception, a closer look at the
security measures reveals a lot of
deciencies that need to be sorted
out as soon as possible.
Security rms
First, most of those guards hired
by private security rms and PSV
owners to frisk shoppers and pas-
sengers are devoid of technical
know-how. Few of those guards
could aptly describe a hand gre-
nade or Improvised Explosive De-
vices (IEDs).
Second, and for the case of PSVs,
no sooner do the vehicles leave the
main terminus than they start pick-
ing un-frisked passengers along
the way. They do so at great risk
to the other passengers who were
earlier frisked.
Third, there is an assumption
that GK vehicles, especially the big
fuel guzzlers associated with those
in authority, are beyond reproach,
and thus cannot be subjected to the
normal security checks. What will
prevent Al-Shabaab extremists or
any other terrorists for that mat-
ter, from using high end four-wheel
drive vehicles complete with fake
GK or diplomatic number plates to
accomplish their mission?
Fourth, supermarkets and other
major stores need to review their
luggage policies to keep abreast
of the emerging terrorist threats.
It is now a common practice that
before you enter into a supermar-
ket, you leave your luggage with an
attendant. Have the security oc-
ers in those stores gured out that
a terrorist could leave a bag full of
explosives with the attendant only
to detonate it later using devices
such as mobile phones?
Fifth and nally, there are many
dustbins in various locations in
major towns. Some are adjacent
to busy buildings and public places
such as bust stations. A person
with ulterior motive could leave
explosives in a dustbin adjacent to
a place like Kencom bus station and
detonate it when the human trac
around such vicinity is at its peak.
As a minimum, security guards
should be trained on detecting ex-
plosives alongside other weapons
before they are deployed.

Kenya can still prove fraud in the Anglo Leasing contracts
In the article Why we must pay Anglo Leasing
Mohamed Wehliye avers that Argentina is in trouble
for failure to pay vulture companies sovereign debt.
Yet the two cases are very dierent. Kenyas is an out
and out fraud by criminals hiding right here in our
civil service and among business people.
The international audit group PwC, contracted
in 2007 to look into how the fraud could be legally
terminated, noted that the AG had restricted the
lawyers from including in the defence, the evidence
of criminality and corruption. The FBI had also said
that Spacenet was just a briefcase company with no
ability to do any work. This report, too, was with-
drawn from being used in Kenyas defence. Finally,
Kenya refused to pay its lawyers who then withdrew.
Reports by PwC of 2007 supporting Kenyas case
were hidden from the lawyers for nine months and
rendered Kenyas case weak; the anti-graft commis-
sion refused to share evidence with the lawyers as did
the Defence ministry, the client.
The plan is to pay Sh1.4 billion so other litigants
may come forward and demand the Sh125 billion.
Kenya can still argue its case to prove fraud, crimi-
nality and corruption and the world will understand.
Who are these criminals threatening to sell our em-
bassies? Let us see them do it and the people will take
action, including demolitions of their property by the
people. International lenders will respect a country
that goes all the way to defend its tax payers.
KARIUKI MUIRI, Karatina
Lands Cabinet Secretary Char-
ity Ngilu is trying to clean the rot in
her ministry that has taken decades,
since independence to accumulate.
Her recent decision to close the
registries in Nairobi and Central for
10 days to allow proper audit of les
should not be criticised.
After all, the other ministry of-
cials cannot purport to be more
patriotic in serving the public than
Ngilu. Another area of concern that I
would like her to look into is the rel-
evance of a contentious form in the
registries titled name correction, a
form issued to people who want the
names appearing on a particular title
deed changed or corrected All title
deeds whose names have been cor-
rected should be reviewed.
AGGREY KULALI, Luanda
Ngilu trying to clean up
rot in Lands ministry
The demand for Ole Lenku to
resign over insecurity lacks empiri-
cal validity and is drawn on a sen-
sational desire to vilify the Cabinet
Secretary. Terrorism needs the par-
ticipation of every one to curb it, in-
cluding the international community.
Mr Lenku has no expertise to
evaluate on security matters, but has
a professional team under his belt,
which is, however, overwhelmed.
Kenyans need to encourage him as
he is not sleeping on the demanding
docket, but thinks on his feet.
Security starts with you and me.
Lets embrace the Nyumba Kumi
and police ourselves instead of cast-
ing aspersions on top civil servants.

On April 14, the militant group
Boko Haram stormed a school in Ni-
geria and kidnapped 270 girls. The
group is planning to sell the teenag-
ers for marriage.
There is little evidence that Ni-
gerias leadership is making eorts
to bring the girls to safety. That its
now weeks is testimony to the of-
cial incompetence, moral putrefac-
tion, and runaway sleaze that Africas
populous country has sunk into.
To be fair, the rivalry between the
Christian south and Muslim north
has been going on for a long time.
But the government of Nigeria cant
watch as the innocence of these girls
is taken away. Where is the outrage
from the international community?
JARED OLUOCH, Nairobi

HUMILIATING CHIEFS: I nd the
move by the Embu County Com-
missioner to sack a chief and his
assistant in public not only populist
but also backward. Gone are days
when the rights of any Kenyan were
abused without a thought. Did the
ocers get a chance to defend them-
selves? While not defending any
laxity in ghting the liquor menace,
I think shaming them in public was
not right. Due process should have
been followed and have them sacked
only when proved negligent. Even
the public should be reprimanded.

UNIVERSITY FEES: The plan by
the Commission for University
Education to raise fees for regular
university students is retrogressive
and would disadvantage thousands
of students. The majority of these
regular students come from ordinary
families and are already facing a
myriad of challenges. Increasing fees
would deny many the opportunity to
pursue higher learning. The govern-
ment should instead look for ways
of making university education free,
the way it used to be in the 1980s
and earlier.
PHILIP MBINDYO, Ukwala
WALL OFF SOMALIA: A lot of bil-
lions have been spent on the war on
terrorism and insecurity in Kenya
generally. Since it is presumed that
foreigners, especially the Somalis
(not our fellow Somali citizens) are
the ones causing all these, why cant
we use the billions being used by
KDF to erect an electric wall going
as deep as six feet and high enough
to prevent illegal immigrants? The
billions being spent can also be used
to build a road along the wall for bor-
der patrols. After that, we Kenyans
will go about our business, sure that
our borders are secure. In return,
ours will be a booming economy.

T
he National Land
Commission should
be dissolved for failing
to address thorny issues, ac-
cording to lobby groups.
The lobbyists say the
wrangles between Cabinet
Secretary Charity Ngilu and
NLC chairman Mohammed
Swazuri are slowing down
reforms in the land sector.
Yesterday, Mr Shamsan
Nagib of Kenya Land Alli-
ance proposed the formation
of a Peoples Land Commis-
sion to replace NLC as it
was incapable of addressing
the squatter problem.
Kenyans were tired of the
bickering between Mrs Ngilu
and Dr Swazuri (right), Mr
Nagib told a forum to debate
land reforms at Royal Court
Hotel in Mombasa.
He said the dispute had
hampered eorts to address
land problems in the coun-
try.
Community Bill
We want regulations and
the community Bill in place
and not Press statements
which dont oer solutions
to the major land problem.
Mr Nagib called for the
vetting of Ministry of Lands
sta to weed out corruption
that has aected land serv-
ices.
He accused the government
of protecting land grabbers
and lacking commitment to
sort out land conicts.
The government should
allocate the Lands authori-
ties adequate funds to enable
them to execute their man-
date. The Sh200 million
allocated is not sucient,
said Mr Nagib.
Ujamaa director Patrick
Ochieng said land problems
were political and should be
tackled politically.
We have a politician in
charge of the Lands docket.
This was done deliberately to
serve the interests of the po-
litical class and not the poor
squatters, Mr Ochieng said.
He urged NLC to publish the
land register in the media so
that title deed holders could
be known to the public.
He regretted that the com-
mission had failed to offer
guidance to the handling of
land grievances at the Coast
despite their unique nature.
The NLC should act on the
Truth, Justice and Reconcili-
ation Commission report on
land, Mr Ochieng said.
NLC deputy director of
land and administration Edith
Olando, however, said land re-
forms had started well because
the rst step was to implement
institutional development.
It has not been easy to do
so with the scarce resources
available while there was a need
to devolve services to the coun-
ties, Ms Olando said.

County administrations have been
cautioned against evicting public of-
cers from government houses.
County governments should follow
due process, Transition Authority
chairman Kinuthia Wamwangi said
yesterday.
TA takes cognisance of the fact
that county governments are in
need of housing. TA, however, cau-
tions against evicting the current
occupants of the government houses
without following the proper proce-
dures, said Mr Wamwangi (right) in
a press statement.
He urged the county and national
governments to maintain the status
quo until a criteria for transfer and
sharing of public assets and liabili-
ties was established through public
participation.
County or national government
agencies that wish to transfer public
assets during this transition period
should apply to TA in the prescribed
manner detailed in legal notice No 45
of 2013, said Mr Wamwangi.
He said housing was a shared
function between the two levels of
government, adding that TA had
already developed the criteria for
transfer and sharing of public assets
and liabilities and this would soon be
subjected to public participation.
He said the TA was compiling an
inventory of all government assets
and liabilities, including govern-
ment houses to provide clarity in
their transfer to either level of gov-
ernment.
TA in collaboration with the of-
ce of the Auditor General will be
auditing and verifying government
assets and liabilities as per the MoU
we entered into, he said.
The law only allows the transfer of
immovable assets with the approval
of the TA in consultation with the
National Treasury, Commission on
Revenue Allocation and Cabinet
secretaries responsible for mat-
ters relating to intergovernmental
relations and land, Mr Wamwangi
added.
Governors warned against evicting ocials in wrangle over houses

K
enya has made progress in
tackling maternal deaths,
moving 13 places up in
world rankings.
Kenya moved from position
156 to 143 out of the 178 coun-
tries ranked across the world,
according to Save the Childrens
15th Annual State of the Worlds
Mothers Report.
But Save the Children coun-
try director Duncan Harvey said
more needs to be done to reduce
maternal deaths.
Three-hundred babies con-
tinue to die in Kenya daily as a
result of preventable diseases.
This year is critical and eorts
need to be stepped up if the
country is to deliver on Millen-
nium Development Goal 4: to
reduce maternal deaths by two
thirds by 2015, said Mr Harvey
in a telephone interview.
Most of the preventable child
deaths are increasingly concen-
trated in conict-hit states. Six
of the bottom 10 countries
suffer from recurring natural
disasters.
In places aected by human
crises, the report says, most of
the child deaths occur due to the
crumbling infrastructure and
lack of basic health services or
skilled medical workers during
delivery.
Livelihoods are disrupted,
if not totally destroyed, and
mothers nd it impossible to
adequately feed and support
their families.
The mothers and their chil-
dren become more vulnerable
to risks of exploitation, sexual
abuse and physical danger, said
Mr Harvey.
The Mothers Index Rankings
were launched in 2000 and since
then the majority of the bottom
10 countries have been going
through or emerging from a
humanitarian crises.
Of the 28 countries that have
been ranked bottom, 27 are cur-
rent or former fragile states. All
but four have a recent history of
armed conict.
Basic human needs
Failure to address basic human
needs has been both a cause and
a consequence of conicts in
countries like the Central Africa
Republic, Somalia and Sudan.
This year, Somalia is the bot-
tom country in the rankings.
In the report, Finland is
rated as the best place to be a
mother.
In Africa, Ethiopia has shown
the most improvement in tack-
ling maternal deaths.
Mauritius tops in Africa and
is ranked 56 in the world.
Since 2000, Ethiopia has re-
duced the risk of maternal death
by nearly two-thirds (from 1 in
24 to 1 in 67), says the report
released on Tuesday.
Ethiopias Health Extension
Programme, which created ac-
cess to preventive services as
well as high impact curative
interventions at community
level, is one of the factors for
reducing maternal and child
deaths in the country.
The programme improves
access to medical services
by bridging the gap between
the community and hospitals
through the deployment of
more than 38,000 health ex-
tension workers.
According to the Save the Chil-
dren, the government has also
built 3,525 health centres and
16,048 posts to increase access
to essential services to communi-
ties across the country.
For women in Sub-Saharan
Africa, particularly West Africa,
giving birth is still likely to be
fatal for both the mother and
the child.
Women have a one in 39
chance of dying during preg-
nancy or childbirth.
In her lifetime, one Chad-
ian woman in 15 is likely to
die because of a pregnancy
complication, compared to one
Mauritian woman in 1,000.
And a child in Sierra Leone has
one chance in ve of not reaching
his or her fth birthday, whereas
for a Mauritian child, this risk is
one in 66.

safely, says report

A humanitarian crisis

The situation is putting a
strain on limited space and
other resources, including
food and water.
Turkana county com-

had exceeded its 100,000 ca-
pacity and it was necessary to
negotiate for more land with
the host community.
He said some of the South
Sudanese were moving from
Uganda, where they had
initially sought refuge, to
the camp.
The number of people
from South Sudan seeking
asylum hit the 36,000 mark
by yesterday.

leaders had already started
negotiations with residents
to acquire more land to ac-
commodate the foreigners.

that the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees
is aware of the situation at
the camp.
He said that water has
been scarce. Long queues
have become common at all
water points due to the high
population.
An official of the World

the food they have in their
stores is enough to feed the

Surgeon ned Sh100,000 for causing patients death
BY NATION

A surgeon was yesterday
ned Sh100,000 for causing
the death of a patient through
negligence.
The Kenya Medical Prac-
titioners and Dentists Board
sitting in Kiambu found
Patrick Kimpiatu guilty
of medical negligence and
mis-diagnosing Mr Henry
Gicheru, leading to his
death.
Led by County Health
secretary Jonah Mwangi,
the six-member board, in
which the chief executive
ocer Daniel Yumbya also
sat, ned Kikuyu Hospital
Sh250,000 payable within
the next 30 days.
Mr Gicheru was admitted
to the hospital on November
19, 2010, with a gunshot
wound where he died while
undergoing treatment.
His relatives complained to
the board which carried out
an inquiry to ascertain what
transpired in the service to
the patient.
Kimpiatu, who was the
leader of a team of doctors
handling the patient, and the
hospitals management were
put on their defence.
The correct treatment was
initiated, but inter-operatively,
the technical decisions were
wanting. Further findings
show that monitoring of the
patient in terms of laboratory
investigations and abdominal
girth measurement were
wanting, the ruling read.
The committee hereby
so orders Kikuyu Hospital
to pay a ne of Sh250,000
to the chairman of the board
within 30 days and furnish the
board with evidence of valid
professional indemnity cover
for the institution, practition-
ers and sta with 14 days.
Mr Yumba said there were

Amount in shillings the hos-

Family buries
wrong body
in mix-up
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Residents of Kodoyo village
in Homa Bay County are still in
shock after a mix-up at a mortu-
ary saw them collect and bury the
wrong body.
The body which they had all
along believed to be that of George
Aoko Lameck was exhumed min-
utes after the burial as police
officers watched. Lameck died
on April 24 and his body was at
the Homa Bay District Hospital
Mortuary.
When his relatives went to col-
lect it on Sunday, they were instead
allegedly given the body of a man
from Karachuonyo.
Mr Delvis Chwanya Osoti, 65,
and other relatives blamed the con-
fusion on mortuary attendants.
Mr Osoti told the Nation that
after they identied Lamecks body,
the mortuary attendants ordered
them to leave to give them room
to dress it up.
Lamecks son Charles Onyango
said mourners argued and diered
on the identity of the body when
the con was opened for viewing
at home. The body was interred
after those who claimed it was
Lamecks carried the day.
Mr Onyango said he was shocked
when he received a call from a mor-
tuary attendant.
I got shocked and even dis-
connected the call after he told
me that we had buried the wrong
body, he said.
The mortuary attendant ac-
companied by relatives of the man
they had buried and police ocers
arrived and demanded that they
exhume the body.
The body was taken back to the
mortuary where the family was
given Lamecks remains.
We did not waste any time and
buried the body in the same grave,
said Onyango.

will experience downpours
throughout this month, the
weatherman has said.
The forecast allays fears of drought,
especially in the Rift Valley region,
where farmers had began moving their
livestock in search of pasture.
Deputy Director of Meteorological
Services Stella Aura said yesterday
that the heavy rains pounding the
Coast and other parts of the coun-
try was expected to continue for the
next ve days.
At the same time, during this
period, Nairobi area, counties in high-
lands east of Rift Valley and Central
highlands will continue to experience
cloudy early mornings with light rains
accompanied by afternoon showers,
she said.
In a press statement, Ms Aura iden-
tied Kakamega, Bungoma, Vihiga,
Busia, Siaya, Kisumu, Kisii, Migori,
Nyamira, Kericho, Nandi, Mombasa,
Kili, Lamu and Kwale as some of
the areas that are likely to receive
near-normal rainfall. The rains are
expected to be heavier this month,
the statement said.
Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, West
Pokot, Baringo, Nakuru, Kajiado,
Nyandarua, Nyeri, Muranga, Ki-
ambu, Kirinyaga, Nairobi, Embu,
Meru and Tharaka Nithi are likely to
receive near-normal rainfall during
this month, she said.
The forecast came as the Provin-
cial Administration in three counties
were asked to quell growing tension
in Kerio Valley following impounding
of hundreds of livestock that had mi-
grated in search of pasture and water
due to drought.
More than 300 herders and their
families from Baringo and Pokot
Central had crossed Kerio River to
Marakwet East in search of water
and pasture.
The herders, mainly from
Koloa, Chemalingot and Loruk
locations, are said to have put up
manyattas in Sangutan along the
Embout and Embolot rivers in
Marakwet East where there is still
signicant pasture.
The herders said lack of water and
pasture for the animals had forced
them to migrate with the emaciated
livestock to Marakwet East.
However, they have been accused
of invading farms, causing tension in
the region.
Farmers in the region had threat-
ened to sell the impounded animals
to compensate for the damage to their
crops. But the herders have threat-
ened to retaliate should the farmers
sell their animals.

T
he government has been
asked to allocate funds
for the promotion of
domestic tourism.
This, according to Domes-
tic Tourism Association, will
cushion the sector during the
low foreign tourists season.
The associations chairper-
son, Ms Anastanzia Wakesho,
said domestic campaigns could
encourage more Kenyans to go
on holiday and overcome tour-
ist drought eects.
Ms Wakesho regretted
that domestic tourism had
not been given much atten-
tion by policy-makers and the
government despite having
the potential to turn around
the industry.
Over the years, she noted, tour-
ism marketers had been spending
huge amounts of funds on over-
seas marketing, yet the yields
cannot sustain the sector.
Time has come for the
authorities to give adequate
funds and support for mar-
keting domestic tourism to
motivate locals to go on va-
cation, Ms Wakesho said.
We need to come up with
policies which can motivate
Kenyans to sample local
tourist facilities to overcome
the challenge of empty beds
during low seasons.
Ms Wakesho said in a press
statement to the Nation that
the government and the con-
cerned parties should come up
with strategies to address the
eects of low season.
She said due to the low number
of international tourists, hotels
were struggling to stay aoat
while thousands of workers
no longer had means of liveli-
hoods.

A
parliamentary candidate
yesterday urged the Su-
preme Court to allow the
Mathare by-election to go on
as planned.
Mr Stephen Kariuki (ODM)
told the judges Mr George Wan-
johi was rigged in during last
years General Election.
Mr Kariuki, who had earlier
been declared winner, told
Chief Justice Willy Mutunga
and six other judges that
he was denied victory when
returning officer Miriam
Wanjiru changed the results
after conclusion of tallying at
the counting hall.
Mr Kariuki (above) had
been declared the winner of
Mathare parliamentary seat
and issued with a certicate
by Ms Wanjiru, lawyer Nelson
Havi told the judges.
He said IEBC had no legal
authority to cancel the certi-
cate it had issued Mr Kariuki
declaring him as the validly
elected MP for Mathare on
March 6, 2013.
He said Mr Wanjohi filed
a petition at the High Court,
which he did not pursue after
being issued with a certicate
by IEBC.
Mr Havi said the tables were
turned when Ms Wanjiru cor-
rected the results entered
in Form-36 by retallying all
Forms-35 in the absence of
polling agents.
But lawyers Harrisson Kin-
yanjui for the MP and Paul
Nyamodi for IEBC asked the
court to set aside the appeal
judgement which cancelled the
election of Mr Wanjohi.
The judges extended orders
blocking IEBC from conduct-
ing a by-election on June 3.
They will give a notice when
to deliver their judgement.

go on, judges told

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Election results of Kuria West in
Migori County were announced a
day before Mr Uhuru Kenyatta was
sworn-in as the President, the su-
preme court heard.
Asking Chief Justice Willy
Mutunga and six other judges of
highest court to dismiss the appeal
led by Governor Okoth Obado,
lawyer Stephen Mwenesi said the
late publication of the results was
a major election malpractice.
Mr Mwenesi said the court of ap-
peal was quite right in referring the
poll dispute back to the voters to
decide who between Mr Obado and
Professor Edward Akongo Oyugi
should be their governor.
The late announcement of
the results from Kuria West Con-
stituency denied Prof Oyugi the
opportunity to know the exact
number of votes he had scored
in the gurbernatorial race, the
judges heard.
They were informed the late
publication of the results disen-
franchised the runners-up in the
governors poll.
Mr Mwenesi said the results were
published by the Kuria West return-
ing ocer Adan Ali Mohammed a
month after the conclusion of the
general elections.

N
zoia Sugar Company is
reeling under a debt of
more than Sh32 billion,
the Public Investments Com-
mittee was told yesterday.
Kenya National Audit o-
cials told the committee that,
going by the cost of operations,
the factory was cash-strapped
and had not been in a position
to break even and was unlikely
to do so in the near future.
They told PIC that the sugar
rm owes Sh11 billion as out-
standing loans, Sh8 billion
as interest on the loans and
another Sh12 billion in other
debts.
The farmers who supply the
factory with sugar cane are
owed Sh430 million among
other debts. The details of
the rms precarious nancial
position were laid out before
a meeting scheduled with the
managing director and the top
management, who showed up
late.
PIC chairman Adan Keynan
said the team wants to nd
out what contributed to this
mess.
We have a company right
now that has a debt portfolio
of about 32 billion shillings,
said Mr Keynan.
The auditors said the Kenya
Sugar Board and the National
Treasury lent the sugar rm
Sh554 million and Sh980 mil-
lion respectively. It then took
Sh9.8 billion loans guaranteed
by the government.
The rst of these debts was
taken in 1981.
Mr Keynan said the com-
mittee would visit the factory
and then organize meetings
with the KSB, managements
of Nzoia factory and West
Kenya Sugar Company.
The chairman said West
Kenya is accused of stealing
cane from Nzoia, depriving
the rm of the opportunity to
make sugar, and farmers the
chance to make money o their
produce.
Somewhere along the line
West Kenya was formed and
now there are accusations of
sugar poaching, said Mr Key-
nan, the MP for Eldas.
But Mr Francis Nyenze
(Kitui West) said that poach-
ing was not the problem.

that CAJ should only be al-
lowed to take part in the case
if it is not going to take sides
but sticks to interpreting what

ing the decision on Wamboras

Mr Francis Nyamu, the law-
yer for Mr Wambora, asked the

ing that the Senate had not
responded to the case despite

evant documents.

T
wenty years after South
Africans of all colours
wowed the world by voting
to end apartheid, they shrugged
o sporadic violence and ocked
to the polls yesterday for another
landmark election.
The African National Congress
(ANC) of liberation icon Nelson
Mandela is expected to win a fth
term in power, but the election is
being closely watched for the votes
of the born frees and expected
gains by parties to both the left
and right.
Some 25 million voters were
registered for the elections, still
determined to exercise their hard-
won freedom at more than 22,000
polling centres despite mounting
anger over joblessness, inequality
and corruption.
People died for this right. They
must not waste it, said Nobel peace
laureate Desmond Tutu, a libera-
tion struggle veteran who has said
openly he will not vote for the ANC
this time.
But, referring to unrest in coun-
tries such as Ukraine and South
Sudan he added: Im so glad we
can still vote relatively peacefully.
Wonderful.
The eve of the ballot was marred
by some isolated incidents of vio-
lence, with police and 1,850 troops
deployed to several areas to keep
order.In Bekkersdal near Soweto,
protesters threw rocks at police
vehicles and set re to a polling
station. But an umbrella group
of police, military and election
authorities said in a statement
that the election nationally was
proceeding smoothly.
And in Bekkersdal, residents
vowed not to be dissuaded from
voting. They poured into the town-
ships 15 polling centres, many on
foot and some pushed in wheel-
chairs and wheelbarrows.
Casting his ballot in his home
village of Nkandla, President Jacob
Zuma expressed hope that all vot-
ers will cast their votes without any
problems because this is our right,
which we fought for.
The 72-year-old president said he
expected the results will be very
good but conceded the election
campaign had been very chal-
lenging. The ANC is expected to
win more than 60 per cent of the
popular vote, but it is also likely to
see its share of the vote slide for a
second successive election.
Zuma has been a lightning rod
for criticism of the ANC and has
been pilloried for the government
spending $23 million (17 million
euros) of taxpayers money to
upgrade his private home.
But a ve-year presidency may
have taken pretty much from Jacob
Zumas credibility, but certainly lit-
tle, if anything from his dancing
and singing prowess. The 72-year
old Zuma still sings powerfully and
cuts a graceful gure on the dance
arena, much to the joy and applause
of his ANC adherents.
And this. even Zumas most
avid critics do seem to recognise,
hence their new-found line that the
South African President often times
sings to work up crowds because
of his inability to articulate issues
to them.
Zuma expected to win but
analysts say opposition
will gain more seats in rst
elections that the born free
generation is participating

in New York
T
he United States has im-
posed sanctions on two
military leaders in South
Sudan as the countrys rebel
leader agreed to hold direct
talks with the President.
The US sanctions targeted
Peter Gadet, a commander
of rebel forces, and Marial
Chanuong, commander of
the governments presiden-
tial guard.
The two men are re-
sponsible for perpetrating
unthinkable violence against
civilians, Secretary of State
John Kerry said.
He explained that Major-
General Chanuong is being
hit with financial sanctions
for leading attacks on civil-
ians in Juba.
South Sudanese soldiers
massacred up to 300 Nuer
men in Jubas Gudele district
on December 19 of last year,
Human Rights Watch has
reported.
Secretary Kerry added
that Gen Gadet, a defector
from the South Sudan army,
is being targeted for leading
anti-government forces in the
April 17 attack on Bentiu that
killed more than 200 civilians.
Most of the victims were re-
ported to be Dinka.
The Obama administrations
action, which bars US compa-
nies from doing business with
Maj Gen Chanuong and Gen
Gadet, serves to heighten pres-
sure on Kenya and other East
African countries to impose
similar sanctions.
US ocials who accompa-
nied Secretary Kerry on his
visit to South Sudan last week
suggested that sanctions on
South Sudanese gures would
be more eective if also levied
by Kenya and other neigh-
bouring states. Some South
Sudanese responsible for fo-
menting violence are known
to own property in Kenya,
Uganda and Ethiopia, a US
ocial noted last week.
And even if Kenya does not
impose sanctions, financial
transactions conducted in
another African country by
the targeted South Sudanese
might involve a US institution
and could thus be blocked, a
US ocial noted.
The US also warned on
Tuesday that sanctions
against other prominent g-
ures in South Sudan may be
forthcoming.
A statement by UN Ambas-
sador Samantha Power hinted
that President Salva Kiir and
rebel chief Riek Machar might
be next.
South Sudans president and
rebel chief will meet for direct
talks Friday in Ethiopia in a
bid to stem a brutal civil war,
mediators from the bloc of re-
gional nations yesterday.

Two charged under Uganda gay law
Kampala, Wednesday
Two men accused of having homosexual sex
appeared before a Ugandan court Wednesday,
the rst to face trial since the adoption of tough
anti-gay laws, their lawyer said.
Kim Mukisa and Jackson Mukasa, who ap-
peared in the court in the capital Kampala, are
both expected to plead not guilty.
Previous cases have been dropped because
of a lack of evidence, but defence lawyer Fridah
Mutesi said the prosecution says it has witnesses
and wants to proceed.
President Yoweri Museveni in February signed
a bill that calls for repeat homosexuals to be
jailed for life, outlaws the promotion of homo-
sexuality and obliges people to denounce gays
to the authorities.
The law drew international condemnation,
with US Secretary of State John Kerry likening
it to anti-Semitic legislation in Nazi Germany.
However, the two men were arrested in Janu-
ary under the old laws.
Lawyers say both are expected to be later
released on bail, with a date for trial to be set
later. Critics have said Museveni signed the law
to win domestic support ahead of a presidential
election scheduled for 2016, which will be his
30th year in power.
Several countries cut donor funding to east
Africa after the law was assented to.Other coun-
tries have also opposed homosexuality in Africa.
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has lashed
out at Europes homo - sexual nonsense and
condemned the refusal of its leaders to accept
his administration in his latest marathon tirade

Belgium releases Burundi opposition leader wanted at home
Brussels, Wednesday
Belgian authorities have released
a prominent Burundian opposition
leader who had been detained at the
airport last week while he was on
route to Italy.
Alexis Sinduhije, a former journalist,
activist and leader of the Movement for
Solidarity and Development (MSD),
was allowed to leave the airport de-
tention centre on Tuesday following
a Belgian court decision to suspend
his arrest.
Sinduhije, one of the most outspo-
ken opponents of Burundis President
Pierre Nkurunziza(left), had been
detained on Thursday after ying in
from Chad.
My client was truly happy with
the outcome, said Sinduhijes law-
yer Bernard Maingain, describing
his clients detention as the result of
an excess of zeal on the part of a
Belgian ocial.
Sinjuhije had already been ques-
tioned on his arrival in Brussels on
Thursday and was found to be holding
a valid French visa, Maingain said.
Sinduhije is wanted in Burundi in
connection with a protest in March
which turned violent and led to the
arrest of dozens of opposition mem-
bers. He has been on the run from
police since the clashes and faces life
in prison if caught.
Pancrace Cimpaye, an MSD spokes-
man in Burundi, described the release
as a great victory for Alexis Sinduhije
and the Burundian opposition.
Sinduhije left the airport at around
10.30 pm last night to spend the night
in downtown Brussels. He will now
continue his European tour and he is
now free to move. (AFP)

A
n attack by Boko Haram
Islamists in a northeastern
Nigerian town on the Cam-
eroon border has killed hundreds
of people, a local senator and wit-
nesses said yesterday.
Senator Ahmed Zanna added
that the town of Gamboru Ngala
had been left unguarded because
the soldiers based there to pro-
tect the population had been
redeployed north towards Lake
Chad in an eort to rescue more
than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped
by Boko Haram on April 14.
The Nigerian government also
oered a reward of$300,000 yes-
terday for information leading to
the rescue of the girls being held
hostage bythe islamists.
The Nigeria police hereby an-
nounce a cash reward of 50 million
naira to anyone who volunteers
credible information that will lead
to the location and rescue of the
female students abducted from
Government Girls Secondary
School, Chibok, Borno State, a
statement said, referring to the
April 14 mass abduction claimed
by the Islamist extremists.
The United States has sent
military experts to Nigeria to
help rescue hundreds of school-
girls kidnapped by Boko Haram
Islamists three weeks ago, amid
growing global pressure over
their fate.
US President Barack Obama
made the announcement as it
emerged that 11 more girls had
been kidnapped late Sunday
three more than originally
thought in the countrys res-
tive northeast.
Obama said the original abduc-
tion of more than 220 girls aged
between 16 and 18 was heart-
breaking and outrageous, and
urged global action against the ex-
tremists whose ve-year uprising
has killed thousands.
The rst group of girls were
taken from their school in the
Chibok area of northeastern
Borno state on April 14.
Speaking to US broadcaster
ABC on Tuesday, Obama said:
Its a heartbreaking situation,
outrageous situation.
And yesterday, leaders reported
that gunmen riding in armoured
vehicles and motorcycles stormed
the town on Monday and razed
much of the area.
Residents said survivors ed
when the attack began, with the
insurgents ring on civilians as
they tried to run to safety into
Cameroon.
Casualty gures had remained
unclear in the hours after the at-
tack because the town had been
overrun by extremist ghters and
it was not possible to return to
assess the loss of life, witnesses
had previously told AFP.
I have been in constant touch
with Gamboru (Ngala), Zanna
said. From information reach-
ing me from the town, the death
toll from the attack is around 300,
he added.
All economic and business cen-
tres have been burnt. The market
in the town which attracts traders
from all over the area...has been
completely burnt, he added.
The senators claim that the
military had been redeployed from
the town in search of the missing
girls could not be immediately
conrmed by the military, which
has not responded to repeated
calls and text messages seeking
comment on the attack.
The mass abduction has shocked
Nigerians and sparked global out-
rage. Speaking by phone from
Gamboru Ngala, resident Musa
Abba told AFP that the town was
littered with more than 100 dead
bodies, adding that the search was
continuing. (AFP)

Bangkok, Wednesday
T
hailands Constitutional
Court dismissed Prime
Minister Yingluck
Shinawatra and several of her
ministers for abuse of power
yesterday, a ruling that threat-
ens to unleash a new wave of
political unrest.
The cabinet swiftly appointed
a deputy premier-Niwattum-
rong Boonsongpaisan-as her
replacement, as the ruling party
struggled to regain its footing
after the judicial blow.
Earlier decisions
The court, which has played
a key role in deposing Shina-
watra-linked governments in
recent turbulent years, ruled
unanimously that Yingluck
acted illegally by transferring
a top security ocial in 2011.
Therefore her prime minis-
ter status has ended... Yingluck
can no longer stay in her posi-
tion acting as caretaker prime
minister, presiding judge
Charoon Intachan said in a
televised ruling. Nine cabinet
ministers who endorsed the
decision to transfer Thawil
Pliensri were also stripped of
their status. But Niwattumrong,
who is also commerce minister,
was quickly promoted to the
role of caretaker premier, said
Phongthep Thepkanjana, an-
other deputy prime minister.
Ruling party ocials vowed
to press ahead with a planned
July 20 election to establish a
new government. But that poll
date has yet to be endorsed by
a royal decree.
The court ruling plunges
Thailand deeper into a
prolonged political crisis.
Anti-government protesters
are still on Bangkoks streets
and Yinglucks Red Shirt sup-
porters also threaten to rally
to defend her, raising fears of
clashes.
Jubilant anti-government
demonstrators blew whistles
outside the court to mark
her removal, a key demand
of their movement, which is
seeking to curb the inuence
of Yinglucks billionaire brother
Thaksin Shinawatra, who lives
oversees to avoid jail for cor-
ruption convictions.
But he is accused of running
the country by proxy through
his sister.(AFP)

Kiev, Wednesday
U
krainian government
forces have retaken the
city hall in the south-
eastern port of Mariupol
from pro-Russia separatists,
ocials say.
The Kiev interior ministry
says rebels who had seized the
building last week have left,
but some local reports later
said they were attempting
to return. Pro-Russia sepa-
ratists have captured ocial
buildings in dozens of towns
in eastern Ukraine in recent
weeks.
The Kiev government has
sent troops to restore its
authority. Ukrainian Inte-
rior Minister Arsen Avakov
said government troops had
taken over Mariupol city hall
following a joint operation by
ministry troops and the army
early on Wednesday.
Minister detained
Mr Avakov told the BBC
that several people had
been detained, including
the defence minister of the
separatist Donetsk Peoples
Republic, Igor Kakidzyanov.
The BBCs Richard Galpin
in eastern Ukraine says this
is potentially a significant
step as Mariupol is an im-
portant city in an industrial
heartland.
However Ukraines Channel
5 TV later reported that some
rebels had regrouped and
marched on the building.
A local website said Ukrain-
ian troops eventually left and
Russian and rebels hoisted
Donetsk Peoples Republic
ags outside the building.
There were also reports
of clashes in the separatist
stronghold of Sloviansk, as
Ukrainian troops advanced
on rebel positions.
The Kiev government says
14 Ukrainian soldiers have
been killed and 66 wounded
since the start of its operation
in the east last month. Russia
rejected a new peace initiative
for Ukraine on Tuesday as
fears of open war mounted
in the ex-Soviet republic,
whose troops are waging a
deadly oensive against pro-
Moscow rebels.
French President Francois
Hollande and German Foreign
Minister Frank-Walter Stein-
meier added their voices to the
chorus warning that skirmish-
ing in the east of the country
could trigger a civil war.

Spouses of foreign US workers to receive work visas
The United States will soon
start issuing work visas to the
spouses of some foreign work-
ers as part of a drive to retain
highly skilled people.
The change will affect
the spouses of people with
so-called H-1B visas, a lim-
ited-term working visa that
employees obtain when they
are sponsored by their com-
panies.
As it stands now, their
spouses only get a depend-
ent H-4 visa which allows
them to live in the US but
not to work.
When spouses cannot work
foreign families tend not to
settle in the United States,
depriving it of many workers
highly skilled in science and
technology.
Under the changes, spouses
of people with H-1B visas who
have applied for permanent
residency green cards can
also apply for permission
to work. The proposals an-
nounced today will encourage
highly skilled, specially trained
individuals to remain in the
United States and continue
to support US businesses
and the growth of the US
economy, said Deputy Sec-
retary of Homeland Security
Alejandro Mayorkas.
The fact is, we must do

A Chinese man has died

experts said.
Tests showed the 49-year-

The patient had been ex-
posed to dead poultry and was

adding that authorities said
people who had close con-
tact with him have shown no
symptoms.
Experts believe the infec-
tion is an individual case and

strain has been used for a vac-

PETROLEUM OUTLETS FOUND OFFERING FOR SALE ADULTERATED OR EXPORT
MOTOR FUELS IN THE MONTHS OF FEBRUARY, MARCH AND APRIL 2014.
The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) is established under the Energy Act, No 12 of 2006 (the Act) as the energy sector
regulatory agency, with responsibility for economic and technical regulation of electric power, renewable energy and downstream
petroleum sub-sectors.
Section 95 of the Energy Act prohibits the storage, transportation and/or sale within Kenya of petroleum products that do not conform
to the Kenya Standard or of adulterated petroleum products. The section also prohibits the sale within Kenya of petroleum products
intended for export.
ERC runs a program of continuous monitoring of the quality of petroleum motor fuels being sold throughout the country. During the

errorism and delayed rains are
expected to hit commercial banks
protability, with a notable increase
in default in loan repayments.
According to the 2014 rst quarter Credit
Survey Report released yesterday, the Central
Bank of Kenya says majority of banks expect
an increase in the stock of non-performing
loans (NPL) due to delayed repayment in
agriculture and tourism sectors.
The expected increase of NPLs in the agri-
culture sector may be explained by reduction
in tea prices arising from over production
and glut in the market, and the prevailing
delayed onset of long rains (MarchMay
2014), which may result in food shortage,
the CBK report for the three-month period
ending March 2014, says.
Last year, NPL stock stood at 30.9 per
cent due to high cost of living and interest
rates.
The report further indicates: The cur-
rent spate of insecurity in the country may
be linked to an expected increase in NPLs
in the tourism sector, while high interest
rates are expected to impact negatively on
real estate sector.
Analysts say the slowdown in the two sec-
tors will have a signicant impact on the
economy. The impact is signicant given
that tourism and agriculture are the back-
bone of Kenyas economy. But, should the
rains come as expected, then the impact may
be lessened in the agriculture sector, NIC
Securities business development manager
Samuel Gichohi said on phone.
Agriculture contributes 25.3 per cent to the
gross domestic product (GDP), according
to the 2014 Economic Survey. Tourism, on
the other hand, is a leading foreign exchange
cost of electricity through use of geothermal
sources, which oer cheaper energy.
The majority of banks also intend to inten-
sify recovery eorts in six sectors, namely:
agriculture, building, trade, transport, real
estate and personal/household sectors to
improve the overall quality of their asset
portfolio, while maintaining recovery eorts
in the other ve economic sectors.
The transport sector, for instance, is al-
ready feeling the impact of strict rules that
include a ban on night travel.
In the period under review, combined in-
dustry pre-tax prots rose by 18.4 per cent to
Sh33.4 billion, compared with Sh28.2 billion
for the quarter ended March 2013.
earner for the country.
Earlier, the National Cereals and Produce
Board (NCPB) acting managing director
Cornel Ngelechey said there could be crop
failure this year should the long rains pro-
jected to start earlier than usual fail.
The tourism sector is also reeling from
terrorist-related insecurity cases that have
seen the number of visitors to Kenya dwin-
dle, aecting overall earnings .
Banks, however, expect bad loans to drop
in the energy and water sectors. They an-
ticipate recovery eorts in the two sectors

Lets reduce
trade barriers,
Uhuru tells
Abuja panel
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Kenya has called on African
countries to work together in
lifting trade barriers across the
continent.
Speaking during a panel dis-
cussion at the World Economic
Forum on Africa, President Uhuru
Kenyatta said this would help the
continent achieve its development
goals, adding that imposing sti
regulations and cumbersome visa
requirements to African investors
slows down growth.
Lack of political will and
negative perception should not
be allowed to undermine Africas
integration and economic growth,
President Kenyatta said.
Bilateral agreements
The World Economic Forum on
Africa opened yesterday in the Ni-
gerian capital of Abuja.
President Kenyatta is in Abuja
for a three-day state visit, during
which Kenya and Nigeria will
sign several bilateral agreements
on trade and investment.
As the current chair of the East
African Community, President
Kenyatta shared with the panel
the various steps the region has
taken to improve trade among
member states.
The achievements include in-
troduction of a single tourist visa,
which, for instance, encourages
free trade within EAC, and use of
national IDs in the region, which
eases cross-border trade.
Speaking during the forum,
Rwandas President Paul Kagame
praised President Kenyattas ef-
forts, saying that opening up
countries for intra-African trade
has many benets.
Malian Prime Minister Moussa
Mara urged other African coun-
tries to emulate EACs eorts to
facilitate free movement, hence
promote trade.
The session was moderated by
African Development Bank Presi-
dent Donald Kaberuka.
BY NATION REPORTER
The ministry of Energy and Petro-
leum has set up a training programme
for government agencies involved in
the oil and gas industry.
According to Energy and Petroleum
Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir,
the Kenya Petroleum Technical As-
sistance Programme (Keptap) will
provide training on oil exploration
and production.
We have taken advantage of the
existing window of time prior to
commencement of production to
implement the necessary reforms in
order to have the prerequisite capacity
in the country, said Mr Chirchir in a
statement issued in Nairobi.
The programme targets ocials
in the ministries of Energy, Devolu-
tion and Planning, and the National
Treasury.
Other beneciaries will include the
State Law Oce, National Oil Corpo-
ration of Kenya, the Kenya Revenue
Authority, Kenya National Audit
Office, the National Environment
Management Authority and depart-
ments of safety and health in the
ministries of Health and Labour.
They will be trained on formula-
tion and drafting of a comprehensive
petroleum policy, geo-technical data
acquisition, processing and interpreta-
tion, oil revenue administration and
revenue saving mechanisms and
stimulation of local skills development
to ll skills gaps through technical
college support.
The programme will also focus on
development of a communications
strategy to create awareness for man-
aging expectations and formulation of
a structure for relaying information
on petroleum operations.
The petroleum industry has been
growing steadily since the rst discov-
ery of oil was made in March 2012.
Increased interest in the sector
following the discovery, according
to experts, calls for a review of ex-
isting legislation to secure maximum
revenue for the government.
The current Petroleum (Produc-
tion and Exploration) Act, which
dates back to 1986, has often been
the focus of discussions on how well
the country is prepared to deal with
a boom in the sector.
Completion of the ongoing law
review is expected to guide alloca-
tion of oil and gas exploration blocs,
according to the Energy ministry.

Sameer Africas prot after tax doubles to Sh401m
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Sameer Africas prot after
tax for the year ending De-
cember 2013, has more than
doubled as a result of increased
exports and cheaper raw ma-
terials.
The tyre manufacturer
posted Sh401.1 million in 2013,
compared with Sh188 million
recorded over a similar period
last year.
Sales volumes grew 16 per
cent as the rm shifted to the
export market following a
decline in government pur-
chases that were disrupted by
devolution.
Good performance
Favourable prices of raw
material also majorly contrib-
uted to the good performance
as input costs reduced by 18
per cent in 2013, said manag-
ing director Allan Walmsley.
The move to the devolved
system of governance led to a
severe liquidity crunch from
June 2013, reducing sales to the
central government by Sh250
million. Local competition is
also heightening as imports
from Asia ood the country,
taking a 60 per cent share of
the market.
Local market
We have 330 importers and
China alone has over 250 tyre
manufacturing companies that
seem to be taking much of the
local market share due to lower
prices, said Mr Walmsley.
The competition forced the
company to cut its prices by an
average 13 per cent last year.
To reduce production costs
per unit so as to stay ahead, the
rm is sourcing a technical and
equity partner to modernise its
machinery.
Negotiations are still at
preliminary stages and I can-
not disclose the partner until
we make good progress, said
the managing director.

ules to guide deployment
of the high Internet
speed networks are ex-
pected to be ready by July.
In an interview with the
Daily Nation, Information
and Communication Cabinet
Secretary Fred Matiangi said
the rules published in March
would complete the process
of public participation and
get Cabinet approval before
the end of June. They will be
gazetted by July.
As soon as we are done
with public consultation, we
will have stakeholder meetings;
something we must do before
the end of this month. Then
we will forward the guidelines
to the Cabinet.
By the next nancial year,
which starts in two months, we
must have something in place,
said Mr Matiangi.
Partnerships
The models for rolling out
high speed broadband Internet
include State-led partnerships
with the private sector.
Once implemented, these
regulations are expected to
show the way forward on roll-
out of high-speed networks
such as Longterm Evolution
Networks (LTE) also known
as 4G.
Plans to build LTE infra-
structure have stalled since last
year, after the government went
back to the drawing board on
the model.
Initially, it had been planned
that a consortium of telecom
rms and infrastructure provid-
ers would build the network.
The guidelines will also
provide much needed clarity
to potential investors in the
telecommunication sector.
Waiting for guidance
In an interview two weeks
ago, Chinese technology rm
ZTE said it was waiting for
guidance on LTE before mak-
ing its investment decisions.
The government is not clear
on how to go on LTE. We would
be quite interested in rolling
out LTE in Kenya, said Mr
Thomas Yang, ZTE Kenyas
deputy chief executive for
government and enterprise
business.
Last year, Safaricom asked
the government to free up the
spectrum needed for a 4G
network.
At the time, the company
said if given the spectrum, it
would provide free Internet to
schools.
However, the roll-out of 4G is
pegged on Kenyas digital mi-
gration, which is expected to
free up the needed spectrum.

anzania and Burundi are set to
join an initiative by the other
the East African countries to
abolish roaming rates for calls made
within the region.
The move was initiated by Kenya,
Rwanda, Uganda and South Sudan at
the fth infrastructure summit held in
Nairobi last week, and will see citizens
make cross-border calls at the same
price they pay locally.
In an interview, Information Com-
munication and Technology Cabinet
Secretary Fred Matiangi said that
while he was yet to hold a meeting
with his counterparts from Tanzania
and Burundi, there were indications
that the two countries would join the
initiative geared towards boosting
economic integration.
I will have meetings with both of
them in the next few weeks to formal-
ise the discussions but all indications
are that they will join the single net-
work. The high cost of calling across
the region is a concern for everyone,
not just those along the Northern
Corridor, Mr Matiangi said.
The agreement was signed by
Presidents Kenyatta, Yoweri Musev-
eni, Paul Kagame and South Sudans
Salva Kiir.
For the rst time, Tanzania was
present at the summit represented
by Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda
while Burundi was represented
by Second Vice-President Irgervais
Rufyikiri.
The summit had been dubbed the
Coalition of the Willing as a result
of Tanzanias apparent reluctance to
actively participate in regional inte-
gration eorts.
The ICT ministers have up to De-
cember 31 to establish a regulatory
framework that will enable the im-
plementation of the single network
area project.
The decision will be discussed by
regulators and operators during an up-
coming conference for all the network
operators in East Africa in Kigali.
Calling rates in the region have
been a bone of contention for busi-
nesses, as taxes and fees mean that it
is cheaper, for instance, for a Kenyan
to make a call to the United Kingdom
than to any of the other East African
countries.

T

Forum on Africa kicked
o in Abuja today in the
shadow of security fears and
mounting global concern
about the plight of more than
200 schoolgirls abducted by
Islamist militants.
The showcase regional
conference, dubbed Africas
Davos, is meant to turn the
spotlight on the host nation,
which recently became the
continents largest economy
and promote it as a place to
do business and reflect its
growing global clout.
Instead, the build-up has
been dominated by the 223
girls still missing after being
abducted in the remote north-
eastern town of Chibok three
weeks ago by Boko Haram
ghters. The group have since
threatened to sell the girls as
slave brides.
Boko Haram, which has
been waging an increasingly
deadly insurgency in Niger-
ias north since 2009, is also
blamed for twin car bomb at-
tacks that ripped through the
same Abuja suburb on April 14
and on Thursday.
Security has been stepped
up to ensure a hitch-free con-
ference for the visiting foreign
dignitaries, including Chinese
premier Li Keqiang, and more
than 1,000 captains of indus-
try and opinion-formers from
around the world.
Cars have been prevented
from driving up to the termi-
nal at Abujas international
airport and checkpoints set
up on routes into and out of
the city.
The conference venue
itself has been surrounded
by a ring of steel and from
today to Friday, all govern-
ment oces and schools will
be closed in Abuja.
Today, Wednesday, is
largely taken up with closed-
doors meetings before a full
programme tomorrow and
Friday on the theme: How
to ensure that more Africans
share the fruits of economic
growth and job creation.
Growth overall in Africa is
expected to top 5.0 per cent
this year but long-standing
problems such as poverty
and wealth inequality per-
sist, blighting the potential
of the continents young
population.
Trickle-down eect
Nigeria, for example, has ac-
knowledged that there needs
to be a trickle-down eect
of wealth, as the majority of
citizens still live in poverty
despite the countrys status
as a leading oil producer and
exporter.
Mass unemployment in the
impoverished north and social
deprivation and inequality
have been seen as a recruiting
tool for Boko Haram and their
bloody campaign to create a
hardline Islamic state.
Security and prosperity, as
well as issues on improving
governance and institutions
also persistent themes in
Africa are among the topics
to be discussed. (AFP)

China oil rig move provocative, US warns
WASHINGTON, Wednesday
The United States on
Tuesday warned China that a
decision to move a deep-sea
oil rig into disputed waters
in the South China Sea was
a provocative step which it
was monitoring closely.
Were looking carefully into
this matter, State Department
deputy spokeswoman Jen Psaki
said on Tuesday.
Given the recent history of
tensions in the South China
Sea, Chinas decision to oper-
ate its oil rig in disputed waters
is provocative and unhelpful to
the maintenance of peace and
stability in the region.
Vietnam has labeled Chi-
nas decision illegal and
demanded the rig be with-
drawn.
The China Maritime Safety
Administration issued a uni-
lateral navigational warning
on its website saying the rig
would be drilling in the South
China Sea close to the Paracel
Islands.
These islands are control-
led by China but claimed by
Vietnam.
Ms Psaki said the renewed
regional tensions highlighted
the need for claimants to
clarify their claims in ac-
cordance with international
law and reach an agreement
about the activities that should
be permissible within disputed
areas.

news your way, perhaps an assignment or
new contract or a deal you cant refuse.
As this Eclipse is in Taurus, there is a very
fertile, lucrative energy to commitments and
interactions.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
This Eclipse acts like a turbocharged New
Moon to boost your money sector into being
more productive. You may experience one or
two ups and downs in the process, but youll
appreciate why this was necessary further down
the line.Later, Venus enters your sign to enhance
romance in a ery and passionate way.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
You might need to Part Company with situations
and, in some cases, relationships that no longer
serve you. The upside of this is that youll have
plenty of space for all the new and exciting
things coming your way. On another note,
romance has a spicy, pleasantly intense quality.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
This can be good week for meditation and, in
particular, spiritual practices such as yoga, tai chi,
or other body-based disciplines that can help
you feel centered and poised. Later, Venus hikes
in to give your social sector a lively boost. Its
time for some exciting love adventures!
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
This week a Solar Eclipse in your social sector
could spark a connection that has special
potential for both of you. Its also possible that
youll need to make a key decision to unlock the
creative possibilities in a partnership.
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
A desire to explore new options may be oset
by a need to get your bearings. Recent dynamic
activity may have left you feeling a little shell-
shocked. This week you get a chance to assess
your priorities and make a plan that can help you
forge ahead in the coming months.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
Although its still appropriate to expect the
unexpected after last weeks run of dynamic
aspects, you can now begin to explore inspiring
ways to achieve nancial stability and even
independence. Along with this, a Solar Eclipse
might entice you to consider travel or study
plans.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
While last week could have been a bit of a shock,
this week brings the opportunity to stabilize
your thinking and start planning. A Solar Eclipse
in your sensitive Eighth House could trigger
opportunities for a positive business partnership
or lucrative deal.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
If youre in an unstable situation, you may be
looking for more security, which might prompt
changes to a key partnership. If your relationship
is largely positive, you can work through this
and come out stronger. However, if youve been
aware of cracks in the walls for some time, you
might decide to call it quits.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
Theres also positive news on the work front, as
changes could mean a boost in earnings or a
promotion. If youve been applying for a new job,
you might get some good news. Later, romance
and pleasure opportunities look much livelier.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
Passion could develop fairly quickly should
you nd yourself falling in love, but dont rush!
Entering a relationship at the time of an Eclipse
can be tricky business because you never know
where it might lead.

Today we take time to stop and reect; to
honour a life well lived. Father, mothers,
brothers and sisters, we implore you, let us
not with heavy hearts or eyes swelling with
bitter tears mark this day. Rather let us be
jovial in celebrating Gods gracious gift, our
beloved father (Papa/Kuka), Jairus.
Indeed, the passing of a loved one is never
timely. However, we faithfully accept
that Gods perfect will and timing reign
supreme. Papa, we can condently proclaim
that you adequately fullled your role as a
loving husband, father, grandfather, son and
friend. You gave your sons and daughters
a great standard to strive towards. A
daunting task they boldly take on today
with honour.
It has been stated that, In the end, its not the years in your life that count, but rather,
the life in your years. Papa, you truly made everyday count.
We miss you, we love you, but most importantly, we thank God for your time with
us, for the memories we made.
We would like to deeply appreciate our family members, friends, the church,
abalakayi and all those who have stood by us since we lost our beloved one. God
bless you.
Dearly missed by your wife mama Phelesia, children, grandchildren, great
grandchildren and friends.

The fate of contracted cricket
players in the country will be known
after a Cricket Kenya board meeting
expected to be held before the end
of the month.
The CK had placed 20 players on
contracts of which 12 have already
expired, rendering the aected players
jobless. The careers of the remaining
eight cricketers depend on the deci-
sion of the board.
The players are professionals who
depend entirely on the earnings from
the game.
Without the contracts, most of the
national players will turn to their re-
spective clubs to earn a living.
The CK general manager, Olivier
Kobus, yesterday said the board was
supposed to meet before the expiry of
the remaining eight contracts.
We do not know our international
assignments. We are not even sure if
Kenya will compete in next years ICC
Intercontinental Cup, Kobus said.
Kenyan players have found them-
selves in a precarious position after
a lackluster performance in the quali-
ers for the 2015 World Cup in New
Zealand in March, where the team
not only missed qualication, but
also lost the One Day International
status. Kenya nished seventh in New
Zealand and the team will only take
part in the Intercontinental Cup if the
number of teams remain eight or the
competitors are increased.
The six ICC associates with ODI
status are now Ireland, Afghanistan,
Scotland, United Arab Emirates, Hong
Kong and Papua New Guinea.

The newly inaugurated Thika
Greens golf course, one of the
latest golf resorts to be developed
in the country, will face its biggest
test in a weeks time.
The par 72 course, which hosted
its rst ocial tournament as an 18-
hole course a month ago, has been
chosen to host the rst leg of the
delayed 2014 KCB Golf series next
weekend. All the active profession-
als in the country are expected to
participate in the event to test the
international standard constructed
course situated a few kilometres
away from Thika Sports Club which
has been the venue of the KCB Tour
season opener.
Speaking at Royal Nairobi Golf
Club on Tuesday after at the se-
ries launch, KCB head of Business
Marketing Wanyi Mwaura said as
a way of improving the series, the
top three professionals at the end
of the series will earn a full sponsor-
ship to play in the Sunshine Tour
in South Africa.
Prize money
However, the series features only
ve events while the prize money
has also been reduced from last
years Sh6 million to Sh5.7 million,
though the total package includ-
ing administration and costs of
the amateur section of the series
stands at Sh24 million.
Last year, Dismas Indiza clinched
the Order of Merit although he
failed to win in the grand nale at
Leisure Lodge Golf Resort where
Vet Labs Brian Njoroge triumphed.
But the Mumias Sugar sponsored
pro golfer will face serious chal-
lenge from Njoroge, Richard Ainley,
Anil Shah, Simon Ngige, Riz Cha-
rania and Jacob Okello. A number
of newly turned professionals,
including Golf Parks Joseph Ka-
ranja, Muthaigas Frank Matilo and
Kenya Air Force Golf Clubs Kelvin
Mabele, will also be in contention.

Kevin Durant, the NBAs top

Valuable Player for the 2013-14 campaign
Tuesday.
Its the rst MVP award for the Thunder
superstar and the rst for the franchise,
which began as the Seattle Supersonics be-
fore moving to the American heartland.
Durant received 1,232 points in balloting
for the honor. That included 119 rst-place
votes from a panel of 124 voters that con-
sisted of sportswriters and broadcasters
throughout the United States and Canada
as well as an NBA.com MVP fan vote.
Its just a surreal feeling, Durant said.
I never thought I could make it through
college to the NBA and be standing here
as the NBA Most Valuable Player.
I went through the toughest times but
Im still standing.
Durant recalled his youth when his
mother Wanda struggled to feed him, his
sister and two brothers as they moved
from apartment to apartment in subur-
ban Washington.
You sacriced for us, Durant told his
mother. You are the real MVP.

A
thletics Kenya should stop ago-
nizing over the strength of their
bid to host the 2017 IAAF World
Youth Championships in Nairobi, the
head of global athletics Lamine Diack
has said.
Diack spoke positively about
Nairobis bid noting that a youth
championship should be fairly easy
to organize provided that the hosts
get the basics right.
Speaking in Qatar ahead of tomor-
rows season-opening Doha Diamond
League meeting, the International
Association of Athletics Federations
(IAAF) president proposed that rather
than worry about ve-star hotel accom-
modation, organisers should make sure
they have good university accommoda-
tion for the teams.
Nairobi has put in a bid to host the
event with the IAAF also clearing bids
from Argentina capital Buenos Aires
and US city Greensboro for the bien-
nial competition for athletes aged 17
years and younger.
Should Nairobi win the bid, then it
will be the biggest event to ever have
been staged in Kenya, even surpassing
the 1987 All Africa Games in Nairobi
and 2007 IAAF World Cross Country
Championships in Mombasa because
of the numbers expected, diversity of
events and global appeal.
For the World Youth Champion-
ships, the hosts should not worry about
big hotels because we want the youths
to share the same accommodation like
a family. University hostels would thus
be good enough, Diack said.
Great cross country
IAAF encourages the spirit of family
among its young athletes and university
accommodation would be best suited
for a global games rather than fancy,
ve-star hotels, he added.
Kenya hosted a great IAAF World
Cross Country Championships in
Mombasa, Diack told the Daily Na-
tion. We will visit Nairobi to inspect
a few things but Im sure Kenya is
capable and Uganda can also host a
cross country championship.
The IAAF presidents statement will
no doubt ease the pressure o Athletics
Kenya and its bid team whose biggest
headache has been identifying hotels
that are good enough yet aordable to
host the large contingent .
With Kasarani as the proposed venue
for the event, the adjacent United
States International University would
be the front-runner to host the Athletes
Villages. Kenyas bid was approved by
the IAAFs Council at its meeting in
Dakar last month along with bids of
Greensboro and Buenos Aires.

To elite athletes:
Local events made
you, support them
L
ocal events
are key to
the career
of any athlete.
Athletics Kenya
weekend meet-
ings for instance,
provide an ath-
lete with a rare
opportunity to
prepare for the season ahead, for
the experienced ones, while giving
a chance to upcoming runners to
showcase their talents.
However, a new not-so-interesting
trend is taking root among Kenyan
athletes, especially the elite. Their
interest in local events has been wan-
ing over time. And perhaps aware of
the importance of the local events,
AK has repeatedly encouraged to
participate.
Even though there may be other
underlying issues, it is clear that our
top runners have completely lost
interest in local events, yet these
events provide a perfect platform
for pre-season preparations.
In some cases, athletes would
appear at the rst stage of a series
then disappear until the nal.
This attitude is mainly associated
with the elite athletes who perhaps
feel the moment they take onto the
international scene, they no longer
need the local events.
However, it should never be lost
to them that they are who they are
because of the local events, where
they had their rst opportunity to
showcase their talents and attract
the eyes of selectors.
Thus, these runners need to make
some payback for the support they
received while starting their careers
and the best way to do this is by giv-
ing local fans a chance to enjoy their
talents at home. This way, they will
also be lifting the proles of these
events which continue to be launch-
pads for aspiring athletes.
We are all crazy about Kenyan
athletics and I dont think there is
nothing better than watching our
big names live on home soil.
Therefore, in my view, giving local
athletics events a wide berth is dis-
respectful. I know there have been
issues at times but these events can
be made exciting by quality casts.
You can only imagine what the
presence of the likes of World and
Olympics 3,000m steeplechase
champion Ezekiel Kemboi, World
1,500m champion Asbel Kiprop,
World champion Milka Chemos
and world 800m record holder David
Rudisha or World 800m champion
Eunice Sum can do to a local race
that would otherwise be boring!
All said and done, the bottom line
remains that local weekend meetings
must be taken seriously if we are to
boost our chances of performing well
internationally. As a matter of fact,
athletes needs these events more
than they can imagine and ignor-
ing them is not a good idea.

A tribunal that will handle
sports disputes was unveiled
yesterday.
The verdict of the Sports
Dispute Tribunal will be nal,
according to Cabinet Secretary
Hassan Wario (pictured). The
body, to be chaired by former
international rugby star John
Ohaga, will reduce the number
of sports-related cases the
courts handle.
For a long time now, mem-
bers of the sporting fraternity
have laid their dirty linen in the
courts, yet some of these cases
can easily be dealt with within
the federations or with the help
of a tribunal, said Wario. In-
ternational sports bodies also
prohibit sports disputes from
being handled by the courts
and Kenya has taken the same
position.
He nonetheless advised
sports bodies to develop
international dispute resolu-
tion mechanisms.
Creation of the tribunal is
provided for in the Sports Act
2013. Any issue federations
and other institutions fail to
resolve should be brought
before the tribunal, which
can overtun some of the
decisions that may be made
by national organisations or
umbrella bodies relating to
appeals against disciplinary
decisions or disputes in na-
tional teams selection. The
Judicial Service Commission
that oversaw the process is free
to appoint more members to
the Tribunal.
Members: John Norris Ohaga (chairman),
Elynah Shiveka (vice chairman), Robert
Asembo, Gichuru Kiplagat, Gilbert Otieno,
Jane Njeri Onyango, Mary Nyokabi Kimani.

Security lessons we can
learn from Qataris
The rise in terror attacks in Kenya
could easily be checked if Kenyan
authorities learnt a few things from
their Qatari counterparts. Here, every
pub patron has to register with the
authorities before enjoying his fa-
vourite drink.
Annual pub membership costs 30
Qatar Riyals (Sh700), and whenever
you enter the pub, your present your
membership card which is then logged
into the security system.
Over 30,000 Kenyans
have found a home here
Doha feels just like Nairobi given
the huge number of Kenyans working
in the Qatari capital and its environs.
On Tuesday night on a pub crawl with
Doha-based Kennedy Kemosi Atunga,
a senior executive with Qatars leading
transport company, we rode in a taxi
driven by a certain Momanyi from
Kisii and upon arriving at a city pub,
we were checked in by one Kamau, a
G4S security guard from Ruiru. About
30,000 Kenyans work in Doha.
Hotel industry attracts
many Kenyan workers
Talking of Kenyan workers in
Qatar, the hotel industry here is
awash with Kenyan professionals.
My temporary residence at the Doha
City Intercontinental Hotel, for in-
stance, has 20 Kenyans employed
as bell captains, room attendants,
security guards and waiters.
Kenyans are respected here for
their discipline, admirable com-
mand of English, good training
and experience.
A bottle of your favourite
beer will cost you Sh700
Serial drunkards will nd it very
hard to keep the bottle going here
because alcohol is very expensive in
Doha. A pint of beer in Doha will set
you back Sh700 and if you opt for
the hard stu, a tot of whisky costs
Sh900 at the cheapest bar. Contrary
to what many believe, Qatar is a cos-
mopolitan country with many pubs
and discotheques in Doha, a city that
has embraced western inuences and
blended them with Islamic rules.

Rio de Janeiro
B
razil manager Luiz Felipe Sco-
lari yesterday unveiled the 23
men he trusts can deliver a
sixth World Cup ahead of this years
event starting June 12 on home soil.
Having already led the most suc-
cessful nation in the tournaments
history to their fth title in Japan in
2002, Scolari is now out to lay the
ghosts of 1950, when the Selecao
lost the trophy match to Uruguay
in Rio.
His list contained no major sur-
prises, although Milan forward
Robinho (92 caps) missed the cut
along with former world players of
the year Ronaldinho (97 caps) and
Kaka (87 caps), an echo of his deci-
sion to dump Romario more than a
decade ago.
Robinho missed the cut despite
facing Chile in a recent friendly.
Saw o world champions
With Scolari having said for
months he knew in his own mind
who he wanted to pick, save for one
or two exceptions, the focus was on
who would provide back-up for a rst
eleven who saw o world champions
Spain in last years Confederations
Cup warm-up.
For the defensive second string,
Paris St Germains Maxwell edged
out Atletico Madrids Filipe Luis,
while veteran defender Maicon won
out at the expense of Bayern Munichs
Ranha, even though the latter had
played in a March friendly romp
against South Africa.
Henrique of Napoli, fresh from lift-
ing the Coppa Italia, also claimed a
berth while in the middle, Scolari
completed his contingent with Man-
chester Citys Fernandinho and also
Inter Milans Hernanes.
Scolari had already named as his
four captains defensive linchpins
Thiago Silva and David Luiz, vet-
eran striker Fred of Fluminense and
goalkeeper Julio Cesar, despite Cesar
now playing in Major League Soccer
with Toronto FC.
In 2002, Scolari preferred a 3-4-3
line up with Ronaldo at its apex.
But now he and technical coordi-
nator Carlos Alberto Parreira will
likely base their hopes on a 4-2-3-1
permutation with the idea that star
man Neymar of Barcelona can enjoy
a free role.
Just four of the players are with
Brazilian clubs reserve keepers
Jefferson and Victor and strikers
Fred and Jo, the latter who had brief
spells in England with Manchester
City and Everton.
Scolari could have named 30 play-
ers before later trimming them back
by June 2.
But the Brazilian Football Con-
federation had indicated ahead of
Wednesday he was happy to name
his nal squad now in readiness for
group games against Croatia, Mexico
and Cameroon.
Scolari will now welcome his
Selecao at the end of May to the
refurbished Granja Comary training
complex outside the rural town of
Teresopolis around an hour north
of Rio.
He will then oversee a June 3
friendly against Panama at Goiana
and a nal warm-up against Serbia
three days later at the Morumbi sta-
dium in Sao Paulo before the Cup
starts at the Corinthians Arena on
July 12. (AFP)

AFC Leopards and Kenya Com-

rst leg match at the Nyayo National
Stadium yesterday.
In a match that saw no punches
held back, the bankers were reduced
to 10 men after just 26 minutes when
right back Sosthens Idah earned his
marching orders for a second book-
able oence.
Idah tackled Oscar Kadenge from
behind to leave the referee with no
choice but to send him o the pitch.
The red card blighted Idahs good
performance as he had two minutes
earlier fed Andrew Murunga for the
opening goal.
Leopards saw red too when Uganda
national Musa Mudde was sent to the
lockers with 19 minutes left for a studs
up challenge on KCBs skipper Michael
Oyando.
Three minutes later, Leopards got
the equalizer with pint-sized forward
Jacob Keli punishing his former club
with a sublime header from an Ab-
dallah Juma free kick which proved
too much for KCB custodian Sammy
Okinda.
I am happy with the performance.
The boys really played their hearts out.

serving the club in any capacity,
Juma said.
Rued missed chances
Leopards will however rue the many
missed opportunities ahead of the sec-
ond leg. Ingwe, who started strongly,
could have been up 2-0 after just 15
minutes when speedy winger Paul
Were found an unmarked centre
forward Allan Wanga in the six-yard
box with an acute pass but the latter
blasted his shot way o the mark.
Were, Wanga and Keli continued to
run rings around the KCB defence but
were let down by poor nishing and
outstanding goal keeping by Okinda.
Shortly after the interval, KCB coach
Rishadi Shedu made a tactical change
pulling out striker Francis Ouma for
Benedict Owuor in a bid to slow down
Leopards free owing attack.
In another development, South Af-
rican top tier league side SuperSport
United have entered the race to sign
Leopards lead striker Wanga.
The forwards contract expires at
the end of the season and according
to sources close to him, he is keen on
taking on a new challenge.
Leopards organizing secretary
Timothy Lilumbi yesterday told the
Daily Nation Sport that the club has
been negotiating with the South Af-
rican club over the player.
I can conrm we have been in talks.
However there is a lot of information
I would not like to give at this point,
Lilumbi said.
Wanga has been Ingwes top striker
since he joined the 13-time league
champions in late 2012 from Viet-
namese side Hoang Anh Gia Lai.

Ps and senators
could soon unite
to push an amend-
ment to the Constitution to
change the date of the next
election.
The National Assemblys
Justice and Legal Affairs
Committee has also taken
over the proposal seeking to
change the day of the Gen-
eral Election from the second
Tuesday in August to the third
Monday in December.
Mr Samuel Chepkonga,
the committees chairman,
yesterday said his team would
seek the support of their coun-
terparts in the Senate on the
proposal by Ugenya MP David
Ochieng.
Well also involve the pub-
lic. The committee will break
into small groups with each
team seeking the input of the
public in a cluster of counties,
said Mr Chepkonga.
At a meeting yesterday, the
House team resolved to back
the proposal by Mr Ochieng,
saying it made more sense to
have the General Election in
December.
Mr Chepkonga said that
because Parliaments term
ends three months before
the General Election, MPs
would not be around to ap-
prove spending for elections
to be held in August.
The Budget is passed by the
end of June, while the House
would have been dissolved
in April.
In his proposal submitted
to the National Assembly, Mr
Ochieng wants all references
to the election day in the Con-
stitution changed to the third
Monday in December.
The Constitution states that
the General Election shall be
held on the second Tuesday in
August in every fth year.
Mr Ochieng says that by
changing Articles 101, 136, 177
and 180 in the Constitution,
Kenya would have a date for
the General Election that is
more favourable to Kenyas
circumstances.
The amendment is to
ensure the election date
reects the unique circum-
stances and tradition of
Kenya, Mr Ochieng says in
his proposal.
Last years General Election
was the rst since the advent
of multiparty democracy in
1991 to be held in March
the rest were held in late
December.
Mr Ochieng argues that the
law change will also put an end
to doubts about the term of
the current Parliament.
Legislators want
law amended so
that elections are
held in December
MPs to seek Senate
backing on poll date

ue Muraya does not look like
your usual developer. Or even
sound like one. She looks like
person who should be trading
stocks at the Nairobi Securities
Exchange or maybe negotiating
agreements with diplomats at the
United Nations. Sharp, focused, and
always dressed to look the part, Sue,
however, can teach you one or two
things about brick and mortar.
Not one or two things, actually,
but a whole lot of things. Consider
this: The ever-smiling woman with
eyebrows tweezed into a constant stun
has a footprint in every major property
hotspot in Nairobi, has numerous
ongoing projects worth hundreds of
millions of shillings, and is dreaming
of starting many others.
She is the brains behind Fourways
Junction along Kiambu Road, about
a kilometre from Ridgeways, Lynx
Apartments on Ngong Road, Rosslyn
Heights and Gardens in Gigiri, Spring
Valley Business Park, and her pet
project, the Sucasa apartments o
Mombasa Road at Mlolongo, among
many others.
With such a portfolio, Sue considers
herself an authority in real estate, so
she goes that extra mile to stamp that
self-assurance on everything that she
touches. It might not translate into the
Midas touch popularised by Midnight
Star, the American pop group, in their
self-titled album of 1988, but you can
feel Sue in most of her creations, see
her minimalist, yet extravagant touch
on the nished product.
Her Fourways Junction, for example,
has cluster houses, apartments, oce
blocks, and now a shopping mall, three-
star hotel, a business park, a school,
retirement home, and country club,
while the Rosslyn Gardens and Heights
development, a 39-unit project with
exclusive four- and ve-bedroom villas,
has quietly yet elegantly transformed
the skyline of Gigiri.
A miracle
Patricia Githu is involved in the
construction of Juja South Estate, the
Sunset Park Estate, and a number of
other projects around the country. At
Juja she has put up 257 units including
154 two-bedroom units and 22 three-
bedroom penthouses.
We also have 40 three-bedroom
and 41 four-bedroom town houses,
says Patricia. The project sits
on 30 acres and is going to be a
gated community with schools,
kindergarten, supermarkets, club
house, gym, recreational centre, and
other amenities, all at a cost of about
Sh3 billion.
In a country where banks are still
reluctant to put their money in such
projects, it is a miracle that these two
women successfully pulled o such
multi-million developments. It has not
been easy, they agree, and at the start
of the current boom about 10 years ago,
they both had to look for alternative
nancing options to supplement what
the banks oered them.
Patricia, for instance, is nanced by
ABC and Kenya Commercial banks,
but still relies a lot on personal savings
and o-plan purchases to put up her
houses. Sue also relies on this three-
pronged mode of nancing, but says
Our advice: Get it right from start, nish it o well!

Top: A maisonette at Fourways Junction o Kiambu Road,
which bears the characteristic imprints of developer Sue
Muraya (above).
These women are the force behind some of Kenyas multi-million shilling developments in some of
the most exclusive neighbourhoods. They have broken out of their comfort zones and sustained their
market lead in a male-dominated sector through sheer determination, patience, and ingenuity. ALLAN
OLINGO spoke to Sue Muraya, the chief executive of Suraya Properties, and Patricia Githu, the chief
executive of Developing Africa Limited, about their take on the Kenyan real estate sector
that even though it was dicult at
the start to convince banks to pump
money into her projects, the relative
success of what she has being doing
over the past few years, coupled with
the high returns the boom has given
the industry, has got banks suddenly
interested in the eld.
To these women, satisfaction
comes, not from getting the money
to break ground, but seeing people
nd comfort and assurance in their
creations. Because of the dynamic
nature of the industry and its all-year
demand, developers have to be on
their toes if they are to survive the
cut-throat competition. That means
they must package their products to
meet the ever-growing sophistication
of the prospective home owner.
That sophistication, for Sue, is
most evident in the infrastructural
expectations of the Nairobi buyer.
People want amenities such as
access roads, sewerage systems,
shopping malls, club houses, and
childrens play areas, all packaged at
competitive prices. The temptation for
many developers, she says, is either
to do all that and pass on the cost
to the buyer, or ignore such money-
sapping accessories like cabro-paved
roads and parking bays and keep the
house cheap.
As much as most developers would
like to put up aordable houses, poor
infrastructure often discourages them
as it downgrades their developments
or, where it must be improved at own
cost, raises the price of the units,
resulting in low uptake. But we do it
dierently by locking the contractor
to agreed unit prices so that we do not
have uctuations that inconvenience
buyers, she says.
Over the years, Patricia and Sue
have observed a growing interest in the
property market, but, unfortunately,
that interest is being suppressed by
high lending rates by banks. Most
home buyers would rather go the
mortgage way, but in a scenario where,
according to Sue, the rates are almost
twice the base lending rate, few would
dare ask for mortgage nancing.
But, even as lending rates stifle
the industry, the outlook, at least
for both Sue and Patricia, is quite
encouraging.
The quality of workmanship and
expectations speak volumes about the
industry, says Patricia. The prospects
for the future look good because the
demand is increasing against a low
supply, therefore no developer can
single-handedly satisfy the market.
We have come from a time where
real estate was for mature people to
a time where it is the in thing. One has
to either own land or a house. And if
that thinking persists, it will keep us in
business for a long time to come.
Their dream is to oer both high-
end and low-end housing, but it is
the latter that has proved dicult
to achieve. The industry is currently

THE VALUE of the countrys building plans and
buildings completed rose by a signicant 34.2 per
cent in 2013 to Sh243.1 billion, from Sh181.1 billion
in 2012. The bulk of these were in Nairobi.
Nairobi County registered an increase of 41.1
per cent to stand at Sh190.6 billion in 2013. This is
partly explained by increased activity in real estate
to cater for rising demand for housing due to
rapid population growth in urban areas, says the
Economic Survey 2014 released last week.
However, commercial bank loans to the sector
grew the slowest in recent years at only 2.3 per
cent to stand at Sh70.8 billion from Sh69.1 billion
in 2012. This was only a Sh1.7 billion dierence,
indicating a stagnation prompted by sky-high
interest rates. This is signicant when compared
with the growth in previous years.
In 2010, banks advanced Sh32.6 billion to the
construction sector. This jumped by a massive
Sh18.2 billion in 2011 to Sh50.8 billion. In 2012 this
again grew by Sh18.3 billion to stand at Sh69.1
billion.
Even with the tremendous increase in the value
of plans approved, on the ground, growth has
been sluggish. The value of new private buildings
completed in main urban towns stood at Sh55.2
billion, an indicator that despite approvals,
the cost of credit may be leading to a slower
completion rate.
The growth in the sector led to a 12.2 per cent
growth in wage employment in the construction
industry, from 116,000 to 130,000. Cement
consumption increased by 6.9 per cent to 4.266
million tonnes.
An index that measures the changes in cost of
construction inputs (materials and labour) showed
that the prices had gone up by 7.2 per cent from
5.6 per cent in 2012, a development that should
worry developers. Individually, the cost index of
materials went up by 5.7 per cent.
The increase was due to a rise in cost of
material inputs such as timber, hydrated lime, fuel,
bitumen, and structural steel, said the survey.
Labour costs are also on the increase, with the
survey reporting that this is mostly on account
of increase in statutory minimum wages, as set
by the government in May 2013. The only respite
is that the government declined to review the
minimum wage this year, citing the need to
consult employers. The survey shows that other
counties are yet to pick up pace, with the value
of building approvals in the 46 counties at Sh52.5
billion in 2013 from Sh46 billion in 2012.
Although Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and
Kili counties recorded an increase in the value of
reported private building works completed, their
contribution to total building works completed
remained low, said the survey.
It further said that the sector is reecting the
current economic growth trend in the country, a
pointer that the slowdown in the sector could be
pulling down the national economic growth rate.
Investment in housing and related services
impacts on the national income by triggering
additional investments in building materials
production and fabrication, transportation,
marketing, and employment creation.
High cost of credit blamed
for slower completion rate
Our advice: Get it right from start, nish it o well!
debating whether it is possible, under
current policy and infrastructural
and nancing conditions to really
put up low-cost housing and still
remain profitable. The thinking is
that, with prevailing land prices and
material costs, low-cost housing can
either be low-quality or incentivised
by the state.
Sue, however, has decided to go it
alone as she delicately balances the
needs of the middle income earner and
those of the lower segment, for whom
housing remains an unmet need.
We are trying to achieve this by
coming up with different housing
models that cater for different
segments through appropriate
pricing. If, for instance, you would
like to own a Sh2 million house but
do not have the money in cash, the
easiest way to go about it is to pay
the deposit at construction stage, then
start saving and paying in tranches as
construction continues. By the time
you move into your house, its value
will have appreciated way above the
initial Sh2 million costing.
It is not easy to quantify the success
of her Sucasa project in Mlolongo (she
says it has proved to be quite a hit),
which seeks to bring home ownership
closer to the unbanked at low prices.
Her Sh900,000 bed-sitters target the
young investor looking for a place to
start the climb up the ladder, but she
also has one- and two-bedroom units
that start at Sh2.1 million.
Most Kenyans cannot qualify for
mortgage but they save through saccos
and chamas. This means that they can
aord these low-cost houses without
the pain of high interest rates. All we
need is more developers going this
way, more investors thinking of the
man or woman who cannot aord a
mortgage, and you would not believe
how the industry would take o.
Most of the clients we interact with
apply for mortgages but some do not
qualify. This does not means that we
do not work with them. We have to sit
down and come up with a way out so
that they do not fail to purchase the
houses, says Sue.

Lands oce closed
for 10 days
Lands Cabinet secretary Charity Ngilu
announced a 10-day suspension of services
at the lands oce in Nairobi to enable her
ministry to conduct an audit of its registries.
The auditing of the Central, Nairobi, and
Records Registry is meant to improve service
delivery, Ngilu said. The closure became
eective on Monday this week. The services
to be aected include registration of land
documents, searches, stamp duty payments,
land rent payment, and application for
valuation and processing.
Others are payment of allotments,
application for sub-division of land, settlement
programmes, and land adjudication.
Services are expected to resume on
Monday, May 19.
PIC wants Chinese
rm investigated
The Public Investments Committee has
recommended that the Ethics and Anti-
Corruption Commission (EACC) investigate all
construction projects awarded to China Jiangxi
International Kenya by the National Social
Security Fund (NSSF). This follows a probe
into the controversial tender award for the Sh5
billion Tassia II project in Eastlands, Nairobi.
The Chinese rm was recently awarded the
tender for the extension of the Hazina Trade
Centre in Nairobi.
PIC said NSSF had awarded China Jiangxi
at least ve real estate development contracts
in the recent past. This has raised concerns of
possible collusion, prompting the call for the
anti-corruption body to investigate the tender
awards.
According to the committee, NSSF lost
more than Sh500 million through variation
of bid prices for contracts awarded to China
Jiangxi in the past ve years.
Six NHC ocials on
corruption charges
Six former National Housing Corporation
(NHC) senior ocials are facing charges of
illegal house allocations. Former managing
director James Ruitha is charged with
using his oce to irregularly allocate three
houses developed by the corporation to his
family without the approval of the allocation
committee. Former secretary Elizabeth
Mbugua and nance manager Manasseh
Wandabwa are charged with failing to
disclose their interest while participating in
the proceedings of the allocation committee,
which allocated them and their spouses six
houses. Former technical manager Bernard
Ogolla, legal ocer William Keitany, and
chief estates ocer John Agutu face charges
of using their positions to inuence NHCs
allocation of houses in dierent parts of the
country. The trial begins on May 12.
Rents in Nairobis
satellite towns rise
Despite signicant commute periods and
cost, rents in Nairobis satellite towns and
outskirts have risen to match those near the
city. Average rents recently rose to between
Sh18,000 and Sh30,000 per month for a
two-bedroom apartment, spurred by rising
demand. The trend threatens to leave the
lower middle-income earners with little option
but to pay landlords a signicant chunk of
their monthly earnings.
Kitengela, Ongata Rongai, Ngong, Juja,
Ruai, Kikuyu, Ruiru, Kiserian, and Athi River
are some of the areas where, several years
ago, one could rent a decent, two-bedroom
apartment for Sh13,000. High mortgage rates
have pushed potential home buyers into
renting, which could partly account for the rise
in rents.

en Miriam Chaka was
transferred from Eldoret to
Kisumu, she had no clue
where she would spend her
rst night. Not wanting to be stranded, she
left Eldoret early in the morning so that she
could begin house-hunting immediately.
However, after an exhausting and fruitless
two-hour search in dierent estates with the
help of a boda boda, she decided to make
do with an expensive, single-room in the
upmarket Milimani estate, hoping to nd
more aordable accommodation later.
Interestingly, the landlady questioned
her closely about her profession, religion,
previous tenancy, and reason for moving.
Then, just as she was about to sign the
tenancy agreement, the landlady looked
keenly at her national ID card and asked her
which ethnic community she came from.
When I told her I was half-Kikuyu and
half-Giriama, she told me point-blank that
her husband would not be comfortable with
my presence, adding that she had never
interacted with a Giriama before and was
not sure if they were troublesome. She
then grabbed the contract back from me,
Chaka narrated.
She had another unpleasant experience at
Polyview Estate when a landlady dismissed
her because she was single. She told me
she did not accept unmarried women on
the premises because they had the habit
of snatching peoples husbands, Chaka
recalled.
Searching for a house at short notice is
frustrating, Chaka said, not to mention the
unusual specications landlords require of
potential tenants. Some are based on self-
interest while others are purely tribalistic,
said Chaka.
But her experience is not unique.
Kennedy Mongare, who has been in a
similar situation, asked rhetorically: Of
what concern is my family size, religion, or
tribe to the house owner as long as I pay
my rent and other requirements? I think
they are taking this too far.
He recalled a posting on a social site
which said that getting a house in the
lakeside city was a nightmare but did not
pay much attention to it until he found
himself in just such a situation.
When the surname was difficult to
place, some landlords sought to unearth
the ancestral origin of a potential tenant,
which is unfair. I think it breaches
ones constitutional freedom from
discrimination, he said.
Nevertheless, the practice continues,
with stereotypes about people from certain
tribes being dirty or clean, easygoing, hot-
tempered, mean or generous being used by
some landlords to lock out tenants.
According to Mr Charles Omondi, a
manager at Seasons Comfort Rooms in
Bomet town, dierent apartments have
dierent rules depending on the owners
interests. He says some do not accept
families for fear that the children might
be destructive while others prefer families
because they perceive them as stable.
He says that bachelors are unwelcome on
most premises with shared facilities such as
a washrooms since they are seen to be too
lazy to undertake collective responsibilities
like cleaning.
Married women are wary of single
women, whom they see as a threat to
their marriages.
House managers get pickier when
accommodation is scarce. Those who
manage prime houses will soon ask for
a certicate of good conduct from tenant
due to insecurity in the country, Mr
Omondi said.
Mole Properties Agency manager Mr
Kimeli Cheluget, who manages properties
in Eldoret and Kisumu, defended landlords,
arguing that the seemingly discriminatory
specifications are inevitable to ensure
smooth management and security.
He said people living in the same
environment should have similar interests
to avoid conict.
House managers look for people they
can manage without too much pressure. If
you have student tenants, their noisiness
and restlessness might not go down well
with a family with young children. Mixing
these two sets of tenants is a recipe for
disaster, said Mr Cheluget.
He said houses should be built with
specic tenants in mind, adding that he
would rather have some empty houses with
happy existing tenants than earn additional
rent in an unconducive atmosphere.
As much as we strive to protect the
interests of our clients, landlords should
avoid being too harsh and digging too
deeply into the lives of people, unless there
is a security concern, Mr Cheluget said.

Crown Paints Kenya Limited has
announced a 49 per cent increase
in pre-tax prot for the year ending
December 31, 2013. The paint maker
recorded a Sh333.4 million prot in the
year under review compared to Sh224
million the previous year. The companys
Chief Executive Ocer, Mr Rakesh Rao,
attributes the impressive results to
aggressive sales and improved eciency
that saw the companys turnover rise
from Sh4.2 billion in 2012 to Sh5.1 billion
in 2013.
We managed to grow our
sales despite the high interest rate
environment, said Mr Rao. In addition,
year-on-year growth has ranged
between 40 and 50 per cent hence, the
rise in turnover, he said.
The CEO said although the paint
industry had become competitive, the
companys focus on introducing new,
innovative products had paid o.
The high-end product market has
been growing and now accounts for 40
cent of our sales, compared to 20 per
cent two years ago, said Mr Rao.
As part of its expansion strategy and
move to gain from the increased activity
in the construction sector, especially in
the counties, Crown Paints has spent
more than Sh100 million in the rst
quarter of 2014 on opening showrooms
in the major counties, including Nairobi,
Mombasa, Eldoret and Nakuru.
We are also rmly on track on
regional expansion in order to entrench
our presence using a unique model of
setting up mini-plants that feed specic
demands in particular areas, said Mr
Rao. We have aggressive plans to
entrench our regional presence and are
putting up satellite factories in Arusha,
Mwanza and Dar es Salaam at an
estimated cost of (Sh258 million).

T
he hallway might be
simply a passage to the
other rooms to many
home owners, so they
tend to overlook its importance.
Says Rebecca Siwa, a professional
interior designer: The hallway
might seem like just a passageway
between various units in your
house, but it is the area you and
your guests rst see when entering
the house.
Consequently, she adds,
brightening it up will not only
make it more attractive, but also
give it a unique personality.
Ms Siwa notes that since
hallways tend to be short on
space and generally dull, the
rst step is to decorate them in a
way that makes them feel larger
and brighter. This can be done
by choosing the right colour(s)
and pattern(s). In addition, it
is important to consider the
personality you want your hallway
to have, as well as the structural
features such as an awkwardly-
placed wall, which you cannot
change with interior design.
The notion is to understand
your hallway to enable you to come
up with ideas that will not conict
with its architectural design, she
says, adding that you cannot, for
instance, put up skylights along
your hallway if it does not have a
glazed ceiling.
Uplighters
If your hallway has such
limitations, you can consider
alternatives such as uplighters.
Uplighters and wall lights get rid
of the dark and boring look most
hallways have, she says, adding
that they are practical and stylish
and give your hallway a welcoming
feel.
Sconce lighting
Alternatively, Ms Siwa suggests
wall sconce lighting. Wall sconces
have a way of creating a great,
dim eect which might not be
appropriate in rooms that require
bright lighting. They are stylish
and give the hallway a romantic
feel. However, they are quite
expensive, she says.
If money is not a problem, Ms
Siwa says, a good alternative is
vintage lights or an array of paper
lanterns.
Art
Art is generally a good way of
creating a focal point, and the
hallway is no dierent. If the art
or wall hangings in your house do
not t into your interior design
scheme, putting them up along
the hallway is a good way to use
them, she says, adding that this
livens up the hallway by giving it
colour.
However, she cautions:
Whatever idea you decide to
implement (whether art, eye-
catching wallpaper, or bright
colour patterns), avoid walls with
neutral shades as this makes them
grubby quickly and easily.
Mirror the walls
Having a mirror or a set of
mirrors along the hallway is
another way of livening it up.
The good thing about having
mirror(s) is that they make the
hallway appear wider. They also
reect light well, making it look
brighter, she says.
There are various options: You
can have a long, wide mirror that
kisses the ceiling and carpet, a
medium-sized one that can be
hanged above the console table
or opposite the wall sconces, or
a set of small, vintage mirrors
placed at vantage positions along
the hallway.
When using mirrors, bear in
mind that they should be placed
strategically, such as opposite
the front door to reect as much
natural light as possible, and
fairly wide for maximum eect,
she suggests.
Storage bench
Most people have a tendency
of dumping shoes, umbrellas,
and other stu along the hallway,
which makes it untidy. To avoid
this, Ms Siwa says, you can
have a very low storage bench
installed to avoid the clutter. The
bench can also serve as a seat and
some even come with key holders
and racks.
Floating storage units will
also do well in the hallway and
the hooks can be used for hanging
jackets, coats and other items,
says the interior designer.
Hardy carpet
Carpets are good for making
a statement about your taste
and style, and putting a durable,
beautiful carpet along the hallway
will not disappoint, she assures.
The idea is to give your family
and friends a warm welcome, and
carpets are ideal, since thats their
point of entry, she says.
However, it is important to
remember that the hallway is a
high-trac area.

and
patterns,

T
hey say that rst impressions last
longer than the moment in which
they occur and though the old
adage says that you should never
judge a book by its cover, it is quite possible
to judge a home by its door. Sadly, many
home owners do not realise the amount of
visibility a door enjoys.
Though many homeowners use their
doors routinely, to visitors, the door and
entryway are the rst space they see upon
arrival. Depending on how these spaces
are decorated, visitors might form early
judgements, some possibly negative, about
your home, much like meeting someone for
the rst time.
This point is always demonstrated when
you are lost in a new neighbourhood.
Often, you will nd yourself knocking on
the doors that look presentable, clean,
and well-maintained. Possibly because
the exterior of these houses depicts the
presumed character of their occupants to
be considerate, stylish (up-to-date) and
thorough, obviously desirable qualities
when you are in such a situation.
The moral of the tale is that a door is the
face of a home and it needs to always look
its best. Here are a few simple ways to make
your door and entrance area as stylish and
inviting as possible.
Obey the weather
Your entrance area is often exposed to
sunlight and rain, which can cause a great
deal of wear and tear. To increase the life
of your door and walkway, it would be a
good idea to cover the space with a canopy.
The canopy can further be inscribed with a
monogram of your family name to give it a
bit of personality. In addition, ensure that
you have a good, sturdy doormat that can
keep dust and mud o shoes.
Yet another consideration to make when
decorating your entrance area is the ooring
material. It is a common trend to use indoor
tiles on outdoor surfaces, but while this may
be visually appealing, some types of tiles
are unsuitable for exterior areas, especially
those that are not hard-wearing and slip-
proof. Such inappropriate ooring materials
can pose a potential health hazard, especially
during rainy spells and, worse still, if there
are children accessing the space without
adult supervision.
Grab a chair
If you are lucky enough to have a fair
amount of space outside your door, you
can make it a semi-formal entertaining area
for your guests. Get an old wooden bench
sanded and painted with two to three coats
of mint green paint and place it at your
entrance area. To add some visual interest
to the space, use a golden picture frame
on a piece of oversized oral print fabric,
preferably one with accents of navy and
royal purple, to perfectly complement the
mint green shade of the bench.
Spell it out
Sometimes words are actually louder than
even the choicest of door accessories, so
tell your guests to feel welcome in large
printed wooden signs. Available in local
curio markets, these dark wood pieces have
words such as Welcome, Karibu, and
Hakuna Matata. To add to the drama of
these pieces, add some inexpensive African
wooden masks alongside the signs. To add
even more drama, paint the walls a deep
blue a shade that will do justice to the
dark colour of the wooden curios.
Get a cup
Dare to be whimsical and get some
oversized teacup owerpots. These simple
but unconventional owerpots would make
great conversation starters as well as provide
a home for your herb garden. To add to the
whimsical theme, get some simple metal
watering cans and paint them in a shade
of pastel pink and place them in groups of
twos or threes around the tea cup ower
pots. Last but not least, get an old ladder
painted with a white weathered nish, x
some brass hooks on each rung of the
ladder, and use the hooks to hang some
ower pots with creeping plants.
Get a grip
On the right door hardware. These little
things count, so take some time, money,
and eort and get the right door handles,
knobs, and even padlocks for your door.
When choosing such hardware, give careful
consideration to the architectural style of
your house, your security needs, and your
budget. Go one step further and buy some
brass numerical signs to write your house
number in style. Better still, you could
paint your door a bold colour like red and
use a large, custom-made vinyl sticker of
your house number to t your door from
top to bottom.

Our spaces, just like the
tortoises shell or a birds nest,
should represent individual
preferences. Interior design has
come of age as many people
appreciate the need for creative
interiors.
With growing numbers
interested in interior design
for their homes, hotels and
restaurants, oces, and
integrated retail centres such
as malls, product-specic items
have been developed and also a
great variety in colour and style
options are now available.
Any home owner may be at a
loss regarding what to choose
to awlessly match their spaces.
When it comes to the choice of
furniture, lighting, wall, window,
and oor options, accessories
and many interior design
aspects, one may not know what
type, quality, colour, design, and
even texture to choose.
This is the reason real
estate developers, new home
owners, those moving to new
oces, commercial centres, or
apartments for the rst time
and those intending to remodel
or improve their spaces should
visit showrooms.
With so much to choose from,
though, one may be at a loss
as to what will best suit their
space. At showrooms, one can
see a real representation of the
product or service and gain a
better understanding of the
products and services through
face-to-face interaction.
Developers and potential
home owners are not only able
to see the product or visualise
the service, but also behold, for
instance, the level of sheen, feel
the texture on the product, and
even smell it.
Most current market
information and products
regarding interior design is
also only obtained through

However, a developer or home owner can

design, and texture at the showroom.
One can meet professional interior
designers and other experts at a
showroom. An interior designer will be
able to illustrate the suitability of the
item or service on a particular space. This

I turned the coin over
slowly and shook my head.
Thats not as exciting as
thinking it came from Captain
Kidds treasure, I said.
Cheer up, Mato said.
Maybe the real treasure is in
the bottom of that sea cave.
When I grow up, Im going to
explore that cave with scuba
gear. And well nd more than
a Maria Theresa dollar.
I began to shiver with
cold.
Whats wrong, Dean?
Dad asked.
I feel cold and my head
hurts.
Mom came over and put
her hand on my forehead.
Youre burning up, she said
in alarm. She sent the others
home and hurried me to bed
and gave me Panadol to lower
my fever. It didnt help. I woke
up wet with sweat. I started
shivering again.
Dad went to get Dr. Owino.
He took one look at me and
said, Hes got malaria.
Are you sure? my dad
asked. Remember our
encounter with that witch
doctor on Misali Island? Could
this be a sickness caused by
evil spirits?
Dr. Owino rubbed his chin.
It could be, he said. But
this has all the classic signs
of malaria. He turned to me.
Did you get any mosquito
bites on our trip to Pemba
Island?
I nodded and told them
about the bites on my elbow
after sleeping on the slats in
Tanga. They itched the whole
bus trip back to Mombasa, I
said.
Ill draw some blood
in the morning and take it
to a lab in Mombasa in the
morning to make sure. But
for now, lets start him out on
Halfan. He pulled out a small
box of pills. I drank the pills
down with some water.
Dr. Owino prayed before
he left. I fell asleep and
dreamed I was drifting along
in a dhow and pirates stormed
on board led by Captain Kidd
who waved a gleaming sabre
under my neck. Captain Kidd
called for his men to sit on
my chest while they went
through my pockets. I could
hardly breathe. One of the
pirates pulled the coin from
my pocket and called out, He
stole the Captains lucky coin.
He deserves to die.

Dear Yvonne,
I am an avid reader of your column and
congratulations are in order for your good
work.
I have been seeking answers regarding
my late fathers savings account at the
Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), Mumias
branch, all in vain. I now turn to you for
assistance.
My father, Alexander Werimo Rupia,
died in August 2001. At the time, he was
running a savings account with KCB, Mu-
mias branch.
I have attached documents to prove this.
They indicate that his last transaction was
an account balance request which on the
day he lodged it, says he had Sh26,153.65.
I have been investigating what happened
to his money to no avail. All my eorts have
hit a stone wall.
At rst, the bank ocers at the branch
insisted that there was never such an ac-
count. When confronted with evidence,
however, they changed the narrative and
told me that following an upgrade of their
systems, the said account could no longer
be traced.
If my memory serves me right, I know
that even when organisations upgrade
their systems, all the information from
the old platform is normally transferred to
the new software. What happened to my
fathers account? I need answers.
I gave up my pursuit when a bank ocer
informed me that if I insisted on following
up, I should be ready to pay the charges for
undertaking such an exercise. The ocer
indicated that the fee would be well over
Sh10,000.
Kindly, help me unravel this mystery.
William Rupia.
Thank you, William, for bringing
your problem to our attention. We
also appreciate your compliments.
We are sorry for the loss of your
father. It is unfortunate that you have
suered simply for trying to trace the
savings in your fathers account.
We got in touch with KCB, which
responded with speed and concern.
The nancial institution explained
that locating your fathers account
took relatively long because of the
tasks involved in retrieving his de-
tails.
There is, however, light at the end
of the tunnel for you as the KCB Mu-
mias branch manager has invited you
to his oce. According to the bank,
the outlet head would like to conrm
some details with you so that they
can guide you on what to do in order
to solve this case.
Just before we went to the press,
you informed us that you have met
the branch manager.
We wish you Godspeed.
Hello Yvonne,
I am a Second Year student at Masinde
Muliro University taking a Bachelor of Sci-
ence degree in information technology.
I write to complain about the Higher
Education Loans Board. So far, I have not
been awarded any amount since I applied
for nancial assistance even after lodging
an appeal.
As a consequence, my studies have
been aected owing to late payment of
fees, which leads to failure to register for
exams in time.
I study in the same university with my
sister, who is taking an education degree
through private sponsorship. I have siblings
in primary and high school who depend on
our parents.
I applied for my Helb loan using a dier-
ent registration number from the one I am
using now. This is because I changed my
course at some point.
Kindly, help me nd out what happened
to my application.
Kigai
Hi Kigai, we appreciate your taking
time to communicate with us over
your suering.
We have been in touch with the
student nancier, Helb, which con-
rmed that, indeed, your loan appli-
cation has never been approved. Ap-
peals have not borne results either.
Helb has a reason for this. It
explains that your familys income
exceeds the limit set for awarding
loans.
The institution, however, said that
any award of money on appeal is usu-
ally subject to availability of funds.
The student lender also noted that
it has been in communication with
you, urging you to apply for the cash
assistance in the 2014/2015 academic
year. You can also lodge an appeal if
you are not awarded a loan. We urge
you to appeal for the loan in the next
nancial year and wish you success
in your education.

THE FIRST STEP towards
realising a nancial goal is to
have clearly dened, measur-
able, and realistic objectives
and an action plan of how to
get there.
You already have a side
business that supplements
your income and enables
you to pay for your Mas-
ters degree. You could
develop a business plan
to seek ways to enable
you to identify other op-
portunities for growth in
the business, consequently
increasing the prots and
therefore making more sav-
ings. The fact that you have
already set your goal and
the budget puts you a step
ahead towards achieving
your dream.
The purchase or con-
struction of a home is
probably one of the largest
nancial undertakings for
most families and as such,
requires a lot of thought
and careful planning. Every
nancial goal needs to be
well dened to enable you
to gure out where to do
some ne-tuning, and then
create a plan of action that
you can stick with through-
out the period. The key to
building your savings is
making it a routine habit,
and it should not be dened
by how much you earn, but
how much you are able to
save.
Saving is a culture that
one needs to exercise with
a lot of determination. You
will need discipline and an
aggressive savings plan to
achieve your goal. Having a
monthly budget and track-
ing all your expenses will
enable you to assess your
nances and see where and
how you spend your money.
The simple process of do-
ing this will make you think
twice about expenses and
reduce spending on things
that you buy because you
want them, and not because
you actually need them.
There are various ways of
trimming non-essential ex-
penses without making big
changes to ones lifestyle.
Finally, you will need a
plan to invest the money
you are saving in order to
make more money. It is ad-
visable to stick to a low-risk
investment, for instance, in-
terest earning savings plans
in unit trusts.
While it is tempting to
invest your savings for a
higher return, beware that
there is always a risk that
an investment may lose
money. Alternatively, bear-
ing in mind that you have
accumulated savings in
your saccos, you could bor-
row since sacco loans are
usually easier to service due
to their low interest rates
compared to banks. The
fact that most saccos allow
you to borrow up to three
times your savings is an
added advantage. Whether
your goal is to build a
house or meet some other
financial obligation, hard
work, determination, and
discipline in saving goes a
long way in accomplishing
your goals.
HELLO ANNE. Thank you for your advice on matters personal nance.
I am a parent with average income living in Nairobi. Quite often, I nd myself si-
multaneously putting money away for retirement, for paying business or property
taxes, saving for a holiday say in the US or Dubai besides for our children college
fees.
How can I track my progress towards all these dierent goals in order to realise
success?
Are there accounting tools or software that I can turn to?
Adrian
cash point
ANGELS, venture capitalists,
private equity rms, and mutual
funds all evaluate investments on
the same four basic criteria. At the
various stages of a companys evo-
lution from brilliant-insight baby to
billion-dollar behemoth, those in-
vestors will weigh your attributes
dierently.
When you pitch your company
for funding, focus on these four
topics:
Sustainability
Demonstrate what is special
about your company and how you
will keep that strong position. Is
your oering fresh and dierent
with a unique solution for the cus-
tomer? Are your costs structurally
lower or your service super fast
because you invented incredible
algorithms? Show that you have
something different from the
pack, and that is what your target
market wants.
Some businesses grow and
thrive with execution being their
main dierentiator: Think high
volume selling or complex logis-
tics businesses. If execution is
your pitch for why you are dif-
ferent, be sure your track record
backs that up.
Team
For young companies, the team
is the most important aspect an
investor considers as your market
and product may not exist yet.
What unique combination of skills
and experience makes your lead-
ers the potential winners? As you
scale your business, your execu-
tion will demonstrate why you are
right for the job.
Protability
Money, prots, and cash ow
are ultimately what create value.
On your way to protability, your
company may become strategi-
cally valuable and might be ac-
quired early or IPO when public
investors believe you will become
protable soon.
You have to show how your
business model, the costs to ac-
quire and serve customers, will be
protable. Understand the margin
structure of comparable compa-
nies and show how you will track
versus their paths.
Later-stage companies and in-
vestors focus on the nancials.
Public investors might focus
almost exclusively on your fi-
nancials, looking for expanding
margins and prot growth. For
younger companies, your target
model and cash needed to break
even are foremost concerns.
Market
Investors want to know that
your company has plenty of room
to grow. Markets can be sized
bottoms up or tops down. Try
both methods to check if your as-
sumptions are reasonable.
As a long-time venture investor
and previously the head of inves-
tor relations for two public com-
panies, these four factors are the
pillars of successful pitches and
investment decisions.
Clearly communicate your com-
panys market, strategy, model,
and people, and you will be speak-
ing your investors language.

at the moment:
1
Get enough sleep
Your body literally restores itself
during sleep. In the four stages of a
healthy sleep cycle, the rst three are
all dedicated to what is called Non-REM
sleep and specically act to restore the
physical body. You know from experi-
ence what a bad nights sleep feels like
the next day. You feel slow, sluggish, and
foggy. Your brain is not ring on all its
cylinders. You body is craving carbohy-
drates and sugar. You need to make sleep
as important as your waking day and de-
vote yourself to at least six hours of good
sleep a night.
2
Take a break
You are not meant to sit at a
desk or computer for eight to 12
hours a day, and yet many people do.
While that may be the reality of your
entrepreneurial path, take breaks in your
day. Get up, walk, move, and stretch.
Try a standing desk platform for certain
work portions of the day. Take a real
break to enjoy a healthy meal for lunch
and follow it up with a walk.
Time is always precious, but breaks
and moving will make you more pro-
ductive and help your body to stay well
adjusted in the long run.
3
Outsource to create time
Speaking of time being precious,
get some time back by outsourcing
anything and everything you can aord.
Get a virtual assistant, hire a freelance
designer, book your rst CPA just
start outsourcing as much of your busi-
ness as possible to get some time back.
4
Work at the best time
One thing that is great about
the entrepreneur lifestyle is the
ability to be exible. Really productive
people know when they are at their best.
Some love to cram out huge productivity
sessions after 10pm when the family is
in bed while others know they shine rst
thing in the morning.
Whatever you bodys naturally most
productive time, do most of your work
then.
5
Prioritise everything
Productive people know that
there are urgent things, and then
there are important things. They have
mastered the skill of letting go of ur-
gency for what is actually important and
a priority. You will not be able to do it all
every day. Prioritise and plan to make
the most ecient use of your time.
6
Take actions vs over-analyse
Productive people know that
good planning does not work
without taking action, too. It is impor-
tant to plan, but many will get lost in the
perfectionist trap.
It is better to take action on a good
plan than to sit on a perfected plan and
wait. Productive people create the future
by taking action.
7
Get organised
If time is always of the essence,
productive people under-
stand that having an organised
life means saving time.
It takes less time to label
something properly or put
something back properly than
it does to try to nd it later in a
heap of disorganised junk.
Get organised in every aspect of your
life for maximum productivity.
8
Do not multi-task.
Some people make the case for
multi-tasking and some have even
managed to pull this amazing feat o,
but let them be the exception and not
the rule.
Productive people realise that multi-
tasking is a myth and they choose to
stay focused. So should you.
9
Create and uphold boundaries
Boundaries tie together many of
the things productive people do.
They keep productive people organised
and help them prioritise.
When you make boundaries and
uphold them, you save yourself a lot of
trouble in the long run, trying to g-
ure out and analyse all the exceptions.
Boundaries are a great way to organise.
Come up with your own and try them
out.
1 0
Shop online
Productive people know
the value proposition of time
and, when possible, shop online. It is a
simple trick that can save a lot of time.
There are shops online that sell liter-
ally everything. From grocery service
delivery to bathroom supplies and more,
most of your everyday needs are avail-
able online to be delivered to your door.
That saves a lot of time and, in most
cases, money.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP is a ho-
listic lifestyle of better health,
better ideas, and a better lifestyle
that you are working toward.
To make those improvements
means updating your habits and
to change your habits takes com-
mitment and some tricks. One
trick that has been helping make
change for many is the idea of a
swap. From addictions to smoking
cessation to weight loss, the idea
is that you do not go cold turkey
but you swap the habit you have
for one that is better.
To be an improved version of
yourself, here are simple daily
swaps you can make:
Mind: Swap out radio for pod-
casts or audio books
You are in the car or at the gym
listening to workout mixes or the
radio. That is great and there is
nothing wrong with that kick of
motivation when you need it.
However, one simple swap you
can make is downloading audio
books and podcasts instead. This
has a few cool ramifications. One
is that you are getting smarter
and learning.
Whether it is a self-improve-
ment book or a business-related
podcast, you are learning during
under-utilised times. The second
key factor of this swap is that by
listening to it now in the car, you
are freeing up time later in your
schedule when you might other-
wise have been reading.
Finally, there is the added ben-
efit that during those podcasts
or audio books, you could have
major strikes of inspiration that
open up where the radio would
never have taken you.
Body: Swap out sugary energy
drinks for fruit
Avoid the sugar crash that
comes from energy drinks and
improve your brain function and
health by swapping them out for
fruit. Fruit can give you the boost
of natural sugars and energy you
need in a much healthier way. It
is a simple swap that can make a
huge difference in your health.
The other added benefit of this
swap is that consuming energy
drinks can sometimes have the
unwanted side effect of keeping
you too stimulated resulting in
poor quality sleep or less sleep.
That makes you tired, which
makes you want an energy drink
the next day. Break the cycle with
this simple swap and see your
mood and sleep improve.
Spirit: Swap out cannot with
how can?
Nothing is more depressing than
a bad attitude. Naysayers and
downers are no fun to be around.
Are you one of them? Stop focus-
ing on cannot and start asking
yourself and others how it might
just be possible.
Opening yourself up to the pos-
sibility of how can I? leaves a
lot of space for good ideas and
inventive solutions in life and
business.
It is a life approach that starts
with swapping out your vocabu-
lary and can open you up to pos-
sibilities instead of closing doors
on ideas.

He would peel potatoes
to get a meal. Garages were
his abode at night. This was
the teenage life of George Ka-
munya in Nyeri town.
Today he is a preacher who
says he is doing things dier-
ently from his peers. Besides
giving my ock spiritual nour-
ishment, I teach them a lesson
or two in investment, he says.
The former homeless man
now known as Bishop Ka-
munya heads the Oasis of
Grace Church located at OTC
in Nairobi.
The preacher says that
about three quarters of people
in Nairobi live in poor neigh-
bourhoods while many more
are homeless. The man of God
says the squalid life he led has
seen him come up with ideas
on helping others come out of
a similar quagmire.
Even if you preach to peo-
ple who are homeless and you
cant settle them, the spiritual
nourishment leaves a vacuum
in their lives since they are hu-
man. There is a need to change
them. The church should be a
place of rescue for human
beings, Mr Kamunya told
Money.
And instead of turning to the
now popular panda mbegu (sow
the seed) and anointing oil, Mr
Kamunya has come up with a
plan which he says his church
members can tap into to come
out of the yoke of poverty.
His organisation, Grace
Time Society (GTS), has ben-
eted 150 people.
Three quarters of his church
congregation are members of
the group. GTS educates the
members on the need to invest
by buying shares and making
savings of between Sh100,000
and Sh300,000.
They are then introduced to
SME nancier, African Com-
munity Finance Trust (ACFT),
which gives them loans.
In a nutshell, the role of
GTS is to tap what they have
while ACFT is a scheme to
give them loans, Mr Kamunya
notes.
The money is used to buy
plots to build permanent
houses. Other members have
started income-generating
ventures like grocery stalls,
shops, hardware stores, and
poultry rearing.
I give them the example of
small chamas for women which
excel. Why should the church
be poor?
Last year, the group bought
15 acres of land at Janelle
estate along the Nairobi-Kan-
gundo Road near KBC. Mr Ka-
munya is working on another
project to acquire 45 acres in
Kitengela.
After buying the land,
through the organisations
committee, he subdivides it
into eighth-of-an-acre plots for
members.
The aim of this project is to
settle people in a simple and
less costly way, he said.
Besides, the project has
plans to construct a hospital
along Kangundo Road by Sep-
tember this year.
The concept, according to
the pastor, is to enable mem-
bers to access medical care
and own property.
During church services, the
bishop advises the faithful to
avoid being extravagant and
instead save because every
coin counts.
In five years, he believes
that the church members will
be in a position to give better
oertories and tithes because
of increased earnings.
The project does not shut
its doors to non-members of
the church, he said, adding
that at the moment, the major
challenge is getting nancial
sponsors.
Mr Kamunya credits his suc-
cess to Rev Christopher arap
Mutai, Bishop Cyrus Yego,
Reverend Mwini Kimuyu, Dep-
uty Bishop Georey Gichure,
and Mrs Stella Wanjama.

WEALTH MANAGEMENT PATRICK WAMEYO
Discipline is the nuts and bolts of wealth creation
FELLOW Christian and Muslim brothers,
allow me to start o by saying that Jesus
Christ and Mohammed were born babies,
and just like us, without any experience. They
had missions to achieve preset with xed
outcomes, awaiting execution. The secret
to wealth is discipline, and this is common
knowledge. Every child receives discipline
from his parents, whichever way it is
administered. However, discipline only
creates value when it is administered
towards the achievement of a specic
goal.
Take for example, a newly wed
young school teacher aged 30 any-
where in rural Kenya earning less than
Sh20,000. If he remains in the humble
profession, he could easily serve the Teach-
ers Service Commission without growing
his salary more than ve times over the
remaining 25 years of his work life. In fact,
he may retire by 2040 without ever taking
home the salary a young bank clerk his age
does.
Yet the teacher, armed with a clear vision,
discipline, and little income to set aside
every month, disciplined investment action
supported by ability to delay immediate
gratication, is capable of creating small in-
vestments every month over 25 years, many
times more than the young banker who lacks
the same strengths.
A review of their nancial wellness by
2040 will most likely show the teacher with
a growing pool of real wealth and a better
quality life. The young banker will most likely
have just paid o the longest mortgage in
history. Did the teacher have more years of
experience, more economic capital, or more
years than the banker?
I propose to you that the critical capital
is not the publicly acknowledged tangible
economic resources. The rst and the most
important piece of capital everyone has is
ability to envision to think a desired
state several years from today, and to engage
the services of self-motivation to roll up ones
sleeves, with or without economic capital,
to start creating the smallest sample of that
future.
It is the act of identifying the elements of
the vision that are achievable with minimal
economic capital, and taking action to pro-
duce learning through results, that create
wealth. It eliminates fear by replacing it with
a personal experience and a proven expansi-
ble opportunity. Economic capital is required
to build on the experience, to expand, not to
create wealth.

to help his ock build houses

CIC Insurance: Since its listing in
July 2012 at Sh3.50 per share, CIC
has grown by over 100 per cent. Ac-
cording to CICs biggest shareholder
and Cooperative Bank boss Gideon
Muriuki, the stock has established
good fundamentals after expanding
into micro-insurance business.
Mr Muriuki holds 4.68 per cent
stake. The insurer has plans to extend
share capital to Sh6 billion from Sh3
billion and is seeking a Sh3 billion war
chest to venture into real estate. CIC
gained by 93 per cent between Janu-
ary and May to close at Sh10.70 per
share last Friday.
Investors who took positions at
Sh5 per share with an investment
of Sh250,000 have seen it grow by
about Sh70,000 a month over the
past four months.
The head of risk compliance at Dyer
and Blair Investment Bank, Mr Daniel
Waweru, says CICs rise has been due
to the medium- and long-term inves-
tors who have been drying out the
speculative ones.
It reversed gains made from a high
of Sh7.30 per share on March 4 to a
low of 6.50 per share before climbing
to Sh8 by March 19. Then, it dipped to
Sh7.65 before moving beyond Sh10
in April.
He notes that CICs movement has
frustrated speculative investors. On
Monday, the stock opened at Sh11.25
per share.
KCB: Last week, KCB announced a
28.7 per cent rise in net prot for the
rst quarter of 2014 to post Sh3.9
billion. The jump was buoyed by an 11
per cent upswing in interest income,
which hit Sh10.8 billion.
This boosted the stocks perform-
ance to Sh51 per share on Friday last
week before closing at Sh50 per unit.
In the past two weeks, over 50 mil-
lion KCB shares have changed hands.
The head of Investax Capital, Mr
Ndindi Nyoro, says, The stock is
about to start trading ex-dividend
and this is the right time for investors
to cash in.
The stock has climbed to Sh51, up
from Sh35.50 traded a year ago.
Investors have made gains of about
18 per cent in the past two months
and 70 per cent in the past year.
On Monday, KCB opened at Sh50
before dropping to Sh49.50 per
share in early trading.
The stock is currently trading at
greedy and is unlikely to go beyond
Sh52. Once it hits ex-dividend, the
price will likely reverse the gains
made, says Mr Nyoro.
For long-term investors, Ms Mau-
reen Kirigua, a research analyst at

quarter one results and diversication

that the stock shall remain forceful in

Joyce Nthiga never imagined
that her decision to decline em-
ployment and instead venture
into business would turn out to
be an income-generating oppor-
tunity for many people.
The Bachelor of International
Business degree holder is a direc-
tor at Paddy Micro-Investments,
a company that runs PesaPata.
Operating under one of its tar-
is, Tujenge, Paddy lends money
to individuals through M-Pesa.
The challenge she sometimes
experiences is that potential cus-
tomers usually confuse PesaPata
for M-Shwari. The dierence be-
tween the two platforms, she
says, is that customers are not
required to deposit any amount
in their accounts to qualify for a
PesaPata loan, unlike M-Shwari.
Besides the cash being availa-
ble for any Safaricom mobile sub-
scriber with an M-Pesa account,
anybody can become an agent
with PesaPata just by depositing
some amount in their accounts
upon enrolling with PesaPata.
Once this has been done, the per-
son is listed as an agent and will
receive double amount based on
his or her deposits and thereafter
start lending the money, says Ms
Nthiga.
However, one must clearly
establish the creditworthiness of
potential borrowers.
A customer is required to pay
back the debt within 30 days at 10
per cent interest.
PesaPata was developed to
provide a platform where custom-
ers can borrow cash not exceed-
ing Sh20,000, she says.
Repayment
We are, however, evaluat-
ing the entire business and we
may consider increasing the
loan repayment period and the
amount, depending how the
market responds. I think if we are
to increase the period, it will not
exceed six months, she says.
Both the agent and PesaPata
benets every time transactions
are made and the prots made at
the end of the month are shared
between Safaricom, Paddy, and
the agent.
According to the trader, this is
what makes the business unique
and ideal for anybody because
one can do it as a part-time job.
Customers are classied either
as certicate, bronze, silver, or
gold, depending on the frequency
of borrowing and paying loans.
Asked why she chose the M-
Pesa and Safaricom platform, she
says, Safaricom has a wide net-
work compared to its rivals. But
we havent ruled out working with
Airtel. Airtel is the second largest
mobile subscriber network and
we wouldnt like to lock out users
as we target two million agents at
the end of the year, up from the
140 we have currently.
Mutual respect
We encourage shop and kiosk
owners to partner with us because
they understand their customers
better. Paddy is always out of the
picture in the transactions. The
agent lends to his/her customers
based on mutual respect, trust,
and faithfulness, she adds.
PesaPata has won several
business awards and has 35 em-
ployees, up from the six whom
it started with in 2008. It has
outlets in Nairobi, Mombasa,
Eldoret, Kisumu, Nakuru, Meru,
and Embu among other urban
areas even as it sets its eyes on
the East African market.
PesaPata initially depended
on lending cash to customers
through cards, but it has since
switched to digital platforms to
reduce the risks and step up ef-
ciency.

Pumpkins are widely known
for their food value. The fruits
are boiled and eaten while the
leaves provide nutritious veg-
etables. However, Rina Malova, a
farmer from Emuchenje village,
in Khwisero, has brought new
meaning to the crop by making
pumpkin chapati.
Ms Malova, 37, is making good
money from the new venture.
She uses the leafy plant she
started growing in 2004 on her
small farm as the key ingredient.
She is a member of the
Kakamega County Smallholder
Farmers Network that brings
together women doing agri-busi-
ness in Khwisero, Emuhaya, Vi-
higa, and Kakamega counties.
Due to high demand for her
chapati, Ms Malova now buys
pumpkins from her neighbours
because those from her farm
are not enough. And here is her
secret: The pumpkins must be
ripe and of high quality to give
the best products.
On a good day, Ms Malova
earns up to Sh3,000 from the
sale of pumpkin chapati. Ripe
and good quality pumpkins usu-
ally give me a minimum of 200
pieces of chapati, depending on
the size. Each piece goes for
Sh15, she adds.
Living standards
Her earnings have improved
the living standards of her family
and she has bought a heifer with
the proceeds. I nowadays help
my husband, Andrew Opwolo,
in fending for our family. In the
past, he struggled alone, which
was hard for him, especially pay-
ing school fees, she says.
There is ready market and high
demand for the chapatis and even
pumpkin seeds that can be eaten
raw or roasted. I no longer trek
to hawk my chapatis. My custom-
ers come looking for me because
of their quality and nutritional
value, she notes.
The farmers group has ben-
eted from the public nancing
for agriculture, whose main
purpose is to advocate increased
investment in farming with the
focus on women and smallholder
growers.
The members usually hold ex-
change programmes where they
visit various places to learn and
get new ideas. They have inter-
acted with their peers from West
Pokot, Kisii, and Homa Bay.
Fresh ideas
We have travelled far and
wide, thanks to the Action-
Aid-funded project which has
exposed us to fresh ideas. We
managed to learn a lot from the
success stories we encountered
out there, she said.
Part of the programme man-
date is to supply growers with
certied crop seeds in addition
to training and the exposure
visits. This is to encourage farm-
ers to become sucient in food
production regardless of the size
of their land.
I decided to try pumpkin
farming since it required a small
space and is less labour-inten-
sive, she says.
She lets her plants meander all
over the fence surrounding her
farm to create space for as many
stems as possible for increased
yields. The tactic has worked in
her favour.
Dr Martins Odendo, attached
to Kenya Agriculture Research
Institute (KARI) in Kakamega,
said pumpkin is one of most
sought-after vegetables due to its
numerous nutritional values.
Pumpkins provide nutritious
leaves and fruit. It is one of the
plants that Kari has been pro-
moting, although farmers can
easily get the seeds at agrovets
and decide which variety is ideal
for them, he said
Nonetheless, not all pumpkins
are ideal for making chapatis.
You might notice bres in
some varieties. Such are not
ideal for making dough, said Ms
Malova. Dr Odendo concurs.
Ms Malova explains how she
makes chapati from pumpkins.
First, you need to clean and peel
a ripe pumpkin. Cut and remove
the inner layers, which contain
seeds, before chopping it into
small pieces. You then boil the
pieces for about 15 minutes.
Once ready, you thoroughly
mix it with little water to made
into chapatis. One cooks the
pumpkin dough the same way as
wheat our.
Large-scale production
Ms Malova plans to take a
loan, lease land, and venture
into large-scale pumpkin produc-
tion. That is the only way I can
maximise output and, of course,
prots from the plant.
Ms Malova also faces several
challenges, among them erratic
weather patterns, lack of land,
and theft of pumpkins from her
farm, especially at night. This
makes her incur huge losses.

As a contractor, I found your article
on contractors all risks (CAR) insur-
ance very illuminating. One enquiry, I
was advised this cover is one among
various classes of engineering insur-
ance. Do you mind giving more insight
on this type of cover?
B.S.S., Nairobi

Engineering insurance is a very useful
but probably least known type of cover.
The concept of this insurance is to pro-
vide material damage cover for contract
works, protecting all parties involved.
Valid for the duration of construction,
it also protects the insured against em-
ployees negligence. It is usually com-
bined with third party liability cover and
is adaptable to the needs of all parties.
CAR is in the same genre with other
types of engineering insurance. For
example, there is civil engineering
completed risks insurance that can be
purchased by both private enterprises
and public authorities to cover roads,
runways, bridges, tunnels, dams, canal
systems, weirs, harbours, sewerage sys-
tems and what have you. It gives cover
against such hazards as earthquakes,
volcanic eruption, tsunami; storm; ood
and inundation; subsidence, landslide,
rock fall or any other movement of
earth.
I can only hope county government
ocials are listening. Engineering insur-
ance can be arranged to cover a host of
complete infrastructure projects against
a wide array of risks.
Other classes of engineering cover
are: machinery and machinery loss of
prots, electronic equipment, compre-
hensive prot and/or comprehensive
machinery, agricultural engineering
risks, aero engine breakdown and dete-
rioration of stock insurance.
Machinery insurance was developed
to grant industry eective cover for
plant, machinery and mechanical
equipment at work, at rest or during
maintenance works. Also known as
machinery breakdown, the product
complements the cover aorded by re
insurance. Thus, it covers unforeseen
and sudden physical loss of, or damage
to, the insured items, necessitating their
repair or replacement. Ideally, all types
of machinery, plant and mechanical
equipment may be covered under it. If
possible, all the machines of a plant or
workplace or of a separate site should
be included in the cover in order to
ensure that the risk is adequately bal-
anced.
You might also have heard of elec-
tronic equipment insurance. The
product covers all electrical and elec-
tronic systems such as electronic data
processing units, electronic equipment
for medical use, communication facili-
ties, lighting and navigation facilities
and equipment for research and mate-
rial testing.
The cover is given in three sections:
for material damage, data media and
increased cost of working. Under ma-
terial damage, electronic equipment
insurance covers sudden and unfore-
seen losses which physically aect the
subject matter insured. For data media,
cover is provided on a rst-loss basis
both for material value of the external
equipment used in computing and for
the costs of reprocessing and restoring
lost information. Further, in the event of
a breakdown, the required computing
capacity is hired, then the increased
cost of working insurance applies. It
covers such expenses as hire charges,
transport costs for data media and per-
sonnel, expenses for accommodation
away from base, night-work or work on
public holidays and the like.
As a whole, engineering insurance is
backed by strong global reinsurance se-
curities that enhance capacity for local
rms to underwrite even mega risks.
