NEW STRUCTURE | Report by salaries commission proposes major changes in remuneration of state and public ocials
President to top pay list under new rules

Serem team rules out increments unless the public is willing to pay more taxes
BY SAMWEL BORN MAINA
@Bornmaina sborn@ke.nationmedia.com new salary structure has placed the President as the highest paid government ocial in Kenya while Resident Magistrates, Kadhis and Members of County Assembly have been ranked as the lowest-paid state ocers. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) with the assistance of PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) which conducted a job evaluation for all State oces has created 112 state oces, up from the current 50. The commission has set the Presidents salary at a maximum of Sh1.6 million. At one point, the head of the anti-corruption authority was the highest paid public servant with a salary of Sh2.5 million, higher than President Kibakis salary. However, the salary was reduced when Mr Justice (rtd) Aaron Ringera left the oce. Yesterday, SRC chairperson Sarah Serem said the current wage bill does not allow for any public or state ocer to get a salary increment unless the public is willing to pay more taxes. We will only recommend salary increments once the current wage bill returns to normalcy, she said. Under the new structure, the President was placed at level G due to his enormous work of being responsible for cross-national, regional and global strategy formulation. The new grading structure has also reduce the powers of the chairpersons of the Parliamentary and Judicial Service commissions whose positions were initially graded as the fth most powerful in the government pecking order. The two are now a rank lower and at the same levels as the heads of other commissions. According to the SRC report, the role of the Auditor-General was not comparable to that of the Controller of Budget. The evaluators, therefore, agreed that the Audi-

tor General be more powerful. The evaluators also said there was need to separate elective positions from appointed one in the grading structure. It was noted that elective positions should not have any salary progression, the report said in yet another blow to the perennial push by MPs to raise their pay. It was also a big win for the Chief Registrar whose powers were increased to E5, making the job holder the sixth most powerful person in government service. The oce holder will enjoy privileges accorded to the Controller of Budget, Members of Parliament and Deputy Governors. Also it was a big score for the chairs of the electoral commission and the Constitution Implementation Commission, as their powers were increased to F2, which means they will enjoy privileges previously accorded to the Chief of Defence forces, Cabinet Secretaries, the Attorney General and Supreme Court judges. Additional powers were also given to the commission secretaries who will be in the same level as the Registrar of Political Parties and other commissioners and vice chairs of constitutional bodies. The report has also recommended that the position of Secretary to the Cabinet be graded at the same level as other Cabinet Secretaries. It also recommends that the Principal Secretary in charge of nance be graded higher than other principal secretaries. Similarly, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission will be graded higher than other commissions because it has a more dicult and riskier mandate. Although PwC used the USA and South Africa for comparative bench-marking, Ms Serem said the salaries of state ocials in Kenya could not be at par with those of their counterparts in those countries due to the prevailing economic conditions. In US, the Presidents salary is set at

Terror attack mall to undergo repairs

BY NATION REPORTER
The Westgate mall that was attacked by Al-Shabaab terrorists last year should undergo partial construction before it is reopened, a committee has recommended. According to a report by the Committee on the Rapid Restoration of the mall, the Nakumatt supermarket upper parking bay, which was heavily damaged, will undergo construction from scratch while other sections will only be refurbished before businesses are allowed back. The building was destroyed as security forces tackled terrorists who had invaded the mall. The attack left 67 people dead and more than 200 others injured. Most parts of the building, the committee found out, were stable and had only been peppered with bullet holes hence required only be refurbishment, according to the report, which is expected to be ready next week.

UNDER SIEGE | Auditor-Generals report has exposed massive sleaze, claims Khalwale
Trouble awaits more governors as EACC launches graft probe

Senate team summons nine county bosses on claims of misusing funds
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 raising concerns over the stability of county governments. Mr Wambora was impeached for violating the Public Procurement and Disposal Act 2005 and Regulations 2013, the Public Finance and Management Act and the Constitution. Yesterday, an official at the Kenya National Audit Bureau said the Auditor-General had concluded an audit in all 47 counties and the reports, which have unearthed irregularities, are set to be tabled in Parliament. Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale, who chaired the team that recommended Mr Wamboras sacking, proposed that governors found to have misappropriated public funds be surcharged. There is a shocking high level of sleaze, which has been exposed by the Auditor-General, he said. According to Dr Khalwale, one governor spent Sh1 million to rent a public address system. Why the tantrums when these people dont even provide any documentary evidence for the expenditure? he posed. These developments came as the Senate Committee on Finance chaired by Mr Billow Kerrow said it had summoned nine governors to appear before it over abuse of oce. Those summoned were Mr Jack Ranguma (Kisumu), Mr Ken Lusaka (Bungoma), Mr Isaac Ruto (Bomet), Mr Samuel Tunai (Narok), Mr Julius Malombe (Kitui) and Mr Hussein Dado (Tana River). Others are Mr William Kabogo (Kiambu), Mr Kinuthia Mbugua (Nakuru) and Mr Ahmed Abdullahi (Wajir). Yesterday, Mr Kerrow said the impeachment of the Embu Governor Martin Wambora was not a revenge attack against failure by some governors to honour a Senate Committees summons. He said the Senators acted in accordance with the Constitution after the County Assembly forwarded its verdict to the Senate. Those terming our move as a witch-hunt are not sincere. The Senate has no powers to originate an impeachment process. The process must start at the County level, said Mr Kerrow. However, Mr Isaac Ruto, who is also the Council of Governors chairman, said county bosses would only appear before the Senate for consultations on nancial matters. Governors will not honour summons on abuse of office allegations as they are not accounting ocers, he said. We are moving to court today

In Wajir, an anti-corruption lobby said it had written to the Auditor-General and the EACC over corruption allegations in the county. The chairman of Wajir AntiCorruption and Justice Forum, Mr Mohamed Abikar, said they supported the Senate decision to summon the Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi over allegations of abuse of oce.

Mr Odinga is also expected to meet the National Elections Board amidst claims there are attempts to manipulate the partys delegates register ahead of the National Delegates Conference (NDC) slated for this month.

However, speaking at the burial of one-time parliamentary aspirant JP Mwanzia in Enziu location, Mwingi, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka urged members to be patient and allow for democratic elections without creating tension of there being any schemes. Area MP Joe Mutambu said his interest in the chairmanship of the party had earned him enmity with the current chairman, Mr David Musila, something that Mr Musyoka denied saying that every member was free to vie for any seat and that Mr Musila was not harbouring any grudge against Mr Mutambu. The MP claimed that past party elections have had names of dead delegates, so as to vote in ocials desired by party leadership. I will vie for the chairmanship no matter what and it is up to the delegates to decide whether they will vote me in or not and come 2017, our party leader should vie for presidency, and if he is not interested let the party feud another candidate said Mutambu. However, Mr Musyoka responded by urging the MP to be patient and play underground politics. Deputy President William Ruto has vowed that the Jubilee government will not relent in its bid to weed out corruption in the national and county governments.

Mr Ruto put on notice public servants bent on committing bribery and other forms of corruption, saying gone are the days when government ocials stole from public coers and went unpunished. The Constitution, he said, was clear that public resources must only be invested in the right areas. If you know you have been given authority by Kenyans, you must understand that it comes with responsibility, which is accompanied by accountability. Those in power can no longer do things irregularly. We must abide by the law and protect the interests of Kenyans, he said.

EDUCATION | Over 4,000 institutions to be supplied with electricity by June under ambitious project
Plan to power schools for laptops

More than 3,000 teachers trained to instruct others in counties, MPs told
BY OUMA WANZALA
@Iwanzala owanzala@ke.nationmedia.com ore than 4,000 primary schools will be supplied with electricity before June to ensure they implement the free laptops project. So far, about 10,157 schools have already been connected to electricity. Those that are far from a power line will have to rely on solar energy. Kenya has 20,367 primary schools with 10.5 million pupils. Of these, about 1.2 million will be supplied with free laptops. On February 6, the tender for the supply of the laptops was awarded to Olive Telecommunication PVT Limited at a cost of Sh24.7 billion. Besides the laptops, the company will also supply projectors and printers to each school. Dr Belio Kipsang, the Principal Secretary for Education told the Education, Science and Technology Committee of the National Assembly which is chaired by Ms Sabina Chege that the government will save Sh8 billion under the new contract. In the earlier one which was cancelled, the lowest bidder had quoted about Sh32 billion. Pupils joining Class One will be given a laptop while a whole school access approach will be implemented in the second and third years of implementation in which learners will access a laptop on need basis, he said. The content for Standard One pupils has been piloted in 40 primary schools to ensure that it meets curriculum objectives. Content for Standard Three to Standard Eight is being developed. Mechanisms have been developed to vet digital content developed by other publishers, Dr Kipsang said. He acknowledged that schools were, at present, not prepared for digital learning with a PC to pupil ratio of 1:1,000. Only about 200 schools have functional ICT equipment. Since 2004, an ICT curriculum has been in place in teacher training colleges. Over the period, a pool of 72,000 teachers have been trained and possess ICT competence though majority of them are still unemployed, Dr Kipsang said. Most of the serving 180,000 teachers in primary schools lack ICT literacy and need to be trained. Dr Kipsang said that in Nairobi about 700 teachers had been trained and were ready to use the devices for teaching and learning. Training for other teachers is expected to be completed by April. At least 3,000 teachers have been trained to train their colleagues in counties. Each of these is expected to train at least three teachers.

It continues, there will be no late registration of candidates after the closure of the registration and receipt of registration materials by Knec. In as such, the last form should be signed by the candidates to accredit that all the details they have submitted are accurate. Candidates have until March 31 to register for the examination and can do so by logging onto the councils website, www.knec-portal.ac.ke, and download the registration forms. Knec has maintained that no hard copies will be accepted. No hard copies of photographs should be submitted to Knec by private candidates and schools presenting candidates for the 2014 KCPE and KCSE registration, reads the circular.

ICC prosecutor to call three witnesses as defence opposes summons request
BY DAVE OPIYO
@DaveOpiyo dopiyo@ke.nationmedia.com he trial of Deputy President William Ruto and former radio journalist Joshua arap Sang is set to resume today in The Hague after a two-week break. Three witnesses P-464, P-409, and P-323, have been lined up by the prosecution to testify, as they seek to prove that the duo played a major role in the 2007/8 post-election violence. Witness P-464 or Mr Herve Maupeu, is a European-based expert, who is expected to provide the historical roots of the violence. The Deputy President and Mr Sang are facing charges of murder, deportation and persecution in relation to the violence that led to the deaths of more than 1,000 people with at least 650,000 others being rendered homeless. But before this happens, the International Criminal Court judges will grant Deputy Prosecutor James Stewart time to respond to Attorney General Githu Muigais last weeks submissions on a motion BACKGROUND that would have compelled the government to produce seven witnesses who recanted their testimony. Last week, Prof Muigai said if the witnesses were not willing to testify, then they will not assist the prosecution to facilitate their appearance in court. Prof Muigai said the court should not contemplate issuing an order for Kenya to summon the witnesses as this violates the Rome Statute. The defence teams for Mr Ruto led by lawyer Karim Khan and Mr Sang who is represented by Mr Katwa Kigen have also opposed the motion. They described the motion as inconsistent with the Rome Statute and Kenyan law. The two lawyers will also be granted time to make their submissions on the motion. The prosecution had requested the trial chamber to exercise its powers to summon witnesses who have recanted their testimony.

Man seized with ivory to face charges

A Chinese man who was arrested as he allegedly attempted to smuggle ivory is expected to be charged before a Nairobi court today. Mr Ou Kaiming, 32, was arrested on Friday night at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on suspicion that he tried to smuggle 0.68 kg of ivory from Maputo to China. Kenya Wildlife Service communication ocer Paul Mbugua, while sending a strong warning to would be ivory and other game trophies smugglers in the country, said KWS was determined to stamp out the vice.

It has become imperative that the service examine and evaluate the traditional and current wildlife management model systems and structures in view of adopting best practices and align them to global collaborative excellence, he said. He said in the next 100 days, the officers would be expected to change their way of doing business and maximise results notwithstanding the available human resource in the sector.

Titanium exports raise hopes for more

Both county and national governments are set to generate higher revenues, which have potential to transform livelihoods

@beckyakinyi rokwany@ke.nationmedia.com
he export of titanium ore from Kwale County has ignited fresh hopes of creating more direct and indirect jobs and improving the economy of the South Coast. Both the county and national governments are set to generate higher revenues, which have the potential to transform livelihoods and improve the business environment with more investors expected in the region to open up banks, transport and other service industries. Base Titanium Ltd, the company that exported its rst cargo of 25,000 tonnes of ilmenite last Thursday, will be paying royalties and other fees to be shared out between the two levels of government over the next 13 years during which the project will remain active. It is expected that the declining hospitality sector in the region would be revamped and more indirect jobs created, which could, in turn, improve area residents wealth. Already, the company has employed 510 workers from the South Coast. Mr Simon Wall, the rms manager for external aairs, said Base Titanium had employed 90 per cent of its workers from Kenya. Of these, 60 per cent were from Kwale County. Some of the employees have been trained on how to use highly specialised equipment. The company has also given a modern shing boat complete with equipment for use by members of the Likoni Beach Management Unit. Apart from direct jobs, area residents also have the opportunity to start agri-businesses to supply the workforce with milk, vegetables and other food items. The company has built a power line that links Galu sub-station and connected to the national grid that supplies the area with electricity, Mr Wall said. This means that many households and businesses in the region are now closer to the national electricity grid, increasing their chances of being connected. Mr Wall said the company had improved health centres in the area and built roads

Company will earn Sh130bn in revenue

The Kwale mining project will produce 340,000 tonnes of ilmenite, about 10 per cent of the annual global supply. It will also produce 80,000 tonnes of rutile and 30,000 tonnes of zircon annually. In the life span of the project, the company is expected to produce 250 million tonnes of the mineral from South Coast. Over the next 13 years, Base Titanium expects to earn about Sh130 billion in revenues while the government will earn Sh18 billion in taxes and royalties. Once the project is completed, the land will revert to agricultural use and will be irrigated using a dam constructed by the mining company.
for use by the community. This legacy of infrastructure will be left to the county and the government once the 13-year mining life ends, he said. Once the project comes to an end, the land will revert to agricultural use and will be irrigated from the Mukurumudzi dam, which has a capacity of holding eight million cubic litres of water. While overseeing the rst shipment of ore which was being sold to a Chinese company that makes paint, Mining Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala said that although it had taken long for the exports to start,

due process had to be followed for the benet of Kenyans. Mr Balala acknowledged that there had been misunderstandings by the government and the local community, but these had been resolved and that more negotiations were ongoing. He said the government had supported the investment through a Sh1 billion compensation plan to the community and a taxation waiver for the company. The government provided 4,250 acres to enable this capital investment partnership to be realised despite many challenges at the start of the Sh35 billion investment, he said. Base Titanium general manager external aairs development Joe Schwarz said the company had made a transition from development, operations and now export after tough times. In coming years minerals will surpass other sectors of the economy, he said. The Australian High Commissioner to Kenya, Mr Geo Tooth, said the exports would transform livelihoods and the economy. Kenya is now ripe, open for business and a mining boom. It is expected that with the condence levels growing, more

investors will come to mine, he said last Thursday. However, two Coast governors and a Woman Representative at the weekend protested over the export, saying, Mr Balala had ignored them. Kwale governor Salim Mvurya, his Mombasa counterpart, Mr Hassan Joho and the Kwale woman representative, Ms Zeinab Chidzuga, said Mr Balala had failed to consult them before issuing the mining company with licences. The Cabinet Secretary issued the export licence without consulting the county government and the leaders, Mr Mvurya said. Mr Joho said: We support development, but it should be now known that there is a distinct government at the county and it cannot be ignored. The leaders were speaking at a press brieng in Mombasa at the weekend.

First load of mineral exported after 18 years of waiting

After 18 years of waiting due to rows in the multi-billion titanium mining in Kwale County, the rst shipment of the mineral has nally left Kenya. Since 1998 when Canadian rm Tiomin Resource Incorporated was authorised by the government to engage in mining in Kwale, the project was faced various problems, including compensation of those to be aected, environmental concerns and how local communities and the county government was going to benet. However, after these concerns were addressed and the project taken over by a new entity called Base Titanium, last Thursday saw the rst shipment of titanium leave Mombasa port. Base Titanium nally loaded 25,000 tonnes of Ilmenite, an extract of titanium, for export to China. That was part of the estimated 330,000 tonnes to be shipped out every year. Lack of an agreement between the government and the company had contributed to the delay in shipping the rst consignment. According to the revised proposed royalties by the Mining ministry, the company is required to pay 10 per cent of gross sales from titanium ores and Zircon. Previously, it was three per cent, as was stipulated in the old Mining Act. The company claims the rate is exorbitant and needs to be negotiated. At the rate of three per cent royalty, during the mines life span of 15 years, it is expected that from the titanium ore, Base Titanium shall earn about Sh130 billion and the government Sh18 billion in tax and royalties.

Mechanism must be put in place so that the economy and lifestyle of the people improve where there is mineral exploration
Prof Halimu Shauri
director Yusuf Lule said the proposal by the national government was the consensus on the sharing of the royalty. The new royalties are supposed to be shared by the county government, benet the national government and the local community. But the reluctance by the investor to adhere to the requirement makes the mineral consignment to delay, he said. The chairman of Pwani University Department of Social Sciences, Prof Halimu Shauri, said investors were only interested in big profits, but were not keen to share earnings equitably. Prof Shauri claimed that the company mined without regard to the laws and regulations of the land. They mined the titanium ore and are faced with the diculty to export. Why dont they comply? he posed. The government should negotiate
without compromise with the investor to ensure the community enjoys benets from mineral ventures in Kwale County, according to the don. Mechanism must be put in place so that the economy and lifestyle of the people improves where there is mineral exploration, he said.
Global output
According to the companys estimates, 330,000 tonnes of ilmenite would be produced a year, which is about 10 per cent of the global supply. Further, 80,000 tonnes of rutile, 14 per cent of global output, and 30,000 tonnes of zircon will be mined per year. Meanwhile, controversy surrounds the mining of nobium after the license of Cortec Mining (Kenya) Ltd that was to undertake the project was cancelled.

Team exposed how shadowy rms were awarded licences months before polls
BY PATRICK MAYOYO
pmayoyo@ke.nationmedia.com team formed to investigate the awarding of mining permits revealed glaring irregularities in the issuance of licences between January and May 2013. The report of the Task Force on Review of Prospecting, Exploration and Mining licences appointed by Mining Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala last year shows that some companies received licences without meeting mandatory conditions spelt out in law. Some licences were issued without proof of the companys ability to put them to use, while others did not demonstrate nancial capacity, the report adds. Others were issued without proof that the statutory fees had been paid or on the strength of mining deposits for a dierent licence. After receiving the report, Mr Balala announced that an administrative committee was to scrutinise the recommendations and advise on its implementation. Other rms were issued permits despite lacking registration records, bank statements, not having paid statutory fees to the ministry and in some cases, licences were issued without the consent of local authorities. The taskforce, chaired by Mr Mohammed Nyaoga(right),
Oil rm threatened as locals push for deeds

BY NATION CORRESPONDENTS
The ongoing exploration by Tullow Oil in Kerio Valley, Baringo County, could come to a halt, after locals threatened to move to court to block the exercise if the government fails to issue them with title deeds. Residents who spoke to the Nation during a fact nding mission in the area recently, expressed fears that if the exploration makes a breakthrough, they would not benet much as the land is still communal. We also want a clear policy on how we will benet from the project. Our crops were destroyed during the oil exploration but weve not been compensated, said Mr Zephaniah Chebet. Local leaders led by County Assembly members Joseph Makilap (Barwessa) and Johana Chebon (Kabarnet) have also asked Tullow Oil to abide by all the agreements made with the locals before embarking on the project, including opening up of the road network in the area, to avoid unnecessary conicts. We do not want our people to be short-changed. We should avoid a repeat of what was witnessed in Turkana, said Mr Chebon. Tullow representative in the area Bethuel Sang has assured locals that the oil company would involve them in activities they have set to undertake in the area. We are still in the initial stages. If we discover oil, the residents are set to benet a lot. We will compensate all people whose crops are damaged, said Mr Sang. Apart from community projects which include water pans, he said, the company had also nalised plans to partner with the county to award bursaries to bright students from block 12A where the project falls adding that the bursary fund had been increased to Sh5 million, up from Sh3 million last year.
found that 15 rms had been issued licences while 28 others were in various stages of getting them. Mr Balala revoked all permits awarded between January and May, saying that the rush just before the March 4 General Election was suspect. He also suspended Mr Moses Masibo, the commissioner of mines. The licences were to be reviewed and the aected rms were to make submissions to the taskforce, but only 22 of the 43 companies whose licences were suspended made their submissions to the task force. Cortec Kenya, which had obtained mining rights on the Mrima Hills Project located in Kwale County, which are estimated to hold as much as $100 billion worth of rare earth minerals was one of the rms that is aected. However, it did not make submissions to the taskforce but oered to challenge decision in court.
We should avoid a repeat of what was witnessed in Turkana.

Meanwhile, Baringo Governor Benjamin Cheboi praised Tullow for their projects in the area, especially the pan dams, saying they would go along way in alleviating perennial water shortages in the area and boost food security through irrigation. We call on our people to support the oil company. The county government is liaising with the national government for the issuance of deeds in the area to be fast-tracked, said Mr Cheboi when he toured the area recently in the company of County executive for Water and Irrigation Job Tomno.

Fight on graft shouldnt turn into witch-hunting

here is a need to strike a balance in the war on corruption to ensure that governors are not unfairly targeted as this could send out the signal that the government and its agencies are out to cripple devolution. While it is important for all public ocers to be held accountable in the way they spend public funds, the application of the law on oenders must be seen to be impartial. If it is not, then this could give credence to claims that governors are being targeted and this could undermine the twin goals of ghting corruption while upholding harmonious relations between the national and devolved governments. In the same vein, governors must desist from hiding behind the cloak of devolution to eece counties of the resources that were meant to boost equitable distribution countrywide. The point of devolution was to bring development closer to the people, not to line the pockets of regional leaders at the expense of the public. The money being shared among counties has the potential to transform them into enviable showcases of development. With public involvement in deciding what projects demand priority, as envisaged in the Constitution, counties could become a reference point of a growth and development model that works. Unfortunately, this is not happening as some counties continue to keep money in their bank accounts and others fail to identify and implement priority projects with the greatest benets to their people. It is encouraging to see dierent public institutions working together to ght corruption in the counties. Going forward, they must show the same zeal in ghting graft at the national level if they are to be seen to be fair and just.

hen I voted for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in the last general election, I did so on the understanding that the party represented all ethnic groups and would safeguard the new Constitution. Even though I did not favour some of the candidates on the ballot paper, I voted along party lines because I believed that ODM would ultimately serve the national interest. It is deeply disappointing, therefore, to realise that some ODM members see the party as a tribal outt where the Luo should always hold leadership positions. It seems that political parties in Kenya are incapable of thinking beyond ethnic lines. So where do I turn? Perhaps there is a third way. Could the answer lie in India, a country that is as polarised as Kenya? Party politics in India has been dominated by two giants: The dynastic Congress Party (which gave the country three prime ministers from the same family the founding father Jawaharlal Nehru, his daughter Indira Gandhi, and her son Rajiv) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a right-wing party whose leader, Narendra Modi, is vying to become prime minister in the elections this year. Neither the Congress nor the BJP oer the
Lessons that Kenyans can learn from India on eective political leadership W
kind of leadership Indias increasingly frustrated middle classes are craving for one that has zero tolerance for the countrys all-consuming corruption and which is not driven by partisan interests. So, motivated by a successful anticorruption movement led by activist Anna Hazare two years ago, a new political party called the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP, or Common Mans Party), was formed. This new party is led by an activist called Arvind Kejriwal. Last month Kejriwal was sworn in as Chief Minister of Delhi, a powerful and much-coveted position. His election suggests that AAP may give both the BJP and the Congress a run for their money in the upcoming elections. AAP promises to end corruption and bad governance. (Kejriwal used public transport to reach his swearing-in ceremony and has prohibited VIP treatment for ministers motorcades). Analysts say that the AAP is a case study that oers insights into how activism can be integrated into mainstream government machinery through democratic means. Romi Jain, writing in The Diplomat, notes that the election of Kejriwal has epochal signicance in Indian politics, demanding a rethink by both experts on the Indian electoral system and theorists of social activism. Jain pulls no punches when she states: This (the election of Kejriwal) should be enlightening for those self-proclaimed activists whose tryst with activism is a social repute-portfolio enhancing exercise that is consummated largely by addressing groups of people, shouting anti-establishment slogans, creating fan pages on Facebook, posting prosaic commentaries, and making the news. Here in Kenya, civil society activists who were vilied by the UhuRuto campaign during the last election as being stooges of the West have sustained their struggle through social and mainstream media, legally challenging the outcome of the elections (which they insist were awed), and also seeking judgements in court on various constitutional violations.
Tribally-motivated political parties have done little to unite the country and activism has turned into a lucrative profession rather than a calling
However, might civil society activists be more eective if they fought for what they believed in through a political party? The AAP may be a rare case of the integration of activism into the mainstream of political authority but it also shows that it is possible to ght a corrupt system by inltrating that very system. Of course, the success of the AAP is the result of a combination of mutually-reinforcing factors, including the right leadership, good timing, strategic thinking, and organisational capacity. It cannot be replicated in every country yearning to liberate itself from bad leadership. Not all activists make good leaders of government, nor is it always desirable for activists to become part of government (where they are less likely to be eective watchdogs). Governments are by nature conservative and self-preserving; they are not an easy t for activists, whose ideals may not translate easily into government policy. Nonetheless, the AAP has important lessons for Kenya, where triballymotivated political parties have done little to unite the country and where activism has turned into a lucrative profession rather than a calling. rasna.warah@gmail.com

The rationing schedule was later changed to Mondays and Fridays, and before they knew it, the water came only once, on Monday, then the supply was then discontinued altogether. The explanation by the water company is about low pressure. He quips: For two months? His account number is 7005436100, and his contact, BOdhiambo@kpa.co.ke.

David adds: Clearly, this is an insult. Who told him that all the lakeside people, including those from Kisumu, Busia, Mwanza, Bukoba, and Entebbe, are idol worshippers?

RIGHT OF REPLY | Paul K. Muite
riting in the Daily Nation of Friday, 7 February, 2014, Dr Joyce Nyairo anchored her arguments on the constitutional theory of supremacy of Parliament and proceeded to opine that it is the failure of the courts to accept this supremacy and their overreaching their mandate in issuing injunction orders against Parliament and county assemblies that has caused the stand-o between the Executive, the Judiciary, and Parliament. With the ratication and promulgation of the 2010 Constitution, Kenyans jettisoned the Westminister constitutional model/arrangement of supremacy of Parliament. This momentous shift was not accidental; it was informed by our history. With the exception to some extent of the rst Parliament, the second, third, fourth, fth, and sixth parliaments (19631992) were largely complicit with the Executive in the exploitation and oppression of the people. This is how an imperial presidency was created, giving rise to corruption, land grabbing, impunity, and poverty which aicted the majority. The seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and regrettably now the eleventh parliaments (1992 to date) have distinguished themselves in a catch-up game with the Executive, lining
New law is about the supremacy of the Constitution, not National Assembly W
ance with this Constitution. This power is delegated by the people to Parliament, the Judiciary, the Executive, and county assemblies. Article 2: Supremacy of this Constitution, to which I have already referred. Article 3: Defence of this Constitution provides that every person has an obligation to respect, uphold, and defend the Constitution. Put simply, the Constitution puts the people at the forefront. Article 165 vests in the Judiciary the exclusive mandate to adjudicate on any question relating to the interpretation of the Constitution. Tellingly, sub-Article (2) (d) (ii) vests in the courts the mandate to decide any question as to whether anything said to be done under the authority of the Constitution or of any law is inconsistent with or in contravention of the Constitution. Sub-Article (2) (d) (iii) vests in the courts the mandate to decide any matter relating to the constitutional powers of State organs. Parliament, county assemblies, and the presidency are State organs (see Article 260). There cannot, therefore, be any doubt whatsoever that the 2010 Constitution provides for the supremacy of the Constitution, not of Parliament. The courts have the mandate to issue injunctive orders against Parliament and county as-
Mr Muite
their pockets instead of serving or advancing Wanjikus interests. When Kenyans put aside the supremacy of Parliament and ushered in the supremacy of the Constitution, they were making a conscious decision based on betrayal over the years by their elected representatives. In the 2010 Constitution, they chose to place their faith, not in their elected representatives, but in themselves through their Constitution. Chapter 1 of the 2010 Constitution is profoundly titled Sovereignty of the People and Supremacy of this Constitution. It consists of only three articles. Article 1: Sovereignty of the People provides that all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accord-
semblies. This is a profoundly potent power that, admittedly, calls for great circumspection in its exercise. For a start, orders injuncting Parliament should not be granted ex parte except in exceptional circumstances. Accordingly, there is no engine failure of our Constitution, as Dr Nyairo suggests. Constitutions, however good, cannot implement themselves. While not perfect (and there is no perfect Constitution in the world), Kenyas new Constitution is good and progressive. Its values and objectives need to be accepted and embraced by us all. The challenge for its full and faithful implementation is political will. Disobedience of court orders, especially by Parliament and the Executive, is not the way to go. In the matrix of balances and checks in the Constitution, the President, as head of the Executive arm of government, is the primus inter pares (rst among equals) vis--vis Parliament and the Judiciary. As such, he has the added responsibility of ensuring harmony between the three arms of government. The inter-play between the Executive, Parliament, and the Judiciary calls for utmost restraint and mutual respect. Mr Muite is a senior counsel. (muite.paul@gmail.com)

Eric, he adds, forgot his jacket containing the passport and some money on the bus. Amos is, therefore, appealing to Eric to urgently contact him on Tel 0725051855 or email: amoswambira@gmail.com to get back his belongings. NOISE POLLUTION. Sports cars and motorbikes should either be kept at home or used only on racing tracks, says Silas Nyambok, wondering why the Nairobi City County government allows the noisy machines to be driven into the central business district. According to Silas, the loud noise triggers alarms in parked cars to go o, allowing street boys to take advantage of the mayhem to break into the vehicles. He is upset that Nema is silent on the nuisance. His contact is ogutawinyo@yahoo.com.

ooking is a positive thing. Many of us complain about the time it takes to go to the grocery store, sit in the trac jam, and cook, but these issues pale in comparison to the real challenges that millions of women face around the world and right here in Kenya. The reality is that the seemingly simple act of cooking a meal constitutes one of the most signicant health and environmental challenges in the world today. Most women in rural communities are up early in the morning as it takes them hours to nd rewood. They then carry heavy loads back home to begin the long process of cooking over an open re or traditional jiko. While cooking they are exposed to harmful smoke and fumes. This prolonged exposure of up to several hours a day, every day, is responsible for the premature loss of four million lives every year from diseases associated with exposure to smoke and has gone unnoticed for far too long. Cooking is essential, but it should not be lethal. The truth is that these are totally preventable deaths. We have the technology, the fuels, and the ability to ensure that no one has to cook the way our ancestors did. We also do not have to travel the world to nd these more ecient and cleaner cooking solutions. They are all available right here in Kenya.
Cooking should not be a matter of death C

We have the technology, the fuels, and the ability to ensure that no one has to cook the way our ancestors did and do not have to travel the world to nd solutions.
So why are we not getting these stoves and fuels to those who need them the most? The simple answer is that we have not made the public aware of the issue, its implications, and the fact that solutions exist. We know the importance of empowering women. How can we say that we are doing that when we are not tackling the issue that is at the core of their lives time spent collecting fuel and cooking. On average we know that women in rural areas spend approximately six to eight hours a day collecting fuel and cooking. More ecient and cleaner stoves can reduce that time by half, leaving many hours to spend educating their children or earning a livelihood for their families and contributing to the economic and social development of their communities. Think of what healthier, more productive lives can do for Kenya. Think of what
cleaner and more ecient stoves and fuels can do for forests and the environment. We may actually have a chance to truly reverse the deforestation that is devastating the country. Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, a public-private partnership led by the United Nations Foundation and consisting of over 900 organisations across six continents is focused on creating awareness about this issue, enhancing the technology and performance of cookstoves, increasing the availability of alternate fuels, strengthening enterprises so they can produce these stoves with consistent high quality, and market and distribute them. The eorts aim to improve livelihoods, empower women, and protect the environment. The organisations country action plan for Kenya targets ve million households adopting clean and ecient stoves and fuels by the year 2020. This has the potential to make Kenya an even bigger leader in the clean cooking sector. Like the great marathon runners of your country, Kenyans have trained for this moment through their experiences, expertise, and passion to innovate and save and improve lives and the environment. It is now time to go. The writer is the executive director of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves

Article on Abrahams People a masterpiece
The Lifestyle article on Jewish entrepreneur and immigrant Abraham Block (Sunday Nation, January 16) by Dr Tom Odhiambo was a masterpiece. I learnt several facts about the owner of Block Hotels. The writer was my lecturer at the University of Nairobi and I can attest to his skills in literature. He obviously knows how to delve into historical annals to carry out a wellresearched article. As for the naysayers who have branded Dr Odhiambo a noisemaker and one who takes criticism of literary works too personal , they should know critiquing literary work does not amount to a personal attack of the author.

TALKING POINT
Senates backing of Wambora sacking has exposed county chiefs to blackmail

or having impeached Embu Governor Wambora, senators must be feeling very proud of themselves. They have been earnestly seeking relevance and nally the impeachment gives them a footing. In the supremacy wars, they have cowed governors and left the National Assemblys ego bruised. At this nascent stage of devolution when everybody is groping in the dark, it suces to just make lot of scary noises to put people in line. Going a step further to remove a governor from oce is set to open a Pandoras box and the precedent set is a dangerous one. The Lancaster House constitution might be on its way back. Without fear of contradiction, Im categorical that not a single governor is innocent of the charges levelled against Mr Wambora. Do we sack them all? As the Senate was deliberating on Mr Wamboras fate, a visiting Columbia University professor, Mohammed Mamdani, was giving a lecture on the fact that courts cannot dare overturn a presidential election for fear of upsetting the system. This is something we all know but are timid to acknowledge. There is a parallel between the presidency and governorship. Governors are the lesser president in their respective counties and there should be unwritten laws, in judicial parlance, that protect them except in very extreme cases like blatant abuse of oce and mental health.
Emails from correspondents
SHORT TAKES
VISITING DAYS PAIN: I noted with concern Mungai Ngiges article regarding school visiting days in the letters page (Saturday Nation, February 15). The school visiting days should be banned in public schools for the sake of equality. It pains students who have no one to look after when relatives fail to turn up. Besides, some parents take the chance to show o, turning up with all sorts of extravagance. This leaves those whose guardians failed to show up feeling unwanted in society. Schools are not fashion parades or trade fairs. GAKONYO KIMANI, Nairobi ODM ELECTIONS: As the ODM campaigns head to the homestretch, the aspirants are likely to be tempted to engage in dirty tricks to win. That is expected since a big party like ODM has high stakes. Any serious leader would want to head such a party with nationwide appeal. Unfortunately, political hygiene has been the undoing of our national politics. Will ODM polls avoid this dangerous path? It is incumbent upon the aspirants to conduct their campaigns with decorum. The party code of conduct must be enforced to the letter. BERNARD AMAYA, Nairobi FIGHTING GRAFT: The recent stern warning by President Kenyatta on corrupt ocials working in the Ofce of the President is a step in the right direction. Hopefully, this will result in eliminating the vice which has been likened to the dreaded cancer. To even hear that some individuals would have the audacity to steal from the highest oce in the country is disheartening. Let us all cooperate by acting tough and giving the relevant authorities information on corruption to steer our economy on the right track. J KINYANJUI, Kiambu TRAFFIC JAM MENACE: Trac jam in Nairobi is doing a lot of harm to the economy and its time city authorities found a lasting solution. It is quite shocking to learn that the city is still running on a trac system which was designed for the 1970s, when barely a million people lived in Nairobi. While the county government has already taken some steps to curb trac congestion, it is also vital that the city authorities upgrade the road network. There is also a need to introduce fully functional trac lights to direct motorists. Ensuring smooth trac ow will speed up economic growth. FRANCIS ODHIAMBO, Kisumu
Probe leaders arming Al-Shabaab militants

It is unfortunate that there are high level and systematic abuses in weapons management and distribution by Somali authorities. Reports that a senior Somali government minister and other ocials have been distributing arms to AlShabaab are alarming. These leaders are examples of wolves wearing sheeps skin. They can never change what they truly are despite high paying jobs they hold. Last year, Nairobis Westgate Shopping Mall was attacked and the question remains how the terrorists managed to store weapons in the building. Security agencies must take this issue seriously. MICHAEL KAGECHU, Maseno University
Ousted Embu Governor Martin Wambora before the Senate committee at the KICC in Nairobi last week.
Breaching the public nance and procurement Acts, not theft was the basis for sacking Mr Wambora. Procurement in this country has never been above board. Processes involving tendering have been the most corrupt, the latest being the standard gauge railway line tender and the primary schools laptop project. How many people have been brought to book over the breaches? Or perhaps these are special cases, the untouchables alongside Triton, Goldenberg and Anglo Leasing ? The threshold for the presidency

Kisumu residents right, but their anger is misplaced

I agree with Dr Fredrick Ogengas view (DN, February 14) that the Sikh community in Kisumu should do better than erecting a monument to commemorate its presence in the town for over a century. But this should apply equally to the Patels, Shahs, Smiths and Odingas who have all beneted economically in Kisumu. Erecting monuments for any cause is no more than a gesture that does not give anything back to the community. However, residents who nd such monuments a reminder of their economic woes are wrong. It is not Indian capitalism , which creates economic disparities. These arise due to economic models which only benet the rich. SUHASINI SHAH GUDKA, Nairobi
and governorship are at par. Allowing quarrelsome members of county assemblies who, for decades have rivalled football hooligans in throwing chairs and all manner of missiles at each other, to impeach governors is exposing devolution and county bosses to open blackmail. Governors will now have to switch to survival mode by dancing to the tune of the MCAs. They should never have been given powers to initiate the impeachment of governors. ALEXANDER CHAGEMA, Kakamega
Jubilee leaders yet to convince Kenyans of their will to fight graft

The Jubilee coalition has now been in power for slightly under one year. Although we cannot conclusively judge its performance, there are a few areas that stick out. Life has become a little harder for most Kenyans while corruption is still as rampant as ever, only more sophisticated. The corruption cartels have upped their game and the leaders seem not keen on stopping them. From the vitriol poured on Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter, one wonders what became of the pledge to ght corruption. We are tempted to believe that the Jubilee leadership is abetting corruption. When the President comes out to address a press conference anked by the full Cabinet to announce that a project who procurement has raised questions will go on as planned, only falling short of telling critics to go jump in the sea if they are unhappy with it, then you know something is not right. When the Speaker of the National Assembly follows suit and gags the lawmakers from commenting on the questionable project, then you must be very afraid. One wonders if there could be some collusion between the executive and the legislature to bulldoze there way or maybe the Head of State has some information which the public does not and the Speaker has been briefed. TITUS N PALA, Kisumu
SATURDAYS QUESTION
DEBATE QUESTION
Comment on claims that the US is plotting to topple Jubilee?

LINCOLN KINYUA: The fact that they are a superpower does not mean they should bully other countries. We have our own Constitution which we are following to letter. We Kenyans can sort out our issues. DAN TUMBO: What will the US gain from this? These are mere politics of the day trying to divert the attention of unsecure and starving Kenyans. PROTUS WEKULO JAY: Why would the US want to topple the Jubilee? USAID is an aid agency and I doubt if it has plans to disrupt peace in the region yet it advocates for the same? GITHUKU MUNGAI: I think the government is in a panic mode for no good reason. There appears to be a bit of exaggeration in the claims. The government is on the right path and it should stop worrying about the US government. CHEPKWONY HILLARY: The US has in many instances taken partisan positions on Kenyan politics, especially against Jubilee leaders.

A shortage of rice is looming due to inadequate water supply at the Mwea irrigation scheme in Kirinyaga County. Rice farmers fear that they may not plant this season as water level in rivers Nyamindi, Murubara and Thiba which supply the expansive scheme has gone down drastically following a prolonged dry spell. If the situation persists, production at the scheme will be aected.

The scheme widely known for producing the aromatic Pishori rice variety. Many the farmers have prepared paddy elds ready for planting, but water is not owing to the scheme. They are scrambling for the scarce commodity as the National Irrigation Board ocials ration what is available.

government to hasten the completion of a Sh12 billion dam at Rukenya in Gichugu sub-county to end the perennial problem. The dam, which being funded by Japan and Kenya governments, is one of the major projects being undertaken by the country. It is meant to increase water in the area to enable opening up extra rice elds at Mutithi area. The county hopes the dam would help increase rice production in the region three times.

Helicopters hitch hurts operations of police service

Ocers are failing to respond eectively to emergencies because aircraft are grounded

zangira@ke.nationmedia.com he police is failing to eectively respond to emergency situations since all its eight helicopters are grounded. The service, however, has two xedwing aircraft which can only carry nine ocers each, and also land only on locations with runways. Four Mi-17 helicopters are grounded at the Kenya Police Airwing hangar. Three of them require total overhaul while the other one has not been repaired since it was involved in an accident in Kapsabet where former assistant minister Orwa Ojode and then Commissioner of Police Hussein Ali escaped. Mr Ojode later died in another helicopter crash. Inspector-General of Police David Kimaiyo, however, said yesterday that they had advertised for a tender for the supply of one new helicopter and the overhaul of the four Mi-17 helicopters. Another helicopter, a Bell 206 L4, has a problem in the turbine, suggesting that it might have been operated by an ocer who does not have full knowledge about it, according to a senior pilot who sought anonymity.

Lobby pushes for water in primary schools

An organization promoting hygiene in primary schools has appealed to county governments to prioritize provision of water in the institutions. The water would be used by learners to wash their hands and curb diseases. Kinga Africa director Francis Muthama said many schools, lacked water thus encouraging communicable diseases to thrive. He was speaking during a hand washing drive in Kivaa, Masinga sub-county.
In case of evacuation, the victims have to be taken to the nearest airstrip. Besides, ocers cannot be taken to the exact areas of conict unless there are airstrips, he said.

It was taken there for standby duties and medical evacuation.

Youth ask Uhuru to give them IDs like other Kenyans

Youth in North Eastern Kenta have asked the government to stop discrimination in the issuance identication documents. Wajir South MP Abdullahi Diriye (left) said at the weekend that young adults from the region that borders Somalia were being denied national identity cards and passports on imsy grounds. There is a lot of proling by those issuing the IDs. They even ask the applicants to speak uent Swahili before being issued with an ID. Since when did Kiswahili become proof of citizenship? he told the Nation. He criticised that requirement, arguing that North Eastern Province has a low school enrolment rate50 per centmaking it hard for people in the region to master the national language. Young people seeking the documents, he claimed, were also being checked for BCG immunisation on their arms. In a region where the vaccination coverage is less than 50 per cent, how do you make this a ground for getting an ID? he said. The lawmaker called on President Kenyatta to abolish discriminatory requirements, saying, youth from the region were suering. Because of lacking IDs and passports, he said, the aected group had failed to secure employment and some had joined Al-Shabaab. Mr Diriye also asked the national government to address rising insecurity in the region. Wajir South is the second largest constituency in Kenya and has only one police station, he said.

Dock union issues fresh strike threat

Port workers lobby tells KPA boss to address shortage of sta and improve communication
BY DANIEL NYASSY
@dnyassy dnyassy@ke.nationmedia.com ore than 3,500 dockers have threatened to strike if a staff shortage problem is not addressed by management at Mombasa port. Dock Workers Union officials issued the notice at the weekend when they paid a courtesy call on Kenya Ports Authority Board chairman Danson Mungatana. The unions general-secretary, Mr Simon Sang, said their members were being overworked due to a shortfall of 240 workers. He also called on the port management to improve its communication to the union members and address bad blood between the two sides. The union is contemplating calling a strike soon if the management fails to address these issues immediately, he said during the meeting at the KPA boardroom. Mr Mungatana, in a bid to calm the union chiefs, pledged
Oparanya accused of bias in projects

Kakamega County assembly Majority leader has accused Governor Wyclie Oparanya of uneven distribution of development projects. Mr Titus Kwoma charged that the governor has skewed projects in favour of his Butere back yard at the expense of others. The governor had a proper agenda for the county and had prioritised them well, he said, adding: What we are not happy about is he taking majority of the projects to his back yard and we want him to rectify that.

The issues you have raised ranging from under-stang in most of the departments at the port of Mombasa to poor communication methods, among others, will be dealt with accordingly, he said. The chairman promised to look into all the issues raised because they were pertinent to boosting workers morale, adding, port business should not be interrupted over issues that can be resolved amicably. I want to assure you the workers representatives that my oce will move in swiftly to address all the grievances raised, he said, but cautioned the workers against dragging the port into politics. Mr Mungatana cautioned that mixing politics and business did not augur well for KPA, and in the event that the port fails to perform, both the employees and the countrys, economy would be at stake. The chairman advised all parties to tread carefully to avoid plunging the port into disarray. The port of Mombasa, the largest in East and Central Africa, serves several landlocked countries in the region. They include Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan.

County reps push for more Mara cash

A Bill to increase the amount of money set aside for residents living near Massai Mara game reserve has been tabled in the Narok county assembly. The Maasai Mara Community Development Bill tabled last week seeks to increase the community allocation from 19 per cent to 25 per cent of the amount the county collects from the park. Budget and Appropriation Committee Chairperson Letula Ole Masikonde said communities bordering the reserve will get 60 per cent of the total cash allocated while the others will be allocated 28 per cent. The six wards that border Maasai Mara will get a lions share of this amount because they do not farm and thus bear the brunt of human-wildlife

on how the amount will be utilised adding that ward committees have been established to hold talks on the issue. Kimintet county reps Kuyo Ole Kijabe said the move will help restore the glory of Maasai Mara as communities will be encouraged to preserve the park. Last year we set aside Sh298 million from Maasai Mara to benet locals. However, unlike in the past where individuals determined the amount these communities were allocated, the county assembly wants to anchor the amount in law, said Mr Kijabe. Mr Kijabe said the county has began sensitising the community on the need to cooperate with Kenya Wildlife Service ocers in the ght against poaching.

Devolutions kiss of life to border town

New county workers have created demand and market for critical services
BY LINET WAFULA
linetwafula@yahoo.com ublic workers and travellers in need of a place to stay or relax have created record demand for high-end hotels in Busia Town. This is a far-cry from just ve years ago when the accommodation situation was dire. Growing demand for accommodation is a pointer to the fast-changing face of the town that has seen a surge in professionals in the devolution era. As with other counties, transfer of professionals from towns such as Nairobi to rural counties has stirred Busia to life. The staff, including county executives, Assembly members, and chief ocers have created demand and market for critical services such as accommodation and entertainment. Thanks to the county government, a number of hotels have been built in the town and the need for oces has forced some investors to turn homes into business premises.
Executive to discuss drought at meeting

County Governor Nathif Jama is set to chair an executive meeting today to nd ways of helping residents hit by drought. The county executive is expected to adopt a National Drought Management Authoritys recent report and identify measures to counter the adverse eects of drought in the region. Communication director Abdikadir Sugow conrmed the meeting, but declined to give details.
The number of hotels in the region is said to have doubled since last year. Hotels and conference facilities in the region include Itoya, The Quill, Border Palace, Farm View, Floman, Roots, Western Ambience and Gronnia. A visitor to Busia will not fail to spot the booming construction works. Plots that were once idle have seen construction of both commercial and residential buildings with the hotel industry reaping benets. Mr Charles Wesonga, an investor, said that the cosmopolitan nature of the town was the reason he opted to venture in the hotel industry to tap into the booming cross-border trade. Mr Wesonga said that he was motivated by increased demand for bed spaces and conference facilities. There is a lot of cross-border activities in the region and the county receives foreign visitors. So I decided to put up a facility that will meet their expectations, he said. The Governor, Mr Sospeter O jaamong, reckons that the hotel industry could perform better if Busia and Malava towns were well planned.

Private veterinarians urged to help farmers

Self-employed veterinary ofcers have been urged to assist farmers in tackling livestock diseases. Kenya Veterinary Association chairman Georey Mutai yesterday said vaccination and disease detection could not be done by public ocers alone. Speaking in Naivasha, Dr Mutai encouraged public and self-employed veterinary ocers to join hands to raise standards of services to farmers.
He said that his administration would work hard to ensure the region was attractive for commerce and industry. To capitalise on the wide spectrum of business opportunities that our border towns and hotel industry oer, we must ensure we plan our towns well, he said. We have to make good use of the three ocial border points, which are a source of revenue to locals, the governor said.

Two tankers seized in war on fuel theft

Villagers at the weekend seized two petrol tankers as part of a crackdown on illegal siphoning of fuel. Irate residents of Kosachei Village accused the theft syndicate of endangering their lives. The move comes barely two days after two other trucks caught re as a gang siphoned fuel along the Eldoret-Malaba highway. In one of the compounds, the tanks were hidden inside decaying greenhouses and hose pipes connecting siphoning generators and the trucks. Speaking after residents stormed the compound, Uasin Gishu deputy governor Daniel Chemno asked President Kenyatta to crack the whip on administrators, whom he accused of condoning the vice. Mr Chemno said the county had informed the Interior Cabinet Secretary and the Inspector General of Police of the vice, but no action has been taken since November last year. They (fuel thieves) have benefited from the illegal trade, Mr Chemno said. Early this week, the county government constituted a team comprising the police, Kenya Revenue Authority and county ocials to investigate and arrest those involved in fuel siphoning. Illegal siphoning of fuel is rampant along the highway amid residents complaints that it poses a grave danger to their safety. Tankers ferrying oil destined for other countries in the Great Lakes are diverted to specially constructed tanks. The fuel they are carrying is o-loaded, adulterated and then pumped back to the tankers before being sold to unsuspecting dealers.
Bar owners ask Nacada to step up ght on counterfeit drinks

Bar owners in Nakuru have asked the anti-drugs agency to step up its war on counterfeit drinks. The National Authority for the Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada) had invited the business people to give recommendations on how the laws governing the sector should be harmonised. Nacada said they were liaising with the bar owners to craft new ways of enhancing implementation of the Mututho laws. Nacada chairman John Mututho said he had received a memorandum from members of the Nakuru Bar Owners Association who raised various concerns that they wanted his organisation to consider to promote full compliance with the alcohol regulations. I had a fruitful discussion with Nakuru bar owners and they have raised pertinent issues, which we, as Nacada, will consider to ensure full compliance with the law, said Mr Mututho in an interview. The business people were concerned that counterfeit drinks were nding a ready market at wines and spirits outlets, and were being sold against the regulations. I have been to various counties and the concerns raised are almost the same, bordering on counterfeits and illicit drinks, which we urge the law enforcers to act upon, the former Naivasha MP said. He dismissed allegations that he was on a revenge mission to punish bar owners for not supporting him in Naivasha to recapture his seat in the last General Election. I have no personal vendetta against bar owners in Naivasha. They should feel free to discuss with me the best way forward in implementing the Mututho laws, the Nacada chairman said. On Saturday, liquor outlets on Kanu Street in Nakuru were closed after word went round that Mr Mututhos team was conducting a random inspection of their businesses. However, Mr Mututho said Nacada was not out to close their businesses, but rather, to regulate the industry.

Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto has dismissed claims that his ght for increased funding to counties is calculated at undermining Deputy President William Ruto. The allegations were made by some MPs after Mr Rutto asked the national government to increase cash allocation to counties from the current 15 to 45 per cent of national revenue. Some leaders want to make Kenyans believe that I am ghting the deputy president. How can I ght a system that I am part of? he said at the weekend when he presided over the opening of Saoset Mixed Day Secondary School in Bomet. Mr Rutto (left) asked President Kenyatta to devolve infrastructure development in primary and secondary schools. The governor also proposed upgrading of polytechnics to enable them oer diploma courses in electrical, mechanical, civil engineering and other technical courses. Mr Rutto, who is also the chairman of the Governors Council, accused lawmakers opposed to his proposal of denying Kenyans a chance to enjoy the benets of devolution. He further accused the leaders of double-speak, saying, they only support devolution while visiting their constituencies only to craft laws to kill the same in Parliament. Mr Rutto challenged MPs to prove claims that governors have embezzled public funds.

Speaking after holding a three-hour meeting at the County Assembly, the 31 members also called on elected leaders from the region to stop pushing Ms Nditi to step down, saying such talk could cause animosity among residents. They criticised Embu Senator Lenny Kivuti and Runyenjes MP Cecily Mbarire for calling on Ms Nditi, a Mbeere, to resign to allow a person from the Embu community assume that seat.

Leaders oppose transfer of land ocials

Members of the Meru County Assembly have faulted a reported massive transfer of land ocials from Tigania East and West sub-counties. The leaders yesterday said the transfers were likely to paralyse the ongoing land adjudication in the two regions, which must be concluded before residents are issued with titles. They alleged that an MP allied to Cord was behind the transfers and accused him of plotting to derail the deeds issuance. It has come to our notice that a senior politician... has maliciously initiated the transfer of nine ocers from Tigania East/ West sub-counties, their chairman Julius Mbijiwe, who read a joint statement on behalf of the group, said. We note with great concern that these transfers have been politically motivated with a view to frustrate the eort by the Jubilee government to deliver title deeds to Meru people. Transferring all senior ocers from one area and replacing them with others, most of who came from one ethnic community, is unacceptable, he said. As a County Assembly, we are reiterating that this move will not be allowed in Meru County whatsoever, read the statement. They called on Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu to revoke the transfers with immediate eect.

Nyeri governor Nderitu Gachagua said the laboratory would help police conduct investigations. Speaking during a ceremony to flag off eight landrovers worth Sh50 million donated by the county government, Mr Gachagua said the conviction rate in the country is low due to lack of a laboratory. Due to lack of facilities to collect evidence, criminals arrested by police are later released, said Mr Gachagua. He said the Nyeri government is willing to support the forensic department and called on governors to come together and utilise the equipment. Mr Gachagua said that apart from the eight Landrovers donated by the county government, the national government gave ve more landcruisers. He decried the rising crime rate saying gangs have been terrorising residents both at urban and the rural areas. In rural areas, cases of coee theft, poaching and frequent attacks on members of investment groups are on the rise.

Collecting the dead in Bor no easy task

At one church, 20 people were killed, among them female priests and three others raped
BY HANNAH MCNEISH BOR,
South Sudan, Sunday eneath skies lled with vultures circling the ghost town of Bor in South Sudans Jonglei state, diggers are clearing more space for the bodies slowly lling the ground. Some have lain where they fell since December, when ghting broke out in the capital Juba, some 200 kilometres to the south. A stand-o between the countrys leader Salva Kiir and his former deputy Riek Machar quickly spread to Bor, where old ethnic, political and historical tensions were revived and countless people were killed. Now, limbs are melting under the sweltering sun, exposing bones that dry and twist like rewood. But one man is determined to count, despite the pervasive stench and mammoth task of clearing up what local and UN ocials estimate are a few thousand bodies. I was sick for three days, but I couldnt stop. I couldnt leave the bodies, said Michael Mayen, a human rights lawyer turned self-appointed body collector whose tears and constant coughing have hardened into a resolve to bury as many people as he can. We have to honour our people. We have to bury them. Kitted only with one white cotton glove and rubber boots, Mayen has been dragging the dead o the streets of Bor, away from the jaws of feasting dogs and circles of sharp beaks. We started collecting the bodies on January 27 and now we collected to this moment 2,007 bodies, he said, standing at a site where 134 people have just been buried.

Ugandan president to sign anti-gay Bill
Thousands killed in the conict

High toll: More than 10,000 people have been killed and several others displaced from their homes since a coup bid on December 15 in South Sudan. Ex-VPs role: Dr Riek Machar, the coup leader, formed a rebellion in a power wrangle that took a deadly tribal dimension, pitting Machars Nuer against the Dinka - from which President Salva Kiir hails. Heavy burden: The UN is currently protecting approximately 75,000 civilians in eight protection sites located on its compounds across the volatile country, including over 43,000 in Juba; 21,000 in Malakal; 6,000 in Bor and close to 3,000 in Bentiu. Truce deal: Both sides have signed a ceasere mediated by the regional body IGAD in December, but have frequently accused each other of violating the deal.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has said he would sign the anti-gay bill into law following a scientic explanation from experts that the practice is not biological. In a State House statement issued on Saturday, Mr Museveni said all those promoting homosexuality should be harshly deal with according to the law. In my role as a strategist and a responsible leader for our country, there is no debate regarding the promotion of homosexuality. That one I totally agree with everybody that anybody who is promoting homosexuality we must stop him ... this must be stopped by law and harshly, he said while addressing the ruling National Resistance Movement retreat.

Human Rights Watch has been calling on the UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan and the African Union to investigate massacres across the country and release reports on abuses now, before the evidence and the accountability needed to the end violence are buried. The slowness from both institutions sends the wrong signal that, even as the violence continues, yet again perpetrators in South Sudan may have their crimes ignored, said Skye Wheeler, HRWs South Sudan researcher. Evidence is disappearing as neighbours bury their dead in unmarked graves and bullet casings are swept away. This evidence needs to be documented now, for example the dead in Bor need to be photographed and the information properly catalogued to help reconstruct events, she added. The UNs recent announcement that cluster bomb remnants have been found near Bor is unlikely to speed boots back to the ground, especially to areas others have not trodden.

Zambian police shoot dead three robbers

Three gunmen who robbed a Chinese-owned enterprise were shot dead by Zambian police, the Chinese Embassy here and local police conrmed on Saturday.

Mayor oers pay for arrest of Al-Shabaab militants

BY ABDULKADIR KHALIF
NATION Correspondent MOGADISHU, Sunday The Mayor of Mogadishu, Mr Mohamed Ahmed Nur alias Tarzan has promised to pay a $20,000 reward to any person that brings information leading to the capture of militants loyal to Al-Shabaab. The mayor made the statement on Saturday while addressing participants at a function at Wadajir District in the city.

Morsys spying allegations trial gets underway

If found guilty, the former president and 130 defendants face death penalty
CAIRO, Sunday
$20,000
Amount informers to get
he trial of deposed Egyptian President Mohammed Morsy over espionage and conspiring to commit acts of terror along with the former parliamentary speaker has begun. Mr Morsy was brought to Cairos police academy on Sunday morning by helicopter from the Burj al-Arab prison in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, where he is being held. Mr Morsy was ousted by the military last July following mass street protests against his rule. Along with 130 others, including dozens of members of Hamas and Lebanons Shiite militant movement Hezbollah, Mr Morsy is separately being tried on charges linked to a jailbreak during the 2011 uprising that toppled strongman Hosni Mubarak. Other suspects accused alongside with Morsy include Muslim Brotherhood supreme guide Mohamed Badei and his two deputies Khairat al-Shater and Mahmoud Ezzat, former parliament speaker Saad alKatatni and others. They are accused of collaborating with foreign bodies, spying for the international organisation the Muslim Brotherhood, its military wing and the (Palestinian) Hamas movement to carry out terrorist acts in Egypt. The former Islamist president also faces other lawsuits over charges of jailbreak, inciting violence and murder against protesters outside the presidential palace in
early December 2012. He will also face trial over insulting the judiciary, but the date hasnt been set yet. The hearing is being held at the Police Academy complex in eastern Cairo, where a heavy security presence stands guard. If found guilty, the defendants could face the death penalty. During Morsys short-lived presidency, ties between Cairo and Hamas, a Palestinian aliate of the Muslim Brotherhood which rules the neighbouring Gaza strip, had ourished. But since July, Egypts military-installed government has accused Hamas of backing Morsy and his Brotherhood and carrying out terrorists attacks inside Egypt. The army has destroyed several hundred tunnels used to ferry crucial supplies, including fuel, into the blockaded Gaza Strip. (Xinhua) POWER

Children under 18 have right to die in Belgium

The issue of euthanasia and assisted suicide is emotive
elgian legislators, with an apparent support of most constituents, last week pushed to the limit the personal right to live or die. Caveats remain, though. On Thursday, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly86-44, with 12 abstentionsto extend the countrys euthanasia law to children under 18. That wasnt new. In neighbouring Netherlands its legal for 12-year-olds to request euthanasia, again with caveats. The law extends the right, already granted to anyone over 18 with terminal illness, the right, under certain conditions, to ask their doctors to be put to death. Thats if parents agree and a psychiatrist or psychologist certifies they understand what it amounts. For some reason, children under 12 arent allowed to plead psychological suering. Thats allowed to over 18. Recently, twin brothers opted for it. They were deaf and learned they would be blind. Living like that was too unbearable.

The age at which euthanasia is allowed in the Netherlands
Euthanasia is painless killing of a patient suering from an incurable disease or in an irreversible coma. Media reports are that as the legislators voted and it became obvious the bill would pass, a lone protester shouted, assassins. That the bill would pass was obvious. First, opinion polls had indicated the most electorate, most important to politicians, supported the idea. Last November, a Senate committee approved the bill 13-4. Fifty of the 71 colleagues quickly agreed. Opponents of a law that would, on the face of it, allow, lets say, 0-Age person to request death were enraged.
Detailed Tender documents may be obtained from NEMA Stores at NEMA Headquarters situated along PopoRoad, Off Mombasa Road. Interested tenderers are required to pay a non-refundable fee of Ksh.1, 000each of the categories, in Bankers Cheque or deposit the cash in the NEMA Revenue Account, KCB KICC Branch, Account Number 1102298158, and submit the deposit slip, at the cash ofce on Ground Floor.

Box 67839 00200 NAIROBI And placed in the Tender Box provided at the NEMA Reception area, Eland House, Popo Road, Off Mombasa Road so as to be received on or before 3rd March, 2014 at 11.00 a.m. Documents submitted after this time will not be accepted. Tender documents will be opened immediately thereafter in the Board Room, Eland House, 1st Floor. Tenderers or their representatives who choose to attend are welcomed. NEMA reserves the right to accept or reject any tender without giving any reasons thereof
Philippe Mahoux, a Socialist Party senator who sponsored the bill, said living terminally ill the right to die in dignity is the ultimate gesture of humanity. The usual suspect opponents of matters disturbing the natural order were at the forefront. Christian, Muslim and Jewish community leaders issued a statement: We mark our opposition to this extension and express trepidation in the face of the risk of a growing trivialization of such a grave reality. Thats the case of God, Allah, et cetera, gives and takes. The religious leaders werent alone. Sixteen paediatricians wrote an open letter to two national newspapers opposing the bill. The main argument, according to opponents of the bill, was that available medical careand expansion of itmakes euthanasia unnecessary. In any case, what does 10-year-old, let alone a one-year-old, know about his or her mortality. However, Gerland van Berlaer, of Brussels Free University, pointed out what amounts to hypocrisy among the opponents of the bill. Doctors do terminate lives of children as well as adults, CNN quoted him saying in November. But today its done in a gray zone or in the dark because its illegal. And this means that theres a lot of room to do things the wrong way. The issue of euthanasia and assisted suicide is emotive. Euthanasia is only legal in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Assisted suicide is in the US states of Washington, Oregon, and Montana. The issue, however, remains: Who is in charge of deciding whether a person should choose to live or not? Anyway, theres no need to panic over the Belgian law. Since the Netherlands extended right to euthanasia to 12-year-old in 2002, only ve 12 to 18 have taken the oer. (cmbitiru@hotmail.com)

Plane carrying 18 missing in Nepal

KATHMANDU, Thursday
Rescuers in Nepal scrambled today to nd a Nepal Airlines plane carrying 18 people that went missing in the countrys mountainous west, ocials said. The plane with 15 passengers and three crew on board lost contact with air traffic controllers shortly after taking off from the popular tourist town of Pokhara, airline officials and police said.

The rest of those on board are from Nepal. Heavy rain was hampering eorts to search for the plane, with two helicopters forced to turn back because of bad weather, Bimlesh Lal Karna, chief air trac controller at the countrys largest airport in Kathmandu, said. The weather was not bad at the time the plane went missing... It worsened later on, Karna told AFP.

NEW MOVE | A surprise decision
Germany to beef up spy defences against allies

BERLIN, Sunday
Germany plans to beef up its counterintelligence tactics against allied countries in response to revelations of widespread US spying, Der Spiegel magazine reported today. The weekly said the German government was considering deploying its own agents to keep tabs on Western secret services and embassies on German soil including those of the United States and also Britain. It said the domestic intelligence service aimed to glean precise information about foreign spies using diplomatic cover and technical equipment at diplomatic missions used to snoop on German officials and the countrys citizens. This step would be an about-face from the decadeslong practice of systematically monitoring the activities of countries such as China, Russia and North Korea but rarely the activities of Western partners, Spiegel said. It said the plans would require the final approval of Merkels office as well as the foreign and interior ministries. The reported initiatives follow leaks by former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden that US intelligence agencies had eavesdropped on Chancellor Angela Merkels mobile phone and collected vast amounts of online data and telephone records from average citizens. Media reports last year said that the equipment installed on roofs of the US and British embassies in Berlin was used for snooping. Spiegel also reports in its upcoming issue on a suspected attack by Chinese spies on the German government ahead of the G20 summit in Saint Petersburg, Russia last September. (AFP)

Powerful Iraqi cleric al-Sadr quits politics

His political career began with erce opposition to US troops in country
NAJAF, Iraq, Sunday
owerful Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, leader of a major political movement and a key gure in post-Saddam Iraq, has announced his exit from politics two months before elections. The decision, if conrmed as permanent, brings to a close a political career that began with his erce opposition to the US military presence in Iraq, and has spanned more than a decade. I announce my non-intervention in all political aairs and that there is no bloc that represents us from now on, nor any position inside or outside the government nor parliament, Sadr said in a written statement received by AFP on Sunday. Ahead of legislative elections in April, Sadrs movement currently holds six cabinet posts as well as 40 seats in the 325member parliament. He also said his movements political oces will be closed, but that others related to social welfare, media and education will remain open. It was not immediately clear if the move was temporary or permanent, with Sadrist ofcials saying they had been taken by surprise and could not clarify. One official from Sadrs oce told AFP that no one wanted to discuss the issue because it was a surprise decision.
I do not think it will be reversed... because it is a very strong decision, the ocial added. Sadr said the decision to leave politics was taken from the standpoint of Islamic law and of preserving the honourable reputation of Sadr, especially of the two Sadr martyrs, referring to his father and another relative who were killed during Saddam Husseins rule. The move also aims to end all the corruptions that occurred or which are likely to occur that would harm the Sadr reputation, he said. Sadrs political career began with his erce opposition to the presence of foreign troops in Iraq after the 2003 US-led invasion of the country that toppled Saddam. His rise was aided by the famed reputation of his father Mohammed Mohammed Sadiq, who was killed along with two of Moqtadas brothers in 1999 by gunmen allegedly sent by Saddam, and another relative, Mohammed Baqir, who was executed in 1980. Moqtadas movement subsequently gained both seats in parliament and cabinet posts, and played the role of political kingmaker. (AFP)

We are pleased to bring on board Nepad and look forward to a long and fullling partnership. I encourage more organisations locally to emulate Nepad and embrace the culture of retirement savings, a critical step to realising social security in this country,
growing number of Kenyans are switching to high end premium alcoholic beverages as the number of middle income earners and super rich rises. Statistics released by East African Breweries Limited, the largest distributor of whisky and spirits in the country, show that high end premium drinks whose prices range between Sh50,000 and Sh100,000 a bottle grew by 50 per cent over the six months to December 2013. A single tot costs between Sh8,500 and Sh10,000 depending on the ambience in which it is served. We are delighted to note that our most expensive spirits have grown by over 50 per cent, EABLs group managing director, Mr Charles Ireland, said during an investors brieng last week. According to Euromonitor International, a London-based market intelligence rm, the wealthiest class in African countries is set to grow signicantly with Kenyas social class A the rich or high income class category projected to rise 28 per cent by 2020. This is one of the highest forecasts in the world. In China, the social class A is set to grow 4 per cent in the same period.

signed to display their value, premium whiskies are one of the many ways in which increasingly auent Kenyan consumers are displaying their new found condence and wealth, Mr Hector said in earlier interview. Marketers in Kenya have turned this model on its head, positioning it as a modern, aspirational beverage linked to success. EABL notes that Kenya is now among the fastest-growing markets in the world with ocial imports of Scotch whisky rising by nearly three quarters (73 per cent) between 2010 and 2011.
While announcing the companys nancial performance for the half year period ending December 2013, Mr Ireland said they will focus more on expanding the premium segment of its beverages following the good results. Performance in the premium beer and spirits category outshone that of the low cost beer, where the Senator Keg brand was the hardest hit by enforcement of a 50 per cent excise duty on October 1, 2013. We expect consumer behaviour to go premium as more and more people become wealthy, said Mr Ireland.

He said the discharge testing brought good news for the company in terms of reducing the drilling cost with previous wells sunk at Ol Karia domes averaging 5MW.

Branson warns over help for Qantas airline
SYDNEY, Sunday British tycoon Richard Branson sounded a warning in full-page newspaper ads today about possible Australian government help for national carrier Qantas, urging businesses to think twice about investing in the country. Branson, whose Virgin Australia carrier is in direct competition with Qantas, lashed out at the conservative government in an open letter to the Australian public published in todays newspapers. Qantas has been lobbying the government to ease limits on foreign investment or provide state intervention to help shore up its bottom line as it battles record fuel costs and erce competition from subsidised rivals. The Australian carrier claims a 49 per cent foreign ownership cap under the terms of its privatisation in 1995 leaves it at an unfair disadvantage to Virgin. (AFP)

Losses and damages at South Africas giant platinum mine Amplats blamed on the workers organisation
JOHANNESBURG, Sunday outh African mining giant Anglo American (Amplats) yesterday said it was suing a trade union for damages and losses suered over the past three-week work stoppage.

The provisional damages claim comes to about 591-million rand, although as AMCUs wrongful conduct is continuing, the damages will continue to accrue, she said of the case that was led with the High
Court in Pretoria on Friday. The unions secretary-general Je Mpahlele said he was unaware of any litigation against the union. Tens of thousands of platinum mining workers have downed tools since January 23 at Amplats, Impala Platinum (Implats) and Lonmin the worlds top three producers of the mineral. (AFP)

ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20 Today you cant aord to be over-condent about your own ability or judgement. If you are self-employed, or on a bonus scheme, dont miss out on an opportunity to make some extra money. It will be up to you to take full advantage of a luck break. This evening, focus on being sociable and enjoying yourself. TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20 Even if you dont have much to show for it in terms of solid results.The irons you put in the re are red hot and some of ideas are positively inspired- even if you havent quite realized it yet. Dont be too impatient because everything will work out well. GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21 Misunderstandings of any kind can be cleared up quickly today; your ability to speak the unvarnished truth will stand you in good stead. Loved ones always value your opinion or advice more than you realize; if only because they know you always say what you think CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22 What you do today dont play second ddle to a bossy lover or colleague.

Kiplagat breaks Half Marathon World record

Reigning Berlin road champion lowers Keitanys mark by 38 secs in Barcelona
BY AYUMBA AYODI AND IAAF
sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com enyas Florence Kiplagat yesterday lowered the World Half marathon record by 38 seconds in Barcelona yesterday. Kiplagat stopped the clock in 1hr, 05.12min in a gun-to-tape performance to beat the previous record of 1:05:50 set by her compatriot Mary Keitany at the 2011 RAK Half Marathon. The 26-year-old 2010 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships gold medallist actually nished fourth overall, beaten only by a trio of male runners, including former World 5,000m champion Eliud Kipchoge, who retained the mens title in 1:00:52. She passed 10km in 31.08, more than a minute faster than her ocial personal best for the distance in a 10km race, but 23 seconds o Keitanys pace three years ago. Kiplagat then pushed hard over the next ve kilometres to bring the world record within her grasp. She passed 15km in 46:35, ve seconds faster than Keitany and just seven seconds outside Tirunesh Dibabas world record for the distance, which was

Stop the blame game, rebuild Kenyan cricket

hen it comes to staying the course, so to write, Kenyas sports officials take all the honours since they rarely go against the script of the fans who know exactly how they will react after a national sides poor performance. They are so predictable and it seems they have templates and only change names of their own ocials and other people to blame, then tell the media that the team needs support and time even after it has failed to qualify for the ultimate competition. And it has come to pass that Cricket Kenya ocials have started playing the blame game instead of engaging stakeholders, evaluating what went wrong and looking for solutions or trying to salvage the little that is left of Kenyan cricket and their reputation after Kenyas failure to qualify for the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Last week, Cricket Kenya chair, Jackie Janmohammed, the player/coach Steve Tikolo and former player Kennedy Obuya who is supposedly no longer in the selection panel even though some ocials believe he still is, were defending themselves and apportioning blame on a local television station. It was embarrassing to listen to three people who understand the local game defend themselves and play the blame game in a manner that would make children who play cricket with plastic bats and soft balls look like professionals. It was the most unfortunate thing to happen to local cricket whose decline has been a decade in the making and culminated in Kenya getting bundled out four major global cricket events in a period of one year.

World Half Marathon record set by Kiplagat in Barcelona yesterday
set in a 15km race. At 16km, Kiplagats rst pacemaker Marc Roig dropped out, and a couple of kilometres later, her other aide Stanley Siroro stepped aside. She passed 20km in 1:01:56, which is also a world record and 40 seconds faster than the previous mark, which also belonged to Keitany having been set during her world record half marathon run. Kiplagats half marathon world record was also more than a minute faster than she had ever run before over the distance, her previous best of 1:06:38 coming in the 2012 Rome-Ostia race. She won the 2013 Berlin Marathon in 2:21:13 and has built on that base during the winter in order to launch her assault on the record, helped on the day by almost perfect conditions, with almost no wind and a temperature hovering around 13 degrees Celsius. This is a not a day I will forget, Im so happy! The circuit was very fast and I thank my pace makers Roig and Siroro, they did a great job. I felt so well from the beginning and the weather was perfect, so I had the feeling that this could be a special day, said Kiplagat. I really didnt expect a time as fast as this. All I wanted to do was have a good race at a high rhythm in preparation for the London Marathon (in April), she added. The next woman was more than seven minutes in arrears, with Great Britains Nicola Duncan taking second place in 1:12:15. Kipchoge successfully defended the title he won in Barcelona 12 months ago. Laban Mutai was second in 1:01:19 and Peter Emase third in 1:02:47. Kipchoge nishing just adrift of his personal best and course record time of 1:00:04 set at the same race in 2013.

Mwamba end Nakurus great run in thrilling Kenya Cup clash

BY AYUMBA AYODI
@ayumbayodi sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com Shabaan Ahmed was the toast of Mwamba as the scrum-half inspired the hosts to a 30-20 victory over champions Nakuru in a Kenya Cup match at the University of Nairobi grounds on Saturday. Mwambas victory ended Nakurus unbeaten run in the league this season, but a bonus point the champions got after scoring four tries was a major factor as they retained the top slot on 54 points. Kenya Harlequin stayed second after crushing visiting Blad Blad of Kenyatta University 54-5 at the RFUEA grounds. Quins are tied with Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) on 48 points each. The bankers got a walkover against Eldoret who failed to show up for their encounter. Strathmore University Leos also upheld their fourth place after they also got a walkover against Mombasa. The Leos have 47 points. Homeboyz
RESULTS
Mwamba 30-20 Nakuru; Impala 30-16 Western Bulls; Homeboyz 31-5 Machine; Quins 54-5 Blakblad; Strathmore 24, Mombasa 0; KCB 24-0 Eldoret; Nondies 24-0 Kisumu 0.
remained fth after improving their tally to 41 points after their bonus point victory over Mean Machine as inspired Impala humbled Western Bulls 30-16 at Impala Sports Club. Western Bulls stayed sixth with 33 points as Impala caught up with Mwamba in seventh place to all tie on 27 points each. Scrum half Shabaan Ahmeds hat trick of tries was enough for Mwamba to beat Nakuru. Mwamba managed three converted tries.
Kenya managed an average of 250 runs in their seven ties at last months World Cup qualiers in New Zealand which are not bad scores and Cricket Kenya and former players and ocials should study what other shortcomings there were and come up with strategies instead of engaging in childlike arguments, in poor grammar, in the public domain. They have the ball and the bat in their hands and they will have to sit down and talk, soon, and nd ways of rescuing the local game, otherwise it will not be long before they take their lachrymose voices to courts of law and deep-six the game for good. Dont you just miss Maurice Odumbe?

FIVB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS CAMPAIGN | Lungahos charges destroy poor opponents
Kenyan girls too good for Uganda

Hosts make mincemeat of their neighbours in opening tie of African qualiers at Kasarani
BY AYUMBA AYODI AND CELLESTINE OLILO
sportsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com enyas campaign for their sixth consecutive womens FIVB World Championships berth started with a straight sets thrashing of Uganda in their opening match of the African qualiers in Nairobi yesterday. David Lung ahos charges ran through the Ugandans with ease to win 25-16, 25-10, 25-14. The hosts face Mozambique today at 4pm at the Safaricom Arena, Kasarani. Good recovery by Mery Moim and Evelyn Makuto on left attack and all-round excellent shows from Ruth Jepngetich and Esther Wangechi on the right spurred Kenya to victory. Kenyas main rivals Tunisia and Senegal also launched their campaign well, claiming wins against Mozambique and Seychelles respectively. Lungaho said hed expected a lot from Uganda having trained in The Netherlands. My side has improved in ball control, which we have been working in the past one month, said Lungaho. We should expect another good display against Mozambique. Skipper Brackcides Agala however said they will need to improve on their attacks and blocking. Uganda coach Tonny Lakony conceded defeat saying Kenyans were quick on attack. But Im happy that my team has improved, he said. Kenya took a swift 6-2 lead in the rst set before their left attack and defense proved porous for the Ugandans to plough back and even play at 8-8. However, Agala and Wangechi would stabilise things with good attack at the centre and right, amidst good setting from Jane Wacu as Kenya cruised at 13-10. Makuto would put the scores at 14-10 with Moim claiming vital points with her thunderbolt spikes to bring the score to 21-13. Good blocking from Jepngetich pushed the score at 24-15 before Moim nished o the set. An all-round attack from Wangechi, Makuto and Jepngetich put Kenya ahead 7-2 but some poor reception and cover at backcourt gave the Ugandans some breathing space. Emilly Laker and Josephine Nammanda got some points but they still trailed 4-8 before Moim did the damage coupled with good central defence of Jepngetich and Agala. Kenya led at 10-5, 20-8, 21-9 as Jepngetich wrapped up at the centre with good dummies and blocks. Lack of communication and poor attack on the Kenyan side in the last set enabled the Ugandans, who blocked well to level at 3-3 and 8-8 before Mom and Wangechi changed the tide to lead at 21-9. Some substitutions that saw Wacu, Makuto, Jepngetich and Wangechi exit somehow distabilised the team as Kenya wobbled in defense to nevertheless win 25-14. Meanwhile, Tunisia eased past Mozambique in 3-0 straight sets of 25-11, 25-12 and 25-13. On the other hand, Senegal were forced back to the drawing board after Seychelles level led at 1-1 sets. However, the Senegalese would romp to a 3-1 sets of 25-23, 22-25, 25-18 and 25-22 victory. Senegal led the rst set 16-11 before Seychelles drew level at 19-19, 20-20, 21-21 and 22-22 with good blocking.

Kisumu Simba roar past opponents

BY AYUMBA AYODI
@AyumbaAyodi sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com Former champions Kisumu Simba had a successful tour of Nairobi, tearing apart Parkroad and Wazalendo to pile pressure on leaders Kenya Police in the Kenya Hockey Union mens league at City Park Stadium. Kisumu, who last won the league in 2008, were suave in their executions, beating Parkroad 3-1 before braving a rst-half assault to down Wazalendo 3-1 to bag maximum six points. The feat brought Kisumus tally to 22 points, two o champions Police who are unbeaten with 24 points drawn from eight victories. Kisumu beneted from an own goal against Parkroad in the 13th minute, then Hannington Opede scored breathtaking eld goal in the 29th minute to put the visitors 2-0 ahead at the breather. Vincent Odhiambo made it 3-0 for Kisumu in the 38th minute before the hosts pulled one back three minutes from time.

Against Wazalendo, Kisumu went on the oensive, with Dennis Owoka scoring a eld goal in the eighth minute before the teams settled down for an end-to-end battle. Wazalendo drew level on the stroke of half-time through skipper Wycliffe Mbedas penalty corner. The visitors impressed, with Kenyan international and Kisumu Simba skipper Frank Wanangwe and Bramwel Lijodi sounding the boards in the 54th and 56th minutes to seal victory. The weekend matches were preceded by a moment of silence in honour of fallen Kenya international Betty Chebet Tioni who passed away
on Thursday in Nakuru. The pressure is on for the title. We have impressed in our previous matches, and we will push for the title to the last minute, said Kisumus Kamal Sembi. Kisumu are yet to play Kenya College of Accountancy University, Kenya Police and Greensharks to wrap up the season. Africa Clubs Cup silver medallists Strathmore University tamed Vikings 2-0 in the womens league but the students still remained fourth with 15 points. Strathmore, who have now played seven matches, have a two-match advantage over leaders Telkom Orange (24), USIU-A (21) and Sliders (18). In mens national league, Parklands beat Kimathi University 3-1 to tie with Kenyatta University in second place with 21 points each. Wazalendo lead the standings with 23 points.

AFRICAN CLUB FOOTBALL | Wanga on the double to put Ingwe through to the next round
Gor dump US Bitam in Gabon as Leopards devour Defence in Addis

Battling KOgalo have inspirational keeper Onyango to thank after he stepped up to save four penalties
BY DAVID KWALIMWA
@kwalimwadavid dkwalimwa@ke.nationmedia.com or Mahia and AFC Leopards yesterday sailed through to the next round of their respective continental assignments in contrasting fashion. Leopards emphatically bea Ethiopian club Defence 4-1 on aggregate following their 2-1 win in the return leg of their Confederation Cup preliminary round at the Ato Emmanuel Stadium in Addis Ababa. Kenya international Allan Wanga, who missed the rst leg with injury, loudly announced his return by notching both goals in the second half to reply to, with interest, Micheal Desseta rst half goal for the hosts. In Gabon, brave Gor, against huge odds, beat US Bitam 4-2 on postmatch penalties to qualify for the rst round of the Champions League after the home team had won 1-0 to tie the round 1-1 in regulation time. Rama Salim, Harrison Sakava, Georey Walusimbi and Innocent Mutiso put their penalties in for Gor. But Jerim Onyango was the hero of Battling KOgalo, saving four penalites, two in the decisive post-match spot-kicks and two in regulation time. The host team had taken the lead in the second half through Henry Joel Eyame but just couldnt nd a way past custodian Onyango for the important second goal. Gor defender David Owino was sent drafting in Musa Mudde to anchor the mideld alongside Martin Imbalambala, with Augustine Etemesi also squeezing into a ve-man centre pack, that also had Peter Opiyo and Jacob Keli. Wanga remained the lone striker upfront. This tactic denied the hosts the much needed space but after relentless pressure they managed to go ahead seven minutes to the break through an expertly taken free kick from Desseta that gave Leopards custodian Wyclie Kasaya no chance. Wanga then took over by turning the game round with strikes in the 46th and 89th minute to silence the partisan home crowd and send the handful of travelling Leopards supporters into celebration. Richard Ekhalie: We knew we are going to advance after the rst leg result. I must thank the technical bench who recruited very well, you can see we won without Wanga in the rst leg and Were for the return match. We are now gunning for this tie against SuperSport FC. Leopards will face Supersport on February 28. The Matsatsantsa , as the South African club are fondly referred to down south, booked the Leopards date by securing a 1-0 score away to Botswana club Gaborone United, in their second leg clash played at the National Stadium in the countrys capital, Gaborone, and a 3-0 aggregate score. In the rest of Africa, Nigerian side Kano Pillars made an unexpectedly early exit from the Caf Champions League this weekend despite a 2-1 win over Democratic Republic of Congo visitors Vita. The Kinshasa club, who won the competition 41 years ago, advanced 4-3 on aggregate.

Kiraithe wins overall prize at Royal Club
BY LARRY NGALA
@LarryNgala lngala@ke.nationmedia.com Royal Nairobi vice captain Bernard Kiraithe beat two other players on countback at the par-72 Royal Nairobi Golf Club course at the weekend to clinch the overall prize in the Mandharini Kili golf tournament. Playing in the powerful team of former captain Jack Okuku, Ben Handa and Wycliffe Onyango, Kiraithe, then playing o handicap 10, made a slow start, scratching the rst hole and the third, then registered a late bogey at the ninth. Five pars and a birdie at the sixth hole, however, saw him turn to the back nine with 19 points. I played with a strong team and I think that is what encouraged me to play well. I am happy with my victory at this event said Kiraithe. He birdied the 14th hole at the back nine where he also bogeyed the 15th, 17th and double-bogeyed the 18th for a back nine score of 20 points and a winning total of 39 points. Joel Karubiu had earlier carded 21 and 18 to also nish on 39 while C.D. Shah had a strong front nine of 23 points, although his weak 16 at the back nine pushed him to third. He was not present during the prize-giving ceremony and the prize went to Jack Okuku (above) on 38 points. Susan Kasinga led the guests with a ne score of 39 points made up of 22 and 17. The mens longest drive contest winner was Quram Bhatti while Zinat Miwa took the ladies prize, with Gilbert Maina going home with the nearest to pin prize. It was also a good outing for Mumias Sugar Company managing director, Peter Kebati did not feature in the main prize list but had the honour of receiving a bottle of Johnnie Walkers Scotch Whisky from Royal captain Karim Pisani. He holed in one at the par three13th using a very lofted club 52 . He donated Sh20,000 to the Junior Golf Foundation. Speaking during the prize giving ceremony, Angus Jackson, the sales and marketing manager of Hello Properties, developers of the award-winning Mandharini Kili, thanked Royal members for their tremendous support. Away in Nyanza, George Odongo won the captains prize with an impressive 41 points made up of 21 and 20, beating Prashant Thakrar by four points. Thakrar who posted 17 and 20 beat David Sate (19, 18), and John Agui (20, 17) on countback. The two nine winners were Charles Aburi (19) and Racky Bhamra on 21. Rael Kurgat on 32 points was the lady winner beating Elizabeth Akinyi by two points. The captains winner was Jasminder Sokhi on 34 points.

Gor will bury hooliganism and rise to be great forever
or some time now the name Gor Mahia has been made synonymous with hooliganism and unnecessary violence that occurs whenever the team loses a match or when the fans feel aggrieved by poor ociating. Pictures abound of irate fans running riot and destroying stadium property; others eeing in a cloud of teargas hurled by the few police ocers who are taxed with ensuring security. Of course the causes of violence have been identied but nobody has taken responsibility of tackling them. Last season, Gor fans organised a cleanup of a market trying to placate the
hawkers who now considered anyone in KOgalo jersey to be a looter. It was a commendable move and it helped defuse the growing tension between them; but it just lasted a short while before some brainless chaps started to bother the traders again. Many have given up on this issue but it seems there are some big hearts within the KOgalo family who still believe the ruans can be contained. Last Saturday, a meeting was held in Nairobi and attended by many Gor fans. The main aim was to discuss meaningful ways to stem the acts of hooliganism that taints the name of the team and costs them nancially too. The organisers of the Forum led by
George Haggai and team calling themselves the Russia crew agreed that it is not easy to eradicate hooliganism at once but it is a process that will need a lot of dedication to see through. Weeding out of hooligans from the Russia terraces was also discussed as well as coordination between the Police and good fans in identifying the neer-do-wells in Gor uniforms. Representatives came from many Gor fans branches including the Quail Farmers branch, Sikandol Branch and other like. It was a very fruitful discussion and the route to take over the issue was well laid. The fear is that we are sure the hooligans did not attend and do not
even know there is such a forum! To them it may be an exercise in futility but when they will be detected and categorised is when they will realise it is no longer business as usual. Ill leave the last word to a Gor fan, Vitalis Ogola, who was optimistic after the meeting: Gor will be super great, I can see everyone is taking cue and doing something from tackling hooliganism, patents, branches, peaceful elections et al. We should encourage everyone and keep the faith. We will be great for a very long time, the stadia, welfare, academies, attracting the best will surely be basic to this team very soon.

Bungling start as KPL bans venues

PLs Stadia and Safety Committee recently slapped a temporary ban on the three venues from hosting league matches during the 2014 league season because they failed to meet minimum safety standards required to host such xtures. That was the news we got last week as terse as they come from that board of jovial people. From the time, the league ended last season that board chaired by the great Laban Jobita and his fellow committee members GMT Otieno, Robert Nyakundi, John Baraza and Lillian Nzile racked their collective brains till a monstrous sigh engulfed the dark room in which they were labouring in thought. They cracked the puzzle and smoke arose from their sheer concentration to the development of our league. I must report too that there was a smell of burning rubber which accompanied the smoke. It was a great meditation dear Kenyans and it took this strong team two months of profound brainwork that we must all clap very hard for them. They started to act in January since most of the time had been used up in contemplation and introspection. When they regained their energy they took a tour of all sports facilities in the country. At a leisurely pace, they measured goalposts here and there; they ran around many pitches and used spirit levels to see if these same pitches were flat enough; the great lady amongst them took samples of the grass on these pitches to see if they were of the right quality; the chairman eyeballed the small time stadium managers and lled them with fright at the deep questions he posed; they sank their noses into pit latrines and measured the size and strength of toilet seats (by actually using them); they made rigorous tests on changing rooms and checked if
or the better part of December and January, the most popular pages in the English press were the ones lled with transfer news, nay rumours. If it wasnt about an unsettled Toni Kroos ditching German giants Bayern Munich for Old Traord, it was about the highly rated Schalke 04 attacking midelder Julian Draxler trooping to the Emirates. Day in, day out, we would be bombarded with breaking news of how Italian giants Juventus were about to lose their mideld trio of Paul Pogba, Claudio Marchisso and Arturo Vidal to Man United or how Atletico Madrid hitman Diego Costa was nalizing a move to Stamford Bridge. At the end of the day, all these rumours remained just that; rumours. It turned out that the likes of Vidal, Pogba and Draxler either had running contracts or were in the process of extending their terms with their respective clubs! Apparently, not so well endowed soccer clubs across Europe have woken up to the realization that the only way to deter the EPL moneybags from poaching their best at will is to tie them down with long term contracts with costly release clauses.

The year speedy winger Paul Were joined AFC Leopards from Tusker
The ongoing controversy regarding Paul Weres impending move to South African side Bidvest Wits got me thinking about the vulnerability of our clubs in the face of potentially lucrative international transfers. How the AFC Leopards management has failed to regularize Weres move from his parent side, FISA Academy since mid-2012 baffles me. I understand that Were remains a FISA Academy property but on loan to Leopards who pay his salary and allowances. FISA still retains all the rights to the lad, and therein lies the catch. It then follows that Ingwe is staring at the danger of coming out empty handed in the event that the lad is snapped up by the South Africans. This shocking lack of foresight is not only limited to Ingwe. It was the preserve of our noisy neighbours until Bidvest came calling. Apparently, the mandarins at KOgalo never realized that Ivo Mapunda, Donald Mosoti and Edwin Lavatsas contracts had lapsed. It took some clever minds at Simba SC and some nondescript Algerian outt no time to discover this loophole and quickly snapped up the trio as free agents, leaving my good friend George Bwana whining about some supposed injustice. If I were Richard Ekhalie, the Ingwe CEO, Id stop whining about FISA Academys alleged betrayal and move fast to tie up the contracts of our best players because football after all is big business. pmutibo@ke.nationmedai.com
Couldnt the inspection have been done and report given two weeks after end of last season to give the counties ample time to work on their rotten stadiums?
Moses Ojuang
all the lockers were safe; they took showers to see if all the taps were functioning. Ah! What did they not do to better our league? They left nothing to chance and what I report to you dear Kenyans is the result of sacrices made by our fellow Kenyans shadowed only by our overpraised freedom ghters. Let us clap for these people... mako ya kilo tafadhali. It took them the whole month of January and their report came out just a few days before the league season kicked o. According to the report, Thika Stadiums playing surface is in bad shape and the goal posts are not of the recommended size. The facility, which is home to Thika United, lacks changing and washrooms for players and ocials and doesnt possess enough washrooms for the general public. The Kinoru Stadium in Meru County, which Tusker had hoped to use as their home ground this season, is not ready to stage any tie according to the report, because it has an uneven playing surface that is infested with anthills and gaping holes,
while the goalposts are of the wrong size. The report also revealed that Embu Stadiums inner perimeter fence is low with a weak chain-link and hence a danger to players and spectators. Bukhungu stadium in Kakamega also suffers the same disease with goalposts not being of the standard size! Chemelil Stadium, which is home to regular league campaigners Chemelil Sugar, has a low and porous fence that needs to be raised to about 2.5 metres high. Moved to Nairobi The report says the dugouts at the facility are far apart, and need to be relocated to about 15 metres from the centre line. Couldnt the inspection have been done and report given two weeks after end of last season to give the counties ample time to work on their rotten stadiums? It is a sad start. From this report, the KPL had to temporarily ban these stadia. This act done just a few days before the league started of course has now forced teams like Thika United to make Nairobi their home ground and
thus play far from their fans and make the team manager sound silly when he said: We have been forced to secure this alternative (playing at City Stadium) because of the prevailing situation. I want to urge our fans to follow up and support the team in Nairobi. On the other hand, we are making arrangements to have our venue ready for use in the soonest time possible. Mike Muiruri is asking Thika fans to travel to Nairobi for their home matches simply because the great Stadium inspectors took all the time in the world before pronouncing their ndings to be acted upon in time! These same stadia had been used the last season; didnt nobody nd out that the goals were smaller or larger than the rules require? How many goals were scored or missed last season just because of the bumpy grounds and tiny goalposts? Most of all, couldnt the inspection been done and report given two weeks after end of season to give the counties ample time to work on their rot? It is a sad start. mojuang@gmail.com

ON THE CRUISE | Wengers charges will host Everton in the quarter-nals
Its payback time as inspired Arsenal gun down Liverpool

Chamberlain, Podolski steer Gunners to victory over Reds in fth round of FA Cup at Emirates
London rsenal set up an FA Cup quarter-nal meeting with Everton after overcoming Liverpool 2-1 in a feisty and gripping fth-round match at the Emirates Stadium yesterday. Liverpool had trounced Arsenal 5-1 at Aneld in the Premier League last weekend, but the London club took revenge through goals in each half by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski. Steven Gerrard halved Arsenals advantage with a 59th-minute penalty after Podolski was adjudged to have tripped Luis Suarez. The visitors felt they should have been awarded a second spot-kick moments later after Oxlade-Chamberlain appeared to foul Suarez, but their appeals were dismissed by referee Howard Webb. Victory in a game splattered with yellow cards means that Arsenal will host Everton in the last eight, but they will have bruises to nurse ahead of Wednesdays meeting with Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16. While Arsenal brought seven new faces into their team, Liverpool made only three changes, and the opening exchanges threatened a repeat of last weekends game, when the Merseysiders had raced 4-0 up inside 20 minutes. Excellent chances Daniel Sturridge spurned two excellent chances to put Liverpool ahead in the rst ve minutes, rst drawing a near-post save from Lukasz Fabianski after racing onto Gerrards slide-rule pass. The England striker then squandered an even clearer opportunity, gathering a scooped pass from Suarez and rounding Fabianski, only to shoot into the side netting with his weaker right foot. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said that his sides demolition at Anfield had made them nervous during

their mid-week 0-0 draw with Manchester United, but they were not cowed by Liverpools bright opening. Instead they took the game to the visitors, and after Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones had tipped a Per Mertesacker header over the bar, they took the lead in the 16th minute. Liverpool could only partially clear a free-kick, allowing Mesut Ozil to send the ball back into the box from the right, and when Yaya Sanogos volley was blocked by Gerrard, Oxlade-Chamberlain stroked the loose ball home. Podolski could have doubled Arsenals lead when he blazed over following a raid by Ozil, but Suarez provided a reminder of Liverpools threat late in the half with a half-volley that Fabianski scrambled away. The Uruguayan was at it again early in the second period, bamboozling Laurent Koscielny and testing Fabianski with a low shot, but barely a minute later Arsenal doubled their lead. Oxlade-Chamberlain was the creator, exchanging passes with Ozil on the right ank and then charging powerfully to the byline before cutting the ball square for Podolski to clip a shot beneath Jones. Suarez and Sturridge each threatened to pull a goal back, with Ozil working Jones with a low drive at the other end in between, before Podolskis trip on Suarez allowed Gerrard to score from the penalty spot. As evening fell and the tension in the stadium mounted, Fabianski had to save at Sturridges feet and Liverpool were then denied what appeared a clear penalty when Oxlade-Chamberlain felled Suarez.

Giroud sorry for extra-marital aair

London Arsenals French striker Olivier Giroud (left) issued an apology yesterday after a British tabloid newspaper alleged that he had an extra-marital aair. The Sun on Sunday claimed that Giroud spent a night in a hotel with lingerie model Celia Kay prior to Arsenals 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League earlier this month. The article was accompanied by a photograph, reportedly taken by Kay, which apparently showed Giroud in his underpants in a hotel room. I apologise to my wife, family and friends and my manager, teammates and Arsenal fans, Giroud wrote on his Twitter account. I now have to ght for my family and for my club and obtain their forgiveness. Nothing else matters at the moment. Giroud, 27, is Arsenals rstchoice centre-forward and is also a key player for the France national side. Elsewhere, Evertons reward for a fth round FA Cup win over Swansea was a tough quarter-nal draw away to either Arsenal or Liverpool. The Toees advanced into the last eight with a 3-1 win over another Premier League side in the Swans at Goodison Park yesterday. Everton manager Roberto Martinez, who won the Cup with Wigan last season, saw Lacina Traore take just four minutes of his debut to give the Merseysiders the lead. (AFP)

TUSKER PREMIER LEAGUE | Bandaris Bhai and Aswani strike to sink visiting KRA at Mbaraki
Bayern ready for Gunners after big win
Tusker share spoils with Thika

Osumba cancels out Odhiambos strike to force draw with brewers at City
BY DAVID KWALIMWA
dkwalimwa@ke.nationmedia.com ormer champions Tusker FC settled to a 1-1 draw with Thika United at a soggy City Stadium in their rst match of the 2014 Kenyan Premier League season. But Bandari FC started their title campaign on a good note, beating visiting KRA from Nairobi 2-0 in a well-attended match at the Mbaraki Sports Club. All the goals at City Stadium came in the rst-half, with Dennis Odhiambo opening the scores from the penalty spot for a newlook Thika United in the 25th minute. However, Harambee Stars trialist Brian Osumba restored parity with a long-range drive into the roof of the net just before the break which left Uganda international goalkeeper Hamdza Muwonge stranded. Its a fair result. I do not expect much from my players at this time because we are just getting started. But there will come a time when picking a point against us will be almost impossible, Tusker coach Francis Kimanzi said after the match. A heavy down pour at the match venue just after the kick-o saw both teams struggle to control the ball. down former Tusker striker Moses Arita who was charging towards the goal. Defender Dennis Odhiambo calmly converted the resultant penalty, sending goalkeeper Samuel Odhiambo the wrong way. At Mbaraki Sports Club, Winger Ali Bhai put Bandari in the lead just before half-time, with new signing Kepha Aswani netting the second two minutes to the nal whistle. The game got o to a quick pace, with the visitors earning the rst corner in the rst minute. A minute later, Bandaris Aswani was put through by Sserenkuma but he shot wide with only goalkeeper Philip Okayo to beat. On the 29th minute, Bandari took the lead through Bhai who was put through after a neat exchange between Sserenkuma and Abdulatif Omar. The second goal came through Patilla Omottos initiative in the 88th minute as he sent a cracking shot which Okayo failed to contain, leaving Aswani to tap the ball home.
Berlin Manuel Neuer said holders Bayern Munich are relishing facing Arsenal in Wednesdays Champions League last-16, rst-leg clash after routing Freiburg to go 16 points clear in the Bundesliga. Germany goalkeeper Neuer was barely bothered by Freiburgs attack at Munichs Allianz Arena on Saturday as Pep Guardiolas champions extended their record unbeaten Bundesliga run to 46 matches with a 4-0 victory. Guardiola rested several stars ahead of the trip to the Gunners Emirates Stadium, but still started with 10 internationals. We wanted to put in a good performance before the Arsenal game now were looking forward to the Champions League, said Neuer. Brazil centre-back Dante opened the scoring when he headed home on 19 minutes, and Swiss Xherdan Shaqiri added the second on 34 minutes after a superb reverse pass from Claudio Pizarro fell into his path and he red home. Game ended on a sour note The stocky Swiss then added his second just before the break, and veteran striker Pizarro added a fourth two minutes from time. The game ended on a sour note for Shaqiri, though, as he went o with a torn hamstring and will miss the Arsenal match. Guardiola praised his side for a ninth straight victory in all competitions dating back to Decembers 3-2 defeat at home to Manchester City in the Champions League group stage. It is always dicult when the whole world says we have to win, said the Spaniard. I am very happy, it is unbelievable how the players are always fully concentrated, regardless of what happens. We didnt play particularly well this time, but we were serious. We only played well in the rst 15, 20 minutes, but thats three more points and one game less. Having won last seasons league title with a record six games to spare, Bayern are on course to have the German league title again conrmed early. (AFP)

he country is facing a shortage of between 7 million and 10 million bags of maize, the Agriculture Cabinet secretary has said. Mr Felix Koskei (right), however, said the government has enough food for now. The government has put measures in place to ensure it responds to any situation, he added. Speaking during a forum for the Departmental Committee of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives at a Mombasa hotel, the minister said the government is in charge of food security. We are facing huge challenges as a country, but I want to assure the nation that we have enough food that will last us up to May.
He said maize had been moved from North Rift and South Rift to 24 counties that are vulnerable to drought. At the same time, the Cabinet secretary said the government had come up with a plan to cushion livestock keepers. Mr Koskei said that the Cabinet had approved Sh600 million to buy livestock from people in drought-stricken areas so that they wont incur losses when the animals die.

Mr Koskei said the meeting was called to brief members of the departmental committee on the status of legal reforms put in place in the last two years to ensure they are put into operation. The meeting also looked at the ministrys performance and status of projects it is carrying out.

A FIELD NOT SO LEVEL
Quota or no quota, Kenyas poor still cant access quality education

To provide a level playing eld for Form One entrance, the government allocates more spaces to public primary schools than private ones. On the surface, this seems fair. Noble even. But the biggest and most recurring argument against this system is that it immorally prevents the brightest bulbs from private schools from getting into the institutions they deserve. And then there is the high fees charges in these schools. Even for those who get the admission letters here, money, not quotas, is the true leveller

is once-white shirt was tattered and his shoes covered by a thin film of dust when he finally walked through the huge Kakamega High School gate last week. His muscles aching from the long walk he had just trekked 48 kilometres to this place Martin Obila cut a sorry gure. A sorry but determined gure. Where his Form One colleagues were spick and span, dust covered him like a nagging pest, his lips dry from dehydration. And yet, despite the odds, the young boy could not have been happier. For 12 hours he had been on the road. Kisumu to Kakamega. Because he could not aord the Sh200 bus fare. Martin, 16, was hoping to be admitted into the national school to begin his secondary education. He had none of the usual luggage: no box, no beddings, and certainly no toiletries. His only worldly possessions when he walked through that gate were the clothes on his back, his admission letter into the institution, and a results slip that proudly indicated his stellar KCPE score: 387 marks out of a possible 500. On average, then, he had scored 77.4 per cent in every paper he had sat. And here he was, tired, thirsty, but determined to learn. If he could walk the almost 50 kilometres to school in
this age of spaceships and inter-planetary travel, what else could stand in his way? We use Martins story to get into the rights and wrongs of Kenyas education system, which regulates admission of students into secondary schools in a very controversial manner. The system uses quotas and armative action to provide a level playing eld for Form One entrance, ensuring that top-performing candidates from private academies do not crowd out Martin and his counterparts from public schools and hog all the available places in prestigious national schools. On the surface, this seems fair. Noble even. Everyone wants to give the disadvantaged child a chance. However, the biggest and most recurring argument against the quota system is that it immorally favours pupils from public schools, hence prevents the brightest bulbs from private schools from getting into the institutions they deserve. Some argue that a pupil from a public primary school with 350 marks is more likely to get a place in a national high school than one from a private school who scored over 400 marks. So, yes, it is true that public school pupils are getting more admission letters to national schools than their private school counterparts. However, those highly coveted admission letters are the closest most of
these poor kids will get to the schools of their choice because the cost of learning at the desired institutions is so high that unless they get outside help, they have no chance of meeting it. And this does not make Musau Ndunda a happy man. The secretary general of the Kenya National Association of Parents (KNAP) has been up in arms about the arbitrary raise of school fees by secondary schools heads.
Favours public primary schools
102,000
Fees per year, in Kenya shillings, charged at Moi Girls Eldoret national school for new Form One admissions, according to reports.
Schools are conning parents openly, and those bloated fee structures should be declared null and void, he argues. The man, though, has legitimate cause for worry. An article in the Business Daily last week revealed that top national schools in the country were charging astronomically
high levies. Limuru Girls High School, for instance, was charging Sh128,000 annually, more than 110 per cent the fees paid at the institution in 2009. Others on the list were Alliance High School at Sh120,000, Moi Girls High School Eldoret at Sh102,000 and Lenana School and Nairobi Schools, both at Sh96,000 per year. Now, if Martin cannot aord the Sh200 bus fare to Kakamega, there is no way he will pay the fortune charged in these schools. But he is a lucky boy, because Kakamega High School, a former provincial institution which was upgraded into national school status in 2012, is charging a lot less than its counterparts: Sh66,450 per year. And thats where the rubber meets the road. For him and his ilk, it does not matter what the levies are. Without support, he will just be another statistic, just one among hundreds of thousands of poor but bright kids who are unable to aord an education. Despite the fact that pupils from public primary schools were allocated 75 per cent of the available 17,000 slots in the 105 national schools, majority of them will not be reporting even as the term begins. They, like Martin, are too poor to aord even a fraction of the fees. This is perhaps one of the many reasons that has seen KNAP move to the High Court to challenge the increase in levies. KNAPs case is premised on the fact that

the government augments that amount with Sh10,265 per child per year. Awiti, however, argues that the economic reality has changed since then, and that the Education Act, in eradicating fees, is putting the burden of cost on the teachers. This is why principals in boarding schools have had to raise fees to cushion their schools against the high cost of living. On whether the raised fees are because of the boarding cost alone, the KSSHA chair points out that even the cost of tuition has gone up. The government does not provide enough teachers, hence schools are forced to dip into their coers to hire teachers. This ends up raising the tuition fees as well, he explains, lamenting the fact that head teachers have been painted as unfeeling mercenaries out to make a quick buck while locking poor students out of learning institutions. Parents must be involved in any decision to raise school fees. The procedure dictates that over 80 per cent of parents must endorse any plans to increase fees, he says, adding that, to the best of his knowledge, all the principals have followed this procedure. But the government earlier this month directed school heads and parents associations to stop raising fees, which means that even the guidelines Awiti is talking about are currently null. Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang said school heads who deed the order would be held liable. A circular has since been issued to schools freezing any fee increments and requiring heads to maintain the fees charged last year. Speaking at a meeting with the National Assemblys Education committee, Dr Kipsang said the ministry was aware that some schools were charging up to Sh130,000 on new admissions, and that the government was getting worried that public schools are being privatised . And so Ndunda, of KNAP, has gone to court to challenge even the current fees, which he terms illegal. But Awiti, the school heads association chair, while saying Ndunda has a right to take his case to court, advises that it would have been better if he had tried to engage all stakeholders in the education sector to nd a common ground. This is the position the government has taken, after Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi banned fee hikes along with any discussions in annual general meetings over the issue. The CS also suspended annual teachers conferences and motivational fees to reward teachers, saying that the costs burdened parents. Kaimenyi also ordered an audit into the fee increments and set up a task force that is charged with nding a solution to address the concerns of the parents, teachers and all other stakeholders in the education sector. To Awiti, this is the way to go, and he hopes that the taskforce will come up with guidelines that everyone would be comfortable with. In the meantime, the KNAP law suit is set for hearing on February 18, 2014. Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi, the Teachers Service Commission and education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang have been named as respondents in the case. PS: Worry not about Martin Obila. Kakamega High School accepted him as he was and mobilised resources to furnish him with some of the basics. He now has a uniform, a little shopping and a mattress and blanket for his bed. In addition, the Migori County womens representative, Dennitah Ghati, has pledged to pay Martins fees for his rst year. It seems the 16-year-olds dream of becoming a judge is well on course!

mkenyamoja13: I think the President and Cabinet Secretary should just keep quiet on this. Fact is, the government gives very little funding to schools (apart from paying teachers), the recommended school fees is in many cases not sucient, (and) Parliament and the Executive have clamped down on all measures that school heads apply to chase fees defaulters (by the way, the poor are not the greatest fees defaulters). I agree that some schools have gone overboard in terms of extra charges, but that does not justify generalised statements like the one issued here. The government needs to come up with a workable solution for funding education. Andy: Head teachers are always being warned about increasing fees and levies at the beginning of every term. Enough with the warnings, corporal punishment should now follow! MKiraithe: It is good that the president has spoken on exorbitant school levies in the name of school fees being charged in some public high schools. However, we need action on the same as it has already disadvantaged many students from poor families. KK: Most parents are technically not involved in the discussions on fee increases. They are usually presented with already worked out fee proposals for endorsement. Discussion on the proformas is usually hurried and parents are intimidated by the management (say, secretary and chairperson) in such a way that they do not question the fee increases. If the secretaries to the BOMs should be put in the same process as the police chiefs, amazing results would be revealed. mkiraithe: Kenya National Union of Teachers and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers are wrong on high school fees charged in most public secondary schools. Board of governors and parents teachers associations consultations are in most cases a scam and do not reect the interest of the wider community. BOGs are hand-picked and most of the members are elitists who are not in touch with the realities of the common man. A proper audit also needs to be done and the results shared widely. This is because some of the items charged raise eyebrows. For example, a certain school was charging Sh5,500 for bread vouchers per term per student. These charges, when unregulated, cause increment in school fees and lock out students from poor families.

Held liable
the increase in fees is unconstitutional, a position buttressed by the Education Act of 2013, which denes basic education as that oered in pre-primary, primary and secondary schools. Section 29 (1) of the Act reads: No public school shall charge, or cause any parent or guardian to pay, tuition fees for or on behalf of any pupil in the school. In addition, the Act prohibits head teachers from handling nances, mandating them only with the responsibility of ensuring that pupils and students attend school. But the situation on the ground is a mockery of the Act. Hiked school fees have ensured that poor pupils and students stay out of school, and head teachers, who are supposed to keep their ngers out of the nancial cookie pot, are the chief campaigners for the exorbitant charges. However, John Awiti, chairman of the Kenya Secondary School Heads Association, is making the case for the head teachers. The Education Act is not practical because it did not consider boarding schools at all, says Awiti. Even with the Sh10,265 that the government gives for each child every year, schools would not be able to run on the Sh18,000 each student is supposed to pay annually. The gures he is referring to are part of recommendations by a 2009 task force, led by educationist Eddah Gachukia, that set a standardised levy of Sh18,628 per year for students in public boarding schools, and Sh3,600 for those in day schools. The same task force recommended that

philip kitoto
Dear Mr Kitoto, I am 30. I met a man of 35 and fell in love with him. I thought he was also in love with me. After dating for some months, I got pregnant. He wasnt very happy when he learnt about my pregnancy but later accepted it and said he would help with the baby. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl but this man was nowhere to be seen for six months. Since he was living alone and really loved his child, I decided to give him a chance so I moved in with him. However, I pay the rent and do almost everything for the family, yet he doesnt appreciate how hard I am working. I feel as if he took us in because I could could put a roof over his head while he is in love with someone else. He really doesnt care about me and we dont talk the way normal couples do. This hurts me a lot, but every time I tell him to move out and live the kind of life he wants, he tells me that he will never leave, and that I am free to leave if I want to. I am
Do I move out as soon as I can or do I try and make my marriage work? Knight Hi, Many times people who are in relationships say, I thought he was in love It makes me wonder, Why do we get deceived so easily. I am sorry to say that the signs of this mans lack of responsibility were evident early. And your push for the two of you to live together just opened a door for him to take full advantage of you. I have a feeling that the reason you moved in with him was so that he could take responsibility. However, he sees your move as situation in which he can take advantage of you. I am also surprised that this man, who was living alone and paying his bills is, all of a sudden, unable to to anything for his family. So my question is, What will bring you happiness? I can assure you that you were going about the pursuit of this happiness the wrong way. I believe that, rst, you need to get rid of your fears and seek what is best for you and your daughter. Second, do not allow yourself to act out of desperation. This man is not adding any value to you or the child. Third, if you want to live with him, it is a personal choice you have to make. But if that is the case, I would advise that both of you seek marriage counselling. Fourth, your emotional state is key to how you will parent. Be careful that the negative environment created by the way you treat each other in the house does not spill over to your daughter. Nine months of being together is enough for you to know where his commitment is. The reason he says you are not is wife but sometimes introduces you as such could be a desire on his part to make you feel insecure. But it could also mean he does not want to make any commitment regarding the future. This issue needs to be sorted out. You need to know from him in plain terms where you stand in his life. Whether his friends, parents and others know that you are living together will not make things better for you. He needs to spell out your role in this marriage.

really desperate to be happy, even without him, but my main concern is my daughter. Will I be doing the right thing if I move out with her since theres no need for me to live with someone who doesnt care? We have been living together for nine months and he doesnt have a stable job. He says I am not his wife but when we go out together, he introduces me to his friends as his wife. His parents know that we are living together and they consider me his wife but he has never met my family. I have tried to get him to meet my mother but he has refused. Please advise me what to do.

Dear Pastor Kitoto, I met a pretty woman in 2007 and we fell in love, or so I thought. That was after more than a year of being single after being heartbroken by the mother of my daughter. We got engaged in 2009. I visited her home and she visited my

committed to. As a human being, I have my weaknesses but was very accommodative of her. But she never even once accepted any wrongdoing on her part. We were both great in the bedroom. She used to behave like she really loved me but in retrospect, I now realise she was just acting since her heart was with her brother in-law, with whom she started having an aair while living with her sister. This woman would not do anything for me. It was as if I didnt have a woman in my life and was also a single father. I would go to market to buy stu and give instructions to the house-help (whom she accused me of sleeping with). She didnt even care about the welfare of my daughter. She would give money to house-helps to run away, and when we didnt have a house-help, she would do nothing around the house. Imagine me washing my daughters clothes as well as the utensils and also cooking, yet I had a woman in my house whom I was planning to marry. I am not saying that those were strictly her duties, but considering the situation, she should have done the lions share. The purpose of this letter is to ask you whether I did the right thing by ending the relationship. Two, in my future relationships, do I still do everything for my woman the way I did for this woman because I have come to believe I spoil them to the extent that they take advantage of my goodness. Three, this woman has been living with her sister, who didnt know that she (my ex) was having an aair with her brother-in-law, and that they even had a child. Worse still, the aair started even before they got married because my exs daughter is older than her sisters rst born. The truth has now come out in the open. What will the two sisters do? And what about the husband who, in addition to these two, has another wife back in the village and several mistresses all over town. My ex is pushing for the man to marry her but their customs do not allow it. Meanwhile, her brother-in-law is avoiding the issue. From what I hear, the two sisters could easily harm each other ghting over the man. Finally, how much should a man provide for a woman who is working? What is fair, bearing in mind that the man provides the basics (food, shelter, education, medical). She called me names whenever I didnt give her money to do her hair or didnt allow her to use my cars. I never stopped providing anything I considered a basic need. Does providing equal true love and commitment? And must a man be so rough with a woman, to the extent of hitting her, to show love? She would tell me I was not man enough since I was always diplomatic even when she provoked me. Please advise me, the two sisters and this man who cant zip up. Name withheld on request As I read through your mail, I could feel a lot of pain and resentment towards your ex girlfriend and her brother in-law. I can only imagine what this would do to her sister. Sadly, I dont think family and personal values are among the things she holds dear. Her desire is to get what she wants, however she wants it. I empathise with her sister, who is being undermined by her own esh and blood. I pray that her husband comes to his senses and considers what kind of pain this could inict on her. This woman chose a path that is dierent from yours and the best way to avoid adding insult to injury is to do what you did. I pray that one day she will wake up and make things right. In addition, the choices people make have lasting consequences. Regarding her behaviour, if she does not change the way she is doing things, she will not only hurt herself, but many others as well. You have a right to build your own life based on the values you embrace, like integrity and respect. Do not let your future be determined by the failures of other people. When we serve others, our desire should be to do it the way God does for us. We dont serve to get something in return. Love is a choice we make to serve others regardless of their choices. Therefore, the way you served her should not stand in the way of your being a better person. If you allow regret and pain to weigh you down, you will turn into a selsh person who will only bring unhappiness to himself. I pray that you take time to learn from the process. How did you dene love then? Did you base your denition on doing things to buy someones recognition or did you love the way God loved by giving the best for us. Here is my advice as you make a move to heal and build new relationships in the future. First, I pray that you heal fully and not rush into another relationship. This could cloud your judgment. Two, do a better job next time by looking at character rst, and not other factors. Great relationships are built where character comes rst. Such character must be based on values such as faithfulness, trust, respect and empathy, among others. Third, be alert and avoid anything that could deceive you. Let others help you evaluate behaviour patterns of any future partner. Try and study their past and how it aects the way they live now.
Teaching Generation Y the basics of a strong relationship

BY ANDREW REINER
NYT I RECENTLY overheard two students talking in a dining hall at the university where I teach. Yeah, I might get married, too, one conded. But not until Im at least 30 and have a career. Then she grinned. Until then? Im going to party it up. This young woman was practically following a script. An increasing number of studies show that many millennials want to marry - someday. Generation Y is postponing marriage until, on average, age 29 for men and 27 for women. College-educated millennials in particular view it as a capstone to their lives rather than as a cornerstone, according to a report whose sponsors include the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. Yet for all of their future designs on marriage, many of them may not get there. Their romance operandi hooking up and hanging out outs the golden rule of what makes marriages and love work: emotional vulnerability. Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection, writes Bren Brown, a University of Houston researcher whose work focuses on the need for vulnerability and what happens when we desensitise ourselves to it. Given the way members of Generation Y have been conditioned, their seemingly blithe attitude about marriage, perhaps even about love, may become less of a boon and more of a bust. Its no wonder, really, that many millennials are in this predicament, often at no fault of their own. Their lifelong associations with love are a familiar soundtrack: Since early childhood their ears have been subjected to thumping messages in the popular culture that sex confers social cachet and, more than anything else, belongs front and centre in their identities. (Helloooo, Sex Week!) Then theres the familiar lyrics from their parents rants about why grades, internships and anything else that makes their rsums appear more extraordinary trump romantic relationships. And the constant bass line of social media, which, lets face it, trivializes the complexity of romantic relationships. (One study out of the University of Missouri found that people in romantic relationships of three years or less who use Facebook more than once an hour are more likely to experience relational corrosion, including indelity.) But wait a minute. Dont we naturally become more emotionally mature by the time were ready to settle down in our 30s? Not as much anymore. Research led by social psychologist Sara H. Konrath at the University of Michigan has shown that college students self-described levels of empathy have declined since 1980, especially so in the past 10 years, as quantiable levels of self-esteem and narcissism have skyrocketed. Add to this the hypercompetitive reex that hooking up triggers (the peer pressure to take part in the hookup culture and then to be rst to unhook) and the noncommittal mindset that hanging out breeds. The result is a generation thats terried of, and clueless about, the ABCs of romantic intimacy. In The End of Sex: How Hookup Culture Is Leaving a Generation Unhappy, Sexually Unfullled, and Confused About Intimacy, Donna Freitas chronicles the ways in which this trend is creating the rst generation in history that has no idea how to court a potential partner, let alone nd the language to do so. If this fear of vulnerability began and ended with mere bumbling attempts at courtship, then all of this might seem harmless, charming even. But so much more is at stake. During class discussions, my students often admit to hoping that relationships will simply unfold through hooking up. After ings that spring forth from oxytocin. This love hormone is released during orgasm, but it also oods the body and brain after hugging or aectionate touching. Yet we deny such molecular reactions at great peril, according to Dr Dean Ornish, founder of the non-prot Preventive Medicine Research Institute and author of Love and Survival: The Scientic Basis for the Healing Power of Intimacy. I am not aware of any other factor in medicine that has a greater impact on our survival than the healing power of love and intimacy, Ornish writes. Not diet, not smoking, not exercise, not stress, not genetics, not drugs, not surgery. So, the question that has never needed asking before now looms large: How do we teach a generation how to love? As many of my own students have professed, they arent exactly seeing their ideal of love modelled at home or among friends. Some campus counselling centres have picked up on this curiosity and frustration, oering workshops on related topics, such as the one at the University of Kentucky on healthy dating, or at Duke University on How to Be in Love. Dukes original series featured four sessions, including surviving breakups, recognising toxic romance and discerning between love and infatuation. A spino seminar will focus on relationship issues for women of colour. The time has arrived for such programmes, says Theresa Benson, assistant director of the counseling centre at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Benson oversees a sta of 20 undergraduates who develop and lead the workshops. One, College Dating: Uncovering the Dating Scene, helps students learn essentials like how to ask someone out, what to do on a date and the many faces of relationships, including polyamory. When Benson says, Students may not be learning the interpersonal skills to communicate face to face, she may be couching this trend a bit too tentatively. That there is even a need for these workshops speaks volumes: The most elemental skills of romantic intimacy are going the way of cursive handwriting. Perhaps this is where college classrooms can step in. For this rsum-driven generation, schools would do well to add a grade-based seminar about love. The course could cross many academic disciplines: the biology of intimacy; the multicultural history of courtship; the psychology and sociology of vulnerability. Such a proposal may sound farfetched. But this is an opportunity for colleges to walk the talk of their marketing messages, which tout developing not just the minds of students but the whole person. Its time for students to feel the love.
all, one student recently said, nobody wants to have The Talk, the dreaded confrontation that claries romantic hopes and expectations. You come o as too needy. This fear sets up the dicey precedent Brown warns us about: Dodging vulnerability cheats us of the chance to not just create intimacy, but also to make relationships work. Then theres the emotional fallout of hooking up. This kind of sexual intimacy inevitably leads to becoming emotionally empty, Freitas writes. In gearing themselves up for sex, they must at the same time drain themselves of feeling. This dynamic is about more than simply quelling nerves with liquid courage at college parties or clubs. Its about swallowing back emotions that are perceived as annoying obstacles. And this can start a dangerous cycle. We cannot selectively numb emotions, Brown writes. When we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions. We further desensitise ourselves to love when we stie the bonding feel-
He hurts me so much
Dear Pastor Kitoto, My name is Grace, and I am 23. Im dating a man of 29. He claims to love me but keeps entertaining other women. Just the other day I found a text message from his ex on his phone; to my surprise, they still communicate. I got extremely angry with him. However, I am very honest with him. I do whatever I know will make him happy. I have never cheated on him but he makes me feel like taking revenge. We are not on good terms as we are not talking. I cant bear the thought of him having another person in his life. Should I leave him? Please advise. Grace Hi, What I see here are signals that all is not well. If this man is a player, I suggest that the two of you deal with the issue. Discuss the values you both need to embrace. If you are not strong enough to avoid the inuence, I can see you succumbing to the temptation to take revenge by breaking the very rules you are against him breaking. There is already so much bad blood in the relationship at an early stage that is already poisoning it.

what I got from the relationship, and I believe the two are mutual. In comparison, I gave her my time, attention, nancial support (despite her having a stable, well-paying job) unconditional love, fare to work when she wasnt
using my car or if I wasnt dropping her or picking her up. I paid her daughters school fees and placed them both under my medical cover. Pastor, I gave everything a responsible man could possibly give a woman he truly loves and is

COMMENT
How ready are you for your own death?

Being prepared for death does not simply mean telling people where you want to be buried, but includes details of exactly how the ceremony should be conducted
BY BRIGED MUTELLAH
btellah@gmail.com hile many articles on death take a spiritual approach, I want to tackle the subject from a dierent perspective. That is not to imply that spirituality should be downplayed. However, I leave spiritual matters to those well versed in religion since even I still need a few sermons on the dos and donts of the afterlife. Mine is a focus on earthly preparedness, if I could call it that. How organised are your aairs if you were to die suddenly? Death is a tricky subject with some communities and religions deeming it taboo to even think about it. Its funny Im discussing death when, not so long ago, I was criticising someone who planned to set up a morgue to earn some extra income. You should have seen the shock on my face; I wondered if they were going insane. Truth be told, most of us think people who run that type of business or who work in morgues are sadists or have no moral compass. I believe that cashing in on peoples grief is morally wrong, but that is a discussion for another day. What pushed me to write this article is that I was recently at a funeral and got involved in a discussion on how some people get buried in their upcountry homes where there are no structures, simply because they were caught off guard, so to speak. Amid of all the grief, families are forced to hurriedly
put up structures to ensure that they comply with our numerous African traditions. Those who leave us behind did what most humans do procrastinate. We decide to first buy that house in Rongai, then build that home in Ruiru after which we put up those ats in Parklands, all the while forgetting that death caomes like a thief, with no warning. So when it comes, where would you want to be buried. Im sure that has got you thinking about where you would want to- be laid to rest. If you dont have a place to call your own, meaning a rural home, and are living in an area where the dead pay their own debts, woe unto you. Maybe you wouldnt mind a Langata Cemetery burial? At the funeral, I told my friends how I wanted my burial conducted, including which choir I wanted to sing at the church service and where I wanted to be buried. The response I got is one youve probably heard many times: What will you do, youll be dead! So if you dont want to end up in Langata Cemetery, what are you doing to ensure it doesnt happen? Being prepared for death does not stop at where you want to be buried, but includes details of how you want to be buried. I had a heated debate with my younger sister the other day when she boldly declared that she wanted to be cremated and I told her, Hell, no! . Meanwhile, her dearest gallantly stated that he would honour her wishes, and that he would ght me
Irrespective of our station in life, we all want a decent send-o. Why not plan ahead and spare our relatives the hassle of organising our funeral?
all the way. I realised this is how people end up with court cases, with bodies being at the morgue for two months. I am sure many are all familiar with the recent case of a father who resurrected just when his daughter was being buried, yet her husband had known all along that the old man was dead.What trauma! Apart from the burial rites, there is the touchy subject of division of assets. It has always puzzles me how we plan and strategise how to make money. We nally make that money and build an empire, with some are lucky enough to leave egacies, yet we dont bother to to document who should enjoy our hard-earned money. We never seem to learn from the rich. The [Gerishom] Kirima story is a case in point. If you are rich, you can be sure that people will weep at your grave with one eye closed but both ears wide open. But lets forget about the rich, what about the middle class? Horror stories of widows left destitute with their children because they have been kicked out or disinherited are not unusual. I believe the truth is that we are unaware, not bothered, or simply too scared of death not to learn from other peoples mistakes. I believe that as individuals, we know what we want in life as in death. If we can write ve to 10year strategic plans for our lives, then surely we can do the same for our deaths. Maybe we are all afraid that if we write it down, it feels more like doom than forward thinking. Death is a reality we have to face, just like we have learnt to take out

Personally, I want a customised Irish-Kamba wake with lots of dancing and celebreation. My people know this but the only way I can make sure the will to it is by documenting it
insurance policies to ensure that our families dont suer after we die, or how we complete next of kin forms indicating what each beneciary gets. I believe with time, we will embrace writing a will like the Western world. This will help us sleep tight, knowing that those whom we are working hard to provide for do not end up getting disinherited by greedy relatives or short-changed by a bureaucratic system. Irrespective of our station in life, we all want a decent send-o. Why not plan ahead and spare our families and friends the hassle of organising our funeral. This will leave them time to mourn us. Personally, I want a customised Irish-Kamba wake with lots of dancing and celebration. My people know this, but the only way I can be sure they will do it is if I legally document it. If you dont say and document what you want, be prepared to spend up to months in City Mortuary as your family debates on where yto bury you, so that they can have control over who inherits your property.
FEEDBACK
Binyavanga Wainaina was my hero, then he spoilt it by revealing he was gay

BY MUGO WA NJERI
sworldwanjeeri@gmail.com IN AN INTERVIEW LAST YEAR, Binyavanga Wainaina (left) said he hadnt married because he hadnt found any reason to do so. He also said that he was disturbed by societys paranoia towards minority groups like gays, and that his next project would shock Kenyas moral police. My cousin, who was reading the piece with me, wondered what Wainaina was going to release. Then, on January 3 this year, as we were having coee, my cousin ashed Page 3 of the Daily Nation before me and remarked: So Wainaina is gay, after all! I couldnt believe my ears! The revelation by the author of the short story, Discovering Home, the critical essay How to Write About Africa, and the novel One Day I Will Write About This Place, had been made the previous Sunday via a South African blog, Chimurenga Chronic. However, I hadnt heard the news. The Missing Chapter of My Life was meant for Wainainas mother, who died 13 years ago. The project that was going to shock the moral police turned out to be a hurriedly and loosely done anti-moral diatribe, We Must Free Our Imaginations, directed at Pentecostals. I was devastated by that news since Wainana had been my hero since he exploded onto the literary world with his Caine Award-winning short story, Discovering Home, in 2003. My cousin and another budding writer, Fred Gachanja, had particularly closely followed Wainainas bi-weekly Kwani? literary fest clinics since they were launched in the 2000s. Then, Wainaina had heralded a new era of writing that deed the seminal approach espoused by the old guard. Fresh, unorthodox and rebellious, he identied well with the young writers searching for identity in a literary eld still dominated by post-independence and pre-multipartyism writers. Wainaina quickly became a brand and a voice for the voiceless. Homosexuality is still unlawful in Kenya, although some people argue that it should be legalised because it exists. However, its opponents like me view it as unnatural and ungodly. It is instructive that no culture or religion in the world recognises or encourages gayism as a virtue. Kenya is about 70 per cent Christian and 20 per cent Muslim. So why are these Western values being rammed down our throats by foreigners via proxy (NGOs, the Church et al) in exchange for the cheap dollar? Vices in society should be corrected, not accepted. They shouldnt be persecuted. For, essentially, homosexuals are more often than not themselves victims of paedophilia who end up being abusers in adulthood if they conform instead of reform, that is. Conformity in this case might be the victims often subconscious way of venting their anger or frustration on an uncaring society or avenging their shattered childhood innocence. In normal circumstances, it is virtually impossible to recruit heterosexual adults into homosexuality. Thus, the muchdenied correlation between homosexuality and paedophilia is well established. Yet conformity has since time immemorial been a haven for social mists lacking the willpower to ght their perversive addictions. But the real tragedy is the homosexuals persistent, alldrawn campaign to force us to rubberstamp their immoral social perversion. They shouldnt violate our rights by forcing us, against our religio-moral beliefs, to accept their acts as right. We should not proclaim what is wrong as right merely for our own selsh reasons. Stealing does not become acceptable simply because I am a thief. True friends of Africa should help the continent solve the many problems bedevilling, it such as hunger and disease. Besides, African governments are increasingly coming up with stier anti-gay laws, with Uganda and Nigeria being prime examples. The fact that homosexuality has been there for a long time doesnt make it right or African. Just like sin, or stealing. The views are the writers.

Students who dont quite need university hostel accommodation have turned to letting their rooms to outsiders
BY MICHELLE DIBO
dibomichelle@gmail.com niversity students have discovered a new business. A number of them are landlords. They let their campus hostel rooms to outsiders, particularly young bachelors and single women, who have also discovered that they can secure a room at more aordable monthly rent. We can conrm that this is rampant in three public universities in Nairobi. Most aected are male student hostels. With their much larger population, it is dicult to dierentiate between a student and a non-student. Dennis, a former student at one of the aected universities, has taken residency in one of the hostels. He completed his studies in 2011 and got a job in Nairobi, but he says he found rental houses in the estates to be out of his reach. He discovered he could live within university grounds undetected. Its not very easy to identify an outsider in the boys hostels. The boys are so many and its also not like we check in whenever we get into the hostel, he says. John is luckier. He is a former student, accommodated by a student in a campus hostel. I do not have a room of my own, but I share one with a friend. It works for now, since I do not pay rent. I also get free security, electricity and water. This works for me at the moment, he brags. Mercy, who was a student at Moi University in Eldoret, also settled for a room in a university hostel in Nairobi after looking for affordable accommodation in vain. She says that she had a hard time getting a favourable room, as those that were easily available were in the boys hostels. She finally found a female student who was renting out her room for Sh4,000 per month and decided to make a deal with her. Because the students are only allowed into their rooms when they are in session, Mercy has to look for new landlords every now and then.

The Multimedia University (MMU) has a new management team. It will be headed by Prof Festus Kaberia as Vice Chancellor, who will be deputised by Prof Rosebella Maranga (Administration and Finance) and Prof Paul Mbatia (Academic Aairs, Research and Innovation). Appointed by education Cabinet Secretary, Prof Jacob Kaimenyi, in consultation with the University Council, they replace Prof Walter Oyawa, Prof Charles Njoroge and Prof Douglas Shitanda. The new MMU VC previously served as the Deputy VC for Research, Production and Extension, Dean, and Director at JKUAT. He also worked as Deputy Commission Secretary for the then Commission for Higher Education and as the Ambassador of Kenya to India. Prof Maranga, a Zoologist, served in various academic and administration capacities at JKUAT for over 20 years, while Prof Mbatia was an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nairobi.

Staying in the hostels is very cheap, she declares. I pay between Sh4,000 and Sh5,000 per month for a partitioned room. I do not pay for water or electricity. The food is also very cheap as compared to the estate markets. According to Mercy, many other non-students live with their friends and relatives in the university hostels. You can even nd as many as four girls living in one room. All they have to do is get a mattress and share. Mercy claims that she has lived in the student hostels for close to one year now. Because she works near the university, she does not spend money on transport. This, she says, helps her to save and soon, she will be able to move out of the hostels. There is also the case of students in one university renting out their rooms to those from another university, as one Kevin Njuguna reveals. Kevin says he was not lucky to get accommodation in his university, and so while searching for a bedsitter in a nearby residential estate a friend informed him that he could nd aordable accommodation at the neighbouring
university. It was actually easier than I thought. We just talked with some of the students there and they directed us to those who were renting out their rooms, he says. But among non-students who live in the university hostels are those who are driven by irregular motives. Students refer to them as goons . One such character is Salim Masese. Some students say he is about 36. He declines vehemently. Strangely, he has no qualms being referred to

as a goon. According to him, being a goon means protecting the interest of the students. He therefore refers to the small gang he heads as the campus peace maintainers , and declares that they are about 30, among them regular students. Masese is said to have at one point lived in a wooden room he had constructed by himself on campus grounds. Now he shares a hostel room with some members of his crew after his self-made room was destroyed by security for the umpteenth time. He denies this claim, saying: I am friends with the school administration and even during my school days, I used to work for the administration. When asked why he lives on campus yet he is not a student, he claims that he likes to study and so he stays at the university to gain access to the library. He points out quickly that he is trying to get back to class. Insiders say that the body responsible for accommodation at the university has tried on many occasions to throw him out of the CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
Digital learning to kick o in Embakasi pilot project

A pilot project on e-learning will be launched at Embakasi Garrison Primary School in Nairobi on Wednesday afternoon. The project, known as m-learning, involves providing content of school textbooks on tablets to be distributed to learners. Besides the textbook content, the concepts being taught are spiced with songs, games, animations and questions to stimulate learning. According to the promoters of the initiative Qualcomm Wireless a global manufacturer of telecommunication products, the e-learning project will use technology to make learning exciting and interactive, and through that, ensure eective mastery of the subjects. It is motivated by the fact that textbooks alone do not allow children to visualise and internalise abstract and complex concepts, hence a combination of items. Broadly, the package introduces learners to diverse skills, including numeracy, social awareness and analytical thinking, and move them away from rote learning that sties creativity. The project comes in the wake of the governments plan to provide laptops to Standard One pupils. Its outcomes are expected to provide insights into e-learning that the government can benet from as it rolls out the digital learning programme in schools. Qualcomm Wireless is working on the project in partnership with education ministry and a host of technology players such as iHub Research, eLimu, bboxx, Safaricom and Motorola.

SO YOU WANT TO BE AN INFORMATION SECURITY ANALYST...
SMART MOVES
Its a hacking job, basically

The work involves protecting information throughout its life span
BY PAULINE KAIRU
polinekairu@yahoo.com emember sometime in 2012 when a hacker in Indonesia attacked and defaced Kenya government websites in a major cyber security breach? To solve such a problem or better still to prevent it would require an information security analyst. Ruth Efrain does such a job. She is basically an IT specialist responsible for safeguarding data and communications that are stored and shared in network systems. Ms Efrain is currently working with a company called Skilledsoft, which she co-runs with associates. The company specialises in resolving and preventing computer network breaches. She explains: We test the security of your environment and identify where the vulnerabilities and holes are. We explain how a hacker would be able to break into your system. We then tell you what you need to do to ensure that you are not compromised again. To do this, they themselves have to wear the hat of a hacker. This means they have to do everything the bad guys would do if they wanted to hack into your system. She calls this oensive security. The job therefore requires that one holds condentiality supreme to be trusted with all sorts of organisational and trade secrets.
When you give us the consent to break into your network, we will come at it guns blazing. We will test it like a thief, black hat style Ruth Efrain
We have found ourselves concentrating more on web-based attacks because everyone is going to the web the e-banking platforms that nancial institutions are oering to their customers. Company secrets are passed through these same platforms, she says. Efrain is able to do what she does because together with her associates,
PAULINE KAIRU | DAILY NATION
they started out as hackers. They have the minds of the hackers, and so they understand how to help organisations to bypass security threats directed at them. She quickly explains that although hacking is generally understood to be malicious, theirs is the ethical type. They are referred to as the white hat hackers. The bad guys are the black hat hackers. The white hats do compliance. They do not partake to destructive activity. In between, there are the grey hat hackers, who are sometimes good and other times bad.
When you give us the consent to break into your network, we will come at it guns blazing. We will test it like a thief, black hat style. Why? Because there is not one time a hacker will be merciful. They do it with one intent: to maim you and bring your organisation down, she says. Based on their risk assessment, controls can vary, but fundamentally, the goal is to come up with ways of protecting the condentiality, integrity or availability of information. The job is to protect information throughout its life span from creation to disposal. Efrain says that she is awake most nights, glued to her laptop to stay up-to-date on the latest intelligence, including hackers methods. It is so much fun, she says. The pleasure is clear in her voice and eyes. Efrain studied computer science at IAT. Her interest in hacking started in 2010. She was still in college, when at a caf, her machine just turned blue and rebooted itself. The only other person with a laptop in the same caf rose up and left. When she went back online, she started researching on the experience and discovered that the man who had left had hacked into her system. That became her initiation into that world, and indeed the reason it irks her that security, particularly cybercrime, is not taken as seriously as it should be in Kenya. As for her, she has since become an IT whiz kid, discovering and experimenting to feed her curiosity. Most of what she has learnt, she says, has been from other people with similar interests. It takes a lot of team work to be able to do this.
Additional skills to boost your job chances

BY JULIAH KARIMI
karimijuliah@gmail.com Todays workplace can be quite demanding in terms of skill, especially if you want to stand out. In many instances, you have to know a bit of this and that, so that you possess more than the demands of your technical or professional line. It is about nding relevant extra knowledge that adds versatility to your professional or technical knowledge. Lets talk about a few. In todays workplace, the word task could soon be obsolete. It is fast being replaced with project. These days, when you are given a heavy assignment, chances are it will take to form of a project, involving planning, budgeting and execution. The necessary skills to manage a project include schedule and budget management, leadership, business management, and good time management. Some of these skills can be learnt to a certain degree through involvement in college projects. You could, for example, volunteer to help plan a students workshop. You could organise a debate, or a sports outing. You learn a lot by participating in such events.

Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and the rest have become attractive to organisations seeking to reach the masses with messages. They are popular sites frequented by all manner of potential clients or followers, and are therefore good platforms for both outreach and, quite often, honest feedback. The size of your Twitter followers and Facebook friends can tell a lot about the type of person you might be. Some employers will also be interested in your Skype account, just to establish if you are well versed with the technology. So, its not only a plus to know the basic social media platforms but to also be able to tell the difference between Badoo and Slideshare. Employers would love to see if you are exible enough to handle dierent platforms and their uses for a specic need the organisation may have.
Students in business renting out rooms

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 hostels to no avail. People say I am a goon and that is true, he admits. However, I am not a bad goon. My boys and I protect the student leaders and the student population in general. Some of the countrys politicians also ask me to protect their children studying here. They know that when I or my boys walk with them, no one will harass them, says the former economics and sociology double major student. When asked how he supports himself nancially, Masese claims that being a bodyguard for some of the politicians children earns him a lot of money. Some student leaders also oer him money for protection. According to him, therefore, there is a lot of money in campus and so he cannot go hungry. He even brags that the tuck shops oer him stu for free. However, many students say that he threatens the shopkeepers. There are also very many suspended students we see around here. I do not know how they get accommodation while some of the legit students miss out. A man like Masese has been on suspension for such a long time and yet I have seen him around. He even comes to some of the public forums that are held in the school. Since they are public forums I guess he is allowed to attend. Most of us fear him though, says a student at the university. In the aected universities, the bodies responsible for students accommodation wouldnt say much about the practice, only indicating that measures were in place to stop the vice and that those found to be involved are usually punished. However, one security ocer, who preferred not to be named, explained that the eviction of the non-students residents in the university hostels can be a tricky eort because often, the students themselves help the nonstudents to evade security. Sometimes students defend their friends or tenants viciously. Salim Masese has been evicted on more than one occasion and the students cause a lot of chaos over it. And as you know, the students are many so the security ocers get scared and let them be, says the ocer.
Employers are also looking for critical thinkers individuals who is able to quickly interpret data. It is not enough to only analyse the data. It pays when you are able to transform the data into useful information and draw up reports. Being able to sell is a plus. This doesnt necessarily mean selling products. It could be the ability to sell the brand. You have to believe in the company you are working for to do this eectively. A pleasant personality coupled with charm will help you deal with people from all walks of life. Accordingly, employers will be interested if you possess these. This also comes with a show of passion for what you do. It is understandable that a good percentage of people are in professions chosen by their mothers and may be in the job because they need to pay the bills. Still, that doesnt mean you perform your tasks with an attitude. It doesnt mean that you deliver sub-standard projects. It doesnt mean you go about work in a gloomy, sullen mood.

Do you know the cost of your Masters?

BY MAHUL SHAH
mahul@aec-australia.com
o, how much will your Masters degree cost? We live in a very competitive world, where having an edge in ones career helps. One edge many people think of is further education a better or a higher degree. But you need to look at the cost of that degree to assess its real worth in helping you to get a promotion and earn a better salary. Students who are considering advancing their education should know two things: what the degree will cost, including tuition fees, living expenses, and lost wages; and what salary they can expect when they graduate. Education should be seen as an investment. You need
With a low unemployment rate currently, there are good graduate opportunities for international students in Australia
to look at what your returns will be in the long term, and then decide if the investment in education makes sense. For example, if a student is currently earning Sh200,000 per month and decides to go overseas for a Masters degree that is going to cost them Sh3.3 million in tuition fees and living expenses for one year, they need to also consider their lost salary for the 12 months, and agree that the true cost of that degree is at least Sh5.7 million. When they graduate and they are oered a job paying Sh300,000 per month, they have gained an extra monthly income of Sh100,000, thanks to their Masters degree. It would take 57 months to earn back the true nancial cost of the Masters degree. Another way around this calculation would be to see what opportunities exist for you when you graduate. In Australia, many students can apply for a graduate work visa for up to two years when they nish their studies. With a low unemployment rate currently, there are good graduate opportunities for international students in Australia. This means they could earn enough to recover a large chunk of their study expenses and also gain valuable work experience. Canada oers a similar programme

for up to three years when you graduate. But remember that immigration laws can change. Other costs that might not be monetary, but which you need to look at are personal relationships. If you have
a partner and children, what will happen to them when you go for further studies? Some countries, such as Australia again, allow your spouse and dependent children to join you while you are
studying. The country even allows your spouse to work. Some Australian universities take it further to oer free primary education to your children. The other cost could be loss of a job. What happens if you resign for further studies and come back to no job? You would need to look for work when you return, and this might take a while. What would you do during this time to support yourself nancially? Many higher education students choose to study part-time, while keeping their precious jobs and staying with the family. But this requires a tough balance between work, study and family. Emotional stress is not good. For you to succeed in all aspects of life, you need to learn how to manage it. And how long should it take to earn back the nancial cost of a Masters degree? It all depends on the degree you want to complete. A Masters in education is very dierent from an MBA or a Masters in public health. The cost of a business degree should be recovered at the very most in three to four years, a health degree in less than ve years. As for education, allow up to 10 years.

Some words of wisdom to call centres

BY KAHENYA KAMUNYU
Kahenya@ablehq.co.ke eing a call centre agent is a humbling experience, more so in Kenya. The agents sometimes work for long hours in big windowless rooms with drab paint. Some barely receive appropriate training. Then they are frequently let down by their very own support sta in feats of unprofessional delivery, unnecessary creating more customer complaints. Serving clients is often a team activity. One loose cog in that wheel leaves a poor impression about the company. To shield themselves from blame, agents resort to deleting complaints o their emails or social media platforms. They drop calls or block users from reporting future faults using a specic medium. Familiar culprits of poor customer services are telecommunication operators, Internet service providers and pay television operators. Customer service is not complex. The basics freely available online, come down to four simple basic steps.
in Kenya. Many agents are poor listeners. The result is that what would be a ve-minute call stretches to 15 minutes or longer. The customer is forced to repeat their query several times for the agent to understand it. Also, many agents fail to log notes until it is time to escalate the problem to the appropriate resolution agent if required. Many companies fail to recognise that their failed services means they have failed customers. They then fail to explain to their agents the importance of oering a genuine apology to the customer. Usually, it is a hurried clich delivered in a monotone voice without a trace of emotion. Sometimes the agent may have an immediate solution. Without complicating the process, the agent may ask the customer to follow a specic set of instructions to resolve the problem, which are logged as notes on the customer relation management tool, so that if the solution fails, the agent following up knows what was attempted, and therefore how to proceed. Sadly, the logging does not al-
of the action. Again, this is another point of failure. All problems that require future resolution from a dierent agent should be accompanied with a reference number for ease of retrieval. Finally, regardless of the outcome, the customer needs to be shown gratitude for notifying the company of a problem. For one, if it is not an isolated problem, then the company begins procedures to solve a bigger issue for more customers. It is also important to thank the customer for their patience. The opportunity should be used to assure them of a speedy resolution. This simple structure is largely ignored by companies, yet it makes a dierence between a good and a great customer experience. With appropriate training and team spirit, a company could reduce operational costs by simply having a well-trained support team, which communicates with each other frequently and collaborates on building quick solutions.

COMRADE LIFE
This new face of campus partying doesnt impress

BY MERCY NJOKI
mercy100innocent@gmail.com Alcohol can be very deceptive. Once youve had a few, you start to believe that tomorrow will not come. You only see and think of that time and not later. Thats why well kept secrets are revealed in drunkenness; wrong choices made and the most regrettable acts committed at the spur of the moment. Yet no college party qualies to be referred to as a party without alcohol, plus, these days, some sticks of weed. Generally, no food is oered in college parties. The business of the partying is always to drink, smoke, sing, dance and, well, have fun. Drinks, which are mostly in form of spirits, are served with hot water. Before you know it, hands begin to head south and events unfold in full glare of the moon and the lights. Things started on a high note this semester. Parties are being held one after another in dierent universities. Comrades have been ocking party venues in large numbers, given that pockets are not yet empty. Ladies have been busy defying weather by dressing in ways meant to show what they got from their mamas. As for male comrades, well, they come ready to go all the way. Needless to say, parties are mostly held on Friday nights. Usually, students dont have lectures on Saturdays and Sundays, so there is nothing much to worry about when sipping that glass of Kibao Vodka. So, come middle of the night, the party mood hits a crescendo with song and dance. Party goers shake their legs in the best way they know. But then, chances are there will be a ght. Take, for instance, the Talents Night bash. Students from neighbouring universities attend. often, some of them decline to pay entrance fee. before you know it, a ght will have erupted between the hosts and the guests. Whoever wins carries the bragging rights. Local artists are sometimes invited and drinks oered for free or at subsidised prices. The most awaited party is The Fresher Bash. It is held to welcome newly admitted students. Most of the campuses and colleges have held this party by now. If older students would be sincere, they would confess that it was during such a party that they rst drunk alcohol and slept out. It is during this party that First Year students undergo a baptism of re by the older students, especially the men, who would be out to catch a new bird. Its a season of tears for the older girls who get dumped by their boyfriends for a new catch. Ladies have started to ght back, and so in the same party, they too catch a new younger boyfriend to show their boyfriends that it takes two to tango. But by the time the party ends at dawn, many comrades will have lost their phones, money and personal items. Yes, there are some students who attend the parties to steal from their peers. In addition to loss of items, sometimes students sustain injuries. In fact, there are incidents in which some have lost their lives after partying and ghting. We are talking about young lives here, and promising ones for that matter, being stopped through parties that appear to be losing meaning.
