“We need to address factors that may lead us to a state

By Eric Bosire
T

ave urged the Kenyan
Government and opposition
to talk so as to build
confidence in the electoral
system.
While the responsibility for
doing so rests first with
elected and appointed
officials, this is a challenge for
all Kenyans and everyone
should join in good faith,” the
envoys said. In a terse
statement couched in
diplomatic language, the
envoys from US, Canada,
Britain, Norway, Finland,
Australia, Netherlands,
Germany, Sweden,
Switzerland and Denmark
criticised the countrywide
demonstrations against IEBC
by the Opposition.
“Everyone must reject
rhetoric or actions that incite
violence,” said the envoys in
their joint statement.
meanwhile, Raila’s lieutenants
in ODM under the banner of
the ‘Firimbi Movement’
insisted that ‘Occupy IEBC’

It is ow clear that male chau-

“Decisions on questions such
as the future of the IEBC’s
leadership must be broadly
acceptable, achieved through
dialogue, and made in accord
with Kenya’s constitution and
laws,” said the diplomats.
The envoys asked President
Uhuru Kenyatta’s government
to speed up the issuance of
national identity cards to
ensure all Kenyans above 18
years get a chance to
participate in the next General
Election. “All eligible voters
must have the opportunity to
vote.
Also they warned that all
efforts must be made to avert
political strife before, during
and after the 2017 polls.
“It is the shared responsibility
of the Government, the
Opposition, and the people of
Kenya to ensure a free, fair,
and peaceful election in
2017,” they said. In a rare

insecurity
inquiry
in Northern
Kenya
By Dominic Kirui
T he Kenya National
Commission on Human
Rights (KNCHR) today
announced that they will
conduct a public inquiry to
determine the causes, nature
and consequences of conflicts
in the northern region of the
country.
In a statement read out by
Chairperson Ms. Kagwiria
Mbogori, the Commission
pursuant to its constitutive Act,
will conduct a public inquiry
from May 9th to June 10th 2016.
The inquiry will have sittings
and hearings in various centers
in Baringo, West Pokot, East
Pokot and Turkana Counties
and seeks to ensure the
enjoyment of fundamental
freedoms as envisioned in
Chapter Four of the
Constitution of Kenya.
“KNCHR aims to raise public
awareness, promote the debate
on the obligations of the state
as the right to security of the
person and property, draw
national attention to the human
rights situation in the region and
highlight the intersection
between the North Rift
conflict and the threat to
security in other parts of the
country”, She said.
This comes as many questions
still go unanswered as to who
really are the perpetrators of
these conflicts with others
claiming that politicians are
behind the said conflicts,
fueling them by inciting the
locals and turning them against
each other for their own
political gains.
The Kenyan judicial system
has also since been put on the
spot for their reluctance to
prosecute these politicians.
KNCHR therefore has a
challenge to address the same
issue and restore Kenya’s
confidence on these
governmental organs as far as

New tussle for Governor Ruto,
Dp Ruto over IEBTenure
By Our Correspondent
B omet Governor Isaac
Ruto has called for
reforms in the Independent
Electoral and Boundaries
Commission (IEBC) before
the 2017 General Election.
Speaking during Labour Day
celebrations at Bomet Green
Stadium on Sunday, Ruto
stated that a reformed IEBC
would instill confidence in all
parties that are interested in
taking part in the elections.
The governor stated that the
recent uproar by CORD and
a section of church leaders in
the country is justified, saying
there is need for the
commission to heed the call
and vacate office.
“We cannot go into the next
General Election with the
serious issues that have been
raised against IEBC
commissioners. There is an
urgent need for them to leave
office so as to allow room for
a new team of professionals
to preside over the elections.”

Non-concessional borrowing
such as the Eurobond, would
be approached with caution
and would be “limited to
development projects and the
stated ceiling in the Medium

budget summary. In the 2015/

is projected to rise by 18 per

Total interest paid to
external debtors including
China was Sh34.6 billion.
This is projected to increase

One UN Global Coalition campaign
launches in Kenya in June
By Eric Bosire
he One UN Global Coalition campaign that aims to raise
awareness and reduce demand for illegal products will be
launched in Kenya later this month.
Speaking during the Giants Club summit on Saturday when
tonnes of ivory were burned to dissuade poaching, UN
Environment Programme (UNEP) Deputy Executive Director
Ibrahim Thiaw said the Wild for Life Campaign, which will be
launched next month at the United Nations Environment
Assembly in Kenya, unites a range of UN agencies, partners and
UN Goodwill Ambassadors.
He added that people will be making pledges of personal action in
hosted in Angola.
“My own first encounter with an elephant was a carcass. I didn’t
know then, but it was possibly one of the last elephants in
Mauritania. It taught me that extinction is not about the dinosaurs
of the past or the watch-lists for tomorrow: extinction is already
happening, has already happened, in my own lifetime, before my
eyes,” he said.

He added, “What has been made eminently clear at the Giants
Club Summit is that efforts to tackle this crisis are increasingly
backed by a growing public, political and private sector force for
change, and that we, as an international community, are prepared
to face these challenges with an unprecedented level of
commitment, dedication and passion. It will take nothing less to
end this crisis,” he added.
Thiaw said people must remember that wildlife has more value
alive than dead and that wildlife can generate sustainable
revenues to fund the education, healthcare and infrastructure that
will lift people out of poverty and drive economic growth.
“By reconciling social, economic and environmental interests,
Africa can harness its natural heritage to help deliver the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development.”
President Uhuru Kenyatta led a team of leaders in ivory burning
in a show of the government’s stand on poaching.
He urged an end to Africa’s illegal ivory trade, saying it means
death for elephants and tourism. Already, experts have warned
that Africa’s elephants could be extinct in a few decades.

 Because am a Man :
Upclose with award winning Journalist - Kismir
Our Editor Eric Bosire caught up with the United Nations For Population Awareness 2015 Television Producer in
the following Interview. Here is what he had to say regarding various issues
Briefly tell us who you are?
Am Saning’o ole Kismir , Am a young ambitious man, A trained
and AWARD WINNING JOURNALIST, OF UNFPA- UNITED NATIONS FOR
POPULATION TELEVISION CATEGORY, for health and human rights
and HIv & Aids category of 2013 November and 2015
December.
Your Likes and dislikes
I like music and photography for fun. I also like young people
who think out of the box by inventing new things so as to
improve their lives. I hate people who don’t respect someone’s
opinion and professions’ and those who duel much on
negatives.
Also have passion for entrepreneurs’, Hon. Memusi Mp
kajiado Central as his story is such interesting.
What do you hate
I hate Hypocrisy and people who demotivate you and those
who use shortcuts in life to excel. It’s a common among the
youth.
I dislike drunk women? Because it seems rather awkward to
me for a woman to be drunk and I don’t like irresponsible men
and those who don’t love their wives.
I hate politicians coz they are never reliable and they always
take advantage of peoples situation to their benefit.
What’s your typical day starting from the time
Wake up at 6 and by 8 I leave the house, since am a
freelancer, I plan up my schedules to and from Kajiado county
and Nairobi. Then I close my job at around five before I join
friends for recap and refreshment.
Am Working on Several projects like ; On the television
category and soon u will have a glimpse on them.
What are your future plans
Planning to have a vernacular Tv that will broadcast and give
info to the people as this has been my dream plan since my
childhood. Am organizing talks with like-minded people over
the project and currently am training young people on television
production and instill some passion to them.
Also am encouraging and working with others who have
passion in tv regardless of their education and we will get
things going.
\What drives you?
Am driven by Passion and this makes what u want to do in life.
And I do it out of my heart and that makes me happy.
What’s your best moment at job?/life
My best mom in job is when am in the field
shooting i.e. , I was shooting this when were
shooting a film that gave me an award of health
as I shot a naked women in theatre In Eldoret
who was suffering from Fistula, and this gave
me an award and was happy that the woman
successfully was operated and recuperated.
Also there is story we shot in mau forest in 2013
, my director Maurice Oniang’o, got sick and we
were doing the story about ogiek culture and
wedding, the residents gave him herbs and the
director turned to be the story himself. This was
so interesting.
We did the story despite these and I was grateful
that he healed afterwards. But finally, we were
so resilient and our series producer was shocked
at what we did it.
What defines you as a man
My relations to people is good as I am social and
friendly to people and always I expose what I
love doing and share ideas consultatively.
www.africaworldnewskenya.com
Life’s most remarkable moment
My most remarkable moment is back in
MEDEVA the producers of Tazama TV
show, when I won my first award as a
video Photojournalist in 2013 August, coz I
never thought that the story will give me
an award. Since I had heard of the
selection and I believed that this was a
long process that was always biased.
We were in the same category of like
more than 80 in my category all
from established media houses and
I never thought that I could be
the finalist. That made me happy
up to now.
I remember when I did the HIv
aids story and I was sure I
could win the story out of it
and also as I beat several
established Tv journalists to
win the Population UNFPA
Television category of 2015
December. This has lifted
me up upto now.
And in life is when I met
my beautiful wife Sanaipei
back in 2013, she is always
the best because she
inspires me a lot. My
worst subject in high
school ie sciences and
mathematics turned out to
Saning’o Ole Kismir, with one of the 2015 UNFPA Trophie that he won as

ehave respect for each other Winner during the awards Photo: Kismirphotos
Your regrets having done or missed at one point in life
Its when I left Hapa kule and Househelps of Kawangware – Proten studios crew in 2014. I
respect what they were doing and thought that moving out to join the Kajiado county government
was a best choice, but unfortunately it turned out to be my worst . I worked for one year after lots
of frustrations as a producer and most of my colleagues were reluctant on their jobs and these
frustrated me. I had to leave them also.
What do u think a man or woman be like?
Should be god fearing and committed to the Lord, be responsible and friendly. He should use all
means possible to make sure that his or her dreams come true no matter how long it takes him or her
to achieve. Also women should avoid drinking alcohol at all costs.
Your favorite book or movie?
I usually like watching movies- and my best is; Let it shine directed by
Trevor Jackson and Paul hoen- from the Us which promotes music.
The story is so interesting and its encouraging you should watch it. Never
allow someone to determine your future. And I usually don’t much but I
like entertainment news and I read the Nairobian
How do you chill out?
I usually spend and like having fun with my wife at home or anywhere that
we might decide to go. And I don’t like football and I could love to
watch Liverpool and Chelsea. Locally I hate how they have managed the
local game. Hope it will turn out to be the better on day.
Final word to all out there
Just prove to the world that they are capable of doing what they do. And
also avoid any kind of drugs and alcohol hen you will succeed. Never
allow anyone to choose for you what you want to be.
And also for parents should listen to their children and enhance their
dreams so as to make their countries working nations.
