that this could be coming

“We have unveiled the

Mr Wamae.
However, retail prices have
remained at Sh45 for half a litre
of processed milk in most retail
outlets while a similar amount of
long life milk has been retailing
at Sh50.
A week ago, Brookside Dairy
announced it would effect a Sh5

from the top slot in his native country,

on which to develop his brand of
media-backed politics.
His new party already has a name
— Gelato Con Amore (the GCA)
which, translated literally means Ice
Cream with Love, but is an old Italian
metaphor for enjoying the good life or,
as they say in Rome, La Dolce Vita.

to test the temperature on behalf of
the new party and to distribute free
Cornettos (a brand of ice cream) to
the crowds she hopes will greet her.
She said last night: “It is true I am

She added: “Once before, at a time
of great stress after many big bung-
bunga parties I gave him my support
— and he is still wearing it!”
She continued: “Together we shall
all eat the ice cream with love.”
Ruby refused to give details of the
new party’s political platform but
observers indicated that it might
be expected to take a liberal view
of day-long drinking and late night
entertainment.
As a symbolic gesture it was also
expected to press for the abolition
of VAT on ice cream and all forms
of pasta.
News that a new party was immi-

the Coast, creating enthusiastic
support from a number of ice cream
manufacturers who expect a big boost
to their businesses, but also protests
from religious leaders across the ecu-

must stop.
They said they were concerned
about the moral impact on local youth

ready supply of drugs, alcohol and

eager to party with them at every
level.

P

the post-election violence, a
witness said yesterday.
The 14th witness told the
ICC yesterday that during

The witness who started
testifying yesterday in the

by pigs and dogs.

he made the discovery while

of picking the bodies,” he said
while responding to queries

The roadblocks, he said,
were being manned by Kalen-
jin youths, who asked him to
identify himself. He said he

could have easily known he

been killed just like another
whose body was not far away
from where they were.
“I told them my ID had
been stolen… they let me
pass,” he said.
Earlier on, the witness said
Kalenjin youths, clad in red
shukas, armed with traditional
weapons, and part of whose
faces were painted with red
soil, burnt houses belonging
to the Kikuyus after the 2007
election.
Under the cover of darkness
in some instances, the witness
said the youths he estimated
to have been between 50 and
100, moved from one home to
another, only targeting those
belonging to Kikuyus.
Had no hands
They doused the houses
with either petrol or paraffin
and razed them.
As a result, one person, a
Kikuyu identified as Number
Four, was killed at a location
given the number Six. The wit-
ness said, the man, a Kikuyu
was slashed with a panga. His
body, which was discovered
days later, had no hands.
This, according to the
witness, was done to punish
Kikuyus for not supporting
ODM during the elections.
“The Kalenjin youths were
armed with pangas, rungus
and arrows. We fought them
with stones to stop them from
burning houses,” he said.
The hearing continues.

Ruto to take charge for two weeks
BY NATION REPORTER
The Deputy President will
be left in charge of the coun-
try for the next two weeks as
the President embarks on a
foreign trip.
President Kenyatta will visit
Belgium, Rwanda, Turkey and
Britain in that order.
Deputy President William
Ruto will take over a day after
his trial for crimes against
humanity at the International
Criminal Court in The Hague
reopened.
Mr Kenyatta’s case is
scheduled to begin in Octo-
ber at the request of the ICC
prosecutor, but the President
has asked the court to throw
it out altogether.
The President’s 14-day
whirlwind tour is largely arising
from his role as the chairman
of the East African Community
(EAC), but it could also be a
sign of warming diplomatic
relations between the Jubilee
administration on the one hand
and the European Union and
Britain on the other.
Mr Kenyatta’s prolonged
absence — the longest by any
Kenyan President since inde-
pendence — means that Mr
Ruto will step in to perform

as provided for by the Consti-

fered a major setback yesterday after
judges threw it out.
Instead, they said his trial should
open on October 7 and also ordered
the government to release his finan-
cial records to International Criminal
Court Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.
Ms Bensouda had asked the court to
postpone the case indefinitely and to
give her time to gather more evidence,
a request which was declined.
The judges ordered her to send
a fresh request to Kenya for the
information she is seeking on Mr
Kenyatta’s wealth.
Judges Kuniko Ozaki, Robert Fremr
and Geoffrey Henderson warned the
government against using delaying
tactics in producing the evidence
requested by the prosecutor, saying
two years is a long period.
Updated request
“The Prosecution is directed to,
within two weeks of the date of this
decision, provide the Kenyan Govern-
ment with an updated request, which
is based upon the Records Request
and is tailored to reflect the items
that remain of specific relevance to
the charges,” they ruled.
They directed the government, in
a period of two weeks, to inform the
prosecutor of any problems stopping
them from providing the President’s
wealth records.
To ensure this happens, they
directed the prosecutor and the gov-
ernment to find options within the
Constitution and other pieces of law
which will make it possible for the
records to be submitted.
Ms Bensouda and the government
were urged to ensure the process is
executed “in good faith” to ensure
that any difficulties that may arise
are resolved without delay.
“In the event of genuine and ir-
reconcilable differences between
the Prosecution and the Kenyan
Government, or any matter otherwise
requiring resolution, the Chamber
stresses that it is to be promptly
seized of the matter” they said.
The Chamber now wants to be up-

been set for February 5.

How Uhuru found himself

in trouble with Hague court
BY NATION REPORTER
President Kenyatta had
been charged alongside two
other prominent Kenyans,
all accused of crimes against
humanity, including murder,
forcible transfer of population,
rape and persecution.
They were former Police
Commissioner Hussein Ali and
former Head of Public Service
Francis Muthaura, whose cases
were later on dropped by the
International Criminal Court
judges.
Mr Muthaura was removed
from the list of the post-elec-
tion violence suspects after
a key witness withdrew part
of a statement that directly
linked him to crimes against
humanity.
ICC chief prosecutor
Fatou Bensouda said: “The
key witness recanted part of
his statement that linked Mr
Muthaura directly to the crime
after receiving a bribe.”
She said the witness against
Mr Muthaura had either been
killed or had died while also ac-
cusing the Kenyan government
of not living up to their public
pledges to fully cooperate with
the court in its investigations
of the violence that left more
than 1000 people dead.
“We have no other choice but
to withdraw the charges against
Mr Muthaura,” she said.
As for the former Police
Commissioner, his case was
not confirmed by the pre-trial
chamber judges that included
Ekaterina Trendafilova, Cuno
Tarfusser and Hans-Peter
Kaul.
The pre-trial chamber found
that the evidence presented
against Mr Ali did not provide
substantial grounds to believe
that the Kenya Police partici-
pated in the attack in or around
Nakuru and Naivasha.
Since Mr Ali was charged
with contributing to the crimes
through the Kenya Police, the
chamber declined to confirm
the charges against him.
In the other Kenyan case
before the ICC, the pre-trial
judges also declined to confirm
all of the charges that had been
levelled against former Cabinet
minister Henry Kosgey, citing
insufficient prosecution evi-
dence to sustain a full trial.
However, the charges against
Mr Kosgey’s two co-accused
that included Deputy Presi-
dent William Ruto and former
broadcaster Joshua arap Sang
were confirmed.
The prosecution had put for-
ward a case alleging that Mr
Kosgey together with Mr Ruto
and Mr Sang were members
of a network that organised
violence in Kenya.
Mr Kosgey’s lawyers however
presented his defence during
the hearings and denied that
he was a member of any illicit
network, if indeed such a net-
work existed.
They argued that: “ The
prosecution’s case against Mr
Kosgey rests entirely on a sin-
gle anonymous witness, known
only as witness 6. This witness
claims that Kosgey attended
planning meetings of the al-
leged network. Aside from
the statement of witness 6,
the prosecution has no other
evidence or proof of Kosgey’s
involvement in the planning of
any violence.”

and their critics over their support
for devolved government.
The leaders have been accused
the government of failing to do
enough to support devolution,
but the latter has defended itself,
saying, it has in fact exceeded con-
stitutional expectations.
Focus will now turn to how the
county bosses have performed in
their first year in office.
An analysis by the Nation team
has established that County As-
semblies have passed few Bills
since they were inaugurated.
A speaker in one of the counties
blamed the Executive for the few
Bills passed, saying, governors
only forwarded Bills they regard
as important for enactment.
Legislative proposals
“Bills originate as legislative
proposals from the Executive,
which are then published and
enacted by the Assembly.
The few proposals are limited to
those the Executive feels are im-
portant and in most cases, those
which result in the generation of
more money,” the Speaker who
sought anonymity said in an
interview at the weekend.

Emergency lines not

The emergency call num-

President Kenyatta are not
functional, a court heard
yesterday.
Mr Ishmael Nguring’a,
a lawyer, said the police
project commissioned to
handle emergencies was
“designed to pull a show
and a horrible joke on the
national security of every
Kenyan citizen.”
“The state bears the
greatest responsibility
in protecting its citizen.
However this has not been
the case as the emergency
numbers launched last
year don’t even work,” Mr
Nguring’a said.
Propagating threats

handle emergency calls are

Five MPs at the weekend

for failing to deal with rising inse-

Speaking separately, MPs
Alice Ng’ang’a (Thika Town),
Esther Gathogo (Ruiru), Munyua
Waititu (Juja), Ken Okoth (Kibra)
and Florence Mutua(Women Rep,

Ms Ng’ang’a, Ms Gathogo and
Mr Waititu who spoke at Kari-

Mr Waititu supported the shoot-

Only a few public service vehicles
have been fixed with digital speed
governors even as new transport
regulations take force today.
At the same time, matatu owners have
decried the high cost of the gadget,
which is now retailing at between
Sh35,000 and Sh45,000.
According to the Director of Motor
Vehicle Inspection, Mr Gerald Wangai
(left), only 6,653 vehicles had been
inspected as of Saturday last week
countrywide against a target of more
than 100,000.
He also revealed that about 21,000
units of digital speed governors had
been imported by the 16 suppli-
ers cleared by the Kenya Bureau of
Standards. “Only two vehicles have
been inspected in Garissa,” he said,
adding that many matatus risked
being locked out of business today for
failing to comply.
“Compliance was very low at first as
some people thought the idea will not
work, but a few days ago we have had a
lot of vehicles to inspect,” he said and la-
mented that the matatu operators rushed
to fix the gadget at the last minute.
Mr Wangai said the workshop was
inspecting as many as 200 vehicles
per day, but aimed to clear 500 yes-
terday.
Long queues of matatus, commer-
cial vehicles and lorries stretched on
Likoni, Enterprise and Lunga Lunga
roads as they waited to be fitted with the
gadgets at the inspectorate’s Industrial
Area workshop.
“We may not clear everybody today
but we are doing our best to inspect as
many vehicles as possible,” he added.

Give all a fair chance

to enrol for final exam
P
upils who have spent eight years in school
preparing to sit for their Kenya National
Certificate of Primary Education examination
and move on to the next stage must be given every
opportunity to do so.
This is why it is disheartening to hear that some
of them risk missing their exam due to a technical
hitch they have no control over.
A vital stage in examinations is registration. The
Kenya National Examinations Council requires
schools to register online, which ideally, makes it
easier than the old manual system.
However, there have been complaints that since
the beginning of this year’s registration of both
the KCPE and Kenya Certificate of Secondary
Education (KCSE) exam candidates, the Knec’s
online system has malfunctioned.
And it is perhaps in appreciation of this problem
that the examination council has agreed to extend
the deadline for the KCSE candidates by a week.
However, Knec has not extended this
magnanimity to would-be KCPE candidates, who,
by far, outnumber their senior counterparts.
Though the exams council must work within
certain deadlines to properly prepare for and
administer both national examinations, it would be
totally unfair to lock out some young people over a
problem that squarely falls within its own ambit. We
must not punish candidates for technical failures POACHING CRISIS | Macharia Gaitho

vague allusions to unofficial

That self-preservation
might have been a classic
example of what ails
this land. It’s always
about refusing to take
responsibility, evading
scrutiny and blaming all
criticism, however genuine,
on some dark external
powers; the old Moi-era
game of ‘foreign masters’,
‘enemies of development’,
and other scapegoats
manufactured to make us
rally round our own.
No one can honestly
dispute now that rhino and
elephant are being killed
at record levels to satisfy
the insatiable appetite for
their tusks and horns in
China and other parts of the
Far East. There are many
Kenyans who will say they
don’t care if all the animals
are wiped out to free the
land for the landless and for
growing food.
However, we are in the
age of terrorism. Our
concern should be that
we are allowing heavily
armed brigands to roam
unchallenged across Kenya
killing all the game they
need, and giving them
been that the international
cartels controlling the trade
have found our airports and
seaports convenient points
for transshipping ivory and
rhino horn poached as far
afield as South Africa and
West Africa.
You might still say that
you don’t care, but give a
thought to the fact that the
international criminal gangs
controlling the trade have
been proven to have direct
links with the merchants of
death who deal in narcotic
drugs and illegal arms.
Ultimately, those tri-evils
– poaching, narcotics and
illicit arms – have direct
connections to the arming
and financing of terrorism.
Therefore when a
shopping mall in Nairobi
or a church in Mombasa is
attacked by terrorists, we
must be conscious that those
murderous deeds are aided
and abetted by business
and political merchants in
the corridors of power who
run the poaching gangs,
provide free passage for
the contraband, or prefer
to look the other way
when employed to protect
our wildlife or ensure our
national security.

pollution is carcinogenic.
According to a recent article
in the journal, Nature Reviews
by researchers from the
University of Sao Paulo, Brazil,
there is a strong association
between lung cancer and
prolonged exposure to
air pollution, especially
particulate matter. In fact the
risk of lung cancer rises with
increasing exposure to higher
levels of particulate matter.
Particulate matter is a
major component of outdoor
air pollution and is widely
used as a health relevant
indicator of air quality. Fine
particles, usually referred to
as PM2.5 are a major concern.
Smoke billows out from a road
construction site in Eldoret
Atmospheric particles are
classified according to their
size from 0.005 micron (µm)
to 100 µm in diameter.
PM2.5 refers to particles
with an aerodynamic diameter
less than 2.5 µm. The diameter
of the average human hair
is 70 µm, which is about 30
times bigger than the largest
fine particle.
Particles come in many
sizes and shapes and can be
made up of different types
of chemicals. The smaller
the particle, the more likely
it is to penetrate deep into a
person’s respiratory system, or
get absorbed directly into the
bloodstream.
By 2050, exposure to
outdoor air pollution is
expected to become the
top environmental cause of
premature death globally.
This is more likely to
be observed in developing
countries where there is
increasing industrialisation
and growth of urban areas
combined with a lack of air
quality standards.
While many developed
countries in North America
and Europe have air
monitoring programmes,
quality guidelines, and
legislation aimed at mitigating
pollution, this is not the case
in many African countries.
Yet Africa has the fastest
growing population in the
world, and by 2050, it is
estimated that 60 per cent of
Africans will be living in cities.
Urban centres are likely to
combine higher concentrations
of atmospheric pollutants and
an increase in the number of
exposed people.
Although few studies
have examined the levels of
particulate matter in urban
areas across the continent,
data indicates there should
be cause for concern. In
Nairobi, teams of students and
researchers from New York
City’s Columbia University,
the University of Nairobi and

Agriculture and Technology

W
hen I received two shots of the
tetanus vaccine in the second
and third trimesters of my
pregnancy last year, it wasn’t meant to be
a population control measure.
Today, Cardinal John Njue warns that it
is a family planning dosage administered
to women in selected districts, yet the only
effect of the tetanus injection, to me, was a
sore left arm.
Cardinal Njue’s statement is a medical
myth that could hurt Kenyans, although it
must be like music in the ears of the anti-
family planning crusaders.
Sadly, we live in a society that is very
vulnerable to myths that we tend to
believe more than actual evidence.
A myth is defined as a widely held,
but false belief or idea, which is too
readily accepted as an absolute truth.
For instance, this particular myth is
being propagated as a population control
measure because it is being administered
to women aged between 14 and 47 years.
That particular age bracket is the
reproductive age, thus the claims by
Cardinal Njue appear to contain more
truth than the fiction they actually are.
The remarks may reverse the gains made
in reducing the number of newborn
deaths due to tetanus infections.
Health myths can also be traced to
developed countries where a similar myth
gained notoriety to the effect that the

measles vaccine causes autism. This led
to parents exposing their children to the
dangerous virus.
That such myths persist is a clear
indicator of their deleterious effects on
health systems and practice. Obstetrician
and gynaecologist Simon Kigondu says
the simplest and most effective method of
preventing tetanus in newborns is to give
two doses of Tetanus Toxoid to first-time
mothers, and only one injection during
subsequent pregnancies.
According to Dr Kigondu, the tetanus
injection is important especially in a
country where half of the births occur at
home under traditional birth attendants.
For those who deliver in hospitals, they
could get exposed to environments that
encourage the bacteria, which enter the
body through cuts, or through the wounds
caused when the umbilical cord is cut.
Infants infected with tetanus develop
muscle spasms and convulsions, and
have difficulty swallowing. Even with
treatment, many infants do not survive
the complications from this disease.
“When you are immunised with a
tetanus shot, the antibodies pass through
the placenta, so your immunity passes to
your infant,” Dr Kigondu says.
Kenya is among 51 countries that have
not contained maternal and neonatal
tetanus, and this has made the division
of Vaccines and Immunisation in the
Ministry of Health to develop a tetanus
elimination strategy, which will reduce
the child mortality rate by two thirds and
maternal mortality by 75 per cent by 2015.
Dr Lukoye Atwoli, a psychiatrist, says
such medical myths attain the power of
truth through transmission when uttered
by authority figures like religious leaders,
parents, teachers or even older friends
“The longer the myth is held as true,
the more difficult it is to debunk it and
replace it with the actual explanation,” he
says.
“Myths are difficult to extinguish
because humans are wired to believe stuff
that is believed by the majority around
them,” the psychiatrist notes.
I weep for the children we will lose due
to such remarks.

30,000 squatters to be settled as MP brokers deal with landlords

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
More than 30,000 squatters in
Nyali, Mombasa, are to be settled
following an agreement with land-
owners.
Nyali MP Mr Hezron Awiti Bollo
(right) has announced that landlords
and representatives of the squatters
had reached agreements and signed
memorandums of understanding for
the settlement programme.
Since last year, the MP has been
engaging land owners on how to
settle the squatters, some of whom
have occupied plots for more than
50 years.
“More than eight landlords have
agreed to give their land for the pur-
pose of settling squatters,” the MP
said yesterday at Khadijah Primary
School in Nyali.
“We want to end this problem once
and for all.”
The MP said he wanted his county
to set an example for the rest of the
coastal constituencies where landless-
ness prevail.
The National Land Commission
has supported the plan. The com-
mission’s chairman Muhammad
Swazuri said the agency had been
fully involved.
Meetings were held at Kwam-
kikuyu, Kongowea Primary School,
Mombasa show ground and other
places where the landlords and
squatters’ representatives signed
agreements, according to the Nyali
MP.
Mr Awiti said President Uhuru
Kenyatta had sanctioned the plan
and promised that the government
would release funds to buy the iden-
tified plots.
During his trips to the coast, the
President promised to resolve the
land problem in the region.
Meanwhile, Mombasa Governor
Ali Hassan Joho and Senator Has-
san Omar have vowed to recover all
public land that was grabbed.
Speaking at Old Town at the week-
end, they said they had launched a
campaign to grabbed property to
public use.

A
n MP was robbed by
three armed men as he
left his office and en-
tered his car at the weekend.
Two mobile phones, a dig-
ital camera and cash — all
valued at Sh619,000 — were
stolen from Mvita legislator
Abdullswamad Nassir in the
Saturday morning attack.
Mr Nassir said the 12.10am
robbery immediately he left
his Radio Rahman office, had
“shaken and traumatised”
him.
“I don’t want to speculate
over what happened. It seems
the gangsters were waiting.
Before I could turn the igni-
tion key, they appeared from
nowhere and took the key as
one of them placed his cocked
pistol on my head,” he said.
The other two, he said,
frisked him and emptied his
shirt and trouser pockets be-
fore taking the camera from the
car. In barely two minutes, they
were gone.
“In the little conversation
we had, they only asked me
about my career, and went
ahead to take all my effects
plus my Parliamentary pass
card. I will have to apply for a
new one,” he said at his newly
opened Majengo-ya-Sega CDF
office.
Using a spare key, the MP
drove to Nyali Police Station
where he made a report and
left the car to be dusted for
finger prints.
His attackers according to
him, were armed with two
pistols and an AK47 rifle and
disappeared in the nearby
sprawling Kongowea Village.
Mr Nassir asked Kenyans
to embrace the Nyumba Kumi
concept saying it would help in
combating crime.
He advised those who may
be carjacked not to try to be
heroes or heroines by “acting
stupid” when at the hands of
armed criminals.
Asked why he had no body-
guard, Mr Nassir said although
he was entitled to one, he did
not see the need to have secu-
rity around as he was “a man
of the people”.
“My resolve is clear and I
am still of the opinion that I be
without a bodyguard, this rob-
bery notwithstanding,” he said
and told his constituents not
to panic or listen to rumours
doing the rounds.
But while the MP refused
to speculate over the incident,
some supporters told the Na-
tion on Sunday afternoon that
they suspected politics to be
behind the attack.
“I categorically say that
was not a normal robbery but
a political attack meant to in-
timidate the MP and stop him
from speaking his mind,” one
supporter said.
To beef up security, Mr Nas-
sir called for the installation of
CCTV surveillance at bridges,
ferries, the CBD and estates.

A judge yesterday declined to
stop the appointment of George
Aladwa to head the Nairobi Water

Mr Justice David Majanja refused
to grant an order to stop the ap-

Businessman Balkrishna Ramji
Devani challenged the appointment
in court, arguing that Mr Aladwa
was not a man of integrity.
He claimed the former Nairobi

him and his wife of Sh10 million in

Mr Devani alleged that in 2011,
Mr Aladwa falsely pretended that

KIRINYAGA | Governors say senators cannot probe their fund use
County bosses dismiss
Senate summon powers
House accused of
taking over ward
reps mandate to
investigate finances
BY GEORGE MUNENE
@Rubinga2
gamunene@yahoo.com
T
he Senate has no powers
to summon governors
on financial related
issues, three judges at the
Kerugoya High court heard
yesterday.
Lawyers representing the
Council of Governors dis-
missed an attempt by the
Senate to summon county
bosses for interrogation on
financial management in their
counties as unconstitutional.
They told Justices Cecilia
Githua, Hedwig Ong’udi and
Boaz Olao that the Constitu-
tion does not empower the
Senate to question the gover-
nors on how funds have been
spent in their counties.
“Mandate to interrogate
the governors on matters
concerning funds is vested on
county assemblies but not the
Senate,” lawyer Ahmednassir
Abdullahi told the judges.
Attempts by the Senate to
summon governors, Mr Ab-
dullahi said was an assault
on devolution.
The lawyers said if the
Senate was not tamed by the
court, it would uproot a very
important pillar of “our con-
stitutional dispensation.”
PETITION
What county
chiefs want
nGovernors want a per-
manent injunction to be
issued against the Senate
which claims it has been
mandated to question the
county bosses.
nThey want the court to
issue permanent orders
against the Senate bar-
ring it from summoning
the governors to explain
how they spend funds al-
located to them.
They submitted that the
court had the jurisdiction to
interpret the law and inter-
vene when the Constitution
is breached.
“Even if there is separation
of powers when lawmakers
breach the Constitution, the
court has powers to intervene
and issue injunctions,” lawyer
Peter Wanyama said.
He said arguments that
courts have no powers to issue
injunctions on the Senate or
any other legislative body
when they do not follow the
Constitution were just politi-
cal statements which hold no
water.
Mr Wanyama added it was
illogical and illegal for the Sen-
ate to purport that it had legal
authority to call governors for
questioning.
The lawyers were submit-
ting in a petition in which
the Council of Governors are
seeking to have the Senate be
restrained from summoning
county bosses to explain how
they spend funds allocated to
them.
In response, lead judge
Ong’udi said judgement will
be delivered on April 16.

Egypt sets presidential election
date as Brotherhood rejects Sisi
Top candidate accused
of having staged coup
against country’s first
freely elected leader
BY HAITHAM EL-TABEI
CAIRO, Monday
E
gypt announced a presidential
election for May 26-27, a poll
likely to be swept by the re-
tired army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi
who deposed the Islamist president
in July.
Field Marshal Sisi is expected to
win the vote riding on a wave of
popularity for having removed the
divisive president Mohamed Morsy
after mass protests demanding his
resignation.
The only other main candidate is
leftwing politician Hamdeen Sabbahi,
who came third in the 2012 election
that Morsi won. The new president
will be announced by June 26 at the
latest.
The election would go into a
second round on June 16-17 if there
was no outright winner, but that
outcome seems unlikely given Sisi’s
popularity and the absence of serious
contenders.
The commission said registration
of candidates would open on Monday
and run until April 20, and campaign-
ing from May 3-23.
The announcement of the dates by
electoral chief Ashraf al-Asy came after
Field Marshal Sisi resigned as defence
minister and army commander last
week to contest the election, pledging
to eradicate “terrorism”.
Egypt has been rocked by often
violent protests and a spate of mili-
tant attacks which have killed almost
500 people, mostly policemen and
soldiers, the government says.
Morsy’s Muslim Brotherhood,
blacklisted as a “terrorist organi-
sation”, has said there can be no

Rebel assault in South Sudan kills 36 civilians

JUBA, Monday
At least 36 civilians have been killed
and 31 others injured in a rebel assault
on Duk County in South Sudan’s vast
and restive Jonglei State, officials said
today.
County Commissioner Elijah Moch-
nom Wuor said the victims met their
fate in a fierce attack on Duk Padiet
village at the end of last week.
“We have now confirmed 36 people
against Egypt’s first freely elected and

The Islamists have vowed to
continue protests, which along with
persistent militancy, threaten to fur-

battered economy.
At least 1,400 people, mostly Is-
lamists, have been killed in a police
crackdown on street protests, accord-
ing to Amnesty International.
On Sunday, a student was killed at
Al-Azhar university in Cairo, a pres-
tigious seat of Sunni Islamic learning,
in clashes between protesters and se-

reported on its website.
The student’s death comes two

Egyptian journalist, were killed in
clashes between Islamists and po-
lice in Cairo.

Nigeria beefs
up security
as 21 killed in
jailbreak
ABUJA, Monday
Security was beefed up around
the secret police headquarters in
Nigeria’s capital city Abuja today,
following a jailbreak attempt by
suspected members of the Boko
Haram.
Nigeria’s secret police faced
questions today about how 21
detainees were killed during an
attempted jailbreak from their
headquarters.
A security formation comprising
of armed-to-the-teeth mobile
policemen, soldiers and other anti-
crime agents in plain cloths had
been deployed to cordon off the
roads leading to the headquarters
of the secret police, sources told
Xinhua.
The jailbreak was attempted
early Sunday when the inmates’
handlers went to feed them,
spokesperson of the Department
of State Security (DSS) Marilyn
Ogar said in Abuja, adding 18
insurgents were killed in a show
of force by the security operatives
on guard.
“For now, this is no-go area for
everyone. Although everything
is calm right now, the security
operatives have not tolerated
any loitering around this area
since that Sunday incident,”
said Ademola Adegbuyi, a public
relations consultant who lives in
Asokoro, a highbrow area where
the secret police headquarters and
detention facility is located.
“The security men are fierce-
looking but friendly, if you
approach them. There is traffic
gridlock in the area because
the security men have been
scrutinizing the identities of all
passersby or road users,” said
Adegbuyi, adding the adjoining
roads were also cordoned off by
the security operatives on duty.
Roads leading to Aso Villa,
Nigeria’s presidential palace, had
also been taken over by security
operatives. (Xinhua)

found that he unduly benefit-

The ombudsman said the
$23 million spent on the
renovations at Mr Zuma’s
country homestead was ex-
cessive and ordered him to
repay some of the costs. But
in his first public reaction to
the damning report released 11

in which he is seeking re-elec-
tion in Cape Town’s Gugulethu

The cost of the refurbish-
ments, which include a helipad,
a swimming pool and even a
chicken coop, have ballooned
to $23 million from the initial
estimate of 65 million rand ($6
million) in 2009.

MASSIVE | ‘This is an extraordinarily difficult exercise. We are searching a vast area of ocean’
Evidence shows plane
lost: Australian PM
About 100 personnel on board
surveillance aircraft plus 1,000 on
ships are involved in the search
PERTH, Monday
A
ll evidence points to
Malaysia Airlines Flight
MH370 being lost in the
remote Indian Ocean, Australian
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said
Monday, backing his Malaysian
counterpart’s view that the plane
crashed.
The flight from Kuala Lumpur
to Beijing vanished on March 8
carrying 239 passengers and
crew, but more than three
weeks later no wreckage has
been found.
Many relatives of those on
board have been incensed at the
announcement on March 24 by
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib
Razak that — based on detailed
analysis of satellite data — the
plane could be presumed lost
at sea.
But Mr Abbott said he agreed
with Najib’s conclusions.
“The accumulation of evidence
is that the aircraft has been lost
and it has been lost somewhere
in the south of the Indian Ocean,”
he told reporters at the Perth
military base coordinating the
search.
“That’s the absolutely over-
whelming wave of evidence and
I think that Prime Minister Najib
Razak was perfectly entitled to
come to that conclusion, and I
think once that conclusion had
been arrived at, it was his duty to
make that conclusion public.”
Australia is coordinating the
international hunt for the miss-
ing Boeing 777, which involves
about 100 personnel searching
from onboard surveillance air-
craft and 1,000 sailors in ships
in or near the search zone.
“This is an extraordinarly dif-
ficult exercise. We are searching
a vast area of ocean and we are
working on quite limited infor-
mation,” Mr Abbott said.
“Nevertheless, the best brains
in the world are applying them-
selves to this task, all of the
technological mastery that we
have is being applied and brought
to bear here. If this mystery is
solvable, we will solve it. But I
don’t want to underestimate just
how difficult it is.”

daughter of MH370’s pilot has
accused a British tabloid of

that family members described

backgrounds of Zaharie and his

ance of the Malaysia Airlines

Elton John

WASHINGTON, Monday
Pop icon Elton John says he will
tie the knot with partner David Fur-

legalized gay marriage.
The top-selling artist told NBC’s

quietly.”
“But we will do it and it will
be a joyous occasion,” Mr John
added. The couple, who have two
children together, entered into a
civil partnership in 2005.
A historic law legalising same-
sex marriage took effect in England
and Wales on Saturday, the final
stage in the long fight for legal
equality for gays and lesbians.
Civil partnerships have been
legal there since 2005.
“I’m very proud of Britain and
the laws that we’ve seen come
into existence since we’ve been
together,” John said in excerpts of
the interview set to air Monday.
“For this legislation to come
through is joyous, and we should
celebrate it. We shouldn’t just
say, ‘Oh, well we have a civil
partnership. We’re not going to
bother to get married.’ We will
get married.”

view that an intimate ceremony
would take place in May. (AFP)

Ex-Israel PM convicted of bribery Looted ancient burial

Ehud TEL AVIV, Monday

A
Tel Aviv court today
was named found former premier
Ehud Olmert guilty of
the key bribery linked to a Jerusalem
property development, in one of
suspect the worst corruption scandals in
in the Israeli history.
At a lengthy hearing in Tel

affair over by Judge David Rosen, Mr
Olmert was convicted on two
counts of bribery, making him
the first former premier to be
convicted of the offence.
The trial, which included 16
defendants and took place over
two years, was linked to the
construction of the massive
Holyland residential complex
when Mr Olmert served as the
city’s mayor.
In 2010, Mr Olmert was
named the key suspect in the
so-called Holyland affair on
suspicion that he received hun-
dreds of thousands of shekels
for helping developers get the
construction project past various
legal and planning obstacles.
The towering construction
project, which dominates the
city’s skyline, is seen as a major
blot on the landscape and widely
reviled as a symbol of high-level
corruption.
“We’re talking about corrupt

According to the verdict,
excerpts of which were seen

received bribes to the tune of
560,000 shekels (Ksh13m) at the
current exchange rate), most of
which was given to his brother
Yossi by a middleman who later
turned state’s witness.
“The state‘s witness bought

In November last year,
President Kenyatta gave public
institutions up to April 1 to have

Treasury Cabinet Secretary
Henry Rotich said the Act that
would provide the legal bases
for the overhaul of payments
in the public sector has just
been effected, but regulations
to guide its implementation are

The migration to electronic

Group wants yuMobile staff interests secured

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
An association wants the interests of
yuMobile employees and dealers protected
before completion of a planned takeover by
Safaricom and Airtel.
Information Communication and Technol-
ogy Association of Kenya (Ictak), said the
transaction should be above board.
Giant mobile service provider Safaricom
and its rival Airtel have applied to buy
yuMobile for a reported combined value
of Sh8.65 billion, which will see the latter
acquire subscribers while the former will
retain the infrastructure.
Ictak secretary-general Kamotho Njenga,
however, said the buyout “is not a simple
thing” as it would require very serious
consultations with stakeholders to ensure
yuMobile does not exit with liabilities.
“The Communication Commission of
Kenya (CCK) has the sole mandate to
safeguard the welfare of stakeholders in
the telecommunication sector,” Mr Njenga
said.
Moving exiting firm’s subscribers to an-
other without properly shielding them was
unfair, he noted.
“The yu subscribers opted to use the firm’s
services while they well knew that Airtel ex-
isted and, therefore, forcing them to become
Airtel subscribers is very unfair and goes
against the contract they had entered with
the company,” he argued.
Mr Njenga told the Nation yesterday that
locals who own yuMobile shops as well as
subscribers who had bought airtime were
likely to lose.
He said the takeover would also portray
a bad image about the ICT sector in Kenya
to the outside world as it would be seen as
“very hostile and hard to penetrate”.

Uhuru urges India to invest in Kenya’s health sector ENERGY | Many still prefer charcoal

BY NATION REPORTER
Kenya is courting Indian in-
vestors to pump their money
into the local health sector.
President Kenyatta said the
market was ready given that a
large number of patients opt for
complicated medical services
abroad due to reliability and
affordability.
“I want to see investors from
India working together with
the government in expanding
special medical services,” said
the president.
He spoke while bidding
farewell to outgoing Indian
High Commissioner to Kenya
Sibabrata Tripathi at State
House, Nairobi yesterday.
East Africa residents have
for long been making medical
trips to India because of the
region’s reputation as a low-
cost destination.
Over 50,000 Kenyans go
there every year for specialised
treatment because the services
cost a fraction of what local
hospitals charge.
The President said cultural
relations between the people
of Kenya and India run deep.

He added that the two gov-
ernments need to strengthen
and facilitate trade and invest-
ment.
“Kenyans and Indians have
strong cultural ties. Members
of the Indian community in
Kenya have been here for long,
a number of them five genera-
tions. Some do not know India,
they only know Kenya to be
their home,” he said.
Mr Tripathi has been in

Kenya not
affected by
cars recall
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Kenyan and East African mo-
torists have not been affected by
General Motors move to recall
millions of vehicles said to have
mechanical problems.
According to Ms Rita Kavashe,
GM East Africa general manager,
the targeted models are not sold
in this region.
The giant car maker recalled
nearly 1.5 million vehicles on Fri-
day for possible ignition problems
blamed for 13 deaths.
The models involved are all 2005-
2007 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac
G5, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, 2006-
2007 Chevrolet HHR, 2005-2006
Pontiac Pursuit (Canada), 2006-
2007 Pontiac Solstice and 2007
Saturn Sky vehicles.
The move came after GM called
back 1.6 million cars last month
amid questions over why it had
taken years to address an ignition
defect it knew about as early as
2001.
No reported incidents
“The model we sell in this re-
gion is different and (has had) no
reported incidents,” Ms Kavashe
told the Nation.
The American multinational
corporation with headquarters in
Detroit, Michigan, while announc-
ing the recall, said there was no
evidence of fatalities from igni-
tion-related incidents in the new
group of 824,000 cars.
But it added that 90,000 of the
faulty ignitions were in the 2005-
2007 models used as replacements
in cars covered in the new recall.
GM said it needed to check all of
the vehicles to see which ones had
the potentially faulty replacement
ignitions. “We are taking no chances
with safety,” GM’s chief executive
Mary Barra said in a statement.

region is different and (has

Mr Bundotich said they en-

The transporters also took
issue with KRA’s move to col-

their business in the wake of
other numerous charges levied
on the sector.
“The taxman collects an aver-

ECONOMY | Public deficit stands 4.3 per cent
Hollande’s headache
as budget misses goal
PARIS, Monday
French
F
rance is way behind targets for
President cleaning up its budget, official
data showed today, deepening a
left in dilemma for President François Hol-
dilemma lande over cutting spending without
splitting his left-wing backers.
over The public deficit, or gap between
spending and revenues, amounted to
cutting 4.3 per cent of national output last
spending year, the data revealed, raising the
stakes as Hollande considers chang-
that would ing key ministers after an election
split debacle.
The deficit figure from the national
supporters statistics office marked a sharp reduc-
tion from 4.9 per cent in 2012 but was
clearly above the government’s target
of 4.1 per cent.
Faces huge task
This means that the government
faces a huge task, in economic and
political terms, in meeting its commit-
ment to the European Union to reduce
the deficit to less than 3.0 per cent of
gross domestic product in 2015.
Hollande, handicapped by weak
economic growth and the failure of
a promise to stop unemployment
rising, suffered a huge setback on
Sunday when his Socialist party did
exceptionally badly in local elections,
and the far-right National Front did
well.
France has won extra time from the
European Commission to correct its
badly over-stretched public finances
on condition it enacts big reforms.
France is the eurozone’s second-
biggest economy, and its finances
are closely watched by the EU, the
European Central Bank, Germany
— the zone’s biggest economy — and
financial markets where France bor-
rows.
Big trade deficit
The government is making little
progress in enacting radical reforms
to cut spending and raise business
competitiveness, as have several other
EU countries.
France has a big trade deficit com-
pared to a huge surplus by Germany,
and there is now broad agreement that
taxes, and notably charges on busi-
nesses, are too high.
But in February the number of
unemployed people rose by 0.9
per cent to a record 3.34 million.

Through the campaign, an additional 1
million Kenyans have gained access to

The impact of sanitation and
hygiene on Kenya’s disease burden
Message from Director of Medical Services
A significant portion of Kenya’s disease burden is caused by poor
personal hygiene, inadequate sanitation practices and unsafe
drinking water. Approximately 19,500 Kenyans, including 17,100
children under the age of five years, die each year from diarrhoea.
Diarrhoea prevalence for under-5’s remains at 17% nationally, but
disproportionately affects the poorest people in the population.
35% of children in Kenya suffer from moderate to severe stunting.
Childhood stunting, which can affect both educational and long-
term productivity outcomes, has been linked to poor sanitation
and in particular open defecation practices. With over 5.8 million
Kenyans still defecating in the open, the prevalence of diseases such
as diarrhoea, amoeba, typhoid and cholera will continue to persist
unless drastic action is taken.
James W. Macharia,
Cabinet Secretary
our Vision 2030 targets of universal
access, this rate must be increased to
3% and to meet the MDG targets, the
rate need to be increased to 5%.
In view of this, the Ministry of Health
has organized this National Sanitation
and Hygiene Conference to spur
action towards accelerating access to
improved sanitation for all Kenyans in
the context of the devolved system of
government.
Dr. Francis Kimani, OGW
Director, Medical Services
The resources being channelled to sanitation
services in Kenya are extremely low in relation Prof. Fred Segor,
to the need. We all need to advocate for the Principal Secretary
establishment of clear institutional responsibilities
and specific budget lines for improving sanitation in Kenya. This first Annual
National Conference on Sanitation and Hygiene is a first step towards realizing
this goal.
We appeal to delegates at the conference to come up with a clear way forward. We
want to make it clear that we in government shall do whatever it takes to deliver
our targets while remaining faithful to the constitution.
Measures to improve
sanitation and hygiene
Message from Chief Public Health
Officer
In Kenya 72% of the excreta disposal facilities
are simple pit latrines providing varied degrees of
safety, hygiene and privacy. In the last 20 years,
ventilated improved pit (vip) latrines have been
introduced by the Ministry of Health with support
from bilateral donors and other stakeholders.
However, the initiative failed to scale-up as the
designs promoted were not affordable by the
majority of Kenyans. This situation was also
compounded by diverse cultural and social factors,
varying from one community to another, that
hinder sanitation and hygiene promotion.
Kepha Ombacho, PhD, MBS
Advances continue to be made towards greater Chief Public Health Officer
access to basic sanitation in Kenya. Since the
Government adopted the community led total sanitation (CLTS) approach, over 1.2
million Kenyans have gained access to sanitation, many for the first time. However,
the pace adoption, particularly in rural areas, is still insufficient to meet the desired
targets. In response to this, the Department of Environmental Health strongly
supports the move to decentralize service delivery and promote people-centered
approaches.
The challenges in sustaining sanitation systems are linked to traditional approaches

MINISTRY OF HEALTH

1st - 3rd April, 2014 | Vеnuе; KICC, Nairobi
THEME: Accеlеrating Accеss to Improvеd Sanitation undеr Dеvolution: Making thе Right a Rеality

Preventing death and disease through improved sanitation and hygiene

S
anitation is one of the most important
issues in the world today. Ironically it
is also one of the most underrepre-
sented and underfunded health issues today.
This first national conference on sanitation
and hygiene provides an opportunity to raise
awareness on these issues and to engage all
stakeholders, at national and county levels, in
seeking solutions to them.
The conference theme “Accelerating Access to Im-
proved Sanitation under Devolution: Making the Right a
Reality” aims to spur action by both national and coun-
ty governments to accelerate access to safe sanitation
in Kenya. The specific objectives are:
1) Advocating for increased focus on sanitation by
county and national government and sector play-
ers, specifically addressing financing and capacity
resource gaps
2) Ensuring that county planning is aligned towards at-
taining national targets and county commitments
3) Networking and knowledge sharing by sanitation
stakeholders in strengthening learning and an ena-
bling environment
At the current rate of progress Kenya will miss the Mil-
lennium Development Goals (MDG) target for sanita-
tion of 63% improved coverage by more than100 years
and universal access will be reached in 133 years. Yet
attaining universal access would require only a relative-
ly small additional annual rate of acceleration from the
current annual rate of 0.75% to 5%.
The Ministry of Health estimates that in 2010 almost
half of rural Kenyans did not have access to even basic
sanitation – a situation that has barely changed since
1990.
Open defecation is still practiced in Kenya despite the
Government’s ambitious ODF Rural Kenya 2013 Cam-
paign and Roadmap. Primarily a rural issue, the nation-
al open defecation rate of 14% masks regional dispari-
ties – in some counties open defecation remains the
Environmentally friendly latrines in a rural primary school in Western Kenya
norm for more than 70% of the population.
Even in counties with lower reported rates of
open defecation, children’s faeces are often
not contained, due to parental perception
that children may fall in latrines, and also the
perception that children’s faeces are harm-
less. Adults report routinely defecating in
the open at night and during the rainy sea-
son.
Open defecation is also overwhelming pover-
ty related with more than 60% of the poorest
wealth quintile practicing open defecation
compared to less that 1% in the wealthiest
quintiles. Open defecation is also more fre-
quently practiced in poorer geographic ar-
eas.
Lack of sanitation is a major cause of diseas-
es and deaths in Kenya
A significant portion of Kenya’s disease bur-
den is caused by poor personal hygiene, in-
adequate sanitation practices and unsafe
drinking water. Approximately 19,500 Ken-
yans, including 17,100 children under the age
of five years, die each year from diarrhoea.
Diarrhoea prevalence for under-5’s remains
at 17% nationally, but again disproportion-
ately affects the poorest quintiles.
Under-5 mortality, while below the regional
average, remains at 73 per 1,000 live births,
equating to 107,000 children each year.
Under-5 mortality is higher in rural areas
than urban areas and highest in the poorest
wealth quintiles.
Thirty-five percent of children in Kenya suf-
fer from moderate to severe stunting. Child-
hood stunting which can affect both educa-
tional and long-term productivity outcomes
has been linked to sanitation and in particu-
lar open defecation.
Poor sanitation is expensive.
Kenya loses an estimated KES 27 Billion
each year, which is 1% of national GDP, due
to poor sanitation. A recent SHARE study,
which included Kenya, found that the poor-
est children and families bear the greatest
sanitation-related health-burden due to both
exposure and susceptibility
Continued lack of progress in sanitation will
ultimately undermine efforts to reduce pov-
erty in the country. Another study which
documented the experiences of women in
informal settlements in Nairobi, found that
inadequate access to sanitation facilities left
women and girls vulnerable to rape and oth-
er forms of gender based violence.
Targets and Commitments for Sanitation
The Government of Kenya remains commit-
ted to achieving the Global Millennium De-
velopment Goals (MDGs) as well as national
sanitation targets such as Vision 2030 and
the constitutional right to sanitation.
However, a report carried out jointly by WHO
and UNICEF shows that Kenya is off track in
meeting these targets. At the current rate of
progress the country will not attain the MDG
targets in another 60years!
At the Sanitation and Water for All (SWA)
High Level Meeting held in 2012, the GoK
made a primary commitment to have an ad-
ditional 20 million people gain access to sani-
tation by 2015, which would bring the pro-
portion of people with access to improved
sanitation to a new coverage rate of 82%,
more than two and half times the current
estimate of 31%.
In order to do this, the government (both na-
tional and county) will need to accelerate the
pace of access to sanitation across the coun-
try to at least 5%. This will require strong
and targeted effort and collaboration.
Kenya has a historically strong enabling envi-
ronment (EE) for sanitation. Analysis of coun-
try progress against the eThekwini commit-
ments on sanitation ranks Kenya as 7th out
of 35 participating African countries and 3rd
amongst participating East African coun-
tries. Kenya scores above the East African
regional average in all but three eThekwini
commitment areas: capacity building, equity
monitoring and having targets in the PRSP.
This will need to be strengthened and built
upon especially at this juncture where the
responsibility of ensuring access to sanita-
tion lies with the new county governments.
This national conference will be therefore
very important in communicating this na-
tional targets and working specific regional/
county targets towards attaining the coun-
try commitments.

Scaling up Sanitation in Kenya in the context of Devolution

Having adopted the CLTS approach to accelerate
access to basic sanitation, the GoK launched the
ODF Rural Kenya Campaign with a comprehensive
roadmap that laid own the implementation plan to
have a rural Kenya that is open defecation-free by
the end of 2013
In 2012, Nambale sub-county was declared Open
Defecation Free (ODF). In 2013 Nyando sub-
county was also declared ODF. These sub-counties
are among thousands of villages that have been
declared ODF therefore enabling access by an
additional 1million Kenyans to basic sanitation.
These achievements serve to show that an
ODF village/county/country is possible. But the
progress has been slow and the target to achieve
ODF by 2013 will not be met.
As the country evaluates this process, this
presents an opportunity to identify the bottlenecks
encountered, the existing opportunities and chart
a way forward towards a country that is open
defecation free and enabling access to sanitation
of the about 6million Kenyans still defecating in
the open.
To lock in the gains made in the ODF communities,
and further accelerate access to safe sustainable
sanitation, the Ministry of Health is also working
with development partners and the private sector
to develop and provide sanitation options that
low-income households find both aspirational and
affordable.
If this strong PPP process is successfully
implemented the country will be well on the road to
meeting its national commitment of ensuring 82%
of Kenyans have access to improved sanitation.
In 2010, Kenyans voted in a new constitution
that among other things sets out the devolved
system of government. This means that a number
of functions that were earlier the role of national
government are under each of the 47 county
governments.
The constitution of Kenya states that:
• Every person has the right to accessible
and adequate housing, and to reasonable
standards of sanitation;
And that
• The functions and powers of the county
are among others county public works and
services, including –
(a) Storm water management systems in built-up
areas; and
(b) Water and sanitation services
The current devolution process in Kenya provides a
very strong opportunity to support the acceleration
of access to sanitation in each of the 47 counties.
If this opportunity is not maximized, there is the
very real possibility of losing the gains so far made
and slowing even further the attainment of MDGs,
universal access and the national development
blueprint -Vision 2030. Early action is required to
ensure that sanitation remains high on the political
agenda of County Governors and Senators.
The national sanitation conference therefore
presents an opportunity to put sanitation at the
centre of development agenda at the county level
and start the conversations required to increase
financial allocation to matters sanitation.
This conference will mark a turning point for
Kenya as she seeks to make the right to sanitation
a reality. County governments hold the key to
making this happen. It is of great importance that
counties actively participate in this conference, as
it will accord them the opportunity to better serve
their people. County Governors, County Executive
Committee Members for Health, and County
Public Health Officers are expected to attend.

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
Your ability to appear magnetic and sexual
is strong today. It’s lucky for love if you have
an appreciative sweetheart. Expect to make a
lasting impression wherever you go. Your natural
self-sufficiency means you may want to be close
but don’t need to be. It can send confusing
messages.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
Trust your feelings. Don’t neglect what you need
to be happy. The energy today supports heavy
mental work and tasks that require disciplined
thinking. Problems can help you make things
better. Sometimes a breakdown is actually the
key to a big step forward.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
It is possible to feel stressed or confused. You
may easily see the flaws in any situation and
blame yourself. An older person can help you
keep things in perspective. It is your choice if you
want to express strong feelings. Service projects
reveal spiritual truths and help you feel centered.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
Your enthusiasm could be on overdrive today.
Some will feel it necessary to convert others
to their point of view and this can cause
estrangements. Travel, sports, and other physical
challenges can help channel your abundant
energy.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Your mind may be racing with a thousand good
ideas today. Make lists, especially if you aren’t
going to get to everything. Someone who has
been through a difficult experience could use
your time and attention. Look for shortcuts to
get your work done more quickly,.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
Expect to be busy. Community projects
give you a chance to shine. You’re naturally
generous. Today’s energy encourages you to be
conservative with money. Be especially cautious
about any form of gambling. Expansive dreams
can cloud your judgment.
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
Do your best to be genuinely interested in other
people. At the same time, pay attention to the
little details of their lives and interests. You’ll
establish yourself as a good person to know. You
can be an excellent critic or adviser if you do it
with a smile.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
Someone outgoing, impulsive, and articulate can
be a real inspiration today. What do you enjoy
doing? You will be happiest diving into any area
that holds your interest. Following your passion
will help you feel energized and on track. It’s time
to take trips and enjoy a change of scene.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
Sometimes you may think putting on a good
front is more important than showing your true
self, but this would be a mistake. It’s vital to
communicate your real feelings today. This is
positive for doing something special. The classic
“dinner and a movie” date could be great fun.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
This is a wonderful day. You have every reason to
feel more optimistic about your prospects for the
future. Do the best you can in work situations.
Avoid letting email or texting distract you from
specific commitments. Music and spiritual
themes are can bring hope and inspiration.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
Find your calm center before making any major
decision. Becoming receptive sometimes means
shedding tears and forgiving injuries. Even if
things seem hopeless, it is always worth trying
again. Someone you care for wants to help you.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
Be as flexible as possible in the face of other
people’s strong opinions. Keep your sense of
humor. At the same time, acknowledge any
serious suspicions you may feel about a person
or situation. Your first instincts are correct.

said she is now focusing on the Common-

to retain her Africa 5,000m and 10,000m

“Great team work did the trick for us as it
made the flat course easier and I’m proud
with what we achieved because everybody
was in good shape,” said Cherono, who is
the World 10,000m silver medalist.
Cherono heaped praise on coach Masai,

Left-arm spin wizard Rangana Her-

chasing a modest 120-run total, in his

60 in 15.3 overs in Chittagong — the
Black Caps’ lowest total in T20s.

finish off a fine 72 in the 72-hole
strokeplay championship.

had a bad outing as he picked up
only seven pars, two birdies, six
single bogeys and three double
bogeys to complete a 10 over
par 81.

The match between Kenya and

that Mombasa County are entitled to
15 per cent of the amount.
VIP tickets for the match were sold
at Sh500 while those for the terraces
were retailing at Sh200. It was the

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE | Uphill task for Red Devils as they take on the best team in Europe
It’s David vs Goal-iath tonight
Manchester United boss David Moyes

United look for cracks
in Bayern’s armour

M
anchester United manager
David Moyes says that his
side must exploit the smallest
weaknesses in Bayern Munich’s game
if they are to eliminate the Champions
League holders in the quarter-finals.
United appeared in three of the
four finals between 2008 and 2011,
triumphing in the first year, but their
fall from grace under Moyes means
that they approach tonight’s (kick off
10.45pm) first leg at Old Trafford as
underdogs.
While Bayern have grown even
stronger under their new coach, Pep
Guardiola, sweeping to a successful
Bundesliga title defence in record
time, United have endured a torrid
campaign. Seventeen points behind
Premier League leaders Liverpool
and 10 points below the top four,
their season now hinges entirely on
their last-eight encounter with the
all-conquering Bavarians.
“When we drew them, I felt we’d
drawn probably the best team in Eu-
rope at this present time. I think most
people would agree with that,” Moyes
said. “We have got a really tough game
and know exactly what we are going to
get, but we’ll try to exploit little bits of
weaknesses they have got.
“Pep has taken over a really good

team and added a bit himself with his
own style. They have already won the
Bundesliga quite comfortably, so the
focus is on the Champions League
now.” Moyes’s maiden campaign at
United has been a succession of false
dawns and crashing lows, and their
recent form provides few assurances.
Although they came back from two
goals down to beat Olympiakos 3-0 in
the last 16, this month has also seen
the English champions humbled 3-0
at home by both Liverpool and Man-
chester City.
Last season’s top scorer Robin van
Persie is currently sidelined after
spraining his knee against Olympiakos,
but the form of Wayne Rooney, at least,
gives United reason for optimism.
Rooney’s brace in Saturday’s 4-1 de-
feat of Aston Villa took his tally to four
goals in three games, and his creativity
will be especially important in the ab-
sence of the cup-tied Juan Mata.
A group of United fans chartered a
plane to fly over Old Trafford towing
a ‘MOYES OUT’ banner during the
Villa game, and although the Scot
received a warm reception inside the
ground, his position will again come
under scrutiny if his side are embar-
rassed by Bayern. It will not be lost
on United’s fans that Guardiola was
once seen as an ideal successor to their
former manager Alex Ferguson, whose
retirement last year paved the way for
Moyes’s appointment.
Having turned Barcelona into the
first truly great team of the 21st century,
the Catalan now has his sights set on
improving a Bayern side that claimed
an unprecedented treble under Jupp
Heynckes last season. (AFP)

Barca star fears
Atletico know
‘just too much’
Madrid
Barcelona midfielder Xavi Her-
nandez is concerned that Atletico
Madrid will know exactly how to
stop the Catalans when they meet
in the first leg of their Champions
League quarter-final tonight.
Both sides have already clashed
three times this season, twice in the
Spanish Supercup and once in La
Liga with all three encounters end-
ing in draws.
Barca took the spoils in the Super-
cup on away goals, but it is Atletico
who lead the way in La Liga, a point
ahead of second placed Barca, with
just seven games remaining.
And Xavi is well aware of how
difficult a tie the four-time Euro-
pean champions face if they are to
progress to a seventh consecutive
Champions League semi-final.
“I don’t like playing against
Spanish teams in the Champions
League, they know us very well.
Atletico are a very uncomfortable
opponent that defends and breaks
on the counter-attack. The tie will
be decided by fine details,” he told
the Barcelona website.
“Atletico are solid and know how
they want to play. There will be few
chances at goal and the strategies
will be important. It is 50-50.”
Barca have though hit top form
themselves in recent weeks after a
dip during February and March.
Gerardo Martino’s men have won
five consecutive games in all com-
petitions and brought themselves
right back into the La Liga title race
by beating Real Madrid 4-3 in El
Clasico last weekend.
“We arrive in good form, very
hopeful and motivated. After the
Clasico, we are in good form physi-
cally and mentally,” added Xavi.
“Our handicap is that we have the
return leg at the Calderon. The key
is to not concede at home. We need
to try and not concede free-kicks or
corners because they are excellent
on set-pieces.” (AFP)
I don’t like playing

arastatal chiefs are yet

wage bill.
The parastatal bosses had
requested to be given time
to adjust their payslips to
absorb the expected salary
cuts, Salaries and Remunera-

Sarah Serem said yesterday.
Most of them were servic-

financial commitments before
the directive was issued, Ms
Serem said.
“We understand the
situation. They will comply

So far, only Senate Major-

have his salary slashed begin-

FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION

Blood on the floor,

worse on the bed
Irene Chelegat was 13 when she got pregnant, was
married, lost the baby, and was divorced, but that
was not before she developed obstetric fistula

P.2-3
 2 coverstory
Q&A
H
ello dear reader. My name is Irene
Chelegat. I am aged 20 and the
story I want to tell you is based on
my personal experiences, first, as a
woman and, second, as a wife. It is a story that
I hope will change the lives of my peers for the
better, a story that I have been yearning to tell
for a long time.
I come from Kapenguria, a timid dusty town
430 kilometres to the north-west of Nairobi. I
call the town timid because, over the years, I have
watched it cow into submission as the scorching
sun battles for supremacy with dry winds that
lick life out of anything that stands in
their way. And the hills that surround
my little town have for centuries stood
and watched in disturbing muteness,
like witnesses to a crime, as the place
loses the battle with the elements.
Beneath that timidity, however, lies
something more sinister and heart-
wrenching. And I am the very
personification of the effects of
that sinister monster. It has been
labelled “culture” and “tradition”
by its proponents, dressed up to
look and sound nice — sort of
like painting the walls of a prison
— but deep within it remains,
at least to me, the lowest that
a people can stoop.
My reasons for that
evaluation are four: One, I
was 13 when I got married;
two, I was 13 when I was
circumcised; three, I was 13
when I lost my baby through
obstructed labour; and, four, I
was 13 when I was divorced.
Yes, by the time the average
Kenyan girl of my age was
preparing for her Kenya Certificate
of Primary Education examination,
I had been married and divorced,
and left with scars that I have
struggled with ever since. It is
easy, then, to see why I may sound
a little bitter about the timidity of
Kapenguria.
It all began in 2007, when I was a
Standard Four pupil at Chepararia
Primary School. I had just entered
teenage and was beginning to
notice changes in my body when
a 24-year-old man asked me to be
his girlfriend. He had pursued me
for a while, but since I was in
school most of the time, we could
only meet during the holidays,
when he would visit and bring
me gifts. After a short while, I
was hooked.
When we eventually got
intimate, I thought it was
part of the normal friendship
between boys and girls. After
all, other girls reported
having similar experiences
during the holidays. After
some time, however, I noticed I
was growing round and plump, but I
did not think much of it. It was only
after I heard my boyfriend telling his
friends that I was pregnant that I
realised what was happening.
Then aged 13, I had no idea
what being pregnant was,

How to deal with

smell disorders
Smell and taste are part of the chemical sensing
system. The process of smelling and tasting
begins with the stimulation of special sensory
nerve cells in the nose, mouth and throat by
molecules released by substances around us, for
instance, food. The sensory nerve cells transmit
signals to the brain that identify specific smells
and tastes. The smell nerves are found in a tiny
patch of tissue on the upper part of the nose and
these connect directly to the brain. Most people
who have smell disorders either experience
some change in the way they interpret odours,
or lose their ability to smell. A reduction in the
ability to detect smell is known as hyposmia
while failure to detect odours completely is
known as anosmia. Changes in the perception of
smell might include perceiving smells that are
not there, or one might notice that smells that
were previously pleasant have become foul.

BY DR TOROOTI MWIRIGI
nation@askadoc.co.ke
Dear Doc,
How serious are smell disorders
and who is at risk of developing a
smell disorder?
Mercy
Dear Mercy,
Just like all other senses, the sense
of smell is very crucial in one’s life.
The sense of smell frequently acts as
the first warning and alerts a person to
things happening in the surrounding, for
example, a gas leak, smoke from fire,
or spoilt foods. Perhaps, of greatest
importance is the fact that the chemo
senses are at times an indication of a
serious health problem. Diseases such
as hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease
and diabetes are often signalled or
accompanied by chemosensory problems
such as smell disorders.
The sense of smell is most effective
between the ages of 30 and 60. However,
it begins to decline after the age of 60.
Smell can also be affected by certain
habits such as smoking.
Dear Doc,
Can one lose his or her sense of
smell completely and what can one do
if the loss is permanent?
Jerry
Dear Jerry,
It is very rare for a person be born
with the inability to smell. Other cases
that may lead to complete loss of smell
are head injuries or nasal and sinus
illnesses. If the olfactory nerves are
damaged either by surgery or trauma,
total loss of smell can occur.
If a person fails to regain their sense
of smell even after treatment, certain
precautions should be taken to ensure
that person’s safety. For example, the
people living around can smell food on
their behalf and make sure that food is
always kept fresh to keep such a person
from eating food that has gone bad. If the
person lives alone, he or she should throw
away any food if there is a likelihood that
it is spoilt. Other home safety precautions
could include the installation of gas
detectors and smoke alarms.
Dear Doc,
What are the causes of smell
disorders?
Guantai
Dear Guantai,
Most people who develop smell
disorders might have had a recent injury,
such as a head injury, or an illness. Some
people are born with a poor sense of smell
or taste. This is a result of congenital
abnormalities within the nose or affecting
the nerves that transmit smell signals.
The sense of smell also tends to
decline with age.
Upper respiratory infections such
as the common cold are commonly
blamed for loss of sense of smell n
some cases. However, this is temporary
since the nerve cells can regenerate
and the problem usually goes away
spontaneously. The neurons of smell
are the only nerve cells that can be
regenerated by the body.
Loss of sense of smell and taste
might result from polyps in the nasal
or sinus cavities, hormonal disturbances,
medication or dental problems. They can
also be caused by prolonged exposure to
certain chemicals such as insecticides,
and by some medicines.
Tobacco smoking is the most
concentrated form of pollution that
most people are exposed to. It impairs
the ability to identify odours and reduces
the sense of taste. Quitting smoking
improves the smell function.
Patients with head and neck
cancers who undergo radiation therapy
often complain of losing their senses
of smell and taste. This is because the
radiation destroys the nerve cells as
collateral damage to the primary aim of
destroying cancerous cells. Complete
recovery from this kind of injury might
not be possible.
Diseases that affect the nerves such
as the various degenerative disorders
can also lead to loss of smell that can
also be permanent.
Dear Doc,
Can a smell disorder be treated?
Wairegi
Dear Wairegi,
Depending on what has caused the
disorder, the doctor can treat the problem
or propose ways to help cope with it. In
some cases certain medications are the
cause of smell or taste disorders, and
improvement occurs when that medicine
is stopped or changed.
Although certain medications can
cause chemosensory problems, others,
especially anti-allergy medicines, seem
to improve the senses of taste and
smell. Some patients, notably those
with serious respiratory infections or
seasonal allergies, regain their sense of
smell or taste simply by waiting for their
illness to run its course.
In many cases, nasal obstructions
such as polyps can be removed to restore
airflow to the receptor area and can
correct the loss of smell and taste.
Occasionally, chemosenses return
to normal just as spontaneously as they
disappeared.
Diagnosis may also lead to the
treatment of an underlying cause of the
disorder. Remember, many types of smell
and taste disorders are reversible. Only
in rare cases will the sense of smell go
back to normal on its own.

Functions of the nose
The nose is an important
organ in the body. It serves as
an entrance to the respiratory
tract and also contains the
olfactory (smelling) organ. The
nose is made up of cartilage
(flexible connective tissue) and
bone, and it is divided into two
equal hollow nostrils.
The nostrils are separated by
a wall of cartilage known as
the septum. Open sinus spaces
are located in the forehead,
at the top of the nostrils.
Since the nose is part of the
respiratory system, it serves
numerous functions, such as
breathing, smelling and tasting.
During normal breathing,
air flows in and out. The inner
surface of the nose is lined with
many blood vessels. As blood
flows through the nose, it
warms the air as one breathes
in. The nose also moistens the
air that a person breathes in
before it gets into the lungs.
The nose contains several
tiny hairs inside the nostrils.
These hairs serve as filters
and get rid of any particles or
dirt that might be in the air
you breathe before it enters
the lungs. Nose blowing and
sneezing also help remove
particles from the body.
Smell is among the most
important functions of the
nose. Smell is an important
element of memory, as well
as emotional and physical
attraction.
The nose, throat, and mouth
have sensory cells that play
an important role in helping
people interpret smells and
distinguish between flavours.
The olfactory nerves allow
the communication between
the nose and the brain. The
tiny molecules released by
the matter around a person
such as food and flower scents
stimulate the sensory cells.
Once these sensory cells detect
the molecules, they deliver
messages to the brain, enabling
a person to identify the smell.
Though the sense of taste
is totally separate from that
of smell, the nose plays a
part in influencing the way
the tongue interprets taste.
The aroma of a particular
food influences its taste. The
senses of taste and smell work
simultaneously because smells
from food allow people to taste
more fully. Therefore, a person
with a congested nose will
complain of a reduced sense
of taste.
Air that resonates in the
nose influences the sound of
a person’s voice. The shape of
the septum also plays a part
when it comes to the sound
of a person’s voice. Therefore,
surgery on the nose can
interfere with the sound of a
person’s voice.

Stress could lead to Lack of sleep Do not blame food

infertility in women
Can stress affect a woman’s
ability to become pregnant? A new
study says it may. Over four years,
401 women who were stopping
contraception and trying to have a
baby underwent saliva testing for
two stress-related substances: the
enzyme alpha-amylase, and the
hormone cortisol.
The women provided a saliva
sample upon enrollment in the
study, and then another at their
first observed menstrual period,
so that comparisons between the
women could be made from the
same starting point.
Researchers analysed the
samples and then followed the
women to see how long it took
them to become pregnant. Women
who became pregnant during the
first month of the study (before
they could give a second saliva
sample) were also included in the
analysis.
The scientists defined infertility
as a failure to become pregnant
after 12 months of unprotected
intercourse. During the study,
published Monday in Human
Reproduction, 347 women became
pregnant and 54 did not. There
was no association of cortisol with
fertility.
But those whose alpha-amylase
levels were in the highest third,
a sign of longstanding stress,
had more than double the risk of
infertility.
The scientists controlled
for age, race, income and other
health and socioeconomic factors.
The lead author, Courtney D
Lynch, director of reproductive
epidemiology at Ohio State
University, said that if a woman
was having difficulty becoming
pregnant, it would be harmless,
and might be helpful, to consider
stress-reduction techniques. “Yoga,
meditation, mindfulness have
been successful in other health
outcomes,” she said, “and might be
helpful for fertility as well.” (NYT)
in children
may point to
brain trouble
A recent study published in the
journal Sleep in the UK shows that
regular sleepless nights in childhood
could be a warning that your child is
prone to psychotic disorders.
The study, which had 6,800
children (all below 12 years old) as
sample respondents, reported that
although most of the children had
sleepless nights, mostly caused by
nightmares, the ones who had them
persistently (37 per cent) showed
signs of underlying mental illnesses,
though benign.
In the research, parents were
asked if their children had sleep
problems, and then the kids were
assessed for psychotic experiences:
hallucinations, delusions, terror
nights and thinking their thoughts
were being controlled.
If psychotic disorders are detected
early, according to the study, they
are curable and preventable. The
study recommended age seven for
check up; and further, as self remedy,
encouraged parents to exercise
parental guidance when their kids
watch stuff that raises their anxiety,
such as horror or graphic movies,
as children’s brains may not have
capacity to comprehend such fiction.

additives for rashes
People often blame food
additives like dyes, preservatives,
emulsifiers and flavour enhancers
for chronic hives and other skin
eruptions, but a new randomised
trial shows that they are almost
surely wrong.
Over 10 years, researchers
conducted “oral challenge” tests
(in which patients ingest a suspect
food and wait for a reaction) on
100 people who had been suffering
from skin irritations with no known
cause for six weeks or longer, what
doctors call chronic urticaria.
They tested 11 of the additives
most commonly implicated in
allergic reactions, including
aspartame, monosodium
glutamate, yellow dye No 6, nitrites
and nitrates. Forty-three of the
patients said they had had allergic
reactions to such additives. In
single-blinded tests, in which the
doctor knew what substance was
being tested but the patient did
not, two patients developed a skin
reaction.
But neither had a reaction in a
subsequent double-blinded test, in
which neither doctors nor patients
knew what substance was being
tested.
No other patients had
responses to the 11 additives, and
there were no gastrointestinal,
respiratory or other symptoms.
The findings appeared in the March
issue of The Journal of Allergy and
Clinical Immunology: In Practice.
“If you have chronic urticaria,
you don’t need to avoid certain
foods because of food additives,”
said the lead author, Dr. Jessica P
Rajan of the Scripps Clinic in San
Diego. (NYT)

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
You have a warm and sensitive nature, Aquarius,
and today you could be feeling especially tuned
in to the feelings of others. Romance is very
much on your mind, as are all things sensual. If
you’re shopping for clothes, you’ll likely be drawn
to rich and luxurious fabrics.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
This may be a tricky day, Pisces, as you feel the
pull of conflicting demands and desires. On the
one hand, you feel obligated to your career and
fulfilling the demands of your employer. On the
other, your loved ones miss you and would like to
have you around more.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
It doesn’t seem fair that your workload has
increased these last few days. Never mind that
you still have all of your normal tasks to do, your
boss expects you to finalize a new budget and
write a proposal as well? Enlist the help of others
if you can. If you can’t, simply do the best you
can without sacrificing time with your family and
loved ones.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
You’ve been extremely busy these past few
months, working extra hours at the office, then
going out with friends late at night. This sort of
behavior is known as “burning the candle at both
ends,” and it rarely has a happy ending.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Expect today’s planetary energies to raise
your social consciousness, Gemini. You may
be distracted with thoughts of the homeless
person you saw today. You may be reflecting on
your connection to and responsibilities toward
humanity.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
You may be asked to swallow your pride and give
in to someone else’s will today, Cancer. This will
be difficult for you to do. Try to concentrate on
your good reasons for obedience, and work out
your frustration by taking a brisk walk.
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
The planetary energy makes this a good day for
contemplation rather than action, Leo. If you feel
the urge to buy, don’t. Sleep on decisions. If you
feel the same tomorrow, go for it. If you’re in the
middle of a conflict at work, try not to take sides.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
Passion and romance are in the air, Virgo,
so make the most of the great atmosphere!
Everyone seems to be in a festive mood. You feel
close to others and feel profound gratitude for
the loved ones in your life.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
You may receive some upsetting news from a
family member today, Libra. It could have you
reeling for a moment, but when you take the
time to think about it some more you’ll realize
that things aren’t as troubling as they first
seemed.Be sure to get all the facts before taking
any action.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
You must weigh your physical limitations with
your desire to get everything done, Scorpio. You
run the risk of wearing yourself out and getting
sick just as you finish your tasks. Enlist the help
of others, if you can, for all those chores and
errands that absolutely need to be done.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
Today you could realize that a friend is actually
your soul mate, Sagittarius. You’ve been
spending a lot of time together attending social
events, and you’ve come to realize how much
you look forward to each other’s company. Your
new level of affection seems obvious, but it
would be a good idea to put it into words.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
You may feel at odds with the rest of the world
now, Capricorn, as you yearn for some quiet time
alone. See if you can find a balance between
spending time with your family and time alone.
If you set the alarm to wake you early, you can
enjoy the peace and quiet of dawn.

Title: The Legend of Captain Kidd’s Island

Author: Shel Arensen
Publisher: WordAlive Publishers
THE WITCHDOCTOR
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY
They waved their arms and jumped up and
down when they saw us.
“How did they get over there?” my dad
wondered.
At least they hadn’t been attacked them with
a panga.
The other group came around the bend and
broke into a run when they saw Mato and Jona.
“Praise the Lord they’re not hurt,” Mr. Njoroge said
as he joined us. “But how are we going to get
them safely off that rock?”
“If we got a rope,” Dad said, “we could have
them climb across to the main island.”
He sent me back to the boat to get a rope
from the captain. The captain came running
back with me. He looked at the boys and shook
his head. “This could be dangerous,” he said. He
carried the rope and tied one end to a palm tree.
Then he made a loop on the other end with a big
knot. Twirling it over his head, he threw the rope
to Mato and Jona.
It fell short. We helped pull it out of the heaving
surf that crashed against the sharp shards of old
coral that formed that end of the island. A big
wave hit the rock where Mato and Jona stood.
The spray covered them and they disappeared.
Seconds later, we could see that Mato and Jona
were still there.
“We must hurry,” the captain said. “It’s a very
high tide today and that rock the boys are on will
soon be covered by water.” He whirled and flung
the rope one more time. Again, it fell short.
“We need something heavy on the end,” my
dad said.
We found a piece of dead coral and tied it
around the end of the rope.
“Be careful where you throw that rock,” Dr.
Owino said. “We don’t want to knock Jona or
Mato over.”
This time, the rope, with a rock on the end,
snaked over the frothing channel and landed
on the coral. Mato and Jona hopped away and
pounced on the rope.
“Tie it to a piece of coral,” the captain shouted.
Jona and Mato nodded as they tied the rope
around a chunk of coral, shaped like a ragged
mushroom.
The captain tightened the rope and motioned
for Jona and Mato to climb over on the rope.
MAZE
Jona went first.

Birds bred to entertain Vietnamese with melodies

Debate is raging on how to tame the staggering public wage bill. And per-
haps to underline how dire the situation is, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his
deputy, William Ruto, have taken a 20 per cent pay cut.
This discussion is long overdue, given that the huge wage bill has had a dev-
astating impact on development. Sadly, the situation is bound to get worse if
urgent measures are not put in place.
However, if we really need to climb out of this seemingly bottomless pit, we
need to deeply and honesty interrogate how we got ourselves there in the first
place. Arguably, we can blame our bad politics. Every regime comes in with
its own set of civil servants. The new leaders literally create jobs that do not
fit any description for their relatives, friends, sidekicks, allies, and tribesmen
and tribeswomen. Some jobs are even divided into smaller ones so that there
is enough for kith and kin. And this is not a problem of leadership alone; even
voters put undue pressure on the leaders to give them jobs, government con-
tracts, and even outright handouts. They demand these goodies, not because
they deserve them but because the president is “our son” and so “we are in
government”.
Pushed to the wall, the new government is forced to create jobs where none
exist or award public tenders to people who lack the capacity to handle them.
This is how the “eating” mentality that is now deeply etched in the psyche of
out politics came into existence. And because patronage trumps merit in pub-
lic appointments, we have a large cadre of civil servants who are unqualified,
lazy, and incompetent. This has bred rot, lethargy, and corruption cartels in
the public service. Consequently, the economy has remained stuck in the dol-
drums, yet the number of people living off it has been sharply rising. I suppose
this is how we took ourselves into the intricate quagmire of the bloated public
wage bill we are now lamenting about.
Patronage, ethnicity, and corruption are a potent cocktail that can irrepara-

PLAN» INTERNATIONAL FIRMS OPPOSED LOCAL EQUITY PARTICIPATION RULE IN 2013
Revised law seeks to enhance

shares at the bourse

they are licensed

I
nternational mining companies
will be required to float at least
20 per cent of their shares at the
Nairobi Securities Exchange within
four years after obtaining a mining
licence.
Mining Cabinet secretary Najib
Balala has included this requirement
in the Mining Bill 2014 published in
the Kenya Gazette on March 17.
“A mining company whose
planned capital expenditure is over
the prescribed limit shall within four
years after obtaining a mining li-
cence offload at least 20 per cent of
its equity at a local stock exchange,”
read the Bill.
According to the proposed law,
the Cabinet secretary will prescribe
the limits of capital expenditure by
mining firms.
The local equity participation re-
quirement was first suggested last
year but was strongly opposed by
major international mining com-
panies.
The proposed law was also not
clear on whether it will be applied
retrospectively.
At the time, the proposal was to
cap local equity participation at 35
per cent of a firm’s total sharehold-
ing. In the event that market condi-
tions do not allow for the comple-
tion of the stock offering within the
stipulated period, the draft law says
mining companies can apply in writ-
ing to the Cabinet secretary for an
extension of the period.
The Mining Bill 2014, which is set
to be discussed in Parliament for the
first time since it was drafted last
year, also contains other proposed
measures that, according to the
Ministry of Mining, are meant to
streamline the sector and increase
government revenue.
Mineral wealth
For instance, it seeks to scrap the
office of the commissioner of mines
and introduce two directorates
— mining and geological survey.
The director of geological sur-
veys will be tasked with mapping
to determine the country’s mineral
wealth.
Currently, a database of miner-
als showing their availability and
location is not available, a situation
mining principal secretary Titus
Ekai says has made it difficult to
sell Kenya as a mining destination
to international investors.
Airborne survey
The government has already
signed a memorandum of under-
standing (MoU) with China to carry
out an airborne survey of minerals.
“We expect the process to be com-
pleted in the coming financial year.
We intend to conclude this (survey)
as soon as we can. We have already
signed an MoU with the Chinese
government on carrying out the
airborne survey,” said Mr Ekai in a
telephone interview.
The director of mines will be
responsible for, among others,
ensuring that mining companies
news
comply with the requirements for
the acquisition of prospecting and
mining licences.
The position of the commissioner
of mines has always been controver-
sial because in the current mining
law, the office holder is responsible
for issuing prospecting and mining
licences.
Last year, Mr Balala sacked
Moses Masibo as commissioner of
mines, accusing him of presiding
over irregular issuance of 43 pros-
pecting and mining licences. The
minister revoked the licences
Strategic minerals
The draft law also gives the state a
pre-emption of all minerals obtained
within the country.
This means a mineral right holder
will be required to offer for sale to
the government any strategic min-
erals before sourcing for external
buyers.
Should the Bill become law, a
mineral and metals commodity
exchange will be established to
facilitate efficiency and security in
mineral trade.
Data from the Kenya National
Bureau of Statistics indicates that
earnings from mineral production
rose to Sh27.6 billion in 2012 from
Sh18.3 billion in 2011 due to a rise in
the global price of gold.
Local participation
Total mineral production declined
from 1.69 million tonnes in 2011 to
1.45 million tonnes in 2012.
In addition, the proposed law
introduces prospecting and mining
permits that are only targeted at
local investors as the government
moves to increase local participa-
tion in the sector that is currently
dominated by international mining
companies.

BOOK REVIEW

Plan well for uncertainties brought by rapidly changing technology

TITLE: Scenario Planning
AUTHOR: Mats Lindgren and Hans
Bandhold
REVIEWER: Enos Nyamor
WHEN PLANS ARE made, they are
sometimes based on hope. In spite
of preparations and the planning
process, the outcome often lies in
space, out of reach. And if there are
desirable outcomes at the end, they
might be credited to luck or even
coincidence. But businesses do not
operate on chance.
Then, to be better placed in a
competitive environment, it follows
that long-term plans, or strategies,
must be put in place. Strategies
have everything to
do with the future,
not the past. The
order in which events
unfold happens to
be beyond imagina-
tion. The future is the
focus.
One of the major issues brought
out in this book is the dynamism of
the “complex business environment”.
The rate at which technological ad-
vancements unfold is overwhelming.
Even though it is admirable, it spells
doom to a few businesses.
The changes could severely dimin-
ish the presence of a business in
an industry. It may not be that the
business made sloppy plans, but that
the business was too rigid to make
allowances for change. Critical to
success in a fast moving environment
are adaptation and speed.
The thoughts on uncertainties are
not new in the field of strategy, but
the twist given by the authors on the
concept of scenario planning redi-
rects the understanding or misunder-
standing that might exist. First, by
pointing out that reaction to change
is not enough. And that strategic
flexibility is achieved by a balance
between stability and flexibility.
In principle, if a business keeps
altering its plans and goals, there
possibly emerges confusion, not only
in the processes but also within the
ranks. While it may allow the pos-
sibilities of quick response to prob-
lems, on the other hand it is shallow
and not robust.
Scenario planning is a subset of
strategy. It, therefore, might be taken
up as a banner under which the busi-
ness regroups in case of turbulence.
In fact, scenario planning is different
from vision and futures; visions are
desired outcomes. Scenarios involve
bringing up unwanted possibilities
and mitigating them with quick solu-
tions to be kept as logical options in
case they are needed.
Scenario planning, as the authors
point out, is not yet embraced to
satisfaction on account of the wish-
ful thinking it brings with it. The idea
of coming up with a future that is
impractical is frowned upon. Mainly
this is so since “scenario planning
does not accord with the managerial
simplicity that says that there is one
right answer to every question.”
This book could appear recondite
to a reader, but its subject is una-
voidable, for it is better to have an
option, even when it might never be
put in use, than to linger on chance.
And, although scenario planning is
itself a time-consuming task, it might
come handy in case tables tip and
situations suddenly change.

DISPUTE» AT THE CENTRE OF CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS IS A TENDER FOR PROCUREMENT OF THREE DRILLING RIGS

this week as investigation continues into
team corruption claims in the company.
this At the centre of the dispute is the pro-
curement of three rigs from Chinese firm
week in Sichuan Honghua Petroleum Equipment
probe Ltd (SHPE).
into From the presentation to the committee
by GDC managing director Silas Simiyu,
graft it emerged that the Chinese firm was
claims awarded a contract to supply three drill-
ing rigs instead of two, as indicated in the
tender documents.
MPs, led by vice-chairman Ki-
mani Ichung’wa, questioned the award.
SHPE was awarded the tender for the
supply of two rigs at Sh3.7 billion ($43.1
million) on 27 November, 2012, then was
later allowed to supply an additional rig at
Sh1.84 billion ($21.5 million) on 9 Janu-
ary.
Dr Simiyu said the African Development
Bank, which was funding the project and
news
approved the limited international bid-
ding used in the procurement process,
concurred with the decision to give the
additional contract.
“The issue was, should we go back to do-
ing a new tender or should we add to this
contract, since we had not signed the con-
tract for the two rigs, or should we award
three rigs instead of two? That’s when the
bank gave us the okay,” said Dr Simiyu.
However, in what could show that the
board and the management are not work-
ing in tandem, the board chairman, Mr
Simon Gicharu said the latter did not
follow the laid-down procedures and that
the award was issued without the board’s
knowledge and approval.
Legal requirements
“This procurement may not have
met the legal requirements for di-
rect procurement or variation,” Mr
Gicharu said in his presentation.
He also said that on 16 January, the con-
tract price was varied by an additional
Sh129 million ($1.5 million).
Mr Gicharu further said
that the “no objection”
letter issued by African Development Bank
boss Gabriel Negatu came on 28 January,
2013, 19 days after the award of the addi-
tional job to SHPE. Some PIC members
were not convinced by Dr Simiyu’s expla-
nation that the bank had concurred with
the board’s move.
“The assumption is that this coun-
try does not have procurement laws.
If we go by that route, then we’ll be say-
ing that every Tom, Dick and Harry can
come with their own terms and conditions
and then say, ‘this is the way I want my
business run,’” said Mr Adan Keynan, the
chairman of PIC. He said the arrangement
would be contrary to the Public Procure-
ment and Disposal Act, the Public Finance
Management Act, and the law of contract.
The MP said because the company
awarded the contract for two rigs after
competitive bidding, there was no reason
to award a third contract without going

through the same process.
“What guarantees do you have that you
would never have gotten someone else
who would probably have supplied one rig
probably cheaper than this contract you
awarded?” asked Mr Ichung’wa.
On 18 March, Dr Simiyu was asked
to make better preparations and submit
another presentation to PIC after he ap-
peared to contradict himself while under
pressure from the MPs.
“The way I see it, there are issues that
are not consistent with the questions that
we have asked. The best thing is for the
CEO to go back, give us the chronology of
events with all the necessary annexures,
then come back and meet us because

hired its first Kenyan-based em-
ployee and has since been on a
relentless campaign to unseat
its rival, Visa, from the dominant
position in the local payment
cards market.
Although he was not that first
Kenyan employee, Mr James
Wainaina has been in charge
of the crusade for the past 18
months as MasterCard’s vice-
president and business head for
East Africa.
During an interview, Mr Wain-
aina, who has worked in financial
services for 15 years, admits that
perception of customers in a mar-
ket that is still a Visa stronghold.
The jewels in the crown that
MasterCard is fashioning for it-
self are deals signed with Equity
Bank and the Kenya Commercial
Bank (KCB). If the two deals are
executed to the letter, MasterCard
is guaranteed that at least 10 mil-
lion of its branded cards will be
in circulation in the East African
market by 2018.
To understand the magnitude
of this figure, one needs first to
consider that there were 11.5 mil-
lion debit, credit, and ATM cards
in Kenya as of February 2014.
Whether the deals will propel
MasterCard to market leadership
will, however, depend entirely on
Visa’s counter-attack. Currently,

However, the company is not shy
about articulating its endgame.
“If you add up all the poten-

a sense around our aggression
and a sense that we want to be in

Mr Wainaina.

rising consumer in Africa.
Visa has vowed to make at
least 50 per cent of its revenue
from markets outside North
America.
Kenya, seen as a gateway to
East Africa, has proven irresist-
ible. In 2012, Visa established
its regional headquarters in
East Africa. That same year,
MasterCard restructured its
business for the Middle East
and Africa, streamlining the
reporting structure and set up
a regional office in Nairobi.
Commentators say that the
corporate restructuring will be
a key determinant in deciding
who emerges dominant. Al-
though Visa has set up offices
in Nairobi, the decision-mak-
ing power is still largely vested
in executives seated in South
Africa and at the global level.
“MasterCard’s secret is
partly in the operational model.
They have empowered the Nai-
robi office to make deals,” said
one banking sector player who
did not want to be named.
The new offices set the stage
for a flurry of activity from the
two firms. Visa has struck deals
with mobile operators such as
Airtel and retailers such as
Naivas to gain access to a
new market base. MasterCard
seems to be reading from a
similar script but has argu-
ably taken the stakes a notch
higher.
Where Visa has Naivas,
MasterCard has bagged East
Africa’s largest retailer, Naku-
matt. These retail sector deals
are significant in that they are a
shift from the traditional model
in which banks have primarily
driven the issuing of cards. In
this case, a merchant is in the
driver’s seat.
The Nakumatt Global Card
gives MasterCard access to
about one million customers
whose loyalty cards will now
be converted to double as pre-
paid cards. As of last week, Na-
kumatt had issued 300,000 of
the cards, 90 per cent of which
were conversions of previous
Smart Cards. According to the
terms of the MasterCard deal,

Nakumatt is expected to have
converted all Smart Cards into
Global Cards by October this
year.
“Active usage has also grown
from less than 70 per cent to
more than 90 per cent as at the
end of last month (February).
Active usage denotes cards
that have been used at least
nine times in the past three
months,” read a statement
from Nakumatt.
Even with all this activity,
both firms realise that to truly
capture the local market, prod-
uct and technology innovation
will be necessary. According to
Central Bank data, the average
card transaction in Kenya is
about Sh4,500 shillings. This
is a pointer to the fact that
payment cards are still largely
viewed as elite products.
In this market, as experi-
ence shows, success often
lies in going after the mass
market in sectors as divergent
as telecommunications and
fast-moving consumer goods.
Both Visa and MasterCard
are trying to address the cost

card payments by rolling out
cheaper mobile points of sale
(mPOS). This is expected to
eventually create an economic
case for merchants to accept
smaller value transactions by
card.
“Innovation is the game
changer in our business…
mPOS will create a cost-effec-
tive acquiring channel aimed to
service small to medium enter-
prises,” said Mr Basopo.
Growth will also come from
the youthful population and
both companies are trying to
capture these new custom-
ers while they are still young.
Since 2012, Visa has been run-
ning an online financial literacy
programme, Africa Money
Skills, which includes games
that are obviously geared at
the very young.
MasterCard, on the other
hand, partnered with the Uni-
versity Students Community
Organisation (UNISCOOO)
and Chase Bank to target the
15-29 year old demographic in
Kenya with payment cards.
In these non-traditional
partnerships, MasterCard is
replicating a strategy that it
is carrying out in the rest of
Africa.

Physical planning guidelines
set out in the document will
be in force for 20 years, after
which they may be reviewed to
fit evolving needs. The Depart-
ment of Physical Planning has
divided the buffer area into three
zones —A, B, and C— each with
its own designated use as well as
plot size limitations.
Although Zone C covers the
smallest area in the buffer area,
property developers in this
region will be subjected to the
most detailed regulations.
Across Mombasa Road, facing
the Konza techno city, Zone C1,
also known as Katheke Tech-

property jointly.
Alternatively, the government

and reallocate it,” said Institution
of Surveyors of Kenya chairman
Collins Kowuor (above).
Astronomical prices
Speculation on land around
the 5,000-acre area set aside for
the technopolis has gone a notch
higher, leading to an astronomi-
cal rise in land prices.
Surveys carried out by the
ministry indicate that land prices
have risen by as much as 2,400
per cent since 2008, when the
government acquired the prop-
erty on which to build the city.
A restriction on further subdi-
vision in Zone C2 (Malili Centre)
and Zone C3 (Konza Town) has
also been recommended.
Malili is an unplanned devel-
opment that has cropped up
close to the planned techno city
while Konza Town is built near a
railway station.
Due to its proximity to the
railway station, Konza Town is
252
set to become the region’s indus-
trial area, hosting factories and
housing for its workers as well as
those who will spill over from the
techno city.
About 42 per cent of the buffer
area will be dedicated to the con-
servation of wildlife.
This area, designated as Zone
A1 and Zone A2, covers ranches
to the west and north east of the
planned techno city.
Human settlement in this
area will be highly controlled.
Developments will be restricted
to hotels, nature trails, and other
tourist-geared businesses.
Zone B, which covers about 55
per cent of the buffer zone, will
be left to commercial agricul-
ture. The government plans to
empower land owners in these
regions with the technology
needed to adopt modern farm-
ing techniques that will see the
region, including Konza Techno
City, become self-sufficient.
The buffer area falls across
three counties: Kajiado, Makueni,
and Machakos. The three coun-
ties have been urged to cooperate
in managing the buffer area to
ensure that contradictory poli-
cies are not put in place.
“A joint board, Konza City
Management Board (KCMB),
should be created to coordinate
all the actors as indicated in the
plan implementation matrix and
enforce development contracts,”
reads the plan.
Already, the counties are
fighting over the location of the
planned technopolis. In maps
used by the Ministry of Lands
and Planning, the buffer zone
indicates that the techno city is
in Machakos. However, Makueni
has also laid claim to it. The re-
spective governors are in talks to
resolve the matter.
Once constructed, Konza City
is expected to create thousands
of jobs. Ukambani leaders have
bemoaned the delays in the com-
mencement of the project, citing
lack of political will.

the delivery of state-of-the-art jets for both
long and short/medium haul and the timely
completion of the expansion project by the
Kenya Airports Authority.
The expansion project is on course and
involves the construction of a second run-
way at JKIA and a new mega terminal, in-
creasing the airport’s capacity fivefold from
the present 7-plus million passengers.
Technical setbacks
“The latest update from the Kenya Air-
ports Authority is that Terminal Four shall
become operational by July and a new arriv-
als terminal shall be ready by the end of the
year… this points to great improvement,”
said the airlines’ chief operating officer, Mr
Mbuvi Ngunze.
The Dreamliner model was grounded by
battery problems in 2012 and has suffered
a number of other technical setbacks since
introduction but Mr Naikuni expressed
confidence in its safety.
“Our teams have so far visited other
operators with the Dreamliner and I can
say we have 98 per cent confidence level
in its safety,” he said, adding that much of
the earlier problems have been resolved in
subsequent planes.
He said the B787 Dreamliner’s first as-
signment would be the Nairobi-Paris route
as the airline looks to expand European
routes currently being served by its ageing
Boeing 767s. The airline has, however, set
aside two months to familiarise its pilots
and crew on the operations of the new
plane before its maiden commercial flight
in July.
Like other airlines, Kenya Airways has
been attracted by Dreamliner’s advantages
such as more cargo space and greater fuel
efficiency, achieved by increased use of
lighter plastic materials in place of metals.
The 787-8 model picked by the national
carrier uses 20 per cent less fuel and has
the capacity to carry between 210 and 250
passengers on routes of between 14,200km
and 15,200km.
Fuel costs account for more than half
of KQ’s direct operating costs and the
airline is keen on cutting its expenses to
grow profits.
The arrival of the new bird follows hot
on the heels of the start of Kenya Airways’
low cost airline, Jambojet, which is due to
launch flight operations on April 1, flying
from Nairobi to Mombasa five times a day.
Other destinations for Jambojet are Kis-
umu (twice a day) and Eldoret (10 times a
week), effectively taking over much of the
present domestic network of the national
carrier.
“We are pleased to be using Dreamliner
for our expansion plans, which will be both
more environment-friendly and economical
as we embrace the benefits of its design,”
said Mr Naikuni who is set to leave the
airline in November after a decade at the
airline.
Fledgling airline
Mr Naikuni, who took over the helm of
the airline in 2003, has spearheaded one
of the most significant expansions of an
African airline, perhaps only rivalled by
Ethiopian Airlines, which is sponsored by
its government. He has led the national
carrier from a fledgling airline with 25 air-
craft hauling about 1.4 million passengers
annually between Africa and Europe. The
airline now has 45 planes ferrying 1.9 mil-
lion passengers a year.

INVESTMENT

Egypt’s equity firm eyes bigger stake in its subsidiaries

EGYPTIAN PRIVATE EQUITY firm Citadel Capi-
tal has completed a $530 million programme of
buying additional stake in its subsidiaries.
The purchases are part of Citadel’s transforma-
tion into an investment company that will hold
majority stake in subsidiaries in core industries.
The equity firm with $8.3 billion in invest-
ments under its control, has 49 per cent stake in
Sheltam Railways Company, the largest single
shareholder in Rift Valley Railways that runs the
Kenya-Uganda railway.
In line with the plan, Citadel shareholders last
October approved an EGP 3.64 billion (Sh45 bil-
lion) capital increase. The closing date for the
first round of subscriptions was February 13 and
the second round is expected to be completed
this month, the company said last week.
“The acquisitions and add-on investments are
part of the firm’s ongoing transformation from
a hybrid private equity firm into an investment
company that will hold majority stakes in five
core industries: Energy, transportation, agrifoods,
mining, and cement,” the statement read.
The investment company added that it expects
to make additional asset purchases with a value
of EGP 132 million (about Sh2 billion). Earlier, in
October, following the approval of the sharehold-
ers at an extraordinary general meeting, Citadel
Capital launched a transformation process to
increase its capital by EGP 3.64 billion (about
Sh47 billion).
The firm said shareholders and investors, who

(Sh32 billion) to the firm’s capital increase plan,
in accordance with their contractual obligations.
The company said it intends to “use part of the
proceeds of the capital-raising to finance pay-
ments related to transactions that will see the
firm increase its stake at selected platform com-
panies”.
Non-core investments
Citadel Capital added that once the share issue
was completed, at par value EGP 5 (about Sh15),
the firm’s paid-in capital would increase from EGP
4.36 billion (Sh60 billion) to reach EGP 8 billion
(Sh120 billion). The company also announced
that it aims to exit non-core investments over the

REVENUE>> TOP-TIER BANKS MINTED BILLIONS IN PROFITS LAST YEAR FROM CUSTOMERS IN KENYA AND OTHER MARKETS IN EAST AFRICA

Banks cash in on appetite for loans

n improved macro-economic environ-
ment in 2013 saw commercial banks report
impressive full-year results.
The banks’ earnings increased in the period
because of a decline in the cost of funds and
increased credit uptake.
This is a departure from the 2011 and 2012
financial period, which saw many banks, es-
pecially the mid-tier and lower tier ones, bleed
from high interest rates. This significantly ate
into their earnings margin.
Many of them reported a significant drop in
profits while some even made losses. The banks
blamed the situation on the tough macro-eco-
nomic environment that had dragged on from
2011.
Mr Eric Munywoki, a research analyst at
Old Mutual, said a decline in interest rates
from around mid-2012 offered relief, mostly to
smaller banks.
Due to their limited branch network, smaller
banks in the mid-tier to lower tier category were
in 2011 and 2012 forced to mobilise deposits ex-
against the dollar. This was caused by rapid
credit expansion and a surge in the cost of food
and energy.
Last year, however, the story was radically dif-
ferent as top-tier banks minted billions in profits
from borrowers and other customers in Kenya
and other markets across East Africa. Sampling
the performance of listed banks, the Standard
Investment Bank noted that the industry results
were “in line with expectations, with improved
credit growth and continued cost containment
supporting earnings growth.”
Impressive growth
Some of the other banks sampled by Smart
Company to have reported impressive growth
include African Banking Corporation, Bank of
Africa, Equatorial Commercial Bank, Bank of
Baroda, Oriental Commercial Bank, and African
Banking Corporation (ABC Bank).
Equatorial Commercial Bank, a mid-tier bank,
returned to profitability in the period owing to a
significant growth in net interest income and in-
terest expense. The bank reported a profit-after-
tax of Sh55.6 million in 2013 from a heavy loss
of Sh481.9 million in 2012. Net interest income
in the period rose by 141.5 per cent to Sh828.5

million compared to Sh343 million the previous
year. Total interest expense declined by 38.9 per
cent to Sh916.8 million compared to Sh1.5 bil-
lion in 2012.
Bank of Baroda’s profit-after-tax rose by 42.9
per cent to Sh2 billion last year compared to
Sh1.4 billion in 2012. The bank’s interest income
rose by 42.9 per cent to Sh3 billion from Sh2.1
est expenses on customer deposits fell by 24.5
per cent in the period to Sh432.6 million from
Sh573 million previously.
Paramount Bank, another mid-tier bank,
benefited from the improved macro-economic
environment, posting a 29.8 per cent increase in
profit-after-tax to Sh87 million in 2013 compared
to Sh67 million in 2012. Net interest income rose
by 144.9 per cent to Sh310 million compared to
Sh127 million in the review period.
Lending rates
Bank of Africa Group’s banking arm’s af-
ter-tax-profit rose by 84.9 per cent to Sh755.7
million from Sh408.6 million the previous year.
Total interest expenses declined by 22.3 per cent
to Sh3.1 billion from Sh3.99 billion.
A recent Central Bank market perception sur-
vey indicated that commercial banks in Kenya
expect lending rates to decline further this year,
allowing for increased uptake of credit.
Banks project an increase in credit by about
25.8 per cent overall, with demand from the
private sector rising by 20.5 per cent to finance
imports, demand from small and medium enter-
prises, as well as to finance investment opportu-
nities in the counties and for firms’ expansion.

MANUFACTURING

Firm to set up Sh8.5bn

plant in Sultan Hamud
AN ALUMINIUM COMPANY will set up a
Sh8.5 billion manufacturing plant at Sultan
Hamud.
GZ Industries seeks to cash in on the
growing use of aluminium cans for packag-
ing beverages in the country.
The company, which has roots in Nigeria,
expects to start supplying products to the
local market in early 2015. The plant will
produce 1.2 billion cans a year.
GZI’s chief executive officer, Mr Motti
Goldmintz, said the plant would supply the
growing East Africa market.
“The decision to invest in an alumini-
um can line follows a significant upturn in
Kenya’s canned beverages market during
the past two years and continuous demand
from Kenya. Total annual production of so-
das in the Kenyan market is reaching new
highs, with a record 371.4 million litres in
2011,” he said.
Aluminium can packaging has also been
growing in the beer market as imported
canned beer and soft drinks have become
the favourites of upmarket buyers.
Kenya leads the other East African coun-
tries in the beer market with production of
2.8 million hectolitres (hl).
Mr Goldmintz said the setting up of the
plant is fuelled by the demand from their
customers. Besides, he added, the project
is in line with Kenya’s Vision 2030, a de-
velopment blueprint that has identified set-
ting up of industries as the pillar for wealth
and job creation.
“We mark our entry into Kenya as a way
of contributing to the growth of the manu-
facturing sector. Besides developing the
economy, we hope to bring a new face to
Sultan Hamud and its more than 20,000
residents,” Mr Goldmintz said.
He, however, said manufacturing alu-
minium cans is highly technical and needs
special skills, which are lacking in Kenya.
This means that expatriates will play a key
role in setting up the plant.
Cut import costs
However, the firm said local people will be
trained to enable them take over the run-
ning of the plant.
The country imports cans used in packag-
ing beers and soft drinks and the new plant
will help cut the import costs in Kenya and
East Africa. The manufacturing of cans is
also expected to spur the export of Ken-
yan-made beers. The trade is currently
hampered by the use of bottles, which are
bulky and prone to breakages.
The plant will also explore other new
products with the objective of expand-
ing its local and regional market. The firm
is targeting Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia,
Rwanda, and Burundi.

the first time, the Finnish firm has

targeting emerging markets.
Its latest releases include the
Nokia X, Nokia X+, and Nokia

The latest Windows phones
are the Nokia phablets, which fall

The most outstanding feature of
the phablet is its six-inch screen,
which is a pleasure to flip through.
Unfortunately, it does not have
1080 x 1920 resolution that the
Nokia Lumia 1520 has. The screen
has been downgraded to a mere
high definition of 720 pixels.
The screen is, however, bright,

Nokia Lumia 1320’s screen is

Another magnificent feature of
the phablet is its latest version of
Windows 8, furnished with a wide
range of applications.
This brings an additional col-

screen, which means that there is
much more room to customise the
screen.
The phablet comes with se-

CUSTOMER CARE » LUCY KIRUTHU

Are our banks providing exceptional customer experiences?

FOCUSING ON THE overall cus-
tomer experience is more important
than ever before. The Kenyan cus-
tomer today has expectations similar
to those of customers across the
globe.
As customers we have a wide
choice of banks and can easily switch
from one to another instantly. The
banking sector has in the past dec-
ade heavily invested in transforming
its customers’ experience. The key
question, though, is: Are our banks
really providing exceptional customer
experience today?
I read the recently released EY
(Ernst and Young) Global Consumer
Banking Survey 2014 with great in-
terest.
The survey, titled Winning Through
Customer Experience, looks at bank-
ing through the lens of the customer.
EY surveyed 32,642 retail banking
customers across 43 countries, in-
cluding Kenya, between July and
October 2013. The report is a good
read and provides bankers with
myriad opportunities for continuous
improvement of their customers’
experience.
How do customers perceive their
banks? Every customer who holds a
bank account has a customer service
story, whether good, bad, or abso-
lutely ugly. The survey results tell a
customer service story that every
bank should listen to.
The report identifies three key op-
portunities for improvement, all of
which are applicable to the Kenyan
market. Banks that will take these
suggestions seriously will certainly
stand out from the rest.
The first key improvement area is
to make banking simple and clear.
The report highlights the need to be
transparent about what the banks
offer, the fees they charge, and how
customers can avoid the fees.
The need for banks to continue
building omni-channel capabilities to
provide seamless 24/7 real-time ac-
cess to banking is also highlighted.
Multi-channel approach
Most Kenyan banks have already
adopted a multi-channel approach
to banking. Is your bank keeping you
updated? Is it straight forward on
fees charged? Is the experience on
the phone, online, via mobile bank-
ing, and at the ATMs and branches
exceptional?
The second key opportunity for
improvement is helping customers
make the right financial decisions.
The report highlights that banks
providing customers with more and
better advisory services are likely to
grow. Customers say they are in need
of holistic advice on developing their
financial plans.
The survey proposes the need for
banks to use the data readily acces-
sible to them to personalise their
customers’ experience.
It also proposes the need for banks
to support customers with personal
financial management tools that
would help them save, invest, and
spend more wisely.
How many Kenyan banks are
proactively and genuinely support-
ing their customers to make the right
financial decisions?
The report finally identifies the
need to be proactive in anticipating
and solving problems as the third key
opportunity for improvement.
Customer service problems are
inevitable, but when customers are
satisfied with the resolutions they
stay on. The survey shows that most
customers satisfied with problem
resolution stayed on while customers
very dissatisfied with the resolution
moved away. Are our banks making it
easy for customers to complain? Are
they following up to ensure complete
resolution? This is crucial in improv-
ing customer experience.
The banking sector in Kenya will
continue to be competitive. I am
more than ever before convinced
that exceptional customer experience
is the new competitive battle ground.

programme.
We at Virgin also find a flexible working pol-

we have introduced at almost all our companies
over the past few years, effectively mean that

can work whenever they want, from wherever
they want.
It was not easy to put this system in place:

MANAGEMENT » BY DAVID MUTURI

Continuous learning central to transforming an organisation

LISTENING TO LEADERS of great
companies that are making a huge
difference in this country and beyond
at the organisational performance
index (OPI) conference last week,
it was clear that there are certain
commonalities in their approach.
This is no doubt what has led to their
greatness. For a start, they have
all adopted OPI as their excellence
framework. Then they are focused
on people and the power of effective
communication.
In navigating transformation they
recognise the need to begin with the
people. In turn, the people will carry
the organisation to new heights.
They recognise that it is fruitless,
regardless of the good intent, to try
to transform an organisation into
greatness if the people are not keen
on embracing the culture of self-im-
provement through learning.
When the people embrace learning,
the organisation will also become
a learning hub. It will be flexible
and receptive to change. Learning
organisations draw from Charles
Darwin’s wisdom. It says that it is not
the strongest or the most intelligent
creature that will survive. It is the
most adaptive.
It is, therefore, a mark of danger
when people in the organisation have
no interest in learning new things.
This is made worse if the people find
safety, comfort, and protection in the
size and magnitude of their organisa-
tion. The number of atrophied great
organisations of yesteryear should
be a warning to present-day giants.
What befell those before you could
very easily be your fate tomorrow.
To engage people through a self-
transformation process is no walk
in the park. Much as it is necessary
and important, it is fraught with dif-
ficulties and even dangers. You will
have different people at the different
stages and levels of the transforma-
tion process.
Some will move through the
process while others will never get
started. You will have people who
are in denial; they do not want to see
change. To them, change is a bad
thing that only happens to others. It
is never meant to happen where they
are. Their comfort zone is never to be
disturbed. They will avoid and even
frustrate change. Much effort may
go their way but you will still see no
change.
Resistance and change are joined
at the hip. It is foolhardy for anyone
anywhere to expect to implement
any meaningful change without
meeting equally meaningful resist-
ance.
Do not be surprised if some peo-
ple keep on praising the past or are
angry and keep complaining for no
apparent reason. They are scepti-
cal about everything and are even
unwilling to participate. This, too,
is a stage. It is a checkpoint in the
journey. What is important is to move
on and not rest too much at the
checkpoint.
When you move on you will find
commitment. People will ooze self-
confidence and sufficiency because
of the knowledge and experience of
self-revitalisation. You get to know
that you can be so many different
things and do many things. You ap-
preciate your capabilities and flex-
ibility. You no longer have turfs to
protect because you hunger for new
and greater challenges.
Many personal initiatives will be
witnessed when most of the people
operate at this level. That is what will
drive the golden stage of explora-
tion and continuous renewal. There
will be a lot of energy, questioning,
and optimism. This can never be an
overnight journey, however. Yet it
should also not take forever, lest you
join the obituaries of the greats of
yesteryear.

STRATEGY
Kenya and Ethiopia to speed up deal to attain more robust business ties
Kenya and Ethiopia will fast-track the im-
plementation of the Special Status Agreement
(SSA) to enhance investment and trade be-
tween the two countries.
This emerged during a meeting of a delega-
tion of 60 members from the private sector and
the government from Ethiopia and their Kenyan
counterparts. The Ethiopian delegation was
visiting Kenya to look into possible business
partnerships between the two countries.
Speaking at her office in Nairobi, Cabinet sec-
retary for East African Community, Trade and
Tourism, Ms Phyllis Kandie, said Kenya plans to
venture into joint marketing and packaging of
tourism products with Ethiopia.
She said this would help the two countries
complement each other’s products and take

named CEO of the Year Britam Company

Year (Coya) awards gala night in Nairobi.
He was feted for his exemplary leadership
at the firm.
Mr Wairegi says his primary aim is to
maintain the company’s top position and
preside over its growth.
Having been in the company since 1977,
Mr Wairegi feels that the company’s suc-
cess is his obligation and has ensured that
its aspirations are in line with the employ-
ees’ ambitions.
“I have, therefore, trained employees in
all divisions on how to tap into the firm’s
success,” he said
Mr Wairegi says his journey with Britam
has been exciting. Seven years after join-
ing the firm, he realised that he could do
much more to help the firm realise its
objectives.
“I went back to school at age 48, studied
management and implemented everything
I studied in my every day office life,” said
Mr Wairegi.
“After rising to become CEO of the
company, I felt obligated to keep my brain
alert. I have done this by reading widely.
I network with achievers and ambitious
people worldwide. Most importantly, I
keep in touch with my employees and
exercise a lot.”

The insurer has a market capitalisation
of Sh35 billion and a share price of Sh20
