He noted that the digitization
initiative at the Judiciary has
been integrated into its approach
for transcription and data entry.
This, he said, has proven to be
effective and can be expanded
within the public sector.

“The digitisation of the Wambua noted that

Judiciary Pilot has been
very successful and can be
appreciated and upscaled
within the entire public
sector,” he said.
Dr. Gachugu also recog-
nized the vital role played
by the government and
private stakeholders such
as Kenya Private Sector Al-
liance (KEPSA), Mastercard
Foundation, and eMobilis in
supporting the digitization
project.
Speaking during the cer-
emony, the Senior Public
Policy and Advocacy Officer
at the Ajira Digital project in
KEPSA, Mr. Jared Maranga,
noted that digitization has
had a very significant im-
pact on the Judiciary.
“With digitization reduc-
ing the time to access court
documents by up to 80%,
there has been a notable re-
duction in case backlogs by
up to 60% in some courts,”
said Mr. Maranga.

that virtual proceedings

zation of documents, allow-

the department’s support
for the Ajira Digital Program
adding that the government
is keen on boosting the Pro-

infrastructure throughout
the country to enhance
digital technology develop-
ment and create job oppor-
tunities.
Mr. Jabanelauded the
Program's efforts in ad-
dressing the issue of unem-
ployment among Kenyan
youth.
“We need to develop use-
ful partnerships and drive
the digitisation project to
the next phase and ensure
that we help more youths

lem of unemployment head

some social media users
are increasingly misusing
digital apps to host and
stream live video sessions
of explicit adult shows in
blatant breach of the laws
of the land.
“Indeed, some apps are
being transformed into
digital brothels from mid-
night onwards and equally
worrying is the non-con-
sensual dissemination of
intimate images or videos
of individuals in violation
of privacy laws”, the CEO
said.
These activities, Wam-
bua said, are being per-
petrated at a time when
children, who are heavy
users of the internet and
social media, are at home
for the April holidays.
“As a society, we need
to step back for a mo-
ment and reflect whether
we are losing the values

the same to relevant gov-
ernment agencies and

propriate action”, said the

Use part of alcohol revenue Gov't signs bilateral labour deals

T
he National Author-
ity for the Campaign
against Drugs and Al-
coholo Abuse (NACADA has
urged county governments
to use part of revenues col-
lected from alcohol licens-
ing to strengthen alcohol
and drug addiction reha-
bilitation services in their
counties.
NACADA CEO Mr. Victor
Okioma says, most counties
are not keen on rehabilitat-
ing men and women who
have been ruined by excess
use of alcohol and drugs.
The NACADA boss ob-
served that the county gov-
ernments revenue collection
department had enhanced
most efficient ways of in-
creasing alcohol licensing
income in total disregard of
the type of liquor consumed
and its associated nega-
tive effects. “We are ask-
ing counties to use alcohol
licencing fees to rescue the
lives of alcohol and drug ad-
dicts in their counties,” Ok-
ioma told a meeting which
brought together national
NACADA boss Victor
Okioma
and county government of-
ficials at Nandi County ad-
ministration headquarters.
He proposed a committee
tasked to oversee the level
of alcohol and drugs addic-
tion at counties level which
comprises representatives
from both National and
County Governments in-
cluding other relevant non
state actors.
According to him, the
committee among other
things will be instrumental
in suggesting ways of help-
ing alcohol and drug addicts
so that they can be restored
back to their normal lives.
The CEO tasked the Nandi
County enforcement offic-
missioner Caroline Mueni
who attended the meeting
to ensure that no illegal liq-
uor making industries exist
in the county.
He revealed that such il-
legal liquor making points
use harmful chemicals
mixed with ethanol to ruin
the lives of many innocent
consumers.
Commissioner Mueni on
her part welcomed the idea
and said she had engaged
county commissioners of
Kisumu, Vihiga, UasinG-
ishu and Kakamega Coun-
ties to help identify and
crackdown on illegal liquor
making industries.
Jonah Bwambok, Nandi
County Government Direc-
tor for Liquor Consumption,
said out of close to Sh12 mil-
lion revenue expected to be
collected from alcohol bars
licensing, a portion will be
used to strengthen alcohol
and drug addiction services,
including operationalization
of proposed Kabirirsang Al-
cohol, Drugs Rehabilitation
Centre.
signed bilateral labour
agreements with seven
countries to assist quali-
fied unemployed Kenyans
secure jobs abroad.
Labour Cabinet Secre-
tary, Ms Florence Bore said,
so far, seven agreements
have been signed adding
that the initiative will ben-
efit thousands of Kenyans
in different cadres as the
government moves to ad-
dress rising unemployment
in the country.
Among the agreements
signed, she said, was be-
tween Kenya and Saudi
Arabia where about 130,
000 opportunities have
been identified for qualified
Kenyans to tap into.
Kenya, she added, was
looking beyond the gulf
countries which have tra-
ditionally absorbed Ken-
yan workers to ensure that
as many Kenyans as pos-
sible benefit from the pro-
gramme.
Negotiations, she dis-
closed, were at an ad-
vanced stage with Canada,
next week. They have as-
sured us that they have
about seven million jobs.
This is huge and we want
our people to benefit,” she
said.
To make the programme
a success, the CS said the
ministry was working on
packaging job seekers to
ready them for the avail-
able opportunities abroad.
“What we have as a
country is the human re-
source. People have gradu-
ated with various degrees
and courses but do not
have jobs. We want to sell
this out there and be able
to secure opportunities for
them,” she said.
The ministry, she added,
was in the process of re-
viewing existing bilateral
labour relations with dif-
ferent countries to safe-
guard Kenyans working
outside the country.
This comes against the
backdrop of Kenyans being
tortured and mistreated
abroad with the CS assur-
ing that the review targets
the government aims to
ensure that all Kenyans
who secure jobs abroad are
put in the right cadres, get
the right salaries and work
in a conducive environ-
ment.
Bore added that the
government was equally
developing a national la-
bour policy and a National
Labour Management Bill
to regulate and control re-
cruitment agencies.
This, she disclosed, has
seen the number of regis-
tered recruitment agencies
reduced from 900 to 500
adding that the vetting will
continue to ensure only
agencies that meet the set
standards are allowed to
operate.
Speaking at Tom Mboya
Labour College in Kisumu
during the World Day for
Safety and Health Celebra-
tions, Ms Bore asked all
unemployed Kenyans to
register with the National
Employment Authority to
benefit from the opportu-
nities being sought abroad.

arok-Kajiado Eco-
nomic Bloc (NA-
KAEB) has launched
a strategic plan for the pe-
riod 2022-2026 to spur de-
velopment in the region.
The launch, held at the
Maasai Mara National Re-
serve was led by NAKAEB
Chairman, Kajiado Gover-
nor Joseph Ole Lenku and
attended by Narok Governor
Patrick Ntutu, a number of
Members of Parliament,
Members of County Assem-
bly among other dignitaries.
Governor Ole Lenku said
the economic bloc is part
of the many fruits of devo-
lution, saying despite the
teething problems, devolu-
tion is yielding huge fruits
for the country.
He observed that though
the Maa-dominated coun-
ties are blessed with many
resources, the community
has remained behind eco-
nomically as they contribute
very little to the country’s
economy.
“Maasai Mara is the talk
of the world, our culture
is the best, we are number
one in solar energy, we are
number one in limestone
production, but we are the
poorest,” he observed.
The Governor, who is in
his second term, reiterated

the main aim of coming to-
gether being to share ideas
and common resources so
as to improve the livelihood
of the people.
“The Maa nation is not
contributing meaningfully
to the country’s economy
because of rejecting edu-
cation. What if we say, our
major problem is educa-
tion and then we major in
education,or we decide to
say, our major common are dying of drought. Then
problem is animal fodder, we will put all our energy
because our livestock in dealing with this chal-

specific when implementing
issues so as to deal with one
problem at a time.
Governor Ntutu said
the strategic plan will
strengthen the cooperation
by outlining the laws that
will guide the counties.
He committed to work
with the County Govern-
ment of Kajiado to ensure
that the two economies are
strengthened.
The elephant in the room,
he said, is the resources be-
cause without resources, it
will be difficult to imple-
ment the document.
He hence challenged the
Members of County Assem-
bly from the two counties to
pass legislation that will en-

the strategic plan.
Narok County Women
Representative Rebecca
Tonkei said there is a need
to bring educationists on
board to see how they can
improve education as the
best way to improve peo-
ple’s livelihoods is impart-
ing knowledge on them.
EmuruaDikirr MP Jo-
hanna Ngeno stressed the
need to look for alternative
means of energy and called
on the Maa people to adopt
and use biogas as they keep
many animals.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC TO SUBMIT COMMENTS ON AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDY REPORT FOR
THE PROPOSED KIGUMO TOWN SEWERAGE PROJECT, MURANG’A COUNTY
Pursuant to Regulation 21 of the Environmental Management and Coordination (Impact Assessment and
Audit) Regulations, 2003, the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has received an Environ-
mental Impact Assessment Study Report for the above proposed project.
The proponent, Athi Water Works Development Agency, proposes to construct a sewerage treatment plant
that consists of laying of 12.1KM double wall corrugated HDPE pipes (sizes 200mm to 300mm), construc-
tion of 10No. waste stabilization ponds(2No. anaerobic ponds, 2No. facultative ponds and 6No. maturation
ponds) designed to treat 1770m3 per day, inlet works, associated facilities and amenities in Kigumo Town,
Murang’a County.
The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures:
Impacts Mitigation measures
Vegetation Clearing • Compensatory planting of trees
• Vegetation should only be cleared along the project corridors and where
it will interfere with project construction and/or present hazards.
• The local community should be given a chance to harvest the targeted
vegetation if they wish so
• Areas to be cleared should be agreed and demarcated before the start of
the clearing operations to minimize exposure.
• Also, stage vegetation clearance is recommended.
Air Quality Pollution • Maintain construction equipment at high operational conditions to con-
trol emissions into the air.
• Notify the immediate neighborhoods on the potential odors during the
excavations.
• Use of sprinklers to regularly water construction sites, this suppresses the
dust menace at construction sites.
• People working in the sites with dust emissions to use dust masks to
prevent respiratory infections.
Excessive Vibrations and • Avoid night time construction when noise is loudest.
Noise Pollution • Conduct periodic noise measuring and monitoring to determine levels
and extent of harmful noise.
• Clearly label the high noise areas.
• Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) to persons operating with-
in or visit identified high noise areas.
• Sensitize truck drivers to avoid hooting especially when passing through
sensitive areas such as churches, residential areas and hospitals.
Impact on soil resources • Earthwork should be controlled so that the land that is not required for
the project works is not disturbed.
• Wherever possible, earthwork should be carried out during the dry sea-
son to prevent soil from being washed away by the rains.
• Excavated materials and excess earth should be areas cleared for im-
proving sight distance should be planted with grass to reduce erosion.
Impact on water • No grey water run off or uncontrolled discharges from the site/working
resources areas (including wash down areas) to adjacent Karuchu stream shall be
permitted.
• Water containing such pollutants as cements, concrete, lime, chemicals
and fuels shall be discharged into a conservancy tank for the removal
from site where applicable.
• The contractor shall also prevent run off loaded with sediments and
other suspended materials from the site/working areas from discharging
to Karuchu stream.
• Site compounds and stockpiles will be located away from Karuchu
stream.
Solid waste management • Contouring of spoilt site to approximate natural topography and drain-
age and/ or reduce erosion impacts on the site
• The contractor shall ensure that the placement of spoil is done in such
a manner to minimize the spread of materials and the impact on sur-
rounding vegetation and that no materials creep into no-go zone areas.
Land take • Undertake a Resettlement Action Plan, which will act as guide for the
compensation activities.
Labor Influx Impact • Effective community engagement and strong grievance mechanisms on
matters related to labor.
• Effective contractual obligations for the contractor to adhere to the mit-
igation of risk against labor influx, the contractor should engage a local
community liaison person as provided for in chapter 6
• Proper records of labor force on site while avoiding child and forced
labor.
• Comply to provision of WIBA 2007
Human Right and Gender • Mainstream Gender Inclusivity in hiring of workers and entire Project

ed by the project including Sexual Exposure and Abuse (SEA).
• All staff of the contractor must sign, committing themselves towards

To begin with, the US and Kenya last week

other economic opportunities for its citizens through
the agreements with the two powerful nations
President William Ruto with UK
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at
COP27 in Egypt last November. The
two leaders agreed to speed up
Kenya-UK investment talks.
“These efforts are expected to create at
least a million new jobs per year in Kenya
and reduce food insecurity over the next
five years,” the two countries said in a joint
statement from the US Department of State
after the meeting in Washington DC.
Further, the US agreed to enhance Kenya’s
capabilities to counter violent extremist
organisations; promote regional security;
advance maritime surveillance and bolster
the country’s military academic institutions.
The Kenyan Military Airfield in Manda Bay
in Lamu will also be supported by the US
to counter Al-Shabaab and strengthen the
African Union Transition Mission in Somalia.
Besides counter-terrorism assistance, the
two nations will cooperate to fight cyber
threats and make the internet secure.
Under health, Kenya and US agreed
to deepen cooperation in HIV/Aids, TB,
malaria, immunisation, family planning and
reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and
adolescent programmes.
Dr Alfred Mutua, the Cabinet Secretary,
Foreign Affairs, who led the Kenyan side in
the talks alongside his Trade counterpart
Moses Kuria, said the US, whose team was
led by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, is
also setting up a framework so that Kenyans
can apply for jobs in the country and speedily
get visas.
These talks are expected to pave the way
for the US and Kenya to sign a full free trade
agreement (FTA). Kenya is, therefore, inching
closer to be the first sub-Saharan African
nation to sign a pact with US that will lower
tariffs between the two nations.
Kenya is optimistic that it will finish talks
on the deal with the US by the end of this
year and sign the agreement by April 2024,
said Mr Kuria.
According to experts, if Kenya fails to
secure the FTA under terms that include
70 per cent of exported products attracting
no duties in the US, this would place the
country in a precarious position compared
to other EAC countries should America fail to
renew the African Growth and Opportunity
Act in 2025.

Kenya, as other countries that are

the UK market.
The agreement, whose Council meetings
will be held every two years, will also see UK
exports to Kenya exempted from the raised
East African Community (EAC) tax charges
that took effect on July 1 last year, posing a
big dilemma for Nairobi, which is bound by
the regional bloc’s decisions.
The UK-Kenya trade is currently worth
Sh167 billion annually, but is expected to
rise as the former makes direct investments
worth Sh1.3 trillion this year alone.
“The UK and Kenya will go far when we
walk together,” said Jane Marriott, the former
UK High Commissioner to Kenya.
Under the agreement, the UK will eliminate
tariffs on 97 per cent of goods imported from
Kenya for 25 years, while Kenya will gradually
reduce tariffs on imports from the UK.
The agreement will save Kenyan exporters
over Sh1.5 billion annually in duties on
products like green beans and cut flowers.
The agreement also includes provisions
on trade, investment, intellectual property,
sustainable development, labour rights and
environmental protection and is expected
to create new business opportunities and
support economic growth in both Kenya
and the UK.
Kenyans, thanks to the agreement, will be
able to secure jobs in the UK. So far, about
2,500 UK businesses export goods to Kenya,
employing some 250,000 Kenyans.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Presi-
dent William Ruto during the Conference of
Parties (COP27) Climate Change meeting in
Egypt last November agreed to fast-track
Sh500 billion of investments, including
construction of the Nairobi Railway City
and dams.
Mr Kuria presented to UK investors invest-
ment opportunities worth Sh2.3 trillion
($18 billion), noting that, “EPA provides
a good framework for strengthening the
strategic cooperation between Kenya and
the UK in the areas of trade, investment,
research, innovation and development at
both government and private sector level”.
The agreement was beside the historic
signing of a Sh31 billion climate-smart
agriculture investment agreement between
the Kisumu County and United Green, a UK
conglomerate. ■

Dr Diallo said that the emergency hub

commended the commitment shown
by the Kenyan government in provid-
ing the land for it. With the hub,
Kenya will be equipped to protect its
people and respond to emergencies
with speed and efficiency. ■

T
he National Treasury is seeking to

remove the current ceiling of Sh10
trillion and replace it with a new measure
based on the gross domestic product (GDP)
for efficient budget management.
The institution said it is seeking to amend
the Public Finance Management Act (2012)
by introducing a debt anchor that is pegged
at 55 percent of the GDP.
Ms Monica Asuna, the Director of Planning
at Treasury, said that the new debt anchor
will enable the country to manage its budget

Monetary Fund on debt limit and reduce the
risk of default,” she said.
For the last two weeks, Treasury has been
taking the proposed amendment through
public participation across the country before
it is forwarded to parliament for debate and
passage into law.
Kenya’s debt stock stood at Sh9.2 trillion as
at the end of January and with the projected
net borrowing of Sh425.1 billion for this fiscal
year and a fiscal deficit of Sh720.1 billion in
the next financial year, the public debt is
expected to surpass the Sh10 trillion limit.
This means that Kenya may not be able to
borrow more if it does make amendments
to the debt law to enable it meet its debt
obligations and finance the fast, ever-growing
budget deficit.
The sharp growth in Kenya’s public debt is
attributed to increased external and internal
borrowing and the appreciation of the US
dollar against the local unit.

The institution said in a public notice that
it is seeking international lead managers that

to June 31, 2024.
“The reputable financial institution should
be duly licensed to operate in North America
and or Europe, Middle East, Asia to provide

Among other things, the firm will advise
Treasury on the optimal strategy for li-

Eurobonds, including but not limited to the
one that matures in June 2024.
Kenya in the fiscal year 2022/23 shelved a
planned issuance of a sovereign bond due to
unfavourable conditions in the international
markets.
Kenya’s Eurobond debt stands at 914.2
billion shillings and the country would repay
it until 2048, according to the Treasury. ■

of encouraging more girls to
shun the retrogressive cultural
practice.
Mr. Daniel Ntokoiwan, a village
elder, said the community had
agreed to put aside any cul-
tural practice which was in-
imical to the well-being of the
girl child by engaging in pro-
ductive activities which will be
beneficial to the community.
“I personally donated land
where COVAW was training
the girls. They have undergone
several trainings on Gender
Based Violence (GBV) and we
are sure they will be a light to
the community,” he said.
Mr. Ntokoiwan observed that
cases of teenage pregnancy
and early marriages had de-
creased since the training
began a year ago, lauding the

do not guide our children, they
may end up joining bad com-
pany,” said the elder.
He also challenged residents
to report cases of FGM and
early marriages to the au-
thorities early enough so as
to arrest and prosecute the
perpetrators.
Mary Masako, a NyumbaKumi
representative, challenged the
community to ‘say no’ to FGM
since it is retrogressive and il-
legal.
“I have not heard anywhere
in the bible where FGM was
done. We have been practic-
ing FGM for very many years
but we have not seen any ben-
efits. This is the time we stop
with this retrogressive culture
and focus on building the so-
ciety,” Ms Masako said.
