HAGUE TRIALS | Bensouda will present 42 witnesses after four dropped out but court yet to rule on time allocation
Ruto team allowed to challenge ICC case

Judges give new trial guidelines as crimes against humanity case facing Deputy President set to begin on September 10
BY BERNARD NAMUNANE
bnamunane@ke.nationmedia.com orty-two witnesses have been lined up to testify against Deputy President William Ruto when his case opens at the International Criminal Court in the Hague next month. Ms Fatou Bensouda, the ICC prosecutor, had initially planned to call 46 witnesses and use 413 hours to build her case against Mr Ruto and former radio journalist Joshua arap Sang. However, four witnesses have withdrawn their testimony while the court has described the hours sought by Ms Bensouda as excessive. Mr Ruto and Mr Sang face crimes against humanity charges over the 2007-2008 post-election violence. Some 1,133 Kenyans were killed and more than 500,000 uprooted from their homes in the chaos that ensued after the presidential election results were disputed. Incumbent Mwai Kibaki of the PNU was declared winner but ODMs Raila Odinga, his key challenger, cried foul saying the vote had been stolen. Mr Ruto and Mr Sang who were on the ODM side are claimed to have incited, financed and executed the chaos. Their case opens on September 10 at The Hague in the Netherlands. Mr Ruto will be CHRONOLOGY
required to be present in court when the prosecutor makes her opening statements. Also facing similar charges is President Uhuru Kenyatta, who was on the PNU side and whose case opens on November 12. The three judges hearing Mr Rutos case have allowed his lawyers to move a motion of no-case-to answer once Ms Bensouda concludes her submissions. The Chamber will, in principle, permit the defence to enter submissions, at the close of the case for the Prosecution, asserting that there is no case for it to answer at the end of the Prosecutions presentation of evidence, the judges said in their latest verdict dated August 9 but sent to the Nation yesterday. Trial Chamber judges Chile Oboe-Osuji, Olga Herrera Carbuccia and Robert Fremr said they would give reasons for inviting Mr Rutos lawyers to make the submissions seeking to end the case. They also said that Mr Ruto and Mr Sang will be given the opportunity to give their personal statements before the court. The judges also provided for the possibility of visiting one of the post-election hotspots should any of the parties in the case make a request for

At the next status conference to be held, the Chamber will seek the parties and participants views on this issue, with a view to reducing the Prosecutions estimates, the judges said. They said opening statements by the prosecution, defence and lawyers for victims will each take two hours although legal teams for Mr TO COMMENT ON THIS AND OTHER STORIES GO TO www.nation.co.ke Ruto and Mr Sang have been asked to agree on how they will utilise their time, including making provision for their clients to give personal statements. The Ruto defence and Sang defence may choose to re-distribute the combined time allowed for defence opening statements and allocate the time amongst themselves as they see t. Any statements from the accused persons should be made within the allotted time, they said. The prosecution and the defence will be allowed to use videos, photographs and maps during the proceedings. Copies of any audiovisual aids that they intend to use should be disclosed to the judges by September 5, one week before the trial opens. Ms Bensouda, who has already submitted a list of 10 witnesses she intends to call, will be the rst to make her submissions, including presentation of witnesses who she will examine and who will later be cross-examined by Mr Rutos and Mr Sangs lawyers. The judges can ask the witnesses questions at any time during the proceedings. The order in which the defence teams conduct their cross-examination of Prosecution witnesses will alternate every witness, unless they agree otherwise. Following cross-examination, the calling party will have the opportunity to re-examine the witness in relation to matters which were raised for the rst time in cross-examination, the judges said.

They further asked the prosecution and the defence to apply in advance if they wish the chamber to visit some of the sites which they will use in their evidence. If a party considers that a site visit should take place prior to the defence case, it shall le its application no later than two working days after the end of the prosecution case. In such an application, the party shall specify the locations which, in its view, the Chamber should visit and the purpose of visiting those locations, they said.

MPs yet to receive claims as pensioners cite delays

BY NATION REPORTER
MPs have not yet received their two-months mileage claims, some of them said yesterday, as pensioners complained of delay in disbursement of their benets. However, Treasury yesterday said it released July salaries for all civil servants about two weeks ago except for pensioners whose payments they are still processing. Treasury therefore urged all civil servants who have not received all their salaries to contact their banks because according to them, the salaries were released for processing long ago. We released salaries for July and its only pensioners who have to wait longer because we process their payments after we have dealt with all the civil servants, said Treasury spokesman Maina Kigaga. Mr Kigaga indicated that they had received complaints from customers of some of Kenyas two biggest banks who are yet to release salaries to some of the civil servants. We expected the last person to have received their salaries by Friday last week but there are some two big banks that have cases of unsettled salary payouts, said Mr Kigaga.

KENYA FIRSTS | At her desk as manager of a Barclays branch, she founded Kenya Women Trust Fund
Woman who paved the way for Kenyan female bank bosses
As the rst African woman manager, she helped develop policies leading to further nancial inclusion for women in Africa
BY WANGUI MAINA
Kenya50@ke.nationmedia.com n May, Anne Mutahi was named the chairperson of Standard Chartered bank, becoming the fth woman to chair a Nairobi Securities Exchange rm. Mrs Mutahi joins other highying women in the banking sector whose success today would not have been possible had it not been for those who went before them, more importantly Mary Elizabeth Okelo. Mrs Okelo was the rst woman bank manager in Kenya. She joined Barclays Bank, as the rst African woman management trainee, rose to become a manager before proceeding to help develop policies leading to further nancial inclusion for women in Africa. It was challenging. I was a woman in a mans worldit was all very intimidating, said Mrs Okelo in a recent interview at her oce in Makini School. We have come from far; just seeing women can walk into a bank today and transact or get a loan is satisfying. Her hard work in school and good credentials saw her go to London, in 1967, as the rst African woman management trainee. Barely in her 20s, she was in a new land facing gender and racial discrimination as she tried to adjust. This did not deter her, she worked hard and gained her diploma in banking as well as her husband, Dr Pius Okelo. Upon returning, she started working at Barclays. It was not easy balancing her new job and young family, she says. In the early 1980s, this balancing act was challenged when she got a promotion and a transfer to Nakuru. She declined the transfer, opting to stay in Nairobi to be with her family. They couldnt believe it; people were ghting for these positions. I am a decisive person and had to consider the impact my moving would have on my two children as an absentee mother and wife, she says. She had to wait almost five years b e f o re another opportunity came. Eventually it came when she was appointed to head the banks Westlands branch in Nairobi, a rst for an African woman. The move was both exciting and frightening for her as the branch was in the red and had low sta morale. Within a year she had turned it

ing sector. For me it is one of the happiest things I ever did. However much we shouted, if the laws remained discriminatory we could have gone nowherethe major thing was to give women the capacity to contract, she says. Earlier, Mrs Okelo had been seconded to the Africa Development Bank as a senior advisor to the banks president to help formulate women in development policies to be adopted by the nancial institution. Based in Abidjan, she spent threeand-a-half years before moving to be a vice-president of the Womens World Banking (WWB), of which she was a founding member and had served as a regional representative for three years, from 1985. She later moved to New York where she served as a vice president in the WWB, from 1991 to 1992. It was a challenging time going around the region seeking ways to help women. She spent a lot of time travelling in Africa and outside to help women access nances. Having lived away from home for many years, she was ready to return. In 1992, she took leave of absence and moved back to Kenya. Upon returning, she joined her husband in a business they had begun in 1978, Makini Group of Schools. Her passion for children and to educate had seen her start the school which has grown to be one of the leading institutions in the country. She attributes her success to the support she gets from her family and her faith in God. She still wakes up at 5am and goes to bed by 10pm, with most of her day spent at Makini School.

was an asset to them, she says. Mrs Okelo joined the banking sector at a time women in the country, and the region as a whole, were still viewed as second class citizens, a period she says they and children were put in the same category and treated as minors and lunatics. To open a bank account, get a loan or even get a passport, women had to have the consent of a man, mostly either their fathers or husbands. Before long she was moved to a bigger and more challenging branch, Harambee Avenue. She had also started a womens association in the bank mentoring them, challenging them to go to school and rise above their lowly positions. Many were tea girls, cashiers or secretaries. Her dedication to the bank saw her colleagues nickname her Mrs Barclays, a name she did not resent. At her desk in Harambee branch, she started Kenya Women Trust Ltd, known as Kenya Women Trust Fund (KWTF) today. This was after a visit to Amsterdam where she met colleagues who were addressing hurdles women faced trying to access credit and land. She came back and set up KWTF, inviting some 100 professional women to sign up and pay Sh2,000 each. With this money they could approach donors to support the organisation and assist other women to access nance. In 1994, she was named a member of a committee set up to look at all the antiquated laws that discriminated against women, like denying them the right to enter into contracts. She chaired the economic and bank-

DEVOLUTION | Cheserem team asks governors to stick to spending devolved funds as questions raised over decits
Counties put to task over billions in budget holes

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 million). These counties must nd alternative sources of revenue to fund all their operations. It is however good news for Busia county which will start the nancial year with a surplus of Sh522 million meaning it has more than enough money to fund its operations without having to look for additional funds to bridge any decit. The budgets for Kakamega, Bungoma and Kericho counties have been categorised as balanced, meaning that they have enough money to fund their expenditure but have no surplus. According to the team led by Mr Micah Cheserem, 25 of the 47 counties are facing serious nancial crisis because of huge decits in their budgets. The ten counties with the highest decits are Mombasa (Sh9.6 billion), Vihiga (Sh2.9 billion), Nyamira (Sh2.5 billion), Kisumu (Sh2.2 billion), Nakuru (Sh1.9 billion), Meru (Sh1.9 billion), Siaya (Sh1.7 billion), Migori (Sh1.7 billion), Laikipia (Sh1.3 billion) and Nandi (Sh1.1 billion). These counties must establish alternative sources of revenue if they are to fund all their operations in the current nancial year. Fourteen counties received a clean bill of health with Mr Cheserems commission declaring their budgets were balanced because they have neither decits nor surplus funds. These counties have enough money to run their operations without having to borrow from external sources. Only six counties a surplus. These are Kwale (Sh596 million), Busia (Sh522 million), Turkana (Sh301 million), Tana River (Sh233 million), Samburu (Sh163 million) and Tharaka Nithi (Sh143 million). Speaking during the rst meeting of the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council meeting chaired by deputy President William Ruto yesterday, Mr Cheserem expressed fears that operations in several counties could stall due to the budgetary decits. Look at a county like Mombasa which has a decit of almost Sh10 billion. How will governor Joho fund some of his operations with such a decit? He said that the CRA was in talks with counties with serious decits. These might be required to reduce their expenditure plans to achieve balanced budgets. Mr Cheserem also expressed concern that some counties such as Kakamega were factoring in as much as Sh2 billion in revenue to be obtained from donors. We are asking governor Oparanya, who are these donor and how does he plan to ll the gaps if they do not release the funds. Furthermore, we are liaising with counties like Kisii and Mombasa to understand the sources of the huge external funding that they have factored in their budgets. The Controller of Budget, Ms

Mr Ruto. He also said there was need for a law to stipulate that recurrent expenditure must not exceed 40 per cent of total revenue at the disposal of either the national or the county governments. This, he said, would free more resources for development and for the country at large to realise the benets of devolution. On claims that the national government was frustrating devolution, Mr Ruto said: I want to assure that the national government has no intention or any plans to hold even a cent out of the Sh210 billion meant for the counties, he said.

DEVOLUTION | Governments of devolved units to be in charge of agriculture, county health care and environment
Governors miss road, power projects

Transition team gazettes devolved units functions and retains civil servants pay, ECD at the centre
BY BERNARD NAMUNANE
bnamunane@ke.nationmedia.com ounty governments will not be in charge of major roads and electricity projects in their areas. This is according to a gazette notice on functions transfer published by the Transition Authority yesterday. The national government has also maintained its grip on early childhood education, supply of drugs, other medical commodities and construction of diesel power stations, saying it is allowing the devolved units time to build capacity to handle these roles. The task of overseeing payment of salaries and allowances for civil servants, the notice by Transition Authority Chairman Kinuthia Wamwangi says, will be retained by the national government for six months or as the respective counties will agree with the Treasury. Nonetheless, the authority in the notice dated Friday, has handed counties daunting tasks of agriculture, livestock and provision of county health services. The Transition Authority approves the transfer of the functions speci-
ed in the (Fourth) Schedule (of the Constitution) to county governments with eect from August 9, 2013, the notice reads. Even as the functions were transferred, Mr Wamwangis outt which has already deployed four nance ocers to every county says the National Treasury will continue paying civil servants salaries and allowances for six months. The gazettement of the roles ends the row between the government and governors, who had accused it of failing to approve the transfer of functions even after striking a deal with Deputy President William Ruto last Friday. The gazettement notwithstanding, the county bosses are likely to be irked by the decision to exclude roads falling under Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (Kerra), and the roles of Kenya Wildlife Services and Kenya Forest Service. The new centres of power have been restricted to roads including primary roads linking all sub-county headquarters and minor roads linking markets and administrative centres.

Atwoli defends Balala against bribery claim

BY NATION CORRESPONDENTS
Central Organisation of Trade Unions secretarygeneral Francis Atwoli has defended the Mining Cabinet Secretary over recent bribery claims made against him. Mr Atwoli (below) said Mr Najib Balala was a clean man and the allegation that he demanded Sh80 million from the country director of Cortec Mining, Mr Jacob Juma, was a fabrication. that Balala is not corrupt and get this from me. If you want to know corrupt people across the political divide ask me, I have the list. He is a man of dignity and he respects his job, Mr Atwoli said. He added that if there was any evidence implicating the minister, then Mr Juma should have communicated to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations or the anti-graft agency for investigation. On the allegations, Mr Atwoli said it was wrong for one to make such claims, The Cabinet Secretary should not be branded as corrupt just because he cancelled the 43 mining licenses issued by the government. Mr Balala is just restructuring the industry. He called on President Kenyatta to intervene and tame cartels springing up especially those in various sectors of the economy like sugar, oil, textile and now mining, to avoid losing revenue. Mr Atwoli was speaking in Mombasa when he addressed Kenya Plantation and Allied Workers UnionKericho branch members. See related story on page 32
Britain denies Sh80bn space funding plan

BY PAUL REDFERN
Nation Correspondent in London The British government has denied that it is funding Kenya to set up a space programme to take astronauts to the moon. But the UKs Department for International Development said Kenya and other African nations reliant on agriculture had a right to deploy weather and communications satellites. In response to an article in the Daily Mail newspaper which claimed that Kenya and Uganda were among four African countries who were in receipt of hundreds of millions of pounds in British aid which the newspaper implied were being used to develop the countries space agencies, UK Secretary of State for International Development Justine Greening told the BBC yesterday morning that: The so-called space programme that you are referring to was, in fact, investment in satellites for weather satellites and for communication. The Mail article claimed that over the next five years Kenya would receive a total of 596 million(Sh80.2 billion) in aid funds. While the paper acknowledged that the space agencies were in their early stages, it said they included ambitious and expensive plans for satellites and even rockets. Kenyas space agency was set up last year.

Kenyan faces terror case in the US

BY ANTONY KARANJA
Nation Correspondent in Texas A Kenyan is being held in a US jail after being accused of nancing Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations. Mr Mohamed Hussein Said, 25, who according to court documents is listed as a resident of Mombasa and Nairobi, is being held at a South Florida detention centre. He is accused of conspiring with a resident of Saudi Arabia who is also a US citizen, Gufran Mohammed, 30, to provide, and attempting to provide, material support to three terrorist organisations. On Thursday, the US Attorneys Office in Miami announced a 15-count indictment, charging both men with the oences. If both are convicted, they could each face up to 15 years in prison for each count or a total of 225 years. According to the indictment, Mr Gufran and Mr Said conspired to provide money and recruits to Al-Qaeda, AQI/alNusrah Front in Syria and Al-Shabaab in Somalia. The prosecutors say Mr Gufran wired funds to the Kenyan to support Al-Shabaab. Mr Said is also accused of wiring money to another individual believed to be a fund-raiser and recruiter for Al-Qaeda. The two men were arrested overseas and brought to Florida by FBI agents.

Fida calls for probe into rape of patient

BY NATION REPORTER
A lobby group has added its voice to those calling for the government to come clean on the circumstances that led to the death of a patient who claimed she was raped at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) while undergoing treatment. Last evening, the Federation of Women Lawyers (Fida-Kenya) charged that government authorities have been largely ineective and callous in dealing with the incident. In a statement, Fida-Kenya Chair Ruth Aura accused the police, oce of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the hospital of showing no respect for human rights and more so women rights in the way they have swept the case under the carpet. Fida Kenya calls upon the oces of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Inspector General of police to judiciously expedite investigations into the matter and commence prosecution of perpetrators within a denite time-frame. The accusations owed in even as the police said they have concluded investigations and are awaiting instructions from the Director of Public Prosecutions but could not state what their ndings were.
Killing spree suspects date with law fails

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
A man suspected to have killed several people and hidden bodies in and around his compound was not arraigned before a Kisumu court yesterday as was expected. Mr Harrison Okumu was expected to appear either at the Magistrates or the High Court to take plea in relation to bodies that were found in his compound two weeks ago. The suspected serial killer was arrested in Mombasa last Wednesday. He was later arraigned before court where police were allowed to detain him for a week before transferring him to Kisumu to take plea. Kisumu District Criminal Investigations Ocer Henry Ndombi said police wanted a psychiatric test conducted on the suspect before charging him. He said they would charge him today before the High Court after failing to get the tests done yesterday.

ROW| CEO accuses anti-graft team of violating his rights
Oswago seeks to stop searches in his homes

Polls team boss now seeks a court order to bar EACC from raiding his residence
BY PAUL JUMA
pjuma@ke.nationmedia.com lections boss James Oswago has moved to court to stop further raids on his homes, accusing the anti-graft watchdog of peddling wild allegations of corruption against him. Mr Oswago, the Chief Executive of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, has asked the High Court in Nairobi to order Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to stop searching his homes and ofce. He accuses the commission of violating his privacy and property rights, going against rule of law and natural justice and violating elementary standards of investigations. The respondent (EACC) never contacted me either in an endeavour to inform me of the said wild allegations nor did they afford me an opportunity to be heard and respond to the same, he says in his adavit. The commission already summoned him and he complied and gave information regarding the procurement of the Biometric Voter Registration kit and Electronic Voter Identication Devices used in the last polls, hence was not justied to search his residences, he argues. Last week, EACC detectives raided his Nairobi and Siaya homes at night and searched for documents and information relating to the suspect procurement of the poll kits that failed during voting on March 4. Lawyer Jotham Arwa for Mr Oswago yesterday led the suit under the certicate of urgency and presented the case before Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi. He is seeking an order suspending a magistrates search warrant that the commission relied on to conduct the raids and searches. He also wants any further raids on his property halted until his petition against the anti-corruption commission is heard. The Supreme Court recommended investigation for possible criminal prosecution of IEBC sta who may have been involved in malpractices during procurement of poll kits.Hearing is on Thursday.

Alcohol problem highlighted at fete

The drinking menace among young people featured prominently in the ongoing music festivals which are on their eighth day in Nakuru. In a captivating Luhya song by Mbale High School titled, Anami Watanda , the dancers played out as a family and community concerned that the key star in the song should stop drinking alcohol and become a responsible married man. This was in the arrangement of African Tunes and Melodies -Male Voices category being presented in the festival for the rst time. The song emphasised the need for teenagers to focus their energies on working to earn a living and develop their careers instead of spending time whiling away their time at trading centres. The senior bachelors were not spared either as the entertaining song delved deep into their drunken behaviour where they spit obscenities and blow away their hardearned salaries on booze and women. Mbales song, though thrilling and captured the hearts of the audience, emerged third in the hotly contested category won by Ingose Boys followed by a tie between Pumwani Boys and Strathmore. African folksongs and golden oldies dominated the stage yesterday during the ongoing Kenya Schools and Colleges National Music Festival.

Kambi, NSSF lose bid to block suit

Labour Cabinet Secretary Kazungu Kambi yesterday lost his bid to have a case filed against him by the sacked National Social Security Fund managing trustee struck out.

It had been abandoned at an Arizonas Hotel, about 40 metres from the Kampala Coach bus oces. Mr Paul Kilonzo, the manager at Arizons hotel told the police that on Saturday morning, an unknown African man entered the hotel and left the bag on the dining table. According to the CCTV footage seen by the police, the man walked into the hotel at 9.46 am and left two minutes later. He wrote a note and left it on top of the bag. The note read: If you get the bag, take it to Laico Regency. Ocers from the bomb disposal unit were called in and blew the bag

ILLEGAL IVORY TRADE
POACHING CRISIS | Lack of sti penalties blamed for increase in poaching
Kenya a major route for ivory smugglers

Report shows Kenya and Tanzania accounted for most of the ivory seized between 2009 and 2011
BY LILLIAN ONYANGO
laonyango@ke.nationmedia.com enya has been named as one of the major exit points in Africa for illicit ivory trade, which has been on an upward trend for the last six years. A new report says other countries favoured by ivory smugglers are Tanzania and South Africa. The study shows that transit locations along the way to the destination countries are Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Statistics by the Elephant Trade Information System (ETIS) indicate that Kenya and Tanzania together accounted for 16 of the 34 large-scale ivory seizure cases recorded from 2009 through 2011. The total volume of ivory seized was 35 tonnes and accounts for 58 per cent of the consignment impounded during this period. According to the report , elephants face the worst con-
Mash Poa wants its bus released

Owners of a bus that was allegedly found transporting Sh5 million ivory have asked a Kisumu court to order its release from police custody. Managers of Mash Poa Bus Company yesterday told the court that they were suering losses due to continued detention of the vehicle that was seized on July 27. The bus, which was carrying goods from Kampala to Nairobi, was seized by Kenya Revenue Authority ocers as it ooaded goods at Kisumus Kibuye market.
BACKGROUND
Countries risk trade ban

Kenya and seven other nations risk being slapped with trade sanctions after an international lobby group accused them of condoning the sale of elephant tusks. Elephant Trade Information System ocial Tom Milliken says Kenya, Thailand, Uganda, Tanzania, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines and China had been identied as major players in the trade.
servation crisis since the 1989 trade ban was imposed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. The ndings revealed in the report, Elephants in the Dust; The African Elephant Crisis, notes that the weight of ivory, whose main destination points are China and Thailand, is now roughly three times greater than it was in 1998. ETIS cites an additional 10 countries and territories as areas of concern because they are also sources of ivory, transit points or domestic markets for the illicit trade. These include Cameroon, Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Mozambique, Nigeria, Uganda and Taiwan. The report says more ivory is moving through these countries currently than in other parts of Africa. It adds that all along the trade chains, organised criminal syndicates are an active force undermining international and national regulations that prevent trade in ivory. In March, ETIS ocial Tom Milliken told the annual Convention on Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) conference in Bangkok that Kenya and seven other nations risk being slapped with sanctions after an international lobby group accused them of condoning the sale of elephant tusks. He said the nations at the heart of an unprecedented rise

According to the charge sheet, game trophies were among items that were being ferried by the bus. Police said they seized 28 pieces of ivory horns worth Sh4,650,500 and 53 ivory bracelets worth Sh530,000. The driver and his turn-boy were later arraigned in court and charged with illegal possession of ivory. They are now out on bond. Lawyer Nyamweya Mogusu for the accused pair yesterday said his clients were jobless as a result of the bus detention. He also said Mash Poa was at risk of being sued as several items had not been transferred to their recipients. The prosecution opposed the application, saying the bus would be forfeited if they win case in the end. Ruling is on Thursday.

magistrate Tom Okello made the remarks as he fined four Chinese traders Sh120,000 each for being in illegal possession of ivory ornaments worth Sh4.9 million. Since its introduction, ETIS has initiated the use of law enforcement data to track illegal trade in ivory. The ETIS data represents the largest collection of elephant product seizure records in the world, with over 19,000 cases as of January 2013, the reports reads in part.
China reiterates pledge to end ivory smuggling

The Chinese Embassy in Kenya yesterday said it is committed and is taking strong action to stop the smuggling of ivory to its country. Mr Shifan Wu of the embassys Chief Information and Public Aairs section told the Nation that his government had deployed mechanisms in China and Kenya to discourage the illegal trade. He said through the Chinese legal system, many criminals found engaging in the illicit ivory trade had been arrested, charged and jailed, with some facing life sentences. Mr Wu was responding to a report by the Elephant Trade Information System which said main destination points for the illicit trade were China and Thailand. The report also revealed that notorious transit locations on the way to destination countries were Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Mr Wu noted that many

The messages are sent by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Aairs.

The document forms part of the Migration Knowledge Series prepared by Igad, which aims to highlight the mechanisms and gaps in the migration sector in the region. Speaking during the launch, Igad Executive Secretary Mahboub Maalim (below) described Igad region as a source, transit and destination for immigrants.

This report will not only inform policy makers in the region to make right decisions but also provide literature for researchers, Mr Maalim said. According to the ndings, in East and Southern Africa, migration is treated as a security matter. In our attempt to understand migration in the context of human security, our emphasis is on the causal factors as opposed to the end-state. We argue that most of the causal factors have an uncovered intent behind them. And that this intent has a security nuance, the document reads. Mr Mutahi Ngunyi of The Consulting House, who co-authored the report, said security challenges faced by African countries as a result of immigration although addressed by law, need to be put in practice. The study was carried out in Uganda, South Sudan, Djibouti, Tanzania, Zambia and Kenya.

Legislators wasting time on sideshows

he past ve months have been dominated by debate about entitlements and perks of occupants of new oces such as Cabinet secretaries, governors, senators and county assembly members. This was bound to happen given that these are new oces, for which there was no precedence, and like with new creatures, have to face challenges of infancy. But some of the issues are not worth spending energies on. In fact, they only serve to derail the process of implementing the Constitution as they tie the nation in endless controversies. In the recent case, there is a row over who should y the national ag. Two separate Bills have been prepared for debate in the National Assembly and the Senate with divergent proposals. At the National Assembly, the proposal is to outlaw various ocials, including Cabinet Secretaries and the governors from hoisting ags in their ocial vehicles. In contrast, the Bill at the Senate is seeking to give the governors mandate to y the national ag. Granted, the ag is a symbol of national unity and patriotism and is protected in Article 9 (1) and the Second Schedule of the Constitution. What is not explicit is who should carry the national ag. Even so, it is deeply troubling when the Senate and the National Assembly spend energies on such matters when there is serious legislative work to be done. Moreover, they are forever taking diametrically opposed paths, which is not motivated by any principle but political and fanciful considerations. In this case, the objective is either to tame the likes of the governors or exalt them to spite the national government, neither of which is helpful. Clearly, the public is getting fatigued by these sideshows, and so the political leaders must focus on what matters.
RUMOUR NATION | Macharia Gaitho
Retain our top brains

lthough Kenya should encourage its professionals to seek employment opportunities in other countries to boost its foreign currency remittances, it also needs to do more to encourage those in the diaspora who intend to return home and contribute to nation-building, to do so. As it is, the country is losing some of its best professionals to countries like Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, the US and the UK. This is coming at a time when the ratio of key professionals to the population is below the standards recommended by the UN in such areas as health, education and security. A new report by Igad shows the trend is leading to loss of valuable human resources but there is a need for policy makers to seek ways in which both the country and the immigrants can win. For instance, the government can streamline the avenues for those investing while working abroad to secure their investments while creating conditions that would encourage those in the diaspora to return home and create more jobs. That way, the country will get revenues while the professionals can grow in their elds and still contribute to the betterment of their motherland. That said, there is still a need to address challenges that make professionals to leave in the rst place.

he inferno that consumed the Jomo Kenyatta International Airports international arrivals unit nearly a week ago provided a gold mine for rumour mongers and conspiracy theorists, and mostly with that peculiar Kenyan political slant. Facebook, Twitter and analogue conversations at the local pub, church, park bench, and everywhere else those with spare time gather, provided a bewildering array of takes on what or who was behind the blaze. Some, of course, was pure humour, and Kenyans are masters of creating jokes and very tall tales from the grimmest of situations. Maybe thats what keeps a mad country sane. But there were also stories concocted and told with the seriousness that depict perfectly, the deep ethnic-political schisms and the extent to which rabble rousers and hate-mongers will go to demonise those people. If we separate the humour in many of those conversations we see the destructive mindset that so often drives our political thought; a dangerous ethnic virus that infects so many Kenyans and can easily be used to incite hungry, angry, mindless automatons to murder and plunder in the service of the tribal eating chiefs.
Hate-mongers will even use JKIA disaster to demonise those people T

Forget Kamlesh Pattni and the joke that the Goldenberg scandal architect had motive to torch the airport after being kicked out of the Duty Free operation. More serious for me are all those rantings on social media, some by people I thought had a little brain, suggesting that depending on which side of the ethnic divide you sit, the perpetrator of the airport blaze was either former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, or President Uhuru Kenyatta. It started o as some light-hearted tweet about the leader of the opposition Cord alliance wreaking vengeance after being denied the use of airport VIP facilities by the Jubilee government. But the humour soon gave way to a dark mudslinging campaign against Mr Odinga openly spread on Twitter and Facebook by President Kenyattas social media brigades. The basic theme was that Mr Odinga was a dangerous character still smarting from the presidential election loss, who would employ all the dirty tricks he could to make life dicult for the Kenyatta administration. For those purveyors of hate, it was not about the use of airport VIP lounges, but part of a widespread scheme to destabilise the government. And so, for good measure, all manner of evidence was thrown into the malevolent pot. Everything from the teachers strike, the brouhaha over the school laptops project, delayed salaries for civil servants, the apparent government cash crunch, and noises being made by governors and senators pursuing a referendum on devolution, was oered as sabotage driven by Mr Odinga. The conclusion, inevitably, was that Mr Odinga must be dealt with, and the conversations were silent on whether it was the law or tougher extra-judicial methods to be employed. But from Mr Odingas battalions too, came destructive tales pointing the nger of blame at the government. A popular one was that President Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto needed to create diversion from their up-coming trials at the International Criminal Court. Therefore it serves their purpose to set

the airport ablaze, and generally cause chaos so that they can exploit a national crisis as an excuse to skip their dates at The Hague. The insinuation was that the airport re was just the rst in a series of manufactured incidents that will destabilise the country and make it impossible for the president and his deputy to be away. The interesting, and frightening, element is where the disparate conspiracy theories converge: A crisis manufactured by the government will be blamed on the opposition leader. Mr Odinga, or some of his close aides, will be arrested, provoking fury and unrest among his supporters. Widespread rioting and looting from Cord supporters, fuelled no doubt by the Jubilee dirty tricks machine and its National Intelligence Service partners, will provide the excuse for a brutal crackdown against all dissenting voices. They say that an idle mind is the Devils workshop. But why does our NTV spend good money on cheap, mind-numbing Latina and Nigerian fare?

WEALTH DEBATE | Nganga Mbugua
he story is told of a young woman who dated and later married a man who had shown an aptitude for running the marathon. One of the things I admire about him, she said, is that he has the potential to run just one race and make up to Sh10 million. Of course, we are likely to mistake such perceptiveness for gold digging, but the fact was that she married him before he won his rst marathon and, if her hunch turned out to be right, her children would never have to go hungry for as long as their father had use of his legs. Which brings us to the two questions that we, as a nation, need to debate one of these days. Do our public and private institutions pay sucient attention to the youthful talent in this country? Is the country alive to the potential of talent to solve the poverty jigsaw that has been a cause of national headache for the last 50 years of independence? From the sports arena, where Kenya has distinguished itself in athletics, cricket and the performing arts, such as the ongoing schools and colleges music festival in Nakuru, young people in this nation have demonstrated that they

have skills which, if combined with fair levels of education, can lift many families from the throes of poverty and expand the range of incomegenerating activities beyond employment and businesses. We have limited the options available to our youths so narrowly that if one fails to join secondary school, or university, we condemn them as failures. The same happens to those who successfully transit but fail to get jobs. In some countries, deliberate eorts are made to identify and tap talent even among children. A musician like Mozart started playing instruments when he was only three years old. It helped that his father was a performer, but how many parents in Kenya would allow their children to touch their tools of trade without slapping them at the wrists? The Williams sisters, who have popularised tennis across the globe, were trained from an early age by their father. In adulthood, they became world beaters. In Kenya, children who show a partiality for sports or other non-academic pastimes are quickly branded as good-for-nothing yet in that choice lies the potential to become an achiever in his or her area of interest. The world is replete with examples of icons who started putting their skills to good use early and became procient with age. Some of them achieved fame, and the odour of want has never assaulted their nostrils nor those of their children. Indeed, Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers among other books with far-reaching social impact, has argued that for anyone to become world class in a chosen eld, one has to clock 10,000 hours of practice. He gave the example of Canadian hockey players whose talents are identied when they are in the equivalent of Kenyas lower primary. Those with the physique, aptitude and predilection for the sport are
isolated and admitted to specialised schools. By the time they are in their early teens, they are already playing in the national league and some for the national team. The same goes for football in countries like Britain where these days, the transfer fees for just one player can surpass the annual budgetary allocation of some government ministries in Kenya. For many years, Kenyans have grappled with the question of how they can reduce poverty and improve their well-being. At one time, the government even set up the Poverty Eradication Commission, which no doubt, is still engaged in the pursuit for answers. But even as we wait for it to concoct the elixir of wealth, we must, in our own individual capacities, start asking not what the government can do for us but, more importantly, what we can do for ourselves. It makes no sense for young people, who are gifted in various ways, to waste away by the roadsides of sleepy villages when they are potential millionaires in waiting.

LANGUAGE AND DEVELOPMENT | Ogone John Obiero
Mr Odinga
Mr Musyoka
ounties other than Nairobi ought to entrench the use of mother tongues in their daily businesses. Skeptics will retort that this is not possible. Yet to debate or participate in development, people must rst be familiar with the language of local governance. With the knowledge of English in Kenya at 25 per cent of the nearly 40 million people and just about 50 per cent prociency in Kiswahili, nearly half Kenyas population is shut o from the experience of development made available only in English and Kiswahili. Ironically, more than 80 per cent of Kenyans are native speakers of the various mother tongues. Planning language use within the counties should now be a lot easier than the case was with the former provinces; county boundaries seem congruent with language boundaries. This is the case with Kisii, Embu, Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Marsabit, Samburu, Taita Taveta, Busia and Turkana counties. In some cases, several counties can use the same mother tongue. Why shouldnt Kikalenjin be the third ocial language in Bomet, Kericho, Uasin-Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Nandi, and Nakuru counties? How about declaring Kikuyu an ocial language in Kiambu, Muranga, Kirinyaga, Nyeri, Nyandarua, and Nakuru counties?
Make mother tongue ocial in counties C

Why shouldnt Kikalenjin be the third ocial language in Bomet, Kericho, Uasin-Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Nandi, and Nakuru counties?
The same can be said of Dholuo in Siaya, Migori, Kisumu, and Homa Bay counties, and so on. To boost their prestige, the national government needs to recognise these languages as national languages. A case in point is Cameroon where all indigenous languages are national languages and where each one is allowed equal status and opportunities in education, so long as they can develop the material needed. Other examples where indigenous languages are recognised in public spheres such as schools, hospitals, social services, the regional assembly, in the local courts etc include Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, and to some extent South Africa. However, among the deterring factors to be overcome is cost. Justifying the use of cash and manpower in developing, publishing, and distributing materials in local languages when there are real
problems such as lack of food, shelter and healthcare, remains a challenge. But on the ip side, the eects of these are mitigated when people become literate in their mother tongues. A literacy campaign in mother tongue has the potential of lowering dropout rates and making the educational system more eective for county aairs. Outside school, more people will then be able to participate in matters of county development more directly. This is as opposed to the current situation in which literacy appears limited to English or Kiswahili. Convincing county ocials and the national government that it is possible to turn our mother tongues into languages of wider communication will take some vigorous advocacy. The fact that Kenya has no national language institute to coordinate language planning does not help matters. This leaves the two national assemblies as the sole language managers. But the big question is whether national governments can be trusted with the protection of regional languages, especially considering national governments usually favour the unity myth ahead of diversity.

I was at the JKIA airport to see o my sister travelling to Mumbai. I parked at the beautiful new parking lot and went to the domestic departure section since all international ights were now ying from there. I met students wearing T-shirts which read: I have a licence to show kindness. All were eager to help the passengers carry their bags to departure area. I saw a huge queue I thought we would take two hours. To my surprise the queue moved in 15 minutes and my sister was at the check out counter! The eciency of the airport sta was commendable. They were all moving around asking passengers their destination and leading them to the gate. BHARATI SAVANI, Nairobi

TALKING POINT
Travel warnings unfair given the number of Kenyans dying in US

he United States has a habit of issuing travel alerts against visiting Kenya and other African counties. They term our continent too unsafe. Regrettably, deaths of Kenyans living in the US have lately been in the headlines. Barely a week passes without news of a Kenyan murdered in the land of opportunities. In the last two months, at least 10 Kenyans have died in the US. Recently, police in Indiana shot dead a Kenyan identied as Edward Maina Mundia. In the same week, 21-year-old Felix Davy Achoch, a student at Ivy Tech Community College, died of injuries inicted during a beating by assailants in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. The killing left Mr Achochs family devastated and they would not have imagined something like this happens in America, as his brother, Foster Achoch put it. A 32-year-old Kenyan, Elisha Ogolla, died after being shot in unexplained circumstances in Dallas, Texas. Dallas County police were called only to nd the mechanical engineering student in a pool of blood. He had multiple gunshot wounds. Life in the US is stressful especially for immigrants who come from a totally dierent background Africa. The US is very individualistic and self-centred. Due to the hectic lifestyle, Kenyans have no social support. The dust is yet to settle after a US diplomat caused the death of Kenyan and another Kenyan has
Emails from correspondents
SHORT TAKES
ROGUE ASKARIS: The city askaris have over the years evolved into a law unto themselves. What more evidence do we need after we watched the terror they unleash on their captives? Corruption is rife in this force, as is inltration by criminals. They will arrest you for framed trac offences, alighting at undesignated areas, and a host of other oences. Their arrest is forceful even where it is unwarranted and can only rival South African police during apartheid. These wayward askaris are not above the law. JOE MUNGAI Thika TERRIBLE ROAD: The NakuruNyahururu road which is almost as busy as Nakuru-Nairobi road is the main artery that links western Kenya to the central and eastern regions of the country. However, the road is now dilapidated, with unscrupulous developers erecting structures all along its road reserve. Worse, the contractor assigned to repair it does not seem to have the capacity, machinery nor the technology for a project of this magnitude. For months now, he has camped on the road; with no work really going on. FRANCIS GITAHI NJENGA, Nakuru PARK ROADS: I am in support of S.R Athembo Onyuro from Kisumu as his letter of yesterday, Good roads will spoil the beauty of the Mara was spot-on. The majority of tourists originate from countries whose road network can only be compared to our airport runways ... so smooth. Their reason for visiting Africa is to experience the real African lifestyle, not a similar experience that they have grown up in and which we may not even be in position to provide. Modernising the roads in Mara will take away the fun for tourists. JEEN GICHUHI, Nairobi AWAITING AN ACCIDENT: I am a frequent user of the Eldoret-Nakuru highway, and I must register my disappointment with traders near Timboroa. The place is famed for its fresh farm produce like green peas, roasted maize, potatoes, carrots, name it. Donkeys which ferry these goods to the roadside market are left wandering and are now a major safety scare. Why dont owners tie the animals away from the road to graze? It is like people there have taken a wait and see stance, knowing very well that a nasty accident will soon occur before they can take any action? AEL CHEROBON, Nakuru
Contain lawlessness in the police force

Following the erce re that razed the International Arrivals Terminal at JKIA, Yahoo News carried an embarrassing story of how police ocers who were rst to arrive at the scene opted to loot money and electronics rather than contain the fast-spreading re and this explains why the re got out of control. At rst, I thought it was the usual Western propaganda but when the Nation carried the story, it was chilling.

Following the incidents, which can be said to be a safer place to be in, Kenya or America? No country has the monopoly of peace.

Americans should respect others and stop treating them as a risk to her people. KAMAU GITAU, Kiambu

Regardless of what many of us have been hearing about the US, at our hour of need, President Barack Obama has proved to be a real son of Kenyan by sending assistance following last weeks re at JKIA.

Giving Kibaki 25 cars in retirement is annoying

I read Rasna Warahs article (Nation, August 12) on, among other things the 25 government vehicles that retired President Mwai Kibaki is said to be keeping. She wondered why Kenyans are not talking about this. Perhaps I should I pat myself on the back. In the last few days I have written to the editor and my views were carried in the Nation. I asked the former First Lady Lucy Kibaki to talk on that matter, for I thought there was a bit of distortion in the story. If it is true, then this continues to indicate that the species called man is bound to do very annoying things. GITHUKU MUNGAI, Nairobi
Wajir South MP ill-qualied to comment on the miraa trade

I found last weeks article on miraa by Wajir South MP immature to tell Meru people to start thinking of a future without miraa. Imagine telling the people of Brazil to think of a future without tobacco. Thats crazy Mr Diriye! We know tobacco causes grave diseases compared to insomnia in miraa. Miraa plays a critical economic role for the people of Meru county. When you see farmers going directly to court over the issue, know that the ban has devastating eects. Nowadays, Meru County has the most intake in the university enrolment both private and public, thanks to the miraa crop just like tobacco in Brazil. The other day, local Muslim leaders were supporting the ban. Lets try to open up our minds on this ght against drug abuse. Banning economically viable crops will not help. A bad son will always be a bad son. Bhang is illegal in Kenya, but those interested in it will always smoke it. Many people in Meru region never chew khat. Lets not blame the crop for moral decay. Talking of divorce rates, low esteem and negligence of household duties shows the MP was mistaking miraa for alcohol. Worse still, given devolution, he poked his nose in other peoples aairs.

DEBATE QUESTION
Do you support Najib Balalas decision to cancel 11 mining licences?

GITHUKU MUNGAI: It was amazing to note that one of the mining licences cancelled by Mining Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala belonged to Dangote Kenya. The secretary knows the criteria that he used, but the said company is owned by the richest man in Africa, Nigerian Aliko Dangote. There is no briefcase business as far as this company is concerned. PATRICK IKAALE: I strongly support the decision provided he is in fair and on the right truck. He should be allowed to discharge his mandate. JOHN KYONGO: Yes, this is the only way we can end corruption on such major projects. Let it act as an example to other ministries. DENNIS JOHNSTONE ONYINO: If the granting of licences did not follow the set parameters of the ministry, then he is right. GITHAIGA MUIRURI: He was right, most of them are bogus. JOSEPHINE I KANGORI: Yes, he was right. Better to train our experts to mine through national institutions and have private persons to engage at the stage of sales.

Mumias workers call o strike after deal

Workers at Mumias Company have called o their strike after a deal was reached between union bosses and the miller. The agreement, which requires employees to resume work immediately and without victimisation, was reached in a joint closed-door meeting between the parties. It took place at the rms premises and lasted about four hours. The sugar rm was represented by the director of Agriculture Paul Murgor and his human resources counterpart Stephen Olieka while the workers were represented by Kenya Union of Sugar Plantation and Allied Workers (Kupaw) secretary-general Francis Wangara and the union branch secretary Bonface Mulomi. They are set to hold further talks in Kisumu on Thursday. Workers downed tools demanding for better pay and termination of contractual services claiming some of the contracts were not viable and had plunged the company in a nancial crisis. Mr Wangara said the workers expect the scheduled meeting to give a clear direction on how the problem cited by the workers will be addressed once and for all. We expect things to be done professionally for the good of workers, farmers and the company, he said. Butere MP Andrew Toboso accused an MP from Kakamega of doing business with the miller.

Ruto woos Coast with land promise as governors pledge to back Uhuru
Leaders promise to work with President and nd a permanent solution to squatters problem that dominated campaigns
BY MATHIAS RINGA
mringa@ke.nationmedia.com eputy President William Ruto has pledged that the government will resolve the land problem at the Coast as governors from the region pledged to back him. Mr Ruto said the government had come up with a blueprint to address the thorny issue of land ownership which had left majority of the people in the region landless. Mr Ruto noted that the government would address land injustices blamed for the large number of squatters at the Coast. President Kenyatta, he said, fully supported the comprehensive programme as part of government eorts to nd a lasting solution to the squatter problem. He said that Mr Kenyatta would personally put emphasis on the matter when he visits the region soon. We do not want our fellow Kenyans in the region to live like refugees in their own country, he added. Mr Ruto said the Jubilee Government was aware that they lost heavily to Cord at the Coast in the last General Election because of the land question. This time round, he said, the government was fully prepared to nd a solution and garner support from the Coast.

He called on the squatters to allow the government to resolve the matter rather than invade private or public land. Kilifi Senator Stewart Madzayo had earlier urged the government to nd a lasting solution to the squatter problem in the county. Mr Madzayo said it was appalling that about 90 per cent of Kili county residents were squatters after 50 years of independence. The senator noted that the problem of landlessness had hampered development as residents were unable to put up permanent homes. Many villagers, he said, had been aected by famine as they had no land to plant food crops. It is time the national government sorted out the squatter problem as residents have gone through hard times for the last 50 years, he said. Kili South MP Mustafa Iddi said more than 10,000 families at Mtwapa lived on private land. He said that although the landowners were willing to sell the land, squatters could not aord to buy it.

Island set to get second bridge to the North

A second bridge will be built to link Mombasa Island with the North Coast, according to County Executive for Transport and Infrastructure Mohamed Abbas. The new bridge, whose planning is still at feasibility study level, will link the island through Tudor behind Mombasa Technical University with Mishomoroni, Mr Abbas said yesterday. He said it had become crucial to have a second bridge to the north due to massive increase in motor vehicle trac which the Nyali bridge cannot handle adequately. He also disclosed that plans to rebuild the old Nyali bridge linking the island to the Tamarind Beach Hotel might be shelved due to heavy costs. This comes from recommendations by a technical team that visited several sites where the new facility can be put up. The alternative bridge would cater for North Coast-bound trac from Moi International Airport, which does not need to pass through the town centre.

Results of the recount place Senator Moses Wetangula (Ford-K) in the lead, with a margin of 1,108 votes over petitioner Musikari Kombo of New Ford-K. The total votes cast in the 49 polling stations increased from 22,026 to 25,429 after the recount.

The courts deputy registrar, Ms Caroline Kendagor, supervised the exercise which involved an inspection of copies of registers used in the six polling stations.

Petitioner Paul Posho Abwora, who is challenging the election of Mr David Were as area MP, had applied for scrutiny in 13 polling stations in the constituency. Mr Abwora had asked for the scrutiny to clear doubts on the outcome after the returning ocer told the court he had detected some errors while reconciling the gures. In his ruling, the Judge Ogola allowed the scrutiny of votes in six polling stations and said discrepancies in results during reconciliation of votes in poll stations excluded from the scrutiny would be considered in his judgment.

The raid brings the number of people killed in a month to over 20. The fishermen were shot dead in an ambush in Lake Turkana a week after four others were killed in renewed conict over shing territory by the Kenyan and Ethiopian shmongers.

Team to draft Bill on resource sharing model

Law will guide counties on how to divide revenue from shared facilities
BY PHILEMON SUTER
philemonsuter@gmail.com he Senate has set up a team to come up with a Bill that the will provide a framework on sharing of revenue from natural resources and other facilities shared by counties. It will also come up with the modalities of sharing the resources between the national government and county governments. Senate Committee on Devolution chairman Kipchumba Murkomen said the 15 member taskforce comprising among others Senators Agnes Zani and Stephen Sang, had began visiting various counties to identify the location of vital natural resources and facilities. These natural resources and facilities are perceived to be potential sources of conict particularly among county governments given that some of them are shared, said Mr Murkomen. The resources and facilities include game reserves, water catchments, regional authorities, minerals, educational institutions among others. Some communities do not benet from revenue accruing from the facilities in their localities and this was a likely source of conict, noted the chairman. The Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator said the Senate was focusing on formulation of a framework to resolve and give guidance on sharing of revenue. Mr Murkomen was responding to threats by ve MPs in his county William Kisang (Marakwet West), Kangogo Bowen (Marakwet East), Jackson Kiptanui (Keiyo South), Susan Chebet (Women Rep) and James Murgor (Keiyo North) who had vowed to take charge of Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company (Eldowas). The company manages the supply of water in the neighbouring Uasin Gishu County. The MPs were concerned that water pipes were dry in the source of the water ElgeyoMarakwet. The lawmakers had asked Governor Alex Tolgos to join them in the quest to compel Eldowas to remit to ElgeyoMarakwet a certain percentage of the revenue generated from the sale of water for the benet people in the source of the commodity.

Resettle Mau squatters, says church lobby

NCCK asks ministry to move with speed and look for other alternative land to allocate squatters
BY TIMOTHY KEMEI
timothykemei@gmail.com hurches have called on the government to resettle people evicted from the Mau Forest four years ago before the onset of the short rains. It was unfair and inhumane to leave them in transitional camps during this cold season, the umbrella protestant church group National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) said. NCCK South Rift Region coordinator Joseph Ngetich praised the Jubilee Coalition for showing commitment to the resettlement agenda. However, Mr Ngetich told a tree-planting ceremony at the Kericho cemetery that one of the biggest stumbling blocks to the process was the diculty in finding adequate land to resettle the evictees as well as processing documents of such parcels of land. The exercise has in the past been controversial. We are calling on the National Land Commission and the department of Special Programmes to work together and see how the documents for land identied for resettlement can be made available in good time to fast-track the resettlement, Mr Ngetich said. He maintained that the Grand Coalition government had erred when it forcefully evicted illegal settlers in the Mau. The NCCK official said a well-organised process of relocation should have been used. This would have ensured that such people were removed from gazetted forest land and given alternative land. If this approach had been taken, we would not be talking about IDPs living in transitional camps and the resettlement issue would not have stretched for such a long time, he said. At the same time, Mr Ngetich said the NCCK would plant ve million trees countrywide this month as part of its celebrations to mark its rst 100 years of existence.

One of our biggest projects is the conservation of the Mara ecosystem, he said. Mr Ngetich appealed to Kericho Governor Paul Chepkwony to construct a road leading to the cemetery.

Arraigned before Magistrate Lamin Mbai unrepresented, Mr Wowo pleaded that the court should consider my standing as former Chief Justice, and grant him self-recognized bail conditions. He denied the charges and said the oence he is charged with is bailable and a misdemeanour. O pposing Mr Wowo bail application the police prosecuting officer, Sergeant Manga said: Investigations into the case are ongoing, and granting him bail will likely jeopardize their case, adding investigations in this case are incomplete. if he is granted bail, he would likely interfere with state witnesses or even jump bail and the case is just for mention, said the prosecuting ocer. The trial Magistrate, Lamin Mbai, denied Wowo bail and remanded him in custody until 21st August . after gauging arguments of Wowo and the prosecutor, According to count one, Mr Wowo wrote a letter dated 3rd December 2012 to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) informing them that the registrar of the High Court Mrs Mariama Ceesay informed him (Wowo) that Mrs Amie Bensouda requested for records, which Mariama Ceesay refused and referred her to the Sheriff of the High Court Mr. Buba Jawo, information he knew to be false.

Last Friday, Mr Tsvangirai who is also the outgoing Prime Minister in a coalition government with his rival led a court petition seeking to have the results of the controversial elections set aside. He accused President Mugabes Zanu PF party of paying an Israeli company $10 million to manipulate the vote in its favour.

Whoever is elected will be elected with democratic legitimacy. That is my belief, he told reporters in the capital Bamako, adding that there had been a leap forward in terms of democracy in this country. The government has until Friday to make public the result of the run-o called after none of 27 candidates in the rst round on July 28 secured an outright majority but observers expect an announcement sooner.

Wanted Tanzanian cleric wounded in police shooting

DAR ES SALAAM, Monday
A controversial Tanzanian Muslim cleric was in hospital today after being wounded in clashes between police and his supporters who tried to block his arrest, police said. Sheikh Ponda Issa Ponda, head of the Jumuiya ya wa Islamu (Community of Islam in Swahili), a group not recognised by the Tanzanian authorities, was wounded on Saturday in Morogoro, some 200 kilometres west of Dar es Salaam. Police red into the air when stone-throwing supporters of the cleric blocked them as they tried to arrest him for inciting unrest, said police spokeswoman Advera Senso. It was not clear exactly what caused Sheikh Pondas injuries. In May, Sheikh Ponda was handed a year suspended sentenced for criminal trespass, after he and 49 of his supporters were tried for inciting violence and theft after the sacking of churches during riots in October. We wanted (Ponda) for several days but were unable to put our hands on him, said Senso, adding the cleric is now being treated in hospital in Dar es Salaam. It led to disorder in several places in mainland Tanzania and even Zanzibar. (AFP) after the sentencing in May, Senso added, without giving further details. No connection has been made between Ponda and the attack in Zanzibar last week, when acid was thrown into the faces of two British women by two unknown attackers. (AFP)

Ousted leaders supporters say they are ready to die if police raid their huge camps
CAIRO, Monday
upporters of Egypts ousted president Mohamed Morsy marched defiantly through Cairo on Monday in a new show of force after the expiry of a government ultimatum to dismantle their huge protest camps. Hundreds of demonstrators waving Egyptian ags and carrying pictures of the deposed president marched through the central Cairo neighbourhood of Ramses, as tensions rose over a threatened crackdown by the authorities. Morsy loyalists, led by his Muslim Brotherhood movement, have kept in place two sit-ins in the capital and have also staged almost daily demonstrations around Egypt against the Islamist leaders July 3 ouster by the military. The countrys army-installed interim leaders have repeatedly warned them to leave, even promising the Brotherhood a return to political life for an end to the protests. With over 250 people killed since Morsy was overthrown and detained, authorities say they are eager to avoid more bloodshed. The dispersal of the sit-ins will be gradual, with protesters given several warnings before police move in, senior security ocials told AFP. There will be a series of gradual steps.

Once the siege begins, the protesters will be surrounded, no one will be let into the sit-ins and the protesters will be given several warnings to leave, another security ocial said. This will last two to three days, he said. At the main Rabaa al-Adawiya sit-in, dozens of men wearing helmets and holding clubs on Monday guarded makeshift brickwall barriers. Some in the camp acknowledged that police will eventually break through if they want. We will have martyrs. It will be a high price to pay, but there will be victory in the long run, another said.

Israel to free 26 prisoners as row rages

Palestinians angered by move to approve new settlements in the West bank and east Jerusalem
MOSCOW, Monday
srael announced it will release 26 veteran Palestinian prisoners ahead of a resumption of peace talks on Wednesday, but at the same time angered Palestinians by approving new settlement construction. Israel on Sunday announced tenders for the construction of 793 settlement housing units in annexed east Jerusalem and 394 elsewhere in the West Bank in a move that infuriated Palestinians. As some Israeli ocials criticised the governments prisoner release, Palestinians slammed the settlement plan, while the EU urged both sides to avoid actions that could undermine the resumption of talks after a three-year hiatus. A special ministerial committee announced late Sunday it had approved the 26 prisoners to be released ahead of talks, according to a statement from the oce of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The names of the prisoners most of whom were arrested for killing Israelis

Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat
and Palestinians suspected of collaboration with the Jewish state were published early Monday morning. They are expected to be freed ahead of the start of talks Wednesday in Jerusalem between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators. The 26 constitute the first batch of a total of 104 longterm Palestinian and Israeli Arab prisoners to be freed in four stages, depending on progress in the talks. Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat underlined the importance of the prisoner release for peace talks to continue. We hope to put into eect what weve agreed on... we hope for the release of 104 prisoners. Each will return to his house. This is what weve agreed on, he told Israeli Arabic-language radio on Monday. There is a clear understanding between us and the Americans and Israelis. Any change (in that) will mean the agreement is o the table. The decision to free prisoners, however, has angered the families of those killed in assaults. This is a day of celebration for terror organisations, Meir Indor, head of Almagor, a group representing Israeli victims of Palestinian attacks, told AFP.

Deadly Typhoon Utor strikes Philippines

The strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines this year attened houses, caused ash oods and triggered landslides in remote towns on Monday, killing at least one person. With gusts of 200 kilometres an hour, authorities said they feared many more people may have died as Typhoon Utor swept across coastal and mountainous regions of the northern Philippines. It looks like the death and damage toll is going to go up...you can expect a lot of damage, Francis Rodriguez, of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. (AFP)

Record temperature as Japan heatwave takes toll

TOKYO, Monday
Broiling temperatures in Japan saw the mercury hit a record 41 degrees Celsius (106 Fahrenheit) today, after at least nine people died from heatstroke over the weekend. The nations weather agency issued heat warnings for 38 of Japans 47 prefectures, telling people to keep hydrated and use their air conditioners. Sweltering temperatures contributed to the deaths of at least nine people from heatstroke on Saturday and Sunday, Japanese officials and media reports said. Another heatwave last month claimed at least a dozen lives. Japans record temperature Monday was registered at 1:42 pm in Shimanto, a Pacic coast city on the western island of Shikoku, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. That broke the old high of 40.9 degrees Celsius in August 2007 registered in two central Japanese cities, the weather agency said. Temperatures have soared above 40 degrees Celsius for the third straight day across parts of Japan as a Pacic high-pressure system covered most of the country. Energy costs have rocketed after Japan shut down its nuclear reactors in the wake of the Fukushima atomic crisis two years ago. (AFP)

UK warships to visit Gibraltar as row heats up

Failure by Spain to remove additional border checks the main dispute
LONDON, Monday
he row between Britain and Spain over Gibraltar went up a notch on Monday as London said it was considering taking legal action over totally disproportionate border checks and Madrid threatened to turn to the United Nations. As the threats were made over the British-held territory, British warships began setting sail for the Mediterranean for a naval exercise that will see the frigate HMS Westminster dock in Gibraltar. Helicopter carrier HMS Illustrious steamed out of Portsmouth, to be followed on Tuesday by the type-23 frigate HMS Westminster, which is set to arrive in Gibraltar within a week. The defence ministry has stressed that the deployment of the ships for the exercise is routine and long planned. But in a hardening of Britains tone, a spokesman for Prime Minister David Cameron said the government was considering taking action over the checks by Spanish guards on the border of the rocky outpost on Spains south coast. The spokesman said the
checks, which have caused tailbacks of several hours for people trying to cross the border, were politically motivated and totally disproportionate. Clearly the prime minister is disappointed by the failure of Spain to remove the additional border checks this weekend, the spokesman told reporters. We are now considering what legal action is open to us. This would be an unprecedented step so we want to consider it carefully before a making a decision to pursue. On the border issue, Spain refused to stop the checks, which it countered were legal and proportionate. The threat from London came after Spain said it was considering taking the row over the disputed territory to global bodies such as the United Nations and the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Diamond Trust prot increases by 27 per cent

BY NATION REPORTER
Diamond Trust Bank yesterday announced a 27 per cent rise in half-year net prot to reach Sh2.6 billion, buoyed by increased interest income. The lender, which had posted a Sh1.9 billion prot in the same period last year, grew its interest earnings owing to a reduced expense which declined 24 per cent to Sh2.8 billion as at June 2013 from Sh3.7 billion in June 2012. The income was also boosted by a more stable interest rates this year. During the period, the loan book grew considerably to Sh94 billion, from Sh81 billion in 2012 with a corresponding 18 per cent rise in customer deposits to Sh113 billion.
We are in receipt of the letter from Cortec Mining Kenya accusing Mr Balala of demanding the bribe and we have commenced preliminary investigations
EACC vice chair Irene Keino
he national anti-graft agency has launched an investigation into allegations that Mining cabinet secretary Najib Balala solicited for a Sh80 million bribe from Cortec Mining Kenya in exchange for a mining licence. Speaking in a telephone interview to the Nation, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission vice chairperson Irene Keino yesterday conrmed receipt of a letter levelling corruption allegations against Mr Balala saying investigations could be concluded in two weeks. We are in receipt of the letter from Cortec Mining Kenya accusing Mr Balala of demanding the bribe and we have commenced preliminary investigations. The process before any recommendations are made could take less than two weeks, depending on the evidence at hand, said Ms Keino. The inquiry began as Mr Balala, who has dismissed the accusations, named a seven-member taskforce to review all the mining licences and agreements issued by the Mines and Geological Department from 2003 to date.
BACKGROUND
Cortec valued Mrima minerals at $100bn

Cortec was licensed in 2007 to explore minerals in the Mrima Hills in Kwale. In March this year, the companys mineral exploration licence was validated by former commissioner of mines Moses Masibo, transforming it into a special mining licence which was revoked by Mr Balala more than a week ago. Recently, Cortec announced that Mrima Hills contain rare earths and niobium deposits worth more than $100 billion.

Percentage rise in customer deposits to hit Sh113 billion in the rst six months of the year
Commercial banks have cut interest rate on deposits to between six and 12 per cent in the period down, from an average of 20 per cent a year earlier. This gives lenders a room to cut lending rates and grow their loan books. However, gross interest income declined slightly to Sh8 billion down from Sh8.1 billion in 2012, but this was diluted by the big cut in interest expense. Earnings per share rose to Sh12.12 from Sh9.26 last year. DTB, which has subsidiaries in Tanzania, Uganda and Burundi, said profit from the foreign subsidiaries increased to Sh300 million in the quarter to March, up from Sh223 million in a similar period a year earlier. The mid-tier lender set up a micro-finance unit in June to reach out to small businesses that form a majority of East Africas economy.

Headed by lawyer Mohammed Nyaoga, the team is required to establish whether correct procedures were followed before prospecting, exploration and mining licences were issued. On Friday, Cortec Mining Kenya, through its country director for Kenya Jacob Juma, said Mr Balala unsuccessfully solicited for the Sh80 million bribe leading to the revocation of its licence together with 42 others. Industry players are now raising concerns that the issue could result in court battles which may cripple mining activities and subsequently deny the country economic benets from the sector. Cortec has vowed to challenge the revo-

cation of its licence at the Kenyan court, the International Chamber of Commerce based in Paris, France and the Dispute Resolution Tribunal of the United Kingdom where one of its holding companies is registered. Cortec was licensed in 2007 to explore minerals in the Mrima Hills in Kwale. In March this year, the companys mineral exploration licence was validated by former commissioner of mines Moses Masibo, transforming it into a special mining licence which was revoked by Mr Balala more than a week ago. Mr Balala has since suspended Mr Masibo accusing him of presiding over irregular issuance of mining licences.
Share price up
Recently, Cortec announced that Mrima Hills contain rare earth and niobium deposits worth more than $100 billion. The announcement made the Pacic Wildcat Resources share gain 20 per cent at the Toronto Stock Exchange, but it shed nearly 60 per cent of its value after Cortecs mining licence was cancelled. Cortec Mining Kenya is owned by Pacic Wildcat Resources and Sterling Securities of the UK at 70 and 30 per cent shareholding respectively.

CFC Stanbic prot almost doubles in six months

BY NATION REPORTER
CFC Stanbic Bank prot almost doubled in the six months to June hitting Sh2.19 billion on the backdrop of increased interest earnings. The bank, which earned Sh1.2 billion in the same period last year, beneted from a low deposit regime that saw interest paid on savings dip by more than half to Sh1.4 billion after the Central Bank cut the lending benchmark rate to 8.5 per cent. This has seen CFC Stanbic, which is controlled by South Africas Standard Group, pay a Sh1.47 interim dividend for the rst time in two years. Its deposits remained at at Sh83 billion while its loan decreased marginally to Sh63 billion from Sh65 billion in June last year. CFC Stanbics volume of bad loans shrank by a third to Sh319 million, defying an industry-wide trend which saw

total non-performing loans increase by 10 per cent as at the end of June. The bank opened shop in South Sudan in June 2012 and broke even within the rst year. CFC Stanbic was quoted at Sh73.00 on Monday 0700 GMT, up 5.80 per cent or Sh4.00 compared to last weeks average closing price at the Nairobi bourse.
enya is wooing Japanese companies to invest in ongoing development projects as it seeks to strengthen the economic ties with the Asian economic giant. Addressing the Japan-Kenya Business Forum in Nairobi yesterday, Foreign Affairs cabinet secretary Amina Mohammed urged the Japanese business community to take advantage of the investment opportunities emerging in Kenya as it pursues its dream to become a middle-level income country by 2030. Huge opportunities exist in the construction of an ICT city (Konza City), the rst in East and Central Africa, the Lamu Port, South Sudan, Ethiopia (Lapsset) project and developments in the energy sector. These projects when completed will improve the lives of Kenyans and that of the regions residents. Ms Mohammed said there is great potential to improve the trade relation between the two countries which is currently in favour of Japan. This could be improved by Japan buying more tea, coee,
fruits and nuts among other products. Indeed Japan may wish to consider buying our cut owers directly instead of doing so through Europe, she said. The Cabinet secretary praised Japans announcement to provide assistance to Africa amounting to 3.2 trillion yen ($32 billion) in public-private initiatives, including 1.4 trillion yen ($14 billion) in ocial development assistance. Japan made the announcement during Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD V) held in June. Ms Mohammed said Japan is a leading development partner for Kenya with ocial assistance currently standing at about 514.69 billion yen (Sh419 billion).

Plan to boost dairy farmers production

Brookside Dairy has launched a training programme to help dairy farmers increase production. The training will cover breeding, milk quality and record-keeping. The project is in line with the companys plan to drive up its daily revenue. Brookside general manager Mr John Gethi said the training had kicked o in Nakuru and Nyandarua counties and would soon spread to other counties which host the companys milk sheds. Our model is to use demonstration farms, which we have identied in all major production sheds, to impart production knowledge to our farmers, Gethi said in a presentation at a farmers training session in Rongai, Nakuru. The general manager in charge of milk procurement and extension services said diseases are a major setback in milk production. Mr Gethi said maintenance of records is important regardless of the size of the farm. Apart from financial records, you should also keep event records of each animal, Gethi told the farmers. He challenged farmers to keep high quality feeds. Inadequate feeding in both quantity and quality is a major bane in the development of the dairy industry, Gethi said. Brookside extension services manager, Sebastian Kariuki said proper use of acaricides is vital in controlling diseases in milk producing livestock.

India joins elite club with launch of aircraft carrier

$5 billion project seeks to showcase the countrys power and check the rising inuence of China
KOCHI, Monday
ndia launched its rst indigenously-built aircraft carrier today a landmark moment in the $5 billion project that seeks to project the countrys power and check the rising inuence of China. When the INS Vikrant comes into full service in 2018, India will become the fth nation to have designed and built its own aircraft carrier, pushing ahead of China to join an elite club that includes Britain, France, Russia and the United States. Its a remarkable milestone, Defence Minister A.K. Antony said as he stood in front of the giant grey hull of the ship at a ceremony in the southern city of Kochi. It marks just a rst step in a long journey but at the same
Japans growth slows in April-June quarter

TOKYO, Monday
Japans economic growth slowed in the April-June quarter, ocial data showed today, raising questions about whether Tokyos bid to stoke growth was taking hold and if it would launch a series of tax hikes. The fresh gures paint a mixed picture of rming consumer consumption but little evidence that firms are confident enough to start big spending on investment. That will be a key consideration when Japans Prime Minister Shinzo Abes administration makes a decision on whether to usher in a series of sales tax hikes aimed at doubling the rate to 10 per cent by 2015. The increases are meant to generate crucial revenue to chop Japans eye-watering national debt proportionately the worst among industrialised nations but there are fears they could cut short Abes stimulus plan, dubbed Abenomics. Private investment was quite weak, which is one
time an important one. The ship, which will be tted with weaponry and machinery and then tested over the next four years, is a major advance for a country competing for inuence in Asia, analysts say. It is going to be deployed in the Indian Ocean region where the worlds commercial and economic interests coalesce. Indias capability is very much with China in mind, Rahul Bedi, a defence expert with IHS Janes Defence Weekly, told AFP. On Saturday, India announced its first indigenously-built nuclear submarine was ready for sea trials, a key step before it becomes fully operational. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called it a giant stride for the nation. All these are power projection platforms, to project Indias power as an extension of its diplomacy, Bedi added. New Delhi is spending tens of billions of dollars upgrading its mainly Soviet-era military hardware to bolster its defences.
Growth is strong enough to let the government introduce the planned tax hike, but its sensitive politically
Japan Research Institute analyst Hideki Matsumura
of the main factors behind the slower-than-expected growth, Japan Research Institute analyst Hideki Matsumura told AFP after the results were published. But all in all, the growth was not so bad and it is expected to get better in the coming quarters thanks to the weak yen and other encouraging elements. This kind of growth is still strong enough to let the government introduce the planned tax hike, but its sensitive politically. A nal decision will be based on politics, not the economy. (AFP)

Tugboats guide Indias indigenously-built aircraft carrier INS Vikrant as it leaves the Cochin Shipyard in Kochi after its launch yesterday.
Successes in its long-range missile and naval programmes have been tempered by expensive failures in developing its own aircraft and other land-based weaponry, leaving the country highly dependent on imports. INS Vikrant is two years behind schedule after problems in sourcing specialised steel from Russia, delays with crucial equipment and even a road accident

in which vital diesel generators were damaged. Overall, India lags far behind China in defence capabilities, analysts say, making the success in beating its regional rival in the race to develop a domestically-produced aircraft carrier signicant. Chinas rst carrier, the Liaoning, bought from the Ukraine, went into service last September. (AFP)

Overview: Revenue for the six-month period ended 30 June 2013 was Kshs.629.2 million, down 2.7%. The drop is attributed to the subdued economic activities in the period preceding the general elections. However profits before tax were up 28%, at Kshs.151.8 million due to cost control efforts as well as a generally low inflationary environment. Earnings before interest and taxes increased from Kshs.101.3 million to Kshs.121.7 million in the same period. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the same accounting policies as in the previous audited accounts. Outlook: The board expects that the stable macro-economic environment in the first half of the year will continue in the second half and the positive trading results of the Company will be maintained. Dividend: The board of directors have declared an interim dividend of Kshs 2.60 per share for the six-months ended 30 June 2013 (2012, Kshs. 2.00), to be paid out on or around 30 September 2013 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 6 September 2013.

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19 Try to remember that your strong sense of self can be misinterpreted by others understatement could sometimes be a more eective way for you to show your loyalty and express your generosity. Some people think you are a show-o, but this too is a mistake. PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20 Because you are extremely generous, you expect others to be just as big-hearted. So when you see others holding back, you nd it hard to not jump in and try to change that. You want to see everyone giving to the best of their ability. To other people, you can look like a bit of a tyrant. ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20 On the other hand, you also have a need to oneup others. A little more humility wouldnt hurt. You will get plenty of praise and recognition for your energy and your self-motivation you dont need to big-note yourself. People will instantly recognize your abilities, and many will look up to you. TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20 Your charisma and power are undeniable and from early age you have had a strong sense of your personal destiny. As a result dont be surprised to nd yourself assuming positions of authority and power and life. Some of you may even hold high oce,. GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21 You have an adventurous nature and like to explore the dierent avenues of life to make your life more exciting g. Culture, travel and higher studies are some of the dierent avenues which will draw you away from a conventional lifestyle to an independent type of life. CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22 Once you can bring these emotions under control you have a much better chance of not only being successful but nding happiness in your personal aairs as well. You have a strong ego and need to understand that others may just be right sometimes. LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22 You belong to a group of people known for their perfectionism and highly analytical minds. Theres a bit of a joke about how precise and demanding Virgos are but when you think about it, whats wrong with being tidy, organized and clean? VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23 You have a rather unusual preoccupation of being extremely fastidious and also critical of the world. Some of the people that know you feel as if your standards are way too high to live up to. If only they knew just how critical you are of yourself! You dont really expect any more of others than you do of yourself. LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23 When you do express your criticism of something its more than likely because youve analyzed and summed up a situation correctly before acting out your thoughts. While some people might nd this an annoying habit, others will never hesitate to involve you in their work. SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22 On the most practical level you really like to do things properly, meticulously by working through the work or service you perform on a daily basis. It doesnt matter how small or large the task, you take pride in how well you do it. You investigate things before diving in. SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21 Time is also important to you. So you like to make sure you use it well. It would be unusual to nd a disorganized Virgo. Of course having the right pen and paper to keep your lists is just as important so a favorite hangout for some Virgos. CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20 Some people think youre shy and unassuming but this is only because you cautiously like to analyze people You do have a keen intelligence and a capacity for learning but prefer to make your decisions based on sound judgments. To receive NATIONmobile horoscopes on your mobile, SMS the Star you want, eg LEO to 6667 at 5/- above normal rates.

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 Environmental Impact Assessment Study Report for the above proposed project. The Proponent (National Irrigation Board) is proposing to rehabilitate and expand an earthen canal of approximately 12km in Isinet for development of an irrigation project. The following are the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures: IMPACTS Loss of Flora MITIGATION IMPACTS Avoid cutting indigenous trees and vegetation within the survey area/ path of the water conveyance. Avoid excessive bush clearing where possible adopt re-vegetation around the water intakes. Minimize number of indigenous trees cut. A forestation and reforestation programs in certain parts of farmlands. Preserve certain sections for grazing purposes The integrity of the forest resources should be well guarded from the spillover effects of the project activities so as to maintain their functionalities. Construction within sensitive habitats should be avoided at all costs. Wetlands should be buffered by a minimum of 50 meters. Construction zone should be clearly indicated to prevent off site damage. Modifications of canal routes should be preceded by an ecological survey. There should be intensive tree planting Setting aside woodlands. The habitats diversity should be retained and protected by conserving them. There should be no cultivation on riparian sections since they serve as habitats for several animal species. Woodlands should be adequately established. Raw materials such as sand and rocks should be sourced from area without alien/ invasive species. The equipment required for the construction works should be clean and free from alien plants and mud which may contain seeds of alien species. Develop a training program for farmers especially on integrated pest management. Field sanitation should be adequately maintained. Best practices in weed control should be applied. Regulate water discharge and manipulate water levels to discourage weed growth. Movement of animals should be checked since some weeds are transported by animals. The weed debris shall be used for compost, biogas, and as fodder for animals. Provide dust masks to workers, Sprinkle water on the soil during excavation and land filling. Control speed of working machinery. Abate noise by sensitizing drivers in the project. Use manual labour as much as possible. Restriction of activities to daytime Workers within the vicinity of high level noise to be provided with adequate PPE. No idling of vehicles and machinery if not in use, they should be switched off. Control speed and noise of construction machinery. Insulate noisy machines and activities during construction to minimize noise. Unnecessary hooting is to be avoided as much as possible. Keeping all equipment and machinery free from mud. Having standard operating procedures while working along water resources. Apply appropriate irrigation procedures to prevent contamination. Sensible use of agrochemicals to prevent deposition into rivers. Adhere to waste discharge regulations. Compaction of loose material/soils. All repairs and maintenance work should be done at the contractors. Awareness creation to the local community. Adequate provision of mosquito nets. Better equipped health centers closer to the people with trained personnel. Boiling and treatment of drinking water if collected from water pools. Regular surveillance to ensure water does not stagnate. Stakeholder consultation and involvement in decision making at all levels. Compensation of land to the farmers. Provision of alternative land of similar value. Skip areas where the crops are maturing to cut on the losses. Measures to reduce loss of income to those affected by the relocations. Implement awareness creation for social evils such as HIV/AIDS and other STDs. Sensitize the community on the prevention and management of HIV/AIDS. Contraceptives should be provided at acceptable locations. Opening up of VCTs in the local health facilities should be enhanced. There should be adequate health facilities. There should be regular spraying of homes to control the presence of mosquitoes. Mosquito nets should be adequately supplied and at subsidized prices. The ground water abstracted for domestic use should be boiled or be treated. Dry up stagnating water regularly to prevent potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Use metering methods to abstract water. Develop water monitoring strategy and a routine for water distribution. Ensure Total Environment Flow as per WRMA regulation is adhered to. Avail drinking points for the livestock or build the water pans along the canal. Fence off the farms to prevent animals entry into the farms. Hold regular communal discussions and dialogue to bring mutual agreements between various land users. Encourage other modes of grazing such as zero grazing as it is less pasture demanding. Produce fodder on irrigated land to reduce the pressure on the pastoral land. Ensure 30%- 40% of River water allowed to flow downstream.

Harambee Stars forward, Stephen Waruru kick-started the goal rush by nishing o a owing move and clever assist by Kevin Simiyu on 12 minutes. Fast improving Evans Amwoka added the second goal and his third of the tournament six minutes later as the home team settled on the handsome cushion heading into the break. Ntibingana Charles goal halved the score for the visitors at the start of the second half. However, this setback only appeared to motivate the former KPL champions who added two goals through Kevin Amwayi and Kevin Simiyu to seal the victory.

Old tool Baraza scintillates in stale league weekend

BY ISAAC SWILA
iswila@ke.nationmedia.com Only ve goals were scored at the weekend in the Tusker Premier League action even as second placed Thika United a rare opportunity to close their gap with leaders Gor Mahia. KOgalo, at the apex on 37 points from 19 outings, had a quiet weekend after their much-anticipated thriller against Shabana failed to happen owing to unavailability of match venue. Thika faltered and let the opportunity advancing in points, settling, instead, for a paltry 1-1 draw against a stubborn Tusker side. Going into the match, the John Kamau-coached youthful side needed a win to trim KOgalos lead to three points, and now remain second on 32 points. Two out of the ve matches on the cards ended in scoreless draws, including that between Karuturi Sports and Chemelil Sugar, as well as that between City Stars and Western Stima. In the Tusker-Thika match, the exciting Francis Kahata, scored for Thika before Tuskers old tool, Jesse Were, equalized for Tusker. In Kakamega, Mathare Uniteds ship sunk further as they fell 0-1 to debutants Homeboyz who are equally experiencing a rough patch in the league. Noah Abich was on target for Homeboyz to give his side a temporary reprieve in a match in which numerous scoring opportunities were squandered. The highlight of the weekend, however, was the tie between former champions Sofapaka and KCB, with a deadly John Baraza (right), one of the most lethal forwards in the league, constantly bombarding the bankers defence to score a brace. Sofapaka are now in position six on 29 points.

The Gunners have made buying Suarez their number one priority, and have already oered a club record fee of 40million plus 1 to sign him. Liverpool have turned that bid down, and insist the player will stay put, but Arsene Wenger is increasingly condent he will get his man. According to reports in Uruguay, the Frenchman has already drawn up a fouryear-contract for Suarez to sign, that would see him take home 160,000-aweek (about Sh22 million) at the Emirates Stadium.

United up bid for Everteons Baines

MANCHESTER UNITED boss David Moyes is preparing an increased bid for his former Everton player Leighton Baines. United have had a 12million oer for the England international turned down but - aware of Moyes intentions - his Goodison Park successor Roberto Martinez has stepped up the search for a replacement. There is also United interest in Belgian international Marouane Fellaini but so far that has not been followed up with an ofcial oer. Despite top mideld target Cesc Fabregass public statement that he is happy to remain at Barcelona, United know the former Arsenal star is unsure of holding down a regular place. If that is still the case in the opening weeks of the season, United understand that an increased bid of 40million could secure Fabregas.
does not want the team to become too dependent on a player who turned 30 last Tuesday. It was a great header; 16 yards on the angle into the corner. He might not be renowned for that type of goal, but it was a brilliantly guided header from a long way out, Moyes said of Van Persies opener. Ive been really impressed with Robin because hes been easy to work with. Hes taken on everything. Hes been really receptive, hes been helpful. Paid tribute to Zaha We tried to manage him at the right times by playing him for some minutes and not (for others). Hes so important, we have to look after him and we will do at the right times. It just showed you today, he came up with the goods again with his goals. Moyes added: We have to be aware how often we can use him and Ill try and make sure I do that to the best of my ability. Weve got other centre forwards. Wayne (Rooney) wasnt t, Chicharito (Javier Hernandez) has an injury, so were just a little bit short at the moment. Moyes also paid tribute to 20-year-old new signing Wilfried Zaha, who produced an enterprising display on his competitive debut before being withdrawn in the 61st minute after sustaining a knock.

Defoe valued at Sh0.8bn

QUEENS Park Rangers have been told it will cost them 6million (about Sh840 million) to land England striker Jermain Defoe from Tottenham. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is keen to raise funds from squad players such as Defoe in the belief that Real Madrid target Gareth Bale will be staying at White Hart Lane next season. Steven Caulker has joined Cardi City for 8.5m and Spurs will also listen to oers for Emmanuel Adebayor, Tom Huddlestone and Andros Townsend. Defoe, 30, will only be a bitpart player at Tottenham next season, following the arrival of Roberto Soldado from Valencia for a club-record 26m, and both Levy and Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas are happy to allow him to leave if a club meets the 6m asking price.

Spurs in eager bid for Ajax pair

TOTTENHAM HOSTPUR have launched an audacious 15million double bid for Ajax stars, Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld before end of the transfer window. The Spurs move threatens to hijack Liverpools interest in the duo. The Reds have been long-time favourites to sign two of Europes most gifted young players whose contracts expire next summer. Both have turned down a string of proposed transfers this summer to wait for the right Premier League club - until now believed to be Liverpool. But while Liverpool have been distracted by the furore surrounding Luis Suarez, Spurs have made their move. (Daily Mail)

Soi the man to beat, not Mo, in mens 5,000m

BY AYUMBA AYODI
sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com Team Kenyas objective at the World Championships couldnt be clearer, and their spirit and determination lays it all bare. That target rings true in the mens 5,000m squad. Our target as a team is to make sure the four one us are in the nal, said Isaiah President Kiplangat, who won the national trials. Honestly, we should come out with, at least, two medals if all of us qualify. Kiplangat leads 2008 Beijing Olympics bronze medallist, Edwin Soi, 2012 London Olympics second runners-up, Thomas Longosiwa, and John Kipkoech in the semi-nal heats today. Soi, who has posted world leading times twice this season besides beating Olympics and World champion, Mo Farah, said he is bubbling for another showdown. Lets get done with the qualifying business rst and then talk about handling the nal, said Soi, whos also the 2012 World Indoor Championships silver medallist. Kenya has won seven out of the 13 titles in the 5,000m event at the Worlds, and was last won by two-time champion, Benjamin Limo, in 2005. Kiplangat indicated that a clean sweep over the distance is possible if they embrace condence, team work and good planning. Soi is the only man who has beat Farah since 2011 and I believe that is going to happen in this forum, he said. Kiplangat, who won the 2012 Diamond League Series, is keen to put behind last years Olympics op. He has personal best of 12:48.64, and holds the fth-fastest time this year, earned from his third-place (12:58.85) nish in Roma. Longosiwa (12:59.81) and Kipkoech will participate in the rst semis heat that has World Cross Country junior champion Ethiopian Hagos Gebrhiwet (12:55.73), and Yenew Alamirew. Kiplangat, Soi and Farah will face o in the second semi-nal that also has Commonwealth Games champion Moses Ndiema Kipsiro. Soi won the Eugene Diamond League leg with a world-leading time of 13:04.75 on June 1, beating Farah (13:05.88) to second place and 2007 World champion, Bernard Lagat (13: 07.76), of USA to fth. The 27-yearold maintained his form in Monaco on July 19, posting a personal best of 12: 51.34 to reclaim the world lead from Ethiopian Yenew Alamirew. Longosiwa, 31, who won in Rabat on June 9 (13:03.58), has the sixth-fastest time this year from his fourth place nish in Monaco in 12:59.81 while Kipkoechs season best is 13:01.64 from fourth place in Roma. The Ethiopians are tough, and so is Mo, but we are in great shape. I have the world lead, having beaten Mo and Lagat this season, said Soi. Kipkoech, 21, the 2010 World Junior 5,000m silver medallist, is also condent that Mo and the Ethiopians are beatable. All we need is condence and willpower, he reiterated.

explained Kipsiele. Today, the nation will hold its collective breath for a major silverware in womens 3000m steeplechase as Milcah Chemos, Lydia Chepkurui and Hyvin Kiyeng take part in the nal. Kenya has always settled for bronze since the womens steeplechase was introduced at the world Championships in 2005. Jeruto Kiptum won bronze at the 2005 Helsinki while Eunice Jepkorir went for a similar at the 2007 Osaka.
Chemos also win bronze medals at the 2009 Berlin and 2011 Daegu. Despite an injury locking out Olympic and World champion Russian Yuliya Zarudneva Zaripova, Steeple chase coach Boniface Tiren said his charges are going for a big surprise. They have put in place a mechanism that will stop Russians dominance at their home turf and bag Kenyas maiden crown, said Tiren. However, we must look out for the Ethiopians, who also have three athletes in the nal. Chepkurui (9:13.75) and Chemos (9:14.17) could be boasting of world leading times this season, but they are aware of the threat posed by the Ethiopian trio after the injury knocked out Zaripova. Ethiopian have London Olympics silver medalist Soa Assefa, who nished third in the semi-nal heat, losing to Chemos and Kiyeng, Etenesh Diro, who won her heat, beating Chepkurui. I know what is expected of us and for sure we got the best chance but I call on Kenyans to pray for us, said Chemos. It has always bothered me to keep on winning bronze but I hope for the best this time. Chepkurui said they are psychologically prepared and will be going for a fast-paced race. We all felt in great shape after the semi-nals. We shall take in rst in the rst three kilometres and see how our opponents will react, said Chepkurui, who hopes to tame her Diamond League form to the nal. We know the Ethiopians are good at the kick but we should tame that as early as possible.

Sanchez cruises, Greene struggles

Olympic champion Felix Sanchezs bid to become the rst man to win the 400 metres hurdles world title three times got o to the ideal start at the World Athletics Championships yesterday as he eased into the semi-nals. While the 35-year-old from the Dominican Republic who also won the Olympic title in 2004 was on cruise control, Britains defending world champion Dai Greene struggled to even make Tuesdays semi-nals. The 27-year-old Welshman, who missed out on a medal by one spot in the Olympic nal, said he had been suering from a fever. Sanchez, whose tears at the Olympic medal ceremony were one of the iconic moments of the Games as he sobbed at the memory of his late grandmother Lilian who brought him up, said it was too open a race to start making predictions. Its bound to be a close race as we have all been close to one another this season, said Sanchez.

Steeple sweep hope a balm for 800m op

ts hardly been a story of From Russia with Love from the Kenyan contingent here who, despite having one gold in the bag thus far, have hardly anything more to smile about. The developments in the mens 800 metres, in particular, stand out for severe criticism. How, for example, can Kenya not have single athlete in todays nal, just 12 months after David Rudishas world record run at the Olympics feat, which landed two Kenyans on the podium, Rudisha winning in a world record 1:40.91 and Kitum taking the bronze in a personal best of 1:42.53? Just how? Its a disturbing fact that after the Kenyan trio of Anthony Chemut, Ferguson Rotich and Jeremiah Mutai opped here at the weekend, that, for once in the championships history, theres no Kenyan in the nal! Kenya has always been a force in the twolap race for as far back as the championships go, now in their 14th edition, winning the gold medal four times through David Rudisha (2011), Alfred Kirwa Yego (2007), Paul Ruto (1993) and Billy Konchellah (1987, 1991). Kenya has always placed a runner in the nal, save for Helsinki 83 and Gothenburg 95, and for this unfortunate statistic to be repeated in this edition should be cause for worry for Athletics Kenya. The last men to suer the indignity of failing to reach the nal were the 1995 trio of Philip Kibitok, Joseph Tengelei and William Serem. On the bright side, our steeplechase tradition seems intact after the quartet of Conseslus Kipruto, Olympic champion Ezekiel Kemboi, Diamond League winner Paul Kipsiele Koech and Abel Mutai came through round one yesterday unscathed, and impressively so. It should be the same script in the womens steeple, with Milcah Chemos, a favourite after the last-minute withdrawal of hostcountry girl, Olympic and World champion, Yuriya Zaripova.

Medal-hunter Bolt still waxing optimism in his legend quest

Moscow o sooner had Usain Bolt happily claimed the 100m world victory than he shifted his focus to snagging two more golds in his never-dying quest to become a proper legend of modern-day track and eld events. Bolts blistering, world record-setting performances at the Berlin Worlds in 2009 were swiftly followed by treble gold at the Beijing Olympics. A blip in the Daegu worlds in 2011 saw him lose his 100m crown to teammate, Yohan Blake, after a false-start disqualication, but he rebounded for two more golds there before sealing a unique double treble at last years London Olympics. Bolt made no bones about his primary intention in the Russian capital: winning back the 100m honours. And he did so in emphatic style, clocking a seasons best 9.77 seconds
in heavy rain at the Luzhniki Stadium late Sunday, with American Justin Gatlin claiming silver in 9.85sec and Nesta Carter, also of Jamaica, taking bronze in 9.95sec. Jamaicans also nished fourth and fifth respectively - Kemar BaileyCole and Nickel Ashmeade (both in 9.98sec), and American Mike Rodgers coming in sixth (10.04), Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre seventh (10.06) and Briton James Dasaolu last in 10.21. I feel a little tired; I need some to rest, said Bolt after the sprint nal. But I will continue to work on my objective of becoming a legend by collecting gold medals and Athlete of The Year titles. And the 200m and 4x100m relays are yet to come, he added, with round one and semi-nals of the 200m on Friday and nal on Saturday, and the championship-concluding 4x100m relay 24 hours later. Bolt said there was no added pressure to perform going into the race. Its always about putting oneself under pressure, but I dont do that because I know what I want, he said. I go out there and compete, and compete to my best. Win, lose or draw, Ill always be happy because I know I went out there and gave it my best. Bolt added: Coming up to this race has been a long season. I had a few setbacks, but had condence in my coach (Glen Mills) that he was capable of getting me ready for the world championships. Im looking forward to running the 200m. I cant promise anything (regarding a new world record). Hopefully everything will come together, said the world champion.

Isinbayeva looks to re up home crowd

Moscow Russian athletics icon Yelena Isinbayeva can spark the world athletics championships into life today by winning her third womens pole vault world title and probably bow out in dreamlike fashion. The 31-year-old two-time Olympic champion - who has revolutionised her event as Ukrainian legend Sergey Bubka did the mens pole vault in the 1980s and 1990s - said in July she would retire after the championships in Moscow. While the mischievous former gymnast suggested after qualifying on Sunday she might not after all, the likelihood is that victory at the Luzhniki Stadium, where she won her rst meaningful title, will be sucient to get her to call time on her career. Certainly she is going to take a break and will then assess whether she is still good enough to compete at the highest level but having not won an Olympic or world title since 2008 her powers are already waning. I want to have a break and have a family, she said. I would like to be back for Beijing (2015 world championships) and Rio (2016 Olympics) but if anything goes wrong and I feel I am not at the highest level then I will announce my retirement. Organisers will be praying that she attracts a full house, something that has proved elusive so far with poor attendances. (AFP)

EDITORS DESK
ON THE back of a matatu plying one of the city routes is inscribed: Vehicles have spares, human beings dont. This best captures the essence of safe driving, both for private and public service vehicles. Curiously, though, the matatu bearing this wise inscription is not the best driven, judging from the careless manner in which it was being manoeuvred through trac on a chilly week day morning along a city road. Apparently, the driver had not read the words at the back of his vehicle, chose to ignore them, or intended the message to benet other motorists. Road safety and the need to protect lives does not lie only with the authorities and the laws that govern transport; it starts with you and me. When the socalled Michuki rules came into force, some modicum of sanity was reintroduced on our roads despite the initial resistance by most matatu drivers. In fact, during the rst few days of their implementation, most city residents chose to walk to work to help force public service vehicles to obey the law. But in a short while, as is usual in Kenya, things started going back to the old times. Today, it is not unusual to spot a number of matatus with excess passengers especially after 9pm. Some commuters, encouraged by touts, choose to ride while standing at a discount of Sh10 on the fare. The dangers associated with this kind of behaviour cannot be over-emphasised, notwithstanding the hard economic conditions that most city residents endure. Yet other matatus have come up with a piece of wood which they t between seats to accommodate more passengers. The conductors explain this away as extra income to cater for bribes to trac police ocers. What they do not tell us is that corruption is a two-way trac involving the giver and the taker. If ones vehicle was well maintained and has the required paperwork, there would be no need to fear the law. Resorting to shortcuts means that something is wrong with some operators. A well-managed matatu that is driven sanely will provide no avenue for bribery. Forget the latest rules introduced by former Transport minister Amos Kimunya and the accompanying hefty penalties. They have not changed anything. Overlapping, one of the criminalised oences, is back with a bang. Many drivers behave as if there are no speed monitors or trac lights. It is time we individually took responsibility for the safety of our lives. ABUNA AYIRO dabuna@ke.nationmedia.com

Prankster plants cannabis in town centre pots

Ocials in Newport, south Wales, are carrying out investigations after cannabis was found in ower pots around the city centre. The illegal plants were discovered among begonias and petunias in six boxes of the street ower displays by a local shopkeeper. Police were called but by the time they visited, the ower pots containing the oending plants had been removed. Local councillor Rhys Hutchings, who is also a member of Goldie Lookin Chain, said: Its either children or the Newport underworld community. Im pretty sure its not Alan Titchmarsh. Dean Beddis, who made the discovery, added: Its actually rather a beautiful plant and stood out wonderfully, but they have gone now. I dont know who took them. Either the council spotted them or some young type has spotted them and put them in his garden.

SHIFT KCB, BARCLAYS, AND NATIONAL BANK TO HOLD ON TO EARNINGS TO FUND GROWTH
Banks cut dividend payout to finance expansion initiatives

Increasing competition among top tier players is forcing them to adopt a number of strategies to keep aoat
ti competition in the banking industry is forcing a change of policy on dividend payout, with most institutions preferring to hold on to their earnings to build a war chest for growth. Half-year nancial results by banks have seen most big players reduce dividend payouts to shareholders. Competition is sti and banks need to meet other capital adequacy ratios in order to nance their future commitments instead of always having to go to the market to borrow funds, said Mr Kamanda Morara of the Ashanti Consulting Group. Some of the banks that have cut their dividend payout include Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB), Equity Bank, Barclays Bank of Kenya, and National Bank. Mr Morara said most of the funds paid out to shareholders were almost equal to the amount that banks were seeking when conducting cash calls either through rights issues or using other debt instruments. Last week, Barclays Banks chief nancial ocer, Mr Yusuf Omari, said the banking industry in Kenya was likely to suer strain to meet several adequacy ratios in line with regulatory requirements by the Central Bank. We are going to see a lot of strain in the industry to be able to meet those ratios, said Mr Omari during an investor brieng in Nairobi last week. The lender will pay an interim dividend of Sh0.20 a share compared to the Sh0.30 it paid last year as lower income from lending to homes and companies further hit. The dividend pay of Sh0.20 is the lowest in two years, having paid a similar amount in the rst half of 2011. It paid an interim dividend of Sh0.75 in 2010, the highest in the past ve years. Mr Jeremy Awori, the CEO of Barclays Kenya, said the bank had unveiled a three-year expansion plan that, other than the banks core capital base, requires more funds to implement as it seeks to regain its number one position in the sector. We also note the importance of reserving cash to maintain our core capital ratios in line with the regulators prudential guidelines, said Mr Awori, adding that going to shareholders to ask for more funds is the last option the bank would go for in case it had to seek funds. On the spot is also KCB, which has caught the eye of analysts over its core capital ratios compared with other industry averages. KCB is set to cut its dividend payout as it seeks to shore up its nancial muscle to support new investments. The bank has said it intends to raise the ratio of shareholders capital to assets, which at 12.4 per cent is below the industry average of 14.5 per cent. Banks are expected to back every
Varsity invents new device for cancer therapy

Researchers from Australias University of Wollongong (UOW) have invented a new technology that makes cancer therapy much safer and more effective for patients, especially children, the university said last week. Known as MOSkin, the device measures the amount of radiation patients are exposed to in real time during radiotherapy. The inventor of the technology, Prof Anatoly Rozenfeld, said it is important to ensure the safety of radiation therapy as nearly two-thirds of cancer patients undergo it during their illness. While contemporary radiation therapy is very accurate, quality assurance during the treatment is paramount because overdoses of radiation can induce chronic or acute side eects such as skin erythema, said Rozenfeld in a statement. MOSkin monitors the amount of radiation the skin receives and hence these side eects can be more closely controlled. Rozenfeld, who is the director of the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics at the university, said radiation overdoses could also increase the probability of secondary cancer. He said the device would help improve techniques to minimise out-of-eld doses, which are of particular concern in children. MOSkin has been developed into prototypes for a range of radiotherapy treatments and has been tested at more than 20 cancer centres, hospitals, and research institutions in Australia and overseas, according to UOW.

DIANA NGILA| NATION Sh12.50 lent out to borrowers with one shilling of shareholders equity. Last year KCB paid out 46.3 per cent of its net prot to shareholders, being Sh1.90 per share compared to Sh1.85 the previous year. Kenya Bankers Association chairman Habil Olaka said some of the prudential guidelines issued by the CBK needed gradual implementation, such as nancial ratios, but others required instant eecting. It denitely takes some time to implement some of the new rules, some of which have a direct or indirect impact to all stakeholders in the industry, said Mr Olaka. According to Mr Morara, most shareholders in Kenya have been used to an increasing dividend payout but the picture will change this year as banks cut payouts instead of making cash calls to either fund new plans or meet capital ratio requirements. However, banks like Cooperative will not be aected as much because historically, the lender has been mean and lean in its dividend payout to shareholders. Cooperative Bank said last year it would hold its 2013 dividend payout at this years level to preserve cash for expansion in Kenya and South Sudan. This means that the lender will maintain its dividend at Sh0.40, a level it held since last year. Managing director Gideon Muriuki said the dividend freeze would see the bank transfer an estimated Sh6.5 billion to its retained earnings ruling out the need for a rights issue or corporate bonds for fresh funds.

Managing creation and innovation

Title: Creativity and Innovation for managers Author: Brian Clegg Reviewer: Enos Nyamor eotieno@ke.nationmedia.com
It is almost a belief that for proper management to be dispensed, only serious individuals should be selected for top positions. In several instances, it begins with this complexity, looms about and ends with the same sophistication it began with. And for this reason it is natural to consider most managers dull. On watching the frequent acts of managers, the words creativity and innovation have to a larger extent been absent. Separating the talk from the action is a complicated process. Extending this discussion is Brian Cleggs book on creativity. Above the numerous complications on creativity and the need for it, Clegg shows that with an ample consideration, managers can actually be as creative as they come. Making an eort on creativity can at times be a vain attempt. Without a proper environment a try can be diminutive, and could even cause jobs for juniors. The process would practically be a sham so silence will be a remedy. Alternatively, with restraint, adds the author, it could be better to hold back from evaluation, both to allow ideas to be rened and to prevent participants from suppressing their own thoughts before they are even mentioned, for fear of being made to look silly. In comparison, it is also quite trivial that some of the greatest concepts that revolutionised the manner in which the world glitters emerged from the reins of creativity and innovation. For instance Thomas Edison, one of the worlds foremost inventors, cuddled up in a laboratory with fabricated glass trying to invent eective light bulbs, which would severally burst and disappoint, for observers this could have been more of an eccentricity. Even so the author also recursively expresses with vigour that creativity cannot be simply a gift for the chosen few; It can be a gift alright but without enhancement it will be repressive. However this is a load that drags creativity. For successful creativity to be achieved some measure of freedom has to accepted. Creativity , the writer adds, is a means to an end typically solving a business problem. As a result the author suggests two common creativity techniques. The rst involves breaking the problem into surmountable steps and the second reducing the problem to a lesser diculty. Besides there is also an empirical, scientic creative method derived for the business managers. As with most techniques it involves the awareness and the need for a solution at rst. This stage is followed by generation of answers, polishing outcomes, and implementing outcomes. By resorting to this analysis, the author merely takes the readers back to the beginning, for initially he had an interest in separating the denitions from the actions. It similarly rankles that the book is a composite of reviews on popular business and innovation literature.

OPPORTUNITIES SOUTH AMERICAN NATION PLANS TO INVEST IN INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENERGY
Now Brazil eyes a piece of Kenya

Smallscale growers can borrow a leaf from the countrys thriving farming sector
number of investors from Brazil are seeking a piece of Kenyas agriculture and infrastructure sectors. Brazil, the worlds sixth largest economy, 18 times the size of Kenya, has a well developed and mechanised agricultural production system that has boosted its food security. Speaking to Smart Company in an interview, Kenyas ambassador to Brazil, Mr Kirimi Kaberia, said he was in talks with several investors from that countrys agriculture and infrastructure sectors, who are keen to set up production lines in Kenya and enhance trade ties between the two countries. According to Mr Kaberia, Kenyas agricultural sector, being largely small, can import suitable machinery from Brazil, given that the two countries have similar geographic conditions. The unusual thing about these machines is that they are simple, easy to operate, and have worked very well in Brazil, said Mr Kaberia, adding; In the past, we went to the West (Europe and US) and bought sophisticated machines that are meant to cater for very adverse climatic realities in Europe, which cannot really work for the predominantly small holder farmers. Mr Kaberia said some

investors have visited the country and are considering putting up production lines to assemble agricultural machinery targeting Kenyan farmers and the larger East African region. Instead of bringing them in their manufactured form, we are telling the companies to put up production lines here, he said. The envoy said focus on increasing investment in agriculture and improving infrastructure like roads, energy, and water would enhance Kenyas food security initiatives, reduce costs, and create jobs. He said agribusiness has become a major part of his eorts to stimulate productivity from research to production and distribution and even other parts of the chain, like collaborations in research and development. Kenya, just like Brazil, is an agricultural country. Brazil has for a long time put a lot of emphasis on research and development in agriculture. This has enabled it to become one of the strongest food producing countries in the world, and that is what we can borrow from them, Mr Kaberia said. According to Pedro Cordeiro, the regional manager of Brazilian construction company Queiroz Galvao, which is setting up operations in Kenya, the country has a high growth potential following improvement in the business climate over the past decade. However, its investment

potential is hampered by challenges in infrastructure and energy, which he seeks to address. The company is in talks with the government over plans to decongest Nairobi. Brazil relies on its agricultural and mining sectors to boost its exports. The country is, for instance, the worlds biggest exporter of orange juice and soya bean. Other core exports include iron ore, oil, and raw sugar. The country, on the other hand, primarily imports raw materials, heavy equipment
and machinery, and motor vehicles. Its main trading partners are China, the US, Germany, Netherlands, India, and Argentina. According to statistics, Kenya exported goods worth Sh41.4 million to Brazil and imported goods worth Sh1.8 billion from the largest economy in Latin America between 1998 and 2007, signifying a huge trade disparity.

New market in Muranga to benet farmers

Thousands of farmers in the Central and Eastern regions are set to benet from a wholesale market for fresh produce to be constructed in Muranga County. The outlet, which is part of the Vision 2030 initiative, will cost Sh4.5 billion and will see fresh farm produce from Muranga, Kiambu, Nyeri, Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Kirinyaga, and Machakos counties sold there. The project is a joint initiative between Muranga County and the national government and will have modern cooling facilities to preserve produce. Construction is set to begin from March next year with the aim of realising the full potential of the agricultural diversity in the counties. Muranga governor Mwangi wa Iria said the market would have value-addition services to enable farmers to earn more. We are looking for 30-50 acres around Kenol area for the construction of the facility. The designing of the market is being done and construction will begin by March next year, said Mr Mwangi. The governor said the wholesale hub would provide a market for farm produce which usually goes to waste or is bought at a low price. It will be an exchange centre and will also help decongest the Marikiti (Wakulima) Market in Nairobi, he added. Mr Mwangi said negotiations between his oce and the national government over the facility had been completed. No farm produce from this area will be going to waste as there will always be a ready market once the facility is up and running, said the governor. At the same time, he announced that his government was planning to hire large tracts of land for the cultivation of hay to be sold to farmers at low prices. Mr Mwangi said farmers from the county were getting the dry feed from as far as the Rift Valley and incurring huge costs as a result. Farmers buy hay at an average of Sh250 a bale but once we grow ours, the price will come down to about Sh80 a bale, he added.

SECURITY GOVERNMENTS AND SHIPPING AGENTS INCUR HUGE COSTS TO PROTECT VESSELS FROM RAIDS
Lull in piracy yet to see drop in shipping fees

Companies continue to pay astronomical security fees to keep attackers at bay
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE THREAT IS STILL THERE AND THE SHIPPING LINES DO NOT WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE, Kenya Ships Agents Association CEO
alling pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia are yet to translate into lower shipping costs as companies continue to pay heavily to keep the bandits at bay. Data from the International Marine Bureau (IMB) indicates that increased policing of the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden has seen piracy decline to a seven-year low in the rst six months of 2013. IMB reports that there were nine piracy incidents along the Gulf of Aden in the rst half of the year, a sharp drop from the 69 attacks during a similar period last year. Worldwide, the bureau recorded 138 piracy incidents against the 177 reported in the rst half of 2012. IMB attributes this signicant drop in the frequency and range of attacks by Somali pirates to actions taken by international navies as well as preventive measures by merchant vessels, said the bureau in a July 2013 statement. Despite this positive trend, industry players who spoke to Smart Company said the benets of falling piracy rates were yet to trickle down to traders on the ground. Reducing attacks have been directly correlated with increased spending on security. Governments and shipping companies continue to incur heavy costs in protecting vessels from raids. The problem is that the threat is still there and the shipping lines do not want to take a chance. They are still levying surcharges on freight rates to cater for security, said Kenya Ships Agents Association (KSAA) chief executive, Mr Juma Tellah.

According to a report by Oceans Beyond Piracy, a project of the One Earth Future Foundation, Somali bandits cost the world economy Sh2.3 trillion ($6.1 billion) in 2012, a 12.6 per cent drop from the gures reported in 2011. Despite this overall drop, Oceans Beyond Piracy argues that the cost of Somali piracy to individual shipping lines and traders actually rose during the period. The number of attempts and hijacking fell much more drastically than the cost of combating piracy, it said. The cost of piracy per incident rose by 189 per cent between 2011 and 2012 from Sh2.5 billion ($28.6 million) to Sh7.2 billion ($82.7 million). The highest increase was associated with armed guards. While 30 per cent of all vessels traversing the Gulf of Aden paid for armed guards in 2011 at a combined cost of Sh46.2 billion, the rate rose to 50 per cent in 2012 at a combined cost of about Sh133.1 billion. The trend now seems to have been transmitted to 2013. A July 2013 report in the Business Daily noted that foreign security rms have opened oces in Mombasa and Mauritius, tapping into a thriving business occasioned by the need for armed guards for ships traversing the Gulf of Aden. A guard can cost as much as Sh2.15 million ($25,000) for a transit voyage through the Gulf

of Aden. Vigilance cannot be abandoned just because piracy seems to have fallen. Companies still think that anything can happen. The pirates can adapt and change their modus operandi. This is why security costs are still high, said the Seafarers Union of Kenya (SUK) secretary general, Mr Andrew Mwangura. In addition to spending heavily on security, Oceans Beyond Piracy also notes that shipping companies are facing high labour costs. According to
agreements signed between ship owners and the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF), workers on ships are paid a bonus equal to 100 per cent of their basic wage during a ships stay in high-risk areas such as the Gulf of Aden. The Philippines government said its citizens on contract with shipping companies should earn 200 per cent wages while transiting the high-risk area. Filipinos comprise about 18 per cent of the worlds seafarers.

Iranian car maker now plans to set up plant in Kenya

Iranian-based car maker Saipa Group is seeking to establish a factory in Kenya to tap into the regional market. The company that commands the largest market share in the Middle East is carrying out market survey. We are seeking to establish a factory in Kenya with interest in mutual investment in spare parts and cars to tap into a huge market in Africa and make Kenya our regional business hub, reads a document addressed to Exhibition and Events Organisers that is to host companies during the sixth Africa International Export and Import Trade Fair from August 28 at the KICC, Nairobi. In an interview, Mr Solomon Kinyanjui, the Exhibitions and Events Organisers managing director, said the Iranian car maker plans to make Kenya its regional hub due to its strategic geographical position. Other companies eyeing the country include a Pakistanbased maker of stationery products for export and a number of Egyptian rms. Several companies have already booked a place at the fair but with the aim of settling in the country in the near future, said Mr Kinyanjui. According to Forbes online magazine, Saipa Group and Iran Khodro are the Middle Easts biggest car producers and are ranked 13th in total production in the world but fth in terms of fastest growth globally. Iran has an annual production of 1.6 million vehicles. Saipa Group is seeking entrance in Kenyan, following in the footsteps of Honda, which set up a new dealership in Kenya with full sales, spares, and service facilities. According to the Kenya Motor Industry Association website, Honda operations are run as a division within TransAfrica Motors (TAM), a Dubai-based industrial conglomerate that represents four commercial vehicle franchises in Kenya supported by Honda Motor South Africa with premises on Mombasa Road, Nairobi. Recently, Chery Automobile, Chinas biggest motor exporter since 2002, set up an automobile plant in Kenya after truck manufacturer Beiqi Foton Motors in a bid to tap into Kenya and the regional market. Stantech Motors, Cherys franchise in Kenya, is looking to make a $50 million investment in Kenya in an assembly plant.

Kenya needs to introduce a price stabilisation mechanism, like other countries, to cushion farmers from price volatility. This will enable them to plan well for production and make cotton growing a predictable venture while ensuring that ginneries have a steady supply, said Mr Masika. The government organises farmers representatives and ginners to set prices for the year based on the international market situation, local cost of production, expected increase in demand, and reduced supply. Global cotton prices have oscillated according to supply, mostly dictated by major producers. Mr Masika said

countries like India had a stabilisation fund that enables farmers to plan properly for production. In March last year, India announced a ban on exports, sending the cotton prices soaring at the New York commodity market, with Chinese importers scrambling for the commodity from the US. The ban, however, drew sharp criticism from farmers as domestic prices declined sharply, leading to the lifting of the ban within days. Other countries that have been facing tight supply are Pakistan and China, which have fast-developing textile industries.

ee-sawing cotton prices are threatening to stifle growth in the textile industry, which is among those identied as potential key drivers of industrialisation in the Vision 2030 blue print, a guide to Kenya achieving a medium level economic status in the next 17 years. Farmers are complaining that they are unable to break even due to the low prices compared to the high cost of inputs. The situation is made worse by unpredictable swings every year. Cotton prices in the international market fell last year to Sh35 a kilogramme, before rising slightly to the current Sh42, leaving farmers uncertain about which way to go. The prices hit an all-time high in 2010, with producers pocketing Sh65 a kilogramme from Sh32 in the previous year. We have already approached the Cabinet Secretary for Industrialisation, Mr Adan Mohammed, with the objective of asking the government to set up a stabilisation fund to oer farmers a guaranteed minimum price, said the Cotton Development Authority vice-
chairman, Mr David Masika. He said the government is the main local buyer of cotton products for its institutions, adding that it was possible to set a price margin. We want to move cotton production to another level where farmers grow the crop through contract, he said. Mr Masika, also the proprietor of Makueni Ginneries, said the machines in use are obsolete, adding that with modern technology it was possible to cut costs by between 30 per cent and 40 per cent.

OVERSIGHT> PARLIAMENTARY TEAM WANTS THE MANAGEMENT INVESTIGATED WITH A VIEW TO FINDING OUT WHAT IS AILING THE GIANT MILLE
Mumias Sugar grapples wit
Raw material poaching, cheap sugar imports, and management challenges combine to choke cash sources for the giant miller
rgibendi@ke.nationmedia.com
BY RAMENYA GIBENDI
umias Sugar Company is facing one of its toughest nancial moments since its inception four decades ago. A myriad of issues have conspired to push the companys cash position into the red. From sugar cane poaching, where the company is said to have lost over Sh7 billion over the past two years, smuggling in of cheaper sugar from neighbouring countries, to management issues, the sugar miller is literally ghting for its survival. We expect pressure to build on the industry given the expiration of the Comesa importation
safeguards expected in March 2014, an equity analysis by Sterling Capital indicates. Lauded by the industry regulator, the Kenya Sugar Board, as the best miller to have embraced diversication after investing in a water bottling plant, power co-generation, and an ethanol distillery, it is now emerging that this ambitious expansion could be coming back to haunt the company. Mumias Sugar is the countrys leading sugar producer and the only listed company among the 11 millers, of which ve are privately owned. In February this year, the company issued a prot warning after making a Sh1.5 billion half-year net loss, which was attributed to sugar cane poaching and high operational costs. Its nancial report showed that
net revenue had fallen to Sh5.4 billion compared to the previous years Sh6.9 billion, representing a 22 per cent slump. The revelation by the Kenya Sugar Board last week that 20,000 tonnes of sugar stock piles are lying in the stores of nine local millers, among them

The net revenue of the sugar miller in billions of shillings, having dropped from Sh6.9 billion the previous trading period
Mumias, due to an upsurge in duty-free sugar imports from Uganda and Tanzania, makes matters even worse for the rm. Industry analysts project that this will cut Mumias Sugars market share from 39 per cent to 35 per cent. The chairman of the Kenya Sugar Millers Association, Mr Peter Kebati, who is also the managing director of Mumias Sugar, admitted in an earlier interview that the imports were stiing operations at the rm. Two weeks ago, the chairman of the parliamentary agriculture committee, Mr Ayub Savula, led MPs from western Kenya in urging President Uhuru Kenyatta to summon the board of Mumias Sugar over poor performance. Our understanding is that Mumias borrowed a lot to invest in projects that are not yielding
as anticipated amid a tough operating environment, said Mr Savula. He said the industry leader had displayed depressed cash ow, which the current management seemed unable to resolve. The MPs held that the rms underwhelming show was a threat to hundreds of livelihoods that depend on it. Barely a week after the meeting, the company announced the resignation of its chief nance ocer, Mr Chris Chepkoit, less than a year since his appointment to the position. Although the rm said the CFO left voluntarily, becoming the third senior ocial to exit in under three months in similar circumstances, this points to a management issue at the millers.

ETHANOL AND POWER PLANTS COULD RESCUE GIANT MILLER

Engulfed in a raging nancial crisis, sugar miller Mumias has embarked on a product diversication programme that it hopes will cushion it against volatile revenues from its core business. The countrys biggest sugar company by market share in June last year commissioned an ethanol plant from which it earned about Sh50 million in the half-year results this year. Although it is yet to break even, the ethanol plant, with an estimated annual capacity of 22 million litres, is expected to become a signicant contributor to the rms revenues in the future, helping it to remain aoat in an increasingly competitive market. Analysts at investment rm, Sterling Capital, in a report on the performance of the company released this month say they expect revenues from the ethanol plant to improve this year. We, however, expect to see some improvement in ethanol sales for the full-year 2013 to reach Sh100 million, the report notes. The millers power co-generation plant, which produced 45,494 megawatt-hour of electricity in 2012, is another strategic plan that has signicantly cut its cost of production and evolved into an additional revenue stream. Of the total power generated, 34,154 megawatthour was sold to Kenya Power and the remaining 25 per cent used internally. The energy segment has thus far boosted revenues although the plant is yet to operate at full capacity, Sterling Capital said. To mitigate the threat of cane poaching, Mumias has sought to develop measures to shield its topline by initiating exclusive contracts with the outgrowers, providing farm inputs to growers, and gradually increasing the pay amount to producers, which is dependent on the market prices of sugar. In February this year, the rm issued a prot warning after posting a Sh1.5 billion half-year loss, which was attributed to sugar cane poaching and high operational costs. The new sugar cane procurement plan is hoped to reverse the losses the company has suered due to poaching. An ongoing management change could also help it turn around its fortunes in coming years. But for successful change in Mumias nancials, much more needs to be done in the regulation of importation of sugar into the country. Two weeks ago, nine local sugar factories, Mumias included, said they were in a crisis after accumulating more than 20,000 tonnes of the commodity, which they are unable to sell due to suspected dumping of duty-free sugar from Uganda and Tanzania. Kenya Sugar Board chief executive ocer Rosemary MKok said following the outcry by local sugar millers, KSB had intensied surveillance with support from the Kenya Revenue Authority, the police, the Uganda Sugar Manufacturers Association, and the authorities in Tanzania. But the rm will still have to face sti competition with the number of local sugar millers having increased in recent years. The latest to enter the Kenyan market is Mauritian sugar manufacturer Omnicane which recently acquired a 25 per cent stake in Kwale International Sugar Company with the option of increasing its shareholding to 50 per cent. We also expect pressure to build on the industry given the expiration of the Comesa importation safeguards expected in March 2014, analysts at Sterling Capital said. Charles Wokabi

shortage of cane due to poaching and drought. The Kenya Union of Sugar Plantations and Allied Workers boss, Mr Francis Wangara, said the current crisis at Mumias could be resolved if the management acknowledged that briefcase companies owned by some employees were giving the miller a raw deal. The problem is that gures quoted by such contractors are highly inated to the extent that the company is making huge losses, said Mr Wangara. Mr Kebati was unavailable for comment due to what his director of marketing and corporate aairs, Ms Pamela Lutta, termed a busy schedule. A report released last week by Sterling Securities reviewing the companys operations projects that the firms revenue from sugar is expected to decline on account of challenges faced in sugar cane procurement and heightened competition within the sugar industry . This will be in line with the industry trend, with a report published by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics indicating that domestic sugar production from January-April 2013 had declined to 182,000 tonnes compared to 201,000 tonnes in the same period last year. On the same note, sugar cane delivery in Kenya has dropped by 27 per cent in March 2013 to 443,000 tonnes relative to the
Figures quoted
605,500 tonnes delivered in the same period in 2012. Sterling Securities projected that the end of the Comesa safeguards on sugar imports in March 2014 may further complicate matters for Mumias due to heightened competition in the industry, the report said. Currently, Kenya is allowed to cap sugar imports from Comesa countries, a move that was put in place in 2003 to protect local sugar companies. The challenge that the industry might face is the unfavourable production costs compared to other Comesa countries, giving rise to cheaper imports.

They have neglected farmers for long and the new and aggressive millers know this, claimed Mr Wanjala. Diversication of the companys investments, has also brought with it challenges. Mr Kebati admitted that the ethanol and water plants had not paid o, with only Sh10 million and Sh50 million respectively having been recouped from the projects commissioned in 2011. In the 2012 nancial year, the company again registered a 34 per cent drop in its pretax prot, from Sh2.6 billion in the previous nancial year to Sh1.8 billion. It attributed the decline to
While the cost of production in Kenya, according to Kenya Sugar Board, is estimated at Sh52,000 a tonne, that in other Comesa countries ranges between Sh27,000 and Sh35,000. In 2008, Mumias and the Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority (Tarda) were expected to grow sugar cane on 16,000 hectares of land in Tana River at a cost of Sh15 billion to increase its raw material supply. It has been seven years and the project has yet to take o.

Think beyond maize as a staple crop to fight hunger, researchers advise

Unreliable rainfall patterns, low production, and a deadly disease aecting the staple have forced scholars to turn attention to other crops, particularly millet
cientists are thinking beyond maize as the countrys staple, given erratic rainfall and declining land sizes. The steady increase in the number of hungry mouths and declining production are not making matters any easier. The devastating eects of the striga weed and the maize lethal necrosis disease are also worrying potential maize farmers. Researchers now want growers, particularly in lowland areas where maize does not thrive, to diversify into droughttolerant and fast-maturing crops, which include nger millet, sorghum, cassava, and sweet potatoes. Concerns that nger millet has been relegated to the periphery, its economic and nutritional value notwithstanding, have seen some scientists shift their focus to the crop. Prof Matthew Dida, the lead researcher in the nger millet project, said farmers were being encouraged to value the crop after more than 50 years of falling production. Unlike Kenya, nger millet production is a lucrative economic activity in Tanzania and Uganda, where it is grown on a large scale, said Prof Dida of Maseno Universitys School of Agriculture. Ms Benta Ocholla, a farmer from Marenyu sub-location, Siaya County, is among those beneting from the nger millet project. She said the crop takes less space and time to mature compared to maize besides attractive good market prices. The problem with many people is that they fear doing things dierently. Some insist on the same seeds which they have been using over the years even when they are introduced to modern ones that guarantee high yields, said Ms Ocholla. I earn more from nger millet compared to other cereals. Its production costs are low as it is less susceptible to the eects of weeds, pests, and diseases, she said.

Allan Liavoga, said under the initiative, scientists are working with farmers to increase acreage under the crop. He added that although the crop is primarily sold locally, millers are also taking advantage of the fact that people are getting nutritionally more conscious and are now producing diverse our products. Interestingly, nger millet is fetching more money than maize in the local markets, said Dr Liavoga, revealing that the programme they had started o with Siaya, Migori and Homa Bay counties. Farmers are also trained on soil preparation and the value of planting in rows as opposed to broadcasting. Proper spacing is important for any crop. It leads to increased yields and makes weeding and harvesting easier. For instance, nger millet requires ne soils, said Prof Dida who has been researching on the crop for the past 10 years.

Nakuru water rm goes mobile in meter reading

A water services company has rolled out mobile meter reading technology to improve eciency and revenue collection. Nakuru Water and Sanitation Company (Nawasco) managing director John Cheruiyot said the rm has spent nearly Sh0.6 million to buy smartphones and pay consultants who installed the software. The system was ocially launched at the company oces in Nakuru Town two weeks ago. It was installed by Nairobi-based StoneHouse Technologies. Nawasco is owed Sh500 million by various defaulters with the defunct Nakuru municipal council being the main culprit as it owes the company Sh200 million. According to engineer Cheruiyot, Nawascos monthly revenue collection of nearly Sh50 million is set to increase with the introduction of mobile meter reading. Meter readers will now relay the gures on the ground directly to their head oce and the same is processed thus saving the rm funds set aside to buy stationery. With the new system, sta who in the past manipulated data will no longer be able to do so as their phones are tted with Android software which will be indicating the exact position from where they are taking the readings. Days when meter readers would sit under a tree and guess the readings for our clients are now gone and they will have to read the correct gures and if the gate of the client is locked the phone will indicate the meter reader indeed visited the client, said Engineer Cheruiyot. This new system is secure, easy to operate and cases of manipulation of data by the meter readers will be eliminated as the system is fully integrated with our billing system, he said. The MD said they plan to map out all company infrastructure in the county in a bid to improve response in case of emergency. StoneHouse Technologies sales and marketing director, Mr Ken Okuto, said his company has initiated talks with Thika Water and Sanitation Company. Kisumu , Mavoko and Eldoret water companies to instal the new mobile meter reading system. The new technology is the best solution to minimise complaints and increase revenue as the readings will take the shortest time to process and send the bill to client on good time, said Mr Okuto. Rift Valley Water Services board chairman Bartonjo Chesaina said meter readers were the heart beat of the water companies and the success of the new system will depend on how they will embrace the new technology. -Francis Mureithi

Computer makers turn to new features to beat rivals

Despite competition driven by entry of laptops, smartphones, and tablets, desktops still control half of the worlds PC market but have a hard task ahead
ompetition in the personal computer market is taking a new shape following the release of brands with new and sophisticated features designed to give them an edge over rivals. The past few years have witnessed the proliferation of many brands with manufacturers betting on unique styles and software to survive in a world that is getting dominated by laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Evolution of the PC market has seen features like touch screens, wireless mouse, Apples mouth pads that work with gestures, and applications that enable faster access to data among other transformations come into play. But according to HPs consumer category manager, Mr Ken Muiga, desktops continue to drive nearly half of the global PC market despite an onslaught from new mobile phone devices in the past decade. Desktop PCs have now taken on new relevance with their unmatched power, exibility and dependability. These new HP desktops have features like fast charging ports and HP Wireless Hotspot software that play a pivotal role in communicating with mobile devices, said Mr Muiga. The company recently launched new PCs featuring an all-in-one 23-inch diagonal display with an adjustable height and reclining option that rotates between portrait and landscape orientations, a display port with multi-stream for up to four additional digital monitors, wireless hotspot application and enhanced security features that can be bolstered with the optional integrated neareld communications (NFC) for capabilities like le sharing.

Earlier this year, Lenovo unveiled the all in one desktop computer in Kenya. An April report by Gartner, a global technology research company, indicates that the future of desktops inuence and survival rests on their respective companies ability to convince consumers that they can be used beyond the comfort zone of the traditional PC and compete with tablets and smartphones. It says desktops should also come with features that will create a symbiotic relationship with electronic mobile devices dependent on desktops. The research firm paints a positive forecast for PC sales noting that they are expected to rise by ve per cent through 2017, with tablet sales scheduled to more than quadruple in the same period. Within the same time, mobile phone shipments and smartphones will continue to rise until 2017, growing by 22 per cent to 2.1 billion in 2017. The East African PC market, however,

Projected rise in PC sales through 2017 in the world, according to Gartner, a global technology research company
shrank in the rst quarter of 2013 according to technology research rm, International Data Corporation. The market covers Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia. It fell by 6.4 per cent year-on-year to 207,385 units with the decline in Kenya attributed to the General Election held earlier this year. Portable PCs like laptops and all in one computers, however, recorded an impressive 20.2 per cent year-on-year growth in the same period to 169,834 units. This was mainly due to consumer preferences shifting to ease in mobility, and the pricing strategies employed by some vendors, which are shipping large numbers of portable PCs without (stand-alone) operating systems, hence making them aordable to the entire East Africa region, the IDC report released in May read in part. The major threat to growth of PCs in the region will be smartphones and tablets, since for the rst time we are seeing smartphone and tablet vendors pushing entrylevel products through telco retail outlets, hence to a larger customer base, IDCs research analyst James Mutua noted.
LAST YEAR, THE NUMBER OF PCS IMPORTED IN KENYA DROPPED BY 18 PER CENT. THIS IMPLIES THAT FOR VENDORS TO REGAIN MARKET SHARE, THEY NEED TO BE INNOVATIVE. Tech analyst Thomas Makau
ProDesk 600 series and HP Elite 800 G1 series in Kenya last week, is a move that could see other brands like Lenovo, Dell, Toshiba, Acer follow suit. Technology rm, Dell, already has a new series of advanced desktops easily managed, touch-optional OptiPlex 9020 All-in-One, a brand that stiens competition among PC vendors. According to technology analyst, Mr Thomas Makau, traditional desktops are currently losing market shares with entry of mobile gadgets and advanced computers like touch screen desktops, laptops and other electronic gadgets. Last year, the number of PCs imported in Kenya dropped by 18 per cent. This implies that for vendors to regain market share, they need to be innovative, said Mr Makau.
Portability also matters. Many of the desktops being sold in the market currently are much lighter and thinner to appeal to the end user and save on work space, he added. Other technology companies that have transformed their gadgets are Samsung with its ATIV one 5 and ATIV one 7 that is touchsensitive, with a wide viewing screen available on Windows 8. Chinese brand, Lenovo, which commands about 8.6 per cent of the market share in Kenya, recently announced plans to increase its brand presence locally as well as in other markets in Africa. Many of the latest brands have adjustable stands, touch sensitive screens, sleek glass chassis, wireless hotspot software, additional digital monitors among other features and are available in small, ultra slim and tower forms.

Making online customer support painless

IT IS AMAZING how much we use the Internet today to do business. Whether it is booking a hotel or checking in a ight, searching telephone contacts or getting the latest news updates, making an order for books or music, trading at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, verifying our bank balances, requesting for service or simply sending and receiving emails. In Kenya today, though statistics are not easily available, more and more customers are going online to seek support or to purely get information to help them make a business decision. Many can attest to the fact that if they need a telephone contact they no longer think of the traditional telephone directory, they simply search online. A few days ago, airlines aected by the re at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport knew too well that the fastest and easiest way to reach their customers was to post updates online. I followed keenly as our national carrier, Kenya Airways, used its Twitter accounts and Facebook pages to keep their passengers updated. Within a few hours, their website was upto-date with the ight changes. One of their tweet update read, KQ202 to Bombay of 8th August is scheduled to depart at 6.05pm local time. Only passengers with conrmed tickets for 8th will travel. Qatar Airways had its ights operate from Kilimanjaro Airport as one of its tweets read ALERT: bus departs Intercontinental Hotel at 4.30AM for a 10AM Dept from Kilimanjaro. Arrival to Doha approximately 2PM. Stay tuned for more. Without these online platforms, it would have taken hours to contact the customers via telephone or email. Online customer support does not only come in handy during a crisis, many smart companies are conducting everyday interactions online. I was very excited when my stockbroker introduced live online trading. I was, however, disappointed that though they activated the payment request option, I was still required to ll a payment request form, sign it and send a copy of my ID as had been the norm prior to the online platform. Many other companies are providing online support but certainly not to the level experienced in other parts of the world. I look forward to the day when my local bank will provide scanned copies of cleared cheques online as does a small bank in Kansas City. I await the day when I will comfortably make purchases online like I do from Amazon.com without any worries. Not only will I be able to track my order, I will also get a home delivery and my satisfaction guaranteed, and a return policy will be in place just in case I am not fully satised. As companies build online customer support, it is important to remember that it is not only about Twitter and Facebook, only a small minority of customers use these channels. The majority of customers still use emails and website interfaces for online support. It is for this reason that I always advise my clients not to rush to Twitter and Facebook without rst xing the customer service support they oer via email and through their website. All involved in steering online customer support must aim to make the experience painless.

Cheap imports edge out poultry farmers

Producers say it is not economical to keep layers as traders opt for eggs that come with a low price tag
MAJOR UNDOING THE COST OF CHICKEN FEED HAS BEEN ON THE RISE IN THE PAST ONE YEAR

eorey Sakwa has been a poultry farmer in Busia for the past two years. At rst he had satisfactory returns but this has now changed. Starting this year, things have not been rosy for him due the entry of cheap eggs he suspects are from South Africa through the Busia and Malaba border points. Mr Sakwa said he has been watching in despair as trucks bring in the eggs and he has had to sell all his 1,000 layers. The farmer said producers in the area are selling their eggs at Sh300 a tray while those coming in are going at Sh260 and sometimes below, prompting many traders to go for the latter.
production, which is choking may farmers. Our farmers rely on feeds to keep poultry. They do not produce it. So if it is too expensive, it becomes dicult for them to sustain their activities, said Mr Erulu. He said that even though the East Africa market protocol allows for free movement of goods, it is dicult to tell the source of most products. We strongly believe that these eggs and even other goods that are brought into Kenya through our borders courtesy of the EAC Common Market Protocol do not originate from member states, said Mr Erulu. Farmers who had embraced poultry-keeping are now abandoning the venture due to the inux of the cheap eggs. The prices of poultry feeds have gone up over the years
Residents of Busia and Bungoma counties rely on Uganda for cheap imports such as maize, banana, cassava, nger millet, sorghum, and timber. Mr Erulu said the govern-
ment should re-examine the protocol to ensure that it is benecial to Kenyans or risk killing the local economy. He cited the sugar industry, where farmers in Busia and
Bungoma have not been paid for sugar cane that they delivered to various millers due to lack of a market for the sugar. Nine sugar factories in the county have accumulated
more than 20,000 tonnes of the commodity, which they are unable to sell due to dumping of duty-free sugar from Uganda and Tanzania.

He said the biggest challenge facing the industry is the high cost of feeds, making local eggs expensive. The farmer said growers mash was going for Sh2,800 a bag last year and that it is now retailing at Sh3,700. Layers mash costs Sh2,800. Busia Cross-border Traders Association chairman David Erulu admitted that poultry farmers in Busia and Bungoma counties are unable to ride out the sti competition from cheap imported eggs. Early this month I saw a 10-tonne truck offloading eggs at a nearby shop. All these eggs cannot be from Uganda, he said, adding that the government needs to urgently address the cost of

while that of eggs continues to stagnate, forcing some farmers to abandon the venture, said Mr Pius Wekesa, a farmer in Bungoma. Mr Harry Omondi, a hotel operator in Busia, asked the government to protect local farmers, saying that even though traders were going for cheap eggs, most of them had a short shelf life. It is unfair that eggs that have come all the way from South Africa are cheaper than the locally produced ones. We have to protect our farmers, said Mr Omondi. Eggs join the growing lists of imports such as sugar and maize which are threatening local farming.

IMPACT SOCIAL MEDIA WOULD HELP YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS THAN EVER BEFORE
Tweet, blog, post and succeed both in life and business

Turning to social media could be a boon for a startup or one that is growing with an eye on the global market
o you have a social media presence? The benets are immense, yet a study conducted by IBM found that social media is currently the least used of all customer engagement methods many chief executives are unsure even where to start. Whether you are launching a startup or expanding an established business, if you are an entrepreneur and you do not have a social media presence, your company is at a competitive disadvantage. I have built a strong online presence over the past few years and always thinking of new ways to expand our reach. I think this is partly because I was already comfortable with the basic concepts: After all, my rst successful business was in the media. When I was 16 years old, my friends and I started up Student Magazine. Although I did not give myself the title of publisher, that is what my job was, in retrospect. We launched our monthly publication hoping to provide young people with a platform to protest the injustice of the Vietnam War. It soon became a place where up-and-coming talents showcased their work and we also published impassioned thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre, inspired writers like James Baldwin, and imaginative artists like David Hockney. The magazine was an exciting forum that allowed people to creatively express their views and try to initiate change. We did not know

it back then, but it was the foundation upon which the Virgin Group would be built. A few decades (who is counting?) later, I am back in publishing, though now through my blog and other social media channels. Businesses that are looking for an edge still need to concentrate on getting their stories on local newspapers front pages. There is always a lot to be gained when the press gets interested in brilliant initiatives going on at your company. But one thing I learned over the years was that our companies were not going to be the focus of media attention every day, so I needed other ways to get some messages across and keep my customers engaged. Modern day entrepreneurs need to take their businesses to where the conversation is happening mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. Social media is the perfect venue and my guess is that one of the reasons for the tepid response from most companies is a lack of understanding of how to use these channels properly. Here are a few guidelines that will make your posts and company stand out:
Social media is one of the best ways of growing your business. PHOTO | FILE
While my friends and I had a lot of fun running Student Magazine, we also had a meaningful message. These days, as well as sharing what is going on in my life and exchanging messages with all sorts of interesting people, I use social media to highlight issues that aect us all. A blog post can start a debate and make an impact in the real world.
1. Provide high quality content
conversations they elicit. If you are expecting people to be intrigued by what you and your business have to say, you have to genuinely be interested in their feedback.

As always, do not take yourself too seriously. You have a lot of opportunities to make people smile via social media. When we started Student Magazine we were young and denitely just as focused on having a good time as on getting an issue out by deadline. For us, there was no dierence between work and play and there still is not today. Among my posts and tweets, you will nd lots of funny tales, cheeky questions, and the odd photo of me making a fool of myself.
3. Tell a few jokes
and tweets provide a true reection of yourself, not just your professional persona. Whether on social media, on a plane, or in the oce, you (and your business) are far more likely to make an impression if you let your real personality shine through. Once you get started, you will soon learn that by embracing social media, you can keep in touch with and inform your customers to a greater degree than ever before, and through that exchange, broaden your understanding of your businesss horizons.

Governance bodies should retrospect to be eective

EVERY so often, it is important for any governance body to be retrospective. It is important for it to ask itself several key questions if it is to eectively lead the organisation it is entrusted with. It is not uncommon for such bodies to get entangled in group think and some false sense of invincibility. It could even be overly domineered by some of its members in its regular activities. To sit back and retrospect is, therefore, a good thing. When the governance body sits in such a forum, it asks itself how mission-driven its activities have been. How has it ensured that there has been congruence between decisions, core values, the mission, and the vision of the organisation? The governance body reects on its strategic thinking, querying whether it has allocated time to what mattered most and whether it has continuously engaged in strategic thinking to hone the organisational direction. Has it aligned agendas and goals with values and strategic priorities? It will put some focus on constructive partnership with the organisational management, particularly recognising that the eectiveness of the board and the CEO are interdependent and that such a relationship is built on trust, candour, respect, and honest communication. The governance body, by whatever name, will retrospect on its culture of inquiry. How has it institutionalised this culture? What about mutual respect and constructive debate that leads to sound decision-making, seeking of further information, questioning of assumptions, and challenging conclusions to try and build analysis-based solutions? Equally important is for it to question its independent-mindedness. It needs to look at what conict of interest procedures it has put in place for members. It will question itself on how voting on issues happens. Does this take place because it is inuenced by any one group, or by some person, based on some predetermined clout? It will question the regularity of attendance of meetings by its members, the robustness of the debates, adequacy of the information received, and the time it is received. The constitution of its committees and the completeness of the agendas of each of the committees is equally important. It will also examine the feedback mechanisms of such committees to the main governance body. It is in such a forum that the governance body will question it transparency to its stakeholders. What kind of information does it provide to such stakeholders? How about circulation of information among members? Is some information the preserve of a few of its members? How available is such data to all the members of such a body? It will also inquire into its compliance with integrity, its ethical values, oversight of compliance, and its independence to ensure accountability including in things like external audits. It will also look into what it is doing to ensure sustaining of resources, result orientation, continuous learning, risk and control management. It is only with such retrospection that governance bodies can see where they have come from and, most importantly, where they are taking the organisation they are entrusted with.

OVERVIEW
Indecision among buyers and sellers sees bourse trading at

THE NSE 20 Share Index experienced a marginal increase of 0.33 per cent during the week to close at 4,792.87 points. Equity prices have traded sideways for a while now owing to the indecision of traders regarding the next direction for the market. Should no clear winner emerge this week in the battle between the buyers and sellers, then prices will continue to trade at. The four-day session was also characterised by half-year result announcements, especially from banks. Turnover remained at at Sh2.55 billion. BARCLAYS BANK LTD (BBK) BARCLAYS Bank Kenya dropped 1.43 per cent to Sh17.2, marking its fourth straight week under Sh18, its immediate ceiling. The drop was precipitated by a 15 per cent fall in its half-year pre-tax prot to Sh5.5 billion. Interest income stood at Sh7.2 billion from Sh7.3 billion posted in a similar period a year ago. Income from investment activities stood at Sh2.2 billion from Sh2.3 billion in 2012. Its loan book increased by Sh6 billion to Sh107 billion. The regional bank is presently pursuing a threeyear strategy that has seen it lay o employees in a bid to restructure its operations. Traders are wary about whether the stock will climb back to its May highs any time soon. COOPERATIVE Bank of Kenya closed at Sh16.4. It also released its half-year results for 2013, showing a respectable 17 per cent increase in its pre-tax prot to Sh4.71 billion. Its net interest income jumped 19 per cent to Sh8.86 billion compared to the same period a year ago. The banking stock has exhibited sluggish performance for several months now, climbing up only by 2.5 per cent since May. NATIONAL Bank of Kenya closed last week at Sh21.25 from Sh21.5. Despite showing a 5 per cent increase in its pre-tax prot to Sh953 million for its half-year results ending 31 July, 2013, traders still gave it a muted response. Its loan book grew to Sh27.5 billion from Sh26.8 billion. Net interest income stood at Sh2.8 billion, up from Sh2.5 billion posted the previous year in a similar period. The bank is in the middle of a reorganisation programme aimed at growing its assets, customer accounts, and revenues. It now plans to oer a Sh10 billion rights issue to facilitate this process as it also seeks to reposition itself in the market. SAMEER Africa received a boost from its half-year results, with a better operating prot to Sh300 million.

Jamii Bora Bank plans long-term lending

Although the SME segment is fraught with risk, lender targets small rms with longterm loans to shore up its portfolio
amii Bora Bank plans to extend long-term nancing to micro, small, and medium enterprises as is seeks to grow its reach in a market characterised by sti competition. The micro business sector, which is the banks core focus, is, however, largely high risk but the bank is betting into this segment in part to grow its portfolio in a bid to join the second-tier rank in about ve years. With the new funds it plans to raise from the ve-year corporate bond to be oated on August 19, the bank will be well capitalised to target the low end of the market, where many other small lenders are increasingly turning to bolster growth. The bank is seeking to shore up its capital base with the bond and the funds are to be channelled to mortgage nancing, small and medium enterprises, as well as micro businesses for a period of ve years. The bond issuance is by way of private oer as no application has been made to the Capital Markets Authority (CMA). It will also not be listed on the Fixed Income Securities Market Segment (FISMS) of the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), according to the information memorandum.

We are taking that money to nance our longer term lending in mortgages, SMEs, and micro nance, which has tended to be very short lending for like a year. But, now as a bank, we have to start lending for even ve years, the banks chief executive Sam Kimani said in an interview with Smart Company last week. He said a focus on the corporate segment is tough, given that many of the 44 banks in the Kenyan market are targeting them, making competition high and thus squeezing prot margins. When you have got 44 banks, corporate business becomes very tricky because how many corporates are there? So, you must go to where the people are. That is the retail market and the salaried workforce, he said. In business, there is money in the SMEs. That is why the focus is there because you have the numbers and the potential. The margins are also good in the SME sector, unlike in corporate lending where they have very high hard bargains, added Mr Kimani. Investor demand for higher rates, especially on short-term government paper, has in the past few weeks seen yields rise to as high as 10 per cent, with the expectation that they would rise further following the governments increased demand for funds to nance the budget. Last week, the yield on the 91-day T-bills rose to 10.406 per

Android smartphones market share rises

SMARTPHONES powered by Googles Android software increased their global market share as iPhones lost ground in the absence of new models being unleashed by Apple, the International Data Corporation reported last week. Androids share of the smartphone market grew to 79.3 per cent in the second quarter while that of iPhone slipped to 13.2 per cent from 16.6 per cent in the same three-month period last year, according to IDC gures. The iOS decline in the second quarter aligns with the cyclicality of iPhone, said IDC mobile phone research team manager Ramon Llamas, referring to the software platform on which the Apple handsets are built. Without a new product launch since the debut of the iPhone 5 nearly a year ago, Apples market share was vulnerable to product launches from the competition. Apple is well positioned to recapture market share with the release later this year of a new iPhone and the next-generation iOS mobile operating system, according to Llamas. IDC reported that 187 million Android-powered smartphones were shipped in the second quarter of the year. (AFP)

Tracing the route of your stolen mobile phone
PAGE 2&3
COVER STORY
THE FIVE-STEP CHAIN OF

One of the biggest threats that a mobile phone user faces today is loss or theft of the phone, says the Communications Commission of Kenya in an advisory note. Not only is the mobile valued as a physical device, but the phone may contain personal and nancial data stored in the handset or in the phones Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. While a stolen SIM can be barred by a mobile network once the theft has been reported, it is a bit harder to bar the handset from being used with dierent SIM cards. And unless the user had protected his or her personal information with a PIN prior to the theft or loss, this data can be accessed by unauthorised persons. Mobile phone theft, therefore, remains a users worst nightmare, even with advances in mobile phone security features. Our writer ALLAN OLINGO follows your stolen mobile phone from the moment the groundsman in the chain snatches it from your hands to when it is eventually sold to someone else
THE THIEF
He does the dirty work of stealing the handset from you and is therefore the hands-on guy in the black market. His appearance and demeanor varies; he may be clean, smartly dressed and urban, or dirty, unkempt and passing o as a parking boy. He is on the street, he says, because he has to eke out a living, and your phone is his avenue to a meal in his stomach in the evening. He may use violence or trickery, but whichever way he will have your phone. For the pickpocket, public places like inside matatus, on busy streets and even at concerts are the best hunting grounds. He may work alone or in collaboration with another one, especially at concerts or such well-populated, enclosed places. If joined by another lout, the two will walk and keep together and set targets to meet, usually through picking your pockets. Other than the pickpockets, there are others who specialise in break-ins. They will scout for vehicles that seem to have valuables like handbags, laptop computers, i-Pads, cameras and such, then break in and cart away the loot. The truly professional and hardcore type will even break into homes for the same, but because this type of thievery requires a masterly execution, few dare. Once they get their loot, they contact the army of brokers on the market...
THE DEALER
He is suave, sleek and sharply dressed. On a normal day you would mistake him for a business executive working for some blue chip company in town. He runs his own business... only that he is deep in the electronics blackmarket, an underworld so secretive and protected that it is hard to penetrate. Over the weekends he closes his shop, but only to the public. Within his network of thievery and deceipt, weekends are good days to take stock of business and advantage of lax security on the streets. He operates from what he calls Base, which could be a phone repair shop or even a barber shop, and maintains a tight leash on his network of groundsmen and brokers. He may pay in cash or be left with the item to sell then pay the broker his due. The Dealer knows his market well and is choosy on what to take and what is not worth the risk. The hot cakes in this market include high-end phones and laptop computers, as well as watches and other stu that is all the rage with the upwardly mobile Kenyan youth. In this unpoliced underworld, The Dealer may specialise, and some in the backstreets of Nairobi are known to forever have the desired loot of Apple products, Samsung phones and tablets, BlackBerrys and Sony XPerias. Their target market is the young man or woman who desires these things but cannot aord them, hence the rock-bottom prices on the wrong side of Nairobi for high-end gadgets. He still makes a tidy sum out of it though, despite those unbelievable prices. This is because he gets them from The Broker for a song. A Samsung Galaxy SIII phone, for instance, costs him about Sh6,000, so even if he sells it for about Sh15,000, he would still make a tidy sum. The same phone goes for about Sh36,000 on the retail market, while a tablet that costs about Sh50,000 is priced at between Sh20,000 and Sh25,000 at The Base. To avoid tracking by the police, especially when dealing with mobile phones, The Dealer never uses SIM cards associated with him to test the gadgets, which is why the buyer is always the one who gets nabbed when things go awry
THE BROKER
Once the item is stolen, the next person on the chain is always on call and will be willing to buy it from the thieves, who are only after quick cash. He is the broker in this market and acts as the link between the thief and the dealer. He is smart, always has money with him and is mobile. Most of the time he never hangs around the same place as a precautionary measure. The broker ensures that he buys the item from the thief at minimal cost so that it can fetch a fortune at the dealers. In the underworld, he is referred to as Dosi, slang for monied guy. He pays for the loot in cash and, because of competition from other brokers, also has to ensure that whatever he pays for is attractive enough to not only attract future deals but also referrals from other thieves. Brokers specialise in particular products to ensure street cred and easier referrals. There are those who deal exclusively in phones, cameras, laptops or household electronics. After the purchase, the broker then contacts a dealer, where the loot is o-loaded and is prepared to make a return to the market.

THE TECHNICIAN
He comes in handy when the phone has tracking devices or passwords. He passes as the phone repair man operating from a tiny joint with blaring music and disco lights all over, but his core business is to erase any memory and data on stolen phones, including disabling tracking devices. He uses specialised software that guarantees ease of use by bypassing manufacturer terms and conditions, especially on Internet access and security. For instance, for you to access the Internet on a BlackBerry, you have to register with the network provider, who then links you with the mother servers. However, The Technician will bypass that requirement, hence make the device Internetready and undetectable by Research In Motion, the makers of BlackBerry devices. As technology becomes more complicated, so is the techo-savviness of this man. He maintains a bank of all important mobile phone software and, by simply plugging the gadget into a laptop computer, deletes anything that could be used to track down the gadget, as well as any history on it regarding the previous user.
Mobile market one of the most competitive

Mobile phone subscribers in Kenya are now at close to 30 million, according to statistics from the Communication Commission of Kenya (CCK). In its status report for the rst quarter of the 2012/13 Financial Year (July to September 2012), CCK reported that the market had 30.4 million mobile subscribers as at September 30, 2012, up from 29.7 million in the three months preceding July 2012. However, as at March this year, the number of mobile phone users was 29.8 million, down from 30.7 million in December last year, representing a 2.9 per cent drop. This represents a penetration drop of 2.2 per cent from 78 per cent to 75.8 per cent, explained by the switcho of unregistered SIM cards. CCK says three of the four communication operators registered a drop in their subscriber base, with only Essar (yu) increasing its customer subscription by 0.6 per cent. The uptake of mobile money has also expanded, with subscriptions increasing by 10.1 per cent to reach 23.2 million. This growth is attributed to the convenience as well as the value-added services of facilitating payments for goods and services. The number of mobile money transfer agents rose to 74,216, up from 62,300 reported in the previous quarter, creating at least 11,916 additional direct jobs in mobile money transfer service during the third quarter. As at September 30, 2012, 19.3 million Kenyans were subscribing to mobile money, a little less than 50 per cent of the population, with Sh206 billion having passed through mobile money transfer services between July and September of 2012, up from Sh192 billion, showing a 6.7 per cent growth between the two consecutive quarters, reads the report. CCK also says that the uptake of data and Internet services continued to display an upward trend, with 34.2 per cent of the population accessing the Internet mainly via the mobile phone. The number of Internet subscriptions rose to 8.5 million, up from 7.7 million in the previous quarter, representing a 10.2 per cent increase. In total, the estimated number of Internet users stood at 13.53 million, reads the report. From the report, the level of market shares, measured by subscription, has experienced marginal change, with the market leader Safaricom seeing its share drop marginally from 64.0 per cent to 63.2 per cent. Similarly, Telkoms (Orange) market share declined by 0.3 percentage points to stand at 10.2 per cent at the end of the quarter. However, Airtel Networks Kenya Limiteds market share increased to 16.8 per cent from 16.5 per cent, representing an increase of 0.3 percentage points while Essar Telecoms market share also increased to 9.9 per cent, up from 9.0 per cent recorded in the previous period. The increase in market shares by Airtel and Essar may have partially oset the decline in market shares for Safaricom and Orange.

THE BUYER
The is the average urban youth after a ashy lifestyle he cant aord, and thus is the character who oils this thriving electronics black market. He cannot aord the retail prices of these items, but because of greed and peer pressure, he has found a way to aord them. Most of the times, when the deal goes wrong and the police are involved, he is the one who bears the brunt on behalf of everyone on the chain of theft because he is the one caught with the stolen item. The buyer, then, is the unwilling, ignorant bait in this chain. The Thief, The Broker, The Dealer and The Technician have their hands clean and rarely will have any evidence on them.

WHERE ARE THE RIGHT MEN WHEN YOU NEED THEM THE MOST?
During the confusion at Kenyas most modern bus station also known as an international airport there was, of course, the occasional backpatting by the media fraternity and sorority over a wonderful coverage. Anyone who is anybody was interviewed and they were not short of words. However, the most sought after personality was Titus Naikuni, the boss of Kenya Airways, one of the airlines that uses the aerodrome. For a moment there, I felt that the bosses of other airlines must have felt so insignicant. Statements were issued from almost all ministries from Tourism to Internal Security, Transport... and I suspect even Mining, Lands, Devolution, Treasury, Health and Education jostled to put in a word. However, the two people whose voices were never heard probably because they were clueless were the airport manager and the MD of Kenya Airports Authority. Well, even the head of Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, which owns the airspace, did not speak, but I doubt if he needed to. Do you even know the names of those two gentlemen?

WHY PAY A TEAM TO STATE THE OBVIOUS?

As is always the case, a task force has been formed to investigate what happened. Really? A re happened. And because there is no proper re ghting equipment, it took time to be brought under control and the airport was closed down and there were chaos because there was no proper communication Isnt there some safety authority already in place under the Transport ministry that should be doing such kind of tasks? Isnt the re brigade the body which is supposed to have qualied re and safety engineers and is the one mandated with investigating the causes of res? If another re breaks out at any other airports, will another task force be formed?
Kenyans are living in a bubble lled with delusions of grandeur and will be the last to admit that things are not as good purported
Busiest, most modern my foot!

y all standards, I am a very conceited person, and ironically, I am modest enough or rather I am not ashamed to admit it. I insist that I am modest because I know my inadequacies, but the problem is that I live in a country with a conceited citizenry. Had it not been for my diffidence, I would have used this space to remind you how I have raved and ranted about Kenyas poor safety record, its disregard for safety procedures and perpetual low standards. As I have written many times before, I am not a safety engineer, just a safety freak, and whenever there is re-related disaster like the one that hit Jomo Kenyatta International Airport last week, I write that many more will happen because government entities only talk, and talk some more about implementing safety procedures and dealing with disasters. I have commented several times on Kenyas poor safety record and lack of disaster preparedness, and maintained that in Nairobi, you will burn to death because the authorities have never internalised the line that re is a good servant but a bad master. One can argue that last weeks airport re did not result in any human casualties, but the fact that it crippled what is billed as the regions hub or the countrys main port of entry is shameful enough for a nation that uses superlatives and the best adjectives to describe its antiquated and poorly-maintained facilities and installations. The biggest , the most secure , the best , the most ultra-modern , the safest are all phrases Kenyans incessantly use to describe the countrys museum pieces of facilities whose costs have been inated by the politically correct apparatchiks. One does not need to be a frequent international traveller to know that the busiest, safest, most-ultra-modern international airport in the wherever whose
Never in the history of mankind has a nation been so full of itself, so conditioned to think itself so important and that others always want to bring it down yet it is already in a hole.
re-ghting capabilities cannot pass the most basic test is just but a bus station dressed as an airport. It is a simple case of setting low standards, a typical case of setting the bar at the ground level, and when ocials who are
drunk with power stagger past it, people go gaga about how good the countrys facilities are. Some politically-correct contractor spends years on a site building what should pass as a bicycle park, but when the whole government ocialdom troops there to open it, Kenyans go wild over the most ultramodern railway station blah
blah blah A building is put up in the name of a hospital, and even though it lacks modern equipment, Kenyans have been conditioned to shout their heads o about it being best medical facility Local investigations reveal how low education standards at the public universities have sunk and instead of Kenyans demanding
better, they continue to scream that Kenyan universities are the best in the region. When the universities fail the test in international surveys, Kenyans hurl invectives at the West, their favourite scapegoat, and wail that it is a ploy to denigrate the country. Never in the history of mankind has a nation been so full of itself, so conditioned to think itself so important and that others always want to bring it down yet it is already in a hole. Obscurantist government officials flapdoodle on health care, communications, education, transport and all facilities in between, and the people yeah, they are the most loyal, dedicated, patriotic, peaceful and extremely understanding taxpayers genuect as if they are under hypnosis as their money goes down the drain or is channelled into personal bank accounts. When their hypnotic spell is broken, they think they are being done a favour and scream about the best, the largest, the most ultra-modern facilities the country has. When things fail to work, they are lulled into submission with little gestures and more promises. What they are never told is that they will pay more so that the facilities can be run down again. Another thing they never get to know because they never ask, is which ocials fail to do their bit or why the numerous promises are never kept. Truth be told, Kenyans are delusional. They live in a bubble, in their own sickening minds and are so laidback, so comfortable with the non-maintained archaic facilities and do not ask why things are the way they are 50 years after independence. Unless that bubble bursts, conceit coupled with euphoria will be the undoing of this country and there will forever be that cycle of ignorance, collective idiocy and untold suerance as the cost of living rises and living standards continue to plummet.

alcohol. Approximately 80 per cent of all cardiovascular diseases are preventable through lifestyle related factors. Alcohol use is a leading risk factor for poor dietary choices, inadequate physical activity levels and tobacco use. Recent studies have shown that women who drink excessively are at an increased risk for damage to the heart muscle in comparison to men. The findings highlighted that women were at greatest risk even if they had lower levels of consumption. Infertility: Excessive drinking also disrupts a females reproductive health and can increase the risk of infertility and even more serious, higher rates of miscarriages, stillbirths and premature deliveries. Men are more likely to drink in larger quantities, but women commonly have smaller structures and break down alcohol slightly different than men. This will result in higher alcohol levels in the blood that ultimately will impact a female longer despite drinking an equal amount. Liver cirrhosis: Alcohol can cause irreversible scarring of the liver, called cirrhosis, a progressive disease that develops slowly over many years until eventually the liver fails. Heavy female drinkers are more likely to develop symptoms versus men who consume the same amount. Individuals with cirrhosis have a much higher risk of developing liver cancer. Men are equally at risk and often drink more, more regular, and experience higher rates of accidents and injuries. Trac accidents are still the leading cause of alcohol-related death among young men aged 16 to 24.
Six reasons to steer clear of alcohol drinks

Booze contributes to the development of many chronic-health conditions as well as short-term health conditions such as injuries, trac accidents and suicides, but what else does it do?
BY DR CORY COUILLARD
drcorycouillard@gmail.com Alcohol is one of the most favourite drinks across the world, but its intoxicating and dependenceproducing properties play a role in violence, child neglect and abuse, shattered relationships and poor job performance. It also causes: Depression: A number of studies have shown that alcohol increases the risk of depression. Nearly onethird of all people with major depression have an alcohol problem, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Depression may be a particularly signicant trigger for alcohol use in women, who are more than twice as likely to start drinking heavily if they have a history of depression. Risky sexual behaviour: Alcohol is a leading cause of risky sexual behaviours such as unprotected sex and sex with multiple partners and produces an increased risk of sexual assault. These behaviours often result in unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections such as human papilloma virus (HPV) and HIV in both men and women. HPV is a signicant threat and is the leading cause of cervical cancer, the third most common malignancy in women. Cancer: Alcohol is also known to increase cancer of the liver, breast, colon, oesophagus, throat and mouth. Studies have linked the risk of breast cancer to increase proportionally in relation to the amount of alcohol use in women. The more alcohol consumed, the greater the cancer risk. Heart problems: Heart attacks, strokes and high blood pressure can develop from the harmful use of

Are we ever going get rid of poliomyelitis?

Polio is a viral disease which aects the spinal cord and causes muscle weakness and paralysis. It is caused by the wild poliovirus serotypes 1, 2, or 3 transmitted from person to person via the feacal-oral route
Dear Askadoc, The first time I heard of Polio was on a poster reading Kick Polio out of Kenya. In the past few months I have heard announcements in the media of polio immunisation campaigns. I thought we had completely eradicated the disease in Kenya. Is polio still a problem in the country? What is being done? What do I need to know to protect my children? Anne. Dear Anne, Poliomyelitis, commonly referred to as polio, is one of the diseases targeted for eradication globally. Sporadic cases have been reported in the country especially in the refugee camps and the communities neighbouring the camps. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), only three countries namely Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan remain polio endemic in 2013. Failure to eradicate polio can result to new cases of up to 200,000 in 10 years all over the world. Globally, until 1999 there had been no report of poliomyelitis caused by the type 2 virus. But in May this year Somalia experienced a wild polio virus type. Shortly after, another case was conrmed in Kenya in Daadab, the rst since 2011. This has led to major immunisation campaigns across the country in order to boost population immunity levels and reduce the risk of further outbreak. Proximity of Somalia to Daadab in Kenya means there is a risk of the infection spreading from the neighbouring country to Kenya. Polio is a viral disease which affects the spinal cord and causes muscle weakness and paralysis. It is caused by the wild poliovirus serotypes 1, 2, or 3 transmitted from person to person via the feacal-oral route. In its severity, it can aect the chest muscles, causing diculty in breathing and sometimes death. The diseased occurs almost exclusively in infants and young children. Most of those infected are normally

IN THE NEWS Whooping cough linked to shorter life expectancy

The Swedish study, by Lund University researchers, analysed birth and death records collected in ve rural parishes from 1813 to 1968. Over that time period, average life expectancy rose from 38 to nearly 80. Looking for factors that aected that trend, researchers compared the life expectancies of babies born during epidemics of whooping cough, measles and scarlet fever with those born during periods of very high food prices. (Sweden had three famines in the 19th
Life in cities found less injury-prone

If you want to avoid death by injury, live in a large city a new study has found that they are much safer than rural areas. Researchers analysed 1.3 million injury deaths in more than 3,000 counties in the US from 1999 through 2006. They classied the counties on a 10-point urban-rural scale that distinguished counties both by population density and by proximity to metropolitan centers. The study was published online in The Annals of Emergency Medicine. Injury death rates increased steadily as counties became more rural, to 73.76 per 100,000 population in the most rural counties compared with 49.72 per centin the most urban. The most common causes of injury death overall were car crashes and gunshots, both of which increased as counties became more rural. Death in car accidents was almost three times as frequent in rural areas as in cities. But the risk for poisoning and fallrelated injury death were lower in rural counties, and the risk for homicide was higher in urban centers. I hope that people begin to challenge the beliefs they hold about safety, said the lead author, Dr Sage R Myers, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania.
Medical procedures may be useless... or worse: Study

routine use of hormone therapy in postmenopausal women; highdose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant, a complex and expensive treatment for breast cancer that was found no better than conventional chemotherapy; and intensive glucose-lowering in Type 2 diabetes patients in intensive care, which actually increased mortality. In some instances, doctors routinely refused to give benecial therapies despite a lack of evidence that they were harmful. Vaccines were unnecessarily withheld from multiple sclerosis patients in the belief that they increased are-ups; epidural anesthesia was delayed during childbirth on the theory that it increased the rate of Caesarean sections. Yet good studies showed that these fears were unjustied. Often doctors persist with procedures that lack evidence because they seem to make sense, said the lead author, Dr Vinay Prasad, the chief fellow in medical oncology at the National Cancer Institute. They all sound good if you talk about the mechanisms. Patients, too, like to discuss mechanisms, he added. They tend to gravitate toward the nuts and bolts what does it do, how does it work? he said. But you shouldnt ask how does it work but whether it works at all.
People who are born during whooping cough epidemics and survive them are more likely to die prematurely later in life, according to a new study analysing 158 years of Swedish population data.Lung infections in infancy may do subtle, permanent damage that make adult infections more life-threatening, the authors suggested. Wealthy countries nearly eradicated whooping cough, also known as pertussis, with vaccines introduced in the 1950s. But protection has waned possibly because of safer but weaker new vaccines and cases are soaring. Last year, the United States had its biggest outbreak in 60 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
century.) While measles and scarlet fever killed many children, the survivors had nearly normal life expectancies. But boys born during whooping cough epidemics were 40 per cent more likely to die earlier than normal. Girls born during these epidemics were 20 per cent more likely to die earlier, and they also were more likely to later have miscarriages and have children who died in infancy. The results suggest that the long-term dangers of whooping cough should be studied and that women who had it in infancy should be monitored in pregnancy, said the lead author, Luciana Quaranta, a doctoral candidate at Lund University.
A new analysis has found that many new techniques and medicines are either no more eective than the old ones, or worse. Moreover, many doctors persist in practices that have been shown to be useless or harmful. Scientists reviewed each issue of The New England Journal of Medicine from 2001 through 2010 and found 363 studies examining an established clinical practice. In 146 of them, the currently used drug or procedure was found to be no better, or even worse, than the one previously used. The report appeared in the August issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. More than 40 per cent of established practices studied were found to be ineective or harmful, 38 per cent benecial, and the remaining 22 per cent unknown. Among the practices found to be ineective or harmful were the

neck and pain in the limbs. Paralytic polio has symptoms such as abnormal sensation, diculty breathing, diculty swallowing, urinary retention, drooling, constipation, muscle pains and spasms and even mood swings. Some neurological illnesses such as Guillan Barre and transverse myelitis imitate signs and symptoms of polio and cause acute accid paralysis. Polio varies in type depending on the severity of the disease and the by location in the central nervous system. Non-paralytic polio (abortive polio) normally presents with flu like symptoms like fever, sore throat, and even an upset stomach and is the most recognisable and dramatic. The body becomes paralysed in the arms, legs and other parts of the body. Paralytic polio has several types, based on the part of your body thats affected spinal cord (spinal polio), brainstem (bulbar polio) or both (bulbospinal polio). Laboratory conrmation of cases of poliomyelitis involves isolating the virus in a stool sample. The sample must be collected, stored and safely transported. A clinical history is also taken as well as a history of exposure and vaccination. There is no cure for polio. Symptoms are managed as they appear. Those with non-paralytic polio should be monitored, should they progress to paralytic polio. they should be monitored for signs of respiratory failure and therapy given as need arises. This could be in form of respiratory support when breathing becomes dicult. For those who survive; polio paralysis remains more or less the same for several days and even weeks before the recovery process, which takes place over several months and even years, begins. Physical therapy, leg braces and even orthopedic surgery may be required in order to improve function. The Ministry of Health gives out free Oral Polio Virus (OPV) at government clinics across the country at birth, six weeks and at 10 weeks. Polio vaccine given multiple times is capable

of protecting a child for life. Supplemental vaccination is done when there is a suspected case of polio in the country as was done in the recent months by the government following the outbreak of polio in Daadab. Two forms of the vaccine, IPV (Inactivated Polio Vaccine) and OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine) are available. Heath education on sanitation and hygiene must accompany immunisation campaigns to sensitise the public. Organisations such as GPEI (Global Polio Eradication Initiative), the largest public health initiative in the world; have made strides in responding to outbreaks of polio. GPEI was adopted 1988 at the World Health Assembly. Since its inception cases of polio fell by over 99 per cent. It ensures large scale immunisation activities in infected countries and this helps prevent it spreading to neighbouring countries. Polio eradication has a strategy that is four pronged. It includes having national days committed to immunisation, routine immunisation, mop -up of cases and disease surveillance. Kenya has the Polio Eradication program rolled out in order to eradicate polio in collaboration with other organisations. By Dr Torooti Mwirigi . Send your health questions to nation@askadoc.co.ke
KNOW YOUR BODY HOW THE POLIO VACCINE WORKS

When a person is exposed to the polio virus, it quickly replicates in the throat and intestines and then enters the bloodstream. From here the polio virus enters the central nervous system, where it multiplies and attacks the motor neuron cells that control the muscles for the trunk, arms and legs as well as for swallowing, respiration and circulation. The immune system attempts to build a defense against the virus by producing substances known as antibodies and creating a memory of this experience. A successful defense results in the individual developing immunity and the next time the person encounters that virus, the antibodies that circulate in the bloodstream prevent it from causing disease, or decrease the diseases severity, and eliminate the virus from the body. The Oral Polio vaccine (OPV) works in two ways. One by producing antibodies in the blood to all three types of poliovirus, and in the event of infection, this protects the individual against polio paralysis by preventing the spread of poliovirus to the nervous system in a manner similar to the immune system response. Second, the virus also produces a local immune response in the lining of the intestines. The antibodies produced here inhibit the multiplication of subsequent infections of naturally occurring virus. During this time, the vaccine-virus is also excreted from the body. In areas of inadequate sanitation, this excreted vaccine-virus can spread in the immediate community and this can oer protection to other children through passive immunisation. The oral polio vaccine is a mixture of live attenuated poliovirus strains of each of the three serotypes. Live attenuated vaccines are derived from the naturally occurring virus. They are selected for their ability to mimic the immune response following infection with wild polioviruses, but with a signicantly reduced incidence of spreading to the central nervous system. In very rare instances, people can become sick from the vaccine resulting in vaccine associated paralysis. In Kenya, infants receive four doses of trivalent OPV before one year of age with the rst dose is given immediately at birth or within two weeks of birth (birth dose) and the other three doses should be given at 6, 10 & 14 weeks of age.
not aware that they have polio and go around unaware of the infection. The virus gains access to the body through the mouth usually from hands contaminated with stool of an infected person. The stool comes into the body through contaminated water or food. The virus then multiplies in the intestine. The person becomes infectious between seven to eight days and the
virus remains present and contagious in the throat and feaces. The virus stays in the throat for around one week and is excreted for approximately three to six weeks. Some of the predisposing factors to polio are overcrowding, poor sanitation, and poor or low standards of personal hygiene. Identied cases of polio are normally immediately reported
to the notification center at the Ministry of Health. One laboratory-conrmed case of polio is considered an outbreak. Weekly reporting continues for purposes of surveillance and monitoring of outbreaks across all medical institutions. The extent and severity of the disease determines the symptoms. Initial symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, and stiness in the
There is no cure for Polio. Symptoms are managed as they appear. Those with non-paralytic polio should be monitored, should they progress to paralytic polio.
