Fate of IEBC

T
he fate of the Independent
Electoral and Boundaries Com-
mission will be one of the main
issues expected to be on the debate
calendar after the National Assembly
resumes its sittings today. A petition
CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
led by activist Wafula Buke, who is
seeking to send home nine electoral
commissioners, is still before the Jus-
tice and Legal Aairs Committee of
the National Assembly.
The committee is expected to
make recommendation to the full
House on whether to send home the
nine ocials. One of the committee
members said their report could be
ready by Thursday.
Also pending before the National
Assembly is the scrutiny of the Sh14.9
billion contract awarded to Safaricom
to put up surveillance systems in
major towns, including Nairobi and
Mombasa as part of a government
project to combat insecurity and
terrorism.
Disbanding the electoral com-
mission and improving security
nationally are two of the 13 points
that the Opposition alliance, Cord,
wants addressed. Cord leaders are
expected in Mombasa today where
they will hold talks on how to move
their agenda forward, including the
push for national referendum.
Besides IEBC and the Safaricom
contract, MPs are also likely to debate
six laws that need to be passed before
August 27, when Kenya will mark four
years since the passing of the 2010
Constitution. This is in addition to
the Finance Bill, which implements
taxation measures discussed in the
Budget Statement presented by the
National Treasury Cabinet Secre-
tary, Mr Henry Rotich, in June and
the stalled Division of Revenue Bill
now being discussed by a mediation
committee.
Yesterday, Majority Leader Aden
Duale said that another proposed law
the Consumer Protection Act, one
of the eight Bills with a deadline set
in the Constitution, was passed in
2012. The Victim Protection Bill
sponsored by Mbita MP Millie Odhia-
mbo-Mabona will full provisions on
the right to a fair hearing as stated in
the Constitution.
The Bills yet to be published are; the
Fair Administrative Action Bill, the
Persons Deprived of Liberty Bill, the
Environmental Management Coordi-
nation Amendment Bill, the Public
Audit Bill, the Procurement and Asset
Disposal Bill and the Public Service
(Values and Principles) Bill.
The chairman of the Constitution
Implementation Oversight Com-
mittee, Mr Njoroge Baiya, told the
Nation that his team was concerned
at the failure by the Executive to
submit the Bills provided for in the
Constitution.
We have concerns about the
Freedom of Information Bill and the
Data Protection Bill. Those are very
important Bills and we understand
FILE | NATION
A past session of the National Assembly. Members resume sittings today and one of the issues on the
cards is debate on the fate of nine IEBC commissioners whose tenure has been challenged in a peti-
tion by Mr Wafula Buke.
Debate over IEBC
on the cards as
House re-opens
PARLIAMENT | MPs to discuss fate of electoral commissioners and other laws which should be passed before August 27
they have gone through the process
and are now held up at Cabinet level,
said Mr Baiya.
The committee has scheduled a
meeting with the Cabinet Secretary
for Information, Communication and
Technology, Dr Fred Matiangi, this
morning to discuss the matter.
Last week, the Cabinet approved
several Bills including the Ware-
housing Receipt System Bill, which
is meant to reduce post-harvest
losses. Others approved during the
meeting chaired by President Uhuru
Kenyatta included the Public Finance
Management Bill for both National
and County governments as well as
the amendment to the National Youth
General Act (2009).
The Cabinet also drafted regula-
tions to implement devolution laws.
On IEBC, the Justice and Legal Af-
fairs Committee is expected to table
its report by Thursday. If this is done,
it would mark the beginning of debate
on whether the commissioners, led
by chairman Issack Hassan should
be sent home.
Mr Bukes main assertion is that
the commissioners were in serious
violation of the Constitution and
the laws of Kenya, were involved in
gross misconduct in performance
of their functions and duties and
were responsible for incompetence
in the management of the elections
in 2013.
In their defence, the commissioners
have said that Mr Bukes petition was
incompetent, misconceived and led
in bad faith.
It is an abuse of, by the petitioner,
a legitimate process vested in the
National Assembly by the Constitu-
tion, they said in a reply handed to
the committee headed by Mr Samuel
Chepkonga.
The commissioners have argued
that Mr Bukes petition was in vio-
lation of the Constitution because
the law requires that he should le a
petition in respect of each member
of the IEBC rather than an omnibus
one for all nine members.
By lumping the members together
in one petition alleging grounds for
their removal without any supporting
facts and in violation of the Consti-
tution and the laws, the petitioner is
seeking for the summary trial and
collective punishment of the com-
missioners in gross violation of their
fundamental human rights to fair trial
and human dignity, they said.
The commissioners targeted in
Mr Bukes petition are; Ms Lilian
Bokeeye Mahiri-Zaja, Mr Abdullahi
Sharawe, Mr Thomas Letangule,
Mr Mohammed Alawi Hussun, Mr
Albert Camus Onyango Bwire, Mr
Kule Galma Godana, Dr Yusuf Nzibo
and Ms Muthoni Wangai.
We have
concerns
about the
Freedom of
Information
Bill and
the Data
Protection
Bill. Those are
very important
Bills and we
understand
they have gone
through the
process and
are now held
up at Cabinet
level.
Njoroge Baiya,
committee chair

ried a story of an ongoing court case under the title Don takes

which may have implied that she was herself engaged in that
suit as an active litigant. We wish to clarify that Justice Nzioka
is not a party in that case and apologise to her, her family and
associates for any embarrassment or misunderstanding that
may have been caused to them by the article.

WORLD CUP | Winning goal was choreographed and scored by substitutes
Final match makes history on Facebook
BY ISAAC SWILA
iswila@ke.nationmedia.com
AND AGENCIES
T
he Fifa World Cup final
between Germany and
Argentina was the biggest
sporting event in Facebooks his-
tory, but failed to become the most
tweeted sports encounter.
There were 280 million interac-
tions during the game, breaking
the previous record of 245 million
held by the 2013 American Super
Bowl.
Data released by the social
media site showed the 280 mil-
lion interactions came from 88
million people.
The gures appeared to show
that interest in the World Cup
had not subsided in the United
States despite their teams exit,
with 10.5 million of those coming
from there.
Ten million people interacted in
Brazil, seven million in Argentina
and ve million in Germany.
Most talked about
German star Mario Gotze and
Argentina skipper Lionel Messi
were the most talked about play-
ers.
Facebook also revealed that
while the nal whistle and Gotzes
goal were the most talked about
moments, Messis free-kick that
ew over the bar at the death of
extra-time was the third.
Despite the game being the
crowning moment of what has
been a truly memorable tourna-
ment, it failed to become the most
Tweeted about sporting event.
The 7-1 win for Germany over
the hosts holds onto that particu-
lar record.
Sunday nights game generated
a total of 32.1 million Tweets, fewer
than the 35.6 million for the shock-
ing mauling last Tuesday.
An important statistic is the
fact that Germanys winning goal
was choreographed and scored by
substitutes.
Andre Schurrle, of Chelsea in
England, who replaced 23-year-old
Christoph Kramer after he was in-
jured, sprinted down the left.
He outwitted an exhausted Ar-
gentine defence, before nding
Gotze, an 88th minute substitute
for Miroslav Klose, who nished
o the move with a sublime vol-
ley after chesting the ball in the
six-yard box.
Germany emerged as the team
to have scored the most goals in
Brazil, buoyed by their seven-goal
explosion against the hosts, but
Argentina is tied for the cleanest
sheets in the tournament.
Records also show that a total
of nine goals have been scored in
the last six World Cup nals. In
2010, Spain and the Netherlands
went 116 minutes without a goal
before Andrs Iniesta scored the
match-winner. This came three
minutes late later than Goetze
winning goal, which was scored
in the 113 minute.
A record 34.65 million Germans
watched the nail-biting World Cup
nal pitting powerhouses Ger-
many and Argentina against each
other on Sunday evening, viewing
gures showed on Monday.
The match, broadcast from 9pm
in Germany (10pm East African
time) on Deutsche ARD public
television, beat the previous all-
time record of 32.57 million set
last week by the semi-nal between
Germany and Brazil, the German
news agency DPA reported.
The number, which does not in-
clude the many millions of people
who watched the match in bars
and open-air public viewings, rep-
resents a market share of 86.3 per
cent, the data showed.
Though the Argentines might
have outnumbered the Germans
inside the imposing and iconic Ma-
racana Stadium, it is in Germany
where tens of thousands ocked
to entertainment spots to watch
the match. Celebrations went a
notch higher in the 113th minute
when Bayern Munich winger Mario
Goetze scored the winning goal.
The World Cup nal also turned
out to be a sweet-bitter experience
for German midelder Christoph
Kramer.
A late call-up to the Joachim
Loew-coached side, the 23-year-
old Borussia Monchengladbach
player made his rst appearance
of the tournament in the round of
16 match against Algeria, coming
on as 109th minute substitute.
His moment of glory came in the
Sunday nal when a late injury to
mideld enforcer Sammy Khedira
gave him the chance to start in
footballs grandest stage.
However, he was forced o the
pitch slightly after the half-hour
mark with and injury to pave the
way for Andre Schuerrle, who
contributed to the goal.
Number of goals
The showpiece also gave a
glorious chance to Klose, 36, to
inscribe his name in the history
books, setting a new record of the
highest number of goals scored in
World Cup history after his two
goals in the tournament took his
tally to 16, in four World Cups.
His feat smashed the record set
by the great Brazilian Ronaldo,
who scored 15 goals in three
World Cup nals in 1998, 2002
and 2006.
Interestingly, both Germany
and Argentina failed to score an
additional goal that was required
to set a new record.
The tournament came close, but
fell short of breaking the 171-goal
record set in France 1998.
Mario Goetzes goal meant that
the 2014 showpiece tied with
France 1998 on 171 goals.
While Brazil is still far o the
average goals per match records
the World Cups of the 1930s
and 1950s averaged nearly twice
as many goals. World Cup expan-
sion has led to a much higher total
overall.

P
ublic servants are facing the
possibility of mass trans-
fers and potential job losses
after the government embarked
on a programme to re-organised
government workers at both the
national and county levels.
Under the far-reaching changes,
public servants will be moved
to understaffed ministries or
departments while others will
be transferred to work under
county governments. Employees
of State corporations, especially
those whose responsibilities have
been devolved, are also likely to
be transferred.
Launching the programme yes-
terday, Devolution and Planning
Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru
and the chairman of the Public
Service Commission, Prof Mar-
garet Kobia, went out of their way
to allay fears that the changes will
result in job cuts.
The purpose of rationalisation
is not to retrench people, Prof
Kobia said at a media brieng. It
will enable us know who requires
to be redeployed or retrained.
However, Mr Tom Odege,
who is the secretary-general of
the Union of Kenya Civil Serv-
ants, said no worker would be
retrenched against their will.
We are trying to encourage a
situation where public servants
retire voluntarily instead of being
retrenched against their will,
said Mr Odege on the sidelines
of yesterdays event at Harambee
House, Nairobi. This will entail
a budget to cater for an attractive
package to those willing to retire
voluntarily.
The re-organisation, said Prof
Kobia, would be completed by
November and recommendations
implemented before the end of
the current nancial year.
Already, the rules on how the
secretariat will be set up and man-
aged have been gazetted.
Ms Waiguru said the aim of
the changes will be to review
functions and stang at the two
levels of government against their
respective mandates.
The rationalisation will
involve... undertaking human
resource and skills audit, sta
redeployment and transfers
where necessary, she said.
Ultimately, the implementation
of the programme will facilitate
ecient and eective utilisation
of the resources and build on the
ongoing reform agenda of trans-
forming the public service.
Kisii Governor James Ongwae,
who represented the Council of
Governors at the launch, also
maintained that the re-organisa-
tion would yield positive results
such as promotions and retrain-
ing of staff to improve their
competence.
Once the exercise is complete,
there will be redeployment both
horizontally and vertically be-
tween the national and county
levels as well as within the county
governments, he said.
Ms Waiguru said the pro-
gramme would be implemented
with utmost professionalism
and that it would comply with
all the necessary legal and con-
stitutional requirements.
A redress mechanism has been
established for public servants or
any other stakeholder aggrieved
by the programme, she said,
revealing that a circular detail-
ing how the programme will be
carried out had already been sent
to civil servants.
You can see from the rep-
resentation here that this is an
all-inclusive process, you can
see the civil servants union, the
county governments, the SRC, the
public service and even the CIC
are all represented in the team. We
hope this will ensure the exercise
is not politicised, she said.
It is estimated that there
are 70,000 public servants at
the national government and a
similar number in the 47 county
governments.

An abandoned building has
been torched by a gang at Ras
Kitau on Manda Island, Lamu
County.
The building, constructed
three decades ago, had been
abandoned for about 20
years.
Police yesterday visited the
scene and collected ash and
other material for analysis
before questioning the work-
ers and neighbours.
Mr Georey Mwagandi, a
worker, said he heard a huge
explosion on Sunday night. It
was accompanied by a fire,
which damaged the property
after the Fifa World Cup
nal between Germany and
Argentina.
The building is owned by an
Italian investor.
Saw a huge re
I heard a bang shortly after
getting into our house. When
I rushed out, I saw a huge re
engulng the main building,
said Mr Mwagandi.
Mr Julius Fondo, another
worker, told the Nation that
he heard dogs barking and
saw a group of men walking
towards the gate before set-
ting the building on re and
running away.
I was gripped with fear
because I thought they were
armed. I rushed towards my
neighbours house but on look-
ing back I saw them torch the
building, said Mr Fondo.
Lamu West police boss Amos
Cheboi said investigations had
begun. The incident was not a
terror attack, he added.
This is the work of arsonists
taking advantage of the current
situation to cause problems,
said Mr Cheboi.
Security ocers yesterday
combed the area, searching
for the criminals.
Lamu County has witnessed
several attacks in the past
month, with the most recent
raid taking place at Jima Farm
on Sunday. Gunmen on foot
shot in the air before looting
homes and harvesting green
maize from the farm.
The attacks in the county
started on the night of June 15
and 16, when gunmen raided
Mpeketoni town and killed 60
people. They also burnt prop-
erty, including vehicles and a
police station.
Subsequent attacks in other
areas within the devolved unit
have led to more deaths and the
displacement of residents.

ATHMAN OMAR | NATION
The building in Lamu County that was torched by gangsters on
Sunday night.
ATTACKS | Residents says gunmen had time to deliver a 30-minute Jihadist sermon mainly in Somali and Arabic
twice, forcing villagers to ee in their
hundreds. After the raid, they har-
vested maize at a nearby farm as the
owner watched before storming into
a mosque at Pandanguo where they
delivered a Jihadist sermon.
They had found the worshippers
deep in Taraweeh prayer performed
by Muslims in the Holy month of
Ramadhan.
Pandanguo and Jima residents in
Lamu County have borne the brunt
of ruthless gunmen, who have been
linked to recent gory killings of at least
87 people in Lamu County.
According to locals, about 50 heav-
ily armed gunmen entered the mosque
and found six Kenya Police Reservists
among the worshippers and ordered
them not to pick up their ries which
they had placed on prayer mats.
Mr Fumo Abdallah, who was among
the six police reservists disarmed by
the gunmen, told Nation the attackers
threatened to kill them if they refused
to surrender the guns issued to them
by the government.
They told us that we are in posses-
sion of illegal weapons and we should
surrender them if we wanted to live,
said Mr Abdallah.
The residents are predominantly
from the semi-nomadic Awer com-
munity, popularly known as Boni.
They depend on wild fruits and honey,
and hunt small wild animals like dik
dik for meat.
Nation reporters arrived in the two
far-ung villages after passing through
a forest with diverse ecosystem of
vegetable and wildlife classied by
conservationists as endangered.
The ecosystem provides suitable
hideouts for the raiders, who rst
attacked last Friday and disarmed
six police reservists and returned on Saturday to harvest green maize
from a one and a half acre farm on
the outskirts of Jima village.
Speaking to Nation at Pandanguo
yesterday, Mr Abdalla said the gun-
men interrupted the prayer session
led by Imam Adan Vaye before one
of them took to the podium to deliver
a 30-minute Jihadist sermon mainly
in Somali and Arabic, while another
translated the same in Kiswahili be-
fore the frightened worshippers.
The main speaker who delivered
the sermon was a young bearded man,
with his Kiswahili translator by his
side. He asked us to support them to
wage Jihad. We reluctantly responded
In-sh-Allah (God willing), he said.
Mr Sharuti Ali, another
reservist, said the gunmen who en-
tered the mosque with their shoes on,
rst ordered him and ve colleagues
to stand before the worshippers and
declared them indels (non-believers)
for working with the Kenya govern-
ment to send troops to Somalia.
We were paraded before the rest of
the worshippers and declared kars
(non-believers). They then took us out
of the mosque and asked us to choose
between our lives and retaining the
rifles. We were taken back to the
mosque after we pleaded with them
to spare our lives, said Mr Ali.
In the mosque, he said the gunmen
continued with the Jihad sermon, say-
ing they were Al-Shabaab members
on a mission to ght injustice and
persecution of Muslims in Kenya.
We were shaken by their sermon
and they warned us against working
with the government. We responded
In-Sh-Allah, because we couldnt say
anything to the contrary, he said.
Mr Said Jarajara Tototo said he
was perplexed by the gunmen be-
haviour.
Question them
We never dared to question them
because everyone feared for his life.
They were armed with heavy weap-
ons. Each one had two ries, small
bags on their backs and many other
types of equipment we have never
seen before, he said.
On Saturday morning, a Kenya
Defence Force team in armoured
personnel carriers went to Jima with
more than 100 soldiers going into the
forest to pursue the attackers.
Residents said Kenya Air Force jets
overew Gorji and Belasange forests
where the gunmen are believed to be
hiding.
Lamu county commissioner Njega
Miiri said KDF are involved in massive
operations to ush out the gunmen.
We are doing everything to ensure
they are ushed out of their hideouts.
The operation will be carried out until
normalcy returns in this county, he
said.

S
ix more people have died after
consuming contaminated alco-
hol in Eldoret Town.
The deaths of a polytechnic tutor,
a secondary school teacher and four
other people brought to 27 the number
of the victims of poison alcohol in
the North Rift.
The six died on Sunday night at
Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital
(MTRH).
The rst deaths blamed on bad
alcohol were reported in Nandi
County, where seven people perished
on Wednesday. They had consumed
four alcohol brands.
Two others died the following
morning.
Seven others, among them univer-
sity and secondary school students,
died in similar circumstances on
Saturday in Uasin Gishu County.
The county has so far lost 13 lives to
bad alcohol.
Among the victims on Sunday
were a physics teacher at Wareng
High School and a tutor at Eldoret
Polytechnic.
Postmortem examinations of the
bodies began yesterday.
A man said to have drunk contami-
nated alcohol at Kapsowar in Elgeyo
Marakwet County was admitted to the
MTRH yesterday morning.
The hospital has urged neighbour-
ing counties to watch out for possible
alcohol-related deaths.
Dr Wilson Aruasa, the deputy
director of clinical services at the
hospital, said most of the victims
died at the emergency section dur-
ing admission.
These cases have assumed
epidemic proportions and we are re-
questing the neighbouring counties
to be on high alert.
The medic said most of the patients
were treated and discharged.
Out of 64 admissions, 13 have since
died while 25 have been discharged.
Five women are still in the hospital
but were in stable condition.
Dr Aruasa said many of those who
died in the hospital arrived in poor
conditions. The hospital has ran out
of good alcohol that is administered
to the patients. We have only three
pints of good alcohol that can be ad-
ministered through the veins, which
we have reserved for the most extreme
cases, Dr Aruasa said.
Otherwise, we are administering
treatment orally to the patients.
The doctor said 21 people arrested
in drinking dens at the weekend and
brought to the referral hospital had
been treated and released except
ve. The victims were aged between
16 and 36.
Police and county health ocials
have banned the sale of suspect wines
and spirits in Uasin Gishu and Nandi
counties. We are leaving nothing to
chance because we realise theres con-

It is the reason we are conduct-

Some revellers in Eldoret want
those who collect empty bottles to

were hired by traders running illegal
bottling rms. One such bottler is in

They said good alcohol was ex-

Two brands of spirit distilled by a

He said roads were being

The tarmacking of 2,000

In fact, the police service is
recruiting 10,000 youths to boost
the current numbers while 2,000

T
he controversial Artur brothers
saga came back to haunt Kirin-
yaga Governor Joseph Ndathi
as he was put to task over his role in
the Armenians stay in Kenya.
Mr Ndathi was at pains to explain
that his posting to the ministry of
Foreign Aairs where he chaired the
committee that approved the purchase
of the Kenyan Embassy in Tokyo was
not a cover up of his involvement in
the Artur brothers saga.
He denied fast-tracking the is-
suance of work permits to Artur
Margaryan and Artur Sargsyan,
saying any foreigner who met the
qualications could be issued with
the permit within an hour.
It is not true that work permits
were issued to them with my knowl-
edge as the director of immigration.
The permits can be issued within one
hour so long as one has the necessary
documents. That cannot be fast-track-
ing, said Mr Ndathi.
He added that he was aware a joint
parliamentary committee named him
as a key suspect in the issuance of
passports to the brothers and he was
also aware that the committee recom-
mended his investigation.
I am aware, ready and waiting for
those investigations. It is, however,
not true that I was moved due to any
shortcoming or as a cover up for the
Artur brothers. It was a normal gov-
ernment transfer, he said.
The governor was being cross-
examined by lawyer Wilfred Nderitu
during the hearing of a case in which
former Foreign Affairs PS Thuita
Mwangi, former ambassador to Libya
Anthony Muchiri and former Charg
dAaires Allan Mburu are accused of
fraud in procuring the Sh1.1 billion
Kenya embassy and ambassadors
residence in Tokyo.
Mr Nderitu said that Mr Ndathi was
transferred to the ministry of Foreign
Aairs as a cover up for his role in the
Artur brothers saga. The two Armeni-
ans were allegedly hired by the State
to set up a unit inside the CID that
would tackle organised crime.
They had free rein but it turned out
that they were mercenaries, hit-men,
drug dealers and arms trackers with
connections to powerful people in the
government. They were later deported
out of Kenya.
The hearing continues.

Six people on trial for kidnap-

Nairobi chief magistrate Helena
Ndungu yesterday said that after
the investigations ocer, Mr John
Shegu wound up his evidence, it
was clear the prosecutions account

The court had been told that part

Police traced money
Mr Shegu had recounted how
police traced the money wired
through M-Pesa to Mr Raphael
Nderitu alias Ali Maina, and at an
M-Pesa shop owned by one of the
suspects in Umoja, Nairobi.
Ms Charity Gathigi, Ms Judy
Wambui, Ms Anne Njeri, Ms Pu-

alongside Mr Nderitu have denied
the kidnap charge stating they de-
manded a Sh5 million ransom from

A
delay in enactment of two laws
is holding back the proposed
merger and dissolution of state
corporations, some of which owe the
government billions of shillings.
The secretariat implementing the
reforms yesterday said restructuring
and harmonisation of the parastatals
would not take place until the National
Assembly enacts two Bills the Gov-
ernment Owned Entities (GOEs) Bill
and the National Sovereign Wealth
Fund Bill.
The two proposed laws have been
forwarded to the Commission for the
Implementation of the Constitution
(CIC) for review and approval.
Ms Jane Mugambi, the State
Corporations Advisory Committee
secretary, said the laws would pave
the way for implementation of the
reforms that are meant to make the
corporations ecient and reduce the
nancial burden they have placed on
the government.
The draft GOE Bill 2014 seeks to re-
duce the parastatals, under new names
with broad mandates, and establish
the structure of their administration
and channels of funding.
It describes itself as a Bill for an
Act of Parliament to provide a unied
and comprehensive framework for the
establishment of government-owned
entities; to provide for their classica-
tion, management and governance.
The National Sovereign Wealth
Fund Bill will establish a fund into
which a percentage of proceeds from
exploitation of natural resources will
be deposited.
Share of the national revenue
A share of the national revenue
will also go into the fund that will be
aimed at helping target communities
and cushioning the economy from
global nancial turbulence.
Ms Mugambi said her team would
meet with the CIC tomorrow to dis-
cuss the Bills. Since most of the state
corporations were established under
Acts of Parliament, we cannot move
until the GOE goes through Parlia-
ment.
The commission has invited the
public to submit their views on the
proposed laws.

A judge has dismissed claims
that she was biased in a multi-
million land dispute between a
cement manufacturer and a real
estate rm.
Lady Justice Pauline Nyamweya
ruled that there was no evidence
that she was biased in the Sh750
million dispute between East Af-
rican Portland Cement Company
(EAPCC) and Superior Homes
Limited.
Bias is when a judge shows fa-
vour to one side. But in this case,
I have considered arguments made
by the EAPCC on claims of bias and
cannot identify any evidence... This
court is discharging its constitu-
tional mandate, ruled the judge.
The cement maker had applied
to have Lady Justice Nyamweya
disqualify herself from hearing
the case citing bias.
Superior Homes
The company had argued that
the judge failed to determine all
issues placed before her and only
picked those raised by Superior
Homes.
Judge Nyamweya ruled: It is
inevitable that in every conten-
tious litigation, there must be a
decision, which will favour one
party and disfavour another. If
the other party is aggrieved, their
recourse is to apply for a review or
invoke appellate jurisdiction, and
not to claim bias.
Although she went ahead to
disqualify herself from handling
the dispute, she declined to refer
it to Chief Justice Willy Mutunga
as the cement maker had applied.
Instead, she transferred the le to
Justice Mary Gitumbi, who will give
further directions on July 16.

Agriculture Cabinet Secre-
tary Felix Koskei has dismissed
reports of a looming food
shortage.
Addressing journalists
in Kericho County at the
weekend, Mr Koskei (below)
criticised the people claiming
that the country was facing a
food crisis.
Many times, we hear some
people saying we are food in-
secure. Nothing can be further
from the truth. Our projections
show that at the start of the
harvest season in September,
we will still have a surplus of
600,000 bags of maize,
he said.
Farmers in
North Rift,
Kenyas larg-
e s t
food basket, are expected to
start harvesting their maize
crop in mid-September.
Mr Koskei said Kenyans
had begun diversifying their
diets. They were no longer
solely relying on maize but
were embracing other types
of food, including rice, he
added.
The minister criticised farm-
ers hoarding maize harvested
last season, hoping that a
shortage of the cereal could
cause its price to shoot up.
They should release the
maize as the prices will not
go up. The price of a 50-kilo-
gramme bag has dropped from
Sh3,500 to Sh2,900 over the
past few months. From next
month, it will go down further,
he said.
Mr Koskei denied allega-
tions that the government
was behind the inux of
maize from
Tanzania over
the last couple
of months.

A
Nairobi restaurant is seeking
Sh88 million in compensation
from the Catholic Church for
being evicted from their premises in
Westlands, Nairobi.
Al Yusra Restaurant wants the
Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops
and Knight Frank Kenya compelled
to pay the money after it was stopped
from operating at Waumini House.
We have been locked out on the
basis that the bishops cannot accept to
have a business owned and operated
by Somali Muslims at their property,
despite a lease having been signed
and rent paid, said Mr Rahma Jillo,
for Al Yusra.
According to the restaurant, the
action was discriminatory.
This is a violation of the Constitu-
tion by the bishops, who should be at
the forefront of preaching unity and
religious tolerance. This calls for
urgent intervention by this court,
said Mr Jillo.
According to an adavit sworn
by Mr Baakai Maalim Kulmia, for Al
Yusra, the bishops had oered the
restaurant space for a six-year term
on December 1, 2013, and rent was
to be paid from February 1.
The oer was made through two
of their agents, one of them being
Knight Frank.
Mr Kulmia claims that prior to the
oer, Knight Frank had asked for a
letter to conrm that Al Yusra was
operating a viable business and would
be able to meet its obligations to the
landlord. He says Sh2 million was paid
to Knight Frank when they accepted
the oer on December 3, 2013.
He also claims that the bishops,
through Knight Frank, handed
over the premises for partitioning,
renovations and installation of the
necessary ttings for a restaurant
on January 23.
The refurbishment was completed
at the end of March, with business set
to start on April 1. Mr Alex Kamau,
from Obra International, put the cost
of refurbishment, equipment and fur-
niture at Sh18 million.
According to Al Yusra, a nancial
consultant estimated that the business
would have made Sh68 million if it
had been allowed to operate.
Al Yusra also wants rent and deposit
refund of Sh2 million.
High Court judge Isaac Lenaola
yesterday asked the bishops and
Knight Frank to respond to the case
within 21 days. The case will be heard
on August 5.

P
olice are being investi-

during the recent security
operation in Eastleigh, Nai-

out illegal immigrants.
Independent Policing
Oversight Authority (IPOA)
Chairman Macharia Njeru
yesterday said the watchdog
had identified 29 officers
whom it would recommend
for prosecution once al-
legations against them are
substantiated.
Mr Njeru (right) said the
authority had established
that ocers in the operation
dubbed Usalama Watch
demanded bribes of between
Sh1,000 and Sh20,000.
The authority, which in-
vestigated the abuse claims,
also received complaints that
detainees were beaten during
arrest and in police stations.
Police ocers should, at
all times, strive to accord de-
tained persons their right as
stipulated in the Constitution,
says an IPOA report released
in Nairobi yesterday.
Speaking while releasing
the report, Mr Njeru said
the authority had directed
the National Police Service
to immediately institute in-
vestigation into allegations
of corruption levelled against
ocers in the operation.
The police should carry out
a post-mortem of this opera-
tion with a component of the
public element and report its
finding to IPOA within 90
days, says the report.
It is IPOAs position that
while this operation was in-
tended for a good cause, its
implementation was problem-
atic and wrought with many
challenges.
The crackdown was not
conducted with compliance
with the law or respect for
human rights and fundamen-
tal freedoms envisaged in the
Constitution, according to the
watchdog.
Lessons learnt
It advised the police serv-
ice to put in place measures
to capture lessons learnt in
such operations.
The authority further di-
rected Inspector-General of
Police David Kimaiyo to es-
tablish a command structure
for the service for ecient
administration, arguing that
the operation lacked a com-
mand structure.
Mr Kimaiyo has 90 days
to do so and provide a report
to the authority. Failing to
act on IPOAs lawful order or
directions is an oence under
Section 31 of the IPOA Act,
attracting a ne of Sh500,000

Cutting bloated public
service is the solution
T
here is no doubt about the governments
commitment to reducing the huge
public service wage bill. This has been
demonstrated at the highest level, with the decision
by President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President
William Ruto to take a 20 per cent salary cut.
However, this symbolic gesture alone does not go
far enough. In fact, it merely scratches the surface
of an enormous challenge that calls for more
rigorous and full-blooded measures.
The salary deduction should not mask the
real problem, which is a bloated workforce. The
government and its various departments employ far
too many people, gobbling up resources that could
go into creating wealth and spurring development.
Instead of hiding behind fancy terms such as
rationalisation and right-sizing, the government
would do better if it came out bluntly and talked
about the need to retrench some employees.
This term may not sound politically correct, and
the top leadership may fear a possible backlash in
terms of loss of support or unpopularity. However,
it is certainly the way to go.
In any case, retrenchment is nothing new. It has
been done in the past when the government faced
a similar challenge. Instead of beating about the
bush, it will be in the interest of all to shed the
extra numbers and ease the countrys burden.
The only condition is that it should be done fairly
and those sent home speedily compensated. What
is needed is a lean and manageable public service
that enables resources to be released to areas where
they can be used more benecially than merely
paying salaries.
Devolution and Planning Secretary Anne Waiguru
and Public Service Commission chief Margaret
Kobia have been quick to allay fears that the
planned rationalisation will result in job losses.
But to succeed in what it has set out to do, the
government needs to realistically and boldly deal
with the real problem without skirting around it.
T
he biggest problem in
Kenya is our refusal
to face the facts. We
are forever pointing ngers,
chasing shadows, creating
scapegoats, burying our
heads in the sand and
sweeping everything under
the carpet.
As long as we refuse to
acknowledge the real issues
that confront us, we will
never nd the solutions.
Terrorists whether
homegrown secessionist
bandits or Al-Shabaab
inltrators from
neighbouring Somalia
seem to be running free
and unchallenged in a large
swathe of the Coast region,
but a pathetically politicised
national security apparatus
cannot confront the grave
threat because it is busy
covering up for its own
inadequacies by making
scapegoats of the legitimate
political opposition.
Kenyans continue to die
in record numbers from
poisonous alcohol, but we
are content to apply Mr
John Mutothos moral police
approach instead of looking
at the socio-economic
conditions that force the
underclass to seek solace
in cheap liquor while the
wealthy are free to indulge
in the priciest champagne
and single-malt Scotch.
Lethal moonshine and
deadly terrorists may be far
removed from each other,
but the fact is that they both
are taking a horrendous toll
on lives. They both expose
the failure of leadership that
ultimately is condemning
Kenyans to untimely and
preventable death.
Both have become such
a terrible scourge because
a government that often
seems to be running away
from its own shadows
is unwilling and unable
to exercise the mandate
bestowed on it by Kenyans
who trooped to polling
stations in record numbers
just over a year ago.
But then, we get the
leaders we deserve, and
if we gave the Jubilee
administration of President
Uhuru Kenyatta and
Deputy President William
Ruto a ve-year mandate,
we have no option but to
endure, unless very, very
legitimate grounds can be
found to send them home
prematurely.
Of course, as Kenyans
we can also demand
accountability. We can
demand that our leaders
live up to their campaign
promises and to their oaths
of oce, and we are armed
with the threat that we can
kick them out come the next
election.
Before the next poll is
called, however, I see very
little option, not even in
the Oppositions demand
for dialogue that has now
morphed into a quest for a
referendum on questions
that have not even been
framed yet.
Cord is, indeed, raising
germane issues of great
national importance, but I
am not persuaded that Mr
Raila Odinga and his band
of merry men are motivated
by purely altruistic motives.
They are living up their
mandate as Opposition,
playing the role of watchdog
and keeping the government
on its toes. That is great
because an opposition that
has been in deep slumber
since the elections more
than a year ago, has nally
woken up.
Only the reactionaries
who yearn for a return
to the days of Kanus
dictatorial one-party rule
can fault Cord for waking up
powerfully to have the high
and mighty in government
scampering around like
headless chicken.
The problem here is
that even as it ups the
decibel count in ticking-o
the Jubilee governments
errors and misdeeds, it too
is running around like a
headless chicken.
I was abbergasted that
after so much noise and so
much time, Cord could still
have its grand mother of
all Saba Saba rally at Uhuru
Park to escalate its demands
from national convention
to a referendum, and yet
fail to put down clearly in
black and white the specic
questions its wants put
down to a vote by Kenyans.
A mishmash of grouses
that are not organised in
any logical sequence, rhyme,
or reason cannot be put on
the referendum ballot paper;
and appointing a committee
to draft the questions after
announcing the quest for
a public poll is putting the
cart before the horse.
The only conclusion one
can draw is that Cord wants
a referendum, not in pursuit
of clearly dened public
interest, but merely as a
way of keeping up political
pressure on the government
through some loud public
campaign.
That is its right, but
Cord must rst regain the
moral high ground, and that
means looking inward at its
own failings and foibles.

GOVERNANCE| Macharia Gaitho
Were hiding our heads in the sand,
hoping our problems will go away
Kenyans still in the dark
R
eports that hundreds of Kenyans are eeing
conict zones at the Coast indicates clearly
that the government is facing a serious
insurrection which should be treated as such,
and every step taken to combat the insurgents by
deploying seasoned soldiers.
The reason Kenya is regarded as being on the
brink of State failure is that a relatively minor
security problem has been allowed to grow into a
major conagration.
What is most alarming is that it is not yet clear
who has been organising and funding this one-
sided conict, which has already destroyed the
tourism industry at the Coast. The same goes for
counties in the North-East.
Our security forces have scored a few triumphs,
but the fact that these marauders have begun
raiding food trucks and harvesting grain from
farms before melting back into the forests means
they are determined to dig in for the long haul.
The government must do everything possible to
tell Kenyans what is happening on the war-front,
and to help those displaced to nd shelter and food.

WHY KENYANS ARE DYING | Bart J. Kibati
E
orts are being made
to arrest the runaway
insecurity in various
parts of the country. However,
they have so far been
unsuccessful and Kenyans
can no longer trust their
security organs that appear
overwhelmed.
Following the promulgation
of the new Constitution,
a myriad oversight and
supervisory bodies were
established which, in practice,
hinder the smooth operations
of security organs.
The Inspector-General of
Police Service cannot move
without being held back by
the Police Oversight and
Service commissions. The
NIS Director-General has
to divide his time between
gathering intelligence and
appearing before parliamentary
committees. The tragedy is
that these oversight bodies
comprise some members with
neither security nor intelligence
knowledge or backgrounds.
An obsession with the
regime of President Moi
amongst some of those who
crafted the new Constitution
also made them lose sight of
the fact that he had completed
his term, and behaved as if
they were making an anti-Moi
document.
Rather than address the
salient concerns for Kenyas
security, they focused solely
on shackling the presidency. In
the process, they introduced
articles that are inimical to the
maintenance of law and order
and public security.
What is even more worrying,
there does not seem to be any
coordination among various
security organs. Little criminal
intelligence is gathered in
advance as the security
agencies seem to be more
reactive than preventive.
They have no new ideas and
use the same age-old solutions
for emerging crimes: Deny
anything you can get away
with, issue threats you cannot
carry out, or blame politicians,
facilitators, saboteurs, etc.
Threat of disarmament
is a popular theme but no
one in Turkana, West Pokot,
Baringo, Marsabit or Moyale
counties will surrender their
arms without actual security
guarantees. If threatened
with punitive operations,
they will surrender some old
rarms and acquire more
sophisticated ones. The same
happens in the North Eastern
counties.
Sadly, community policing
is hampered by corruption
and police complicity in crime.
Nyumba Kumi is a noble idea,
but it glosses over police
failure to establish networks
that can prevent crime.
Serious crimes of terrorism,
drug tracking, kidnapping
and carjacking call for more
than just Nyumba Kumi.
Exchange of information
and collaboration in criminal
and security intelligence are
imperative to cover national,
trans-border and trans-
national crimes.
Technical and human
resources properly applied
can help in this endeavour.
How does one explain how a
tout would come all the way
from Naivasha to purchase a
hand-gun in Eastleigh while
the security ocers stationed
there have no clue?
While insecurity has spread
like wildre, politicians have
instead taken turns shouting
at one another, often using
unpalatable language.
The incidents of insecurity
pile up with seemingly no
resolution in sight. Firstly, and
for quite some time, it was
inter-tribal killings in northern
Kenya, mainly attributed
to cattle raids, pasture and
boundary disputes.
Then followed the massacre
of policemen in Suguta
Valley, whose deaths were
considered so insignicant
that no national mourning was
forthcoming.
And then there was the Tana
River bloodbath followed by
poaching, whose scale and
intensity indicate culpability of
well-connected operatives. Not
only does it have an adverse
eect on tourism, it may also
be funding terrorists.
Compounded with this are
the all-too-frequent terrorist
raids ranging from grenade
attacks and shootings to the
catastrophic Westgate siege
and the recent massacre in
Mpeketoni. While politicians
were quick to apportion blame,
the lack of patriotism and
unity of purpose while Kenya
is burning is appalling.
Widows and orphans were
shocked to learn that there
was prior notice of these
attacks yet their loved ones
were left alone! It was ironic
that with the top brass in
Mpeketoni and all eyes
focused there, 15 more lives
were lost. Even more telling
were the Gamba and Hindi
massacres. How many more
Kenyans must die before
someone takes responsibility?
If there was prior knowledge
of the attack in Mpeketoni,
what assistance was given
to the forces on the ground?
Given that this is hostile
territory in a far-ung area,
why was the GSU company at
Mkoe not sent to Mpeketoni
to pre-empt the attack?
Why was there no helicopter
on standby? Who was in
command and the date and
time of the attack?
Politicians should take
security seriously and come
together for the good of
Kenya. Sadly, they only do so
to increase their emoluments.
They should heed the call by
the President that security is
everyones responsibility. They
should let him take charge and
accord him all the necessary
support to secure Kenya.
Mr Kibati a retired Deputy
Commissioner of Police/
Assistant Director of
Intelligence
New law has made it almost impossible
for President to take charge of security
Those who drafted the new law
seem to have been writing an
anti-Moi document
F
ormer President Daniel Moi had
issues with the West and for the
better part of his rule, he always
sought ways to tame their apparent
meddling in the countrys aairs, and
eventually, it ended up not having any
signicant ramications on his rule.
When Mr Mwai Kibaki took over as
President, he continued on the same path
during his rst term. However, things
changed in his second. The post-election
violence played a big role in this, and the
relationship with the West started going
from bad to worse. That led him to start
courting the East.
And when Mr Uhuru Kenyatta took
over the mantle, his leadership carried
Mr Kibakis baggage. Immediately, he was
sworn-in, he embraced the East openly
and in direct deance to the West.
In August 2013, President Kenyatta, in
a well-calculated move, visited China. This
year, the Chinese Premier reciprocated by
visiting Kenya and announcing a number
of goodies. President Kenyatta has been
playing hardball to the West by openly
courting the East.
The West and the East are both ghting
for the crude oil recently discovered in
Turkana. Since independence, our country
has been an ally of the West and they will
not watch the country slip away to the East.
They are going to make our lives miserable.
Due to the security problems the
country has had with Al-Shabaab, Kenya
has joined the alert list of 35 Failed States,
which also has the following countries in
the 2013 ranking: Somalia (1), DRC (2),
South Sudan (4), Chad (5), Zimbabwe
(10), Ivory Coast (12), Nigeria (16), and
Kenya (17), among others.
Most of these countries in Africa have
become failed states because hyenas are
ghting to control the natural resources
they have. Unfortunately, its the workers
who are suering and who will continue
to bear the brunt of this ghting.
Natural resources
Terrorism and armed struggle in Africa
are bankrolled by the hyenas. Their
purpose is to create confusion and obtain
the natural resources cheaply. Kenya like
other African countries is embroiled in an
international problem.
Mali recently discovered uranium, and
as a result, it is having problems with
Touaregs, an Islamic group ghting
against government forces in the north.
The Central African Republic has also
discovered uranium and crude oil and
rebel groups are ghting the government.
As a result, two regimes have been
toppled in the last ve years. In Nigeria,
which is an oil-rich nation, Boko Haram,
an Islamic group, has been ghting
the government of President Goodluck
Jonathan. Libya (oil), DRC (cobalt ore,
copper and diamond) and Sierra Leone
(diamond) have experienced armed
conicts in the past.
There are countries with natural
resources, but they do not have these
problems. They include Botswana, Ghana,
South Africa, Senegal, and Tanzania.
One wonders, why Kenya cannot
emulate these countries. It should develop
international relationship skills that will
enable it to weave through the mess that
the country has found itself in.
For the sake of the workers, Kenya
should sell its oil to the West if that will
bring peace. The leadership should play
smart in international politics.

THE CUTTING EDGE
BY THE WATCHMAN
KILLINGS CONTINUE. Whenever innocent
Kenyans have been slaughtered by gangs, some top
leaders and security ocials have always vowed to
bring the culprits to book. But nothing of the sort has
happened and the killings continue, says Christopher
Kibiwott. Kenyans in every part of the country
deserve better than mere talk. But even more
disappointing for him is to see the security bosses
talking and behaving like politicians.

ARM VIGILANTES. The wave of insecurity,
especially at the Coast and in the north-eastern
region, is worrying, says Thomas Yebei. But even more
disturbing is the apparent inability by the government
to gure out the people behind the attacks and come
up with eective counter-measures. To deal with
these challenges, the government should vet, recruit,
train and arm vigilantes to protect villages under the
supervision of chiefs. This is the best way to deter
further attacks. His contact is tomyebei@yahoo.com.
AMERICAN FLAG? Thankful that the much-hyped
Saba Saba rally in Nairobi went on peacefully contrary
to the fears expressed by security chiefs, Anthony
Mugambi says he was disappointed by the unpatriotic
display by some of the young men who turned up to
listen to the address by Cord leaders Raila Odinga,
Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula. Why were
they ying the American ag? Shouldnt they have
carried ours? Something is not right!
COMPLAINT MISPLACED. Contrary to Jeerson
Mwitis claim that the Higher Education Loans Board
has been unhelpful, corporate communications ocer
Olive Metet says his brother, Jonathan Ngiiri, was
awarded a loan of Sh37,000 for the 2013/14 nancial
year, which has already been disbursed. His second
loan of the same amount for the 2014/15 academic
year, Olive adds, will be paid on October 27. The
board ensures that everyone enrolled for higher
education gets a loan as we work towards achieving
Vision 2030. Olives contact is OMetet@helb.co.ke.
WRITE TO REGULATOR. Nairobi resident Charles
Omondi, who complained about being shortchanged
by a solar power systems agent, can seek redress
through the Energy Regulatory Commission, says
Pavel R. Oimeke, an ocial of the regulator of the
energy sector. Its mandate, Oimeke explains, covers
solar water heating systems, enforced through
the Energy (Solar Water Heating) Regulations
2012. Charles, he adds, should le his complaint
to the ERC through info@erc.go.ke or write to the
director-general. Robert can be reached through
Robert.pavel@erc.go.ke.
BODA BODA OPERATORS SUICIDAL. Boda
boda motorcycle operators are unnecessarily
endangering their own lives, those of their passengers
and other road users, says Nairobi resident Robinson
Ngano. But the most extreme, he adds, is the tendency
to carry unwieldy cargo, including livestock. Imagine a
big cow being carried on a motorbike! Is this ingenuity
or the height of stupidity? Some Kenyans operate very
very dangerously, remarks Robinson, whose contact is

DEBATE QUESTION
What can Kenya
do to develop its
football to World
Cup standard?
Send your comments to:
mailbox@ke.nationmedia.com
E
ducation is an indispensa-
ble investment if we are to
take this country to greater
heights. But that education should
be shaped to meet our development
needs.
That our country has edged to-
wards knowledge economy one
in which people with relevant skills
acquired through rigorous training
are in charge is not in doubt.
What is required is an educational
system that is tailor-made to suit
our economic needs. As currently
constituted, our educational system
is not adequately playing this role.
There exists a disconnect
between our education and the
economy. Education should supply
skilled human capital to drive the
economy, but our colleges and uni-
versities churn out graduates who
can hardly meet the demands of
the job market. Indeed, employers
have already raised the red ag.
Importing software
For instance, we are in dire need
of experts in ICT such as software
developers. And indeed our univer-
sities keep on churning out gradu-
ates in ICT. Yet we keep on import-
ing software programmes. We also
import engineers from China to
build our roads yet engineering
departments in our universities
should prepare graduates to work
practically in this eld.
According to a US report entitled
A Nation at Risk: The Imperative
for Educational Reform of 1983,
the primary role of education is
to attain an enlightened and civil
society, a strong economy, and a
secure nation. The report lamented
that educational foundations were
being eroded by a rising tide of me-
diocrity that threatened the future
of America.
This aptly captures the situation
in Kenya, too. Quality and stand-
ards are the big issues, the cancer
eating up our education. This is
manifest in the way our students
are taught. Emphasis on examina-
tions has seen schools and colleges
resort to rote learning aimed at
enabling students to pass.
Ultimately, this kind of learn-
ing has led to massive erosion of
practical education. Hence our job
markets are ooded with graduates
with good grades, but lacking in
practical know-how.
The solution is to completely
overhaul our curriculum to be re-
sponsive to our economic needs.
Our evaluation methods in schools
and colleges should be looked into.
Kennedy Buhere, the ministry
communication ocer, in one of
his articles, argues that the curricu-
lum is not designed to be exam-ori-
ented and therefore the problem
lies with the implementers, but this
is a debate for another day.
Our education sector is also
poorly funded. That is why we have
inadequate teachers in schools. But
our economy will only grow if we
think seriously about education.

Mumias has been left at the mercy of illegal sugar importers
On the several occasions that President Kenyatta
has made visits to western region, including last
weekend, the main a agenda has been how the gov-
ernment can save the ailing Mumias Sugar Company.
In all these occasions, the President has promised
that the government would save the company that is
struggling with debts. But after all the promises, little
seems to happen, and problems appear to deepen.
While it is true that some of the problems that
have contributed to loss making have been corrup-
tion, mismanagement and sugar politics, it has to
be understood that the major problem today is the
illegal importation of sugar. This is an issue that rest
squarely with government; it has the resources, unlike
individual factories, to stop this illegal trade.
It is sad a fair to watch a major sugar factory that
has been instrumental in the social economic growth
of a region in terms of schools, hospitals and other in-
frastructure, come to her knees while the government
which is a major shareholder watches with little or no
assistance at all.
Mumias is the last big company in the region after
the demise of Pan Paper which the government has
also been promising to revive. It is nonsensical for
the government to encourage the privatisation of the
sugar industry and yet leave the only one that is al-
ready privatised at the mercy of the sugar barons.

While I praise the Kilemi task
force for coming up with measures
to make secondary school education
aordable, some of the recommen-
dations are outrageous and absurd.
For instance, the proposal to im-
pose levies on airtime, fares and fuel
as part of raising funds or merging
less populous schools with others,
have stirred a hornets nest. Taxpay-
ers and teachers will be up in arms.
That education spending totals
Sh308.6 billion in the Budget shows
it is given adequate priority. The
task force, unfortunately, turned a
blind eye on the rampant corruption
in secondary schools, where some
principals run schools like personal
kiosks. In fact, accountability and
transparency have gone to the dogs.

Gados cartoon (Nation, July 12)
depicted the Israeli military as ruth-
less thugs besieging a cowering,
defenceless Palestinian with crude
clubs, while President Obama looks
on alooy defending their right to

The irony is that Israel tolerated
and cooperated with the emerging
radical Islamist movement which
eventually morphed into Hamas, a
militant group that is sworn to Isra-
els destruction.
Meanwhile the rest of the world
watches passively. The pity is, Israel,
the last apartheid regime, does not
receive any condemnation.

World watches passively
as Israel kills neighbours
When three teenagers were ab-
ducted by suspected Hamas mili-
tants, Israel Prime Minister Ben-
jamin Netanyahu vowed to get tough.
True to his words, Israel launched
operation Brothers Keeper to bring
back the teens.The Cabinet approved
recall of over 30,000 army reservists
to help in the extensive operation.
Days later, their bodies were found
in a eld, so it turned out to be a full
scale war against Hamas.
This is the way the government
should react to issues no matter how
insignicant they seem. I do not
want heavy police presence in the
aftermath of crime. I want those who
killed people in Lamu to be brought
to book. I want lives in Garrisa, Tur-
kana and Moyale protected.

GAYISM RISK: If a celebrity comes
out of the closet and declares in

among gays, it is relegated to an
insignicant corner of a daily. (Sat-
urday Nation, July 12, p.41). This is a
reminder to the public at large that
there are grave risks involved when
they indulge in gay sex unless of

LONDON, Monday
T
he Anglican Church has
voted to allow women
to become bishops for
rst time in its history.
The General Synod, by a
two-thirds majority thresh-
old, gave a nal approval to
legislation introducing the
change.
A previous vote in 2012
was backed by the Houses
of Bishops and Clergy but
blocked by traditionalist lay
members.
There was a flurry of
cheers when the result was
announced, despite prior ap-
peal for restraint.
The crucial vote in the
House of Laity went 152 in
favour, 45 against, and ve
abstentions. In November
2012, the change was derailed
by just six votes cast by the
lay members.
In the House of Bishops, 37
were in favour, two against,
and there was one abstention.
The House of Clergy voted 162
in favour, 25 against and there
were four abstentions.
The first woman bishop
could potentially be appointed
by the end of the year.
The vote overturns centu-
ries of tradition in a Church
that has been deeply divided
over the issue. It comes more
than 20 years after women
were rst allowed to become
priests.
The vote followed almost
ve hours of debate at the
University of York.
The motion had the backing
of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury Justin Welby (left) and
Prime Minister David Cam-
eron.
Speaking in the debate,
Archbishop Welby said Church
of England bishops were
committed to meeting their
needs should the legislation
be passed.
The motion contained
concessions for parishes
that would object to the ap-
pointment of a woman bishop,
giving them the right to ask
for a male alternative and to
take disputes to an independ-
ent arbitrator.
In a statement, Arch-
bishop Welby said he was
delighted.
Today marks the start of
a great adventure of seeking
mutual ourishing while still,
in some cases disagreeing.
The challenge for us will be
for the church to model good
disagreement and to continue
to demonstrate love for those
who disagree on theological
grounds. (BBC)

BY KITAVI MUTUA
@KitaviM
kmutua@ke.nationmedia.com
A
senator has threatened to
mobilise residents to bar-
ricade the Kitui-Kibwezi
road if the government does
not start tarmacking it in three
months.
Kitui Senator David Musila
said he would lead demonstra-
tions and sit-ins on the road to
protest failure by the State to set
aside funds for the road in this
years budget.
Mr Musila spoke during a fun-
draiser in aid of Kisekini AIC
Church in Kitui Central.
The road is part of the North-
ern corridor that is expected to
unlock the economic potential of
the county.
The senator accused the
government of turning a blind
eye on the road to punish the
Kamba community for political
reasons.
He said the people are suer-
ing neglect and marginalisation
under the Jubilee administra-
tion.
Lack of political will
It is clear theres no commit-
ment and political will to put
up the road. We will use every
means to pile pressure, even if
it means sub-dividing the land
for people to plant crops, said
Mr Musila.
The residents of Kitui are
taxpayers just like Kenyans in
other regions who are entitled
to services, he said.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musy-
oka recalled how he was duped
by Treasury ocials in 2011 to
introduce Chinese contractors at
a rally in Kibwezi only for the
government to withhold funding
for the road.
Under the Grand Coalition
Government, we concluded the
tendering process and awarded
the contract to Chinese rm Sino
Hydro Construction.
It was a done deal, but Treas-
ury, under then Finance minister
Uhuru Kenyatta, failed to fund
the project, said Mr Kalonzo.
The former Vice-President said
the regime of retired President
Mwai Kibaki had negotiated a $
500 million (Sh43bn in todays
exchange rate) loan from the Ex-
port and Import Bank of China
(Exim Bank) and wondered why
Treasury had failed to sign the
loan agreements.
Mr Kalonzo challenged Mr
Kenyatta to use the 340-kilome-
tre road to experience rst-hand
the hardships that the locals go
through.
The President is expected to
tour Kitui soon.
Mr Musyoka accused Mr
Kenyatta of reneging on his
campaign promises.
The Wiper leader said tarma-
cking the road was not a favour
but a right that the people were
demanding from the govern-
ment.
The road was central to the
country in many ways, he said,
especially for the success of
Vision 2030 that aims to make
Kenya an industrialised nation
in 16 years.
Kitui Governor Julius
Malombe claimed the commu-
nity was aware that funds meant
for the project were diverted to
other politically well-connected
regions.
He wondered why successive
governments used the road as a
political carrot during elections
yet it was the only way for faster
delivery of goods from the Port
of Mombasa to the land-locked
Djibouti, as well as key central
and northern African capitals.
Former Cabinet minister
Titus Mbathi, Senator Nyiva
Mwendwa, Kitui Central MP
Makali Mulu, Mwingi Central
MP Joe Mutambu and Mutitu
MP Mutua Muluvi supported
the protest call.
Estimates by the Ministry of
Transport and Infrastructure had
put the cost of building the road
at Sh50 billion.
According to the regional
roads manager, Mr Lawrence
Atera, the project will start
soon.
He said construction was
likely to begin by the end of
the year.
Once the highway is com-
plete, major renovations of other
facilities will follow. Kitui Gen-
eral Hospital will be upgraded
to a referral status.
Other facilities such as park-
ing bays for long distance trucks
will be built after every 150 kilo-
metres said Mr Atera.
Wiper leader says
Treasury failed to
issue cash after
deal signed in 2011
REACTION
Call to exert intense
pressure on State
It is clear theres no commitment
and political will to put up the
road. We will use every means to
pile pressure, even if it means sub-
dividing the land for people to
plant crops, said Mr Musila (left).
Under the Grand Coalition
Government, we concluded
tendering process and awarded the
contract to Chinese rm Sino Hydro
Construction, said Mr Musyoka.

Drama as thousands turn up for police jobs
BY NATION TEAM
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com
T
here was anxiety and drama as
the countrywide recruitment
of youths to join the National
Police Service started yesterday.
Thousands of young people turned
up in various Coast and Western cen-
tres seeking to be enlisted.
In Mombasa, the hopes and dreams
of three Mombasa youths were dashed
after their certicates were not recog-
nised by Kenya National Examinations
Council (Knec).
Two brothers Robin Gichohi, 18,
and Stephen Wachira, 20, who both
graduated from Lukenya Academy,
which follows the International
General Certificate of Secondary
Education (IGCSE) system were
turned away.
But the brothers protested saying
the system is recognised locally.
In Malindi, civilian observers drawn
from civil societies, religious leaders
and even teachers were allowed to
participate in vetting recruits.
Ocers from local stations took
over the role that was previously
reserved for senior police ocers
from Nairobi.
However, some observers raised
issues with the timing of the event,
saying, it locked out Muslim youth
who are currently fasting during the
holy month of Ramadhan.
A spot check by the Nation revealed

that there were very few Muslim
youths, and no woman showed up.
In Western Kenya, hundreds of
young people turned up in the vari-
ous sub-counties.
Present at the exercise were of-
cials drawn from the local District
Security and Intelligence Committees,
the Anti-Corruption Commission, the
public, church leaders and ocers
drawn from the ministries of Educa-
tion and Health.
In Vihiga County, many were elimi-
nated early after they failed to produce
academic papers.
Of the 148 short-listed during the
recruitment, 78 will become APs,
while the rest will join the regular
police, Kisumu AP commandant
Atinda Graduf said.
In Nyamira, a motorist who was
spotted carrying recruits to help them
nish the race was arrested.
Nyamira OCPD Riko Ngari said the
number of the Probox vehicle used
to ferry the recruits is known and its
owner will also be arrested.
The race is part of testing for physi-
cal tness and those who complete it
rst have an advantage.
In Baringo, there was confusion
over unclear administrative bounda-
ries.
While Sogon, Moigutwo, Kipon-
jos, Bekibon and Tulungoi locations
legislatively fall in Baringo South
Constituency, they are administered
from Baringo Central, which is an-
other constituency represented in
Parliament by Mr Sammy Mwaita.
Baringo South MP Grace Kip-
choim advised youth from the
aected administrative areas to go
to Kabarnet Town in Baringo Cen-
tral Sub-County.

MCAs take on Serem in trips row
BY DENNIS LUBANGA

M
embers of the County As-
sembly have accused the
salaries regulator under-
mining them.
They also claimed that the Sala-
ries and Remuneration Commission,
which is led by Ms Sarah Serem, is
inciting voters by insinuating that
they are spending public funds on
holidays abroad.
Led by Uasin Gishu majority leader
Josphat Lowoi, they told Ms Serem to
keep o their aairs if she wants to
have a peaceful working relationship
with them.
Friction and bad blood
Speaking in Eldoret on Saturday,
the leaders denied the accusations
levelled against them by Ms Serem,
noting that every expenditure they
incur is accounted for.
The leaders who spoke in the
meeting included Mr Wilson Kipketer
(Elgeyo Marakwet) and Ms Rehema
Korir (Nominated, Uasin Gishu).

The MCAs pointed out that it was
wrong for commissions to continue
maligning them in public.
The agencies utterances are likely
to lead to friction and bad blood
between them and the public, the
leaders charged.
The county reps warned that they
would take unspecied action against
commissions that make claims which
they cannot back with facts.
They were reacting to a warn-
ing issued by the SRC chairperson
that MCAs would be prosecuted for
reckless spending of public funds
on foreign trips and hiring of sup-
port sta.
Ms Serem said they will not allow
MCAs to continue misusing public
funds and pledged to cooperate with
other state agencies to bring culprits
to book. The chairperson, who has in
the past locked horns with MPs on
pay issues, said the agency cannot let
leaders loot from the public coers.
However, the leaders questioned
why the Salaries and Remuneration
Commission, was targeting them,
terming the act as discrimination.
Nobody complains
The Commission on Revenue Al-
location and the Controller of Budget
were doing the same, they charged.
Why are constitutional bodies fo-
cusing on the MCAs, who are barely
two years in oce, when MPs and
senators also make foreign trips,
and yet nobody complains? posed
Ms Korir.

Waiganjo
acquitted
of car theft
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Jailed police imposter Joshua
Waiganjo has been acquitted in
a second criminal case which had
been pending before a Nairobi
court.
The court heard that Mr Eric
Mokua, who claimed Mr Waiganjo
conned him of Sh650,000 by
pretending that he was capable
of selling him three unregistered
motor vehicles, failed to turn up in
court on numerous occasions forc-
ing successive adjournments.
Mr Waiganjo was set free uncon-
ditionally after a key prosecution
witness failed to turn up in court
to testify.
The prosecution wanted him re-
leased under a clause that would
allow the police to re-arrest him but
his lawyer Cli Ombeta objected
saying the track record speaks
for itself.
He said the history of the case
showed the prosecution, and by
extension the complainant in the
case, Mr Mokua, had lost interest
in the case.
A magistrate ordered the file
closed after the prosecution
withdrew its case for lack of a
witness.

Learning and creating
wealth top the charts
BY GEORGE SAYAGIE
@Gsayagie
gsayagie@ke,nationmedia.com
F
or Narok Governor Sam-
uel ole Tunai, devolution
is the best thing that ever
happened in this country.
Thanks to the resources and
opportunities provided under
the Constitution, the county
is in a position to chart its
own development agenda and
pursue it.
Top on his list of priorities
is increasing enrolment in
schools, boosting access to
healthcare, promoting tourism
and agriculture and expanding
the road network and infra-
structure.
Historical
Mr Tunai views some of the
challenges Narok residents
face as historical, but says his
team of dedicated civil serv-
ants is ready to tackle them
in order to achieve the set
objectives.
The Maasai did not em-
brace the western culture,
which includes education
early enough and the crop of
leaders we had did not have
the vision to transform the
county, the governor, who
formerly worked with the Na-
tional Intelligence Service, said.
For the educated youth, the
county government seeks to
use its resources to create jobs
and improve their livelihood.
Mr Tunai, a workaholic who
is found at work as late as
9pm, says that meeting the
residents who come with all
sorts of problems is part of his
job description.
Their problems range from
land disputes, bursaries, unem-
ployment and court cases.
I attend to the residents on
a daily basis when they come
calling. I assist them where I
can and provide direction on
matters that are beyond me
such as disputes in court, Mr
Tunai said.
To maximise output from
agriculture, the government is
building a 700-kilometre road
network across the county to
boost access to wheat and
barley farms and markets for
the produce.
Supporting women
Sh1.2 billion has been allo-
cated for this undertaking.
On the contentious issue
of female genital cutting, Mr
Tunai vowed to stamp out
the vice, saying, girls must be
protected and allowed to get
education just like the boys.
The government was also
supporting women to start en-
terprises such as making and
selling curios to tourists.
Our women must come out
and work for money. That is a
standard that my government
has vowed to follow to frui-
tion so as to ensure all families
have a source of income, he
said.

This is a matter of great

Water supply at the Coast

Sh7 billion.
The water projects were

They include the reha-
bilitation of Baricho Water
works in Kili, the replace-
ment of a 26km stretch along

and the rehabilitation of

Kwale county.
Works on the projects
began in 2009 and Coast
Water Services Board direc-

across the region.
Although supply of water
has risen from 100 to 145

According to Mr Komora,
the supply of 145 million

publicly confronted each other on Sunday over funds. The
war of words began after Mr Obado accused the MP of
mismanaging money meant for an irrigation project. The
bitter exchange of words was witnessed by among others
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Felix Koskei. We will not sit
and watch something as critical as the Sh5.4 billion project
being wasted, Mr Obado said, alleging that Sh705 million
had been stolen, an allegation that did not go down well
with Mr Anyanga who insisted that the governor had no
right to call him corrupt. Mr Koskei asked the two to work

defends maize

BY NATION TEAM

T
he decision to import
maize from Tanza-
nia will not hurt local
farmers, a mi ni ster has
said.
Instead, it will address
the shortage of maize in the
country, Agriculture Cabinet
Secretary Felix Koskei said.
Mr Koskei, who was speaking
in Nandi County on Saturday,
said the government wanted to
stabilise prices and dismissed
fears that the move would
destablise the local market.
Kenyans are struggling to
buy the commodity at exorbi-
tant prices, Mr Koskei said.
In fact the prices came
down immediately we received
the imported maize.
The minister was in the re-
gion to commission the Sh140
million Meteitei Irrigation
Project.
Mr Koskei also dismissed
claims that the government
intended to ood the market,
stressing that it authorised
the importation to cushion
the wananchi.
He stated that the ministry
would spend Sh9.5 billion on
irrigation projects this nan-
cial year in partnership with
the counties.
Counties will have a say on
which irrigation projects they
want funded.
Besides the Sh9.5 billion,
Mr Koskei said another
Sh3.5 billion would be spent
in Tana River County, one of
the projects largely expected
to be instrumental in doubling
up the production of maize in
the country.
Areas set to benet from the
irrigation projects include Isi-
olo, Turkana, Baringo, Pokot,
Garissa, Gucha, Migori, Nandi
and Kericho.
Meanwhile, Kisii farmers
may not harvest much this
season due an outbreak of a
deadly maize disease.
Deadly disease
According to Mr Vincent
Sagwe, the county Execu-
tive Committee member in
charge of Agriculture, the
Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease
(MLND), is suspected to have
spread to Kisii from parts of
Rift Valley.
Farmers have consequently
been asked not to plant any
cereals for one season.
Instead of planting maize,
the farmers are now advised
to plant alternative crops like
potatoes, legumes and other
horticultural crops so that
they can at least put food on
the table, he said.
Mr Sagwe said maize pro-
duction would decrease due to
the eects of the disease.

Earlier, top DWU ocials

privatisation clause.
Mr Mungatana said in a
telephone interview yester-
day that there was no need
to panic.
He said that the KPACS
charter was aimed at boosting
service delivery and integrity
at the port.
Before the charter was
signed, DWU was consulted
and fully engaged. KPA works
with various agencies such as
Kenya Revenue Authority, the
Customs Department, Kenya
Bureau of Standards, the
National Police Service and
private organisations.
I appeal to each of them to
perform their duties eciently.
Let each one full its obligation
and we shall meet our goals,
Mr Mungatana said.
He said a lot had been
achieved within a short time
after President Kenyatta
directed all operations to be
coordinated from a central

He urged the workers

Assembly seeks joint security team
to tame conict at counties border
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
The Kisumu County Assembly has rec-
ommended the setting up of joint security
committee with its Nandi and Kericho coun-
terparts to end border conicts.
The conicts along the border have claimed
the lives of six villagers and displaced nearly
900 families.
The Assemblys Administration and Security
Committee, in a report presented before the
House yesterday, directed its clerk to write to
his colleagues from the two border counties
requesting for meetings for the formation of
the joint team.
The conicts have aected the running of
county business as they are unable to eectively
debate Bills and motions, the team says.
We are unable to successfully carry out
our mandates due to increasing hate leaets
our colleagues receive every time we try to
debate a sensitive matter. The security of our
members is at stake, said the report read by
committee chairman Joshua Akuko.
Lack of a joint border monitoring agency,
according to Mr Akuko, had resulted in the
smuggling of rearms into the three counties
for use in cattle rustling and robberies.
The committee instructed Kisumu county
police commander to meet his counterparts
from the three regions to foster security.
Introduction of trac lights
We have enjoyed a good relationship which
cannot be soiled through tension created by
the unending conict, the report says.
On security in Kisumu Town, the team rec-
ommended the introduction of trac lights in
the streets, estates and on major highways to
improve surveillance by the police as well as
the Nyumba Kumi initiative.
The report also called for the amendment
of the County Government Act to allow MCAs
to carry rearms and have bodyguards.

GOMA, DR Congo, Monday
G
oma, a city in eastern
Democratic Republic
of Congo sits by one of
the worlds largest freshwater
reservoirs and has some of
Africas heaviest annual rainfall,
yet it is a thirsty place.
Most of the citys one million
residents, living close to the
shores of Lake Kivu, have to
struggle every day to fetch
water home.
From daybreak, an endless
stream of cyclists heads to the
lake and back, lling battered
containers with as much water
as they can carry.
In a makeshift shelter, health
worker Fedeline Kabuhu tries to
ensure that no container leaves
without a dose of chlorine, which
she injects with a syringe to make
sure the water residents collect
is potable.
The people drink this water.
They do everything with it,
the 46-year-old French charity
worker said.
A single cyclist can transport
up to 120 litres to be sold on to
private water stores. At a rate of
10 trips to the lake each day, the
carriers can expect to earn up to
$10 between dawn and dusk.
But by the end of one morning
it started to rain and water
collector Lambert Biriko decided
to call it a day.
Today is ruined, he said,
adding that residents would
gather run-o rain water instead
and wont buy anything from
us.
Located on the border with
Rwanda, Goma is the capital of
DR Congos North Kivu province,
which has been wracked by
bloody unrest for more than
20 years, displacing scores of
thousands of people.
In those two decades, the
citys population has exploded,
swelled by an inux of refugees
from neighbouring Rwanda
and Burundi as well as local
Congolese seeking shelter from
marauding armed bands.
At the Sports Circle roundabout
in the centre of Goma, an old
woman washed herself in a puddle
next to a pump where lorries ll
up with water before transporting
it to other neighbourhoods.
Fiston Mugisho, 20, is
unemployed and spends the day
washing the few motor-taxis
that want to stop. He has to buy
water from the cyclists each day
or walk to another neighbourhood
where houses hooked up to the
main grid sell what comes out of
their taps.
But you dont always find
water, Mr Mugisho said. Even
for those properties that do
enjoy running water, the supply
is frequently cut.
As in many other parts of
DR Congo the worlds least
developed country according to
the United Nations the people
of Goma have learned to fend
for themselves after decades of
government neglect.
The lack of basic infrastructure
has given rise to the Lucha (Fight
for Change) protest movement. A
shortage of water, electricity and
opportunities for work shows a
problem of governance and a
lack of seriousness, according to
Micheline Mwendike, a member
of the apolitical body.
Alongside other organisations,
she said, Lucha gathered 3,500
signatures at the end of May
for a petition demanding that
provincial governor Julien Paluku
commit to connecting Goma to
the water supply and publish a
plan to bring water to the entire
city.
Backed by regional segments of
the political opposition, Lucha is
gaining momentum as it accuses
authorities of using the insecurity
as an excuse for inaction.
The movement stages regular
protests and has harnessed the
power of social media, using
Facebook and the Twitter hashtag
#GomaNeedsWater.
Paluku did not respond to
repeated requests for comment
from AFP.
Deogratias Kizibisha, the North
Kivu director of public water
distribution rm Regideso, said
that 45 percent of Goma residents
are connected to the central
supply. Lucha claims the real
rate is closer to 20 per cent.
Jean-Pierre Kambere is a nurse
in Birere, Gomas poorest slum.
Adding chlorine is not enough
to make water gathered from
Lake Kivu safe to drink, he said.
Every week patients come to us
with diarrhoea or fever caused
by drinking polluted water, Mr
Kambere added.
Not far from the health centre,
Joelle, a frail woman of 20,
crouched at a public tap, bent
double under the weight of the
container strapped to her back
with a scarf.
Its not normal to live like
this, she said. The authorities
need to provide water to every
home. (AFP)

Malala tells
Jonathan to
meet parents
of hostages
ABUJA, Monday
Pakistani education activist
Malala Yousafzai today urged
Nigerian President Goodluck
Jonathan to meet with parents of
the schoolgirls kidnapped three
months ago by Boko Haram.
Malala, who survived a Taliban
assassination attempt in 2012 and
has become a champion for access
to schooling, was in Abuja on her
17th birthday to mark three months
since Boko Haram abducted 276
girls from a secondary school in
Chibok, in the northeast.
At least 219 of the girls taken on
April 14 are still missing.
Malala on Sunday met with
several girls who escaped Boko
Haram captivity and parents of
some of the hostages before her
talks with Jonathan.
I asked the president, is it
possible for him to go and see
the parents, to see these girls, to
encourage them and to tell them
that yes, their daughters will return
home? Malala told journalists after
the meeting, adding that Jonathan
had agreed to meet some parents.
The parents she met with appeared
hopeless, she said, and need the
presidents support.
Jonathan has faced heavy
criticism for his handling of the
hostage crisis, which many say
has lacked both compassion and
urgency, and is not known to have
met with any of the girls families
before now.
The rescue operation was slow to
launch and the military was forced
to retract a statement issued days
after the kidnapping claiming that
all the girls had been freed.(AFP)

TRIPOLI, Monday
T
he United Nations announced
today that it was evacuating
its remaining staff from
Libya, after deadly clashes closed
Tripoli airport and severed air links
with the outside world.
The ghting between liberal and
Islamist militias came after a June
general election mired by fraud al-
legations intensied a struggle for
power between rival armed groups
that has wracked the North African
oil producer ever since the 2011 over-
throw of Muammar Gadda.
UNSMIL (United Nations Sup-
port Mission in Libya) temporarily
withdrawing sta from Libya be-
cause of security situation, the
mission, which already pulled out
dozens of personnel last week, said
in a statement.
After the latest ghting on Sun-
day and because of the closure of
Tripoli international airport, the
mission concluded that it would
not be possible to continue its work
... while at the same time ensuring
the security and safety of its sta,
it said.
This is a temporary measure.
Sta will return as soon as security
conditions permit.
The United Nations, which stood
by the Libyan people in their revolu-
tion in 2011, will not abandon them
as they seek to build a democratic
state.
Witnesses said a UN convoy left
Tripoli on Sunday by road headed
for the Tunisian border, 170 kilome-
tres to the west.
Tripoli international airport was
shut down for at least three days
after the Zintan militia which con-
trols it came under attack by Islamist
ghters on Sunday.
At least six people were killed in
heavy exchanges of re, a health
ministry ocial said, and several
Airbus planes were damaged on
the tarmac. (AFP)

BUJUMBURA, Monday
B
urundis interior minister on
Sunday denied government
involvement in an alleged at-
tempt by a policeman to assassinate
a prominent opposition leader.
An armed plainclothes policeman
was arrested on Saturday after being
spotted acting suspiciously near a bar
in the central African nations capital
Bujumbura where Charles Nditije, a
leader of an opposition faction of the
Uprona party, was meeting aides.
Mr Nditije said the man was wres-
tled to the ground by his bodyguards
and had admitted to being on a mis-
sion to assassinate me, without saying
who had sent him.
He also said it was no coincidence
that the incident occurred the day be-
fore he was scheduled to hold a party
meeting that the interior ministry
wants to prevent at all costs.
This is shameful for Burundi,
because nowadays opponents are
imprisoned, exiled or assassinated,
he added.
Allay suspicions
But Interior Minister Edouard Ndu-
wimana moved to allay suspicions of a
state connection to the incident.
It would be deplorable if there was
an attempt to assassinate Charles
Nditije, because this is outdated
conduct whether for political mo-
tives or something else, the minister
told AFP.
But it would be even more deplor-
able if it was orchestrated by himself,
so we have to allow the relevent serv-
ices to rst shed some light on the
case, he added.
A police source meanwhile insisted
the incident appeared to be the result
of a misunderstanding, saying the al-
leged would-be assassin who works
as a special protection unit of the force
was drunk and was attacked by a
nervous and paranoid Nditije and
his aides.
The incident comes amid mounting
political tensions and a rise in reports
of political violence in Burundi in
the run-up to next years elections,
when President Pierre Nkurunziza
is expected to seek a third term that
opponents say is unconstitutional.
Uprona, Burundis main Tutsi party,
pulled out of the governing coalition
led by Nkurunzizas Hutu-majority
CNDD-FDD party earlier this year.
The pullout upset a delicate
power-sharing arrangement between
Burundis majority Hutu and minor-
ity Tutsi communities, who are still
struggling to reconcile after decades
of conict.
The ruling CNDD-FDD party had
been accused of forcing out Nditije as
Uprona party chairman and replacing
him with a sympathiser.
The party is now ocially led by a
pro-government gure put in place by
the interior ministry, but Mr Nditije
has been challenging the change in
leadership.
On Sunday, riot police prevented Mr
Nditije and hundreds of supporters
from entering Upronas headquarters.
The group then briey demonstrated
in surrounding streets, but no violence
was reported.
In March, authorities in Bujumbura
banned jogging in groups of two of
more on the grounds that opposition
parties were using them as an excuse
to organise uprisings.
This month, the head of Burundis
main human rights advocacy group
Aprodeh, Pierre-Claver Mbonimpa,
went on trial for endangering state
security after alleging Imboner-
akure members were being given
paramilitary training and weapons
in neighbouring Democratic Repub-
lic of Congo.
Burundis last elections in 2010
were boycotted by most opposition
parties.

NATION Correspondent
LUSAKA, Monday
The Zambian government today
released pictures of President
Michael Sata holding a Cabinet
meeting after a three-week public
absence.
President Sata, 77, travelled to
Israel for two weeks for a work-
ing holiday, returned to his country
but was not seen for a week fuelling
speculation the trip could have been
for medical treatment, a claim the
government has been denying.
I am determined to ensure that
our Government scales up interven-
tions aimed at accelerating rural
development in order to improve
the peoples living standards. Below
are the pictures of todays Cabinet
Meeting. MCS - 14/07/14, President
Sata wrote on his Facebook page
accompanied by some pictures.
Political commentators said his
21-day absence from the public
eye was causing anxiety among
the southern African nation of 14
million people.
His governing party had also
slipped into infighting sug-
gestive of a power struggle.
On Friday, a Lusaka court threw
away a plea to establish a medical
board to ascertain the tness of
President Sata.
High Court Judge-in-charge,
Isaac Chali said the application
by Mr Brebner Changala lacked
merit and should be dismissed on
grounds that it was frivolous and
vexatious,reported state daily The
Times of Zambia.
I have studied the evidence on
record and I must say that this ap-
plication is accordingly dismissed
as it is frivolous, vexatious and
hopeless, it does not require further
inquiry at the substantive inquiry,
Mr Justice Chali said as quoted by
the newspaper.
Mr Justice Chali said Mr Changala
failed to provide sucient interest
in the matter as a private citizen
trying to champion the matter in
the courts of law, it added.
LAGOS, Monday
Lagos, the most populous region
in southwestern Nigeria, will remain
on alert to prevent the fatal Ebola
virus from entering the state, the
countrys Commissioner for Health
Jide Idris said yesterday.
In a statement reaching Xinhua,
the health commissioner advised
the public to observe personal and
environmental hygiene as part of
precautionary measures to prevent
the outbreak of Ebola disease in
the state.
He said the advice was neces-
sary because of the increase in
the number of cases and deaths
caused by the disease in some
neighbouring West African coun-
tries such as Guinea, Liberia and
Sierra Leone.
The commissioner said that
presently there was no specific
treatment for the disease, which
could be transmitted in the course
of feeding, holding and caring for
victims. Fruits and bats are con-
sidered to be the natural host of
the virus, he added.
The Ebola virus, which can incu-
bate for up to 21 days, has a fatality
rate of up to 90 per cent. The virus
was rst discovered in 1976 in two
simultaneous outbreaks in Sudan
and in the Democratic Republic
of the Congo (DRC), taking its
name from the Ebola River where
the DRC outbreak was found in a
nearby village.
The World Health Organiza-
tion (WHO) denes the disease,
formerly known as Ebola haem-
orrhagic fever, as a severe, often
fatal illness and one of the worlds
most virulent diseases.
The city of Lagos is the most
populous in Nigeria with a popu-
lation of about 20 million, and it
is also the second fastest-growing
city in Africa. (Xinhua)

GAZA CITY, Monday
I
srael slowed the pace of
its raids on Gaza today
and held o a threatened
ground incursion as the world
intensied eorts to broker a
truce around the Palestinian
territory.
With Israels campaign
to halt cross-border rocket
re entering its seventh day,
Arab ministers were poised to
hold an emergency meeting
to discuss moves to end the
bloodshed.
And Jordans King Abdullah
II warned of the dangers the
crisis could pose for the wider
region, demanding Israel stop
targeting civilians as the death
toll hit 175.
But as diplomatic efforts
gained momentum, the pace of
both Israels raids on Gaza and
the militant rocket re slowed
noticeably, with commentators
drawing a link with behind-the-
scenes ceasere eorts.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon has
urged Israel to scrap plans for
a ground oensive, saying too
many Palestinian civilians
have lost their lives.
Human rights groups have
said more than 75 per cent of
the dead were non-combatants.
The UN agency for Palestin-
ian refugees has said more
than a quarter of them were
children.
But, despite preparations
for a possible ground attack,
Israel appeared to be holding
o with ministers at a Sunday
night security cabinet meeting
reportedly deciding against
putting boots on the ground
for the time being.
Following a night in which
Israel struck 40 targets, the
pace of the air strikes appeared
to slow noticeably and with
it the death toll, AFP corre-
spondents reported.
Four people were killed on
Monday. A fth died of inju-
ries from an earlier strike, Gaza
emergency services spokesman
Ashraf al-Qudra said.
An army spokeswoman
said that although 42 rockets
had struck Israel during the
day, all were short range and
there were far fewer targeted
strikes on the south.
The military steps being
taken by both sides in the
last 24 hours were a func-
tion, among other things, of
the developments in the dia-
logue, Alex Fishman wrote in
the top-selling Yediot Aharonot
newspaper, saying the state of
negotiations should become
clear in the next 24 hours.

BAGHDAD, Monday
The death toll from a raid on a Baghdad com-
pound used for prostitution rose to 31 today, as
pictures obtained by AFP oered clues to the
circumstances of the carnage.
The total number of dead now stands at 31,
two of them men, interior ministry spokesman
Saad Maan told AFP.
Gunmen stormed two buildings in Baghdads
residential district of Zayouna, known in the area
for housing rented ats where a notorious pimp
kept a stable of up to 60 women.
Photographs taken soon after the killings
on Saturday evening showed a man, identied
by police sources as the pimp, lying dead in a
pool of blood alongside one of his presumed
henchmen. The pair, the only male victims
of the raid, appeared to have had their hands
tied behind their backs before being executed.
Another picture shows the crouching bodies of
ve women huddled together in a corner of a
bathroom with blood-spattered tiled walls and
oor, in what seemed to have been a desperate
attempt to hide from their attackers.
Another shows bodies, some wearing bright
colours, others dressed in black, lined up in a
living room, the oor of which was drenched
with blood.
Access to the only street leading to buildings
43 and 44, where the killings took place, is usu-
ally overseen by police and soldiers.
Residents say the pimp, who went by the
name of Aws, was a powerful gure in the
neighbourhood who would bribe security of-
cers and was able to run his business from
the same compound for years.
This is the fate of any prostitution, read
an inscription on the front door of one of the
raided buildings. (AFP)

S
tandard Chartered yesterday
became the rst bank to re-
lease lending rates under the
new format reducing pricing on three
of its products.
In what is seen as a test to the
market a week after Central Bank
unveiled the Kenya Bankers Refer-
ence Rate (KBRR) based on which
commercial banks would price loans
StanChart yesterday launched a
45-day sale on mortgages, personal
unsecured and business loans. The
inaugural KBRR was set at 9.13 per
cent.
Its customers will access mortgages
priced at KBRR + 1.77 per cent or 10.9
per cent with customers able to bor-
row up to Sh100 million to purchase
homes. Standard Chartered normal
home loan is currently priced at 12.9
per cent.
Increased consumer appetite to
borrow as well as an increasingly so-
phisticated consumer seeking more
nancial options prompted the bank
to open up access to credit to people
who wish to borrow but are otherwise
restricted by the cost of credit, said
Mr Bhartesh Shah, StanChart head of
retail clients, Kenya and East Africa.
Personal loans will be priced at
14.9 per cent, which is KBRR + 5.77
per cent, and business loans against
property at 10.9 per cent (KBRR +
1.77 per cent). Customers transferring
their loans from other providers will
not pay legal and valuation fees. Cur-
rently, a personal loan is priced at 17.9
per cent while business credit stands
at 21 per cent.
Under the new interest rate regime,
all new loans issued after July 8, 2014
will be priced using the KBBR frame-
work while transition period of one
year from July 1, 2014 will be provided
to allow banks to recalculate existing
loans. The move to switch computa-
tion of lending rate on KBRR plus
margin is meant to enhance provision
of cheaper credit to the private sec-
tor by facilitating a transparent and a
competitive credit pricing system.
KBRR is an average of the Central
Bank Rate currently standing at 8.5
per cent and the average 91-day
Treasury Bill rate for the previous
six months. It will be recalculated
every six months. Banks are, however,
allowed to add a premium to reect
an individual borrowers risk prole
and other costs.
With the launch of our annual grand
sale campaign, we believe that our cli-
ents will benet not only from the lowest
rates in the market but also from one of
most consistently high service standards
in the market, Mr Shah added.

Kenyans will pay more for fuel over the
next one month, potentially worsening the
current ination levels.
Motorists will feel the greatest pinch at
the pump with a litre of super petrol going
up by Sh1.24. Kerosene which is used by
many to light up houses and cook will go
up by 0.99 cents while diesel users will pay
0.14 cents less per litre.
The Energy Regulatory Commission in
its monthly pricing formula released yes-
terday attributed the increase to a surge
in international prices and the weakened
shilling over the period. The local currency
exchanged at Sh87.60 to the dollar in May
and Sh87.68 in June.
Taking into account the weighted cover-
age costs of imported products, the overall
result is that the maximum allowed price
of diesel decreases by 0.14 cents per litre,
that of kerosene increases by 0.99 cents per
litre while that of super petrol increases by
Sh1.24 per litre, a statement signed by act-
ing director general Frederick Nyang said
yesterday.
The prices were eective from last night to
August 14. The purpose of pricing regulations
is to cap pump costs of products which are
already in the country such that importation
and other incurred costs are recovered while
ensuring fair prices to the consumers.
Motorists pay more to stay on the roads
INSURANCE
Kenindia goes county
with more branches
Kenindia Insurance Com-
pany has initiated plans to open
branches in all the 47 counties
targeting the low end of the mar-
ket to grow its reach. The insurer
said it was targeting farmers,
labourers, small traders, vendors
and shermen with aordable
insurance packages. Managing
director Vinod Bharatan said the
strategy of meeting the needs
of low-income earners would
enable it to gain larger market
share in the industry. The com-
pany, which was formed from
the merger of Indian Insurance
companies operating in Kenya
in 1978, already has branches in

StarTimes to set up Sh7bn centre

StarTimes will build
a Sh6.9 billion Africa
headquarters and broadcast
centre in Nairobi.
This, according to the man-
agement, will see it increase
the airing of Chinese soap op-
eras and start the production
of TV programmes in Kenya
and other parts of Africa.
StarTimes Group president
Pang Xinxing, while making
this announcement yesterday,
said Kenya and China had good
business relations.
He commended Kenyas
commitment to attracting
increased foreign direct in-
vestments.
Through this we focus on
promoting economic and social
transformation as StarTimes
stamps its commitment to Kenya
and the larger Africa, said Mr
Pang. We are also launching
two new channels for the African
market Star Sport2 in July and
Star Swahili in August.
Chinese ambassador to Kenya
Liu Xianfa said the government
has approved the construction
plan.
The future is bright for both
countries as stable investments
continue building the economy,
said Mr Pang.
Cabinet Secretary for Sports,
Arts and Culture Hassan Wario,
who was present, said the pro-
posed centre would help grow
Kenyan talent in movie pro-
duction.
Air service agreement
The announcement comes
a week after Kenya and China
signed a bilateral air service
agreement allowing Kenya Air-
ways to access more destinations
in China. This sets the pace for
more Chinese to visit Kenya and
vice versa.
Mr Pang said the agreement would boost Chinese condence
in the Kenyan market.
The 20,000 square metre
StarTimes headquarters will be
based in Karen. It will employ
dozens of Kenyans during the
construction and during the
production of cultural mate-
rials.
It is set for completion by the
end of next year and will feature
six units including StarTimes
Africa headquarters, StarTimes
Kenya oces, a lm and televi-
sion recording centre, StarTimes
broadcast station, digital TV re-
search and development centre
as well as a training facility.
With the proposed investment,
StarTimes plans to increase
its revenue in the region in
the face of competition from
GoTV, which dominates the
Kenyan market.

Kenya Investment Authority
will help property rm Longonot
Gate woo investors to the multi-
billion resort city project being
developed in Naivasha.
This is part of a move to
increase focus on both foreign
and domestic direct investors in
a new plan to shore up the level
of activities in the country.
While signing a partner-
ship deal at KenInvest oces
yesterday, authority managing
director Moses Ikiara said they
plan to raise the level of invest-
ment in projects in the country
to at least Sh150 billion annually
from about Sh110 billion.
In the past, people have ar-
gued that we have focused more
on the foreign direct investment
(FDI) at the expense of the do-
mestic direct investment (DDI).
Our focus will also be on DDI,
Mr Ikiara said.
He cited multi-billion projects
planned including the Lamu Port
South Sudan Ethiopia Transport
(Lapsset) project, the Konza
Techno city and the invest-
ment opportunities in Kenyas
47 counties as those that need
to attract local as well as foreign
capital.

T
he competition watchdog has
hired auditing rm Deloitte
Consul ti ng to l ook i nto
competitiveness in the tea sector
value chain.
This is in reaction to a report
released two weeks ago accusing
major players in the industry of
colluding to x prices, thus hurt-
ing farmers.
We are in the nal stages of nalis-
ing an inquiry in the tea sector aimed
at appreciating the chain and thereof
informing policy interventions. Based
on the ndings, we will, if necessary
employ our enforcement mandate,
Competition Authority of Kenya
director general Wangombe Kari-
uki said.
The study follows poor prices at the
Mombasa auction which have declined
to a six-year low. In the report, the
role of the tea board as a regulator
came under focus.
The tea sector is among our
priority areas. We are investigating
any anti-competitive behaviours and
claims about existence of cartels,
and cases of price manipulation at
the Mombasa tea auction, Mr Kari-
uki said.
The Tea Industry Status Report
2014 said key players, among them
KTDA were colluding to deny small-
scale farmers their rightful earnings
from the auction.
It said prices for the top two grades
Best Broken Pekoe Ones and the Best
Brighter Pekoe Fanning Ones which
account for 60 per cent of the sale vol-
umes, and which is largely produced
by small-scale tea farmers have both
declined by about 40 per cent over
the past year.
Major forex earner
Kenya is the worlds leading ex-
porter of black tea. The crop is a
major foreign exchange earner for
the country. Nearly 70 per cent of the
product oered at the Mombasa auc-
tion is from Kenya although that from
Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi
and other regional producers is sold.
Buyers from Pakistan, Egypt, United
Kingdom, Sudan and the United Arab
Emirates are the major clients.
Mombasa is the largest tea auction in
the world yet volume-wise has 52 active
buyers/exporters. Licensed operators are
71 compared with Sri Lankas Colombo
market the second largest globally
which has more than 400 buyers.
There are 11 brokers at the Mom-
basa auction, an exclusive group with
its own guide book which spells out
rules and regulations governing the
sale that is conducted weekly on
Mondays and Tuesdays.

ing inquiries every week with

NSE manager in charge of

Ltd is listed on the segment.
One more company could be

lations to attract more players

dubious morals.

No training kits for Kenyan athletes

A
thletes from 14 disciplines in which
Kenya will compete at the Com-
monwealth Games in Scotland are
without training or competition kits.
Only the sevens rugby team which
left for Glasgow on Sunday received
both training and playing kits. Judo and
shooting teams left the country alongside
the rugby team without the kits. They
have been using old personal kits for
training.
Team Kenya athletes in six disci-
plines (swimming, boxing, mountain
bike cycling, squash, table tennis and
weightlifting) are set to leave the coun-
try today without their training and
competition kits.
But Team Kenya executive officer
James Chacha downplayed crisis in
camp, citing delay on the part of their
kits supplier Nike. We requested for the
kits much early but the company delayed
in delivering them, said Chacha. We
have been receiving kits in batches and
we really dont know why.

Man United in 750 million Adidas deal
English Premier League giants Manchester United on Monday
announced a ten-year kit deal with German sportswear group
Adidas worth 750 million (942 million euros, 1.28 billion dollars)
after US rivals Nike walked away from the club.
The sponsorship switch comes after Nike left the bargaining
table last Tuesday when Adidas agreed to more than double
Nikes current contract.
repeat of the 2006 Melbourne and 2012
Delhi Games scenario where the training
and competitions kits were shipped direct
to the venue of the games.
Search for new supplier
That shouldnt happen since every
competitor should receive everything
while still at home, explained Chacha, who
intimated that talks are at an advanced
stage to nd a new supplier of kits.
Right now we are bound by the contract
by Nike and we cant do anything at the
moment. The athletes are putting up with
what is there before they get their full kit,
said Chacha. Nike has kitted Team Kenya
for Olympic Games and Commonwealth
Games for many years.
Meanwhile, the long wait for athletes
allowances continued as the Government
again failed to pay money even as some
teams prepare to leave the country this
evening.
Tension was high at the Team Kenya
camp at the Safaricom Stadium hostels
and its left to be seen whether the teams
set to leave today will board the plane.
Boxers had expressed reservations
about the Governments commitment to
pay half of Team Kenya allowances before
departure. By yesterday, the Government
had not lived up to its promise to pay al-
lowance from the Africa Championships
and World Championships last year.

WORLD CHAMPIONS: Germany midelder Bastian Schweinsteiger (centre) leads his teammates in celebrations at the Maracana Stadium on Sunday night.
Berlin
A
jubilant German press yesterday
celebrated the national sides fourth
World Cup win and crowned striker
Super Mario Goetze as a football god
for his victory-clinching dream goal.
It Is True, headlined conservative
broadsheet Die Welt, with the three words
printed in the national colours of black,
red and gold. What a match, what a ght,
what drama, it exclaimed.
The top-selling Bild daily splashed 1:
0 and World Champions! across its
front page over a photo of Goetze and
dedicated the next 16 pages to every detail
of the teams triumph in Rio de Janeiro.
Online, the paper cheered: Goetze, God
of football and heaped gratitude on the
trainer and the rest of the team: Thank
you, Jogi (Loew)! Thank you guys! You
have made us innitely happy.
We bow to coach Jogi Loew ... Con-
centrated, he led the team through the
tournament. He remains quiet after
big wins. He remains calm after tough
matches, Bild said.
Great joy
You are the Greatest! cheered the
headline over a double-page lift-out
poster inside the paper, showing Bastian
Schweinsteiger lifting the trophy over his
head and the ecstatic team punching the
air. Even the papers health section oered
advice to hardcore fans on how to deal with
the withdrawal symptoms after weeks of
football fever and on how to overcome the
post-World Cup blues.
News website Spiegel Online cheered,
1954. 1974. 1990. 2014!, recalling the four
times Germany has clinched the trophy.
Goetze, the liberator, headlined the
online edition of the Frankfurter Allge-
meine Zeitung.
For the rst time a European team
has won a world tournament in South
America ... the title for Germany is well
deserved.
World Champion! Germanys national
football team has delivered, cheered the
Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung, predicting
days of celebrations. What started with
honking motorcades in the evening will
only grow by the time the team comes
home, it said, describing the massive
impact the win has had on the football-
crazed nation.
Power of football
Nothing can resist the pull of football.
War in Israel? War in Ukraine? The (US-
German) spying scandal? For many those
didnt matter. Everyone came on board:
politicians and companies, newspapers
and TV stations, football fans and those
who usually arent.
The Koelner Stadt-Anzeiger noted that
Germany, where patriotism has long been
restrained by guilt over World War II and
the Holocaust, has become a little more
like other countries in its expressions of
national joy.
The tensions of the past have nally
eased, but this hasnt been followed by a
new nationalism, rather a new openness
to the world, it said. (AFP)

ITS PARTY TIME | Germany becomes rst European country to win World Cup in South America
Argentina home
without trophy
but full of pride
Buenos Aires
Argentinas media summed up
the national mood as crestfallen but
proud yesterday after the extra-time
defeat to Germany in the World Cup
nal, coming heartbreakingly close
to their third title.
Heart of champions read the
headline on sports daily Oles
website, with a full-page photo of
midelder Javier Mascherano em-
bracing national hero Lionel Messi,
who won the Golden Ball award for
best player of the tournament.
The dream is over. Argentina
confronted a powerful Germany
head-on, fought hard and created
great chances, it wrote. We lost
the nal 1-0, but we gave everything
we had and returned to the (World
Cup) podium after 24 years.
Thank you World Cup team, it
added, saying they deserve the best
welcome. Other papers chronicled
the teams defeat alongside the vio-
lence that broke out Sunday night
in Buenos Aires, where hooligans
crashed an initially festive post-
match party at the capitals iconic
Obelisk monument.
The hardcore fans, known as
barras bravas, broke windows,
looted shops and threw stones
at riot police, who red tear gas,
rubber bullets and water cannon in
return causing the crowd of tens
of thousands of people to rush from
the area. It started as a party but
turned into a pitched battle... with
robberies, clashes and looting at the
Obelisk, said daily La Nacion, which
gave a toll of 15 wounded police and
60 people arrested.
But it said the match had left the
nation without the Cup, but proud.
Elimination hurts like always, but
pride swells like never before, it
wrote, saying the team were com-
ing home without glory but with
a clear conscience.
Newspaper Pagina/12 ran two
large photographs, one of the Ar-
gentine players locked in an embrace
at Maracana Stadium, the other of
a little boy in a Messi jersey sitting
atop his fathers shoulders at the
Obelisk after the match. Love is
stronger, said its banner headline.

G
ermany basked in the glory of their
fourth World Cup title yesterday
after a nail-biting 1-0 victory
against Argentina crowned them the
rst European team to win footballs top
tournament held in South America.
Bleary-eyed fans awoke after late-night
street parties, reworks and honking mo-
torcades across the country, with ecstatic
supporters singing Oh, its beautiful! and
chanting Super Deutschland! into the
early hours. Bayern Munich star Mario
Goetze struck in the 113th minute of a
gripping battle at Rio de Janeiros Ma-
racana Stadium as Argentina superstar
Lionel Messis hopes of emulating Diego
Maradona ended in defeat.
Its unbelievable what we have achieved.
Whether we have the best individual player
doesnt matter at all. You just need to have
the best team, said delighted Germany
captain Philipp Lahm.
Newspapers hailed Super Mario
Goetze as the countrys new football
god and showered praise on the new
national heroes, the rst to win the title
for a reunied Germany, who are due to be
welcomed home today at Berlins landmark
Brandenburg Gate.
It Is True, headlined Die Welt daily,
with the three words printed in the national
colours of black, red and gold. What a
match, what a ght, what drama.
Some 34.6 million Germans were glued
to their screens to watch the game, an
all-time record. The German nance min-
istry said it would this week issue a special
World Champion 2014 stamp, of which
it had optimistically printed ve million
before the nal. With four World Cups, the
European powerhouses are now just one
behind Brazils record tally of ve.
Explosion of joy in Brazil
The tournament earlier saw Germany
crush Brazil by a humiliating 7-1, and the
hosts lost Saturdays game for third place
3-0 to the Netherlands, sealing the fate of
national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, whose
contract Brazils football confederation
decided not to renew, according to local
media reports. Germanys win nonethe-
less sparked an explosion of joy in Brazil,
which had been dreading the prospect of
South American rivals Argentina winning
the title on its territory.
Thank God, thank God that Germany
won, said Caio Ferraz, 45, a Brazilian look-
ing up at the stars on Rios Copacabana
beach. Argentines reacted with tears,
cheers and violence after the dream of
a third World Cup title slipped through
their ngers, as clashes between hooligans
and police ended a massive Buenos Aires
street party.
Twitter said the game generated more
than 32 million tweets worldwide more
than 600,000 of them in the last minute.
However, the gure was below the all-time
record of 35.6 million tweets sent during
the Brazil-Germany match. The dramatic
nale came after a month-long footballing
carnival widely regarded as one of the most
exciting World Cups ever.
Goetzes winner equalled the record tally
for goals at a 32-team World Cup. The 171
goals from 64 games matched the number
set in France in 1998.
Fittingly, Goetzes strike was another
memorable eort in a tournament brim-
ming with spectacular individual goals.
A gripping nal before 74,738 specta-
tors, which included German Chancellor
Angela Merkel, looked destined for pen-
alties after both sides had failed to break
through stubborn defending with the
scores deadlocked at 0-0. (AFP) ON CLOUD NINE: German fans celebrate their fourth title in the streets of Berlin while (extreme right) at Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro.

Rihanna may have been the centre of
attention at the World Cup Finals post-
match party - but she may have commit-
ted a major faux when she touched the
trophy. Fifa guidelines have previously
said that only winners of the tournament
and heads of state are allowed to handle
the ocial World Cup Trophy.
Englands Wayne Rooney and Daniel
Sturridge have previously been forced to
observe this practice during promotional
events in the UK. But Rihanna who had
earlier lifted her top inside the Maracana
during Germanys 1-0 win over Argentina
was pictured holding the solid-gold
prize and later revealed she had kissed
and posed for a sele with the famous
trophy. Wives, girlfriends and children of
the Germany players were also pictured
with the trophy during the celebrations
in Rio and it appears Fifa have relaxed
their rules regarding the 18-carat gold
prize. Earlier the singer was spotted in
the stadium ashing her leather-look bra
during the game.
The 26-year-old took to Twitter to share
a picture of herself getting into the spirit
of the game before uploading a racy
swimsuit snap showing her support for
her German boys. And not surprisingly
when the nal whistle went, the Bajan
beauty was up for letting her hair down
and celebrating with the German team.
The team, who were on cloud nine after
their victory, were more than happy to
party alongside her and judging by the
numerous pictures shared it was a fun
lled night. Rihanna shared a picture of
herself clutching the cup while being
kissed by Lukas Podolski and Bastian
Schweinsteiger. Another sees her with
man of the match Mario Gtze, who
scored the only goal of the game, which
she captioned: The shooter aka My hitta
#Gotze #Champions.
During the game the Diamonds singer
decided to cover up for the World Cup
nal in a Trapstar sports top and jeans.

said Loew.
Showed strength
Germany showed their strength in
depth at the Maracana as Andre
Schuerrles cross was volleyed home
by fellow substitute Goetze.
The Germans became the first
European team to win a World Cup
in the Americas at the sixth attempt
without talented Dortmund mideld-
ers Reus, 25, and Ilkay Gundogan, 23,
who have an ankle and back injury
respectively.
There is also a crop of exciting young
mideld talent at Schalke 04 as Julian
Draxler briey played in the group
stages while teenagers Max Meyer
and Leon Goretzka failed to make
the squad after making their debuts
in a pre-World Cup friendly.
Having played eye-catching football
at the last World Cup four years ago
before losing in the semi-finals to
eventual winners Spain, Loew says
his team learnt their lessons from
South Africa.
The German FA (DFB) are now
reaping the rewards of an ambitious
youth development programme started
a decade ago in the wake of their group
stages exit at Euro 2004.
Loew also said Germany have ben-
eted from the rise of Bundesliga teams
in the Champions League after Bayern
Munich and Borussia Dortmund con-
tested the 2013 nal, giving his squad
more valuable experience.
Of course, the Bundesliga has a huge
inuence on the team and the training

T
he administrators of
the national health
insurer have been
put on the spot for failing
to give the Auditor-General
information on how billions
set aside for civil servants
were distributed.
The National Hospital
Insurance Fund (NHIF)
board did not provide ad-
equate information on how
Sh4.3 billion was distributed
to various contracted health
facilities in the 2012/13 -
nancial year, putting the
national auditor in dicul-
ties with preparing its nal
report on use of funds.
In the latest audit report
on NHIF, Auditor-General
Edward Ouko says his oce
was unable to perform an
audit review because of lack
of vital information.
The report says the
board did not reconcile
the number of people who
benefited from the Civil
Servants and Disciplined
Services medical scheme
as required.
The government set aside
Sh4.3 billion for the scheme
but only Sh3.5 billion was
used by beneficiaries
through contracted health
clinics, which failed to pro-
vide records of those who
visited for medical care.
The reconciliations
from the Ministry of Pub-
lic Service on the number
of beneficiaries covered
in the insurance scheme
and accountability returns
from health facilities on the
number of civil servants
and disciplined services
attended to, have not been
availed for audit review,
says Mr Ouko in the re-
port tabled in Parliament
last week.
He said it was not pos-
sible to know whether the
public servants got value for
the money they spent in the
hospitals.
In the circumstances
it has not been pos-
sible to confirm the
propriety of the expenditure
of Sh3,501,806,538 included
in the benet expenses of
Sh8,236,279,159 in the
Statement of Comprehen-
sive Income for the year
ended 30 June, 2013, and
that the ministry and civil
servants and disciplined
services obtained value
on the medical scheme,
the auditor says.
The civil servants
medical scheme has been
riddled with controversy
after some health service
providers contracted were
alleged not to be in exist-
ence or did not have outlets
countrywide.
The controversy led to
the sacking of NHIF chief
executive ocer Richard
Kerich and the suspension
of the funds board.

Out of the
shadow
of a rebel
Salome Matwakei on life with
the most infamous son of Mt
Elgon, her transformation
since his death, and why, his
atrocities notwithstanding,
she still believes he was a
good man
PEACE ENVOY
BY BARNABAS BII
bbii@ke.nationmedia.com
M
t Elgon is in the news
again, and that for
all the wrong
reasons. Last week,
security teams in Mt
Elgon recovered ve guns and
several rounds of ammunition
in a spirited crackdown against
remnants of the dreaded Sabaot
Land Defence Force (SLDF).
Subsequently, Bungoma
County Commissioner Maalim
Mohammed issued a one-month
ultimatum for the surrender of
illegal rearms, warning that those
who failed to take advantage of the
amnesty would be smoked out to
face the full force of the law.
Among the recovered weapons
were four AK47 guns, a pistol and
some rounds of ammunition, said
Mohammed, who added that a
suspect had been arrested.
One person following this
drama, albeit nonchalantly and
with a sense of deep regret,
is Ms Salome Chepkwemoi
Matwakei, the wife of SLDFs
slain commander Wyclie Komon
Matwakei.
Her association with the man
is one she wishes to quickly
distance herself from as it was
during Matwakeis reign at the top
of the SLDF that the outlawed
grouping gained notoriety. By
the time the army was sent to
Mt Elgon in 2008 to ush out
the man and his followers, over
1,000 people lay dead, many more
displaced.
But, while Salome Chepkwemoi
may distance herself from that
reign of terror, she has not
been successful in deleting her
association, however distant,
with Matwakei the man. That is
why she is still regarded as Mrs
Matwakei on the slopes of the
fertile foots of Mt Elgon.
This, though, is another brand
of Matwakei. While the man was
a fiery commander of a bush
ragtag army, the woman is more
of a diplomat and human rights
campaigner. Her transformation
came full circle two weeks ago
when she ascended to the helm
of the Maendeleo Ya Wanawake
Chesikaki Ward chapter, hoisted to
the top by the women of Cheptais
who believe in her transformation
and empowerment gospel.
Fade into oblivion
I have learnt never to take
anything for granted in life,
says the soft-spoken mother of
ve. I capitalise on every opening
to transform my life and that of
others in the society.
When her husband was
gunned down during the military
operation to ush out the SLDF
in 2008, many expected that
Ms Matwakei would fade into
oblivion, for she had always lived
in the shadow of the man.
She did, but only for a while.
Today, Ms Matwakei is leveraging
on the atrocities of the 2000s to
change mindsets. Her biggest
peace ambassadors are the many
widows who call Mt Elgon home,
and who, like her, lost their all
at the height of the uprising on
the mount.
As widows, says Ms Matwakei,
we felt neglected by the society.
Some people even pointed
accusing ngers at my family,
blaming my late husband for
the deaths committed by both
his militias and the government

Salome Chepkwemoi lived in the
shadows of the most infamous son of
Mt Elgon, Wyclie Komon Matwakei,
for years. After the death of her rebel
husband in 2008, she has rebranded
herself, emerging in recent years as a
peace ambassador and human rights
campaigner. At at time when her
neighbourhood is in the news again
over the alleged regrouping of the
Sabaot Land Defence Force that her
husband led, we traced her to her

soldiers who landed here in 08.
But I do not believe in giving up
in life. Determination knows no
obstacles and I had to take the
lead in making sure that we lead
comfortable lives as widows.
The idea to form the Cheptais
Network of Widows was mooted
in 2009 to help overcome
socio-economic challenges that
widows experienced after losing
their husbands often the sole
breadwinners here whether at
the hands of Matwakeis men or
government security agents.
The organisation, through
help from Eldoret-based Rural
Peace Link, secured a grant of
Sh300,000 from Action Aid
Kenya in 2010, which it used to
purchase a heifer for each of the
15 members of the group.
Today, Ms Matwakeis Cheptais
network of widows boasts
economic independence. The
heifers have turned their lives
around, and their leader is happy.
Her husband, known here at the
time as General Matwakei, was
a rich man by local standards, but
controversy trailed him and there
was little time for his family to
enjoy the riches.
Invested in farming
Ms Matwakei says the
Sh360,000 she earns from
her farming business annually
she has invested heavily in
dairy, maize and beans farming,
and recently leased five acres
of land to expand her business
cannot aord her the life she
led before the uprising, but she
is not complaining because she is
earning and spending it in peace.
She no longer has to look over her
shoulders whenever she goes to
the market, and the sneers and
inimical eyes of the 00s are no
more.
As part of extending her arms
to the community, she says she
has adopted seven orphans of the
war, all of whom she has sent to
school. Life, then, has gone back
to normal for this woman, who
met the General soon after
sitting her Form Four exams at
the turn of the millenium.
They married shortly
afterwards, but her dream of
leading a normal life was not to be
as her husband raged with ethnic
militancy, always agitating for the
freeing of large swathes of land in
Mt Elgon for his people.
Paradox of a man
Her husband, therefore, was a
paradox loved by some for his
emancipation struggles, and
loathed by many more others
for being the commander of
a gang that raped, killed and
maimed thousands in a span of
three years.
He complained at the time that
the Chepyuk Settlement Scheme,
which sought to resettle people
displaced from the mountain
earlier, should have been a sole
Sabaot aair.
Some locals cited discrimination
in allocation of land and high
level of poverty as the cause of
the uprising between 2005 and
2008. But Matwakeis chosen
path to liberation soon made
him an enemy of the people. His
group, high on a potent mixture
of tribal politics and bush warfare,
degenerated into a murderous
guerilla outt that roamed here
like a pack of hyenas, devouring
everything on their paths.
The gory details of that
misadventure were hidden from
the public for years, but when they
were eventually revealed during a
Truth, Justice and Reconciliation
Committee (TJRC) meeting at
the Kibuk Catholic Church in
Kapsokwony years later, they
were still as nauseating as they
were when they were fresh.
The SLDF, TJRC heard, rst
imposed taxes among well-off
members of the society as a
way of funding its activities.
And then, from its headquarters
in the bush, it started raining
terror on Mt Elgon, striking
in the middle of the night and
razing entire villages. There
were mass displacements and the
government called on the illegal
army to end its activities.
Nothing to lose
But no one was listening.
The gang had nothing at home,
and therefore nothing to lose.
Matwakei, then, became a
national symbol of arrogance and
brutality; and, in his shadows, his
wife lurked.
By the time the atrocities were
stomped out by a heavy army boot
and the man cornered, his wife
had become part of the struggle,
dragged into the limelight by the
mere fact that he shared not just
a name, but a life with Mt Elgons
most infamous son.
At her home recently, Ms
Matwakei remembered her
husband fondly, saying, despite
all that had been written of him,
he was a devoted Seventh Day
Adventist and a God-fearing
man. Her judgment of the man
is based on her initial years with
him and the lasting impression he
gave her when they rst met.
That, though, is a chapter that
she rarely revisits, opting instead
to concentrate on the now. Mt
Elgon post Matwakei has been
calm, but embers of the SLDF
still burn in the underground.
Bungoma County Commissioner
Maalim Mohamed says police
patrols have been intensied to
crack down on remnants of the
outlawed group, amid claims last
week that the dreaded force was
regrouping.
According to the administrator,
some suspects have been arrested
over acts of lawlessness in
the region, while civil rights
groups want the government to
collaborate with the community
in promoting healing and
reconciliation among the locals.
Peace and reconciliation is
necessary to build confidence
among the locals and propel
economic development in the
area, says Ken Wafula, the
Centre for Human Rights and
Democracys executive director.
Ms Matwakei, in the meantime,
is watching these developments
from a distance. She has been in
the thick of things and knows
how debilitating war can be.
Her children and heifers now
occupy more of her time than
the land politics of her people,
and because she knows that these
can only thrive in peacetime,
she is preaching reconciliation
and harmony to the women of
Mt Elgon.
Thats all I care about now,
she says.

1932
A group of Saboat presents, for
the rst time, their grievances
to the Kenya Land Commission,
a body set up by the British to
investigate land disputes. The
British acknowledge their case
and discuss a compensation
package, but it is never
implemented. The Sabaots
had been displaced from the
arable areas of Trans-Nzoia
district when the British colonial
government appropriated their
land for settler farms in the
1920s and 30s. They moved to
two areas Chepkitale and
Chepyuk.
1971
The government initiates a
resettlement programme for the
displaced Sabaots at Chepyuk.
Unfortunately, some of the
land supposed to come from
redesignated parts of the Mt
Elgon forest reserve is already
illegally settled on by families
who had moved to Chepyuk
earlier, and who are themselves
also facing land pressure. In
eect, the government is trying
to force the inhabitants of two
villages into the area occupied
by one. This leads to conict
and polarisation between the
two groups.
1989
The government makes a
second attempt to allocate land
at Mt Elgon, at a scheme known
as Chepyuk II. This, however, is
equally controversial, according
to various reports. In 1993 the
government of President Daniel
arap Moi annulled the Chepyuk
settlement scheme completely
and ordered the creation of
a third scheme, Chepyuk III,
reports Human Rights Watch.
By now the population had
increased even further and
people had been living for
more than a generation on
land whose status had not
been formalised. Because of
controversy and complications,
phase three was never fully
implemented and remained
an apparently dormant issue
throughout the 1990s.

EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL consumption,
including binge drinking, is responsible for
10 per cent of deaths among working-age
adults in the United States, according to a
recent study from the Centres for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The researchers used an online tool called
the Alcohol-Related Disease Impact ap-
plication to estimate alcohol-related deaths
ranging from car crashes and alcohol
poisoning to liver and heart disease. They
dened binge drinking as at least ve
consecutive drinks for men and four con-
secutive drinks for women.
One in six adults ages 20 to 65 reported
binge drinking at least four times a month;
the actual number is likely higher because
subjects tend to under-report their drinking
habits, the researchers said. The number
of Americans who binge drink skyrocketed
during the 1990s and levelled o in 2001,
but the average frequency of binge drink-
ing episodes is still rising.
Excessive drinking is the fourth-leading
cause of preventable death in the United
States, after smoking, poor nutrition and
physical inactivity.
Its a huge public health problem any way
you slice it, said Robert D. Brewer, a co-
author of the paper and the director of the
alcohol programme at the CDC.
There are things that we can do about it,
like raising the alcohol tax and encourag-
ing doctors to talk to their patients about
alcohol abuse, but a lot of those strategies
tend to be underused.

BY JULIET MACUR
New York Times Service
W
hen Argentina
midfielder Javier
Mascherano cracked
heads with a Dutch player during
a World Cup seminal last week,
millions of soccer fans saw it.
From all over the world, they
posted comments about it on
Twitter and Facebook the
Spanish words for concussion
are conmocin cerebral, by the
way and some fans probably
held their breath as they watched
Mascheranos reaction to the col-
lision.
He staggered for a few steps, as
if he had downed one too many
cocktails, then collapsed with a
zombies blank stare.
Spectators didnt need a
medical degree to realise
that he had hurt his head,
and probably his brain, and
that someone with a medi-
cal degree should properly
evaluate him.
But then came yet another ex-
ample of the dysfunction of Fifa,
the sports world governing body,
and how it apparently is indierent
to player safety, given what it has
shown at this World Cup: Mascher-
ano spent about two minutes on
the sideline before returning for
the rest of the match.
Thats about four or ve minutes
before he should have returned,
if he had received a proper neu-
rological evaluation to determine
the extent of his injury.
This came about three weeks
after lvaro Pereira of Uruguay
was knocked cold by a knee to the
head during a rst-round World
Cup match against England, with
many of those same millions of
fans watching him as he lay on his
back, unresponsive. The Keystone
Kops treated his injury; trainers
tried to slap him awake.
After waking, he resisted leav-
ing the eld and played the nal
30 minutes of the game. Later, he
said, the lights went out after he
was hit in the head.
Mascheranos injury came about
a week after the Brazilian star, Ney-
mar, took a knee to the back in a
quarternal match and fell to the
ground, writhing in pain and say-
ing he couldnt feel his legs.
Medical workers went to him
without a backboard and instead
rolled him onto a stretcher. Then
they jogged off the field with
him jostling around and crying
out with every step. One person
even slapped his right leg several
times.
Once again, no medical degree
was needed to see that it wasnt
the best treatment of someone
who might have just sustained a
serious spinal injury. Neymar, as
it turned out, had broken a bone
in his back.
Its a wonder what medical pro-
tocols Fifa enforces if it enforces
any at all when the world is not
watching. But its a good bet that
it would have snapped to attention
if any of those players had faked
an injury.
Fifa and fans have been shout-
ing full-throated demands for
rule changes to combat diving.
Pretending to be injured to draw
a foul is apparently a scourge
that must be banished in the
game at all costs. Fifas
president, Sepp Blat-
ter, has even suggested
using video replay to punish
it retroactively.
But injuries including serious
ones, like head injuries havent
seemed to bring about anything
similar in terms of outrage.
Players, who make the game so
beautiful for its fans, deserve
better.
FIFPro, the world players
union, knows that. It called for an
immediate investigation by Fifa
into how the Pereira head injury
was treated, calling the problem
of head injuries in the game a
ticking time bomb.
That bomb could explode right
in Fifas face, but it either hasnt
noticed or doesnt care.
Whether Fifa plans to change
how it deals with game-time
concussions is unclear, but what
is obvious is that it didnt do any-
thing quickly enough to protect
players like Mascherano.
His teammate, Pablo Zabaleta,
also appeared to sustain a head
injury in the game after smack-
ing an opposing player, but he
continued on.
This must stop. If Fifa or the
games fans care at all about the
players, they should complain
just as loudly when a player with
a head injury pops right back into
a game as they do when a player
nearly wins an Oscar by diving to
draw a foul.
Right now, though, Fifa is
showing its cowardice by saying
the onus is on the team doctor to
determine if a player is healthy
enough to return to the match.
Its as if it hasnt been follow-
ing the issue of head injuries in
sports at all.
Even the American NFL, which
for years ignored the seriousness
of concussions, has learned that a
doctor with no link to either team
in a game needs to evaluate a play-
ers tness after a head injury. The
NFL has also learned the hard way
most recently through thousands
of players suing it for concealing
what it knew about the dangers of
repeated hits to the head that
players with concussions shouldnt
play until theyve fully recovered
from their injury. But Fifa has that
in its own guidelines, which it must
have left back at headquarters in
Switzerland.
For the players, there are huge
risks of playing after a head injury,
including second-impact syn-
drome, which can occur when a
player with a concussion sustains
another concussion before the rst
one has healed. The result could
be fatal, though thats rare.
Is it going to take something
that severe for Fifa to start caring
about the players who have made
its sport so rich?
Players who return to the
game too early or have repeated
concussions could also be set-
ting themselves for a lifetime of
headaches, sensitivity to light and
sound, and chronic fatigue.
Taylor Twellman, a former
player in the American Major
League Soccer, has been strug-
gling with those symptoms after
a series of concussions ended his
career. And thats why, after see-
ing how Pereira and Mascherano
resumed playing after obvious
head injuries, Twellman excori-
ated Fifa for acting as if it was
living in the 1950s when it came
to its medical care.
He called it barbaric and pa-
thetic, but its more than that.
For how much the sports world
knows about concussions and how
they can ruin the lives of players,
Fifa has been irresponsible and
callous in how it has treated its
players at its biggest event.
Its own guidelines say: Do not
take a head injury lightly. No match
is that important.
Why even write that when you
dont really mean it?
Ouch! All these knocks should give Fifa a headache
Players who
return to the

A GERMAN STUDY has found
that the more education a person
has, the greater the likelihood that
he will be nearsighted.
The researchers did
ophthalmological and physical
examinations on 4,685 people
ages 35 to 74. About 38 per
cent were nearsighted. But of
those who graduated after 13
years in the three-tiered German
secondary school system, about
60.3 per cent were nearsighted,
compared with 41.6 per cent of
those who graduated after 10
years, 27.2 per cent of those who
graduated after nine years and
26.9 percent of those who never
graduated.
The percentage of myopic people
was also higher among university
graduates than among graduates
of vocational schools or those
with no professional training. The
study was published online in
Ophthalmology.
The association remained after
adjusting for age, gender and
many known myopia-associated
variations in DNA sequences.
The eect on myopia of the
genetic variations is much less
than the eect of education,
said the lead author, Dr Alireza
Mirshahi, an ophthalmologist at
Mainz University

A NEW STUDY suggests that
emergency surgery done on
children during the weekend
results in more complications and
deaths than similar surgery done
during the week.
The study, published in the
July issue of The Journal of
Paediatric Surgery, used a large
national database to match
112,064 weekend operations on
children younger than 18 with
327,393 operations performed
on weekdays. The selected
operations were performed
on the day of admission and
the procedures were coded as
emergencies in the database.
Only about 1 per cent of cases had
complications, and less than one-
tenth of 1 per cent of the children
died. But even after controlling
for sex, age, race, type of surgery
and other factors, patients having
a procedure on the weekend were
40 per cent more likely to suer
an accidental puncture or cut, 14
per cent more likely to receive a
transfusion, and 63 per cent more
likely to die.
The lead author, Dr Seth D.
Goldstein, said if weekend
treatment had matched weekday
treatment over the 20-year study
period, about 50 deaths would
have been prevented.

Q: I often include about half of

soft-boiled breakfast egg. Is eat-

A: Crunching coarse bits of
eggshell will probably not make
much dierence in meeting your
nutritional needs, but scientic
studies have reported that pow-
dered eggshells can be a useful
source of dietary calcium.
A 2003 review article in The
International Journal of Clinical
Pharmacology Research said
that human and animal studies
had found that a preparation of
ground eggshells was a natural
source of calcium and other
elements, like strontium and
uorine.
The bioavailability of calcium
from this source, as tested in
piglets, was similar or better
than that of food-grade puried
calcium carbonate, the authors
wrote.
In postmenopausal women
and women with senile oste-
oporosis, the authors said, the

ity and bone density or halted
its loss.
An Argentine study published
last year in The International
Journal of Food Science and
Nutrition found that the shell of
a single chicken egg contained
about two grams of calcium,
roughly twice the average daily
adult requirement. The research-
ers also found that eggshell
powder prepared at home could
be added to other foods, like
bread, pizza or spaghetti, with no
change in avor and only minor
changes in texture.
A new, inexpensive, easy-
to-use cholera vaccine that
is stockpiled for emergencies
worked very well during a
cholera outbreak in Africa, Doc-
tors Without Borders reported
recently.
Two doses of the oral vac-
cine called Shanchol, invented in
Vietnam and produced in India,
provided 86 per cent protection
against cholera, which causes di-
arrhea and dehydration so severe
that it can kill, a study published
in The New England Journal of
Medicine last month found.
The study was done by
Epicentre, the research arm of
Doctors Without Borders, and
the Health Ministry of Guinea,
during a 2012 outbreak there.
More than 316,000 doses
were given out, and about 75 per
cent of the residents of cholera-
aected areas got two doses,
which is good coverage for an
outbreak already underway.
Two vaccines have been
stockpiled by the World Health
Organization since 2013. But the
older vaccine, Dukoral, made by
a subsidiary of Johnson & John-
son, was invented mostly for the
wealthy travel market.
Dukoral costs more than
Sh400 a dose and must be given
with a glass of alkaline soda as a
buer against stomach acid. Car-
rying soda and clean cups slows
vaccinators down.
Shanchol, which costs less
than Sh150, comes in a vial
smaller than an energy shot. It
was developed with support
from the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation, and its maker, Shan-
tha Biotechnics, has said that
large orders could push the price
below Sh100 a dose.
It took until 2010 for the WHO
to accept the idea of ghting
cholera with vaccines, but now
that seems mostly from the
school of the overwhelmingly
obvious, said Rebecca F Grais,
Epicentres epidemiology direc-
tor and an author of the study.

Hi Doc,
I have a friend who developed some
sores on his beard, which later turned
into wounds. His face looks very bad
and now the same problem has ex-
tended to his private parts. He was told
it was bacterial infection. What could
be the problem because they come and
disappear after some time?
Leah
Dear Leah,
This sounds like he has an infection
of the hair roots of the beards and the
private parts. This kind of infection is
called folliculitis. It occurs because dur-
ing shaving, the hair follicle is damaged
and exposed, and the normal bacteria
that live on the skin get into the follicle.
Once they enter the follicle, they cause
an infection. Some people are more
prone to shaving-associated folliculitis
than others. Others develop folliculitis
because they have a lot of coarse hair. It
can be reduced by ensuring a warm wet
beard when shaving, using a good qual-
ity shaving cream, shaving with proper
modern razor blades and only shaving
in the direction of the beard growth. If it
worsens even after correctly shaving the
beard, kindly advise your friend to see a
doctor, who might prescribe an antibi-
otic for him.
Dear Doc,
I am very stressed because I have
too much hair all over my body. I am
not condent because I have hair on
my legs, arms, stomach and chin.
Sometimes, I am emotionally aected.
I have been undergoing treatment with-
out success.
I often miss my periods and have
tried to become pregnant, in vain.
Might this have aected my fertility? I
have very bad mood swings, which are
not characteristic of me because I want
to be happy but no one understands me
and I even fear letting people know.
I have seen many gynaecologists
and am currently seeing one at a major
private hospital in Nairobi. What do I
do because I desperately want a baby
but have only been give nfamily plan-
ning pills to balance the hormones?
This is something that should be
addressed because we are suering in
silence. Please urgently advise on what
I should do or what kind of specialist
I should visit. I am desperate and suf-
fering.
Esther
Dear Esther,
I can understand the distress that
excessive hair can cause for a woman.
It is called hirsuitism, which is exces-
sive hair growth in areas where, in
women, hair is minimal or absent. It is
usually caused by the overproduction
of steroid hormones. You say you are
currently under the care of a gynaecolo-
gist, and that you have used dierent
medication. I would like to know what
tests you have undergone to enable me
to determine the way forward.
Usually, the tests are to nd out the
cause(s) of increased hormone produc-
tion. They can be an ultrasound to
check for polycystic ovaries, or blood
tests for hormonal proles. Have any of
these been done? And if so, what were
the ndings?
Obesity is also another predisposing
factor. What is your body mass index
(or weight and height - I can calculate it
for you). Some drugs also increase the
chances of hirsuitism. Have you been on
any drugs apart from the contraceptives
you mentioned?
Dont worry too much. You have al-
ready taken a step in the right direction
by seeing a gynaecologist. This should
help in terms of investigating the cause
as well as helping you get pregnant. The
process might take a while, so you be
patient. There are solutions, but they
will not come overnight.
Dear Doc,
I am having a problem with my
hair. Ive tried using several hair treat-
ment products, dieted as the advised by
hair professionals at the salons I visit,
in vain. Its been three years since I
lost my hairline and it hasnt grown
back. At the same time my hair is not
as thick and strong as I want it to be.
What do I do? Is there a product or
medication I can undertake to improve
this? Kindly advise.
Penny
Dear Penny,
Hair loss is a problem that aicts
both men and women, but it is more dis-
tressing for women due to the cosmetic
eect. There are three more common
causes of generalised hair loss. First, the
eect of hair chemicals, braiding and
styling can lead to general thinning of
the hair since these might make the hair
weaker and more brittle. Second, there
is hair loss that occurs with age, which
in women tends to occur at around 40.
Lastly, there is what is referred to as
female pattern baldness, which tends to
be genetic, and thus runs in families.
However, there are other causes of
hair loss, especially where it is patchy.
As with any skin condition, it is dif-
cult to diagnose the cause of hair loss
without a physical examination. It is,
therefore, advisable that you visit a
dermatologist (skin specialist) who can
examine and determine the type and
cause of hair loss you are experiencing.
This will guide the treatment, if neces-
sary.
Dear Doc,
I am 25 years old. When I was in
high school, my hair started turning
white, little by little. Now I have white
hair all over my head. I am the only one
in our family with this problem. How
can I reduce the greying. Many people
have advised me to dye it but I nd
that disgusting. Are there any proven
foods or nutritional products I can use?
Omari
Dear Omari,
What you describe is early grey-
ing. In a few cases, it might be because
of vitamin B12 deciency or a problem
with some hormones thyroid or pi-
tuitary. It would be a good idea to get
checked, because if these are contribut-
ing factors, addressing them could stop
the greying. However, if you eat regular
food like most people, it is unlikely that
you have a vitamin deciency. Most of
the time, early greying has to do with
genetics. There is no way to reverse this.
The management is aimed at masking,
hence the dyeing.
The other alternative is to accept
and enjoy being grey, and let it be your
unique identier. There is no reason to
believe that having grey hair means you
cannot look good. It all depends on the
way you look at it.

When body hair is cause for worry
For some, it is balding, for others it is
excessive hair or hair in unwanted places,
and for yet others it is greying. These
are common problems that distress
those aected, and especially women.
Luckily there is help for most of them. But
whatever your problem, it is advisable to
consult a specialist for a diagnosis so that
you can get the appropriate treatment.
A NEW STUDY HAS revealed that babies born
to healthy mothers worldwide grow similarly in the
womb and are of strikingly similar size at birth. Poor
nutrition and health, not race or ethnicity, cause most
of the current wide disparities in the size of babies
born in dierent countries and to dierent popula-
tions.
This landmark international study, Intergrowth-
21st, was led by Oxford University researchers, and
involved almost 60,000 pregnancies in eight dened
urban areas in Kenya, Brazil, China, India, Italy, Oman,
the UK and US.
Maternal health, education and nutrition are the
primary determinants of the size of a baby at birth,
not race and ethnicity, concluded the researchers,
including Dr Maria Carvalho from Aga Khan Univer-
sitys Faculty of Health Sciences in Nairobi, and Prof
Zulqar Bhutta from AKUs Centre for Excellence in
Women and Child Health in Karachi and the Hospital
for Sick Children in Toronto. Dr Bhutta is the chair of
the Steering Committee of the research team.
Funded by the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation
and published in The Lancet, the study also dem-
onstrates that it is important to improve womens
education, health and nutritional status as this has
a signicant bearing on the healthy growth of the
baby in the womb and on future good health.
The Intergrowth-21st results t perfectly with the
existing WHO standards being used for infants. In
short, from now on, international standards can be
used to make judgments on growth and size from
conception to ve years worldwide.
Several Kenyan mums contributed to the study
run by the Aga Khan University at the university hos-
pital, with additional data from the MP Shah Hospital
and Avenue Hospital in Nairobi. The Aga Khan Uni-
versity Hospital is a leading tertiary referral hospital
in East Africa and has a strong research department
that supports and helps specialists-in-training with
their research projects.

WE ALL HAVE excess hair we would
want to get rid of at some point. Be it
the man who shaves to look neat or the
woman who has hairy legs she would like
to smoothen or the one with a moustache,
removing hair is now a practical part of
every adults life.
There are several hair removal tech-
niques but in almost all of them, some or
most of the hair will grow back. Below are
some of the most common methods.
Shaving
This is the most basic and longest used
hair removal method. It works by cutting
the hair strand at various lengths. It might
be trimming, as the case with the standard
barber haircut, to cutting right at the base
of the strand. Various technologies have
been developed to cut as close to the skin
as possible. The closer the cut, the more
likely it is that there will be skin irrita-
tion. The more basic methods, such as the
straight razor, also contribute signicantly
to skin irritation. Use of shaving creams
and after-shave lotions and gels help re-
duce this. Shaving can also cause in-grown
hairs and scar formation as seen on the
chins of many men. Shaving is the most ef-
cient and economical option for the scalp,
face, arms and legs.
Bleaching
This is not involve hair removal. Bleach-
ing reduces hair pigment colour to make it
less noticeable. It is useful in areas where
there is a thin line of dark-coloured hair,
such as above the lip in women.
Pulling/ Plucking/ Tweezing
This involves using tweezers to pull out
hair. It is ideal for areas where there are
few hair strands. Women often use it to
shape their eyebrows and men to remove
excess hair from the nostrils or ears. It is
cheap but can be painful, time consum-
ing, and can result in scaring and in-grown
hairs. With time, it can lead to damage of
the hair follicle. And it should not be done
over large areas.
Threading
This is a form of pulling that originated
in India. A thread is twisted into the hair
shaft and used to pull out the hair from the
follicle.
Electrolysis
This is the only permanent form of hair
removal. It involves inserting a ne needle
into the hair follicle and burning the follicle
with an electric current or a chemical. If it
is done enough times, hair will never grow
again from the burnt follicles.
However, it can take several sessions to
be successful. Besides, it has several chal-
lenges: each hair follicle must be treated
individually; the process could take up to
18 months; nding a qualied technician
is not easy, it is expensive and has side ef-
fects such as burning, keloid formation in
susceptible persons, scarring and changes
in pigmentation. It is also not practical to
use over large areas.
Creams
These are called depilatory creams. They
are sold over the counter. There are dier-
ent creams for dierent parts of the body,
so you should check to make sure you are
buying the right product. Generally, they all
work by dissolving the hair shaft. Dierent
creams have dierent concentrations. If
left on for too long, though, they can cause
burning. Some people may have an allergic
reaction, so rst-time users should rst test
the cream over a small area. But take care
before using depilatory creams on the face.
Waxing
This method involves spreading hot
on the hairy area and pulling the wax o
when it has cooled; it comes o with the
attached hair shafts, the root and the bulb.
It is commonly used for removing pubic,
underarm and leg hair. Once removed, the
hair takes a number of weeks to regrow.
Its main disadvantage is that some hairs
can be left, a burn can occur, and in some
cases, it can lead to severe skin infection.
Waxing leaves the follicle open, meaning
increased risk of infection. Most experts
recommend use of antibacterial creams
after waxing. Some people undergoing
treatment for acne might have very deli-
cate skin and waxing could result in the
skin being pulled o.
Laser
This method uses laser/light energy that
is transmitted through the hair shaft down
into the follicle where it destroys the hair
root. The hair then weakens over a few
days and falls o. It is not permanent, and
retreatment is needed about once a year.
It is ideal for dark-skinned people but does
not work well on blonde hair and is inef-
fective on white hair. The drawbacks are
that it is expensive, takes several sessions
for desirable results and can cause scaring,
dark spots, burns and keloid formation. To
avoid all this, there is only one type of laser
that should be used on dark skin.
Sugar waxing
This is a newer method that uses a
sugar-based paste instead of wax. It is bet-
ter in that the sugar paste is easier to clean
o than traditional hot wax. There are
other newer waxes that are not made of
wax, and work better.

Vaniqa
This is a cream sold on prescription that
interferes with an enzyme that stimulates
hair growth. It is usually used as supple-
mentary treatment after laser hair removal.
It can also be used on its own, though
getting the desired eect could take up
to six months. Vaniqa might not be locally
available.
Hormonal/Oral contraceptives
A few women have a condition called
polycystic ovarian syndrome, one of
whose manifestations is hirsutism. It can
be severe, resulting in men-like beards in
women, and/or hair all over the body. The
main form of treatment is regulating the
bodys hormonal levels using oral con-
traceptive pills, which may be external or
ingested hormones.

TITLE: The American Dream
AUTHOR: Ken Walibora
PUBLISHER: Longhorn Publishers

I thought you said you want to
go the United States, isnt it?
I said America, Madoa insisted.
Theres no dierence between
them. Dont you remember what
the teacher said the other day
Thats rubbish! he said in
disgust. Dont give me that junk
about the teacher. Thats why I hate

Im fed up with life here in Sangura. Im

I then remembered what our Geog-
raphy teacher, Mr. James Njoroge, had
taught us about the United States or,
in short, the US. He had said that to go
to the US, you had to cross the Atlantic
Ocean, a very huge ocean. He had said
you could only access US by air or by
sea.
I turned to my friend Madoa and asked
him, Tell me, Madoa, by what means do
you intend to go to the US? Dont you
know how far that place is?
I know how Ill get there, he retorted.
Where theres a way theres a will.
You mean where theres a will theres
a way?
Whatever. Anyway, I have a friend
who will facilitate my journey.
Madoa then told me about his friend
Rock. They had met in Nairobi. Madoa
said that Rock was not a kid like we were.
He was a grown-up and a globetrotter.
He knew numerous languages. He could
speak foreign languages such as English,
German, Hindi and Arabic. Furthermore,
he could speak all the local languages
in our country, including Maasai, Kamba,
Kikuyu, Luhya and so on.
Rock will arrange for me to go to
America or the You Night Tatters, or what
did you call it?

The fraud allegations surrounding compen-
sation plan for acquisition of transmission line
wayleaves came to the open last week with the
suspension of two ocials.
The Kenya Electricity Transmission Com-
pany (Ketraco), has suspended two top ocials
accused of colluding with locals to frustrate
government eorts to acquire land for construc-
tion of high voltage lines to transmit power.
The lines aected are the Mombasa-Nairobi
400KV line which has stalled at Isinya/Athi
River section after residents of Emali and Isinya
demanded high compensation for their land.
The suspended ocials are said to have
pushed residents to demand higher compensa-
tion.
We are 80 per cent complete but the local
community have blocked construction and
chased away the contractor forcing it to halt
work, said Ketraco managing director Joel
Kiilu.
Local MPs, Peris Tobiko (Kajiado East) and
Moses ole Sakuda (Kajiado West) have joined
the push for higher claims.
The locals are protesting discrepancy in pay
between those on the Emali side who got 85 per
cent while Isinya people got 30 per cent, said
Mr Sakuda on the phone.
Compensation levels
We are arbitrating. We have agreed with Ke-
traco to review compensation levels, said Ms
Tobiko on the phone.
While the Constitution empowers the Na-
tional Land Commission (NLC) to compulso-
rily acquire land in such instances, persistent
wrangles over acquisition of wayleaves are
hampering eorts to provide additional power
capacity.
We had meetings with county governments
to unlock the problem. We will use the NLC in
all future projects, said Kiilu.
The Mombasa-Nairobi line is required to
tap thermal generation at the Coast as well as
1,760MW from the planned coal and liqueed
natural gas (LNG) plants. These are parts of ef-
forts to add 5,000MW to the national grid.
The Jubilee administration promised to lower
the cost of electricity by 40 per cent by install-
ing more capacity on the national grid to make
the country an attractive destination for inves-
tors.
Facing hurdles
The renewed demands come days after En-
ergy Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir admitted
that the anticipated delivery of 280MW is facing
hurdles following huge compensation claims by
those living along the designated route.
A total of 19 people out of the 280 aected
along the route have rejected set rates and want
them raised threefold. If the demand is granted,
the compensation amount would more than
double to over Sh4 billion.
In addition, contractors have also started
slapping daily penalties for idle work as locals
continue to block the projects.
There are also delays on the Nairobi Ring
which are slowing down progress on the Olka-
ria-Suswa-Isinya and Isinya-Embakasi lines.
Completion of Suswa-Isinya-Embakasi line is
crucial as it would evacuate additional output
from Olkaria elds.
A substation required to be built at Suswa by
July to facilitate evacuation has also stalled as
the local communities demand higher compen-
sation for their land.
We needed to speed up the substation plus
the Suswa-Isinya Line. However, we have
stopped the line because the locals are demand-
ing higher compensation, said Kiilu .
Only recently, the 300MW Lake Turkana
Wind Power project (LTWP) also partly delayed
over wayleave controversies.
The Loiyangalani-Suswa, Kenya- Ethiopia
interconnector and the Nairobi-Mombasa lines
have faced substantial delays partly because of
land acquisition issues and nancing structure,
Mr Kiilu noted.
Landowners
Last month Ketraco ran an ad calling on
landowners in Kiambu and Kajiado to come out
and make claims on payments to allow for the
construction of Suswa-Isinya transmission line.
Although we have so far been able to reach
most of the persons aected by the project.
there are a few landowners who we have not
been able to reach, read the notice signed by
Mr Kiilu.
Hydro is the predominant source of power
in Kenya but it is currently facing challenges
because of low rain.
This leaves the country in a tough situation,
with the possibility of rationing power, turning
to diesel-generated power or increasing imports
from neighbouring Uganda.
Kenyas current installed capacity is 1,700MW
against demand for 2,236MW, leaving a short-
fall of 536MW.

Kenyas inaugural digital media
boot camp will be held this
month in Nairobi.
The event is aimed at en-
couraging companies and
individuals to use digital media
not only for customer care but
to also boost prots. Delegates
from the private sector and
government parastatals are
expected to attend the event
which will run from July 24 to
25 at USIU.
It will be an opportunity for
the corporates and even indi-
viduals to brand their products
online and use social media not
just to respond to customer
queries but also improve prof-
its, said Jane Muriithi, United
States International University
(USIU) Africa marketing man-
ager.
The key speaker of the camp,
organised by USIU Africa, Na-
tion Media Group and Globe
Track International, is digital
guru Erik Qualman.
Harry Porter
Qualman is the author of
Socialnomics; How social media
transforms the way we live and
do business. He has also au-
thored the Digital Leader that
made him to be voted as the
second Most Likeable Author
in the World behind Harry Pot-
ter author J.K. Rowling.
His latest book, What Hap-
pens in Vegas Stays on YouTube
is already being used by uni-
versities and companies for
training.
As the country moves to-
wards embracing digital media
in small medium enterprises,
the camp will provides knowl-
edge on trends in digital media
and how to transform them
to be a marketing tool, said
Ms Muriithi. She added that
the event targets all people in
dierent capacities in organisa-
tions with the knowledge on
how to communicate as a team
and portray the brand while
selling to clients online.
The country has not had
digital media being taught for-
mally in universities and most
people have learnt by experi-
ence. It is this experience that
Qualman is bringing to Kenya
to impart skills to all people
and not just those in corporate
communication and market-
ing, she said.
Maximise interaction
Fawa, a social media manager
at USIU Africa, said digital me-
dia has created employment
for her although she has not
formally trained on the eld.
I majored in International Re-
lations but ever since I started
working, my jobs have been
on managing social media ac-
counts for dierent organisa-
tions, she added.
She says the digital camp will
provide more information that
will enable her to maximise her
interaction with clients online
and translate that into nancial
growth of the organisations for
which she manages their online
presence.
Qualman, who has made it
on the Forbes Top 50 Digital
Power Inuencers list, has
helped grow the digital ca-
pabilities of many companies
including Cadillac, EarthLink,
EF Education, Yahoo, Travelzoo
and AT&T. His involvement in

The revival of the troubled Kenya Planters
Co-operative Union could be in jeopardy over
leadership crisis triggered by calls for election
of new oce bearers.
The current KPCU board says one of the
conditions for the funds given to the union for
revival was that it completes its term that ends
in two years.
This adds a new twist in the controversy over
the elections called for July 31 by Industrialisa-
tion Principal Secretary Wilson Songa. The
current board has opposed the elections say-
ing their three-year term has not expired.
The PS has written to governors asking them
to organise KPCU elections in their coee
zones. The borrowed funds have a default
clause that does not envisage the change
of board until 2016. What this means is that
KPCU could relapse to the state of receivership
if the current agitation for change of the board
is sustained, said KPCU chairman William
Gatei. The board has 10 members from dier-
ent coee zones.
This is happening even as the board an-
nounced that it would start verifying the
amounts to be paid in arrears to farmers from
Monday for coee delivered before 2009.
KPCU was placed under receivership by the
Kenya Commercial Bank in October 2009, and
Deloitte Consulting Ltd was appointed receiver
managers after the union failed to repay a
Sh644 million debt. Its assets were almost
auctioned a year later, but the government
intervened.
We do not know who is intended to benet
from the current agitation for elections even
before the board has completed its term. It
seems there are those in the (Industrialisation)
ministry who would not want to see KPCU
resume operations for whatever reasons, Mr
Gatei said.
According to the minutes of the AGM meet-
ing held on July 31 last year, the board was
conrmed for a three-year term to oversee the
revival of the union.
Mr Songa, however, declined to comment on
the matter when contacted.
In that case I might not be able to comment
on the matter as the commissioner has been
handling it and we are meeting on Monday,
Mr Songa said.
KPCU and KCB have entered an out-of-court
settlement over the debt and the union has
already paid the rst instalment of Sh100
million. After talks between the two rms, the
debt was reduced to Sh400 million. Mr Gatei
said the balance of Sh300 million is to be paid
over a period of about ten years without inter-
est. The board has called for a special general
meeting on July 29 to discuss the payment of
farmers arrears and the way forward on the
revival of KPCU.
Advertisement for the sale of Wakulima
building was put in the local dailies in 2010 but
strong lobbying by the farmers ensured the
government put a caveat on the auctioning.
The vested interests have made it dicult
for KPCU to get o the ground. We know there
are forces that have always worked against
revival of KPCU. We shall resist attempts to sell
o assets to benet few people, said an of-
cial of a coee society in Kiambu.

Revival of giant farmers union at stake over leadership wrangles

Cement consumption in Kenya rose to an
all-time high in May fuelled by huge infrastruc-
ture projects.
Data from the Kenya National Bureau of
Statistics (KNBS) show that consumption of
cement stood at a high of 450,379 tonnes in
May. This is the highest consumption seen in
the Kenyan market in one month. The demand
was partly driven by increased cement use by
road contractors after they were paid their
dues by the government this year.
ARM Africa (Athi River Mining) chief ex-
ecutive ocer, Mr Pradeep Paunrana attrib-
uted the trend to increased activities in the
infrastructure front and the resilience of the
economy.
The government has been settling accounts
for all contractors in the roads construction
sector this year. This has fuelled demand for
cement. All payments were made this year,
Mr. Paunrana said on the phone.
He said the economy has remained resilient
with a sustained growth momentum that has
seen consumption continue to rise.
Year on year consumption rose by 33 per
cent to 450,379 tonnes from 337,866 tonnes
in May 2013. In the ve-month period of 2014,
consumption stood at 2 million tonnes, which
is almost half the consumption levels of 4.27
million tonnes registered in the whole of 2013.
In the rst ve months of 2013, consumption
stood at 1.6 million tonnes.
Kenyas housing and construction sector
also continues to register improved activity
that has fuelled demand for cement in the last
decade.
A report of April 2014 by Faida Investment
Bank indicates that growth in the consump-
tion of cement is driven by the rising demand
for housing that has triggered an upsurge in
housing developments funded by the private
sector.
The report further says the demand is also
riding on the back of commercial construction
boom fuelled by increased foreign investments
and extensive government spending in the
countrys mega infrastructure projects.
The growth story is still the same even
across the East African economies. The low
consumption per capita levels coupled with
huge infrastructure gaps and growing govern-
ment expenditure signify signicant upside
potential for increased demand for cement go-
ing forward, Faida Investment Bank analysts
said in their report on the sector.
Despite a slowdown in the construction sec-
tor in the rst half of this year to 4.9 per cent
compared to a growth of 7.4 per cent in a simi-
lar quarter in 2013, the cement consumption
expanded by 17.2 per cent during the review
period. Production of cement has, however,
registered mixed results despite consistent
consumption in the last decade.
Between January and May this year, produc-
tion stood at 2.3 million tonnes compared to
1.9 million tonnes produced in the same period
2013.
In the whole of 2013, production stood at 5
million tonnes compared to 4.6 million tonnes
in 2012. Consumption in 2013 stood at 4.27
million tonnes compared to 3.9 million tonnes
consumed in 2012. Between 1992 and 2002,
cement production in Kenya stood at an aver-
age of 1.2 million tonnes annually with con-
sumption stuck at a low of 1.1 million tonnes.
The prevailing economic diculties in the
country and dwindling demand from export
markets in the period saw cement production
and consumption remain low despite robust
growth globally.
Between 2002 and 2012, however, cement
production recovered, growing at an average
rate of 15 per cent year on year to 4.64 million
tonnes.
Cement companies have also invested heav-
ily in enhancing their production capacity in
the period boosting cumulative output for the
domestic and export market in East Africa.
Consumption in the same period also grew
at a year on year average of 15 per cent to 3.94
million tonnes. Industry analysts project that
cement consumption is set to grow at an aver-
age of 10 per cent to reach 6.3 million tonnes
by 2017.
Kenya has six cement manufacturers. These
are ARM Africa (formerly Athi River Mining),
Bamburi Cement, East African Portland,
Savanna, National Cement and Mombasa Ce-
ment. These rms has the capacity to produce
a total of 7.25 million tonnes of cement annu-
ally. A seventh cement factory, Cemtech, plans
to set up a plant in West Pokot.
Aliko Dangote, a Nigerian billionaire busi-
nessman, also plans to set up a cement manu-
facturing company in Kenya to tap into the
growing demand in the country and the East
African region.
The cement industry, however, is experienc-
ing sti competition which has led to price
wars and high production costs that have af-
fected prot margins and created barriers to
entry.
Combined with the high cost of production
in the country, and a relatively costly route to
market to avail products to the customers, it
will become increasingly dicult to continue
reducing the price of the nal product to
ensure sustainability and ability to scale up
business operations in the longer term, Faida
Investment Bank analysts noted.

Banks told
to diversify
their sources
of funds
Global rating agency says Kenyan
lenders rely too much on customer
deposits and thus are unable to raise
enough capital to participate in big
infractructure projects
BY MUTHOKI MUMO
mumumo@ke.nationmedia.com

Heavy reliance on
short-term deposits may
block Kenyan banks from
participating in the regions
infrastructure boom.
Credit rating agency
Moodys has said that lo-
cal banks need to diversify
their sources of capital if
they are to get a piece of
the pie through nancing
government infrastructure
projects and private sector
exploration of oil and gas.
Kenyan banks rely prima-
rily on customer deposits
for onward lending. How-
ever, there is a mismatch
between these often short-
term goals and the long-
term financing needs in
infrastructure.
Small capital base does
not allow banks to partici-
pate in East Africas big in-
frastructure projects and all
the growth happening in the
region, said Moodys senior
credit ocer, Mr Constanti-
nos Kypreos.
Kenyas issuance of a sov-
ereign bond in June paved
the way for nancial institu-
tions and other corporates
to nd alternative sources
of funds in the international
capital markets.
However, the banks
close ties with the govern-
ment could be their undo-
ing. Since they hold a lot
of government debt, it is
unlikely that Kenyan banks
would be able to borrow
from international markets
at any rate cheaper than six
per cent and seven per cent,
at which Kenya acquired
the two tranches of the Eu-
robond funds.
High exposure to gov-
ernment bonds typically
links a banks credit prole
to that of the sovereign,
said Mr Kypreos.
A 2013 report by audit
rm Deloitte indicates that
the private sector in East
Africa is only funding about
two per cent of the mega
construction projects in the
region. International devel-
opment institutions were
the largest source of funds,
nancing 24 per cent of all
projects.
This is not to say that lo-
cal banks have entirely been
shut out.
Barclays Bank last year
signed a deal to lend Sh1.1
billion ($13 million) to
Mariott Drilling Africa.
The funds were to enable
the UK-based deep drilling
company to acquire and de-
ploy oil rigs in Kenya.
The Kenya Commercial
Bank has also nanced the
construction of a Sh5 billion
sea-side resort in Mombasa.
The rst of its kind, the English Point
Marina, is expected to reposition the
East African coastline as a key tourist
destination.
Equity Bank Kenya was part of a con-
sortium that lent funds to Rift Valley
Railways to improve its business opera-
tions in 2011.
Other members of the consortium
were African Development Bank and
the International Finance Corporation.
Now that Kenya has issued its sovereign
bond, however, Moodys expects that
more local banks and corporates will
turn to the international capital market
for funds.
Therefore, the rm is readying itself
for increased demand for its rating
services.
We have been approached and we
are engaging in meaningful discussions
with various companies, said Moodys
senior vice president, Mr Michael Ko-
rwin. Banks and utility rms, Moodys
says, will most likely be among the rst
Kenyan companies to borrow from the
international capital markets.
KenGen and Kenya Power, in particu-
lar, have said that international bonds
may be one of the modes they will use
to raise revenue.
Currently, Moodys has not rated any
East African bank.

It is not often that a son gets to
decide the fate of a fathers big invest-
ment decision. But as destiny would
have it, Mr Paul Muthaura, the longest
acting chief executive of the Capital
Markets Authority, will have the duty
of approving or vetoing the dream of
his father, Ambassador Francis Kirimi
Muthaura, who wants to tighten his
grip on the countrys main mortgage
nancing company.
Two weeks ago, Britam chaired
by Mr Francis Muthaura entered
into a sale agreement with Equity
Bank to acquire the banks 24 per cent
stake in Housing Finance.
The deal is valued at slightly over
Sh2 billion. With the three compa-
nies listed at the Nairobi Securities
Exchange, the rules of the game mean
that the Capital Markets Authority
must approve or veto the purchase.
Making the nal call
Paul, the son of Mr Muthaura
former Cabinet Secretary and
head of the Civil Service in Mr Mwai
Kibakis government will have the
task of making the nal call on the
deal. Mr Muthaura was appointed to
chair Britams board of directors in
November last year.
It is a very tricky and interesting
situation, both because of the relation-
ship between the parties involved and
the uniqueness of the transaction, an
analyst who declined to be quoted said
in a telephone interview.
However, it is the nature and timing
of the deal that has aroused interest
in how CMA will handle the approval
process.
The CMA boardroom is currently in
a power vacuum after four directors,
including chairman Kungu Gata-
baki, left at the end of May. The fact
that directors have not been appointed
to replace the retired ones, with the
institution yet to get a new chairman,
means the buck stops with the CEO,
Mr Paul Muthaura.
It is, however, the exit of Mr Gata-
baki that adds a twist to the intrigues.
Mr Gatabaki was not just CMA chair-
man, he was also the board chairman
of Housing Finance the subject of
the sale.
Mr Gatabaki was forced out of HF
in 2010 after Britam and Equity jointly
bought Commonwealth Development
Corporations 24.9 per cent stake in
Housing Finance, valued at Sh1.1 bil-
lion.
The deal was concluded in 2007,
but it was not until 2010 when the
two firms increased their stake in
HF to 37.31 per cent that they staged
a coup against Mr Gatabaki. He was
replaced by Equity Bank chairman
Peter Munga.
Mr Gatabaki would, however, nd
favour with then President Kibaki.
He was appointed the CMA chair-
man. Perhaps wounded by the vicious
boardroom battle, Mr Gatabaki would
lead a battle to enhanced corporate
governance. Some players said he
was out to settle scores with the peo-
ple who pushed him out through what
he reportedly felt was an irregular
process owing to weak regulation on
governance.
The HF deal, coming so quickly
after his exit, is raising eyebrows.

Britam exist as dierent entities, in
reality the two are led by personalities

On the other hand, Britams group CEO
Benson Wairegi sits in the board of all

means the three rms are privy to each
others strategies, a factor that has raised
eyebrows with regard to competition in
the industry.
Britam holds a 10 per cent stake in Eq-
uity Bank while Equity holds a 21.4 per
cent stake in the investment rm.
In an interview with Smart Company,
Mr Muthaura said the situation is inter-
esting but that the regulator has a clear
way of ensuring there is no conict of in-
terest in analysing and determining such
a transaction.
Yes he (Francis Muthaura) is my dad
but the authority has a clear way of deal-
ing with mergers or other transactions in
which there is perceived to be conict of
interest. I most likely will not be part of
the team that looks into that transaction,
Mr Paul Muthaura said.
It is unlikely that a new board or chair-
man will be appointed soon as the gov-
ernment moves to consolidate regulation
of the nancial sector according to rec-
ommendations of the Presidential Task
Force on Parastatal Reforms.
Umbrella regulator
The taskforce recommended the
creation of an umbrella nancial sector
regulator that brings under one body the
Insurance Regulatory Authority, CMA
and the Retirement Benets Authority.
Implementation of this recommendation
is what has held back the constitution of
a new board of the CMA.
But while Mr Muthaura might be left
out of the committee that looks into
the Equity-Britam-HF transaction, his
position as the ultimate decision maker
at the regulator will denitely inuence
the deal.
The transaction is central to Britams
agenda as it seeks to grow its footprint
in the real estate sector in a bid to di-
versify revenues. Its success would raise
Britams stake in HF to 46 per cent, giv-
ing it an opportunity to play a central role
in the real estate sector without having to
start from scratch.
Britam is going big on real estate.
They will need HF to help get their prop-
erty to the market through mortgages. On
the other hand, HF needs a good deal on
insurance of its mortgages. Equity Bank
is currently in search of funds to meet the
new banking capital requirements. It is a
win-win situation for all the three, Mr
Kuria Kamau of Kestrel Capital said.
Other regulators expected to approve
the deal are Central Bank and the Com-
petition Authority Kenya.
Mr Wangombe Kariuki, director gen-
eral of the Competition Authority of
Kenya, said his institution was yet to look
into the operations of the three rms. He
said he had not considered the proposed
transaction.
Let me not comment on an issue the
authority is yet to analyse and determine
since doing so could be prejudicial. How-
ever, the authority will diligently consider
the transaction in respect of the criteria
established under the Competition Act,
Mr Kariuki said. Competition and public
interest are the key concerns for us when
we consider a merger.

nancing company.
Two weeks ago, Britam chaired
by Mr Francis Muthaura entered
into a sale agreement with Equity
Bank to acquire the banks 24 per cent
stake in Housing Finance.
The deal is valued at slightly over
Sh2 billion. With the three compa-
nies listed at the Nairobi Securities
Exchange, the rules of the game mean
that the Capital Markets Authority
must approve or veto the purchase.
Making the nal call
Paul, the son of Mr Muthaura
former Cabinet Secretary and
head of the Civil Service in Mr Mwai
Kibakis government will have the
task of making the nal call on the
deal. Mr Muthaura was appointed to
chair Britams board of directors in
November last year.
It is a very tricky and interesting
situation, both because of the relation-
ship between the parties involved and
the uniqueness of the transaction, an
analyst who declined to be quoted said
in a telephone interview.
However, it is the nature and timing
of the deal that has aroused interest
in how CMA will handle the approval
process.
The CMA boardroom is currently in
a power vacuum after four directors,
including chairman Kungu Gata-
baki, left at the end of May. The fact
that directors have not been appointed
to replace the retired ones, with the
institution yet to get a new chairman,
means the buck stops with the CEO,
Mr Paul Muthaura.
It is, however, the exit of Mr Gata-
baki that adds a twist to the intrigues.
Mr Gatabaki was not just CMA chair-
man, he was also the board chairman
of Housing Finance the subject of
the sale.
Mr Gatabaki was forced out of HF
in 2010 after Britam and Equity jointly
bought Commonwealth Development
Corporations 24.9 per cent stake in
Housing Finance, valued at Sh1.1 bil-
lion.
The deal was concluded in 2007,
but it was not until 2010 when the
two firms increased their stake in
HF to 37.31 per cent that they staged
a coup against Mr Gatabaki. He was
replaced by Equity Bank chairman
Peter Munga.
Mr Gatabaki would, however, nd
favour with then President Kibaki.
He was appointed the CMA chair-
man. Perhaps wounded by the vicious
boardroom battle, Mr Gatabaki would
lead a battle to enhanced corporate
governance. Some players said he
was out to settle scores with the peo-
ple who pushed him out through what
he reportedly felt was an irregular
process owing to weak regulation on
governance.
The HF deal, coming so quickly
after his exit, is raising eyebrows.
Also, while on paper Equity Bank and
Britam exist as dierent entities, in
reality the two are led by personalities

the industry.
Britam holds a 10 per cent stake in Eq-
uity Bank while Equity holds a 21.4 per
cent stake in the investment rm.
In an interview with Smart Company,
Mr Muthaura said the situation is inter-
esting but that the regulator has a clear
way of ensuring there is no conict of in-
terest in analysing and determining such
a transaction.
Yes he (Francis Muthaura) is my dad
but the authority has a clear way of deal-
ing with mergers or other transactions in
which there is perceived to be conict of
interest. I most likely will not be part of
the team that looks into that transaction,
Mr Paul Muthaura said.
It is unlikely that a new board or chair-
man will be appointed soon as the gov-
ernment moves to consolidate regulation
of the nancial sector according to rec-
ommendations of the Presidential Task
Force on Parastatal Reforms.
Umbrella regulator
The taskforce recommended the
creation of an umbrella nancial sector
regulator that brings under one body the
Insurance Regulatory Authority, CMA
and the Retirement Benets Authority.
Implementation of this recommendation
is what has held back the constitution of
a new board of the CMA.
But while Mr Muthaura might be left
out of the committee that looks into
the Equity-Britam-HF transaction, his
position as the ultimate decision maker
at the regulator will denitely inuence
the deal.
The transaction is central to Britams
agenda as it seeks to grow its footprint
in the real estate sector in a bid to di-
versify revenues. Its success would raise
Britams stake in HF to 46 per cent, giv-
ing it an opportunity to play a central role
in the real estate sector without having to
start from scratch.
Britam is going big on real estate.
They will need HF to help get their prop-
erty to the market through mortgages. On
the other hand, HF needs a good deal on
insurance of its mortgages. Equity Bank
is currently in search of funds to meet the
new banking capital requirements. It is a
win-win situation for all the three, Mr
Kuria Kamau of Kestrel Capital said.
Other regulators expected to approve
the deal are Central Bank and the Com-
petition Authority Kenya.
Mr Wangombe Kariuki, director gen-
eral of the Competition Authority of
Kenya, said his institution was yet to look
into the operations of the three rms. He
said he had not considered the proposed
transaction.
Let me not comment on an issue the
authority is yet to analyse and determine
since doing so could be prejudicial. How-
ever, the authority will diligently consider
the transaction in respect of the criteria
established under the Competition Act,
Mr Kariuki said. Competition and public
interest are the key concerns for us when
we consider a merger.

When Frank Ireri took over as
the managing director at the Housing
Finance, lenders in Kenya were grappling
with high levels of non-performing loans.
Fluctuating interest rates and high
ination, among other factors prevailing
at the time, made it hard for many rms
and individuals to service loans.
At some point, the levels of our non-
performing loans were as high as 85 per
cent, Mr Ireri recalls, adding that this
has since come down to less than 10 per
cent of the loan book.
He attributes the reduction to new
ways of resolving disputes. Banks re-
sorted to debt rescheduling, negotiated
settlement, partial discharges, among
others, instead of going to court every
time. This has seen about 180 cases
being settled amicably between January
2008 and June this year.
Bankers and borrowers need to talk
to each other. A dispute resolved is a
win-win for both parties. It attracts busi-
ness and leads to a satised customer,
says Ireri.
In the Banking Industry Mediation
Centre, which is in the pilot phase of
implementation by the Kenya Bankers
Association (KBA) and Strathmore Dis-
pute Resolution Centre (SDRC) hosted
by Strathmore Law School, Ireri sees an
alternative means of resolving disputes
with customers.
Besides saving time and money that
would have gone into settling disputes
through litigation, the parties will not
have to go through the anxiety of waiting
for their suits to be determined.
During the pilot phase that ends in
mid-September, the centre will provide
the banking public access to trained and
practising mediators.
KBA says six banks have so far signed
up for the pilot phase. These are Barclays
Bank, Equity Bank, Family Bank, Hous-
ing Finance and Gulf African Bank.
The centre is the brainchild of the
KBA following the enactment of the
Consumer Protection Act 2012 that ac-
knowledges the need for dispute resolu-
tion mechanisms.
For Ms Joy Mbaabu, a mediator on the
SDRC panel, the implementation of the
pilot project is the culmination of a long-
held dream that will benet the industry
greatly.
Paradigm shift
We started meeting over using media-
tion to resolve disputes about 12 years
ago. This paradigm shift is welcome.
The banking sector now has a real op-
portunity to see the benets of media-
tion. Business is about relationships and
sustainability, Ms Mbaabu says.
She adds that mediation takes much
less time compared to resolving disputes
in courts. What would typically take up
to ve years to resolve in court could take
only three hours through mediation, she
says.
The good thing about mediation is
that parties are in charge of the out-
come, while the mediator is in charge
of the process. For as long as the par-
ties are committed, genuine and sincere,
they will succeed in having the matter
settled, Ms Mbaabu says.
The Judiciary has praised the me-
diation initiative, noting that alternative
methods of resolving disputes, which are
increasingly gaining recognition globally
as a way of reducing backlog of cases in
court and ensuring speedy and aord-
able access to justice, is rmly anchored
in the Constitution of Kenya 2010.
As part of the ongoing implemen-
tation of Kenyas Constitution 2010,
signicant developments and changes
have taken place both in the Judiciary
and in the entire justice system, Dr. Ju-
lie Oseko of the Judiciary told a cocktail
to celebrate successful conclusion of the
rst case by the Business Industry Me-
diation Centre.
There is now a structure for carrying
out mediation within the Kenyan legal
and institutional framework.
Dr. Oseko said the pilot project will
support the Judiciarys goal of reducing
backlog of cases.
The Dean of Strathmore Law School
Dr. Luis Franceschi agrees that justice
does not necessarily mean going to
court, adding that mediation provides
a parallel avenue for resolving disputes
and saving relationships in business.
This pilot project for mediation and
conict resolution conrms that strong
collaborations between academia and in-
dustry can help solve existing challenges
while strengthening trust and building
good and lasting bank-client relations,
Dr Franceschi added.
KBA chief executive ocer of Habil
Olaka said the mediation process would
not infringe on the consumers constitu-
tional right to commence legal action in
court.
Considering the fact that it typically
takes ve years for banking-related cases
to be resolved in court, and legal fees can
be as high as Sh500,000 to Sh1 million,
both customers and banks would ap-
preciate the value of the complimentary
service that the Banking Industry Media-
tion Centre provides.
We sincerely thank the banks that
stepped up and oered their support
because they recognise the value of al-
ternative dispute resolution. We also are
pleased that the regulators, which are
particularly keen to promote consumer
protection within the nancial services
sector, namely Central Bank of Kenya
and Competition Authority of Kenya,
as well as other stakeholders including
Consumer Federation of Kenya, are on
board to guide the process, Olaka said.
With their involvement and feedback
from customers, we expect to provide
policy proposals that will enhance dis-
pute management and consumer protec-
tion within the nancial services sector.

Nzoia Sugar Company has paid all arrears owed to farmers
who had supplied sugarcane before the factory was shut for
annual maintenance.
The millers managing director Mr Saul Wasilwa said the
company used the Sh500 million given to the factory by the
government to settle the debts.
Payment to farmers is up to date and we praise the govern-
ment for bailing us out, he said after holding a consultative
meeting with farmers representatives from outgrower institu-
tions.
President Uhuru Kenyatta announced the bailout to clear
farmers arrears during his tour of Bungoma County last month.
Mr Wasilwa said the factory currently crushes an average of
2,700 tonness of sugarcane daily following completion of the
annual maintenance which cost Sh500 million.
We shall soon be crushing the optimum installed capacity of
3,000 tonnes per day, he said.
The Kenya National Sugarcane Growers Union, led by its sec-
retary general Mr Stephen Walupi, the Kenya Sugarcane Grow-
ers Association and Nzoia Outgrowers Union were among the
institutions represented at the meeting.
The chairman of the Nzoia Sugar board of directors, Mr Abiud
Wasike, led other directors and top management at the meet-
ing.
Mr Wasilwa said the company would prioritise payment to
farmers, who he said are the key stakeholders, when the har-
vesting of sugarcane in the outgrowers zone resumes.
Firm nancial base
He said the factory started focussing on sugarcane harvest-
ing in its nucleus since it resumed milling on May 12 to build
enough nancial reserves and avoid accumulating farmers ar-
rears.
We now have a rm nancial base and we shall be able
to pay farmers within the 30-day statutory period when we
resume milling, he said.
He said paying farmers on time would enable them to meet
their nancial obligations such as paying school fees for their
children.
Mr Wasilwa said details were being worked on an advance
payments scheme proposed by the government, which would
soon be rolled out. We are in consultation with institutions
that we will be partnering with to ensure the advance scheme
succeeds. We shall roll out the project once modalities are
complete, he said.
The managing director said farmers would be paid part of
their money upon delivery of sugarcane once the advance
scheme is in place.
Mr Walupi warned that farmers representatives would take
the miller to court if it failed to pay farmers within the stipu-
lated 30-day period.
He said farmers would also demand interest from the com-
pany for any extra days they are not paid after the expiry of the
30-day period.
We shall not just sit and wait for the millers to pay at their
convenience. We shall take legal action in case of any default,
said Mr Walupi.
He wondered why farmers, who are the main suppliers of raw
materials, are usually paid last after workers and other suppli-
ers have been paid. Priority should be farmers to ensure they
continue to produce the raw materials, he said.

Minority shareholders
of the Kenya Electricity Gen-
erating Company will have to
wait longer before taking up
additional shares as the gov-
ernment is yet to decide on its
contribution to the planned
rights issue.
The decision was sup-
posed to have been made in
June but discussions between
the Ministries of Energy
and Petroleum and National
Treasury over whether the
government will take up its
rights have taken longer than
anticipated, delaying the
process.
The government is the
largest shareholder at Ken-
Gen and that makes its
participation important.
It is a matter that is under
discussion and we have not
reached a decision yet, said
investment secretary Esther
Koimett in a telephone in-
terview.
The government holds a 70
per cent stake at KenGen.
This is the rst time that
KenGen is carrying out a
rights issue. The electricity
generator is targeting to raise
Sh30 billion with Sh15 billion
expected to come from the
government.
The firm intends to use
the cash to restructure its
balance sheet and maintain
a favourable debt-equity po-
sition.
Together with an antici-
pated credit of Sh70 billion
from external lenders, the
electricity generator hopes
to raise a total of Sh100 bil-
lion to nance a number of
projects lined up for comple-
tion in 2016.
KenGen is tasked with the
generation of 844 megawatts
as part of the governments
plan to add 5,000 megawatts
to the national grid in the
next 30 months.
KenGens managing direc-
tor Albert Mugo last week
said the company hopes to
get a commitment from the
government on the rights is-
sue by August.
Between now and August,
it is likely that we will have
got government approval of
what it will contribute to the
rights issue, which will then
enable us to start nalising
our information memoran-
dum for approval, said Mr
Mugo (below).
The discussion between
KenGen and the government
is said to have explored the
options of converting Ken-
Gens debt into equity or the
National Treasury injecting
fresh cash into the power
company.
At an investor meeting
held in March this year,
KenGen said that it owed the

KenGens nance and commercial direc-
tor John Mudany said it would take more
than a month for the power generator to
package the information memorandum
and acquire approval from the Capital
Markets Authority (CMA) to carry out
the rights issue.
All current shareholders are expected
to take up their rights. We have had dis-
cussions with the government and we
have received positive response from
them so far but we are yet to get a nal
commitment, he said in a telephone in-
terview. It will take more than a month
to do all the nancial reviews and get ap-
proval from the CMA.
Last December, KenGen sharehold-
ers gave a nod to the rights issue at the
companys annual general meeting that
was held in Nairobi. In the rights issue,
KenGen plans to issue up to 2.2 billion
shares to its existing shareholders.
The shareholders also approved the
creation of additional 7 billion ordinary
shares of Sh2.50 each which are expected
to raise its share capital from Sh5.5 bil-
lion to Sh25 billion. The additional share
capital is the rst tranche in the capital
raising project that will see the electricity
producer raise Sh467 billion to nance
new projects over the next four years,
both from equity and debt.

Problem solving is a critical ex-
ercise in leadership and manage-
ment. As a leader or manager,
you grapple with challenges and
look for solutions daily. Each
challenge is unique. It requires an
equally unique solution. How you
go about every new challenge is
critical.
Your success or failure starts
with how you dene the problem,
in the rst place. The quality of
the denition of the problem
will determine the quality of the
solutions you come up with. One
of the most futile approaches to
problem denition is looking for
someone or something to blame.
This approach is likely to alienate
people who would otherwise help
you in the search for solutions.
They may fear being blamed
now or in the future hence
their holding back from seeking
the solution with you.
Uniqueness of problem
The breakthrough thinking
approach has been found to
be very successful in solving
problems. This is a seven-step
approach to solution seeking. It
is not, however, a step-by-step
method. You could start almost
anywhere, provided that the
seven underlying principles are
covered. One of the principles in
the approach is recognition of
the uniqueness of each problem.
When confronted with a problem
you need to always remember
that, regardless of any apparent
similarities between this problem
and earlier ones, each problem
has its individual details. Solutions
are, therefore, most unlikely to be
a copy-and-paste aair, if they are
to be sustainable.
Purpose principle
The other principle is referred
to as the purpose principle. This is
when you focus on expanding on
the purposes of the task at hand,
in order to strip it o non-critical
aspects that could lead you to
working on the wrong things. You
avoid being derailed from the real
problem by non-critical side con-
siderations that could ultimately
be of no consequence.
You could also nd the solution
after the next helpful principle
that seeks to stimulate innovation
by working backwards from an
ideal target solution. You clearly
dene the ideal situation and then
start working towards that de-
sired state. This may be useful for
short-term solutions.
There is also the systems ap-
proach principle, where you may
start from the point that every
problem is a part of a larger sys-
tem of problems. Here, the solu-
tion to one problem could create
a new problem. You may need to
create a framework of elements
and dimensions that comprise a
solution to ensure it works with-
out creating new problems. You
anticipate any problems that your
chosen path could generate and
mitigate against them.
Limited information
There is the principle of limited
information collection, where you
appreciate data collection but
remain cognizant of the fact that
too much data may prevent the
discovery of some great alterna-
tive solutions. To address this, it
is useful to determine the pur-
pose for which the information is
intended. You are likely to esh
o unnecessary information with
ease.
There is then the people de-
sign principle that requires that
you intimately and continuously
involve those who will implement
the solutions. This is particularly
important for external persons
who may be working with you
towards a solution. This principle
encourages exibility during the
implementation stage. People feel
that they are at liberty to adjust
one or two things that may not
be working as envisaged. It frees
them from potential straitjackets
in the prescribed solutions.
Preserve vitality
Finally there is the improve-
ment with timeline principle
where you very well appreciate
that the only way to preserve
the vitality of the solution is to
build in a monitoring and evalu-
ation mechanism that is founded
on continual improvement. You
recognize that a solution once
found is not expected to remain
a lifetime way of doing things.
All good things are subject to
improvement, based on lessons
picked up along the way.
The combination of these
principles in problem solving can
go a long way towards deliver-
ing sustainable solutions to the
many problems that confront us
everyday.

director, Kenya Institute of Man-
agement.
MANAGEMENT BY DAVID MUTURI
Be ingenious when
solving everyday
problems at work

Success in business requires an
understanding of all sorts of intan-
gibles, especially the most enjoyable
parts of work, like cooperating as a
team and keeping morale high. Your
goal of making businesses more
protable by helping employees to
achieve their full potential is a great
one, and could be very rewarding. To
move ahead, you have some research
to do and choices to make.
Heres some data that might help: A
recent Gallup study found that world-
wide, only 13 per cent of employees
feel engaged at work.
The research also found that com-
panies in the top quartile for engaged
employees, compared with the bottom
quartile, had 22 per cent higher prot-
ability, 10 per cent higher customer
ratings and 48 per cent fewer safety
incidents.
How can companies increase en-
gagement? An insightful New York
Times article by Tony Schwartz and
Christine Porath included a survey
of more than 12,000 employees that
identied four drivers: physical (hav-
ing the opportunity to recharge); emo-
tional (feeling valued); mental (having
the ability to work autonomously);
and spiritual (feeling connected to a
higher purpose).
At Virgin, we address all these areas.
We give our people real autonomy, and
celebrate their achievements by iden-
tifying star contributors, highlighting
brand ambassadors in our internal
newsletters and hosting parties for
individual employees.
The newsletters and parties also
provide context and information
about why we do what we do, and
what were accomplishing. We en-
courage employees to take advantage
of exible work hours: They can opt
for alternative schedules, to work
from home, or to work from one of
our other oces.
We also foster physical activity
through initiatives like discounted
gym memberships and in Britain,
by using tax incentives to encourage
employees to bike to work. -To learn
whether what were doing is work-
ing, we listen to feedback from our
employees, which we gather through
ordinary conversations and through
satisfaction surveys. We also measure
success by referrals, since there is no
stronger endorsement than when an
employee tells a friend or relative that
a company is a great place to work.
How can you help other companies
to see that investing in human capi-
tal will positively aect their bottom
lines? First, lets acknowledge that it
can be dicult to convince people of
the eect of intangibles. Look at what
other rms in your area of interest are
doing (Virgin Pulse is a company with
a similar drive). What solutions are
they oering?
Once youve rened your oering,
youll need to focus on how best to get
your message across. One way might
be to make it personal: When you
pitch your idea to potential clients, of-
fer to distribute an employee satisfac-
tion survey - the client will usually be
surprised by the results.
But dont just tell them about data:
A powerful pitch is always more eec-
tive than a detailed PowerPoint pres-
entation. If you have stories to share
about how your work has resulted in
great employee feedback and refer-
rals, thats one great way of turning
intangibles into clear evidence. Your
goal should be to address what your
listeners really care about, rather than
just the bottom line, and then back up
that passion with a few hand-picked
hard numbers.
Above all, you need to believe in
your service and its potential to help
the companies youre pitching to.
Dont just look to capitalize on
whatever management buzzwords are
popular at the moment; your potential
clients will sense how supercial your
concern about the topic is. Instead,
focus on the areas you believe in, like
improving morale and achieving per-
sonal growth, because that will help
you to speak from the heart and win
clients over.
Success in business is all about peo-
ple, people, people. Whatever industry
a company is in, its employees are its
biggest competitive advantage. As
Virgin Pulse CEO Chris Boyce said
recently, Theyre the ones making
the magic happen -so long as their
needs are being met.
Remy, this is where you come in: to
help make the magic happen. I hope
you show them a trick or two. Good
luck!

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Q: After a decade of military service,
I am familiar with the importance of
intangibles like morale and personal
growth. In fact, I am developing a
consulting company that will focus
on developing these intangibles while
capitalizing on the growing trend of
corporate tness. The biggest chal-
lenge I face is trying to eectively
translate the intangible into the tangi-
ble in order to build a client base. How
do you measure intangibles in your
businesses? How might I help other
companies to see that investing in
their human capital will pay bottom-
line dividends?

Record tonne of ivory sold at France auction
An auction house in Cannes,
France, sold around 50 elephant
tusks, or one tonne of ivory, last
Saturday, breaking its previous
record in terms of volume.
The entire haul was acquired
by buyers from China, the
worlds biggest ivory market.
In terms of volume, this is
a new record for us, said Alex-
andre Debussy, the director of
Cannes Encheres, which facili-
tated the sale.
Our previous record in the
spring was 920 pounds (420
kilogrammes), he added.
However, the 480,000 euros
($650,000) raised from the auc-
tion was lower than usual, due to
a 30 per cent drop in the price of
ivory in recent months.
A previous sale of a smaller
volume raised 625,000 euros.
The fall in price is due to un-
certainties in the ivory trade, no-
tably Chinese buyers diculty
in obtaining export licenses from
the European authorities.
Tonnes of ivory are languish-
ing in French peoples attics, and
we get requests all the time for it
to be shifted, Debussy said.
The easing of export rules
would help the fight against
poaching and save thousands
of elephants, according to De-
bussy.
Earlier this year, the French
government destroyed three
tonnes of illegal ivory in a public
event. (AFP)

JAVIER MASCHERANO
A
wo r l d
c l a s s
Mario Goetze volley in extra
time red Germany to a fourth
World Cup crown with a 1-0 victory
over Argentina on Sunday, leaving
the South Americans and their cap-
tain Lionel Messi heartbroken.
The thunderous clash between
Germany, Brazils 7-1 semi-nal con-
querors, and their bitter rivals had
seemed headed for penalties until
Andre Schuerrle escaped down the left
after 113 minutes and sent in a cross
that substitute Goetze controlled on his
chest before slamming past goalkeeper
Sergio Romero.
The magical strike meant Germany
became the only European team to win
the World Cup in the Americas, and left
the superlative Messi without the title he so
craved to crown his glittering career.
All of Germany is world champion now,
the winners immense goalkeeper Manuel
Neuer said. Were going to celebrate for at
least ve weeks now. At some point well stop
celebrating but well always keep waking up
with a smile.
Richly deserved smile
It will be a richly deserved smile. As much
as all of Argentina hankered for a triumph on
Brazilian soil, Germany were worth their win
over a subdued Messi and his team mates who
counter-attacked dangerously but lacked their
opponents more uid passing moves.
Messis poor nal was summed up with vir-
tually the last kick of the game when he had a
chance to score a sensational equaliser with a
free-kick 30 metres out.
The worlds best player never troubled the
worlds best goalkeeper, however, blasting his
eort high and wide and seconds later Ger-
many were champions and Argentina were
crushed.
We gave it all, all our bodies could endure,
Argentina midelder Javier Mascherano
said.
The pain is immense because we
wanted to take the cup back to Argen-
tina. The pain will last forever.
Germanys prepa-
rations had
b e e n
rocked
be f or e
ki c kof f
when midelder
Sami Khedira,
one of the
t o u r n a -
ments best
p l a y e r s ,
pulled a calf
muscle in the warm-up.
He was replaced in the starting lineup by
Christoph Kramer, who had only made two
brief substitute appearances earlier.
But Kramer only lasted 32 minutes, going o
after a collision with Ezequiel Garays shoulder
which left him looking dazed, and Germany
had to rejig their side again.
Attacking midelder
Coach Joachim Loew brought Schuerrle on
in an attacking mideld role with Mesut Ozil
dropping back into a more defensive, central
position. Despite the upheavals Germany ended
the half with 65 percent possession and came
close to seeing that domination pay o when
Benedikt Hoewedes headed powerfully against
a post just before the interval, although a lines-
mans ag was up for oside.
Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain should
have done far better before that, though, when
he was gifted a chance in the 20th minute fol-
lowing a careless header towards his own goal
by Germany midelder Toni Kroos.
The loose ball went straight to Higuain but,
with only keeper Neuer to beat, he dragged his
shot embarrassingly wide. (Reuters)

JUNE 12 - JULY 13
D
C
A
- Abysmal Asia.
The continents four teams
failed to grab a win in Bra-
zil, the rst time Asia has gone
without a victory at a World Cup
since 1990 when United Arab Emir-
ates and South Korea each lost all
three group games. Australia,
Korea, Japan and Iran managed
only three draws between them
and all finished bottom of their
respective groups.
B
- Bite.
Uruguay forward Luis Suarez was
slapped with a World Cup record
four-month ban from football and sus-
pended for nine international matches
after sinking his teeth into the shoulder
of Italys Giorgio Chiellini. Suarez initially
denied the bite before backtracking and
apologising after Fifas punishment. The
fallout made it one of the most talked-
about incidents in Brazil, with everyone
from pundits to presidents oering their
opinion.
C
- Cash.
Ghanas players wanted their appearance fees
for playing in the World Cup right away, so
President John Mahama ew millions of dollars to
Brasilia in order to appease the squad hours before
their make-or-break clash with Portugal. Pictured
kissing the stacks of cash upon its arrival, Ghanas
players lost to the Portuguese and exited at the
group stage.
E
- Embarrass-
ment.
A World Cup
record defeat, a first
loss in a competi-
tive home match in
39 years, it was not
meant to end like this
for pre-tournament
favourites Brazil. The
7-1 semi-nal mauling
suered in Belo Hori-
zonte at the hands of
Germany plunged a
nation into mourning
and quickly led to calls
for an overhaul of the
domestic game.
D
- Dilma.
The on-eld action in Brazil was amongst
the best ever but the problems surround-
ing the organisation of the tournament were
not forgotten. Brazil President Dilma Rousse,
along with Fifa boss Sepp Blatter, were routinely
booed when shown in the crowd at matches,
with many Brazilians angered by their govern-
ments extravagant World Cup spending of more
than $11 billion at a time when the countrys
economy is sagging and public services are in
dire need of investment.
F
- Fans.
The empty stadiums of the
South African World Cup four
years ago were never going to be
repeated with fans ocking from all
over the world to watch the action
in Brazil. The majority seemed to
come from Argentina, Chile and
Colombia. Brazilians also turned
out en masse to grab a glimpse of
any of the 32 competitors making
the 2014 tournament the second
most popular in history based on
average attendances.
H
- Hands of Howard.
United States goalkeeper Tim Howard made
a World Cup record 16 saves in their last-16
clash with Belgium. It was not enough, though, as
the Belgians prevailed 2-1 in extra time.
I
- Invasions.
Fans managed to escape se-
curity and run onto the pitch
in the group match between Ger-
many and Ghana and the last-16
clash involving the United States
and Belgium, while an estimated
200 Chilean fans burst into the
media centre at the Maracana
Stadium before their teams
victory over Spain.
J
- James Rodriguez.
The baby-faced Co-
lombian attacker made
himself a household name all
over the world after his bril-
liant displays and six goals in
their run to a rst quarter-nal
appearance. A mazy run and
dinked eort against Japan
was bettered by a sensational
chest, swivel and volley from
25 metres in the last-16 win
over Uruguay.
K
- Klose.
The ageing Miroslav Klose scored
his 16th World Cup goal to surpass
former Brazil striker Ronaldos record of 15.
The German striker, who drew level with
Ronaldo with an eort against Ghana in
group play, took the record by scoring the
second in the 7-1 thrashing of Brazil in the
semi-nal.
L
- Lotto
The relatively small Italian kit maker
managed to muscle out some of the
major brands in Brazil thanks to Costa Ricas
unlikely run to a rst quarter-nal. Sales of
the Ticos shirt rose twenty-fold after they
topped Group D by beating Uruguay and
Italy and then edging Greece on penalties
in the last 16.

G
- Goals, goals and goals.
The group stages were full of
them. The knockout stages less
so but still the attacking mindset of the
32 teams resulted in 168 goals. Three
short of the record 171 scored in France
in 1998, nonetheless.
M
- Memes.
Social media and the World Cup were as intertwined
like never before. After Arjen Robbens theatrics led to
a late penalty against Mexico in the round of 16, fans posted
various memes of the Dutch winger lifting an Oscar for Best
Actor, competing in Olympic diving, and plunging arms-ailing
o the clis of Acapulco. Uruguay striker Suarez also received
the same treatment after his bite, with pictures posted depict-
ing him wearing a dog-cone round his neck, a Dracula outt,
or a Hannibal Lecter mask.
N
- Neymar.
It was all going so
well for the Brazilian
number 10 who delivered
four goals in four games
under the huge weight of
expectation from a nation
demanding a sixth World
Cup win and rst on home
soil at their second attempt.
But his tournament ended at
the last-eight stage when he
suered a cracked vertebra
following a heavy challenge
against the Colombians.
P
- Penalties
A record-
equal l i ng
four matches were
settled by penalties
in Brazil with Costa
Rican enjoying the
ecstasy of winning
a shootout against
Greece to make a
rst quarter-nal only to lose to the Dutch the same way.
Keylor Navas was arguably the goalkeeper of the tournament
for Costa Rica but he could not match the two saves by Dutch
shootout specialist Tim Krul, who came on specically for the
spot kicks as the Europeans advanced.
Q
- Queen kiss.
Mario Balotelli, whose
goal helped Italy beat
England, said he would aid out
his beaten foe by delivering a
victory against Costa Rica in
their next match. All the striker
wanted in a return was a kiss
from the British monarch for
his eorts. Unfortunately, the
former Manchester City striker
failed to keep up his end of the
bargain as Italy lost the match
and England were eliminated.
R
- Recife rain
Torrential rain in the north-eastern Brazil-
ian city led to talk of the Group G decider
between the US and Germany being postponed.
Long tailbacks were seen on roads leading to the
Pernambuco arena on the outskirts of the city with
fans wading through waist-deep water to watch
the game which Germany won.
S
- Spain.
They arrived in Bra-
zil with ambitions
of successfully defending
the title they won four
years ago and winning a
fourth consecutive major
championship but exited
the World Cup embar-
rassingly early following a
5-1 defeat by the Dutch and
a 2-0 loss to Chile in their
opening matches.
T

ogy.

U
- Under arrest.
A Rio court approved the detention
of a chief executive of a Swiss hospi-
tality company and 10 other suspects, who
are believed to have run a scalping ring
for World Cup tickets originally allocated
to soccer federations and other VIPs. Ray
Whelan, of MATCH Services, was briey ar-
rested but released pending a court order.
MATCH, which has denied any wrongdoing,
is the main provider of hospitality packages
for the World Cup and paid $240 million
for the exclusive rights to sell corporate
hospitality at the 2010 World Cup and the
just-concluded one.
V

Another World

zil: Referees have been
reaching for their can-
ister to spray the white
foam on the ground
around the ball at a
free kick and also 10

Searing

midday kick-offs
caused players to
wilt in the heat
and Fifa approv-
ing the rst water
break. It came after
30 minutes in the
Netherlands 2-1

in the last 16 in
Fortaleza.
X
- Xherdan Shaqiri.
Dubbed the Alpine
Messi in some
quarters, the Swiss mid-
elder scored a hat trick
in the Group E win over
Honduras. It was the 50th
treble in World Cup his-
tory and the second of the
tournament after Thomas
Muellers trio for Germany
in their 4-0 opening win
over Portugal.
Y
- Yuichi Nishimura.
The Japanese referee
was at the centre of the
rst ociating controversy
of the tournament when he
awarded hosts Brazil a pen-
alty in their Group A clash
with Croatia. The match
was level at 1-1 when Fred
hit the turf theatrically with
Nishimura pointing straight to
the spot and leaving Croatia
coach Nico Kovac fuming.

C o l o m b i a n

scribed the incident as disgusting
and decried the lack of discipline by
his players who were anything but
indomitable. Charles Nyende
When Luis Suarez needlessly sunk
his teeth into Giorgio Chielinis
shoulder with his team Uruguay
were on course for victory. I doubt
whether Fifas four-month ban will
tame his appetite for the opponents
esh wherever his career takes him.
James Onyango
That time during the tournament
opener between Brazil and Croatia
when the Japanese referee awarded
Brazil a contentious penalty. It did
look like there would be deliberate
attempts by ocials to help the host
country stay in the tournament for as
long as possible. Celestine Olilo
Elimination of the last African
representative Algeria by Germany,
especially because of the slim 1-2
loss that sent them packing from the
round of 16. The North Africans had
managed to contain the Germans in
90 minutes only for Andre Schurrle
and Mesut Ozil to strike in extra time
to earn the Europeans a 2-1 win in
Porto Alegre. Mmbolo Bulemi.
HIGHLIGHT
The revelation of the 19-year-old
Belgian forward Divock Origi. The
youngster whose father, Mike
Okoth, played for Kenya took the
World Cup by storm. With Harambee
Stars languishing, Origi made Ken-
yans proud and, barring injury, his
future is bright. A gifted kid. Allan
Buluku
The penalty shoot-outs. Begin-
ning with the last 16 xtures, many
matches were decided on penalties.
That shows the teams that pro-
gressed from the groups deserved
to advance. A sign of the narrowing
gap in terms of quality of teams.
James Onyango
The tournament once again lived
up to its billing as the greatest sport-
ing event in the world from record
television viewership, attendance and
social media following to unpredict-
ability of many of the outcomes and
the many ne battles witnessed. I
almost wish it were held every year,
but I guess a x every four years is
a safer prospect. I cannot wait for
Russia 2018. Charles Nyende
The fateful night for Brazil at Bel
Horizonte when just 29 minutes
into their game against Germany
they were trailing by ve goals. That
was unbelievable. It was a powerful
sight when the nal whistle blew
with the score standing at 7-1 and
the fans in their swirling yellow tops
wailing uncontrollably in the stands.
That was my World Cup highlight. I
doubt anyonewho witnessed that will
ever forget the sensational pictures.
Celestine Olilo
Two words. Costa Rica. Lesson
learnt? Any team has a chance in a
football contest if the players prepare
well and stay focused and disciplined.
David Kwalimwa
The well-oiled German team run-
ning berserk against Brazil in the
semi-nals. A 7-1 drubbing it was.
Yes, that huge score line sent shock
waves across the football world.
Isaac Swila
It has to be the heartrending scenes
of sobbing Brazilian players and fans
after that German massacre. You just
had to feel them. The football world
will not forget these scenes for a very
long time. Stephen Omondi
A
n enthralling World Cup came
to an end on Sunday with
Germany winning the title.
And after many late, late nights,
members of the Nation Sport Desk
have still managed to squeeze a few
more minutes and retired to their little
corners to give their thoughts on the
unforgettable tournament.
BEST GOAL
I will go for Robin van Persies
diving header against Spain in their
Group opener. If some goals are manu-
factured in Heaven, then the Flying
Dutchmans goal had Gods blessings.
A lethal nisher, RVP beat the oside
trap to launch himself in the air. His
looping header caught the fading Iker
Casillas unawares and dipped below
the crossbar for a breathtaking goal.
Exceptional. Allan Buluku
I will have to settle for a Brazilian
goal. Not any of the seven con-
ceded in their nightmarish loss to
Germany but David Luizs free kick
from almost 40 metres out. The
technique, the art and the panache
of striking a dead ball that gathers
pace as it advances on its true path;
just exquisite. Charles Nyende
I will go for Wesley Sneijders
equalising strike for the Dutch in their
second round clash with Mexico. What
a sweet strike it was, to keep his team
alive! David Kwalimwa
I am torn between Robin van Per-
sies ying header that jump-started
Oranjes stunning turnaround against
deposed world champions Spain and
Tim Cahills sumptuous volley against
the Netherlands. In both cases, the two
strikers executed very dicult football
techniques. Stephen Omondi
Colombian James Rodriguezs goal
against Uruguay was the best. The
chest-control, the turn and then the
perfect left foot volley high into the net
made it an unforgettable strike from
the youngster. Mmbolo Bulemi
BEST TEAM
Germany. They have been ruthlessly
ecient in all departments and ex-
posed Brazils nakedness before the
home crowd. Each member of the
team carried his weight, advancing
to the nal without losing a match.
They were deserving champions.
James Onyango
The Netherlands. They have been
consistent in performance. I am
sure they will also be hugely disap-
pointed with a third-place nish. They
deserved to go all the way. Celles-
tine Olilo
I go for Germany. This team has
been the most impressive, coming
through all challenges unscathed.
Try to figure out how Joachim
Loews charges work out as a com-
plete team; it is almost impossible to
point out their best player. David
Kwalimwa
No single team really took the tour-
nament by storm but the Germans
for their balance, eciency and
ruthlessness were a cut above the
rest. Steven Omondi
BEST PLAYER
Before the tournament, the whole
of Colombia fasted and prayed for
their injured striker Radamel Falcao,
a national hero. But when the gods
of football conspired to keep him
out of the South American party,
the young but hugely talented James
(pronounced Hames) Rodriguez
shouldered the responsibilities. And
after just two games, he had made
Colombia forget Falcao. Against
Brazil in the quarter-nals, he easily
won the battle of the No.10s as
Neymar struggled to beat the
tight Colombian defence.
Allan Buluku
Arjen Robben. Which
other player at the
World Cup could
put in such bursts
of speed that left
many a
d e f e n d e r
panting in his
wake? He was so
disruptive to the
defences he faced
that the Dutch were always one-up
with him in the starting line-up. I give
him Golden Player of the Tournament
award. Charles Nyende
Who else if not the magical Lionel
Messi? From shouldering the expec-
tation of 40 million football-mad
Argentines on his young shoulders,
the dribbling wizard has displayed
his artistry once again. His ability to
fall back to the number 10 role and
orchestrate attacks was out of this
world. Isaac Swila
I go for Mexican goalkeeper Fran-
cisco Guillermo Ochoa. The way
he stood firm between the sticks,
repelling the opponents ever so deter-
minedly, forcing everyone to sit up and
take notice of Mexico, was thoroughly
impressive. Celestine Olilo
Even at 36, German striker Miroslav
Klose still managed to score in Brazil,
going ahead to become the all-time top
scorer in the World Cup. Mmbolo
Bulemi
CONTROVERSIAL MOMENT
When Colombias goal against Bra-
zil in the quarter-nal was disallowed
midway through the second half as the
hosts were leading 1-0. The referee
harshly judged Colombia captain
Mario Yepes oside. That was rob-
bery. Allan Buluku

after he resorted to that action when
his side was already trailing 1-0! And,
come to think of it, someone in Asia
had earlier predicted that a Cameroon
player would be sent o at this World
Cup. David Kwalimwa
It has to be that moment when Uru-
guays cannibal Luiz Suarez sunk his
teeth into the shoulder of Italian de-
fender Giorgio Chiellini in their group
stage match. The storm it raised on
and o the pitch will be narrated for
many years. Isaac Swila
I thought Pepe was nuts when
he needlessly shoved his head into

BRAZIL 1 GERMANY 7.
THAT SEMI-FINAL
Brazil entered the semi-
nal against Germany as
joint title favourites but ex-
ited in pitiful fashion, losing
7-1 in one of the most in-
credible matches seen in the
tournaments long history.

We witnessed a collec-
tive implosion of Brazil. A
total collapse of their team
tonight. I dont know what
the lads from Brazil were
carrying on their shoul-
ders. They werent able to
come to terms with that. In
these pictures you keep see-
ing them crying, before
the match or after the
match. This team
didnt have enough
experience to come
to terms with the
pressure of a big
tournament like
this in their own
country. They fell
apart emotionally

A
fter the 1998 World Cup
in which Brazil nished
runners-up to France, the
Brazilian Congress held a
series of investigations into
the poor state of the nations football.
In one sitting, congressmen asked
their talismanic striker, Ronaldo, why
Brazil were only second best. Ronaldo
replied that there were many truths to
it and he would give the legislators my
truth and that he hoped it would please
them. But whether that was the true
truth, it was up to them to decide, he
added.
Since Brazil nished runners-up to
Uruguay in 1950, that position has
been regarded as failure in the worlds
spiritual home of football. Nothing other
than Number One will do. But now, after
the massacre of July 8, another chapter
in their book of infamy has been opened.
If 1950 has been ingrained in the nations
psyche until now, the memory of the
catastrophe of Mineirao is certain to
outlive every living Brazilian, including
those born on that day, and their millions
of fans around the world.
It is a cinch that Congress will hold
another inquiry and a ood of truths
will come forth. But regardless of the
conclusions, the true truth may never
be known. It is probably beyond being
known. Inquisitors may not even un-
derstand what they are investigating
because it is beyond belief. How would
they, for example, come to terms with
the fact that Brazil is the nation that has
conceded the most goals during its own
World Cup? It must be a mistake; how
can that be?
In its worst football disaster in 100
years, Brazil, the land of a people with
one of the richest cultural lives in the
world and where the music plays non-
stop, inspired poetic prose from the
disbelieving sports writers who witnessed
the impossible.
Removed the crown
It was the night Germany removed
the crown from football royalty, wrote
the Guardian. They did so with their
version of the beautiful game and, by the
time they had nished, Brazil had suf-
fered an ignominy that was so extreme
and implausible it felt as though a black
marker pen had been taken to the pages
of their football history.
No team in that famous shirt has ever
suered in the way Luiz Felipe Scolaris
did during a brutal rst half in which
Germany scored ve times in 19 minutes
and played as though their opponents
might as well have been invited from the
beach. Brazil had not lost a competitive
match at home since 1975 but they were
not just removed from their own World
Cup. This was not a team losing. It was
a dream dying.
And as if to conrm that this nightmare
was for real, the Netherlands handed Bra-
zil a 3-0 thrashing on Saturday night.
That made it 10 goals against and one
for in only two matches semi-nals
and third-place play-os at that. Was
any further evidence needed that world
football had entered completely unchar-
tered territory?
Because of who Brazil is, nobody in
the world could ever see this coming.
Yet there were glaring warnings from
day one. The Brazil that we have been
seeing in this World Cup is not the Bra-
zil the world has seen over the decades.
Remove Neymar as it so unfortunately
happened in the quarter-nal against Co-
lombia and kit them in colours other
than their famous yellow and what do
you see?
Is that Brazil? No, it isnt. It is dif-
cult to remember another Brazil side
that relied so heavily on physical strength
and aggression as opposed to skill and
tactical nesse as this one. Neymar, deft
with both feet, courageous in running at
defenders and weaving his way around
them, prodigious with set pieces and
possessed of an instinctive sense of
positioning, was one of only two Brazil-
ian players who could t in the teams of
their legendary predecessors, the men
who won ve World Cups. The other one
was goalkeeper Julio Cesar.
A lot was made of the absence of cap-
tain Thiago Silva in the game against
Germany. I am sure he would have made
little or no dierence. The result of the
game with the Netherlands said it all.
The technical, tactical and even physi-
cal superiority of Germany was simply
overwhelming for Brazil. What is more,
even if they had Toni Kroos and Thomas
Mueller, what we all saw was Germany
unlike Brazil, when we could only look
out for Neymar, and when he was gone,
the team was gone.
It has to be said that Brazil were
egregiously rough on Colombias James
Rodriguez and that Colombia, totally
unjustiable as Juan Zunigas attack on
Neymar (for that is what it really was),
was payment in kind. This is not Brazils
kind of play and never should be.
The cluelessness of the players of the
great Samba team was sometimes breath-
taking. The attack was so blunt as to elicit
despair. It is true that every Brazilian
World Cup-winning side has had a high
scoring forward Pele in 1958, Garrin-
cha in 1962, Jairzinho in 1970, Romario
in 1994 and Ronaldo in 2002.
This lends credence to the theory that
without Neymar, who accounted for half
of his teams goals, Brazil were a goner.
Maybe, but it is also true that those
goal getters were surrounded by class
players, including defenders who scored
spectacular goals. (Who will ever forget
right-back Carlos Albertos 30-yard pile
driver against Italy in the 1970 nal?)
We cannot say the same of the pedes-
trian lot of 2014. When you are a forward
who goes for games on end without scor-
ing a goal or even coming close, as Fred
and Hulk did, then your team and your
country are in trouble. And when your
defence starts to leak like a sieve, then
ignominious history is being written.
Sometimes, wrote Michael Cox of
the Guardian, huge thrashings paint an
articial picture of a teams dominance
there might be a couple of fortunate
goals, a few counter-attacks when the
defeated side push forward late on, or a
red card which signicantly altered the
balance of play.
No excuses
On Tuesday night, there was noth-
ing to mitigate this Brazilian capitulation
no caveats, no excuses, no disclaimers.
Score lines of 7-1 happen so infrequently
in modern football that its dicult to nd
any comparisons, but if there was ever a
true 7-1, this was it. This will become
one of the most famous thrashings in the
history of football, partly because of the
unprecedented nature of the score line at
such a stage of the World Cup, but also
because the result entirely reected the
gulf in class between the sides.
The South American country has been

sure they know this
all too well, they must
not attempt to host the
World Cup in the next
100 years. They must
wait until 1950 and 2014
are wiped out from liv-
ing memory. They may
not be able to survive the
next disaster if they host another
World Cup too soon.
* * *
Having dispensed all that
unsolicited advice to the
football country of my
love, I cannot sign
off the World Cup
adventure without
a word for my fel-
low Africans.
It has been a bad
one, hasnt it? At least
for us Kenyans, we
enjoyed a great
run, the first
one in our sad
history, when
Divock Origi,
one of our
own, lit up
the world stage.
Like Victor Wanyama before him, we
are going to closely follow his exploits in
Europe, almost certainly in the English
Premiership.
As to whether Harambee Stars, the true
Kenya, will ever line up with the worlds
best, that remains the great unknown.
I wish we have heard the last of African
bonus money problems. Even if we thought
shaming ourselves repeatedly before the
world doesnt amount to anything, we can
still remember that too much of some-
thing always tends to become poisonous.
Cameroon, Ghana and Nigeria must get
their act together. And so must the federa-
tions of all other countries that think and
behave like them. We need to concentrate
on football on the pitch.
Heaven forbid that we will ever hear
again of cash being loaded into aeroplanes
to placate striking players. All these should
be settled in advance. And, preferably, even
if Kwasi Appiah tells the world that Ghana-
ian players always prefer their dues paid in
cash, it would be much better if they read
a message on their mobile phones saying
something like: Transaction conrmed.
You have received 50,000 cedis from His
Excellency President John Dramani Ma-
hama of State House, Accra. Your M-Pesa
balance is now 50,001 cedis.
But, better still, the president should
just keep out of this business.
Brazils current star goal
scorer Neymar is shown
against a backdrop of
shell-shocked Brazilian
fans during the World
Cup that ended on Sun-
day. The hosts produced
an unexpectedly dismal
performance.
awash with tears since that regicidal
performance by Germany. And millions
of people around the world, fans of the
beautiful game, are heartbroken. The
nation will go through an extremely dif-
cult period trying to nd its bearings and
having the courage lift its head again. It
must be feeling like a boxer who is being
helped back to his feet after suering a
punch that he never saw coming.
Expected the unthinkable
Twice, I vaguely wondered whether
the unthinkable would unfold before my
eyes and footballs rules rewritten as the
entire planet watched. Would Brazil make
it back to the pitch after going into the
dressing room trailing 5-0? The second
was whether they would ac-
tually master
the courage
to show up
for the
third-place
play-off. I
was sure the
only place the
players wanted to
be was the sanctuary
of family. Mercifully, they
went through their ordeal to
the end.
Once Pele wailed: Brazil, oh my
beloved
B r a z i l ,
you have only
given us a reason
to cry.
That was somewhere
in between the 24-year
hiatus between 1970 and
1994. I wonder how he is
feeling now.
But Brazil will, of course,
return. They have too much
strength in depth. They are
still the nation that has won
the World Cup the most times
and that record wasnt going to
be broken or even equalled in the
latest nal.
Two things they will need to do for
a sixth crown one depends on their
great heritage and the other is in their
hands already. In the rst case, they
will need the hand of providence to pro-
duce other Peles, Garinchas, Jairzinhos,
Zicos, Romarios and Rivaldos. Neymar
alone is not enough. In all likelihood,
they will, if they are not doing that
already during these extremely straight-
ened circumstances. When that time
comes, they should not forget to let
those players play like Brazil not
like the Europeans.
In the second case, and I am
