A Kenyan woman in the United
States has tied the knot with her
American lover in a same-sex mar-
riage. Manuella Mumbi, alias Manuelle
Royale exchanged vows with Lisa
Webb Clay in a low-key gay wedding
in the US.
Born and raised in Kahawa, Kiambu
County, Mumbi is one of the few Ken-
yan women who have publicly revealed
they are lesbian. She is reported to be
a businesswoman who relocated to the
US to live with her better half before
their wedding.
Lisa Webb Clay is an American
model who hails from Texas. She
reportedly invited Mumbi to the US
to formalise their engagement. Same
sex marriage is illegal in Kenya but
not in the US.
No witnesses were present at the
ceremony held last Saturday, except for
the cleric who officiated their union.
After the marriage, Mumbi took to her
Facebook and posted the pictures cap-
tioning them with a sweet message to
her new partner. “Unto us a day was
given. Been a journey of love. Yes I do
love you now and forever.”
The marriage took place at the local
county offices that issued them with a
marriage certificate. Under Texas law,
persons authorised to perform wed-
dings include licensed or ordained
Christian ministers or priests, Jewish
rabbis, and an officer of a religious
organisation who is authorised by the
same organisation to do so.

Tears of joy as two pilots captured by South Sudan rebels back home
BY KENNEDY KIMANTHI
January 7, 2018 was a normal
working day for Captain Frank
Njoroge and co-pilot Kennedy
Shamalla.
But moments during take-off
at the Akobo rebel controlled
region in South Sudan, their
plane was reported to have
experienced a technical hitch
and it crash landed, killing one
person and 11 cows.
The pilots who were on a
humanitarian mission suffered
injuries in the accident.
Also on board the aircraft
were nine other passengers of
different nationalities who ex-
ited safely from the plane which
was extensively damaged.
What followed was six weeks
of harrowing experience after
they were captured and de-
tained by Akobo local authorities
under the control of the Sudan
People’s Liberation Army-In
Opposition (SPLA-IO).
The two were released after

On her part, Mrs Njoroge also
thanked the Kenyan government
for their intervention.

the pilots appeared traumatised
but were in stable condition.
But CS Juma did not mince
her words on the unfortunate

Ms Kemunto confessed that she es-

Jennifer, the woman captured on CCTV
cameras walking out of the hospital
with the baby in her arms.
“I had gone to the hospital for a
check-up because I developed com-
plications after giving birth to my
baby, who died in February last year,”
Ms Kemunto said.
The greengrocer from Kigawi in Ker-

T
he woman suspected of stealing
a baby from Kenyatta National
Hospital on Sunday planned to
sell the infant for Sh7,000.
In an exclusive interview with the
Nation yesterday, 29-year-old Edinah
Kemunto, who had initially given her
name as Faith Kwamboka, said she
already had a customer, whom she
only named as Jennifer.
She said she was handed the baby
by a cousin of the infant’s father at
the hospital but was later “tricked”
by Jennifer to escape with the baby
to the Kawangware neighbourhood
of Nairobi.
Jennifer, she added, is her friend.
Her confession opened the lid on
a secretive, well-oiled baby-trading
underworld coordinated from the
corridors of Kenya’s maternity wards.
Many parents have lost their newborns
this way and, often, the suspects are
never apprehended.
This theft, curiously, also happened
right under the collective nose of
Kenyatta National Hospital’s recently
beefed-up security, which faced pub-
lic fury last month over allegations of
sexual harassment of mothers within
the facility.
The boy was stolen as his parents
were being attended to by doctors. Her
twin sister remained at the hospital,
and on Monday the father confided
to us that he had kept his wife in the
dark over the matter as he feared the
oka, Kisii County, said she handed the
baby to Jennifer outside the hospital,
and that, from there, they headed to
Jennifer’s house in the Kongo area of
Kawangware.
“After I returned to my house, I re-
alised that I had made a mistake and
went back to Jennifer’s house to try and
convince her that we should return the
baby,” she told the Nation. “I told her
that, even though we had agreed that
she would pay me, I was not happy
with what we had done.”
On Monday, Ms Kemunto asked Jen-
nifer to let her take the baby back to
KNH yesterday morning as the infant
had been surviving on infant formula,
she said.
“But this (Tuesday) morning, as I
was washing the baby, police came to
my house and arrested me. I have tried
calling Jennifer several times but her
phone is off,” Ms Kemunto said.
Police from Kilimani Police Sta-
tion, led by the Divisional Criminal
Investigations Officer Phyllis Kanina,
arrested Kemunto at her house and
took her to the police station, where
she was last evening being processed
for arraignment.
Ms Kanina said police received a tip-
off from a caller from Kawangware who
said he had spotted the baby at the
woman’s house. “We mobilised police
officers and moved to the house, where
we found her. The baby was sleeping
on the couch,” Ms Kanina said.
Baby theft suspect Edinah Kemunto is escorted out of her Kawangware home yester-
day. She later lied to police officers that her name was Faith Kwamboka.
At the hospital, the baby’s parents,
Mr Job Ouko and Ms Jane Kerubo, were
elated after their baby was found.
“I had just finished an interview with
a local TV station when a woman called
me saying she had seen the interview
and wanted to confidentially alert me
of a neighbour who had recently re-
turned home with a baby in suspicious
circumstances,” said Mr Ouko.
Mr Ouko said after the call he was
escorted by a friend to Kawangware

BY BARACK ODUOR fied the election leading to a protracted war for
boduor@ke.nationmedia.com of his rival Cyprian votes in the lakeside town.

M
r Cyprian Awiti was last
evening fighting to hang on
as Homa Bay governor, hours
after his election victory was nullified
by the High Court.
As supporters of his challenger Oyugi
Magwanga poured into the streets to
celebrate the ruling, Mr Awiti’s lawyers
were rushing to craft notices to appeal
the decision.
His lawyer, Emmanuel Awiti, said
after the ruling that the governor will
remain in office as long as the notice to
appeal has been served and throughout
the hearing of the appeal.
“The governor is in office and cannot
be affected by the court ruling until
our appeal has been heard and deter-
mined,” he said, after Justice Joseph
Karanja sitting in Homa Bay found
that the Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission had failed
to conduct a free and fair election last
August in which Mr Awiti was declared
the winner.
The judge noted that there were two
sets of results presented to the court by
Mr Magwanga and the commission.
“There were two sets of electoral
forms originating from the IEBC, which
failed to point out to the court those
having authentic results,” the judge
said. The court had earlier ordered
scrutiny of all ballot papers used in
the gubernatorial contest.
The judge said forms 37As from the
commission had significant errors,
which had raised questions about the
veracity of the declared results.
“The IEBC failed to prove to the
court that Mr Magwanga’s documents
presented to court had been forged,”
said Judge Karanja, adding that the
commission had blundered and failed
in its mandate and, therefore, “has to
pay the price for its mistakes”.
He criticised the commission’s re-
turning officers for failing to explain
irregularities in their forms, saying;
“Any process gives rise to an outcome
and the commission’s returning offic-
ers failed to explain irregularities in
their forms.”
The judge also pointed out that the
commission had not bothered to ex-
plain alterations of figures in its forms,
the existence of blank forms and ballot
boxes with broken or no seals. “Form
37As lacked consistency and uniform-
ity, therefore casting doubts on the final
results,” he added.
The judge also noted that Mr Mag-
wanga’s witnesses gave inadequate
evidence to back up their claims
of voter bribery. He said the video
evidence of bribery, violence and in-
timidation presented to the court by
some of Mr Magwanga’s witnesses was
inadequate and inappropriate to prove
that Mr Awiti had conspired with the
commission to rig the election.
“The video evidence and other claims
presented by Mr Magwanga’s witnesses
failed to prove that Mr Awiti committed
electoral malpractices,” said the judge
who had, during the hearing, ordered a
recount of votes in 91 polling stations
across the county.
Mr Magwanga thanked the court
for the ruling, saying; “I am thankful
to the court for providing another op-
portunity for the residents of Homa
Bay to choose their leaders in a free,
fair and democratic manner.”
Awiti as governor
yesterday.
BARACK ODUOR |
NATION
Another of Governor Awiti’s lawyers,
Antony Oluoch, said they would go to
the Court of Appeal.
Legally, the governor will no longer
be in office until the notice is accepted
by the Court of Appeal registry and
subsequent orders issued to maintain
the status quo.
The judge slapped Mr Awiti with suit
costs of Sh2 million and the IEBC with
Sh4 million.
Mr Magwanga’s and Mr Awiti’s ri-
valry began after the highly disputed
Orange Democratic Movement (ODM)
party nominations in which Mr Mag-
wanga scored 14,661 votes against Mr
Awiti’s 46,342. Mr Magwanga ran as
an independent candidate, garnering
189,060 votes in the August 8 election
against Mr Awiti’s 210,173.
In his election petition, the former
Kasipul MP said he had a parallel tally-
ing centre that had shown his votes as
224,863 against Awiti’s 174,235 .
In his ruling yesterday, Judge
Joseph Karanja found that the Inde-
pendent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission (IEBC) did not conduct
a free and fair election.
Mr Awiti had in his first term in
office, said his government had
signed deals worth Sh32 billion with
investors. But in the run-up to the
General Election, two years after he
had made the promises, most of the
projects have not started.
Homa Bay also hit the headlines in
the first year of Mr Awiti’s admin-
istration as having been the first
one to attract foreign investors who
were to implement a Sh560 billion
Agri-City Project.
The project, which later turned out
to be a hoax, was widely mentioned
in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption
Commission report of 2013/14 that
President Uhuru Kenyatta handed to
Parliament in April2015.
However, the governor has main-
tained there were no financial obli-
gations by his government, despite
the EACC report’s assertion that the
county had parted with Sh200 mil-
lion upfront for the mega-project.
Mr Awiti, who has defended his
administration against the claims, is
also on the receiving end from more
than 670 casual workers who are
challenging their dismissal in court.

missed the funeral of Zimbabwe
opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai
following a 16-hour row over passports
with State officials.
Mr Orengo and Mr Wanjigi were to
leave for Zimbabwe on Monday night
in order to arrive in time for the cer-
emony of the Movement for Democratic
Change leader yesterday.
But the two were blocked from
boarding a Kenya Airways flight to
Harare where they were expected to
join National Super Alliance leader
Raila Odinga, who had jetted out ear-
lier in the day.
A court had allowed Mr Orengo and
Mr Wanjigi to travel to the southern
Africa nation.
At 9 am yesterday, the immigration
office returned Mr Wanjigi’s passport,
which had been confiscated at 9 pm
on Monday.
“We have missed it. We’ve missed
the funeral. These people! Now we can
just pass our condolences in person,”
an angry Wanjigi said at the airport
at 1.30 pm yesterday when he and
Mr Orengo were allowed to board a
second flight.
Minutes later, the businessman
posted a video while on the plane.
“We are on board!” Mr Wanjigi
says as he gives a thumbs-up in the
10-second video. Mr Orengo is seated
next to him.
“We are on the way,” Mr Orengo says,
as Mr Wanjigi, with a smile, adds trium-
phantly: “Harare, here we come.”
Mr Odinga, Mr Orengo and Mr Wan-
jigi are expected back in the country
at 4 pm today.
The flight problem started hours
after the two and five others obtained
a court order revoking the suspension
of their passports.
The others are Nasa strategist David
Ndii, Dagoretti North MP Simba Arati,
University of Nairobi don Adams
Oloo, Mr Paul Mwangi and Mr Henry

“When they arrived at the airport,
they were requested to produce copies
of the court orders, which they did not

ings on their phones purporting to be
the orders,” Immigration Department
chief Gordon Kihalang’wa said.
Mr Kihalang’wa said neither he nor
the department had been served with

He added that the Immigration

Even when they were allowed to fly

about the matter and if they would be

questioning on
incitement claims
BY KITAVI MUTUA
Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu
yesterday presented herself to po-
lice hours after obtaining a court
order stopping her arrest over
claims of inciting youth to violence
in her crackdown on illegal charcoal
trade.
Governor Ngilu turned up for
questioning at the Kitui offices of
the Directorate of Criminal Investi-
gations (DCI) at 10 am accompanied
by her lawyers where she asked to
be furnished with the allegations
against her, but left without record-
ing a statement.
County DCI boss Prosper Bosire
said the governor presented them
with the anticipatory bail granted
by court and was briefed on the al-
legations touching on her.
“The governor said she wasn’t
ready to record a statement and
requested for time to study the al-
legations; we agreed that she comes
back on Monday next week,” Mr
Bosire told journalists.
When she emerged from the police
station, Ms Ngilu maintained that she
will continue enforcing the charcoal
and sand harvesting ban as passed
by the county assembly, following a
public outcry over wanton environ-
mental ruin the two practices have
caused.
“I have a duty as a leader to take
decisive measures to protect our
environment in order to mitigate
perennial droughts and erratic
rainfall experienced in this region,”
she said.
digital IDs next year
BY MACHARIA MWANGI
Kenyans will from next
year be issued with digital
identity cards with special
features and personal de-
tails.
The new generation
identity cards will help ease
cross-border movement by
Kenyans within the Inter-
governmental Authority
on Development (IGAD)
trading bloc, according to
the government.
Director of Immigration
Services Major-General (rtd)
Gordon Kihalang’wa (below)
said the procurement proc-
ess for the document had
started.
“The digitalised docu-
ment will be scanned at the
border to facilitate easier
movement of people within
the IGAD region,” said Mr
Kihalang’wa, who spoke
during an IGAD consultative
meeting in Naivasha.
Among the special fea-
tures the ID will have are
health insurance, social se-
curity, taxation and driving
licence details.
Uganda and Rwanda are
already said to be in the
process of rolling out the
digital ID cards.
It also emerged that the
proposed draft Migration
Policy Framework will pro-
vide comprehensive policy
guidelines in Kenya’s effort
to promote migration within
the region.
Interior Ministry Chief
Administrative Secretary
Patrick ole Ntutu urged
the participants to review
and also improve the draft
protocol.
He expressed satisfac-
tion with negotiations on
the draft protocol since its
inception and emphasised
the need to put in place
mechanisms for better mi-
gration management.
“With the increasing
movement of migrants,
which is likely to persist
in the foreseeable future,
the management of migra-
tion has become one of the
critical challenges for IGAD
member states,” he said.
He reminded the partici-
pants that border security
remained key, with the
main objective being to en-
sure safety of citizens and

T
he Kenyan shilling has been left
exposed to the turbulence of for-
eign exchange markets after it
emerged that the International Mon-
etary Fund (IMF) stopped Nairobi’s
access to a Sh152 billion ($1.5 billion)
precautionary facility seven months
ago.
Kenya was yet to draw down on the
two-year facility, which has been a
key component in the country’s abil-
ity to weather economic shocks since
March 2016.
The precautionary facility has been
one of tools that have helped Kenya
stabilise the shilling against the dollar
– making the local currency to buck
the general weakening of most African
currencies during the period.
The shilling remained stable yester-
day at an average of 103.30 to the dollar,
supported by remittance inflows and
the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) li-
quidity mop-up that has helped counter
rising demand for the dollar.
Neither the CBK nor the National
Treasury made public the IMF’s with-
drawal of access to the facility seven
months ago.
The two institutions did not respond
available to the CBK to protect the shil-
ling in the currency market. Kenya’s
foreign reserves however still stand at
$7.24 billion (Sh700bn), equivalent to
4.84 months of import cover.
The IMF’s disclosure, seven months
after it suspended the facility, comes at
a time when senior Treasury officials,
including CS Henry Rotich are on a
roadshow in the US and Europe ahead
of the planned issuance of a new Eu-
robond in the current financial year.
Investors are however likely to be
wary of the economy’s exposure to
shocks in the absence of the IMF
facility, and thus demand a higher
premium on the Eurobond.
“International investors looking at
bonds from high yield countries like
Kenya will always be looking for the
availability of a facility that the country
can draw down in the event of a short
term problem. This is added safety that
also shows that the country is in good
standing with the multi-laterals,” said

from accessing.

pert with Riverside Capital Advisory.
The IMF is however expected to face
intense questioning over its decision to
wait for seven months before making
public its decision to block access to
the facility.
Jan Mikkelsen, the IMF representative
in Kenya, told Reuters and Bloomberg
news agencies yesterday that while the
facility has not been discontinued, ac-
cess to it was suspended after Nairobi
failed to complete a periodic review that
would have addressed, among other
things, the government’s failure to meet
the budget deficit reduction threshold
attached to the loan agreement.
“There was no agreement on the
FILE | NATION
fiscal adjustment at the time and
then I do believe the lengthy election
period (later in the year) made it dif-
ficult to have a review and complete
that in the period that followed,” Mr
Mikkelsen said.
The IMF had pegged reduction of
Kenya’s fiscal deficit to less than four
per cent of Gross Domestic Product
by the fiscal year ending June 2019
as part of the condition for access to
the facility.
An IMF team is however in Nairobi
to assess the possibility of awarding
Kenya a new standby facility to re-
place the current one that expires next
month. If successful, Kenya could be
back in the fund’s good books soon.

Report
NCIC 2016 STUDY
The most represented
ethnic community in the
employment of commis-
sions is the Kikuyu which
forms 22.2 per cent of the
employees. Other dominant
groups include the Kalenjin
(12.8%), Kamba (11.3%),
Luhya (11.1%) and Luo
(9.4%) .
Employment within the
commissions also included
minority communities such
as the Maasai, Njemps,
Rendille, Orma and the
Ogiek, to mention but a
few, who occupy 19.6 per
cent of positions.
Mr Gichohi asked the com-
mittee to look at the formula
and invite the commission to
interrogate with a view of either
formalizing it or developing leg-
islation to address the constant
complaints regarding the domi-
nation of the public service by
some ethnic groups.
The Capacity Assessment
and Rationalisation of the
Public Service (Carps) report
developed in 2015 shows that
77 per cent of all public service
positions are held by six com-
munities, leaving the rest of the
tribes to share 23 per cent of
positions.
The report, which was pre-
pared by the intergovernmental
steering committee for Carps,
did a breakdown of all ethnic
groups.
Out of those, the report states,
the Kikuyu community has the
lion’s share of the total number
of employees in the civil service
at 18,617.
This is more than a quarter of
the total number of employees
in the national government and
twice as much as the Luhya
community which has 12.2 per
cent (8,822) of the total work
force.
The Kalenjin come in third
with 8,275 employees which is
equivalent to 11.4 per cent of the
total work force.
The Luo, Kamba and Kisii
tribes each have a representa-
tion of 10.4 per cent, 10.3 per
cent and eight per cent in that
order.
Other tribes that make up the
top 10 ethnic groups within the
civil service include the Embu
with 1.9 per cent, the Mijikenda
with 2.3 per cent and the Maasai
with 1.4 per cent.
In 2016, the NCIC established
that with a total of 5,679 staff
in all constitutional commis-
sions, 93 per cent comply with
the NCI Act, 2008, as they
have not employed more than
33.3 per cent of their staff from
one ethnic group.
Only one of the 15 surveyed
commissions, Judicial Service
Commission, flouted the Act.

Petition > Case filed by activist Okiya Omtatah
Court rules Uhuru
can’t be prosecuted
Judge strikes off the
president’s name
from the case. He will
give his reasons later
BY GALGALO BOCHA
@gallgallo

T
he High Court yesterday
ruled that a criminal or
civil proceeding cannot
be instituted against a President
over performance of his duties
during his tenure.
Subsequently, Justice Chacha
Mwita struck out President
Uhuru Kenyatta’s name from
a case filed by activist Okiya
Omtatah challenging his
decision to appoint Chief Ad-
ministrative Secretaries and
Principal Secretaries.
Although Justice Mwita did
not divulge the reasons for
striking out President Keny-
atta’s name from the petition,
he indirectly agreed to the
submissions by the Attorney
General (AG) that the Presi-
dent is immune to any form of
prosecution.
“In my considered view, the
name of the President should
not have been in this petition. I
will provide reason in the final
judgement,” he briefly ruled.
The AG through senior
counsel Jennifer Gitiri, filed an
application seeking the removal
of President Kenyatta’s name
in the matter arguing that it is
unconstitutional to institute any
proceeding against the Head of
the State.
“We submit that the president
cannot be sued as he enjoys
presidential immunity,” she
added.
Ms Gitiri told Justice Chacha
that the inclusion of President
Kenyatta in the matter is unnec-
essary since AG is competent
to represent the action of the
national government in any civil
proceeding
“The petition will not suf-

of President Kenyatta will be
excluded in this proceeding,”
she added.
The National Assembly
through lawyer Mbarak Awadh
Ahmed associated himself to
the AG’s submission adding
that he has made an applica-
tion seeking to challenge the
jurisdiction of the court to hear
Mr Omtatah’s petition.
A youth group, enjoined as
interested party told Justice
Mwita that under international
law, a sitting President, Heads
of governments and Ambassa-
dors are immune to any form
of suit.
Through lawyer Danson Mun-
gatana, the group told Justice
Mwita that President Kenyatta
cannot be dragged to court for
any of his action as long as he
remains in the office.
In his response, Mr Omtatah
said that the President cannot
hide under the guise of the
doctrine of immunity to com-
mit impunity.
In the case, Mr Omtatah sued
President Kenyatta, the Public
Service Commission, the AG
and the Speaker of the National
Assembly over the Cabinet ap-
pointment.

Free day secondary education > TSC says staff overworked after student numbers increased
Cash to hire new teachers yet to be released
In readiness for 100pc
transition from primary,
agency projected to hire
12,626 teachers annually
BY OUMA WANZALA
owanzala@ke.nationmedia.com
T
he government is yet to release
funds to recruit teachers to
support the free day secondary
school education.
The Teachers Service Commission
(TSC) yesterday warned that the delay
in releasing Sh4.1 billion to hire 12,626
teachers was leading to the over work-
ing of those available.
Chief executive Nancy Macharia
told National Assembly’s Education
committee chaired by Julius Melly
(Tinderet) that the promise by the
government to release the funds was
yet to be honoured.
“In readiness for the 100 per cent
transition from primary to secondary
at the beginning of 2018, the commis-
sion projected to recruit an additional
12,626 teachers annually for the next
four years,” Ms Macharia told the
committee.
She disclosed that the shortage of
teachers stands at 104,821, compris-
ing 40,972 for primary and 63,849 for
secondary schools.
Staffing of schools is based on staff-
ing norms being curriculum based

institutions and one teacher per class

funds to recruit new teachers to aid the free day programme were not yet released.
plus 2.5 per cent of the number of
classes policy for primary schools.
Staffing norms take an ideal to be 50
learners, therefore pupil teacher ratio
may not be an actual indicator of ad-
equacy of teachers in a school.
“The commission has consistently
requested for increased budgetary
provisions to employ 20,000 teachers
annually. This has not borne much fruit
as the National Assembly appropriates
Sh2.5 billion annually for recruitment of
5,000 teachers,” said the TSC boss.
Ms Macharia added that the recruit-
ment of 20,000 is separate from the
hiring of 12,626 teachers for 100 per
cent transition from primary to sec-

ondary school.
“The commission has also put in
place mechanisms to ensure that re-
placement of teachers who exit service
is done promptly to ensure learning is
not interrupted,” said the CEO, adding
that the commission has ensured that
teachers who are already in service and
the few who are recruited are propor-
tionally distributed across the country
to address the staffing gaps.
In the report, Kakamega County
leads in shortage of teachers in sec-
ondary schools, followed by Bungoma
(2,890), Kitui (2,692), Kisii (2,686)
and Migori (2,315) while Garissa has
the least shortage at 184 teachers.

Transfers
SCHOOL CATEGORIES
THAT WERE AFFECTED
TSC chief executive Nancy Mach-
aria added that 31 principals in na-
tional schools were transferred, 77
in extra counties for girls and 73
for boys, 10 vacancies were filled
in national schools 134 extra and
sub-county schools were trans-
ferred while 19 tertiary institutions
were affected by the transfers.
She defended performance ap-
praisal and contracting saying
it had improved performance in
schools as well as improved con-
tact hours.
In primary schools, Bungoma County
has the highest shortage of teachers,
followed by Kakamega at 3,615 while
Kitui has a shortage of 2,764.
Ms Macharia admitted that there are
regional disparities in the distribution
of teachers across the country.
Some of the measures that have been
taken by the commission to address the
inequality in distribution of teachers
she said included; allocation of vacan-
cies during recruitment based on the
staffing norms in the county with coun-
ties that have acute shortages getting
higher ratio for recruitment and con-
tinuous teacher rationalization through
transfers which are done mostly at the
National News | 9
end of each calendar year.
On transfers, the TSC executive
officer said the transfers affected 346
teachers out of 8,542 translating to 4.05
per cent of the principals in secondary
schools.
She said in 2015, 495 principals out of
7,830 were transferred, in 2016 a total
of 246 out of 8,121 were transferred
while in 2017, 346 out of 8,542 were
transferred.
MPs led by Mr Melly asked the com-
mission to ensure equal distribution
of teachers in the country noting that
some schools were getting a row deal
in terms of teachers.
He also condemned the attack on
teachers by politicians saying such
behaviour should not be tolerated.
Ms Macharia also raised concerns
over politicizing of education and asked
politicians to keep off the sector.
She advised teachers fleeing Wajir
County for fear of attacks by Shabaab
to register with TSC county director.
Members of the committee said
teachers who fear for their lives should
not be forced to continue working in
North Eastern.
Teachers from other parts of the
country are fleeing the region after an
attack by the terrorist group that left
two teachers and a wife of one of the
teacher’s dead on Friday last week.
Ms Macharia said insecurity had
mostly affected arid and semi-arid
counties with serious challenges
being experienced in Mandera, Wajir,
Lamu and Garissa counties due to Al-
Shabaab menace.

now seeks to reverse.
He did not mince his words
when he addressed residents
and security officers during a
peace meeting at Tot in Elgeyo-
Marakwet County.
“What is it with this region? The
first role of every Interior CS who
takes over is to tour Kerio Valley.
We have to do things differently
and put a stop to this madness,”
said Dr Matiang’i.

and banditry,” he said.
But, even as he spoke, armed
bandits descended on Kamolokol
village, just a few kilometres from
where the CS was addressing the
peace meeting, shot dead one per-
son and drove away an unknown
number of livestock.
Dr Matiang’i warned politi-
cians found to be inciting their
communities to violence of dire
consequences.
“There will be no compromise
when it comes to security issues
and we will be ruthless with
people who incite their commu-
nities to fight other communities,”
warned the CS.
The skirmishes largely pit the
Marakwet against the Pokot and
have led to more than 20 deaths
since the beginning of the year.
Last week, two people were shot
dead after more than 50 raiders
from Tiaty in Baringo County
launched a daring midday at-
tack and ambushed a group of
herders at Chesow grazing field

fire, killing the duo on the spot
and injuring two others. Area
Chief Abraham Yano identified
the dead as Kipkemoi Kitum,
22, and Andrew Biwott, 38.
The situation is not different
in Baringo County itself where
many residents have fled their
homes due to the killings that
have persisted since 2009.
Mr Daniel Chesum from Bar-
tabwa in Baringo North said
some families do not know the
whereabouts of their children to
date following attacks late year
that sent villagers fleeing in dif-
ferent directions.
Mr Chesum narrates how the at-
tack in Kesumet village left three
people, one of them a Class Five
pupil, dead.
“Their bodies were found a
week later in the bush. We had
to bury them in the bush because
it was far from the villages and the
roads were impassable and taking
into consideration the fact that the
villages were already deserted,”
said Mr Chesum.
ernment denies claims of
the regrouping of the once
dreaded criminal outfit.
More than 20 people
have been killed in the past
two months, the latest on
Sunday night when four
were murdered in Cheptais
Sub-County.
Those who spoke to the
Daily Nation said they were
living in endless fear as the
attackers strike at any time
of the night.
“We are constantly in fear
because at night we dread
gangsters who just storm
in your house and kill.
We don’t know what we
should do to be alive,” said
Ms Salome Cheptoo, who
lost her husband during the
Sunday night attack.
According to Ms Chep-
too, her husband was killed
after the criminals, who
were armed with guns
and machetes, stormed
their house and held them
hostage.
“I managed to escape
through the rear door and
sought refuge in a thicket
only to return in an hour’s
time to find the lifeless
body of my husband,” said
Ms Cheptoo, from Soos vil-

Seven suspects linked to uncovered terrorism cell arrested in Isiolo

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Seven suspects believed to be
part of a group of terrorists ar-
rested in Isiolo County last week
were nabbed by security officers in
Mbarambate, Garbatulla.
A confidential report seen by
the Nation indicates that the
seven, who were believed to be
from Wajir and Mandera East,
were travelling in a white Toyota
Probox when they were arrested
shortly after entering Mbarambate
shopping centre at around 9.30 pm
on Monday.
Police found several items
similar to communication gadgets,
including seven mobile phones,
earphones, a solar panel, a bat-
tery and their IDs.
During the search, cooking uten-
sils, foodstuffs, sleeping mats, 20
litres of petrol and jerricans of
water were found.
Last Thursday, Mr Abdimajit
Adan, 24, was arrested alongside
Mr Mohammed Nane, 23, in Merti,
Isiolo County, in a group of five
suspected terrorists who were
transporting a cache of weapons
in a car hidden in the bush.
Two others escaped and one

Clan clashes rekindle massacre memories
Key officials mentioned

F
resh clan conflicts over resources
in Wajir have led to calls for
disarmament and memories of
the 1984 Wagalla massacre that left
hundreds dead.
Since December, more than 10 peo-
ple have been killed in clashes between
members of the Arjuran and Degodia
clans at the Eldas and Wajir North
sub-counties boundary.
Among the first casualties of the
skirmishes were a chief, a Kenya Police
Reservist, a secondary school student
and a 70-year-old herdsman.
The latest was a pregnant woman
who was shot and her body mutilated
at Malkagufu area in broad daylight.
A man who was killed had his eyes
gouged out.
Kenya National Commission on
Human Rights North-Eastern regional
coordinator Kinyanjui Thuo expressed
fears of a Wagalla-like massacre should
the government resort to disarming the
fighters.
In a past interview, Wajir County
Administration Police boss Moham-
med Sheikh said the government was
contemplating a major security opera-

FACTS ABOUT THE
ONGOING CONFLICT
The clans: Members of the Degodia
and Arjuran clans are the protago-
nists in the drawnout conflict.
The genesis: Officials say the clans
are fighting for resources, mainly
water and pasture.
The area: The scene of the bloody
clashes is the border area of North
Wajir and Eldas sub-counties.
The victims: A chief, a police re-
servist, a student and others.

tion in the area.
“We want to apply different ap-
proaches as we attempt to bring an
end to the senseless killings, includ-
ing dialogue and a weapon mop-up,”
he said.
The county security team, which in-
cludes chiefs and their assistants, has
hosted several peace meetings.
Mr Sheikh said Tuluw Roba, Mal-
kagufu, Batalu and Lakoley were the
violence hotspots.
The killings have led to closure of
several schools in the two sub-coun-
ties.

as a reminder of the dark period, lies

it, accusing unnamed individuals of

Last week, the family of Wajir’s first
senator Noor Adan, who was among
the victims of the Wagalla massacre,
demanded justice and asked the govern-
ment to explain what happened.
The February 1984 massacre took
place as security forces attempted to
disarm the Degodia following clan-
related skirmishes.
Men were rounded up by the mili-
tary and delivered to Wagalla airstrip
in lorries. With no food or water in the
scorching sun, the men were beaten,
tortured, ordered to lie on the ground
for days, while some were executed.
Although the government puts the
number of the dead at 57, residents

and rights organisations say as many
as 5,000 people were killed.
The Truth, Justice and Reconcilia-
tion Commission, which was set up
to investigate historical injustices, said
close to 1,000 people were killed in
the massacre.
The commission added that it
was unable to determine the precise
number.
It said security agents committed
atrocities, including torture, beat-
ings, rape and sexual violence, burning
houses and looting.
Adan’s son Mohamed Noor said
justice for his father and others killed
had become a distant dream.
Noor, who was popularly known as
Ngamia, was nominated a senator by
President Jomo Kenyatta in 1963 and
served until the Senate was scrapped.
He was then nominated an MP, a posi-
tion he held until 1969.
Close friends
In an interview recently, Mr Mo-
hamed recalled former Interior minister
Justus ole Tipis denying the massacre
had happened during a Voice of Kenya
radio show one Sunday morning in
1984. Tipis said those killed were
secessionist Shifta bandits.
“Was my father a decorated lawmaker
or a Shifta?” Mr Mohamed asked.
He said President Kenyatta should
end the cry for justice by survivors of
the massacre “as my father and his
were close friends” by implementing
the TJRC report.
Almost all key players mentioned in
the TJRC report have died.

T
raders have been taking advan-
tage of porous borders to bring
in plastic bags despite a ban.
In Migori and Busia counties, the
Nation found residents using the
banned bags ferried from Tanzania
and Uganda.
At Isibania and Migori towns, the
traders kept the bags off display to
avoid detection and only removed
them when serving customers. The
traders, however, informed custom-
ers to carry the bags visibly at their
own risk, an indication they were aware
of the ban.
Vegetable and fish vendors in these
towns are the most notorious. “It is
hard to pack freshly cut vegetables in
an old newspaper. It is even unhealthy
to do so. Our customers do not carry
containers and we resort to the plas-
tic bags in a bid to attract customers,”
said a vendor at Isibania as she packed
vegetables for a customer.
Another food vendor at Ntimaru in
Kuria East said: “I sell boiled eggs with
kachumbari. I tried serving the food on
old newspapers but customers were not
happy. I resorted to plastic bags which
I buy from across the border.”
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA)
recently installed a one-stop border-post
in Isibania and, therefore, traders used
unofficial (panya) routes to smuggle the
bags through Gwitembe, Ntimaru and
Getambegwa on the Kenya-Tanzania
border. And, when the traders used the
Isibania border, our team found that
they hid the plastic bags among other
merchandise to escape the scrutiny of
customs officials.
The story was the same in Busia
County. Traders were still using the
plastic bags to package charcoal and
foods such as chips, fruits, water and
juice. At Bumala market, women pack-
aged fruits in the bags, especially in
the evening, even though they warned
customers it was illegal.
Officials said they were aware of the
problem and had been sealing the loop-
holes. Mr Edward Menza, the National
Environment Management Authority
Briefly
HOW TRADERS HAVE
FARED MONTHS LATER
In Migori and Busia counties, resi-
dents continue using banned plastic
bags which are smuggled from Tan-
zania and Uganda.
More than 35 people arrested in
Mombasa and Machakos counties
after they were found with the
bags.
Traders say they are forced to
continue using the bags due to the
costly price of eco-friendly ones.
Food vendors also said they still
haven’t found a safe way to pack-
age vegetables, fish and fruits.
(Nema) director in Busia, admitted
porous borders were a challenge to
the ban, but also blamed ignorance
among Kenyans.
“Most people do not know the differ-
ence between primary and secondary
packaging,” he said. “But, we are alert
in reinforcing the directive and last
Thursday we managed to confiscate a
consignment of 30,000 bags.”
Except for industrial packaging such
as in bread, soap, medical products and
others, use of plastic bags has been
banned.
KRA deputy commissioner for
western region Kevin Safari said his
team was carrying out checks at bor-
der points.
“We are stopping buses and trucks
for scrutiny. We have managed to im-
pound several trucks full of polythene
bags from Uganda. We will destroy the
contraband goods,” he said.
But traders who spoke to the Nation
in confidence said they were forced to
continue using the prohibited bags due
to the costly price of eco-friendly ones.
“We get these bags from Uganda at
a cheaper price compared to the
eco-friendly ones. We are aware it is
illegal to use the bags. We appeal to the
government to provide cheaper ones,”
said a fruit vendor in Busia town.
Officials who spoke to the Nation
said the ban will be more effective
if all countries in the East African
Community impose similar laws with
similar penalties. Uganda tried that ban
in 2014, but plastics have mainly crept
back in shops there even as the ban
remains officially in place. Rwanda is
the only country which has successfully
imposed the ban and travellers arriving
at the country’s ports of entry are often
asked to relinquish any plastics before
entry. Tanzania and South Sudan are
yet to enforce the ban.
Migori Nema director Parnwell
Simitu told border officials to support
enforcement of the ban by being more
vigilant to ensure no illegal bags find
their way into the county.
yesterday. At least
31 traders were
arrested after they
were found using
the banned plastic
bags.

In Mombasa, 29 people were yester-
day fined Sh50,000 each or serve one
year in jail after they were found with
plastic bags. The 29 pleaded guilty.
Three other people who denied the
charge before a Mombasa court were
released on a Sh400,000 bond.
The suspects were arrested on Mon-
day during a crackdown mounted by
Nema officials and the county inspec-
torate department in Majengo market
and Tudor.
In Machakos County, seven trad-
ers were yesterday arrested at Masii
market after they were found with
plastic bags. The seven were arrested
in a crackdown spearheaded by Mwala
police boss Henry Kimathi. They were
detained at Masii police station await-
ing charges.
Mr Kimathi said the grace period
given by the government for the eradi-
cation of plastic bags had ended. He
said those who continued to flout the
regulation were mostly greengrocers
who used the bags to package veg-
etables.
“Those still dealing with the banned
plastic bags are mostly mama mbogas
and muguka sellers. We have been
warning them but they seem not to
be heeding our warning,” said Mr
Kimathi.

Protect workers in
terror-prone region
T
he question of the safety of public workers in
northern Kenya is back in the news following the
killing of two teachers in Wajir last week. This
has sparked a mass exit of non-locals fearing for their
lives. The wife of one of the teachers was also killed in
the mayhem. It is inappropriate to apportion blame, but
when such aggression is targeted at non-local workers,
then the temptation to profile the perpetrators is great.
But that should not be the case because such foments
hatred based on region, ethnicity or religion.
Public workers sign up to serve anywhere in the
country. The northern frontier is a hardship area for
historical, economic and socio-cultural reasons. It has
never raised enough professionals such as teachers, and
hence has to depend on those from other parts of the
country. It is a high risk to serve in these regions and
therefore, the expectation is that workers, especially
non-locals, deserve proper security. But the accounts
of teachers fleeing from those regions suggest to the
contrary. Apparently, a subtle system has been perfected
of intimidating and frustrating those from upcountry,
ranging from punitive deployment and lack of proper
housing to open harassment.
This is not the first time non-locals have found
themselves targets of terror attack in the region. Four
years ago, some 28 teachers from upcountry travelling

LEGACY
What we need in Kenya is more
democracy and not dictatorship
D
ebate is raging as
patriots and democrats
argue that development
and President Uhuru
Kenyatta’s legacy need more
and more democracy. But the
conservatives and dictators
assert that development and
the President’s legacy require
the reintroduction of Kanu-
style ethnic and executive
dictatorship. When reasonable
Kenyans think their President’s
association with dictatorship
is a tragedy and an insult, the
tribalists and sycophants bow
to dictatorship as a saviour.
This debate is similar to the
story of King Rehoboam in the
Bible. King Solomon had just
died and his son, Rehoboam,
had succeeded him when the
people from the 12 tribes of
Israel sent a delegation to him,
asking him to lessen repression.
The young king sought the
counsel of elders, who told
him that good governance
would secure loyalty. The
king also sought the advice of
young people, who told him to
promise more burden, terror,
exploitation and repression. He
said: “My father placed heavy
burdens on you; I will make
them even heavier. He beat you
with whips; I will flog you with
bullwhips.”
When he denied the people
freedom, 10 tribes rebelled,

ROLES
No military has achieved gender balance
A
s the Kenya Defence
Forces (KDF) continues
its recruitment of men
and women to join the military,
there has been concern over
lack of gender balance. Most
recruitment centres appear
to be enlisting more men
than women. Some are not
hiring any women at all. The
public, including the media,
have perceived this as a direct
violation of the constitutional
rights of women.
While the Constitution
clearly stipulates the issue of
gender balance, the reality on
the ground is that it will take
time for the KDF to attain a
gender balance. It is worth
noting that most armies in
the world have not managed
to meet constitutional gender
requirement even though they
strive for it.
The biggest hurdle in
most armies is the nature of
military duties. While women
have been able to perform all
military duties, just like their
male colleagues, there are
circumstances that make them
unsuitable for certain roles and
in particular, direct combat.
Most women-friendly armies
in the world are still grappling
with raising the number of
women soldiers. The United
States is the most attractive
tribes, Judah and Benjamin.
In Kenya, the debate on
whether people should have
dictatorship or democracy
started at independence.
Mzee Jomo Kenyatta decided
he would govern the people
with dictatorship, and not
democracy. Kenya would adopt
a one-party dictatorship and
abandon multiparty democracy.
Opposition parties were banned
and leaders jailed or detained.
In 1982, this debate was
revisited in response to the
crisis of one-party dictatorship,
whose hallmarks were terror,
torture, detention, silence, fear
and ruin.
Bulldozed
President Daniel arap Moi
then bulldozed a castrated
and cowed Parliament to
bar multiparty democracy
by inserting Section 2A into
the Constitution, making
Kenya a de jure one-party
state. Parliament banned
democracy knowing that
what the MPs were doing
was national suicide, morally
wrong, a betrayal of conscience,
cowardice and fear that exposed
the country to a military coup.
But did one-party dictatorship
develop Kenya if dictatorship
is the panacea for our
underdevelopment? It didn’t.

THE CUTTING EDGE
BY THE WATCHMAN
GALLANT OFFICERS. The reported foiling by the
police of an attack that could have been carried out
in Nairobi says a lot about the ability of the service
to protect Kenyans, says Ken Ogare. “The hawk-eyed
officers who spotted the terrorists’ car and engaged
them in a gunfight in Isiolo deserve to be rewarded
for the fast and courageous action,” says Ken. This, he
adds, puts in a positive light a service whose members
are ever in the news for the wrong reasons, including
taking bribes even at border points to look the other
way as illegal arms and goods are sneaked into the
country. “Kudos to all those who were involved for a
job well done!” His contact is k_ogare@yahoo.com.
MASSIVE SHAME! Quite appalling to Dr Karanga
Kimani is the “massive and shameful pollution of
Nairobi River”, which late Environment minister John
Michuki had once hoped to make so clean he would
swim in it. Dr Kimani, who regularly drives along
the Globe Cinema roundabout, adds that the “sight
and smell of the river” is rather sickening. “During
Michuki’s time, the river became sparkling clean and
the smell disappeared within a matter of weeks.” He
is, therefore, challenging new Environment Cabinet
Secretary Keriako Tobiko to quickly do something
about it. His contact is karangafry@gmail.com.
FOOTBRIDGES ‘COMING’. The Kenya National
Highways Authority has already awarded tenders
for the construction of footbridges at Witeithie,
Mang’u Road junction (Jomoko), the Kenya School
of Monetary Studies and Garden City — all on the
Thika Superhighway. Responding to a recent enquiry,
Charles Njogu, the assistant director (corporate
communications), says that work on the first two
footbridges will start quite soon. For the other two, he
adds, the ground-breaking will be done next month.
His contact is communication@kenha.co.ke.

HEFTY POWER BILLS. A household in Kirinyaga
County, Renny Munene reports, is reeling under an
avalanche of hefty electricity bills in recent months.
In December, they were asked to pay a handsome
Sh8,126; in January, it was Sh6,574 and Sh5,112 in
February for lighting just a few bulbs. He adds: “This
family doesn’t operate a welding business or run a
fish and chips business to justify such huge bills,” says
Renny, who has complained to Kenya Power about it
but “no one has the time to hear me out or answer my
questions”. His contact is rwange173@gmail.com.
TOURISM CRISIS. Hotel closures at the Coast due
to a decline in foreign tourists should be a wake-up
call to the industry players to reinvent themselves
and encourage more locals to visit attractions in their
country, says Taabu Tele. With attractive packages by
coastal hotels, he adds, the standard gauge railway
also stands to gain as more upcountry people set out
to enjoy the sunny sandy beaches. “The operators
should not be pricing out Kenyans, who can sustain
their businesses throughout the year,” advises Taabu,
whose contact is taabu.tele@mail.com.
SHOCKING DEPARTURE. The resignation of
national football team Harambee Stars head coach
Paul Put just a few months after he took office is
shocking, says Sauthi Mbunza. When the Belgian
tactician was hired by Football Kenya Federation in
December, Sauthi recalls, he looked happy and quite
motivated to help to uplift the level of the Stars’ game.
With his contract terminated this month, adds Sauthi,
there is more than meets the eye and, to him, it points
to differences in the football federation’s leadership.

Let us not take Miguna
K
enyans should be educated
on the difference between a
dumpsite and an engineered
sanitary landfill.
The debate generated by the
proposed mega sanitary landfill
in Murang’a County, with some
viewing the setting up of the
facility as another attempt at
creating a dumpsite, and the fears
of its existence should not be there
at all if Kenyans can be shown the
difference between a sanitary
landfill and unmanaged dumpsite.
It is the opportune time for
Kenyans to be well enlightened.
What is being proposed for the
site in Gikono is an engineered
sanitary landfill, not a dumpsite.
While expressing his reservations
on the establishment on this page
(DN, February 20), John Wandaka
gave an example of a landfill he
visited in Israel. He went on to
describe how, in his example,
care has been taken to safeguard
underground water by provision of
a impervious liner to do this.
Why Wandaka doubts that the
Murang’a one won’t provide all the
facilities that he saw in Israel and
much more could be because the
project managers have not, so far,
explained what a sanitary landfill is
as opposed to a dumpsite, many of
which exist in Kenya.
The stigma associated with
dumpsites in most counties —
including Nairobi and Mombasa
— has informed Kenyans to oppose
any effort to undo the wrongs in the
solid waste management chain.

to become a sanitary landfill but
ended up being a dumpsite.
Contrary to what Kenyans have
come to believe on the existence of
sanitary landfills, a well-managed
landfill would be beneficial to
those neighbouring it in very
many ways.
What the project handlers
should do in the case of Murang’a
complaints is to call a forum,
which they should have done at the
beginning, and explain the working
system of a sanitary landfill and how
it will be managed.
The move from dumpsites to
incineration with power generation
in mind and, finally, to engineered
landfill to cater for the ash is the
way to go.

Channel free maternity funds into family planning
Many Kenyan mothers seem
to have misunderstood the free
maternity policy and gotten into
a birthing spree just to enjoy the
“free government services”.
My question is, if somebody
has no resources to cater for the
delivery fees, how will they afford
the cost of bringing up the child?
Aren’t they burdening the
next generation with more street
children and contributing to a
higher incidence of hunger and
malnutrition, thereby threatening
the national economy?
Disappointingly, some counties
have borrowed a leaf from the
national government.
The resources used to fund
free maternity should go into
family planning sensitisation.
One should bear the number
of children that they can easily
support without relying on the
government and well-wishers.
This will reduce dependency
on the government kitty, thereby
enhancing economic growth.
Research indicates that the
greatest economies of the world
are those whose population
growth policy is regulated
— with the rate being inversely

CRIME
Let justice be proof law is not an ass
W
hen Mr Bumble,
that poor victim
of a domineering
wife in Charles Dickens’s
Oliver Twist, was presented
in court because the
prosecutors believed that
his wife, in committing an
illegality, must have acted
under his instruction, he
described the law as an ass.
In the animal kingdom, an
ass is believed to be low
on the wisdom scale; it is a
character to which logic is
illogical and useless.
“If the law supposes that,”
said Mr Bumble, squeezing
his hat emphatically in both
hands, “the law is a ass — a
idiot. If that’s the eye of the
law, the law is a bachelor;
and the worst I wish the
law is, that his eye may be
opened by experience — by
experience.”
I do not wish to go into
the inexperience of bachelors
and lessons married men
learn. But events of the
recent past in judicial circles
point to the tragedy of
not correcting the asinine
nature of the law and how
it is applied two centuries
since Dickens’s eye-opening
revelation in 1837.
On February 8, the
Court of Appeal sitting
in Nairobi quashed a life
sentence handed to Elgiva
MICHAEL MUGWAMG’A
The tragedy is
that criminals get
off the hook due to
technicalities in law,
while some of those
kept in prison are
innocent suspects not
lucky enough to get
smart lawyers...”
Bwire Oliacha by the
High Court for terrorism-
related offences. Court
of Appeal Justices Daniel
Musinga, William Ouko
and Gatembu Kairu based
their decision on the fact
that the prosecution had
failed to table P3 forms of
two of Oliacha’s victims.
Because of that oversight,
a convicted terrorist will
shortly be released back to
the society, a free man. A
little background will help us
to understand how Oliacha
and the three judges got to
the Friday date.
On October 24, 2011,
Nairobi witnessed a twin
terror attack. On that
Monday morning, at around
3, a presumed customer
knocked at the door of a
bar on Mfang’ano Lane,
asking to be let in to quench
his thirst. His prayer was
answered only for him to
get in and detonate a hand
grenade. A few metres
away, at a crowded matatu
terminus on Race Course
Road, near the OTC bus
stage, another grenade was
exploded. A man died and
28 other people were injured.
The following day, police
arrested Oliacha, who after
interrogation, confessed to
being the mastermind of that
fatal attack. Oliacha, going
by the alias Mohammed
Saif, led the detectives
to his house in the city’s
Kayole estate, where an
arsenal, including an AK47
rifle, a sub-machine gun,
two revolver pistols, two
automatic pistols, 717
bullets, 1 SNG machine
gun magazine and 13 hand
grenades, were recovered.
Two days later, Chief
magistrate Grace Ngenye
stimaiknowledge
found Oliacha guilty of being
a member of a terror group,
engaging in organised crime
and inflicting grievous harm
and sentenced him to life in
jail.
Oliacha is reported to have
agreed with the magistrate,
who has since become a
judge, on everything other
than the idea that he should
be punished. He confessed
that he was a terrorist, had
killed and injured people and
that was trained in the skills
of administering terror.
Dangerous
He was not even sorry for
his acts of terror. In one of
his court appearances, he
said: “I am just happy, a sad
man is a remorseful man.”
But he disagreed that he
should spend his worthy life
behind bars. And, it seems,
the Court of Appeal agreed
with him!
The tragedy is that
criminals get off the hook
due to technicalities in law,
while some of those kept in
prison are innocent suspects
not lucky enough to get
smart lawyers, as dangerous
elements continue roaming
the streets. This raises the
question at whether the
law is meant to serve the
people and the community,
or the other way round. At
Wednesday February 21, 2018 | DAILY NATION
what point should judicial
officers and courts disregard
the letter of the law and
pay more attention to the
spirit where the two seem to
contradict? Shouldn’t reason
prevail where the greater
common good supersedes
the assumed rights of an
individual in the wrong?
It is time courts redeemed
the society from the danger
of the law that is an ass.
When the defenders of the
law, the courts and judges,
put little or no emphasis
on the potential danger
of some acts and actors
before them when giving
judgment, society is likely to
resort to alternative justice.
Lawlessness becomes more
attractive where the law does
not result in justice for the
majority.
When the State and
other powerful actors
begin to disregard court
orders, you might consider
examining the court’s
preceding behaviour. Let
our experience with terror
suspects freed in the past
be the opener as Mr Bumble
wished for our bachelor eye.

CONSTITUTION
Fix flaws in
supreme law
for harmony
Though there is a need for
dialogue by leaders on matters of
national importance, there is no
urgency to have electoral reforms.
Such changes should cover
amendments that are not in sync
with the aspiration of Kenyans.
Prior to the promulgation of
the 2010 Constitution, it was
acknowledged by even the most
ardent supporters that the new
supreme law of the land had some
flaws, which needed to be fixed
once it was passed.
Among the most glaring errors
or omissions is the silence over
the replacement of a deputy
governor when the seat falls
vacant. Nasa’s present agitation
for dialogue seems to be driven
by the heat they are feeling
over electoral defeat. The pain
would have been less severe had
the Constitution not effectively
locked them out in the running of
the country’s affairs.
The opposition should
assemble its finest brains to take
a fresh look at the Constitution
and recommend amendments
to accommodate presidential
election runners-up and their
deputies as nominated members
of the National Assembly and the
Senate.

the village.
Dotted with 1,500 healthy
coconut trees then, Mzee
Machenje used to harvest al-
most 10,000 coconuts every
fortnight worth Sh400,000
monthly.
Coconut traders from as
far as Tanzania and Uganda
came for the produce with
mini-trucks and pick-ups.
That is no more and the
once vibrant farm is a pale
shadow of its former self.
With tears almost flow-
ing in the middle of our
interview, Mzee Machenje,
who was the envy of every
villager, is now a pauper and
depends on his children for
his daily upkeep.
“When these trees were
productive, I would harvest
10,000 pieces every two
weeks. It was the backbone
of my business but I have
nothing to show for it now.

He said the problem
started in 2010 when the re-
gion was hit hard by drought,
and his trees began to wither
one after the other.
“Before then, these trees
produced enough nuts and I
entirely depended on them.
But in 2010, they were hard
hit by drought and, one after
another, they started to
wither and eventually dried
up. I watched them dying
one after the other until
nothing was left,” he said
as we moved from different
corners of the now battered
farm whose huge part has
been left unattended and
has grown bushes.
“The death of the coco-
nut industry brought in my
tribulations and the only
hope is for the government
to consider assisting us in
reviving the crop,” Mzee
Machenje said.
At his Mimando farm in
Mtwapa, Mzee John Mumba
wades through his bushy 12
acre farm. Inside the farm
is a remnant of cashewnut

owner is a cashew farmer.
True, Mzee Mumba is
among the farmers who
used to supply cashew nuts
to the defunct Kenya Cashew
Nuts Factory in Kilifi where
they recorded good sales in
the early 80s and 90s before
the collapse of the factory,
with the firm going under.

grown grass on his farm, he
was apologetic.

“You might not like this
farm because it has been
left unattended for long. But
there are some cashew nut
trees. I am planting afresh
to see if the crop will rise
again,” he said.
“We are trying to dust our-
selves up but the situation
is not good. This business
faced its worst moment with
the collapse of the factory
and re-emergence of middle-
men who killed its vibrancy,”
said Mzee Mumba.
The sad tales of these two
farmers is a story shared by
many farmers at the coast
who depended on the two
crops as the backbone of the
region’s economy. Govern-
ment intervention has been
minimal.
Those we interviewed
painted a picture of a
sector which, if not well ad-

and national governments,
will sink and kill the hopes

Nyeri >

County proposes to construct a Sh200 million house for governor

BY GRACE GITAU
The Nyeri devolved government has
proposed to spend Sh200 million on
a house for Governor Mutahi Kahiga
(right) and Sh20 million for a gate at
the county headquarters.
According to the 2018-19 financial
year development plan, the money
will be used to buy land and fund the
architectural design and construction
between 2018 and 2022.
The figures represent estimated costs
of the projects.
The Sh200 million, however, is
double the amount proposed by the
previous administration.
In its supplementary budget, the
county set aside Sh35 million for top
officials’ houses.
Contacted, Mr Mutahi said he was
not aware of the estimates, adding
that the bill of quantities had not
been finalised.
He said the Salaries and Remunera-
tion Commission directed counties to
build houses for the governor, deputy
governor and assembly speaker.
“The commission notified county
governments that these officials will
not receive house allowances from July
2019,” Mr Kahiga said.
Finance executive Robert Thuo
said it was wrong to conclude that
the county would spend Sh200 mil-
lion on houses “when the document
is still being prepared”.
“You do not quote a planning docu-
ment. There is no budget for that
residence,’ he said.
It is however unclear why the county
had decided to put up a new gate at the
county headquarters barely two years
after it was renovated by the late Gov-
ernor, Mr Nderitu Gachagua.
The governor has also acquired a new
Prado worth Sh14 million, factored in
the supplementary budget.

S
iaya Governor Cornel
Rasanga has raised a
new storm with MCAs
after disagreeing on a plan to
build a new assembly structure
at a cost of Sh700 million.
Mr Rasanga said the proposal
to put up a new assembly block
is a misplaced priority and
the money should instead be
channelled to development
projects.
However, assembly Speaker
George Okode accused the
governor of playing politics and
trying to divert attention.
“The project went through
public participation, was ap-
proved by the assembly and the
budget assented to the governor
himself. He is simply playing
politics,” said Mr Okode.
The county boss, who was
backed by Senator James
Orengo and Gem MP Elisha
Odhiambo, asked the MCAs to
allow his government to divert
the funds to other programmes
such as strengthening the health
sector.
During a church service over
the weekend, Mr Rasanga main-
tained that the money being
received from the national gov-
ernment be used in projects that
benefit the people of Siaya di-
rectly. “Devolution was brought
to improve the welfare of the
people, who have been yearning
for development as they have
been marginalised for decades,”
said Mr Rasanga.
The governor said the as-
sembly project was good but
its timing was wrong, adding
that there were other pressing
matters that should be given pri-
ority. Similar sentiments were
echoed by Mr Ochieng, who
urged the assembly to channel
the funds to other projects. He
proposed that the funds should
and the governor will not stop
it. The contract has already
been awarded and we were
even advised by the Control-
ler of Budget to stagger the
project for 10 years so that it
does not affect other develop-
ment projects,” he said.
He told the governor to
respect the separation of pow-
ers, saying the assembly is an
independent institution with its
own budget, and was keen on
having a flagship project. He
said that in the past financial
years when the amount was al-
located, it never interfered with
other projects.
Mr Okode also challenged
the governor to explain how he
spent Sh20 million, which he
said was allocated for NHIF in
the previous financial years.
The conflict between the as-
sembly and the executive has
escalated, having started when
the House rejected Mr Rasan-
ga’s nominees to the Cabinet.
They were, however, approved
last week.

Hi Baraza,
I have a family of four and I’m looking for
a good car. My two priorities are space
and comfort. I’m torn between crossovers
(X-Trail, CRV, Murano, RAV4) and mini-
vans (Honda Stream, Stepwagon, Honda
BEHIND Odyssey). Checking online (always the
best source of sane, reasoned arguments),
THE there are a lot of impassioned arguments
WHEEL for each.
Some say crossovers are just minivans in
disguise and are no more than ego-boost-
argument against them seems to be that
“they are not cool”. I don’t think we’ll go
off-roading but we plan to travel quite a
lot. Which type of car would you recom-
mend? I’m leaning towards a minivan,
especially a Honda.
Hello,
Crossovers are less disguised minivans
and more hatchbacks or compact wagons
in high-heeled shoes; but then again, in this
era of platform sharing, CAD designs and
seem to get enough of these things. With the
exception of oversized American pickups,
crossovers are the most profitable class of
car a manufacturer can make.
Minivans are roomy, true, and offer in-
creased practicality such as sliding doors
that come in handy when ensconced in tight
parking spots.
Whether or not they are more comfort-
able it to be decided on a case by case basis
because a car like a Mercedes-Benz GLE is a
crossover and more comfortable than most
in some of the finer things in life, such as
a two-door sports car.
This mindset doesn’t really apply here
in Kenya, where our tastes are strange and
our priorities skewed. This explains the
popularity of the Voxy and its ilk.
If you won’t off road and you do a lot
of road trips, then the minivan is for you,
image be damned. Hondas are not half bad,
particularly the Odyssey, and at least you
will shed the “Kenya uniform” blight that

I want to change my Toyota from
automatic to manual
Hello,
I’m looking for advice on chang-

mission to manual simply because

too much work? What’s the proce-

Hello Reyaad,
The conversion from an auto to
a manual is a fairly simple one on

Sprinter, though I initially disagreed
about trading in for a manual instead

it would have been a decade ago, if at

either lean towards the shabby side
or are simply not for sale.
Anyway, the conversion process:
you need the replacement gearbox at

most automatics is uncomfortably
paratively narrow heads (as occasioned
by a narrow bore) make porting and
valving less efficient: one can’t install
bigger ports or numerous valves for
easier breathing.
We can see from an engineering point
of view that the “undersquareness” of
the Chinese engine already puts it at a
slight disadvantage; but a closer look at
those numbers indicates the cylinder
dimensions of the two engines are not
very different. There is about half a litre
between them, with the Chinese getting
the fatter end of the displacement stick.
So why then is the Chinese equipment
outdone despite its bigger engine? That
big engine is its own undoing.
For one, undersquare engines are
not particularly revvy as pointed out,
which is why the live in tractors and
other slow-turning engines; and to
make power you need revs, plenty
of them.
Seeing how the torque is already
getting shortchanged by intra-cylinder
frictional losses; and now you can’t rev

looking pretty bleak. The bigger the
engine, the more the frictional losses

pedal into the footwell) along with
their master and slave cylinders, wir-
ing harness for the manual box where
applicable and whatever other little
knick-knacks that will be necessary
for the conversion to be a success.
These might vary from car to car,
which is why I won’t delve into a
comprehensive breakdown, but a
trustworthy mechanic should be
able to walk you through the requisite
shopping list before work starts.
The truncated process list involves
removing the driver’s seat, exchang-
ing the fat, original, automatic-only
brake pedal for a skinnier, manual-
specific one and drilling holes into
the forward bulkhead to accom-
modate the new pedal and master
cylinder.
The next big step is removing
the gearbox, having disconnected
anything and everything that needs
disconnecting: cables, linkages, wires
and driveshafts. Once the trans-
mission is out, remove the torque
converter and flywheel assembly
and replace them with their manual
transmission equivalents (flywheel

ten it in place, taking note of torque
specs when tightening bolts. From

Then attach the gear lever from
inside the car, replace or reattach
what you had disconnected but
didn’t discard, then, most impor-
tantly, bridge the wires that go to
the automatic transmission’s selector
box, otherwise the car won’t start.
An alternative to bridging the wires
is to have an aftermarket ECU since
the car will only refuse to start on its
stock ECU.

flagging performance when going
uphill, I’d suggest you start by
checking the load sensor of the
engine, which determines when
the engine is working hardest
(such as when going uphill) and
sends signals to the ECU to open
the taps a little wider, adjusting
the air-fuel ratios for better per-
formance.
A faulty load sensor means
the ECU can’t tell if the engine
is straining and will not make the
necessary adjustments - hence the
poor performance.
A transmission-related diagno-
sis would be to check the torque
converter stator to see if it is mal-
functioning. The stator assembly
is the “torque multiplier” in the
transmission, so if it is not work-
ing as it should, engine torque is

fore, underperforms.
anything it might send the graph in
the opposite direction.
The exact torque figure an engine
will put out depends on numerous
other factors, such as the lengths of
the intake and exhaust runners, the
compression ratio, brake mean effec-
tive pressure, valve number, design and
timing; cam profiles and generally the
degree of technology that has gone
into the engine.
These are what separate the perform-
ance parameters of engines of the same
size; or the reason why you may find a
smaller engine making better numbers
than a larger one.
Having developed a certain amount
of torque, the power an engine makes
is then determined by how high that
engine can rev while carrying that
torque. Your New Holland engine de-
velops more torque and carries that
torque to higher revs (2500rpm vs
the 704’s 2400), which is why it has
more power.
*Addendum: how high an engine
can rev is in itself yet another topic,
where physical design and material
science come into play.

Murage pushed his way past the

“Ngarana (namesake)!” Kimathi
perked up as soon as he saw Mur-
age. The two men talked for a few
minutes. Kimathi was wearing a

moment, lifted his camera and asked
Karundo Mugo, the guard standing
over Kimathi, to prop the prisoner to

the next thing I knew, I was lying on

Murage, now 87. He had been at-

policeman, pink with rage, lifted his
gun and struck Murage repeatedly
with the butt, then turned the busi-
ness end of his weapon and would
have fired had another officer not
shouted at him to hold fire.
“That was the last I saw of my
camera,” Murage says. “But one of the
morning papers carried the photo,
and I knew it was the one because
no other photographer was there
when I arrived.”
In later years other pictures of
the captured Kimathi would become
more popular and widely shared,
but in retrospect, none would carry
more personal weight than the fated,
single-shot from a friend’s camera.
Because even as the confetti of his-
tory swirled around that momentous
October day, a sub-plot was under-

and alone and on the run for days, it
must have been comforting to see one
of the few people whose friendship

retired forester, loves it this way, the
quiet among the trees. The gate bears
the initials “TK”. I was directed to
Murage’s home by Anthony Maina,
an assistant curator at the National
Museums of Kenya-Nyeri office.
The friendship between the two
Kimathis dated back to the peaceful
days before the militant struggle for
independence, when Kimathi was a
part-time teacher at Ihururu Primary
School where Murage was a pupil.
“He taught us mathematics,” says
Murage. “A kind man, we looked up
to him.”
Long-term friendship
Later, after abandoning the idea of
becoming a cleric, as he had wanted
earlier, Murage worked on a dairy
farm with Kimathi in Nyeri before
finding work as a forester. The two
kept in touch, albeit sporadically.
By the early ’50s, the course for
self-determination by Africans had
taken a new turn and urgency, and
the Mau Mau militant group was
shaping up.
Tiras Murage was working in the
Forestry Department in Embu when
the State of Emergency was declared
with dignitaries, one while planting
a tree at President Jomo Kenyatta’s
home in Gatundu, a young Uhuru
Kenyatta looking on. There are
black-and-white pictures from long
ago among wooden carvings and
trinkets. Now and then he pulls one
down and the memories come back.
Especially the day he saw Kimathi
for the last time.
The wound inflicted by the white
police officer’s gun took long to heal
and Murage still walks with a notice-
able limp. He pulls up his trouser
to reveal an angry scar running up
his left leg. But such is life and be-
sides, “it was good to see my friend
for the last time. I mean, he never
came back, you know,” he says with
a distant look.
Murage spends most of his time
looking after his wife, who has been
ailing for several years. Though she
cannot talk, she brightens up when
Murage walks up to her.
“That day in 1956 Kimathi said,
‘The White man will go, the land will
revert to us,’” the old man recalls as
he walks me to the gate. Behind us,
Muhoya Hill rises like a steeple,

Graves a matter of concern in Kericho

BY ANITA CHEPKOECH
@CTAnita
AChepkoech@ke.nationmedia.com
That the British colonialists evicted
many local people from their ancestral
lands in the South Rift to make way for
tea plantations is well known.
After grabbing the land, the colonial-
ists enacted laws preventing Africans
from “trespassing” on their land, which
are still strictly observed.
Now, apart from being landless, the
evictees, complain that they cannot ac-
cess to their forefathers’ graves, which
fall under the tea estates.
When British lawyer Karim Khan
visited victims of colonial injustices a
few months ago, he expressed concern
about the strict trespass laws. “It is
sad and unacceptable that some of the
graves of the families of the Kipsigis
and Talais are in the tea plantations, yet
they don’t have the right to go there
without the approval of the estates,”
said Mr Khan, who is among those
pushing the Kipsigis case in London to
seek compensation. Mr Peter Cheruiyot,
who lives in a former concentration
camp at Chepchabis, is troubled
because he has not right over his
grandparents “bones”.
“If you asked me to take you to
my paternal grandfather’s grave in
Chemasingi, I would point out almost
the exact spot, right behind Changana
factory. My grandmother’s is at
the workers camp not far from there,”
he says. He once sneaked into the
estate and planted an avocado tree
on the grandfather’s grave but found
out shortly thereafter that it had been
slashed.
About 200,000 acres of the land is
under Unilever, James Finlay, George
Williamson and Sotik Highlands, among
others, in the South Rift alone.
Mr Cheruiyot went to court two dec-
ades ago to challenge James Finlay’s
ownership of the land but the , but has
been protracted thanks to “delaying
tactics” in some quarters, adding that
his lawyers have also been compro-
mised, and therefore, dropped the case.
Ye the community has, with the help
of lawyers, collected irrefutable evi-
dence that they owned the land where
the estate now sits. In response to the
accusations, Unilever’s Sustainable
Business and Corporate Affairs Director,
East Africa, Mr Joseph Sunday, issued
a statement saying they had not
received any request from persons
wishing to visit graves in the Kericho
plantations. “There are various shrines
within the plantations belonging mostly
to the Indian community – who are
granted access whenever they wish to
access the shrines,” he said.
The management of James Finlay
did not respond to DN2’s texts and
e-mails despite promising to do so re-
garding the matter.
What worries the communities even
more is that the leases for the rea
estates were renewed for another 99
years seven years ago, following the
promulgation of the new constitution
in 2010. Mrs Everline Ruto, a women’s
representative in the Myoot council of
elders, even claims that some human
bones had been dug out of the plan-
tations and demanded that theybe
produced by the perpetrators.
“Nothing would be more fulfill-
ing than returning to the land of my
fathers. But it’s not enough if their
remains are not shown to us. We want
the Britons to produce their bones
or they will end up being affected by
them,” she said.
Mr Patroba Omollo, the Land Reg-
istrar for Kericho and Bomet counties,
says the communities quest to reclaim
the land is a long shot, thanks to the
renewal of leases.

eparatists in Cameroon’s restive English-speak-
ing regions have faced a violent crackdown since
declaring the creation of “Ambazonia”, a self-
proclaimed republic independent from the majority
French-speaking country.
The violence has helped fuel support for a growing
separatist movement, including armed groups, who
in turn have carried out a string of attacks on police
and the military.
Dozens on both sides have died, and tens of thou-
sands have fled into neighbouring Nigeria.
The political drive for the separatist cause began in
2016 after police broke up demonstrations by English-
speaking lawyers and teachers who protested against
working in French.
The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consor-
tium (CACSC), locally known as “the Consortium”,
was formed to campaign against what they viewed
as discrimination and marginalisation by the franco-
phone majority.
Although it campaigned for federal ties — not
secessionism — the campaign met with unyielding
opposition from octogenarian President Paul Biya.
The Consortium was dissolved in January 2017, two
of its leaders were arrested, and within the anglophone
protest movement, the pendulum began to swing in
favour of independence.
On October 1, prominent leader Sisiku Ayuk Tabe
declared the self-proclaimed republic of “Ambazonia”,
named after Ambas Bay on the Atlantic Ocean. The
state has not been recognised internationally.
President Biya countered with a crackdown and
enlisted the help of neighbouring Nigeria in denying
a haven to the “terrorists”.
In January, Ayuk Tabe and 46 of his supporters were
extradited by Nigeria to Cameroon despite claims that
many of them had lodged asylum applications.
In this climate of spiralling mistrust and revenge,
calls for separatism, rather than federalism, are domi-
nant. The loudest calls have come from the Southern
Cameroons Ambazonia Consortium United Front
(SCACUF), headed by Ayuk Tabe, which advocates
peaceful means to advance independence.
Many of its members are activists with a background
in teaching, law or farming, but it also counts former
leaders of the outlawed Southern Cameroon National
Council (SCNC), which began the campaign for inde-
pendence back in 1995.
“Negotiations are our best weapon,” said Millan
Atam, a SCACUF leader.
But since the crackdown and the roundup of Ayuk
Tabe, the peaceful stance is being outflanked by radi-
cals, some of whom advocate taking up arms against

Mr Lucas Cho Ayaba, who heads an armed
group
“the colonialist occupying forces”.
The International Crisis Group (ICG) estimates
that there are likely to be several hundred fighters.
On February 11, these groups and some other
separatist movements gathered in an umbrella
organisation called the Ambazonia Recognition
Collaboration Council (ARCC).
Its most prominent member is a firebrand former
student trade unionist, Lucas Cho Ayaba, who heads
an armed group that calls itself the Ambazonia De-
fence Forces (ADF). The ADF claimed responsibility
for kidnapping a government official on Sunday in
Batibo, a town near the Nigerian border.
It says it has “thousands of fighters,” although
commentators say the figure more likely to be
around a hundred or so. “We have a bloc defence
strategy — every village, every group of young people
can fight for Ambazonia, and we are ready to help
them,” he told AFP. Another armed group is South-
ern Cameroons Defence Forces (SOCADEF), led by
Ebenezer Akwanga, like Cho Ayaba an ex-student
trade unionist. In the late 1990s, the two were allies
in challenging the moderate strand of separatism,

and reversing it, to “the argument of force.”

Eight Burundian fishermen die in stormy Lake Tanganyika

BUJUMBURA, Tuesday
At least eight fishermen drowned
while fishing in Lake Tanganyika in
a storm on Sunday night, Burundi’s

Lake Tanganyika, said Gabriel Butoyi,

Several boats and other fishing equip-

said Butoyi. “The drowning was caused
by a violent wind that capsized fisher-

and it was hard for them to swim up
to the shores,” said the chairman. The

Canada in Key role in struggle > ‘He agreed to sacrifice his victory in order to save Zimbabwe’
protest to
Israel over Thousands attend Tsvangirai funeral
refugees Many BUHERA, Zimbabwe, Tuesday

OTTAWA, Tuesday
Canada, which takes in more
African refugees from Israel than
any other nation, has voiced
concerns to the Jewish state over
its planned mass deportation of
African migrants, an official said
yesterday.
A spokesman for Foreign Affairs
Minister Chrystia Freeland said Ot-
tawa is “concerned” that Israel is
working to expel thousands of Eri-
treans and Sudanese who entered
illegally over the years, giving them
an ultimatum: leave by April 1 or risk
being imprisoned indefinitely.
As the migrants could face danger
or imprisonment if returned to their
homelands, Israel has also offered
to relocate them to an unnamed
third country. The United Nations
has condemned Israel’s expulsion
policy, which offers each migrant
$3,500 and a plane ticket, as inco-
herent and unsafe.
“Canada does not support poli-
cies of mass deportations of asylum
seekers,” said Freeland’s spokesman
Adam Austen, adding that the expul-
sions would contravene migrants’
rights under the Geneva Convention
on the Status of Refugees, of which
Israel is a signatory. “As the country
that resettles the highest number
of African asylum seekers from Is-
rael, we are in direct contact with
the government of Israel to convey
Canada’s concerns.’’ (AFP)

“They range in time frame from

Goldring added he believed the
latest cases had emerged as “a direct
response to the publicity” around
the Haitian scandal.
“We really want people to come
forward,” he added.
The Oxfam chief was unable
to provide further details on the
cases when pressed by British
lawmakers.
The committee said it would be
conducting its own inquiry into
abuses in the foreign aid sector.
Three of Oxfam’s most senior
leaders repeatedly apologised for
the charity’s handling of an internal
investigation into the use of prosti-

devastating 2010 earthquake.

The revelations come just
days after police said there
were grounds to indict the

and breach of public trust, in
the biggest challenge yet to
the right-wing premier’s long
tenure in power.

The two men have been
identified as Nir Hefetz and

Safaricom and Airtel are already

Mr Bates spoke yesterday during

the consultant had followed a similar
rationale in reducing the number of
counties that Safaricom would be
required to share infrastructure, from
the original 14 to seven, in the latest

The consultant maintained that extra

has not yet addressed the issue of
charges that consumers will pay for
these services.
Analysys Mason further extended its
proposals in regards to mobile money
by recommending that interoperability
also applies to mobile money agents.
This would mean that agents could

On virtual cash you are alone, warns markets authority

BY CHARLES MWANIKI
AND JAMES KARIUKI
The Capital Markets Authority has
cautioned Kenyans on the dangers of
participating in initial cryptocurrency
coin offerings (ICOs) citing high risk
of exposure to fraud.
The authority is the second financial
regulator after Central Bank of Kenya
(CBK) to issue a warning against virtual
currencies, reminding investors that
they have no fall-back in case of loss
since neither regulator has oversight on
the internet-based digital money.
The capital markets regulator’s
warning comes at a time a local group
is selling a Kenyan developed digital
currency known as Nurucoin.
Perpetrate fraud
CMA says its caution is based on the
wider risks in coin offerings identified
by the International Organisation of
Securities Commissions (IOSCO)—of
which it is a member—that include
potential for fraud, cross-border
distribution risks, information
asymmetry on the risks, costs and
returns, and liquidity risks when one
wants to exit the investment.
“There are ongoing invitations to
members of the public to invest in
such coins in what is being marketed
as ‘pre-sale before launch on public
exchanges,” said CMA in a notice
published yesterday.
“While some ICOs are floated
by entrepreneurs with genuine and
innovative ideas for new products
and services, there is a risk that some
issuers could seek to perpetrate fraud
stimaiknowledge
against investors. Most ICOs operate
solely over the internet, and the fact
that the products and sellers may
not be subject to regulation, exposes
investors to fraud.”
E-commerce platform
CMA’s caution is seen as a reaction
to Nurucoin, which is being done
by owners of e-commerce platform
BlazeBay, a subsidiary of Churchblaze
Christian Association, which runs
a number of technology and social
networking platforms.

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19
The hard work and good business sense that
you’ve put into your job may finally be paying
off, Expect some positive changes to take place
at the workplace this week. Today you’re likely to
be feeling especially energetic and decide to give
your house a thorough cleaning.
PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20
Insights that may come welling up from the past
could be put to work for you in a positive way,
Pisces. You could use them as inspiration for a
creative project of some kind, or you could just
make them work for you in your day-to-day
dealings with others.
ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20
Your home might need some work today, Aries.
You and other members of your household could
decide to join forces and get everything done.
This might simply involve a thorough cleaning,
or it could mean major repairs of some sort,
perhaps plumbing or electrical. If the latter, it
isn’t a good idea to try to do this yourself.
TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20
Expect a lot of letters and phone calls from
lovers, close friends, or children today, Taurus.
You might also want to make a few yourselves.
Some positive and interesting information may
have come your way that you’ll want to share
with those close to you.
GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Studying some paperwork involving your
finances could bring a pleasant surprise. You’re
better off than you thought, Dividends or
benefits of some kind might be forthcoming. You
could decide to treat yourself, buy some gifts
for your family, or do some work on your home.
CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22
Today some information might come your way
that inspires you to come up with some valuable
new ideas, Cancer. Your own intuitive faculties
are operating at a very high level, and therefore
your insights could prove valuable.
LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22
Your intuition, physical and intellectual energy,
and insight are at an all-time high today, Leo.
You’ll probably want to spend much of the day
alone, reflecting on your ideas and deciding how
you want to put them to work for you.
VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23
You could well be bubbling over with physical
energy today, Virgo. You might want to spend
your day visiting with friends. You could pick up
some interesting information from them, which
you might be able to put to work for you. You
could lay plans for finally attaining a long-term
goal; perhaps a lucky break made this possible.
Expect to spend most of your day talking and
planning!
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
Visitors in your home, perhaps invited by others
in your household, could put a crimp in your
desire to be alone and hash out your thoughts
today. Your mind is sharp and ideas should come
thick and fast. Don’t get so irritated with the
situation at home that you sabotage your plans.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
You’re very intuitive by nature,, and today
you should be feeling especially so. Don’t be
surprised if you spontaneously tune in to the
ideas and emotions of those around you, or even
if you and someone else come up with the same
words at the same time..
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
This should be one of those days when you
feel as if you could conquer the world. You feel
strong and determined, Sagittarius, and willing
to do whatever it takes to get wherever you
want to be. A goal could be attained at this time,
ambitions realized.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
A business or passionate partner could bring
opportunities for advancement your way today,
Capricorn. You may decide to draft or execute
legal papers that could be very important to your
future. Travel might somehow be involved. In the
evening, plan a social celebration for all!

Change of guard > Minister declines to take questions from journalists
New CS takes over
from Wario and
declares he will tame
cartels that stifle
growth of sports
BY CELLESTINE OLILO

R

med, the new Cabinet
Secretary for Sports
and Heritage, yesterday officially
assumed office in a handing cer-
emony presided over by sports
principal secretary Kirimi Ka-
beria and attended by former
Sports CS Hassan Wario.
Echesa refused to take ques-
tions from journalists present
but in his short address, he
promised to “weed out cartels”
whom he accused of stifling
the growth of sports in the
country.
“It is with great joy that I
take up this role. Sports is no
longer a pastime, but a thriving
industry that can be a source of
livelihood to many.
Number of scandals
“I will look at the reports
from the previous regime and
then come up with a suitable
roadmap at an appropriate
time,” he said.
Then came the warning: “I
want to let the cartels in this
industry know that I am after
them. This is an official notice.
Any cartel that is involved in
sports and any official who is
involved in unscrupulous deals
in this industry should start
praying that I don’t catch up
with them,” he said.

him, stemming from his humble

No need to panic, Matano assures ‘Ingwe’ fans

BY JOHN ASHIHUNDU
AFC Leopards’ coach Robert
Matano has vowed that his side
will beat FOSA Juniors today
away in Antananarivo and ad-
vance to the second round of the
CAF Confederation Cup.
However, after a one-all
draw at home in Kakamega,
the Kenyans will need to win
by any margin in the return leg
to realize their dreams.
Another 1-1 draw will take the
game into penalties, and should
they get a high scoring draw
(2-2 and above) they will go
through on away goals rule.
It will be a demanding test
for the veteran coach who has
brought no fewer that 11 new
players into his first team this
season.
Leopards will have cope with-
out burly experienced central
