illagers in Tana River
and Lamu yesterday
said security forces
were bombarding camps in
Ozi Forest that were used by
raiders behind the spate of at-
tacks in Lamu and Tana River
counties.
Witnesses told the Nation
that they heard loud explo-
sions after military aircraft ew
over the forest in Tana River
county over the past few days.
The number of casualties could
not be independently con-
rmed, but multiple sources,
including some government
administration and security
ocials, claimed that some of
the attackers had been killed
in the operation while others
escaped with injuries.
There were also reports that
more than a dozen gunmen
aliated to the Somali-based
Al-Shabaab terrorists and local
bandits, including ringleaders
of the Lamu attacks, could have
been captured.
However, Deputy Inspec-
tor General of Police Samuel
Arachi, who has been leading
the joint forces operation, de-
nied that military aircraft had
bombed camps in the forest.
We have not done anything
of that nature. We came here to
make peace not to kill and we
are happy that we have been
able to ensure there is peace,
Mr Arachi told the Nation.
Military sources also de-
nied the claims, saying the
aeroplanes overying the area
were being used in the Somalia
operation and had nothing to
do with the operation against
the Lamu killers.
Mr Arachi, who was speak-
ing from Lamu, said security
forces had arrested 66 people
since the operation started, and
most of the suspects have since
been prosecuted.
Yesterday, however, wit-
nesses claimed that planes
had been overying the expan-
sive Ozi Forest in Tana Delta
District from Thursday to Sat-
urday and that they had heard
explosions in the forest.
We heard huge blasts
accompanied by smoke im-
mediately the three planes
ew over the forest, said a
Kilelegwani resident, Mr Mo-
hamed Guyo.
Residents of Ido, Kau, Kipini,
Witu Town, Dideworide and
Kiketa which are located within
a radius of 15 kilometres of the
operation, said they had heard
the explosions.
Former Kipini East council-
lor Sheri Abdulkadir said by
phone that there were explo-
sions in some areas.
We have been hearing
sounds of planes and blasts
since Thursday afternoon in
the direction of Ozi village
but we are not sure what is
going there, he said.
One chief said: We received
communication that we should
alert security agencies in case
people with gun wounds are
spotted.

BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Opposition leader Raila
Odinga yesterday sensation-
ally claimed that the gunmen
who stormed an estate in
Likoni and shot dead three
people had been sent by the
government.
Speaking at Ushindi Baptist
Church in Likoni yesterday,
the ODM leader said the
government was shielding the
killers. He claimed that Cord
had names of the gunmen.
We have the names but we
know they will not be arrested
because they sent them, Mr
Odinga said of the July 21 at-
tack at Soweto in Likoni.
Demand for arrest
After the attack, the hooded
killers, who numbered between
six and eight, dropped leaets
claiming they were avenging
the killing of their people in
Mpeketoni, Lamu County.
Mombasa County Com-
missioner Nelson Marwa,
however, blamed ODM for
the Likoni killings.
Yesterday, Mr Odinga
demanded that Mr Marwa
substantiate his allegations
or be arrested for spreading
falsehoods.
The people who were killed
in Lamu were innocent Ken-
yans. Instead of arresting the
killers, you send gangs to kill
other other innocent people in
Likoni. What kind of a govern-
ment is this that kills its own
people? he asked.
Mr Odinga also told-off
Lands Cabinet Secretary
Charity Ngilu who spent most
of the day visiting Lamu and
Tana River counties accom-
panied by surveyors. It was
in readiness for a 100,000
title deed-issuing exercise
by October.
Referendum call
Mr Odinga said Mrs Ngilu
had no business meddling in
land matters because Jubilee
ocials intend to grab tracts
of land whose 99-year lease
had expired.
The Cabinet Secretary
should leave the registry for
clerks, he said adding that her
intentions were suspicious.
He said Cord recognised
that the mandate to revoke
the 500,000 acres of land in
Lamu lay in the hands of the
National Lands Commission
and not Mrs Ngilu.
He also accused the gov-
ernment of arresting Lamu
Governor Issa Timammy
over the Mpeketoni killings
without any evidence.
He said without proper se-
curity, it would be dicult for
Kenyans to have better lives
and development.
Insecurity across the coun-
try as experienced in Wajir,
Mandera, Lamu and Mom-
basa is enough evidence that
the government has failed, he
told the congregation.
The former Prime Minister
urged Kenyans to desist from
engaging in religious wars and
co-exist peacefully.
Senator Hassan Omar said
Kenyans were living in di-
cult times and everyone was
feeling the impact.
He said some of the leaders
were against the Constitution
because of land matters and
now were hoodwinking Ken-
yans that they would provide
solutions.
These people cannot be
trusted to bring change. It
is through referendum that
these issues can be sorted,
he said.
Mombasa County
Commissioner Nelson
Marwa was in the head-
lines recently when
he accused ODM of
carrying out the Likoni
attacks. Mr Odinga
wants him arrested and
charged with incite-
ment.
According to Cord, Mrs
Ngilu has no powers or
mandate to revoke title
deeds. Mr Odinga said
Mrs Ngilu, President
Kenyatta and DP Wil-
liam Ruto were part of
the land problem.
Mr Odinga blamed the
land problems aict-
ing the Coastal region
and Kenya as a whole
to the Jubilee coalition.
He caused a sensation
when he claimed ODM
had names of those
who killed residents of
Soweto in Likoni.

TRANSPORT | More than 230 people have died in motorbike accidents since January

T
he number of motorcy-
cles in Kenya has risen
fivefold since 2007 to
about 180,000 and the trans-
port business, known as boda
boda, is as common as owning
a chicken.
But this popularity is costly.
According to the National
Transport and Safety Authority
(NTSA), 231 people have died in
boda boda accidents since Janu-
ary, 42 more than last year.
Over the past few days, a Na-
tion team observed how boda
bodas out trac rules, speed
through estates where children
are playing and even push o
pedestrians from walkways.
A normal business day in-
cludes carrying bales of grass,
having as many as ve passen-
gers at once, to transporting
livestock.
Our team saw police offic-
ers riding boda bodas without
helmets.
We also saw cows, goats, sheep
and furniture being carried by
passengers on motorbikes.
At one point on Kenyatta
Avenue in Nairobi, a rider and
his passenger were nearly hit
by a car after he chose to cross
against a red light.
Do the riders feel trac rules
arent meant for them?
It is important to tighten
rules because of their behaviour.
Some ride with no protective
gear, NTSA director-general
Francis Meja said last week.
While we have seen a sig-
nificant drop in deaths from
matatus, fatalities from boda
bodas have sharply increased,

of proposed new rules to tame
the business.

the ndings of ongoing investigations
led by lawyer Paul Muite.
The senior counsel was instructed
by the Director of Public Prosecu-
tions, Mr Keriako Tobiko, to review
the recommendations of the Direc-
torate of Criminal Investigation
into who should be prosecuted or
spared.
Yesterday, Mr Muite said investiga-

the highest responsibility.
He said an interim report he had
prepared had recommended further
investigations and CID ocers have
been sent to Malili to record state-
ments from more witnesses.
The nal report is expected to be
forwarded to the DPP by August 15,
Mr Muite said.
Although he conrmed that he was
going to recommend the prosecution
of a number of people, he declined to
name those likely to be recommended
for prosecution.
I dont want to tell you that we
will charge so and so, because that
would jeopardise our investigations,
but the truth is some people will be
charged and it will be those with high-
est responsibility, he said.

Mr Tobiko in May said he wanted
Mr Muite to advise his office on

also asked Mr Muite to conduct the

A farmer who is among those who

L
and owners whose par-
cels were purchased
for the construction of
a technocity in Machakos could
have lost as much as Sh500
million in a fraud scheme
masterminded by their own
representatives, an ongoing
investigation has revealed.
Detectives have uncovered
the scheme in which a Sh400
million part payment for the
Malili Ranch land was used to
buy individual farmers plots
cheaply by people who were
aware that the government had
already bought it at double the
price.
Although the government
through the Information and
Communications ministry
paid out Sh200,000 per acre
to the farmers, cunning people
some of them directors of the
ranch kept secret the infor-
mation that the government
had purchased the land then
cheated them into selling o
each acre at half the price.
They used Sh400 million
that the government paid to
buy each acre at Sh100,000,
meaning the farmers who sold
were literary conned of their
money.
The investigators who
have been camping at the
Malili Ranch over the past
two weeks piecing together
details point to a serious case
of conspiracy to defraud as
the directors took the Sh400
million before calling the indi-
vidual shareholders to inform
them of the intended sale.
The investigators believe
senior government officials
who were leading the pur-
chase knew that the directors
had not informed the farmers
that their plots had been sold
and a deposit paid yet they
went ahead to approve the
agreement.
As a result, some of the di-
rectors accumulated as many
as 100 plots, which they sold
to the government at the
Sh200,000 per acre.
One of them collected Sh80
million from the total Sh815
million that had been paid,
according to the documents
the Daily Nation analysed.
It means the director would
end up going home with about
Sh100 million from the total
Sh1 billion paid for the entire
5,000 acres.
Extrapolated, the six direc-
tors could end up pocketing
about Sh600 million.
According to the investiga-
tors who spoke to the Daily
Nation in anonymity because
their report was yet to be given
to authorities, immediately be-
fore the 5,000 acre-land was
sold to the government, it was
subdivided with each farmer
getting 7.8 acres.
After the division, everyone
knew his or her parcel as the
scheme had been approved by
the Lands ministry.
But a team led by senior
counsel Paul Muite argues
that in law, after the ministry
approved the scheme and the
titles were being prepared, the
company could not sell the
land as a block because the
benecial ownership had been
transferred to individuals.
At that time, Information
and Communications Perma-
nent Secretary Bitange Ndemo
was in consultation with the
directors for the company to
sell the land.
What it meant, according to
the review teams notes, was
that the directors were selling
what they did not own.
They also failed to call a
shareholders meeting to
approve the purchase and
endorse the sale price of
Sh200,000 per piece.
The directors had a duty
to disclose this but did not;
tender on behalf of the Malili
Ranch and appointed them to
act in the transaction.
Later, the directors agreed to
pay the lawyers Sh28 million,
taking into consideration the
fact that he negotiated with the
government on behalf of the
company. The rm also had
to undertake amalgamation
and collection of the individual
plots and share certicates, ac-
cording to another directors
meeting held on December
4, 2009.
The minutes also show that
payments to shareholders
whose plots were among the
acres bought were not uniform;
some received Sh300,000
less.
At another meeting held on
December 8, 2009, the ocials
stopped payment of Sh1.4 mil-
lion to farmers for each of the
7.8 acres.
While the company had
resolved to pay Sh1.4 million
to members whose plots were
within the 500,000 acres pur-
chased by the government, it
was noted that the computa-
tion was erroneous, according
to the minutes.
Pending other delibera-
tions, all payments should be
stopped apart from the pay-
ment and compensation for
the chairman which had been
listed among the earlier pay-
ments at Sh1.4 million.
Yesterday, Law Society of
Kenya chairman Eric Mutua
whose firm undertook the
transaction, said the rm was
still paying farmers and none
would miss out. We must
verify to ensure we are paying
the real owner. No money will
be taken away from farmers.
He said the farmers were
being paid after verication
using a master register.
To be continued tomorrow.

also knew of this, says the
investigation brief.
Mr Muite, who was ap-
pointed by Director Public
Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko
to establish whether the ac-
quisition of Malili Ranch was
above board, said the farmers
were duped into selling their
parcels at a cheaper price by
people who were aware of the
impending sale to the govern-
ment.
Mr Muite said individual
land owners were kept in the
dark on the governments
intention.
The lawyer said the directors
negotiated with the govern-
ment on the price but kept
the farmers in the dark.
He said some farmers were
paid Sh1.4 million while others
were paid Sh1.1 million on the
7.8 acres that they sold.
The lawyer questioned the
disparity and wondered why
farmers were paid differing
amounts on plots of the same
size and value.
The poor farmers never
knew that the government had
bought the land at Sh200,000
per acre, he said They were
duped into selling their plots
at a cheaper price.
Documents in possession
of the Daily Nation concur
with the investigators nd-
ings that seven directors of
the ranch never convened any
meeting to brief shareholders
of the intended sale.
At their rst meeting held on
January 22, 2009, Mr Josiah
Maundu Munuka, the chair-
man, informed the directors
that the Information and

advertised that it was looking
for 3,000 acres on Mombasa

Jubilee governors
faulted over vote
Two MPs have criticised gov-

Jubilee coalition for being part of
county bosses referendum com-
mittee. Tigania West MP David
Karithi (TNA) and his Endebess
counterpart Robert Pukose
(URP) told the governors to ex-
plain to Kenyans how their push
was not politically motivated.
Mr Karithi said the Jubilee gov-
ernors support for the planned
national vote was tantamount to
supporting and advancing the
ideologies of Cord, which is also
planning a referendum.
issues it wants to safeguard.
Besides increasing allocation to coun-
ties, the Bill will seek to ensure that Bills
passed by County Assemblies automatically
become law as opposed to the current situ-
ation where they must rst be gazetted by
the Attorney General.
Mr Ruto said governors would hold con-
sultations with MCAs in their respective
counties to ensure the referendum push
succeeds. Just yesterday (Saturday), I
had a meeting with MCAs in my county
to sensitise them on the need to support
the referendum. I also intend to meet the
MCAs and other stakeholders in my county
in the course of next week, he said.
And during the unveiling of the 15-mem-
ber referendum steering committee chaired
by Meru Governor Peter Munya last week,
Nyeri Governor Nderitu Gachagua said that
MCAs will play a crucial role in the push
for the referendum.
MCAs in each county government will
initiate the process of consulting with the
wananchi at the grassroots level on the
steps that we must take as a country to
fortify devolution as one of the critical
pillars of our Constitution, Mr Gachagua
said. From the MCAs, we will consult with
elected leaders at dierent levels and other
stakeholders including those representing
the youth, dierent faiths and women.
But an ocial of the County Assemblies
Forum, California ward MCA Hashim
Kamau accused the governors of seeking
to use them to achieve their selsh ends.
They have been ghting us, demonising
our trips abroad as a waste of public funds.
All over a sudden, they have realised that
MCAs are important and that privileges
enjoyed by MPs should be extended to
MCAs, he said.
for the referendum because the draft Bill
containing the proposed amendments to
the Constitution will have to win the sup-
port of at least 24 out of the 47 counties
before it goes to the National Assembly
and the Senate.
Mr Isaac Ruto, who chairs the Council of
Governors, told the Nation that the draft
Bill to be subjected to the referendum will
include proposals extending the privileges
enjoyed by MPs to the MCAs because they
are also elected leaders.
He said: We want to make their lives
more comfortable. They need to have things
like car grants to enable them move around
the wards. You cannot have ward admin-
istrators moving around with cars while
MCAs who are the elected representatives
of mwananchi walk on foot.
The car grants will be capped at Sh2
million.
We will also be proposing that MCAs
be allowed to administer the ward fund be-
cause they are the ones who know the needs
of the common mwananchi, he said.
Governors have launched a drive for a
referendum to protect the country govern-
ments from what they see as increased
interference by the Executive and the
national Legislature. President Uhuru
Kenyatta recently signed a new law making

Poll will tear Kenya
apart, says Cardinal
John Cardinal Njue has warned
that the push for a referendum
will divide Kenyans. The head
of the Catholic Church in Kenya
urged political leaders to sit
down and address the issues
that have been raised with sobri-
ety. Speaking yesterday at Karen
Catholic Church in Nairobi, the
cardinal said Kenya had intel-
ligent leaders who should be
able to address issues without
creating political tension. We
do not require this push and pull
over the referendum again. The
amount of confrontation that
we are witnessing is not good
for this country and can tear it
apart, he said.
Account for funds,
county bosses told
BY NATION REPORTER
Deputy President William
Ruto has told governors
pushing for a referendum
for increasing allocation to
counties to rst account for
what they were given.
Mr Ruto (below) yester-
day said it was unfair for
governors to ask for more
money for their regions yet
they had refused to honour
summonses to appear be-
fore the Senate to explain
their expenditures.
The county bosses want
the allocation to regional
governments increased
from 15 per cent of the
national revenue to 45 per
cent.
Speaking in Kisii County
where he attended a funds
drive at St John Nyabuito
Catholic Church in Nyarib-
ari Chache constituency, Mr
Ruto said the Constitution
requires public ocials to
be accountable on how they
use funds.
You cannot tell us
that you want the State
to allocate you more
public funds to use
as you please and
if asked to explain
how this has been
done you threaten us
with a refer-
endum, he said.
He claimed that gov-
ernors did not want to
account to the Senate,
the National Assembly,
the County Assembly, the
Controller of Budget and
the Auditor-General.
Some of those who
have been pushing for this
referendum have been sum-
moned to explain how they
have used the resources and
have refused to go.
You cannot have the
moral authority to ask for
more funds yet you can-
not account for what you
already have.
He told the county bosses
that the government was
not asking them for a favour
when seeking explanation
on funds.
Every leader must be ac-
countable to the people.
He said the government
had increased allocation
to counties by Sh40 bil-
lion without a
referendum.

200 schools
to get ICT
kits annually
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Two hundred schools will be
provided with Information Com-
munication Technology equipment
annually, Education Cabinet Secre-
tary Jacob Kaimenyi has said.
Prof Kaimenyi said the govern-
ment was committed to making
ICT a core part of the education
system.
We at the ministry are saying it
will not be business as usual, the
minister said at Karima Girls High
School in Nyandarua County at the
weekend where he launched an e-
learning centre.
Distance learning
He said the e-learning centre at
Karima High School would make
education easily available through
distance learning .
In public universities, he said,
there was an average of one com-
puter per 13 lecturers and one per
32 students. We want to make it
1:1.
Prof Kaimenyi said the laptop
project for class one pupils was on
course, adding that the government
was waiting for a ruling in a case
over procurement of the gadgets.
Once the court makes ruling on the
matter, we shall revisit the issue.
He said it was prudent to make
pupils computer literate in the 21st
century.

A
four-year-old boy whose leg was
amputated after he was hit by
a stray bullet will be tted with
a prosthetic limb.
Ali Mohamed was shot during the
assassination of Mombasa tycoon
Shahid Butt in Changamwe, Mom-
basa County, last month.
The family was yesterday ecstatic
at the governments gesture.
Alis grandmother, Mrs Farida
Hadi, and other relatives could not
help shedding tears of joy when Mom-
basa County Commissioner Nelson
Marwa knocked at their door in Port
Reitz bearing Sh500,000 for medical
expenses.
You are the rst person to visit us
at home and inquire about my boy.
I am lost for words; may God bless
you, President Uhuru Kenyatta and
his deputy William Ruto.
I thought we had been forgotten.
Many people came to visit him in hos-
pital but it was just public relations
gimmicks, Mrs Hadi said.
She thanked Bomu Hospital which
cleared her grandsons bill when he
was recuperating.
God gave us patience and persist-
ence to endure what befell us. But life
has drastically changed. I just want
the best for my grandson who always
asks when he will get his leg back to
wear his shoes, she said.
Ali said he was happy to be home
and was sure he would get back his
leg.
Mr Marwa acknowledged that the
boy was hit by a stray bullet during
the attack and assured the family of
the governments support.
When Deputy President Ruto was
in Mombasa he asked about him, he is
so concerned about Ali. He contacted
President Kenyatta and they gave me
Sh500,000 for his medical expenses,
said Mr Marwa.
He said the government would en-
sure the boy got a prosthetic limb.
I will also nd employment for two
of Mrs Hadis children who have com-
pleted secondary education so that
Ali gets sustained support, said Mr
Marwa.
Ali and his uncle Fahad Ali escaped
death by a whisker when their car was
sprayed with bullets while they were
trying to ee from the scene.
Mr Fahad, who was also injured in
the right leg, claimed police shot him
and his nephew on suspicion that they
were criminals.

would go to high schools.
Of the 5,339 teachers who will
be replacing those that have
left, 4,663 will go to primary

to represent the people of
Mathare constituency in the
National Assembly.
It is the rst by-election in
Nairobi, Kenyas most popu-
lous county, directly resulting
from last years General-Elec-

The nine, including former
MP George Wanjohi of TNA,
hope that the 88,053 regis-

Mr Wanjohi, whose election
was nullied by the Court of
Appeal, is facing competi-
tion for the seat from the
petitioner, Mr Steven Kari-
uki of ODM.
Though the two men are fa-
miliar foes, having contested

Mombasa residents who gave the
town the accolade for fast living and
earned it the tag Mombasa Raha
are now a subdued lot due to increas-
ing insecurity.
As long as attacks were consigned
to the outskirts of the town in places
such as Likoni, Changamwe or fur-
ther afield in Mpeketoni, Lamu,
Mombasas revellers maintained
a weekly routine that peaked on
weekends.
However, last Friday put a damper
on all revelry. Police who had been
on the tracks of two terrorism sus-
pects opened re and killed them
on the spot at the busy Likoni bus
terminus, around 5pm, when people
were heading home from work.
As the gun shots split through the
quiet Kizingo and Mbaraki neigh-
bourhoods, a wave of panic spread
across the town.
Pedestrians who were headed on
foot to the ferry ran back to town,
causing anxiety at the Little Theatre
Club where patrons were preparing
to watch the Stan Savannah play,
Labour.
Vehicles made U-turns, causing
unprecedented jam on the Arch-
bishop Makarios Road.
As we watched the pandemonium
from the relative safety of the gated
theatre clubs interior, there was talk
of rumour mongers spreading panic
ostensibly to show that the Jubilee
Government had failed to provide
security.
When the situation calmed down,
many of the theatre goers left after
the show and headed for pubs
near their residences, where they
felt safer.
Hours later, around 10pm, the Sta-
dium Beer Belt, a recently opened
club, was roaring with fun as a thank-
God-its-Friday crowd swigged down
alcohol and danced in frenzy.
Then, a quick succession of gun-
shots rented the air.
Life stopped momentarily as some
revellers scampered for the pave-
ment while others ran out.
Not one customer returned to a
bar near the one where we were,
after the ight.
However, in our club, people re-
turned and it lled up again after
information spread that the shots
were from police ocers who were
chasing suspected terrorists who ed
after abandoning their car.
Insecurity slowly killing the good life for Mombasa revellers

T
om Otieno, 18, was an unlikely
terrorist. Although he grew up
in a poor slum in Nairobi, he
was born and raised in a Catholic fam-
ily that traces its roots to Kisumu,
western Kenya.
He did not t many of the stere-
otypical and xenophobic descriptions
of terrorists in Kenya, which can
roughly be summed up as a young
poor Muslim of Somali origin.
Recent terror attacks attributed
to the Somali extremist group Al-
Shabaab, including the one on
Westgate Mall last September, have
only cemented the stereotypes.
However, more recent terrorist acts
in Kenya, including those in Mpeke-
toni that President Kenyatta said were
carried out by locals at the instigation
of the governments political rivals,
have brought home the reality of
domestic extremist violence.
Otieno is one of a growing number
of young Kenyans joining groups with
an ideology of extremist violence. His
family lives in Majengo, the sprawl-
ing slum in Pumwani District in the
outskirts of Nairobi, where the fam-
ily patriarch settled three decades
ago.
It is a grim place. Tiny mud-and-
wattle houses lean against one another
and residents jump over sewage and
other forms of lth to get from one
miserable place to another. As the af-
ternoon sun gives way to the musky
evening, several women of the night
emerge from siesta in their tiny, one-
room shacks and, sitting in dierent
alleys, they can be seen applying
scents and lotions, refreshing and
recycling their wares in preparation
for take-o ightless human birds
of prey.
From many spots in Majengo you
can see Nairobis central business
district, with its tall buildings. But
the most distinctive structure here is a
new mosque, completed a few months
ago, which is over four storeys.
According to a UN report, the
mosque served as a recruitment
ground and fund raising channel
for Al-Shabaab. Ocials connected
to the mosque deny any link to the
militant group but there is no doubt
that Majengo is one of the main re-
cruitment grounds for young Kenyans
into extremism.
In August 2011, Otieno announced
to his family that he had converted to
Islam. That was not entirely unusual
in a neighbourhood with a large Mus-
lim population, and his two sisters
had converted too.
However, as Otienos brother,
Markkas Odiko, says, strange things
started happening. Many of the boys
friends, who were all Muslims and
had attracted him to the religion,
started disappearing from around
July 2012. In August that year, Otieno
disappeared.
The family had heard reports that
young people were being recruited to
go to Somalia to join Al-Shabaab. I
know more than 100 youths known to
me personally who went to Somalia,
Odiko says.
Two weeks after Otieno disap-
peared, his family reported to the
police. His picture was sent out across
the country and his mobile phone was
traced to Mombasa, where many re-
cruits assemble before making their
way north into Somalia.
After its informers within Kenyan
police informed Al-Shabaab that
Otienos disappearance had been re-
ported, he was stopped from crossing
the border and told to return home.
Three friends he was travelling with
sneaked across into Somalia and a
waiting party of Al-Shabaab ghters
received them.
Otieno was the one that got away.
Thousands of young Kenyan men
have made the short journey across
the border into Somalia and, in the
process, often, a giant leap into violent
extremism.
The exact number is hard to tell,
but many sources say the recruit-
ment started as far back as 2006
when young Kenyans were given a
chance to go and make some money
ghting alongside dierent clan fac-
tions in Somalia. This recruitment
escalated around 2008/9 when, with
the knowledge and often involvement
of Kenyan security ocials, as many
as 3,000 young men were taken into
training with promises of thousands
of US dollars to ght in Somalia.
Some, like Otieno, were reeled in
over several months. In some cases,
however, recruitment happened much
faster. At the oces of Youth, Arts,
Development & Entrepreneurship
Network (Yaden) in Pangani, Nairobi,
Sami Gathii, the head, tells the story
of a young man nicknamed 12 Oclock
to 1 Oclock after he was recruited to
go to Somalia in an hour.
Yaden, which uses music, art, drama
and skills training to keep youths away
from Al-Shabaab recruiters, operates
in a former condemned building once
occupied by street children. From the
white square tiles, Gathiis tiny of-
ce must have been a kitchen or a
bathroom.
A few metres away is the spot where
a bomb went o inside a matatu last
December, killing at least four and
injuring several others.
Everyone is recruiting in this
area, Gathii says, from mosques,
churches, Al-Shabaab, Kenya Defence
Forces to the major political parties.
Radicalisation, he says, often happens
on the way back from Somalia, when
young men move from ghting for
what they see as a grand cause and
return to their miserable and incon-
sequential lives.
The returnees either turn to crime
or become easy target to those that
use the victimisation narrative to
preach extremist ideology.

WAR ON TERRORISM
DAILY NATION
Monday August 11, 2014
10 | National News
United for Social Mobilisation, say
they have seen about 30 young men
who have returned from Somalia.
Some were recruited by KDF, prom-
ised as much as $3,500 (Sh305,000)
and trained but returned when they
were paid less or grew weary of the
vagaries of war. Others were recruited
by Al-Shabaab, oered Sh100,000,
and promised more.
In the absence of a de-radicalisation
programme, many slip back quietly
often to nd that they are stigmatised
and ostracised. The local mosques,
always welcoming and with recruit-
ers always lurking often become a
sanctuary.
Kenyas response to the threat of
violent extremism and radicalisation,
for instance, as seen in the raids on
Eastleigh early this year targeting
illegal immigrants from Somalia,
has often followed the narrative
that frames it as an externalised
problem.
A more nuanced understanding of
the problem, particularly one that
asks the right questions, might lead
to more appropriate responses.
A 2009 USAid-commissioned study
into the drivers of violent extremism
found that a lot of the conventional
wisdom about what turns ordinary
people like Otieno into willing suicide
bombers is not always accurate.
For instance, while many recruits
are usually poor and attracted by
oers of jobs and money, organisa-
tions that promote violent extremism
rarely dwell on issues like poverty,
unemployment, services or eco-
nomic opportunities. Instead, the
study shows, they are usually pre-
occupied by emotive triggers such as
identity, existential threats, perceived
humiliation, cultural domination and
oppression.
Kenyas response to the rise of
violent extremism has followed a
take-no-prisoners approach. Be-
sides the raids on Eastleigh, it has
been characterised by what appears
to be targeted assassination of radi-
cal preachers such as Sheikh Aboud
drive youth into terrorism
Rogo and others at the coast, mass
arrests of young men at mosques,
forced deportation, and other strong-
arm responses.
It is too early to tell how eective
this response will be, but the USAid
study found that countries that
protect civil liberties and political
rights are less likely to produce
violent extremism.
In addition, the study identied
the following key political drivers of
violent extremism: harsh rule and vio-
lation of human rights; widespread
corruption and impunity for well-
connected elite, poorly governed or
ungoverned areas, protracted and
violent local conicts, and previ-
ous government support to these
groups.
A close reading of these drivers
suggests that political reforms, in-
cluding resolution of deep-seated
grievances in north eastern Kenya
and at the Coast, are likely to be as
eective, if not more, than midnight
raids on Eastleigh.
This is not to say that promoters
of the ideology of violent extremism
should be ignored. The study notes
the potentially crucial role the
appeal of particular leader or inspi-
rational gure plays. It argues that
deep-seated issues may not actually
lead to violence in the absence of
political entrepreneurs, ideologues,
and/or organisations that can frame
and channel the relevant grievances
in violent directions.
The response to such ideologues,
however, should be within the
connes of the rule of law lest it re-
inforces the victimisation narrative
and further radicalise those who look
up to them.
Conditions are ripe for insur-
gency, says a Kenyan scholar who
has researched on extremist violence
in northern Kenya and at the Coast,
speaking o the record at a closed-
door seminar on insecurity. Some
3,000 or so militia were trained to go
ght in Somalia and Jubaland; where
are they now?
Although Otieno is reunited with
his family, his mind is still far and he
keeps mostly with his friends from
the mosque in Majengo, his other
family according to his brother.
He has found a job selling wares in
a nearby jua kali market, but he lives
from hand to mouth. He is yet to be
fully accepted by his neighbours, who
are suspicious that he might be part
of a sleeper cell.

Kenyans believed to have played key roles in Westgate attack
Sheikh Ahmed Iman Ali
According to a leaked National
Security Intelligence report,
Sheikh Ali, who was appointed by
Al-Shabaab as its de facto leader
of Kenyan ghters in Somalia, was
among the masterminds of the
Westgate attack.
Al-Shabaab remains focused
on conducting attacks through
individuals who have not been ar-
rested before. The masterminds of
the intended attacks are Kenyans,
who are in middle and senior
management levels of the terror
group.
Among them are Maalim Abass
Guyo, Ahmed Iman Ali and Jan
Mohamed Khan, alias Abu Musab
Al Mombasa, says the NIS report.
Last year, Sheikh Ali released a
video declaring war against Kenya
on behalf of Al-Shabaab.

Pumwani, Nairobi, said he was
controversial since his days at
Jomo Kenyatta University of Sci-
ence and Technology, where he
graduated with a degree in engi-
neering.
Born either in 1973 or 1974, the
sheikh presents security agents
with something new in the ght
against terrorism.
Those acquainted to him say he
was a charming preacher with a
fanatical following among various
Kenyan communities.
Abu Sandheere
Sandheere is believed to have es-
corted the terrorists who attacked
the Westgate shopping mall.
The 50-year-old Kenyan is said to
have been an associate of Fazul
Abdullah, a Qaeda leader who was
killed in Somalia.
Sandheere, whose parents were a
Maasai and a European, is believed
to have escaped moments after the
assault on the mall started.
He escorted the attackers to the
mall and then left as people were
eeing. He then travelled to the
border and crossed into Somalia,
said an intelligence source.
Security ocers
According to counter-terrorism
sources, the man, seconded to Al-
Shabaab by Al-Qaeda network, ar-
rived in Somalia after days of trying
to evade security ocers who had
launched a crackdown across the
country to stop suspected terrorists
from escaping.
Sandheere said to be the re-
gional Al-Qaeda man in charge of
intelligence, logistics and special
operations escaped from West-
gate with two other unidentied
terrorists.
He is also described as being ex-
tremely sharp.
Patrick Mayoyo
Abdikadir Mohamed Abdikadir
A home-grown jihadist from a well-
to-do Kenyan Somali family, the 28-
year-old Abdikadir is regarded one
of the most dangerous Al-Shabaab
and Al-Qaeda operative. He has had
a hand in nearly every terror attack
in northeastern Kenya and Nairobi.
A CNN story claimed that the
Central Intelligence Agency trained
and provided Abdikadir, who also
goes by the name Ikrima, with
resources to inltrate Al-Shabaab
and Al-Qaeda in Yemen. He later
turned against the CIA and used the
resources for terrorism.
Abdikadir was born in 1985 to a
Kenyan Somali middle class family
in Mombasa. He appears to have
had a normal childhood and no one
imagined that the typical Kenyan
youth would one day become a
feared Islamist militant.
Like many children of his age, Ab-
dikadir loved football, fancied styl-
ish designer clothes, loved movies
and went out clubbing with friends,
according to multiple sources in the
close-knit Somali community in Nai-
robi. They said he was a ladies man
because of his agility on the dance
oor and good looks.
His friends have either gone into
hiding, been warned not to speak to
the media or are afraid to acknowl-
edge ever knowing him.
Abdikadir is the subject of an
intense manhunt by Kenyas NIS
and nearly all Western intelligence
agencies.
Woman sings
peace after
surviving
1998 blast
BY NATION REPORTER
A survivor of the 1998 US Embassy
bombing in Nairobi has turned into a
peace ambassador who sings as she
strives to rebuild her life.
Ms Caroline Muthoka Wavai
(below) was seven months pregnant
with Lucky Baraka when the deadly
terror attack occurred.
Baraka is almost 16 now and about
to start Tenth Grade (equivalent to
Form Two) in the US, where he lives
with his mother.
Ms Muthoka worked as a com-
puter programmer at the Tana and
Athi River Development Authority
on the 19th floor of Co-operative
Bank House, adjacent to the Ufundi
Co-operative House, which was right
next to the embassy.
The attack left Ms Muthoka in-
jured. She stayed in hospital for two
months.
The incident turned her life upside
down. Her businesses, which she ran
on the side, collapsed after the blast.
She then moved to the US in 2001.
Ms Muthoka has taken up singing
in her bid to nd healing.
Before the bombing, she was a great
singer with the Muungano National
Choir.
After struggling to make ends meet
for 16 years, Ms Muthoka said she
decided to go back to singing, and
has released two CD albums You
Saved Us and Muuo (Kamba for
peace).
The albums basically talk about
what Ms Muthoka and her son Lucky
went through on August 7, 1998. Her
message is that had it not been for
God, they would not have made it.
Through all her songs, she preaches
peace, love and unity.
Ms Muthoka believes that if there
was peace in the world, she and many
others would not have gone through
traumatic experiences such as the
one in 1998.
Her songs include Tunataka Amani
Kenya (We want peace in Kenya),
Kenya Tupendane (Lets love each
other), Muuo (Peace), Together
we come, Hope, and Never with-
out you.
She described her songs as inspira-
tional, leading everyone to think about
peace and reconciliation.
Ms Muthoka runs Baraka Care
International.
As a survivor, I realised that we
need more trained personnel to deal
with calamities such as bombings,
drought and oods, she said.
When buildings collapse,
people tend to run there. This is
dangerous. They can be injured, she
added.

I
dont know if the
decision by President
Kenyatta to revoke the
title deeds of unscrupulous
speculators in Lamu is
legal or constitutional (it
is probably neither), but
I must commend him for
tackling head-on an issue
that has been a thorn in the
esh of coastal people for
decades.
However, the President
should know that ad hoc
decrees that are not rooted
in institutions, such as the
Constitution, or in law, have
little chance of succeeding,
and are unsustainable.
When this rogue bunch of
speculators is punished,
another bunch will crop up.
That is why it is
important for the President
to recognise the Truth,
Justice and Reconciliation
Commissions report and
the Ndungu Commission
report, which list land
injustices at the Coast and
other marginalised regions.
While those mentioned
adversely in these reports
cannot be assumed to
be guilty, there is merit
in looking at the cases
afresh, and having them
investigated so that
injustices related to land are
dealt with once and for all.
Coastal communities
have viewed successive
regimes (including those
that colonised them) as
predatory forces that sought
to alienate them from their
land and way of life.
Post-independence
governments, including
that of Uhurus father, did
very little to allay these
fears. On the contrary, the
coastal region suered
disproportionately from
poor educational facilities,
lack of access to jobs and
opportunities, particularly
in the civil service, and
discrimination in the
issuance of national IDs.
Poor education and lack
of employment in the formal
sector meant that landless
peasants had few livelihood
options. Thus many found
themselves caught in a cycle
of desperation and poverty.
Eorts by local
populations to force the
government to address their
issues have come to naught.
The Mombasa Republican
Council, a peasant
movement made up of both
Christians and Muslims,
was vilied and criminalised
by the State.
Both the opposition ODM
and the ruling PNU parties
failed to engage with the
MRC or to address their
issues, even when ODM
held the land docket in
the coalition government
formed in 2008. This has
created the general feeling
that Pwani si Kenya that
the coast is regarded as
being an alien territory.
This is evident in the lack
of government visibility at
the Coast. Police presence,
functioning government
clinics and well-equipped
government schools are a
rarity in most coastal areas.
The attacks on Mpeketoni
may be the result of Kenyas
uneven development model,
which not only favoured
certain areas within the
country, but also certain
ethnic groups within
marginalised regions.
As researcher Paul
Goldsmith has noted,
Mpeketonis largely
Kikuyu population, which
was settled there by the
government in the late
1960s, beneted from a
level of institutional support
that local populations did
not receive.
The new settlers received
supplies to till the land
and were issued with title
deeds while the indigenous
populations received
neither. Because of the
inherently tolerant nature
of coastal communities,
both locals and outsiders
lived together as amicable
neighbours.
But this tolerance is
being increasingly tested.
People living in and near
Lamu, for instance, believe
that the Lamu port project
will further disenfranchise
them as upcountry people
scramble to own land near
the port and to get jobs
at the port and related
industries.
Having experienced
government neglect,
discrimination,
disenfranchisement and
criminalisation it would
not be surprising if there is
a domestic element in the
attacks in Lamu County.
Coastal communities, like
most marginalised groups,
were hoping that land
reform would be accelerated
after the promulgation of
the new Constitution and
that indigenous populations
would be assured that they
would benet from projects
in the region.
This is clearly not
happening fast enough, and
in some cases, is even being
reversed by speculators out
to make a quick buck.
The President failed to
take up the challenge of
addressing land issues in
a systematic manner. His
recent decree threatens to
take us back to the time
when the President dished
out or denied land to
people based on personal or
commercial interests.

High alert over Ebola
outbreak advisable
A
lthough it is encouraging that an airline
passenger who had been isolated over Ebola
fears has tested negative, the incident is a
pointer that Kenya needs to do more to keep its
borders free of the disease.
This calls for greater surveillance, not just at
the various entry points, but also in the countries
that have been hit by the disease which has so far
claimed 850 lives.
Already, Kenyas security-sensitive tourism
industry is reeling from the eects of grenade
attacks just three months ago. At a time when the
country is doing everything it can to win back the
tourists, a reported case of Ebola would have put
the tourism industry into reverse gear.
Kenya needs greater prevention considering that
a suspected case of Ebola was reported in Kampala.
Besides this, there is also a need to prepare
emergency response teams on how to handle
infected passengers without sparking fear, alarm
and panic.
Coupled with this is the need to keep the public
informed. Similarly, Kenyan ocials must check
the travel histories of those checking in at various
entry points to be sure those allowed in have not
been turned away elsewhere on account of the
disease.
The ocials must strike the delicate balance of
welcoming visitors so that they do not pose a public
health hazard to the citizenry.
And as the various arms of government move
to tighten their surveillance and response, it is in
order to applaud the measures that have already
been put in place to check, isolate and test those
suspected to be infected.
This should be maintained bearing in mind the
need to ensure that it is done humanely.
Dont ignore youth talent
T
he National Secondary School Term 2B
Championships that came to a close on
Saturday in Kakamega was one of the biggest
gatherings of youthful sporting talent this year.
With more than 700 students from 121 schools in
the eight regions of the country participating, the
event was a thrilling week-long exhibition of talent.
It was, therefore, refreshing to note that several
coaches in the country took the trouble to troop to
the games venues on a talent-search mission.
Among these coaches was national womens
volleyball team coach David Lungaho, who spared
little time for the teams reception breakfast last
week upon arrival from Croatia, and instead headed
straight to Kakamega for his scouting mission.
Half a dozen coaches of clubs in the Kenyan
Premier League were also spotted in Kakamega.
In the past, there have been many success
stories of sports men and women who were rst
discovered at the school games.
Our sports administrators therefore need to
redouble their eorts in talent scouting at such
fertile grounds to ensure the countrys reservoir of
sports men and women never runs dry.
We owe it to the young people of Kenya to
recognise their talent early.

MENTAL HEALTH | Kimani Githongo
I
n what is really a new
dawn for counsellors and
psychologists in Kenya, the
Counsellors and Psychologists
Act 2014 was signed into law
by the President on July 30.
For the lifetime of the
profession, this practice has
not had any legal or regulatory
framework and the consumers
of these crucial services in the
mental health arena continued
to be served by persons who
had no certiable registration
credentials.
The profession, too, was
inltrated by all manner
of persons claiming to be
counsellors or psychologists
whose registration credentials
were not certiable. With
the enactment of this law,
unqualied persons are liable
to pay a ne of not less than
Sh500,000, or serve two years
in jail.
According to the Act, the
minimum qualications for
one to practise as a counselllor
or psychologist have been
pegged at a Bachelors degree
in either profession.
At an earlier stakeholders
editing panel, the proposal was
to have psychologists practise
after attaining a Masters
degree in Psychology to
benchmark against the norm
in this profession worldwide,
but the parliamentary
departmental committee
on health reduced the
qualication.
This is one of the areas that
may require an amendment
at an early date during the
implementation of the Act.
Diploma holders will continue
trading, but under a qualied
counsellor or psychologist.
There are many
professionals, including
psychiatrists, medical doctors,
nurses, educationists, clergy
and social workers who oer
quasi-psychological services,
and who will now have to
redirect their eorts to the
professions they are trained in.
The Act creates a
Counsellors and Psychologists
Board whose main task will
be to register all qualied
counsellors and psychologists,
handle all cases of indiscipline,
and ensure adherence to
professional standards
which includes continuous
professional education and
supervision.
The Act also creates a
membership body to be
known as Counsellors and
Psychologists Society that will
articulate all the professional
issues of counsellors and
psychologists. This was one
of the most contentious
issues, with a few practitioners
opposing such a society
and preferring the existing
associations to continue with
membership duties.
The creation of this society
was informed by the fact
that there were various
associations that seemed
to work and speak at cross-
purposes with each other.
During disasters, these
associations seemed to
compete for attention without
oering credible services.
For instance during the
Westgate terror attack, there
was no coordinated approach
to the oer of services
and most counsellors and
psychologists who oered
their services were not
remunerated in any way
despite the government
releasing the funds.
With the creation of the
society, this profession can
now speak with one voice and
the government, corporate
and all other organisations
and the public can now call on
the society for services. The
society will oer the services
through its members in a
coordinated manner.
It is expected that the
society will advocate for the
inclusion and employment
of their members in almost
all areas of governance and
handling of human resource.
For instance all National
and county government
departments are expected to
employ qualied counsellors to
help its members.
This, too, will be expected in
the private sector. Additionally,
it is hoped that the perennial
problem of dual relationships
in most institutions like
teacher-counsellor, nurse
counsellor, pastor-counsellor
or psychiatrist-psychologist,
human resources manager-
cum-counsellor will be
addressed.
Lastly, the Act could not
have come at a better time
when the country is plagued
by very many issues that
require to be addressed from
a psychological perspective
arising from the numerous
terrorist attacks, a rise in
gender-based and domestic
violence, illicit alcohol
consumption, substance abuse
and general breakdown of
morality that have left many
people dead, maimed and
families traumatised.

Why counsellors and psychologists are
happy about forming their own society
President Kenyatta assents to the
Counsellors and Psychologists Bill
T
he book of I Samuel Chapter 8 in
the Bible tells an interesting story.
When Israel demanded to have a
king just like other nations, God warned
that the rulers would tax them, enslave
them, impoverish them and make them
miserable.
There is a Bill pending in the National
Assembly which, if enacted into law, will
return Kenya to its dark past. The Bill,
sponsored by Eldas MP Adan Keynan, is
styled Order of Precedence Bill, 2014.
The memorandum to the Bill explains
that the proposed law is intended to
promote the good image of the country
and foster orderliness, discipline and
decorum in the processes of governance
There is no problem with orderliness,
discipline and decorum. These are virtues.
There is obviously nothing wrong with
promoting the good image of Kenya.
Indeed, this is badly needed in light of
the beating the countrys reputation has
received, especially due to insecurity and
other challenges.
A closer look at the Bill, however,
reveals that the devil lies in the detail.
The proposals are about political
aggrandisement. The price is citizens
freedoms and citizen subordination.
The Bill proposes ocial titles for
various State ocers. For the President,
his deputy and their respective spouses,
for instance, the title Excellency is
reserved. Judges are to be addressed as
Your Lordship while the more exalted
title Your Lordship the Chief Justice
is prescribed for the Chief Justice. The
list is long with titles for other ocers
such as MPs, governors, and Speakers of
Parliament.
Titles are not new to our society.
When Kenya became a Republic in 1964,
the President assumed the title Your
Excellency, a title previously reserved
for the colonial governor. These labels
are part of our colonial heritage; which is
why the debate on titles, ags and other
symbols just wont go away.
Bizarre tyranny
There is, however, a cause to worry about
the proposals. Anyone who truly cares
about democratic values and freedoms
should reject this obsession with titles.
First, the Bill proposes to make it a
serious crime for anyone to fail to address
an ocial by the prescribed title. The
oence attracts a jail-term of 12 months
or a minimum ne of one million shillings
and a maximum of two million shillings,
or both the ne and imprisonment.
Yes, one million, a million shillings!
What is contemplated in these provisions
is bizarre tyranny. Second, Kenyas
Constitution is celebrated for its robust
protection of individual freedoms, openness
and human rights. The Constitution orders
a shift from politics of autocratic authority
and citizen subjugation, to politics of
servant leadership, accountability and
peoples sovereignty. The proposed Bill is
an assault on all these lofty constitutional
ideals.
Third, in a functioning society, respect
for leaders, is to be taken for granted.
In other words, it grows naturally as a
social norm. It cannot be decreed and
enforced with sanctions. Decreeing
respect for ocials makes citizens slaves.
The proposed Bill seeks to do exactly
that and ies in the face of Chief Justice
Willy Mutungas directive that judges, in
the spirit of transformation, should be
addressed as Your honour in place of the
old title Your Lordship, which the Bill
seeks to endorse.
One, then, wonders whose interest the
Bill is intended to serve. It is certainly
not Wanjikus. Wanjiku faces the threat of
subordination, prison and impoverishing
nes. The proposed law is replete with
relics of Kenyas dark days; the days of
loyalty pledge, Mtukufu Rais, Baba na
Mama and the like.
Amidst numerous new legislation and
proposals for constitutional amendments,
there is the need for more alertness in
guarding Kenyas hard-earned freedom.

THE CUTTING EDGE

as it eases tax collection by making it convenient for
taxpayers to le their returns, says James Wachira.
However, James is not entirely impressed by the

ISSUE SORTED OUT. Some good news for

three years ago and failed to convert his old Kenya
Commercial Bank shares certicate into a CDS
account. Judith Sidi Odhiambo, the head of corporate

out Muyas shares hitch. However, she adds, they
have not been able to reach him through the email

TRUCKS A MENACE. There is some urgent work
for the ocer in charge of trac at Kikuyu Police
Station, says W. Chege, who is fed up with the antics
of truck drivers. They are so conceited, he adds, that
they have shamelessly turned the bus stops between
Uthiru and Gitaru into parking lots, making driving
through that section hell, especially in the evenings.
The equally rogue matatu drivers now just stop in the
middle of the road to drop o and pick up passengers.
DOWN THE DRAIN. Once the lingua franca
of East and Central Africa, Kiswahili is becoming
more international, but, ironically, some people
in Kenya are not giving it the status it deserves,
says Betty Humbe. The future of the language, she
adds, lies in its youth, but many secondary school
students cannot express themselves eloquently in
Kiswahili or in English. Betty wants tough regulations
on the use of the language enforced and radio
stations that desecrate it sanctioned. Her contact is

DIGITAL OR PERISH. Job recruitment agency
employee David Kimanis explanation as to why
employers do not acknowledge receipt of applications
these days is a lame excuse, says Musau Matheka.
He adds: Not in this day and age! One can have
jobseekers apply online and set the website to send
a no reply acknowledgement of receipt, giving
a timeline on when the successful applicants will
be contacted. Serious employers the world over
do it. Simply go digital or perish! His contact is

Why should TSC retain teachers who

MUBWEKA PAUL ORODI: It is
absurd to retain 60-year-olds and
yet fresh graduates, who are will-
ing and able to perform, are being
churned out of academic institutions
every year.
AB MALICH: At 60, one is old and
exhausted, and I believe they have
enough savings at this time. They

they enjoy their pension.
HK KANGETHE: Yes. They are

G
overnors are increasingly
having their peace so
badly disrupted that they
now nd it hard to concentrate on
their mandate. But they deserve no
sympathy since their problems are
self-inicted.
Their bloated egos and brink-
manship are their undoing. To cre-
ate a rst impression, they treated
us to chase cars with sirens blaring,
then the ght for ags on their cars
took over before we came to know
how extravagant they were in their
use of county funds.
This, as expected, attracted the
attention of the public, the media
and MPs. MCAs with whom the
governors were supposed to work
in nurturing devolution have not
been of any help either. Their self-
serving trips abroad and impeach-
ment motions meant to blackmail
governors have increased their
unpopularity.
With county leaders image badly
dented, anti-devoulution forces
have seized the chance to stamp
their authority.
My sympathies go to the com-
mon man. The mwananchis
greatest threat are the leaders out
to gobble his money. The Constitu-
tion is clear that people mandated
to oversee and make laws at coun-
ties are MCAs. Unfortunately, they
have completely failed to meet
Wanjikus expectations.
For that reason, it would be ex-
pected anyone with the intention of
putting things back on track would
seek to empower the MCAs and
probably devise stringent measures
to ensure services are delivered op-
timally. The problem, however, is
our leaders hunger. They want to
be in the kitchen team for reasons
known to all.
It is no wonder that senators in
collaboration with MPs have come
up with a law that includes them in
the management of the billions go-
ing to counties.
Though Kenyans are in agree-
ment that things are not right, the
amendment to the County Govern-
ment Act to establish development
boards which seek to bring in more
people to manage funds will not be
a cure. This move is bound to elicit
a lot of questions. First, why do
they want to take over the coun-
ties oversight role? Secondly, if
their aim is to prevent misuse of
funds, wouldnt it be more prudent
to formulate tougher laws than the
current ones? Thirdly, what have
they done to empower MCAs to be
able to perform their oversight and
legislative roles eectively? Lastly,
why do senators trust themselves
so much that they think the eating
bug will not bite them?
When your dog is disturbing your
children, you will have it locked up.
You dont bring a leopard to tame
it. Kenyans need to be very wor-
ried.

Emails from correspondents
Kenyans need to focus on reforms before tackling age-old issues
Most reformists understand clearly that time is al-
ways ripe to do right. I, too, hold this belief, but I beg
to deviate from it for now because of the hot discus-
sion regarding public land.
Martin Luther King Jr, in a letter while at a Birming-
ham City jail, implored future reformists to use time
creatively because, more often than not, time in its
neutrality becomes an ally of social stagnation.
Land grabbing is one of biggest forms of corrup-
tion in post-independent Kenya. The issue of land is
tricky, and if it is dealt with poorly it can set o a time
bomb.
Although most people want the Ndungu Report imple-
mented, I feel we are not ready to follow that path. Why?
First, we still have the mentality of they are target-
ing our people. We are still full of myopic, tribal percep-
tions. This is not a struggle between tribes but about
poor, helpless Kenyans against rich land grabbers.
Secondly, with all due respect, the Judiciary needs
more reforms to broaden its mandate for eective
adjudication of anti-corruption laws. Allow me to ask:
Of what good is it to expose land grabbers, if we lack
eective laws to ght corruption?
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has
not boldly tackled graft. I suggest that we hold a refer-
endum to change the Constitution. Let us use our time
creatively and push for reforms rst!

The World Health Organisation
has declared the Ebola epidemic
ravaging parts of West Africa an
international health emergency and
appealed for global aid to the af-
fected countries.
This comes after the disease
continued to spread, with the latest
country being Nigeria. Humanitar-
ian agencies responding to it say
they are overstretched. The latest
reports show that the total number
of reported Ebola cases is more than
1,7oo, with 932 deaths, making this
the worst Ebola outbreak in history.
One outstanding feature of eorts
to save lives has been the response by
the West. The United States Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention,
for example, has sent 60 of its best
scientists to West Africa. The World
Bank has pledged $150 million (Sh13
billion), and the British Parliament
spared time to discuss the crisis.
The African Unions silence and
failure to mobilise resources from
the continent to complement eorts
by the West is worrying. Its time the
AU developed a response plan bet-
ting the African factors contributing
to the spread of the disease.
It would be better if indigenous
organisations were largely involved
in using the $60 million (Sh5 billion)
contributed by the African Develop-
ment Bank towards containing the
scourge. The situation points to our
weak disaster response plans. The
disease caught everyone by surprise
because most Ebola outbreaks occur
in Central Africa, where it originated.

AUs silence amid Ebola
outbreak is worrying
The waiver on examination regis-
tration fees for candidates in Class
Eight and Form Four is a move in
the right direction.
It will save us the sad news of
many bright but poor children who
leave school without any academic
documents.
But this generosity may be abused
unless checks are put in place. This
calls for proper collection of candi-
dates data to avoid schools inating
the numbers.
Schools should also open accounts
with the examining body where the
government will deposit the money
to avoid headteachers coming into
contact with it.

LETTING CAT OUT OF THE BAG:
When playing chess, one does not
explain to their opponent the rst
move, the tactical strategy and, ul-
timately, how they will execute the
checkmate manoeuvre. I nd it
absurd that policemen reveal the
names and exact location captured
terrorists are held, the units ght-
ing them (ATPU, GSU, SCPU) and
the equipment they use. The police
should just keep tightlipped about
everything. No amount of Israeli
training can triumph over good old
fashioned common sense.

OUTERING HELL: I live near and
drive on Outering Road in Embakasi,
Nairobi. I also drive on Mombasa
and Mbagathi roads and the contrast
is there for all to see. Outering is hell
compared to the two other roads. It
makes me wonder who is in charge
of this road which is potholed and
lled with stones in equal measure.
I came to this area three years ago
and have rarely seen the road being
repaired. Who will save us from this
nightmare? We used to hear a song
in 2013 that the road would be built
afresh. When will this be?

THE LAW IS AN ASS: Sometimes
written law seems to be against natu-
ral law. This was the case when the
electoral commission last Thursday
declared Mr Moses Kuria the win-
ner for the Gatundu South Parlia-
mentary seat, in an exercise where
there were no contestants. When one
is given something on a silver plat-
ter, one cannot be said to be a win-
ner. It follows that Mr Kuria cannot
boast to have been democratically
elected; he did not compete with an-
yone. Where theres no competition,
democracy is under threat.
JUSTIN N NKARANGA, Mombasa
SECURE OUR BORDERS: It is un-
fortunate that terrorists are still able
to sneak into the country through
our porous border towns such as
Kiunga in Lamu County. With such
carelessness, corruption and laxity,
then we should not expect the war
against terror to succeed in any logi-
cal way. There is no reason why we
should have the army in Somalia
while our Kenyan borders remain
poorly manned, only for terrorists to
enter and cause havoc in the coun-
try. The government should start by
securing the border to ensure crimi-
nals do not enter the country.

The County Government of Baringo relies on payments made by residents of this County
to finance development projects in the wards and to provide services such as health, road
construction, maintenance and street lighting among others.
All residents are therefore expected to meet their civic obligation by making payments for
the respective activities that they engage in. To ensure compliance with this requirement,
the County Government of Baringo intends to commence inspection in all premises within
its jurisdiction to confirm payment compliance with all the County dues. Enforcement actions
including prosecution as per the stipulated laws for each payment will follow where non
compliance is detected.
In this regard therefore, the County Government wishes to inform all residents, property
owners, business owners (including Pharmacists, Chemists, Law Firms) and the general
public to pay all the requisite County dues which include land rates, plot rent, single
business permits, signage, bill boards and advertisement, building plans, health and medical
certificates promptly to avoid the consequences that will arise from non-compliance.
All payments may be made in Bankers cheques payable to Baringo County Government or
Deposit to Baringo County Revenue Account upon obtaining an official invoice from County
Revenue Offices in Towns and the different Sub County Head Quarters.
Account Name : Baringo County Revenue Collection Account
Bank : Kenya Commercial Bank
Account Number : 1141231549
Bank slips for all payments made at the bank should be immediately forwarded to the
County Revenue Offices, Town Revenue Officers and Sub county Revenue Officers for
issuance of official receipts and permits.

Fear grips hospitals sta
as cash crunch persists
BY MOSES ODHIAMBO
@AliwaMoses
[email protected]
D
octors are blaming poor
management by county gov-
ernments for the cash crisis
that has hit hospitals in Western
Kenya.
Kenya Medical Practitioners and
Dentists Union (KPDMU) yesterday
threatened to withdraw their mem-
bers services if the situation is not
addressed.
The union said health workers have
not been paid their salaries, adding
that most hospitals lack essential
drugs, disposable surgical equipment
and reagents in the laboratories.
The medics said sending patients
to conduct laboratory tests in pri-
vate hospitals, at their own cost,
is reversing the gains made in the
health sector.
The doctors union listed Jaramogi
Teaching and Referral Hospital in
Kisumu as the most aected in the
region. However, the hospitals Medi-
cal superintendent Dr Juliana Otieno
denied the claim.
None of our operations have been
aected because of lack of cash. We
only advise patients to buy drugs that
we do not have in our pharmacy, Dr
Otieno said.
KPDMU Vice Chairman Dr Vitalis
Ogola dismissed claims by the hos-
pitals which insisted that there is no
problem.
Hospitals can no longer make
decisions to buy materials for their
use since all the money is in a central
account run by the county govern-
ment, Dr Ogola said.
He said the lengthy procedures of
procurement aect the handling of
emergencies.
We have cases where hospitals
cannot even buy fuel. Some hospi-
tal employees have not been paid
salaries for the last three months,
Dr Ogola said.
Counties such as Kisii, Siaya,
Kisumu, Kakamega, Busia are all af-
fected. Currently, it is only Nairobi
that is doing well, he said.
Kenya Progressive Nurses Asso-
ciation (KPNA) Chairman Thaddeus
Mayaka said the poor coordination
between national and county govern-
ments is making the situation worse.
He said that the health workers in-
herited by county governments have
not been given letters of appointment
by the assemblies, thereby limiting
their bargaining power.
Health workers are still under the
Public Service Commission. We do
not know who we are accountable to,
Mr Mayaka said.
He said there are no laid down
procedures for devolution of health,
leading to the haphazard issuance of
directives to workers.
He gave the county governments
until Wednesday to sort out the issue
of salaries or they resort to industrial
action.
Chairman of the Health Commit-
tee in the Council of Governors Jack
Ranguma said they were considering
ways of making the health sector more
vibrant. He said the counties have
agreed on a joint healthcare plan to
be implemented.
Health centres in the
counties are grappling
with lack of drugs to
treat patients as well
as money for salaries
MORE INFORMATION
Governor says new
work plan in pipeline
Health Committee Chairman
in the Council of Governors, Jack
Ranguma, agrees that there is a
problem in the health sector inher-
ited during devolution of services.
The Kisumu Governor said
implementation of a joint county
healthcare plan will assure employ-
ees of a stable salary cycle as well
as a safer working environment.
He told aected hospitals that
lack equipment to work with their
respective county governments to
tackle the problem. Mr Ranguma
urged hospitals to plan ahead
instead of making requisition for
supplies at the last minute.

Assembly uses Sh300m to
revamp battered rural roads
The county government has upgraded 2,000
kilometres of rural roads at a cost of Sh300 million.
Governor Joseph Ndathi said they were renovated
to all weather status. He said this will ease farmers
transportation of their produce to the market.
The roads were in a pathetic condition. They were
impassable during rainy seasons, he told the Press
in Kutus Town yesterday. Mr Ndathi said farmers
have been incurring heavy losses because their
produce could not reach the market in good time.
In the past, when it rained, crops rotted in the
farms, dealing a big blow to the farmers, he said.
On education, the governor said that the county
assembly has employed 400 nursery school teachers
who will earn Sh10,000 a month. Sixty toilets for
Early Childhood Development schools have also
been constructed. George Munene

Governor urges residents to
back proposed referundum
Governor Salim Mvurya has asked residents to
support the push for a referendum by the Council of
Governors. Speaking at Maledi during the opening
of Kwale County Assembly Speakers house, Mr
Mvurya said the national government lacked
goodwill to ensure that devolution succeeds. He
said that governors are ghting for counties to get
adequate funding. Counties cannot be run without
sucient money. We are surprised by the decision
by the National Government to hold back over
Sh100 billion meant for development, he said. Mr
Mvuryas remarks were backed by Kasemeni Ward
Representative Antony Yama who said that counties
are being denied cash. Mr Yama said what they want
is an allocation of 45 per cent which will ensure that
the county governments get a budget of Sh20 billion
each year. Farouk Mwabege

BY MUCHIRI
GITONGA
Communities living in Laikipia
North and parts of Isiolo County
are circumcising pre-school age
girls to circumvent the anti-fe-
male genital mutilation law.
They have also stopped con-
ducting elaborate ceremonies
during the rite to avoid being
detected, a workshop for admin-
istrators and law enforcers was
told.
Perpetrators of FGM now un-
derstand the law, said Ms Jane
Meriwas, the coordinator of Sam-
buru Women Trust.
Involving chiefs
They are now conducting the
rite on girls who are as young as
six years old so that by the time
they join school they are already
cut.
The three-day workshop aims
at involving chiefs and police
bosses in the region in combating
the practice.
Ms Meriwas said many teenage
girls had become aware of their
rights and were resisting circum-
cision.
As a result, some parents were
targeting younger ones, she told
the meeting.
In some areas, chiefs had abet-
ted the practice, according to the
activist. She urged the admin-
istrators to lead by example in
ghting female circumcision.
Laikipia County Commissioner
Wilson Wanyanga said the anti-
FGM Act must be obeyed and
enforced in the region to protect
girls.
He said administrators who fail
to prevent the rite would face the

Bid to save
forests from
illegal settlers
stepped up
BY BARNABAS BII
The government has started re-
claiming water towers from illegal
settlers.
The Kenya Forest Services (KFS)
is to spearhead the rehabilitation
of Embobut Forest in Elgeyo Ma-
rakwet after removing more than
15,000 settlers.
The trespassers, who have plun-
dered more than 16,000 hectares of
forest land, were given about Sh1.2
billion to buy alternative land.
North Rift KFS head of conserv-
ancy Solomon Mibey said saving
Embobut Forest would involve
planting trees on 7,000 hectares.
Four million trees
About four million trees will be
planted in the rst phase that in-
volves the community, he said.
Mr Mibey also said 25,000 hec-
tares of forest in the North Rift
had illegal settlements, including
250 schools.
Elgeyo Marakwet County is the
most aected, with highest number
of schools, social amenities and
households.
Mr Mibey named the Mau Com-
plex, Trans Mara, Ol Pusimoru,
Cherangany/Kabolet and Maasai
Mau as some of the forests in
Rift Valley faced with destruction
through illegal settlement.

Parents protest at religious discrimination of students
BY PHOEBE OKALL
Parents demonstrated on Saturday
against alleged discrimination of Mus-

School.
Led by the Supreme Council of
Kenyan Muslims branch chairman
Mohamed Abdulkadir, the parents,
said the school had disallowed the
wearing of headscarfs.
They also wanted female students
to wear loose trousers as part of their
uniform.
Mr Abdulkadir called on the Na-
tional Government to devolve the
education sector since schools touch
directly on the dierent communities
on the ground.
County governments understand
the cultures and religious values of
various communities and would help
in the smooth-running of schools. We
dont want religious conicts here.
Mr Abdulkadir said Muslims made
up 80 per cent of the population of
schools in the county and they should
be accorded their rights.
The Muslim League Association
chair Ismail Kirimi said the students
were being harassed by being forced
to sing Christian songs.

Senate to
debate Bill
on scrapping
tea taxes
BY EVERLINE OKEWO
[email protected]
AND TIMOTHY KEMEI
[email protected]
A
Bill to compel the gov-
ernment to scrap all tea
levies is to be tabled in
the House in two weeks.
If it sails through, the Bill
will see all the 42 levies abol-
ished.
It is a proposal of Kisii Sena-
tor Chris Obure.
Our aim to ensure farmers
get reasonable payments that
equal the work done on farms,
Mr Obure told the Nation by
phone yesterday.
There is concern by leaders
in tea-growing areas that the
sector is collapsing because of
the excess levies the farmers
are charged.
Kericho Governor Paul
Chepkwony said tea growers
were some of the most dis-
criminated against farmers
in Kenya.
To add to the many lev-
ies, the situation has been
made worse by poor prices in
the world market, said Prof
Chepkwony.
Among the taxes being de-
ducted include the tea cess.
Kericho tea farmer Evans
Kemboi expressed his frus-
trations. These deductions
are then directed to the main-
tenance of roads yet county
governments have taken up
that responsibility, he said.
Meanwhile, former Law
Society of Kenya Rift Valley
branch chairman Kipkoech
Ngetich yesterday threat-
ened to go to court to ensure
residents of tea-growing
areas were given priority in
bidding for farms
owned by multi-
national rms once
their leases expire.
The advocate,
who is from Bureti constitu-
ency Kericho, said indigenous
population in tea-growing
counties had never been given
an opportunity to decide how
the plantations should be
utilised.
They have a right to say
how the land, forcefully taken
away from them by colonialists,
should be used. The land must
revert to them when the leases
expire, he said.
There are claims that some
of the leases of the land owned
by mutinationals could expire
before the end of this year.
Inuential politicians and tea
rms are said to be eyeing the
parcels of land.
At the same time, Mr
Ngetich urged MCAs and
county governments to pass
and implement laws that
would enable full devolution
of agriculture.
Mr Ngetich decried the poor
management of the tea industry
and called for the takeover of
the sector by counties. He said
mismanagement in the sector
was the reason for massive
losses by farmers.
MCAs should enact legisla-
tion that will bring regulation
and control of the industry
closer home so that tea farmers
can get prots, he said.
He called on the government
to seek more international mar-
kets for Kenyan tea, arguing
that this would go a long way to
stabilise global tea prices and
give farmers more assurance
that there was adequate market
for their crop.
County governments have taken up
functions of what the levies were
supposed to do, argues Kisii senator
Kericho | Farmers denied prots

ies, the situation has

Muturi disowns
law on senators
role in boards
BY DENNIS LUBANGA

[email protected]
AND JOHN SHILITSA
[email protected]
T
he National Assembly yesterday
distanced itself from a contro-
versial law that puts senators
at the helm of County Development
Boards.
Speaker Justin Muturi absolved
MPs from blame over the enact-
ment of County Development Act
which was assented to by President
Uhuru Kenyatta recently.
Mr Muturi said the Bill putting
senators in control of the CBDs had
been rejected by the lawmakers only
to be sneaked in the House again by
the Senate through backdoor.
He said he would approve any
amendments to the Act in case it
was brought back to the house.
The Speaker, who was raising
funds for Eluche Secondary School
in Mumias, said the National Assem-
bly was not in any way undermining
devolution and called on leaders and
Kenyans in general to jealously uphold
and protect devolution as enshrined
in the Constitution.
He was accompanied by MPs Victor
Manyika (Machakos Town), Bernard
Shinali (Ikolomani), Johnson Naicca
(Mumias West), Emanuel Wangwe
(Navakholo), Dan Wanyama (Webuye
West) and nominated MPs Patrick
Wangamati and Hassan Osman.
Also present was host MP Benjamin
Washiali (Mumias East) and Mumias
ACK diocese Bishop Beneah Salala.
The harambee raised Sh1.8 mil-
lion.
The legislators said putting sena-
tors in control of the boards could
scuttle the smooth implementation of
development projects in counties.
The boards are relevant but must
be allowed to use certain criteria in
picking chairmen instead of putting
them under the senators, said Mr
Wangwe.
Mr Washiali said putting senators in
control of county development boards
could be a recipe for chaos.
The MPs comments came as the
push for national referendum by
governors gathered pace across the
country. The governors are demanding
that budgetary allocation for coun-
ties be increased to 45 per cent of the
national Budget.
Yesterday, some Members of
County Assemblies allied to the
Jubilee and Cord coalitions from
North Rift closed ranks and resolved
to drum up support for the national
referendum.
The MCAs, the majority from
Jubilee, said they would rally their
supporters and collect more than
two million signatures that would
compel the National Government to
conduct a referendum.
MPs had rejected Bill
but it was sneaked
back in the House by
senators, he says
Kakamega | Legislators now oppose law
They say giving senators over-
sight in the County Development
Boards, reduces them to mere
minutes takers whereas they are
in charge of development in the
region.
They have termed the enactment
of the CDB Act as an exercise
aimed at scuttling devolution by
denying governors a chance to
implement their development
agenda.

Police in Kisumu have recovered four
out of 12 school visitors books required
for a Supreme Court case against Nyando
MP Fred Outa (left).
Kisumu Administration Police assist-
ant commandant Gradus Atinda told the
Nation yesterday that they had recovered
books from Kano, Luora, Awasi and Yogo
primary schools.
This follows a High Court order issued
on Wednesday last week,
Mr Outas rival, Mr Jared Okelo, applied
for police help in getting the books, which
he needs to back his claim at the Supreme
Court that Mr Outa used Constituency
Development Fund (CDF) cheque dis-
bursements as a campaign tool before
last years General Election.
Mr Okelo is pushing to have the highest
court review its July decision to conrm
Mr Outa as the MP.
He formally presented the wish to
have the judgment reviewed before Mr
Justice Mohammed Ibrahim on July 25,
after which he was ordered to amend his
papers and serve Mr Outa before the case
proceeds.
According to his memorandum to the
Supreme Court, its seven-judge bench
needs to rethink its nding that Mr Outa
was not a party to the distribution of CDF
cheques during the campaign period.
The CDF issue had convinced the Court
of Appeal to nullify Mr Outas election be-
fore the highest court reinstalled him.

Mr Tumbo spoke after meeting

Mr Tumbo who is in charge of
licensing bars, pubs and casinos
asked police to be serious in their
work and arrest those outing rules.
He said four Mombasa residents
had died while three others were
blind as a result of consuming
toxic drinks.
Whoever made and sold the
alcohol must be apprehended and
made to face the full force of the
law. Since when did bars become
killing elds? he asked.
He said county officers had
started a crackdown on the bars
and vetting had intensied.
The executive said the law was
clear with regard to selling of
alcohol.
Bars should be open from 5pm
and close at 11pm on weekdays
and 2pm to 11pm on weekends,
he said.
Meanwhile, police in Likoni
yesterday arrested 10 people
found drinking at around 9am in
dierent bars.
The officers said they would
conduct the swoop until the area
was rid o illicit alcohol.
Likoni Deputy OCPD Anthony
Lidabalia asked those affected
by the toxic spirit called Meakis
Vokda to seek medical attention
immediately.
He said mushrooming bars
remained a serious challenge to
the police.
He added that the distributor
of the killer alcohol had been ar-
rested and was helping police with
investigations. The owner of the bar
where the victims took the drinks
is still at large.
We are following leads and will

to be replicated in their counties, the

Church leaders warned against
selling oils to their members
BY BENSON MATHEKA
Church leaders have been
told to stop manipulating
their congregations by using
unorthodox means of making
money.
Archbishop Arthur Kitonga
(left) of the Redeemed Gospel
Church said leaders should
not burden their members by
selling oils, stones and other
things.
He was speaking at Springs
of Life Church in Makindu,
Makueni County on Saturday
during the ordination of Bishop
Japheth Munyao Mbune.
We ask the servants of
God to serve the people with
integrity, humility and faith-
fulness. The church should
encourage members to serve
God by giving tithes and free
will oerings according to the
Bible but not by unorthodox
means, he said.
The bishop also urged
politicians to lower political
temperatures by preaching
peace.
We should always pray for
peace and tranquillity to prevail
in our nation. The terrorism
that is causing the deaths of
innocent Kenyans must end,
he said.
Archbishop Kitonga also
appealed to the Government
to ensure that Kenyans enjoy
peace regardless of status,
gender or tribe.
Kenya is one nation. We
advise our leaders that the
time for politicking is over
and it is time to develop our
nation, he said.
The bishop warned that
politics will not be allowed in
the church.
It is important to note
that the time of politics is
over. This is a season for in-
tense preaching of the gospel
to redeem lost souls and help
the poor, the needy and the
impoverished in our midst,
he said.

Directors of the now defunct

Agriculture Cabinet Secretary of
appointing eight directors to a new
agency without following the law.
Speaking to the Nation at the
weekend, former KSB director
representing Mumias sugar zone
Billy Wanjala said Mr Felix Koskei
should have allowed farmers to
elect representatives to the new
Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Authority (AFFA) instead of il-

We call upon the CS to rescind
the decision and facilitate elections
that will let farmers participate
directly, said the former KSB
director.
Completing term
According to Mr Wanjala, the
ministry agreed with the outgoing
KSB directors that they will be
retained as technical directors in
the eight new directorates for the
remaining period of their three-
year-term.
He said those appointed were
civil servants and cannot rep-
resent the interests of farmers
eectively. Mr Wanjala said the
minister was supposed to facilitate
the elections rst before constitut-
ing the new board.
Mr Koskei unveiled the various
directorates under AFFA that will
take over from the current regula-
tors including the Kenya Sugar
Board and Pyrethrum Development
Authority and went ahead to name
their bosses. The minister said the
move was long overdue.

region, which he said was dampening
the morale of other members of the
party who feel that they have been
abandoned.
We need to speak the truth even
though it is very painful. ODM is for
all of us. Why is it that only some
people are allowed to communicate
with the party top brass. We will not
leave the party but we will speak our
mind. We cannot keep quiet while
the party we so like is getting it all
wrong, he said.
However, when he rose to speak,
Leaders allege that a
few party members
were stopping others
from speaking out
We will not
move out of
ODM. This
is a party
that we are
all loyal to.
Unfortu-
nately,
some

that they
are superior

MP Mustapha
Iddi
Cod leader Raila Odinga urged ODM
politicians who do not have the party
at heart to decide where they stood.
Mr Odinga gave an example of an
Argentina footballer who while playing
against Germany scores in his own
goal every time he gets the ball.
You are playing against Germany.
Donned in an Argentina shirt, you get
the ball and head to your own goal
and score. You do that several times.
What kind of a player are you? We
can only clap for you when you score
against Germany, said the former
Prime Minister amid laughter from
residents.
Rabai MP William Kamoti said that
the coast region will always remain
an ODM zone and those who disa-
greed with this had to wait for the
2017 General Election when the true
picture will emerge.
Addressing Mr Odinga directly,
he said:
We are all in ODM and you can see
that from the attendance at this burial.
The coast region is still Corded and
will remain so until 2017. Come that
time and you will go to State House.
That is what we are all praying for
even as you seat here.
Kili Deputy Governor Kennedy
Kamto said Cord members must re-
main united because there are many
goodies on the way for them as a
reward for their persistence.
The Raila you see here is no nor-
mal person. He has a good heart no
other Kenyan leader has ever had. He
has stood with the lowly person in the
village. He understands what leader-
ship means and pray that in 2017, we
will be see him in State House, said
Mr Kamto.

G
overnor Cleophas Lagat has
grand plans to re up the
economy of Nandi County
and make it one of the best man-
aged in the country.
His government will build
a Sh2 billion university the
Koitalel Samoei University and
renovate Kapsabet Stadium at a
cost Sh800 million.
Dr Lagat said the county
government had been given the
go-ahead by the Commission for
Higher Education to build the rst
public university on the 600 acres
occupied by Samoei High School
in Nandi Hills Town.
He said polytechnics would be
built in each of the 30 wards.
The county will also provide
piped water in the 30 wards.
The water project will cost
Sh350 mi l l i on and wi l l be
completed by 2017, said Dr
Lagat.
The revamped stadium is ex-
pected to be used in the promotion
of youth talent.
Nandi is well known for
producing great athletes. Lead-
ers have come and gone with
false promises of improving this
stadium.
The county government has
already started construction
work.
I assure the public that they
will soon start enjoying the fruits of
devolution. The Nandi County Inte-
grated Development Strategic Plan
compiled by Prof Haroun Mengich
will be implemented to the letter.
The county is set to have essential
facilities which have been ignored
since 1963, said Dr Lagat.
Kapsabet Hospital, he further
disclosed, would be upgraded to
a referral hospital at cost of Sh2.6
billion and donors had agreed to
support the facility.
The governor promised to
tackle unemployment in the
county by luring more local and
foreign investors to establish
industries.
Eradicating illegal brews is also
a top priority of the governor. Dr
Lagat said if a Bill on alcoholic
drinks was passed in the county
assembly, nes of up to Sh10 mil-
lion would be slapped on traders
selling toxic brews.
It is unfortunate that the
county has lost more than 20
people to alcohol while another
50 were admitted to hospital after
drinking poisonous brews.
Farmers were urged to add
value to their produce to get
better returns.
Dr Lagat criticised the recently
signed Bill giving senators more
powers, arguing that it would cre-
ate conict between senators and
governors.
I will stick to the mandate
given to me by the electorate,
Dr Lagat declared.
Lagat reveals grand plans to
make Nandi the best region

that they will soon
start enjoying the fruits of

Heavy rains
spell disaster
for farmers
BY BARNABAS BII
Heavy rains accompanied by
hailstones and whirlwinds are
the latest threat to North Rift
maize farmers who yet to recover
from the recent heavy losses they
incurred following the attack of
lethal necrosis disease.
Wheat farmers have also re-
ported signs of diseases and pests
due to the heavy rains pounding
the region.
Add to misery
We are worried that the heavy
rainfall will add to the misery of
high cost of production in terms
of pest control, said Mr Patrick
Kemboi, a Moiben wheat farmer.
The floods and hailstones
spell disaster for us, said Mr
Isaac Kibogy of Sergoit, Uasin
Gishu County.
The Meteorological Department
had earlier warned of unpredict-
able patterns during the long rains.
It has also warned of the likelihood
of El Nino in parts of the country
due to the warmer than average sea
surface temperatures in June.
Wheat is the second most important
cereal after maize in terms of produc-
tion and consumption but the trend is
changing as more farmers diversify to
more protable investment.

LOSS OF LIVES

MADRID, Sunday
A
Spanish priest infected
with Ebola will be treated
with an experimental drug
that has been used on two Ameri-
cans infected with the deadly
virus, the government said.
The drug called ZMapp arrived
at Madrids La Paz-Carlos III
hospital where the 75-year-old
missionary was being treated
in isolation, the health minis-
try said in a statement late on
Saturday.
Spains drug safety agency
allowed the exceptional im-
portation of ZMapp under
a law that allows the use of
non-authorised medications in
cases where a patents life is in
danger and they cant be treated
satisfactorily with an authorised
medication, it said.
The Roman Catholic priest,
Miguel Pajares, was one of
three people who tested posi-
tive for Ebola at the Saint Joseph
Hospital in the Liberian capital
Monrovia where he worked.
He was brought back to
Spain on Thursday on a medi-
cally equipped Spanish airforce
plane, the rst patient in the
fast-spreading Ebola outbreak
to be evacuated to Europe for
treatment.
Spanish health authorities
said on Thursday the priest
was in a stable condition. The
hospital is not providing medi-
cal updates for the missionary
at his request.
The military flight also
evacuated Spanish nun Juliana
Bonoha Bohe, 65, who worked
at the same hospital as Pajares
in Liberia and who was found
not to have Ebola.
The Spanish charity Pajares
worked for, the Hospitaller
Brothers of St. John of God,
had asked Madrid to bring to
Spain for treatment two Afri-
can missionaries infected with
Ebola who also worked at the
hospital but the request was
turned down. One of those two
missionaries, a Congolese nun,
died on Saturday due to Ebola,
the charity said.
Meanwhile, Nigeria appealed
for volunteers to help halt the
spread of the virus but Guinea
went back on a statement it was
shutting its land borders with
two of its neighbours.
A day after the World Health
Organization declared the epi-
demic an international health
emergency, countries as far
aeld as India were scrambling
to impose measures to prevent
contagion of the virus which has
claimed almost 1,000 lives.
The UN health agency stopped
short of calling for global travel
restrictions, but some countries
on Saturday began imposing
bans.
Zambia announced that it was
denying entry to citizens from
countries hit by the virus, while
Chad suspended all ights from
Nigeria.
Nigeria along with Guinea,
Sierra Leone and Liberia are
the hardest hit countries by
the epidemic, which the WHO
has called the worst in four
decades.
In another development, a
Nigerian man who was quaran-
tined after he showed Ebola-like
symptoms while travelling to
Hong Kong has tested negative
for the deadly virus.
The southern Chinese city
government said in a statement
late today that the man, 32, had
tested negative for Ebola virus
upon preliminary laboratory test-
ing. (AFP)

Mugabes
wife accepts
party post
BY KITSEPILE NYATHI
NATION Correspondent
HARARE, Sunday

Zimbabwe President Robert
Mugabes wife has accepted the
nomination to lead the ruling
partys women wing saying she
is ready to slug it out in politics.
First Lady Grace Mugabe told
Zanu PF youths that it was now
up her husband whether she
would join the partys top decision
making body, the politburo.
This position (secretary of
womens league) is up to the
president and rst secretary of
the party to choose a suitable
candidate, she said.
I have committed myself to
work with you..I will talk to your
leadership, but I am very strict. I
will be with you to ensure that your
concerns are addressed.
Mrs Mugabes entry into politics
has spawned speculation that she
intends to succeed the 90 year-
old leader who has been in power
since 1980.
The outgoing leader of the
Zanu PFs womens league Oppah
Muchinguri has said she pushed
for the First Ladys nomination to
stem factionalism in the party.
Zanu PF is reportedly divided
into two factions loyal to Vice
President Joice Mujuru and
Justice minister Emmerson
Mngangagwa who are said to be
angling for the leadership of the
party in case President Mugabe
decides to retire.
Ms Mujuru has not commented
about Mrs Mugabes entry into
politics amid reports that her
relationship with the veteran ruler
is now strained because of the uid
succession battle in Zanu PF.

KHARTOUM, Sunday
S
outh Sudans rebel leader Riek
Machar held talks with Sudans
President Omar al-Bashir today as
a deadline passed to end months of civil
war in the South.
Mr Machar is on his rst visit to Khar-
toum since December when his forces
and those loyal to President Salva Kiir
began the war which three ceaseres have
failed to end. There has been growing in-
ternational condemnation of the ghting
which has killed thousands of people and
uprooted more than 1.5 million.
We have a long history together, Mr
Machar said after brieng Bashir about
peace talks in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, led by
the East African regional block IGAD.
There are some problems in the
negotiations, he told reporters, citing
disagreements over whether talks should
occur directly with the government or in-
volve broader representation.
An IGAD deadline for rebel and govern-
ment forces to agree on a power-sharing
deal and implement a ceasere expired on
Sunday. Machar said his visit to Khartoum
follows trips to other IGAD member na-
tions, Djibouti and Kenya. In May, Machar
held talks in Nairobi with Kenyan President
Uhuru Kenyatta.
Stop-start peace talks which began in
January ocially resumed on Monday in
the Ethiopian capital, but the two sides
failed to meet for the rest of the week.
On Saturday, Ethiopias foreign ministry,
which is hosting and helping to mediate
the talks, announced the launch of talks
once again.
Talks will focus on signing a cessation of
hostilities agreement after three previ-
ous deals have collapsed as well as on
discussing a transitional government of
national unity, the ministry sa
Today, the people of South Sudan ex-
pected a political agreement that would
deliver a transitional government to steer
them out of conict, Oxfams South Sudan
director Tariq Riebl said in a statement
Sunday. Instead, the leaders of South
Sudan have failed to set aside their dif-
ferences, and ghting continues to ravage
the country as a famine looms.
The UN Security Council threatened on
Friday to slap sanctions on leaders, ahead
of a South Sudan visit by its ambassadors
next week. (AFP)

TEHRAN, Sunday
A
n Iranian passenger
plane crashed today
moments after takeo
from Tehran, killing at least
38 on board and narrowly
avoiding many more deaths
when it plummeted near a
busy market.
The plane was headed to
the eastern city of Tabas,
the IRNA and Fars news
agencies said, when it
crashed at 9.18 am after
leaving Mehrabad airport.
It triggered a reball when
it smashed into the capitals
Azadi neighbourhood, close
to where hundreds of military
families live, and only a few
hundred metres from a row
of shops.
Irans deputy transport
minister, Ahmad Majidi,
said the Antonov An-140
turboprop plane had 40
passengers, including six
children, and eight crew on
board, and he put the death
toll at 38.
A re ocial initially said
all on board had been killed
but Fars later reported that
37 bodies were sent to the
morgue and IRNA said nine
people were hospitalised, two
of them critically injured.
The aircraft was operated
by Sepahan Airlines and a

It could have been

by a big reball
dolphin logo could be seen
sticking out of the road as
security forces cordoned
off the crash site where
firefighters had doused
the ames.
Black smoke billowed
from the mass of burnt
out twisted metal, with
ocials saying the plane
hit a wall and trees.
The scene was terrible,
with the back of the plane
in the middle of the street,
one eyewitness said.
But we were lucky be-
cause there was a market
500 metres away and a lot
of people were there.
Another eyewitness told
state television: I was on
my motorbike and I heard
something behind me. I
turned round and it was
a plane, so I got on to the
ground because it was so
close.
With other people, we
ran to try and save the pas-
sengers but there were two
or three loud explosions
and a huge re. (AFP)

R
esidents and commuters
in and to the US capital
had a taste of what Afri-
cans go through whenever their
Excellencies are conducting
business in any town.
Thats because 50 African
heads of state and govern-
ments, entourages in tow,
were in Washington D.C. at
President Barak Obamas invi-
tation. Hence, some roads were
closed to the public, parking
restricted, and transportation
routes changed.
The Africans, who included
the African Union chief, were
attending a three-day, and a
rst, US-Africa Summit be-
ginning Monday. Such summit
idea isnt a product of Yankee
know-how.
India, Japan and the Euro-
pean Union have convened
them. China has perfected the
art. Beginning 2000, China has
had several. The payback tells
the rest of the story.
At the venue the guest
exchanged ideas with US of-
ficials, legislators, business
executives, and donors. Pre-
sumably to maintain an aura
of equal partnership and
mutual respect, other than
during photo-ops, President
Obama met the Excellencies
as a group. One-on-on encoun-
ters were out.
In the past such gatherings
would be dominated by such
issues as human rightsgalore
abuses in Africademocracy,
governance, and US aid.
This time the emphasis was
on how the US and African
governments can assist, by
formulating policies, busi-
ness people and entities on
both sides make money on an
all-win basis.
Two obvious observations:
One, the idea of US aid as an
instrument of development was
on the back burner. Two, the
Chinas mantra on investment
in Africa, No questions asked,
was in vogue.
China overtook the US
That has done well for China.
In 2009, China overtook the
US as the largest trading part-
ner with the African continent.
As a second largest world
economy, its share is $200
billion. The largest, world
economy, the US, boasts of a
paltry $85 billion.
In short, China is winning
in whats turning out to be
another scramble for Africa,
by peaceful means, of course.
Theres a great deal to be had
in the continent. Its endowed
with resources and elements
that attract business people:
growing economies, rising
middle class and a large and
young population.
In 2012, according to the
International Monetary Funds,
eight of the worlds 20 fastest
growing economies were in
sub-Sahara Africa. The aver-
age growth this year is forecast
at 6.4 per cent and 5.8 next
year.
Additionally, as US Secretary
of State John Kerry noted,
there are 700 people in Africa
under the age of 30, ...a stag-
gering youth bulge unknown
at any time on the face of this
planet. With wise investments
in health, education, food secu-
rity, infrastructure, el al, thats a
phenomenal future market.
On departure, the Africans
got promises of $17 billion in
investments. It isnt much for
a continents estimated popu-
lation of 1.111 billion last year,
even considering the US sup-
ports other programs.
While the US has signalled
being back in African business,
whats next. In a last months
interview with The Economist,
Obama said the more the mer-
rier on foreign investments in
Africa. But people should ben-
et and roads shouldnt just
lead from mine, to the port, to
Shanghai.
He might as well have also
said New York. Ultimately,
though African leaders will
have to make more the mer-
rier for their people from the
investment.

Erdogan eyes victory in Turkish polls
ISTANBUL, Sunday
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was
set to triumph in Sundays presidential elections
and extend his domination of Turkey despite
warnings by opponents that the country is mov-
ing towards a one-man autocracy.
Mr Erdogan, 60, a devout Muslim who has
served as premier since 2003, has promised to be
a powerful president with a beefed-up mandate,
in contrast to the ceremonial role fullled by his
recent predecessors. The polls are the rst time
Turkey is directly electing its president, who
was previously chosen by parliament.
Initial reports from polling stations where
AFP correspondents saw a thin turnout indi-
cated participation could be signicantly lower
than the 89 percent seen in Marchs local elec-
tions. Opinion polls predict that Erdogan will
easily win more than 50 per cent of votes to
take Ankaras Cankaya presidential palace in
the rst round. (AFP)

ommercial Bank earnings
in the rst half of the year
have pushed up stock
market performance above the
5,000-point psychological mark
in the last one week.
Giant lenders such as Kenya
Commercial Bank and Equity
Bank have witnessed a lot of
investor activity seeing the
NSE 20-Share Index, which
tracks the largest counters by
market capitalisation, hit new
highs. The two counters also
attracted the highest inows.
This saw the NSE 20-Share
Index cross the 5,000-point
mark last Tuesday and close
the week at 5003.78.
On Thursday, Equity Bank
recorded the second highest
transaction volumes on the bank-
ing counter. Just a fortnight ago,
the lender announced a Sh7.7 bil-
lion net prot.
According to NIC Securities
senior analyst Samuel Gichohi,
investor interest in the better
performing financial services
industry has led to improved per-
formance of the market. This is
however, at the detriment of the
poorly performing counters such
as Home Afrika, Mumias Sugar
and Eveready among others,
which have instead displayed a
poor show at the Nairobi Securi-
ties Exchange.
Performance announcements
in the banking sector have
seen demand shifting to those
counters, Mr Gichohi noted.
This has partly contributed to
the rally on those stocks.
Following a Sh8.1 billion
profit after tax performance,
KCB topped the performers
list and also attracted the larg-
est net inows of Sh1.2 billion
($14 million) for two weeks
running.
KCB touched a new 52-week
high of Sh60 buoyed by foreign
investor buying at some point
on Friday. The counter, however,
retreated to Sh54 on prot taking
by local investors.
Noticeable price gains were
witnessed across most counters,
with the banking sector leading
the winning spree, analysts at
Sterling Capital said.
The rally that began two weeks
ago, saw foreign investors par-
ticipating actively on the large
cap counters making purchases
especially from local prot tak-
ers. Market capitalisation stood
at Sh2.17 trillion at the end of
last week.
On the contrary, Sameer Africa
led the losers pack with inves-
tors expressing disappointment
in the rst half of 2014 earnings.
Barclays and Kenya Re are
expected to release half-year
earnings August 12 and August
15 respectively.
Most banking stocks were
bullish with the exception of
Barclays, CFC, Equity and
StanChart. Equity, Co-op and
Barclays also elicited foreign
participation that was heavily
inclined towards the buy side,
Standard Investment Bank ana-
lysts noted.

Business leaders and chief execu-
tives from the East African region
have been recognised. The awards
by South African magazine, CEO
Communications, saw Dr Manilal
Chandaria, chairman of Comcraft
group named country and regional
winner in the manufacturing and
engineering category.
Dr Chandaria also scooped the
Lifetime Achievement prize for
memorable contributions, which
should be passed on to future gen-
erations.
The entrepreneur hopes that the
prizes can help him become a role
model: winning awards is becoming
a habit, but I hope I can show the next
generations that hard work pays o in
the business sector, he said.
In the category Welfare and Civil
Society Organisations, Kenya Red
Cross secretary-general Abbas
Gullet and executive director and
chairman of Sustainable Develop-
ment For All, Mr Evans Wadongo,
shared the Country Winner Award.
Mr Wadongo was, however, honoured
as the regional winner.
The regional champions will
compete against winners from other
areas in October in South Africa.
Similar events are held in Ghana,
Egypt, Zambia, Uganda, Mauritius
and Cameroon.
Mr Christopher Kioi of Corn Prod-
ucts Kenya Limited was recognised
for his achievements in agriculture.
Mr Benson Kariuki Kitabu, a nancial
director at Kenya Women Micro-
nance Bank, was also celebrated
for his contribution in the nancial
services category.
Host and chief executive of CEO
Communications, Ms Annelize
Wepener, called on men and women
to promote growth in Africa.
As leading entrepreneurs, we must
work closer together and give back
knowledge and know-how to the next
generations, Ms Wepener said.
Dr Chandaria expressed his
optimism on the economic future
for Kenya and Africa, but warned
colleagues that hard work was nec-
essary to spur development in the
continent.
It is destined to be Africas century,
but already 14 years have gone. It is
not up to the politicians to promote
growth in Africa, it is up to the people,
Dr Chandaria said.

Computer maker Asus will open
a shop locally in October as it eyes
the East African market.
Were in the meantime focus-
ing on channel penetration through
partnerships with mobile operators
and dealers, Asus Kenya product
manager, Mr Chris Wen, told Na-
tion, adding, we are also recruiting
fresh distributers and re-sellers.
The Taiwan-based company
ships about 6,000 PC units to
Kenya in a year, and the company
has a target of shipping about
20,000 units annually.
This will be made possible as
we revamp our presence in East
Africa, Mr Wen noted.
The company is keen on repli-
cating its success in Kenya in the
regional countries. Already, it has
expanded its network into Tanza-
nia and Uganda and it has Rwanda
and Burundi on its radar, too.
We are gaining pace in Tanza-
nia where we have shipped 1,800
laptops while in Uganda we have
1,400 laptops as we aim to con-
trol a signicant market share,
he said.
Technology hub
Locally, American giant, Hewlett-
Packard, has made great strides in
the trade of computers, laptops,
notebooks, and other gadgets.
And in order to tap into Kenyas
emerging reputation as a technol-
ogy and entertainment hub, Asus
has lined up Taichi convertible Ul-
trabook, Zenbook Touch Ultrabook
and the G-Series gaming laptop to
woo customers.
US research firm, Gartner,
ranked Asus behind Lenovo, HP
and Dell in the world PC market
share, with the Taiwan rm taking
fth position at 6.5 per cent.

ECB switches to secure

Equatorial Commercial Bank
has completed tests on its new

debit cards. All ECB customers
can now replace their old mag-
netic stripe cards. The new tech-
nology is the surest seal to avert
IT-related fraud in banking, ECB
managing director, Mr Sammy
Itemere, said. The switch to the
more secure Europay MasterCard
Visa (EMV) chip platform was
informed by the rampant cases of
fraudsters stealing customer data
stored on the magnetic stripes to
execute unauthorised deals run-
ning into millions of shillings.
The bankers association has set
September 30 as the deadline for
local banks to switch to chip-and-
pin system.

T
reasury has appointed a sec-
retary to the Capital Markets
Tribunal setting in motion the
hearing of an appeal by Centum on
takeover of Rea Vipingo.
Ms Jane Moraa Adogo takes over as
the secretary to the Capital Markets
Tribunal raising enough quorum for
the hearing of the buyout appeal to
start.
Section 35A (1) of the Capital Mar-
kets Act provides that the tribunal
shall consist of six members and a
secretary appointed by the minister.
The Cabinet Secretary for the Na-
tional Treasury appoints Jane Moraa
Adogo to be Capital Market Authority
secretary for three years, Mr Rotich
said in August 4 gazette notice.
Centum investment had moved
to court two weeks ago seeking to
compel Mr Rotich to nominate the
secretary so that its appeal over ap-
proval by Capital Market Authority to
Rea Trading to take over Rea Vipingo
can be heard.
The investment rm is opposed to
buyout of the sisal producer by two
British brothers, Richard and Jeremy
Robinow, who already control 57.04
per cent of Rea Vipingo through Rea
Trading Company.
The brothers offered to buyout
the other Rea Vipingo shareholders
at Sh70 per share plus a conditional
bonus of up to Sh15 a-piece from fu-
ture disposal of the company land.
However, Centum which moved
to the Capital Markets Tribunal, is
seeking a declaration that the oer
by Rea Trading violates Kenyas
takeover rules.
The investment rm, whose biggest
shareholder is billionaire Chris Kirubi,
sought and obtained orders that have
restrained the markets authority from
transferring the ownership of the sisal
rm to Rea Trading Limited.
Centum has expressed a desire
to acquire the sisal rms 60 mil-
lion shares at Sh75 per share up
from Sh50 while REA Trading have
also improved its bid to Sh70 from
Sh40.
The Robinow brothers announced
intentions to take over 100 per cent
of the issued shares of the sisal rm
for Sh40 per share in November 2013
triggering a round of counter oers
that have since left the two parties
battling for the takeover.
REA Vipingo has two arms ag-
riculture (cultivation, production
of sisal bre and horticultural) and
spinning conversion of sisal bre
into yarns and twines.

Analysts give bourse
share sale thumbs up
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENT
Equity analysts have
expressed optimism that
the Nairobi Securities Ex-
change shares that are on
sale in the ongoing initial
public offering will gain
in value.
This is despite the ap-
parent risks the NSE faces
as it self-lists especially on
its preparedness to attract
high levels of investments
as well as the roll out of new
products after the IPO.
Despite painting a rosy
picture of the share, the
analysts Afrika Invest-
ment Bank (AIB), Faida
Investment Bank (FIB),
Sterling Capital, Old Mu-
tual and Crested Stocks
and Securities say future
performance is subject to
successful execution of
planned projects.
Likely upgrade of Kenya
from a frontier to an emerg-
ing market status would
also boost the share, they
note.
In research notes to
investors, the analysts say
the stock has an upside
valuation of between 20
per cent and 48 per cent
based on the IPO price of
Sh9.5 per share.
Sterling, AIB, Old Mu-
tual and FIB have a 4.08
per cent stake of 5.25
million shares each in the
NSE. They are among the
22 trading partners who
hold an equal stake in the
exchange.
The Treasury and the In-
vestor Compensation Fund
Board hold an equal stake
of 5.1 per cent of 6,562,500
shares each in the NSE.
Steady growth
Our investment case is
informed by a projected
steady growth in revenues
driven by increased transac-
tion levies and listing fees,
interest income and alter-
nate revenue channels,
analyst at Old Mutual said
in their August 6 report.
FIB have given the stock
a target price of Sh14.13,
representing a 48.8 per
cent upside potential from
the oer price. Old Mutu-
als price target of Sh13.14,
represents a 38.3 per cent
upside potential from the
oer price.
Sterling Capital on the
other hand has a target
price of Sh11.4, 20 per
cent upside while AIBs
targets price is at Sh11.875,
an upwards of 25 per cent
valuation.
Seaweed comes
to the rescue of
young Spaniards
ORTIGUEIRA, Spain
Three young Spaniards plunge
into the sea to harvest a delicacy
that promises them a way out of
troubled nancial waters: seaweed.
Armed with stainless steel scythes,
they swim in low tide from rock to
rock cutting down codium seaweed
and kombu kelp, which they gather
up in bags.
The trio, marine scientist
Alberto Sanchez, 35, his sister
Maria and his friend, biologist
Sergio Baamonde, 33, carry the
sea greens by foot to their car and
transport it to a factory set up by
the two friends in the Galician sea
port, northern Spain.
Very motivated
It is tough but were very moti-
vated, said Baamonde, who joined
up with Sanchez in April 2012 to
launch into the seaweed business.
Economic crisis has left one in four
people out of work in Spain.
They have established a com-
pany, Ardora Sea Preserves, to sell
edible seaweed. In 2012, sales of
ecological seaweed and related
foods in Galicia amounted to $5
million, according to the regions
maritime and environmental min-
ister, Rosa Quintana.
The trio invested 300,000 euros,
raised from relatives, loans and a
small state subsidy. (AFP)

Aviation
rally to beat
Mennonites
BY CAXTON APOLLO
[email protected]

Nairobi Aviation College rallied
from behind to beat Mennonites 43-
36 in their mens basketball Premier
League tie at the Nairobis Nyayo
National Stadium yesterday.
In other Premier League matches
at the same venue, Equity Bank
rocked Pirates 72-36, Strathmore
University defeated Blazers 64-46,
Storms humiliated (70-15) while
Flames of the USIU-A womens
team kept the unbeaten record with
a (71-47) win over Mennonites.
Yesterday, Aviation College had
to use the long experience of Ben
Oludhe, who turned the heat on Men-
nonites in the last two critical quarters
with coach Anjela Luchivya calling
the shots from the bench.Oludhe, who
also coaches Storms, scored eight
points in the third quarter which saw
Aviation College shock Mennonites
with a superb (15-4) run.
Then came the decisive last
quarter and Oludhe again sunk a
three-pointer of his six points with
another big contribution coming from
Ebben Wafula as the students went
up (12-8).
Good start
Mennonites had enjoyed a good
start with John Mwangi and Evans
Ngeno threatening Aviation College
with quick baskets to lead (10-9) in
the rst quarter. It took Aviation
College too long to settle down as
the basket hungry Mennonites raced
another (14-7) run en route to a (24-
16) half-time lead.
Oludhe scored game-high 14
points and team-mate Wafula (6)
for the winners while Mwangi and
Agin Omondi each replied with (8)
for the losers.
In another mens Premier League
tie, Blazers chances of winning their
rst match this season went up in
smoke when Strathmore University
whitewashed them 64-46. Blazers,
who suffered their 14th consecu-
tive defeat, had scared the students
with a deserved 17-13 rst quarter
lead before going down (25-23) at
the break.
Star Shilton Ochieng, who
scored game-high 21 points and
Joseph Ongoro (19), were behind
the Strathmores good show in the
last two quarters to carry the day.
Sharu Gisharu managed 13 points for
the losers. Enock Ogecha and Vic-
tor Musyoka scored 18 points each
to help Equity Bank to register an
easy 72-36 victory over Pirates. The
bankers had an edge from the rst
whistle to lead in all the four quarters
with the scores standings (32-14) at
half-time in their favour.

umus Mamboleo grounds.
The dominant bankers,
who also won the Kabeberi

the rst try within ve min-
utes of play through Philip
Wamae which was converted
by Ken Moseti .
Two minutes later, Moseti
added a second try which was
converted by Edwin Salamba
to stretch KCBs lead to 14-0
at half time. After the break,
Michael Wanjala touched
down for Homeboyzs only
try which was however not
converted.
I am glad that we made
it to the nals and nished
second unlike last year when
we had performed poorly.
My boys played very well
against a strong KCB side,
Homeboyz coach Oscar
Mango said.
Victorious
In the semis KCB hit Im-
pala 10-0 while in the other
semis, Homeboyz beat Na-
kuru 17-7.
In the Plate nal, Strath-
more University Leos beat
Western Bulls 19-10. Brian
Shikidi, Frank Wanyama
and Cyrus Kaya were the try
scorers for Strathmore with
Humphrey Owuor making
two conversions.
Western Bulls responded
with a pair of tries from
Cyprian Kuto and Samuel
Mutarit.
On their way to the nal,
Western Bulls beat Kenya
Harlequin 15-7 while the
Leos saw o Nondies 14-7
in the other Plate semis.
Catholic University Monks
brought down Kisumu 19-10
to emerge victorious in the
Bowl nal and dampen the
spirit of the home fans.
In the semis, Kisumu
rallied from behind to beat
Mwamba 15-5, while Catho-
lic University humiliated

hika United and Sony Sugar each
scored from the penalty spot in
the opening half of their Kenyan
Premier League match that ended one-all
at the refurbished Thika Stadium yester-
day afternoon.
Other league matches yesterday involv-
ing Tusker and Chemelil in Awasi as well
as Bandari and Sofapaka in Mombasa
both ended in goalless stalemates, while
Mathare United beat struggling Nakuru
All Stars 1-0. Centre referee Davies Om-
weno awarded two penalties at the Thika
Stadium, the rst decision going Thikas
way in the 25th minute after Michael Ol-
unga was upended in the box.
Kenya international Dennis Odhiambo
stepped up and sent his former club col-
league Sony custodian Lucas Indeche
the wrong way for the match opener.
Omweno gave the visiting team a life-
line 15 minutes later with a penalty, an
opportunity captain Sylvester Wanyama
calmly converted. It is too early to talk
about winning the title but we are on
the right track, Thikas Odhiambo said
after the match.

The brewers will however take a hard look

Brian Osumba, though Chemelil goalkeeper
Fredrick Onyango deserves credit for a great
performance. Sofapaka, also failed to get a
way past a determined Bandari in barren en-
counter at the Mombasa County Stadium.
Sofapaka custodian David Okello was the
busiest of the two custodians, having been
called upon several times to avert danger. In
Nakuru, Mathare United dealt a heavy blow
on Top Frys survival chances with a 1-0 win
at Afraha Stadium. Tetiesh Olesu scored the
all important goal early in the rst half.

F
resh from winning the Common-
wealth Games title, Mercy Cherono
will be gunning for a brace as she
leads compatriots Janet Kisa and Margaret
Wangare in womens 5,000m nal today.
Cherono and company have a tough task
of upholding Gladys Cheronos feat from
the 2012 Championships in Port Novo,
Benin where she swept to victory in both
womens 5,000m and 10,000m nals.
Mercys namesake led Veronica Nyaruai
in staging a 1-2 nish in Benin and the Ken-
yans believe a better show is imminent.
Cherono said despite the hiccups in
their travelling arrangements from Glas-
gow to Marrakech, she is determined to
win her second major championships as
a senior.
Cherono, who is the World 5,000m sil-
ver medallist and a two-time World junior
3,000m champion, lived up to her promise
when she waded through the wet red track
at the Hampden Park to win in womens
5,000m gold in 15:07.21.
Kisa clocked 15:08.90 for silver as
Briton Jo Pavey denied Wangare bronze
after sneaking in third in 15:08.96. Wan-
gare settled for fourth in a seasons best
15:10.38.
The Kenyan could have controlled the
proceedings in Glasgow and it is left to
be seen whether they will in Marrakech
with sti challenge expected from their
Ethiopian rivals.
The 2008 and 2010 World Junior 3,000m
champion Cherono, went into Glasgow in
tip-top form after winning two Diamond
League events in New York and Lausanne.
She is condent of a double in Morocco.
I am pleased with my steady progress. I
want to nish o with Morocco, make the
Africa team for the World Cup then focus
on the World Championships next year,
said Cherono, who won the World Junior
Cross title in 2010 after silver in 2009.
Wangare, who won bronze in 1,500m in
Port Novo, said she is determined to make
a good impression after a disappointing
World Championships last year and miss-
ing the medal bracket in Glasgow.
I am hoping for a better calculation this
time around since I know the eld will be
richer than Glasgow with the Ethiopians
presence, said Wangare, the 2012 Africa
Cross Country silver medallist. Its my
desire to win my rst major and I am hop-
ing for Gods blessings in this.
The Kenyans main challenge will come
from Ethiopian Gezebe Dibaba, who is
having a great season, after setting World
Indoor records in 1,500m and 3,000m be-
fore winning two Diamond League races
in Rome and Monaco.
She set the two records within a week,
timing 3:55.17 at Karlsruhe, Germany in
1,500m on February 1 before going for the
Kenyans going for clean
sweep but face sti
competition from in-form

G
or Mahias coach Bobby William-
son has no choice but to go for
an outright win against Atletico
of Burundi in their second Cecafa-Kag-
ame Cup match this afternoon from
4pm Kenyan time (3pm in Rwanda)
at the Nyamirambo Stadium.
And he will.
Information coming from the camp
indicates the Scot is expected to de-
ploy a highly oensive 4-3-3 formation
with lead striker Dan Sserunkuma and
Timothy Otieno starting upfront.
George Blackberry Odhiambo a
surprise starter in the Friday defeat is
a strong candidate to drop to the bench
with Sserunkumas compatriot Arthur
Ssemazi claiming his place to complete
the three-man attack formation.
The Kenyan giants walk a tight rope
and must win the contest if they are to
stand a realistic chance of advancing in
the competition. Defeat will put Gor in
all sorts of problems after they squan-
dered a 1-0 lead against KCCA in their
opener to eventually lose 2-1.
Against the Ugandans, the William-
son-coached side dominated the rst
half where they were comfortable on
and o the ball and did well to limit
the oppositions threats.
Things changed after the breather
as the energy levels of the Gor players
seemed to dropped. The team exhibited
lack of urgency.
Ahead of todays meeting, the Scot-
tish trainer has asked his boys to up
their game, close down the spaces, be
tight in defense and show ruthlessness
in front of goal if they are to re-ig-
nite their hopes for a fourth Cecafa
crown.
Focus is winning Cecafa
The 52-year-old former Uganda
Cranes tactician is poised to take
over the coaching duties of Kenyas
Harambee Stars and in an interview
with Daily Nation Sport after the Friday
defeat maintained that his focus is to
win the Cecafa Cup. We lost to KCCA
not because we were poor but because
we conceded a very soft second goal.
We therefore have to bounce back and
win our next match, he said.
In other matches, Allan Wangas El-
Merreikh will also be in action at 2pm
barely 48 hours after suering a shock
defeat to Rwanda Police on Saturday.
The Red Devils game plan suered a
total collapse with Wanga failing to get
a supply of balls in what turned out to
be a bad day in oce for him.
El Merreikhs coach Yousief Bur-
haneldin is expected to make a raft of
changes in his mideld.

NOTEBOOK
UNBELIEVABLE NEWS
Stars loss to Lesotho
big discussion here

Harambee Stars ouster from
the 2015 African Cup of Nations
qualiers sent Kenya into shock,
but it seems the reality is yet to
sink in the greater eastern Africa
region.
Here in Kigali, I have had
a hard time explaining to the
Rwandan scribes how Kenya, a
regional powerhouse, could be
tossed out of the competition
by minnows Lesotho. A Rwanda
radio journalist exclaimed; How!
That was impossible. Kenya
couldnt score even a goal at
home? It is at such moments
that you truly wish the ground
would open up and swallow you.
STREET CELEBRATIONS
APRs escape from jail
sends fans into frenzy
I watched with interest the
other day when, after the sound
of the nal whistle, APR fans
took command of the streets of
Kigali to celebrate their laboured
but sweet 1-0 victory over a stub-
born Burundi outt Atletico.
In a cacophony similar to what
we have been accustomed to in
Nairobi whenever Gor Mahia and
make their way to Tom Mboya
monument to pay homage, these
youthful and energetic fans sang
and danced along the roads of Ki-
gali forcing motorists to give way.
They could have been truly eu-
phoric for the win or just plainly
relieved because they match was
headed for a draw before Ismael
Nshutinamagara struck.
UNDIVIDED LOYALTY
Rayon Sports indeed
hosts glamour club
Rayon Sports is the most
popular football club in Rwanda.
Its the common mans favourite
team and the hoi polloi go the ex-
tra mile to identify with them. On
Friday when they locked horns
with Tanzanian side Azam in a
bruising showdown in what is
so far the most enthralling en-
counter of the tournament, the
stadium was lled to the rafters.
Their popularity was there to
see when they turned their un-
divided attention on the squads
arrival at the stadium while Gor
played KCCA.
CONSPICUOUS FIGURES
Green Army numbers
few but highly visible
Gor Mahia fans are known for
their colourful nature in the Ken-
yan Premier League. Their swag
and passionate support for their
team is well known.
It therefore came as no sur-
prise on Friday, when dozens of
them, presumably living here in
Kigali, turned up at the Amahoro
Stadium to cheer their beloved
side against KCCA.
What took me by surprise
though was the fact that despite
their minimal number, they made
the whole stadium take notice.
Donned in the famed green jersey
and marching tight trousers, they
stayed true to their club even
here in a foreign land.

Gor Mahia were yesterday handed
a major boost in their quest to
qualify for the knockout stage after
Djiboutis Telecom shocked Ugandan
champions Kampala City Council
Authority 2-1 to throw Group A wide
open.
Gor lost to the Ugandans and vic-
tory over Telecom would have hauled
KCCAS points tally to six and in com-
mand of the group heading into the
third round of matches.
KCCA and Telecom are now dead-
locked on three points and should Gor
win this afternoon against Atletico
at Nyamirambo there will be four
teams in the group on same number
of points.
APR are the other team in the
group with three points following
their laboured 1-0 win over Atletico
on Saturday.
Telecom got o the blocks running
with some enterprising play with Mus-
tapha Mohamed putting them ahead
in the 43rd minute.
KCCA clawed back the goal in the
67th minute when forward William
Wadri beautifully nodded the ball
into the ceiling of the net.
The honours however went to
Abouba Kar Djama who scored the
winning goal in stoppage time.
KCCA coach George Best Nsimbe,
as widely anticipated, begun with
Brian Umony and Brian Majwega
after doing enough in the 2-1 win
over Gor to merit a starting role and
though they gave everything it was
not their day.
Umony was a constant menace in
Telecoms defense making jinxing
runs but the goal eluded him time
and again.
He came close in the 83rd and 87th
minute with diving headers that were
close but wide.
After the breather Telecom coach
Mohamed Ali opted to add more
bite in his forward line bringing in
Abdoulzack Mohamoud for scorer
Mohamed and Houssein Wassama
for Freddy Andasango.
Mohamoud was instrumental in
setting up the winning goal after
he played a through pass to Djama
down the right and the winger burst
forward with poise and elegance to
drill in leaving Mugabi Yasin stranded
between the posts.
Later at the same venue, Azam
red a warning shot to Group A ri-
vals after they ran amok, hitting four
without reply past a poor KMKM of
Zanzibar.
Skipper John-Rafael Bocco led from
the front, scoring the tournaments
fastest goal in the rst minute with
a rm header. Bocco was at hand to
add another seven minutes after the
break.
Centre forward Lionel Saint Preux
also claimed a brace in the 18th and
29th minutes to seal an impressive
win.

OFF THE PITCH | Moses Ojuang
The endless football management circus
cation was in progress. They
brought the idea of writing
Aims, Missions and Visions
to all government institution
and soon uglication reared
its ugly head. Consider that
the oldest and most protable
ship building company has a
mission simple and straight
forward: We shall build good
ships.
Meanwhile, some rural
cash-strapped school in the
middle of nowhere has a mis-
sion that states: To provide,
deliver, make available, give
out education and learning in
all angles holistic and total to
all the children both boys and
girls of this great republic of
Kenya for a future imminent
and pregnant with hope for
success to greater heights.
Even though that poor
school with no chalk and
desks puts for itself such a
mouthful of a mission, we
cannot laugh at them. At least
they do have something they
wish to achieve.
Which brings me to the real
issue. Just what are the aims
and visions of our Kenyan
clubs if at they have any?
Football transfers
But I guess they dont. They
just exist for the sake of it and
those who manage them must
rst of all be very ugly to be
elected into oce.
They must bleach out all
shame from their faces and
adopt a carefree attitude that
smells to high heavens!
They must bathe in manure
before they call a press confer-
ence to clear the air about
certain misconceptions they
saw in print. A few weeks ago
in this column, I wrote about
the people who constantly
laugh at our local football
transfers and the little money
involved. It turns out that even
the little monies owed to poor
players in transfer fees are ss
still pilfered by the powers
that be in club management.
Some blackheart in AFC
Leopards is said to have
paid a young player with a
bouncing cheque.
When you think we have
reached the rock bottom,
some ogre takes us to a new
low! And when this same
bad man is asked why they
did that to a player he calmly
replies: That was a small
mistake and it has been
rectied. The said player has
been paid Sh100,000 and in a
few days time he shall receive
the rest
It rolled its forked tongue
blackened by lies and beamed.
He was enjoying uglifica-
tion!
I
f the legendary king Midas
was Kenyan, everything he
touched would have meta-
morphosed into a neat package
of dung.
Everything that chances to
blow our way is quickly trans-
formed into manure and that
includes club football.
To be precise, we may bor-
row a leaf from Alice in her
wonderland full of sweet non-
sense. In that tall tale, Alice
talks of uglication and actu-
ally goes ahead trying to dene
that term as the opposite of
making something pretty!
When the craze for keeping
Mombasa clean hit town; the
leaders, whose educational
backgrounds are questionable,
coined the term beautica-
tion and it has been repeated
even by those who should
know better!
The same process of uglica-
tion hit the ISO certication
fashion. All reputable compa-
nies were jostling to gain this
coveted trophy. It was a real
race but whether it made the
companies better, we have no
way of knowing. All we discern
is that it was soon going to be
uglied Kenya style.
One ugly morning, the
residents of Nairobi woke up
amidst their burst sewer pipes
perfuming their neighbour-
hoods to the news that Nairobi
City Council had attained the
ISO certication status!
Many of course were
shocked and the jolt could
not be lessened by inviting
smell of mountains of lovely
sculptured garbage and artis-
tically arranged potholes on
the streets. The manure from
this ISO certication cured
our naivety about ISO being
a strict international standard
and the municipal muck from
the great city council cured us
of the xation with ISO. Ugli-
It turns out that
even the little
monies owed to
poor players in
transfer fees are
ss still pilfered

Leopards are
not to blame
for Sonys loss
M
y good friend Peter Otieno
Bassanga has been a
very angry man lately. The
former Harambee Stars left back
feels his Sony Sugar side has been
unfairly treated by the organizers
of the Kenya Premier League. The
sugar millers insist that their home
match against AFC Leopards ought
to have been played at the Awendo
Green Stadium.
Apparently, Jack Oguda and his ilk
at KPL had written to Sony some time
back asking them to decide whether
the match would be played at Kisumus
Moi Stadium or Afraha Stadium in
Nakuru as the Awendo Stadium was
deemed too insecure to host a team of
Ingwes caliber. Sony, in their wisdom
or lack of it, chose to treat the letter
with the contempt it deserved. With
no answer forthcoming, KPL chose
to pick a venue for the match and set-
tled on Afraha because the renovated
Kisumu Stadium can only host what
KPL regards as low risk matches.
I must state here that Ingwe had no
problem playing the match not just
in Awendo but at any other venue. If
anything, we have thrashed Sonya at
at their own backyard before.
But when they were notied that
the match would be at Afraha, Ingwe
had no option but to head to Nakuru.
True to their threat not to honour the
xture if it was not staged in Awendo,
Sony never showed up on the match
day and Ingwe were duly awarded
three points. Listening to Sony, one
feels they are justied for the believing
that KPL is favouring the big boys.
On two occasions, their players have
been manhandled by hooligans during
their matches with our noisy neigh-
bours in green.
In one particularly despicable in-
cident, the Gor goons stormed the
pitch and roughed up Sonys then
flamboyant goalkeeper Wycliffe
Kasaya for frustrating their strikers
that fateful afternoon. As expected, no
action was taken against KOgalo nor
was the Kasarani Stadium declared
unt for hosting matches.
I must remind Sony that Ingwe has
nothing to do with the misfortunes
that have befallen them whenever
they play our noisy neighbours. If
anything, Ingwe too has fallen victim
of KPLs rather haphazard manner of
rescheduling matches.
Meanwhile, I must salute the referee
who ociated the Ingwe-KRA match
at Mumias Sports Complex on Sat-
urday for a job well done.

KOGALO CORNER | Tom Osanjo
Good riddance! Kenyan game wont miss Amrouche
A
dieu Monsieur Amrouche, it
was not nice doing business
with you and please dont
come back again!
I am one of the countless Kenyans
who uncorked their champagne
bottles when news ltered in that
Amrouche had been relieved of his
duties as Harambee Stars coach.
Dont get me wrong, am not a sad-
ist and far be it removed from me
to revel whenever calamities befall
others. However, Amrouche was a
gangrene in the toe which could have
led to our entire leg being amputated.
Since his appointment as the national
team coach early last year, even the
Algerian-born Belgian nationals
staunchest of supporters would be
hard pressed to show any particularly
brilliant results the team posted.
At the KOgalo Corner all we re-
member him best for is the verbal fest
he engaged our immediate former
coach Zdravko Logarusic in, a ti
which the temperamental Croat came
out on tops.
Talking to Logarusic at the height
of their hostility last year, the then
Gor Mahia coach was of the opin-
ion that Amrouche was a poor deal
for Stars. More than a year later,
Logarusic has been vindicated and
football authorities in the country did
the right thing to show Amrouche
the door.
It was common knowledge that the
coachs starting line up against Le-
sotho was often inuenced by other
factors best known to himself. And
then there was the highly publicized
row with Dennis Oliech, an alterac-
tion that saw the latter being locked
out of the national team.
Walked the talk
I am not saying that Oliech was
or is the epitome of discipline. But
there comes a time when we have
to appreciate a mans sacrice to
his country.
Unlike our numerous politicians to
whom patriotism is worn literally by
having clothes with the colours of the
national ag, Oliech has walked the
talk. Unless you are very malicious,
you cannot forget the many times
Oliech has used his own money to
pay for his air ticket to come and play
for Kenya. During his formative years
in professional football, the gulf state
of Qatar even oered him the kings
ransom gure of Sh200 million in
exchange for his Kenyan passport,
but the player atly refused. Contrast
this with the current trend that has
seen young kids decamping in droves
from the Iten high altitude training
grounds to Gulf States and you will
understand what I am saying.
Even as Amrouche goes, I take this
early opportunity to wish outgoing
Gor Mahia coach Bobby Williamson
all the best as he takes over the hot
seat in Harambee Stars technical
bench. From his almost impeccable
track record, I believe the Scotsman
is the right man for the job.

London
A
rsenal delivered a rousing
demonstration of their Pre-
mier League title credentials
by overwhelming league champions
Manchester City 3-0 in the Community
Shield at Wembley yesterday.
Buoyed by last seasons FA Cup suc-
cess over Hull City, Arsene Wengers
side took charge with rst-half goals
from Santi Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey
before substitute Olivier Giroud added
a glorious long-range third. With $50.5
million new signing Alexis Sanchez
also impressing on a sunny afternoon
in northwest London, Arsenals fans
will hope it proves the precursor to a
sustained title challenge, after seeing
their side fall away last season.
Two things were important today:
to win a trophy, even though it is not a
major one, and to play well, and I am
very happy because we played some
very good football, said Wenger.
This showed that when the team
is focused, we have a chance to win a
league game. We want to go into each
game with the same condence and
belief. Victory in the traditional season
curtain-raiser which witnessed the
rst use of vanishing spray in English
football suggests Arsenal are in ne
fettle ahead of their opening league
xture at home to Crystal Palace on
Saturday.
In mitigation for City, manager
Manuel Pellegrini could point to the
absences of first-teamers such as
captain Vincent Kompany and Sergio
Aguero, but his sides rustiness will be
cause for concern ahead of their season
opener at Newcastle United.
These things happen before the
season starts, Pellegrini told BT
Sport. It was not the pace we played
in pre-season, but I will talk with the
players and I am sure we will be ready
to start the Premier League.
With the millstone of a nine-year tro-
phy drought no longer weighing them
down, Arsenal made an assured start
on their return to Wembley, with new
signing Mathieu Debuchy obliging Gael
Clichy to head a cross clear.
Blocked a shot
Debuchy then blocked a shot by Samir
Nasri lustily booed by the fans of his
former club at the other end, before
Cazorla gave Arsenal the lead in the
21st minute. Jack Wilshere was felled
on the edge of the box by Dedryck
Boyata, but play continued and the
ball ran to Cazorla, who threw Clichy
o-balance with a clever feint before
drilling home left-footed.
Edin Dzeko looked to get City level
by racing away from Calum Chambers
and teeing up Stevan Jovetic, but
Laurent Koscielny produced a timely
block. Moments later it was 2-0. From
Sanchezs sweeping through ball, Yaya
Sanogo played a pass inside that was
slightly behind Ramsey, but the Welsh-
man checked his run and chipped the
ball on before drilling a shot into the
bottom-left corner. (AFP)

Barclays Premier League
London
Liverpool warmed up for the start
of their Premier League campaign
with a Philippe Coutinho-inspired 4-
0 friendly win over Borussia Dortmund
at Aneld yesterday.
Brendan Rodgerss side dominated
their nal pre-season match with Bra-
zilian playmaker Coutinho the most
impressive performer as he scored one
goal and had a hand in another.
Coutinho (left), who will be ex-
pected to carry much of Liverpools
creative burden following the sale of
Luis Suarez to Barcelona, was a con-
stant menace throughout as Daniel
Sturridge, Dejan Lovren and Jordan
Henderson also got their names on
the scoresheet against German club
Dortmund. Liverpool, looking to gone
one better after nishing runners-up to
Manchester City in the Premier League
last season, handed debuts to new de-
fensive signings Javier Manquillo and
Lovren while Sturridge had shaken o
a hamstring injury to start in attack.
Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp had only
one of Germanys quartet of World
Cup-winning players at his disposal
in the form of Kevin Grosskreutz, who
remained on the bench.
Liverpools passing looked crisper
than that of their Bundesliga counter-
parts in the early stages, and Coutinho
created the first opening with a
weighted ball for Raheem Sterling who
saw his shot beaten away by Mitchell
Langerak in the Dortmund goal.
Coutinho was instrumental in Liver-
pools opening goal in the 10th minute
when he played a rst-time pass which
sent Sturridge clear and he angled a
shot past Langerak into the corner
of the net.
Dortmund looked rusty and were
punished for a lack of concentration
from a Steven Gerrard corner ve min-
utes later, with the unmarked Lovren
allowed time and space to head home
from inside the six-yard box.
The remainder of the rst half was
played at a more sedate pace although
Coutinho, full of intelligent movement
and clever icks, continued to threaten
in the nal third in combination with
Sturridge and Sterling. Gerrard
brought a superb one-handed diving
save from Langerak with a curling
free-kick on the stroke of half-time,
and shortly after the interval the home
side put the result beyond doubt.
Sterling seized upon a misplaced
pass and found the unmarked Coutinho
who swivelled and then placed it into
the net past the hapless Langerak
to get the goal his performance de-
served. Henderson, who had been full
of endeavour and energy throughout,
tapped home Liverpools fourth from
close range just after the hour mark.

BATTLE READY | Arsenal seem to mean business in a more determined way than has been previously possible
lift Shield as Sanchez oozes class
MURITHI MUTIGA
Football Commentator
A
rsenal drew rst blood ahead of
the Premier League season with
a uent performance yesterday
which saw them dispatch an under-
strength Manchester City 3-0 in the
Community Shield.
It was a good warm up for the new
season, following a break which was
mercifully short for football fans thanks
to the World Cu.
Ahead of the first matches this
weekend, pundits in England have
been busy making predictions and
analysing the various teams chances.
How do the big teams match up? Here
is a condensed summary.

Arsenal
This has been an exciting break for
many Arsenal fans, with Arsene
Wenger rst frustrating supporters by
seeming to waste a lot of time taking
photos on the beaches in Brazil, before
emerging with a series of eye-catching
purchases.
The Chile striker Alexis Sanchez is
the pick of the bunch and is a genuine
world class talent, the type Wenger has
struggled to buy since the decline of the
Invincibles class of Vieira, Henry and
company. The young English defender
Calum Chambers has also arrived, as
have the goalkeeper David Ospina and
full-back Mathieu Debuchy.
All this has brought a buzz of excite-
ment to sports journalists (who, being
mainly from London) tend to give
soft coverage to the Gunners and the
Guardian predicts that good times lie
ahead for Wengers men: Arsenal seem
to mean business in a more determined
way than has been previously possible
since the move from Highbury to the
Emirates Stadium in 2006. After many
years of talking the talk they feel more
ready to walk the walk.
I have to say I am not too convinced.
One of the intriguing things about
Wenger is how stubbornly he focuses
on bringing in an endless succession
of exciting attacking players while per-
sistently failing to address the biggest
and most glaring weakness in his side:
The lack of a commanding central mid-
elder who can give the team a strong
spine and stop the kind of thrashings
they received at Liverpool and Chelsea
last season.
I remember once Alex Ferguson
being asked what he thought of
Wenger buying Andrey Arshavin who
had starred at Euro 2008 and the
United mans reaction was simple.
Great player, but does Wenger ever
buy defensive players?
The Arsenal manager denied in
his press conference last Thursday
ever targeting Sami Khedira. Unless
he brings in a player or two in that
department, I would expect Arsenal
will just be the same as ever: exciting,
talented and getting o to a blistering
start but ultimately after Christmas
being exposed as not good enough to
win the title.
Chelsea
Jose Mourinho has done very shrewd
business in the transfer window, sell-
ing Brazil defender David Luiz and
Belgian striker Romeru Lukaku for
a combined 78m and bringing in
a clutch of stars from La Liga. The
striker Diego Costa, left-back Filipe
Luis and midelder Cesc Fabregas will
certainly strengthen the team.
The main debate in the press is
whether Mourinho can accommo-
date all the attacking talent he has in
what is perhaps the strongest squad
in the league.
Can he take the risk of playing Oscar,
Fabregas, Hazard, Willian and Schurrle
in the same team? In a way, Chelsea
represents a marriage between an odd
couple. Roman Abramovich loves at-
tacking, fantasy football. Mourinho is
the ultimate pragmatist.
How they will resolve that conict
will be intriguing, but Chelsea as
usual will challenge and will be near
the top.

Manchester United
Unlike East Africa where Arsenal has
long enjoyed the numerical advantage
in terms of fan numbers, in England,
Manchester United is easily the best
supported club. Thats why hardly an
hour goes by before a football website
puts up a United story to attract as
many clicks as possible.
There is a genuine buzz around
Manchester United this season as
you would expect following the ar-
rival of the towering Dutch tactician,
Louis van Gaal.
The successful pre-season US tour
has injected a sense of optimism.
Players have a spring in their
step, reports the Telegraph, but
they are also being energised by a
healthy element of fear instilled by
Van Gaal. It is as though the former
Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich
coach has restored the eye of the
tiger at United.
I burnt the midnight oil to watch
the two pre-season matches against
Real Madrid and Liverpool and it
is true that they were impressive
with Anders Herrera in particular
bringing some much needed craft
and guile in mideld.
But for all his brilliance, Im not
sure Van Gaal can win the title with
Fletcher and Carrick as the main
holding midelders and Jones and
Smalling at the heart of the defence.
With some reinforcements, however,
the team is equipped to go back to
the heights it occupied before the
unfortunate Moyes error.

Liverpool
Brendan Rodgers has to rank as
one of the nest British managers
around, having engineered the rise
of Liverpool from a humble eighth
position, 28 points behind cham-
pions Man City in 2012 to their
current position in the Champions
League.
He has some of the clearest ideas
of any manager of how he wants his
team to play and has brought in cru-
cial defensive cover in the shape of
the Croatian Dejan Lovren.
But then Luis Suarez, catalyst of
so much that was good about Liv-
erpool last season is gone.
Divock Origi will spend the
season on loan at Lille and we will
only watch him on our screens next
season, to witness the nerveless at-
tacking he displayed for Belgium at
the World Cup.
He feels no pressure, team-mate
Jan Vertonghen said of Origis per-
formances. He plays like hes on
the street.
As things stand, Liverpool will
need reinforcements to help Dan-
iel Sturridge in case he gets injured
but they should not be written o
even without Suarez. They will re-
main one of the more exciting sides
and Raheem Sterling and Philippe
Coutinho showed their mettle in a
4-0 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund
on Sunday but it is perhaps asking
too much to expect them to claim
the title.

Manchester City
It is possibly a sign of how good
things are in the City camp these
days that the club barely makes
the news.
Manuel Pellegrini has engineered
a quietly successful upgrade of the
side which fell short several times
under Roberto Mancini and they are
still regarded by several commenta-
tors as title favourites.
The Manchester Evening News
claims that the disruption caused
by Yaya Toures birthday antics has
not caused too much trouble. Early
signs from Citys US camp suggest
Toure has been his usual happy self
around the squad. He is arguably
Citys best hope in the Champions
League this season, the competition
the Blues really covet.
Both sides in Manchester will have
very interesting encounters in the
next few months in what should be
an exciting season, with Tottenham
and Everton all pushing the clubs
above for a top four nish. Enjoy
the ride.

Barcelona have
completed the
signing of Thomas
Vermaelen from
Arsenal for a fee
believed to be in
the region of 15
million pounds.
Club captain Vermaelen, 28, had grown
tired of life on the bench at the Emirates
-- he made only 21 appearances in total
for Arsenal during the 2013-14 campaign,
which concluded with him being an un-
used substitute in the Gunners FA Cup
nal victory over Hull as they collected
their rst trophy in nine years -- and has
opted for a new challenge in Spain. Bar-
celona said in a statement on their web-
site: Thomas Vermaelen is now ocially
an FC Barcelona player.

Defender Vermaelen
seals Barcelona deal
Ajax boss Frank
De Boer has ad-
mitted he wants
to sign Cameroon
forward Samuel
Etoo and use him
as an example
for the clubs next
breed of young stars.
The former Barcelona and Chelsea star
has been a free agent since leaving the
English club at the end of last season,
but the Amsterdam clubs sporting di-
rector Marc Overmars revealed they had
spoken to the player. He has still got the
ambition to show what hes got. He must
take a role as leader, show our young
players what it means to be a profes-
sional football player. De Boer told Fox
Sports.
Dutch clubs ght
for Etoo signature
Manchester United
boss Louis Van Gaal
is ready to swoop
for Angel Di Maria
and Daley Blind.
The Dutchman
who has made an
impressive start to his reign at Old Traf-
ford is keen to replace Nemanja Vidic
and Rio Ferdinand in central defence and
has already sanctioned the English club
representatives to commence negotia-
tions with Ajax Amsterdam with a view
to purchasing Blind.
Van Gaal has recently worked with Blind
during his stint with Netherlands, a na-
tion he led to third at the recent FIFA
World Cup. The Dutchman has also men-
tioned the need for his team to exploit
the services of a quality winger like Di
Maria.

Arsenal are ready

So far United have
failed to agree a
fee with Borussia
Dortmund for the World Cup winner,
with the German club wanting a sum in
excess of 25million.
Arsenal, though, could come up with the
cash after the sale of Thomas Vermaelen
to Barcelona on Saturday.

O
DM, TNA and URP
are set to lose mil-
lions of shillings
allocated to them by the
Treasury after senators
passed radical amendments
to the Political Parties Act.
The three largest parties
would have to share the
Sh200 million set aside
for them this nancial year
with smaller outts after the
House adopted the changes
to the law before going for
a month-long recess on
Thursday.
If the President assents to
the proposed law, the three
parties will share Sh140 mil-
lion of the Political Parties
Fund cash, while the smaller
ones will get Sh50 million.
The remaining Sh10 mil-
lion will be for administering
the fund.
As per the amendments,
any party with one governor
or senator will be eligible for
the funds. If a party fails to
secure a seat in the Senate or
governorship and wins two
positions in the National
Assembly or has at least 20
members in the county as-
semblies, it will also qualify
for the millions of shillings
set aside each year to fund
political outts.
The Political Parties
(Amendment) Bill was spon-
sored by Kakamega Senator
Boni Khalwale.
The National Assembly
will also go through the
Bill before returning it to
the Senate, which will then
forward it to the President
for assent.
I consulted the Legal
Aairs and Human Rights
Committee and adopted
their recommendations
that the threshold for quali-
fying for the money should
be raised. We also took into
consideration views from the
public, said Dr Khalwale.
His initial proposal that
any party with at least an
elected member in one of
the 47 county assemblies
be funded was dropped.
I support the amend-
ments. Article 2 of the
Constitution supports
multi-party democracy.
The Constitution makes
it a human right to form a
political party. The basic
requirement for any po-
litical party are set out in
Article 91, said Mr Kiraitu
Murungi, a member of the
Legal Affairs committee.
