Court blocks election losers from getting ticket to House

The leaders can only join august House through an election, says threejudge bench
BY PAUL OGEMBA
pogemba@ke.nationmedia.com ormer Prime Minister Raila Odinga and former Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka have been locked out of a possible comeback to any legislative assembly through nominations. A three-judge bench of the Court of Appeal declared Section 34 (9) of the Elections Act, which allowed the nomination of failed presidential and deputy presidential candidates to Parliament, unconstitutional. Justices Festus Azangalala, Patrick Kiage and Jamila Mohammed dismissed an earlier ruling by Justice David Majanja, which upheld nomination of presidential candidates to Parliament. Justice Majanja, they ruled, misdirected himself in his interpretation and treatment of the question of special interest groups. The 10th Parliament had amended the Elections Act to give a lifeline to presidential candidates and their running mates who lost in elections. According to Section 34 (9) of the amended Act, any party list may contain a name of any presidential or deputy presidential candidate nominated for an election. Yesterday, the court described this change as a violation to all reason and logic of the rights of the marginalised by arbitrary superimposing well-heeled inSETBACK

dividuals in the nomination list to the disadvantage of the marginalised. It said MPs violated the Constitution in making the change to suit their friends. It cannot be open to any state organ to act in a manner that violates the Constitution. The doctrine of parliamentary supremacy when it legislated as it pleased is now of only historical signicance and it is only the Constitution which can now claim supremacy, they said. The ruling aects Mr Odinga and Mr Musyoka, who have been under pressure from a section of their party members to consider joining either the National Assembly or the Senate. However, the two leaders have repeatedly denied claims they intend to rejoin Parliament. Also locked out are former

deputy prime minister Musalia Mudavadi, his running mate in the past elections Jeremiah Kioni, former Gichugu MP Martha Karua and her running mate, former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth, Prof James ole Kiyiapi, Paul Muite and Abduba Dida. The ruling eectively locks out the candidates from legislative assemblies for at least ve years unless they win a seat through a by-election. The appeal was led by the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution against the ruling by Justice Majanja in which he declared that party lists for nomination can contain names of the presidential and deputy presidential candidates. The CIC argued before the Appellate Court that the judge made a mistake since the clause was inconsistent with provisions of the Constitution, which guarantees nomination of disadvantaged and marginalised groups to political seats. The judges upheld the arguments, ruling that the Constitution intended that marginalised groups be beneciaries of a more inclusive political order. The presidential and deputy presidential candidates, they said, were not contemplated by the Constitution to be categorised as special interest groups and that it did not matter whether they are the leaders or vision bearers of their political parties. If they be what they are said to be, there really is no existential

risk of their career or that of their parties to be feared from their absence from the benches and oors of legislative assemblies, the judges said. They added that Parliaments failure to enact laws, which would protect the political rights of marginalised groups, meant that it was up to the court to take up the mantle. The judges faulted Justice Majanjas faith in political parties to adhere to the provisions, ruling that they did not share the faith he placed on parties to dene for themselves what special interest groups should be.

Search an approach was plainly wrong since a history of practice of nomination to Parliament shows that this well-intended methodology for inclusion for those outside of the circle were perennially abused to bring in persons other than those intended to benet, the judges said. They ruled that the youth, persons with disabilities and workers are the only ones that can fall in marginalised groups since they are the natural underdogs and are likely to be elbowed outside the political eld if the presidential candidates are nominated to legislative assemblies.

Speaking yesterday when he visited Nairobis Mathare slums, which are notorious for illicit drinks, Mr Lenku said it was time to strengthen the security of the nation by curbing criminal acts and cracking down on illicit brews and hard drugs as President Kenyatta stated during a recent anti-drugs conference. The Cabinet Secretary was accompanied by Administration Police ocers, the GSU and Kenya Police in his tour of the slum located in Starehe Constituency. The crackdown he said, would extend to other counties. Over 88 bags of molasses and barrels of illicit brew were recovered from a main supplier in Mathare during the operation that saw a couple of

well have to discuss with Parliament in terms of having (the VAT Bill) passed. That Bill, if passed, will help a lot in simplifying the administration of VAT plus also helping in raising revenue. Enacted in 1990, when the government used to control the price of basic goods, the current VAT Act is considered outdated and Finance ministers over the years increased the list of exempt goods to about 400. You can subsidise through expenditure, but using taxation to subsidise is not a best practice so you better collect your revenue but ensure that you target the people that you think need to be targeted (to pay more tax). This was in reference to the capital gains tax, which would target those who benet from transactions such as the sale of property, shares at the stock exchange or from annual dividends. Cofek has opposed any move that could increase the food burden on Kenyans. Were opposed to it because that would go against President Kenyattas pledge to reduce the cost of living, said Mr Stephen Mutoro, the lobbys secretary-general. Mr Mutoro said the lobby group was also uncomfortable with suggestions that the Bill was the handiwork of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The two institutions were reported to have been backing the Bill on the basis that it would boost the governments internal sources of revenue. Drafted in 2012, the Bills publication drew a barrage of criticism when it was rst tabled and rejected in Parliament last year as it sought to introduce a 16 per cent tax on fertiliser, maize our, bread, wheat our, milk and other basic commodities plus books. According to Saturday Nation calculations, the price of bread would have risen by Sh6, while maize our would have risen by as much as Sh19. A packet of unga today sells for between Sh116 and Sh130.

commodities such as bread and milk, as is likely to happen if Parliament passes the contentious VAT Bill. Also rejecting the Bills provision is the lobby group, Consumer Federation of Kenya (Cofek). Speaking of the possibility of basic commodities prices rising, National Assembly Minority Leader Francis Nyenze said the poor must be cushioned from extra burden, adding, any tax measures should be interrogated to ensure the poor are not punished. If any measures are brought here through VAT that hurts the poor man we shall reject them, he said, adding: We dont want those who live in poverty to be taxed harshly. The government plans to table the Value Added Tax Bill in Parliament, whose passing would lead to an increase in the cost of basics such as milk, bread, maize and wheat our, sanitary towels and newspapers. With maize being Kenyans staple food, any increase in the tax charged on maize our would automatically be criticised for its possible eect on the large number of Kenyans who rarely go to bed without eating ugali. Suba MP John Mbadi said Parliament will have to eliminate a number of grey areas in the VAT Bill and exempt some items from tax. He said the Bill has some errors and Parliament must scrutinise it so that it does not end up increasing the price of basic goods. Well need to isolate basic commodities so that we dont tax them, he said. Speaking at Sori Secondary School in Nyatike, Migori County, during an annual meeting of the local Knut branch, Mr Sossion said teachers never asked for laptops in any policy document formulated within the education sector and wondered whose idea it was. Instead, he said, the union had asked for Sh15 billion to recruit 40,000 teachers to address sta shortage. He termed the Sh50 billion allocation for laptops as a misplaced priority. We disown the government of President Kenyatta because instead of addressing core issues, it has opted to misbehave with public funds.

Food security tops the list of targets to boost lifestyle

BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
Kenyas bid to become food secure could be a reality following a proposal to allocate Sh245 billion to the sector in the next ve years. Of the eight priority areas that the government has allocated funds to transform Kenya into a middle-income country, the food security component has received the highest allocation in the next ve years. In the 2013/2014 nancial year, allocations to food security initiatives stand at Sh17.85 billion, with the amount set to rise to Sh46.67 billion and Sh52.38 billion in the 2014/15 and 2015/16 nancial years. Financial years of 2016/17 and 2017/2018 encompassing the fiveyear plan to turn Kenya into a food secure country have been allocated Sh60 billion and Sh68.1 billion, respectively. According to the 2013/ 14 Budget highlights, eight priority areas that have been considered for additional resources in the next ve years include irrigation and other food security enhancing programmes (Sh245 billion), transport (Sh241 billion), education (Sh90 billion), security (Sh76 billion), health (Sh54 billion), water (Sh41 billion), social protection (Sh33 billion) and youth/women fund (Sh6 billion). The low productivity of agriculture is caused by use of inappropriate technology, inaccessible farm inputs, weak extension support services, and over reliance on rain-fed agriculture, Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich said during the budget speech. It is now up the Agriculture Cabinet Secretary to implement a comprehensive revitalisation program aimed at expanding, enhancing productivity and transforming the sector into a business venture to deal a blow challenges of food insecurity and to reduce the cost of living.

up the cost of housing. Capital gains tax on the sale of securities could also slow down investment on the stock market according to analysts. Last year, the government carried out a study on how best it would levy the tax following a proposal in the Finance Bill (2012) to impose a levy on all investments. The parties to be aected will include investors on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, oil, mining and prospecting companies as well as investors in the real estate sector. Analysts say that the real estate sector and property dealers will be hardest hit. They have also indicated that a proposal to tax shares on the stock market may fail due to the complex nature and the load of information in dierent transactions. When you come to shares, it is a tricky aair especially in capturing all data that occurs in individual transactions, Afrika Investment Bank market analyst Ronald Lugalia said.

Temporary relief for beer lovers as sin tax is delayed

Beer, cigarette, soft drinks and plastic bags prices to remain unchanged as the Treasury pushes excise duty to January 2014
BY GRIFFINS OMWENGA
jsigei@ke.nationmedia.com eer consumers and cigarette smokers have a six-month reprieve before the taxman raids their pockets to help raise Sh961 billion in revenue needed to run government. This is the rst time the government has failed to levy tax on the two commodities during the pronouncement of a new budget, even as the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury said there was need to overhaul the Excise Duty Act. Beer and cigarette takers can continue having their eld day, but we will denitely adjust the taxes through the Excise Duty Bill, Mr Henry Rotich said during a press conference after reading the budget statement on Thursday. The Treasury will be aiming to raise an additional Sh14 billion from the measures to be contained in the proposed new law to make the total collection from excise duty to Sh85 billion in the current nancial year. We have to achieve this in order to help plug the decit of over Sh326 billion in the current budget and thats why we are working closely with the legislators to have the laws passed quickly and preferably over the next few months, said Mr Rotich. The Treasury hopes to have the Bill passed by December. Only Keg beer drinkers will be aected, for now, after government introduced a 50 per cent excise duty by cutting by half the 100 per cent tax remission previously accorded to manufacturers. Tax on Keg beer is expected to raise at least Sh6 billion.

Other beers and cigarette prices will remain unchanged, said the Cabinet secretary. Soft drink takers and plastic bag users will also benet from the reprieve. The Treasury will be hoping to avoid last years tax debacle in which former Finance minister Njeru Githae attempted to introduce a new method of taxing beer every three months. The law required the taxman to levy excise duty on wines, spirits and beer on the retail selling price, as opposed to the factory price. This meant that the taxman was to sample various retail prices on a quarterly basis to come up with an average price on which the excise duty would be based. The Kenya Revenue Authority termed the move unworkable and never implemented it. Domestic excise duty comprises mainly taxes on alcohol, tobacco, soft drinks and bottled water and plastics, with the rst two accounting for over 90 per cent of total collections. Investment Secretary Esther Koimett indicated that the government was seeking to harmonise the value added tax and excise duty laws to reduce administration cost. What we want are clearer laws.

We have been agitating to have a harmonised tax code in line with international best practices and this is what we are seeking to achieve, said Ms Koimett. Tax experts, however, say the move may not result in a major change in retail prices with much of the focus geared towards increasing the tax base. What the Treasury is seeking now is to enhance tax collection and yank away from the usual increases and instead ensure that all measures put to curb tax evasion are eliminated, said Mr Steve Okello, Director of Taxes at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Women and youth are the biggest beneciaries of Jubilees rst budget, Devolution and Planning Secretary Ann Waiguru said yesterday. Speaking on a live radio interview, Ms Waiguru said more money had been allocated to promoting maternal health and equipping young people with skills for self-reliance. She said a Bill was being prepared to provide for institutions where the two groups would be given skills for business management and seed capital for investment. She said the proposed amendment to the procurement law to reserve 30 per cent of public tenders for youth and persons with disability will guarantee them steady jobs and revenue. She said her ministry will issue guidelines on how to secure tenders and access loans through women and youth funds.
Managers who fail to remit taxes to the government will be held personally liable and made to pay once courts nd the company was in default. Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury, Henry Rotich said this was among the measures meant to tame tax evaders and cheats in the country. Steve Okello head of tax at PWC said the move will greatly aid the collection of revenue by the government. Mr Rotich said the Income Tax Act will be amended to enable the Commissioner to access the book of accounts for the companies that have been proved in court to be involved in evading payment of taxes or cheating on the amounts they pay to Kenya Revenue Authority. I propose to amend the Income Tax Act so as to empower the Commissioner to access books of accounts and where tax evasion is proved in Court, collect corporate tax from ocers of corporate bodies where they are convicted of tax frauds. These rare but bold measures are intended to deter tax cheats and enhance tax compliance,
Managers on notice
Under the income tax Act, directors and senior ocers of corporate bodies can be held liable for tax offences committed by the corporate body. Corporate tax has previously been imposed on the company and was viewed as a legal entity separate from the individual owners.
Mr Rotich said when he read the 2013 budget on Thursday. Some experts say the law will enable the government to reduce incidences of tax fraud while others warned that if not well implemented it could be misused by KRA ocials to go after innocent chief executive officers while letting the board in such companies get away. The law might apply more when a company goes under and tax fraud is detected, but this has to be proved in the court, said Mr George Maina, a senior tax manager at PKF East Africa.

Kimaiyo names county bosses

Battle lines drawn as InspectorGeneral exerts his authority and Kavuludi prepares to interview candidates
BY ANGIRA ZADOCK
zangira@ke.nationmedia.com olice boss David Kimaiyo has moved to stamp his authority by appointing county commanders even as the National Police Service Commission plans to conduct interviews for the same positions. Inspector-General Kimaiyo named 47 commanders and retained Mr Benson Kibue, a deputy commissioner of police, as the Nairobi County boss. Mr Edward Njoroge Mbugua, a senior assistant commissioner of police (S/ACP), will be in charge of Mombasa, while Central deputy PPO Gideon Amalla is the new Machakos County commander. Buruburu OCPD Hassan Barua and Ngong OCPD Simon Kiragu have been moved to Baringo and Kisii counties, respectively. Mr Kimaiyo appointed a DCP, two S/ACPs, eight Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACPs), and 36 Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs). The ranks of DCP, S/ACP, and ACP have since been scrapped. The appointments, in a statement dated June 14 and signed by deputy IGP Grace Kaindi, are to take eect immediately. But the move is likely to bring the police boss in conict with the Johnson Kavuludi-led commission, which, as the law stands currently, is mandated to advertise, interview, appoint and post the commanders.

And the commission has now called a meeting on Monday to discuss the move by Mr Kimaiyo, who is also a member. Last month, the commission advertised for the positions of county commanders for both the Kenya Police and the Administration Police. The deadline was on May 28, and Mr Kavuludi said that over 300 ocers had applied. The interviews were scheduled for later this month. Mr Kavuludi had accused Mr Kimaiyo of intimidating his officers from applying for the posts. But Mr Kimaiyo opposed the move, saying he was the one to appoint the commanders and forward the names to the commission for approval. Even though Mr Kimaiyo insists that functions such as the transfer and promotion of ocers lie squarely in his oce, the NPSC maintains that that is their role. Section 7(2) of the National Police Service Act dictates that all ocers undergo vetting by the commission to assess their suitability and competence. A Bill that seeks to amend the Act to give the police boss powers to promote, transfer and discipline ocers is set to be tabled in Parliament. Meanwhile, President Kenyatta has recalled all PPOs and provincial CID ocers and their deputies to Nairobi where they will join provincial commissioners as regional commanders.

Appellate Judges Martha Koome, Milton Makhandia and Kairu Gatembu overturned a High Court ruling that nullied the appointment of the 47 commissioners, saying that the former president was justied in invoking provisions of the Old Constitutional to make the appointments. Contrary to the High Court ndings, Sections 23 and 24 of the former constitution were in force when he invoked them to appoint and deploy county commissioners. The sections remained in force until the rst General Election under the Constitution was held on March 4, ruled the judges. The Appellate
Locals risk prosecution if found jigger-infested

Locals found infested by jiggers will face the full force of the law in Muranga once a new set of regulations is passed by the Assembly. Deputy Governor Gakure Monyo said regulations to ensure eradication of the vermins would be passed and those found infested will face consequences. While disputing that jiggers were caused by poverty, he said lack of proper hygiene and sanitation led to infestations.
This is a huge responsibility which cannot be left in the hands of politicians

Court ruled that since Mr Kibaki acted under provisions of the former constitution, there was no requirement for him to full Article 27 of the constitution which requires balanced regional and gender representation. The decision was welcomed by the Association of Muslims Organisation in Kenya (Amok) through its director-general Fazul Mohammed who said county commissioners will ensure security and stability in counties. This is a huge responsibility which cannot be left in the hands of politicians (governors) and can only be handled by an administrator, said Mr Fazul. High Court Judge Mumbi Ngugi last year nullified Mr Kibakis appointment of the commissioners, ruling that the former president did not have the power to appoint or deploy and that the appointments violated the constitutional requirement for gender equality and regional balance. She also ruled that the appointments violated the provision in the National Accord and Reconciliation Act which required him to consult with then Prime Minister Raila Odinga before making such

Whereas the AG advised Mr Kibaki to revoke the appointments and declined to appeal on behalf of the government, the ministry hired a private lawyer, Mr Kibe Mungai to argue its case before the Appellate Court in a move that raised questions on who should handle court cases on behalf of the government. The Appellate Judges however settled the dispute, ruling that since the Internal Security minister was a party in the High Court case, he was entitled to appeal even without the AGs consent.

AGRICULTURE | The ongoing saga at cereals board should worry the Jubilee government
Why Kenya is still a hungry nation after ve decades

Theres little support for farmers to reduce cost of production and enhance harvests via technology
BY MWANGI KIMENYI
satnation@ke.nationmedia.com ver the past 50 years, Kenyas agricultural sector has undergone some fundamental changes in some sub-sectors but the overall structure of production has remained largely the same. During the early years of independence, coee was the most important foreign exchange earner. Today, the most important export crops are tea and horticultural productsparticularly cut owers. However, the production of key foodstuspecically cerealsmaize, wheat and rice, has been sluggish. Given the fact that most Kenyans are dependent on agriculture , raising the productivity in the food sub-sector is pivotal to the well-being of Kenyans. This is a major challenge considering Kenyas limited arable land, scarce water resources and dominance of rain-fed agriculture. Economic development essentially entails increasing output for given units of resource. In agriculture, this means raising the output per unit of land and also per unit of labour employed in agriculture. Since independence, the production of maize, wheat and rice has increased but only marginally. For example, in 1963/1964, maize production was about 1.5 billion metric tonnes. By 2013/14, production was close to 2.7 billion metric tonnes. Rice production was just about 10,000 metric tons and increased to about 40,000 metric tons in 2011. Wheat production was about 100,000 metric tons in 1963/64 and increased to about 300,000 metric tons in 2011/12. But looking at the gross production of major foodstu is misleading. A better indicator is the per capita production so as to take into account of the increase in population. In per capita terms, the production of the various foodstus has actually declined. Per capita maize production in 1963/64 was 0.16 metric tonnes and this declined by 50 per cent to KENYA MAIZE PRODUCTION 1963-2011 (1000 MT)
Lack of access to markets has frustrated Kenyan farmers.

government programmes that contributed to the steady increase in output. These included access to subsidised nance especially for inputs, expansion of the land under cultivation and extension services and government buying and selling of output through marketing boards. During the market reforms period of the 1980s and 1990s, these supportive programmes were terminated or radically scaled back with adverse consequences in terms of production. One important feature of the trends of major crops is that production is marked by volatilitywith output increases followed by declines. The primary reason for this volatility is the

0.08 metric tonnes in 2011/12. The per capita wheat production has declined even more dramatically. The overall production of the major foodstus is the result of a combination of factors. The early years of independence were marked by various
fact that Kenyas agriculture is rain-fed with poor rain seasons being associated with poor harvests. Although the country has over time increased the amount of irrigated land, the irrigation schemes are poorly maintained and there is potential for more land to be put under irrigation. The other crucial factor explaining trends in output is the use of modern inputs especially fertilisers, pesticides and hybrid seeds which are crucial to modernisation of agriculture. To a large extent, production of in Kenya is traditional and as such the productivity per unit of land remains very low as compared to other countries. A particularly troublesome feature is the low use of chemical fertilisers. Asian countries have increased their use of fertilisers dramatically but use of the plant food in Kenya has been fairly at over the last 50 years. Consequently, Thailands per capita production of rice is 250 times that of Kenya. Also, farmers have low access to and rarely use hybrid seeds. Another important aspect of the low production of food has to do with access to markets. Those farmers who at least produce do not have access to markets. Finally, Kenyan farmers incur huge costs associated with postharvest losses. And the saga at the National Cereals and Produce Board should worry the Jubilee government as it has serious implications on the food sector.

Tension high as raiders set on re 20 homes

More than 20 homes were yesterday set ablaze by suspected Pokot raiders at Kagir and Barsuswo areas of Bartabwa division, North Baringo district. This is barely a day after people who had gone back to check on their abandoned homes and harvest honey escaped death narrowly after being shot at by another group of raiders. The new spate of attacks have sparked tension in the area where the government was planning to relocate more than 5,000 people who had ed their homes. Saimo-Soi ward County Assembly member Richard Kambala demanded that the government rolls out a disarmament exercise in neighbouring East Pokot District. The armed raiders are taking advantage of the governments continued delay in rolling out the exercise to terrorise our people. How long will our people suer for the government to act? posed Mr Kambala. More than 15 people among them three police ocers have killed since the beginning of the year in Marigat and Baringo north districts. Baringo police boss Charles Musewe said more security ocers had been posted to the volatile area to restore calm. Weve put in place measures to ensure those who ed their homes are taken back. Security will also be boosted in schools, said Mr Musewe.
Judge puts on hold scrutiny of ballots

The High Court has deferred an application seeking scrutiny and recount of votes cast in the Bungoma senatorial race until all parties in the case have been heard. Justice Francis Gikonyo said lawyers for the petitioner and respondents had raised serious matters that would be determined after they present their cases. However, he said the application was not premature as the law allows for the application to be made at any time during the petition hearing. The petition has been led by politician Musikari Kombo against Senator Moses Wetangula (below) and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Justice Gikonyo ordered an inquiry into allegations that 40 people who double-registered voted in the March 4 elections, as claimed by Mr Kombo. Justice Gikonyo ordered that registers from the mentioned polling stations be scrutinised and issued summonses for the 40 to appear before the court until the investigations into the matter are complete. Mr Kombos lawyer Alfred Ndambiri had applied for a scrutiny and recount of all votes cast in 802 polling stations after he closed his case on Wednesday. But lawyer Ochieng Oduol for Mr Wetangulas and Eric Gumbo representing IEBC opposed the application. Mr Wetangula took to the witness stand where he was cross examined on the Tokyo embassy deal by Mr Ndambiri. The Senator said investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, Auditor-General, the Finance and Foreign Affairs ministries had vindicated him. The President did not even want me to step aside. I did so because my conscience could not allow me to continue holding oce when there were pending accusations, he said.

Bensouda reveals four witnesses in Uhuru case

Defence had lodged request for time to probe credibilty of some witnesses
BY PETER LEFTIE
pmutibo@ke.nationmedia.com CC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda has nally revealed the identities of four witnesses in the case against President Kenyatta. The move appears to be in response to a request by President Kenyattas lawyers to have the case pushed from July 9 to January 2014 on grounds that they needed more time to investigate the credibility of some witnesses whose identities had not been disclosed. In a communication to the trial chamber, Ms Bensouda said she had on Wednesday disclosed to Mr Kenyattas defence team the identities of witnesses 430, 494, 506 and 510. For the sake of completeness, the Prosecution disclosed Witness 494s handwritten notes created during his interview with the Prosecution, Ms Bensouda informed the Trial Chamber. She also forwarded transcripts of interviews with a witness simply known as Witness 217 together with screening notes which had been concealed to protect the He suggested that the trial be pushed to January next year but this has been opposed by the prosecutor who contends that it is not justied. In the event that the trial chamber accedes to Mr Kenyattas request, the Prosecutor suggested that they set the start date to immediately after September 9 when the Courts summer recess ends. Deputy President William Ruto who also faces charges at the ICC successfully pushed for the postponement of his case from May 28 to September 10, a day after the Court reconvenes after the summer recess. Ms Bensouda acknowledged that Mr Kenyatta was entitled to an adequate period to prepare but argued that an additional seven months would constitute superuous amounts of time. The Prosecutor noted that Mr Kenyatta had already been granted three additional months from the previous start date of April so he should be able to adequately prepare before July 9. The Defence bears the burden of justifying any additional time over and above that period. The seven points raised in the Adjournment Submission fail to satisfy that burden, Ms Bensouda argued.

State to pay ex-MPs Sh25m

Politician Imanyara, former lawmaker Gatabaki and journalist awarded damages for rights violations during clamour for reforms
uman rights violations committed by former President Mois regime continue to pile the burden on taxpayers after a court ordered the government to pay three former victims Sh32 million. The High Court yesterday declared that state security agents and institutions repeatedly and grossly violated fundamental rights and freedoms of Gitobu Imanyara, Njehu Gatabaki and Bedan Mbugua. Having been unlawfully arrested, detained, tortured and subjected to inhuman treatment during the agitation for democratic reforms the Second Liberation Mr Imanyara has been awarded Sh15 million. Mr Gatabaki, who suffered similar violations as the Editorin-Chief of the Finance magazine, will be compensated Sh10 million, while Mr Mbugua, who was also a journalist, was awarded
Sh7 million. The three sued the government in 2010 at the High Court in Nairobi.

Mr Gatabaki claimed he suffered the violations at dierent times between 1990 and 2002, when he was arrested and held in various prisons under degrading conditions. He was the Editor in Chief of the Finance Magazine, which was raided in 1990 and 50,000 copies conscated. He claims he was targeted because he was strong advocate for good governance and championed constitutional reforms. Mr Mbugua met his troubles with the state, rst as an editor of Beyond magazine and later as an editor at the People newspaper. He claims he was harassed, arrested and detained many times between 1994 and 1998. Other victims who have been recently awarded by court include Otieno Makonyango (Sh20 million), Rumba Kinuthia (Sh1.5 million), Harun Thungu Wakaba and 21 others (each was awarded between Sh1 million and Sh3 million), Koigi Wamwere (Sh2.5 million) and Miguna Miguna (Sh1.5 million).
The British government is challenging groups that feel left out of the compensation scheme oered to Mau Mau veterans to petition the matter in UK courts. UK High Commissioner in Nairobi Christian Turner on Thursday evening told reporters that the cash payment was specic for the MauMau War Veterans Association but complaints can be led in court in case anyone feels left out. The settlement, he added, was reached between the British government and the Mau mau War Veterans Association and it was specic to a set of personal injuries. As far as other groups are concerned, in the end, any group has the right to bring the case under British laws to the courts, he told journalists in Nairobi during the birthday celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II.

Mutua picks team to resolve land row

Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has appointed a taskforce to resolve a long lasting land dispute in the county. Dr Mutua named a 12member committee to be chaired by the countys minister for Land, Energy and Natural resources Mr Joshua Musili and AIC Machakos bishop Rev Bernard Musyoki Nguyo as secretary. Their task is to look into the Kiima Kimwe land dispute which has been on and o law courts for over 15 years and help nd a lasting solution to the problem. Kiima Kiimwe land crusaders claim possession of a huge chunk of land part of which the governor has identied for the proposed Machakos ICT City. The group claims the land is ancestral and was snatched from their forefathers by the colonial administration. Dr Mutua recently held an investor conference where prominent business people toured the land. The conference ended with a pledge to put up investments worth more than Sh57 billion.

The High Court yesterday quashed a decision by the Nakuru County Assembly to reject nine nominees proposed to the cabinet and public service commission.

In the ex parte application, Mr Koech said the Assembly failed to conduct its business as required and rejected the names without debate thereby showing an ulterior motive was at play. Only four names were approved while Prof Mary Kariuki, Dr Julius Ogeto, Mrs Pollyne Anyango, Dr Stanley Chepkwony, Mr Joseph Kosgei and Mrs Mary Wanjiru were rejected as cabinet members.

Use whats available to step up war on crime

ven though the police have been allocated only half of what they had asked for to ght crime, this will not, in any way, lower the publics expectations on security. The people whose family members are butchered by armed raiders in their homes or victims of the terror attacks in Nairobi and Mombasa, will not be bothered by concerns within the police leadership that the force got only Sh67 billion to carry out its vital duty of protecting the lives and property of Kenyans. The government, we believe, would have had no problem with granting the Sh134 billion sought by Inspector-General David Kimaiyo, knowing the key role the force has to play in ensuring law and order to enable the nation to develop. The economy, as National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich succinctly put it, will rely heavily on improved security. A people constantly under siege from armed criminals and other vermin cannot be expected to freely go about their productive activities. However, the police chief and his team will appreciate that it is not only the security sector whose requests for funding have been slashed. The Budget is tight for all, with massive cuts having been eected in other areas in a bid to meet a huge shortfall. The police and other sectors will have to go back to the drawing board to revise their projections and be able to operate within what is available. Cabinet Secretary Rotich is certainly not a security professional, but he has a pretty good idea on what IGP Kimaiyo and his team need to give priority to. They should increase patrols, provide equipment and motor vehicles, research on crime trends and build houses for police ocers. This is the best way to give the public an assurance on their safety and also boost the morale of the ocers to carry out their vital but risky duty. The general improvement in security around the country, with the recent mysterious killings in Bungoma and Busia having been curbed, is proof of the forces increasing eectiveness. However, much more work still needs to be done, especially to prevent the increasing incidents of grenade attacks by terrorists allied to Somalias AlShabaab. But even as we expect the ocers to do more, community support is vitally important in policing as the force cannot cover every spot to protect everybody.

Theres need for an independent team to probe conduct of election

It is not possible for the electoral commission to reform itself given its inherent self-interest and the constant shifting goals
hile on a visit to the United States, the chairman of the Electoral and Boundaries Commission, Issack Hassan is reported to have acknowledged that Kenyans have resentment and anger over the management of the General Election. He also admitted that there were shortcomings on the part of the IEBC in the manner in which it managed the elections. Hassan now recognises that the commission took too ambitious an approach in managing the March 4 election, citing the breakdown of electronic voter identication devices and the computer system for reporting results. He is reported to have said that the IEBC should have carried out more consultations about the technology it deployed in the elections and tested it in advance. Hassan also said the commission should have done a better job of managing public expectations on how it was going to run the elections. He said the IEBC had learnt lessons, which will be applied in future elections. with constant shifting of goalposts, it will not be possible to agree on how to overcome the diculties that the last elections represent. As the history of this country shows, elections matter. The post-election violence emanated from an electoral dispute. Also, after the 1988 Mlolongo voting, which the Kanu regime used to impose its preferred leadership in sections of the country where it was unpopular, there was a groundswell of ill-will towards the government, culminating in the street riots of 1990 and 1991. At that time, the resentment and anger that Hassan now acknowledges was most evident in central Kenya, where Kanu had imposed leaders on the people. In four years, Kenya will hold another set of elections, which will be informed by the unanswered questions surrounding the last vote. It is obvious that there will need to be signicant reforms at the IEBC ahead of those elections. It is not possible, however, for the IEBC to reform itself, given its inherent self-interest and also the constant shifting of positions that it has been engaged in regarding the elections. What is needed at this time is an independent ofcial inquiry into the aairs of the IEBC, and into the manner in which it conducted the last elections. In the absence of such an inquiry, the Law Society of Kenya has announced that it will investigate the conduct of the last elections. While this is to be encouraged and supported, it is not a substitute for an ofcial probe. The method for carrying out such a review is through a commission of inquiry. In law, such a commission is appointed by the President. Since the President and his party participated in the last elections, it would be necessary for other players in the same ballot to have condence in the commission of inquiry. This can only be generated if the other players are allowed representation in the commission of inquiry. The commission should have the mandate to look comprehensively into all aspects of the management of the elections, and should report within a short period of time, say six-to-eight months. Last-minute reforms, a curse of Kenyas recent electoral history, will be avoided if the country takes action while there is still time to implement any agreements reached. The appointment of a commission of inquiry will save the IEBC from the forlorn eorts it is currently making in purporting to reform itself. gkegoro@gmail.com
No room for power ghts

esterdays Court of Appeal decision that upheld the role of county commissioners has set an interesting stage in their already uneasy relationship with the 47 governors. The ruling that former President Mwai Kibaki acted within the law by making these appointments in the twilight of his leadership, has eectively secured the county commissioners jobs. It is bound to put a new spring in their step that could bring to the fore the tension that has been simmering since the governors took oce, following the March 4 election. But even before this decision was made, President Kenyatta seemed ready to see the commissioners work alongside the governors, as the new governance structure takes shape. During the Madaraka Day celebrations, the commissioners were visible as the Presidents representative in the counties. Of course, this has remained a controversial issue, as the critics see this as evidence of a reluctance to fully embrace the devolved system. As matters stand now, the commissioners are legally in oce and the governors cannot just wish them away. Therefore, both ocials will have nd a way to accommodate each other as they exercise their authority in the counties.

Where do the remarks by the chairman leave the country? In the safety of a foreign trip, Hassan is now accepting blame for things that he denied at all material times, including during the actual elections. In court during the election petitions led against the presidential election results, Hassan and the IEBC asserted that the failures that he now accepts had not taken place, and that the IEBC ran free and fair elections. In his world, there are multiple truths regarding the management of the elections, depending on what audience he is addressing. This is frustrating because

BUDGET | Magesha Ngwiri
Target the rich and luxury items for more taxes, not unga, milk or bread
t is unbelievable that such a young government can harbour a death-wish. Even if desperate times call for desperate measures, raising the price of maize-our by 16 per cent can only be described as potentially suicidal. That is what a Bill before Parliament proposes to do. It should be shot down promptly. Apparently, the government intends to table the Value Added Tax Bill (2012), which will slap a 16 per cent levy on basic food commodities, namely unga, bread, milk and rice. On top of that, all farm inputs, which were heretofore zero-rated, will also be taxed. Among those pushing for this measure are the new Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, Mr Henry Rotich, and the Kenya Revenue Commission director-general, Mr John Njiraini. Now, these two gentlemen are quite knowledgeable in their professions, one a seasoned accountant and the other an economist of no mean repute. They have probably done their math and concluded that this country will benet enormously should Parliament endorse this Bill in its entirely. I am no economist, but I highly doubt that the majority of Kenyans will welcome with glee any kind of price increase in basic food items which they can hardly aord in the rst place. This is not populism; it is the reality. Let us suppose a packet of unga costs Sh100, which seems to be the average. The majority of Kenyans we are talking about 26 million souls cannot aord that amount, because this is what they earn daily.
The people least likely to revolt due to the rumbling of their empty bellies are the ones who earn a decent living
Consumers to pay more for basic items such as our, tooth paste and sugar.
All they can aord to buy is half that amount at Sh50, and spread out the rest of their daily earnings on bus fare, cooking fat, paran for the stove and so on the whole gamut of the kadogo economy. What is left for them to live on? The jobless, low-income earners, and even the lower middle classes could not give a hoot whether the prices of computers, software, and even electricity went up. They will not pour into the streets if water drilling service tax or airport parking fees go through the roof. But they care deeply what their children will eat in the evening. Granted, a 16 per cent tax on previously exempted food items will add a few more billions to the public coers. It will also give
the taxman an easier time for, apparently, he has been spending sleepless nights trying to gure out how to refund VAT to businesspeople. But at what cost? This measure may turn out to be the costliest gae of this administration in terms of social unrest in the short term, and a hugely retrogressive step for the economy in the long run. When the people decide they have nothing left to lose, the consequences will be catastrophic for everyone. Instead of pushing to the wall the majority of Kenyans who are already wallowing in the mire of deprivation, the government should explore innovative ways of soaking the super-rich and the modestly afuent for the common good. This may sound simplistic, but it is common sense. The people least likely to revolt due to the rumbling of their empty bellies are the ones who earn a decent living. And in any case, they are a tiny minority. Having said that, I dont buy the argument that slapping a 16 per cent tax across the board and then seeking ways to cushion the poor through subsidies is the most ecient, or eective, thing to do. It is, actually, sheer sophistry. Three years ago, the government came up with a hare-brained subsidy programme in which a packet of unga would sell at two dierent prices one for the poor and the higher one for the rest and what happened? Total chaos. A few plucky fellows minted millions though. Is that what we really want? amagesha@ke.nationmedia.com
This Bangla-Pesa economy is not good for Kenya

angladesh, the sprawling slum that is home to nearly 3,000 families in Mombasa, is setting a bad example for the rest of Kenya. As if making false pretences to the name of a country is not enough, their business people are now working to alienate Kenyans from loving their money. Just when everybody was getting besotted with the colour of the one-thousand-shilling note, traders in the Bangladesh community have introduced Bangla-Pesa. They say it is a voucher for barter trade, but really, it is a brazen betrayal of the shilling. Is the silver not of the nest quality? Are the security features on the notes not of sucient beauty? Someone needs to ask these people if they think they are on Piccadilly Street for them to introduce Monopoly money into the economy. They say Bangla-Pesa forms a buer against uctuations in the money supply due to uncertainties in remittances, weather, holidays, sending children to school, political turmoil and so on. Who needs something like that? Next, there will be MatharePesa and there is no telling where it will end. While the Cabinet secretary for Treasury is changing laws to encourage investors to put their money in the East Africas stock exchanges, the business people of Bangladesh are issuing their own currency and pretending it is only a promissory note. Not that you can buy a Senator Keg with it, even with a 50 per cent tax cut on it. The 50 per cent tax cut on Senator Keg is meant to boost agricultural activities in barley and sorghum growing areas, but what do they want to do? Barter trade, thats what. They have no interest in the taxes government wants to get from gambling. They have no interest in paying the railway tax. They have no interest in the tax on our, milk and eggs. And this at a time when Kenya needs to spend Sh1.6 trillion! The country has a Sh1.8 trillion debt a trillion borrowed from outside and Sh800 billion at home. Still, the women business owners in Bangladesh, who live below the bread line, do not care. They want to use Bangla-Pesa to pay for food, water, beer, washing clothes, tailoring, cobblering, manual labour, motorcycle rides and mechanical repairs. Bangla-Pesa claims to utilise excess capacity to increase daily sales and spending in Bangladesh. The people behind it need to be interrogated on why they have excess capacity in the rst place before they start doing barter with it. The idea of credit without interest oends the economic principles of good government. With a Sh356.9 billion decit of which donors must give Sh67.4 billion in grants and local borrowing the balance of Sh246 billion for development how does the country repay loans if people hide money in private promissory notes? These are people sabotaging the Sh4.9 billion schools laptops project; they do not want to support the Sh8.6 billion for youth polytechnics, and care nothing for the Higher Education Loans Board Sh4.9 billion to support university learning. They are indierent to the need for Sh10 billion for primary education just because they do not have primary schools. And they have no interest in the Sh8 billion irrigation projects. They just want to trade without the exchange of money. The people behind Bangla-Pesa may pretend that they do not want to replace Kenyan Shilling, but in their hearts, they want to create their own economy. They want to replace the worldrenowned mobile phone money system, M-Pesa. It is economic sabotage. Period. kwamchetsi@formandcontent.co.ke

What an empty apology from Britain! S

unday, January 30, 1972 is a day engraved in the memory of Irish people. On that day British paratrooper soldiers shot dead 14 unarmed human rights demonstrators and injured dozens others in Derry City. It took two inquires and 38 years before the British government in the person of Prime Minister David Cameron apologised unambiguously for the unjustied and unjustiable killings. Early this year, compensation of $80,000 was oered to each victims family but that gesture has been rejected as inadequate. Last week, Mr Cameron delegated his foreign secretary William Hague to announce that each of the 5,228 Kenyans enjoined to the KHRC case of torture and illegal detention from six decades ago would receive a paltry $4,000 each. He proceeded to render a sincere regret for those events. The out-of-court settlement was welcomed by the legal teams in Kenya and Britain and by
Kenyans hardly need reminding of the Emergency that resulted in the deaths of 50,000 Kenyans and 32 settlers
many of the torture survivors. But many found the announcement a distasteful and disgraceful ending to what had started out as a noble project by KHRC and the torture survivors. That Mr Cameron did not deem it necessary to take personal responsibility was telling in itself, while a sincere regret is a long way short of an apology. It seemed to me that Mr Hague was merely regretting having to use such excessive force rather that genuinely feeling shame and sorrow for the rape, detention and torture of Kenyans. Paul Muite dismissed the
payment grievances arguing that the public acknowledgment was the key element in the settlement. But when victims have been denied justice for 60 years, when they languish in poverty and carry the scars of torture, castration and rape in their bodies what sort of compensation is Sh300,000? In 2003 Libya paid $10 million to each of the families of the Lockerbie plane bombing and more recently Britain paid a Libyan dissident $3.3 for rendition and torture. The High Court in Kenya granted survivors of Nyayo Chambers Sh2 million each. Monetary compensation is not everything but it is new beginning if you live in destitution. Then there is the issue of the monument that Britain wants to erect in Nairobi. One would hope that the victims would be part of the design team and perhaps another monument might be erected in Trafalgar Square. Kenyans hardly need reminding of the
Emergency that resulted in the deaths of 50,000 Kenyans and 32 settlers. However, the British public need a monument of shame to the horrors of empire building and the price local communities paid. The rushed out-of-court settlement was a prelude to the enactment of the Justice and Security Act, 2013 which comes into law next month in Britain. Among other things it permits secret courts in the public interest which is clearly intended to conceal state responsibility for human rights violations of this nature. Two weeks ago, the UN Committee against Torture reprimanded Britain for its failure to investigate historical torture in Northern Ireland and for its counter-terrorism methods of today. Makes you think that there is a secret torture policy in Britain and that is why apologies are not forthcoming and compensation is paltry. gdolan54@gmail.com

FAIR PLAY | Peter Mwaura
Mandela visit helped bring back the swag in the ideals Kimathi died for
hat is Nelson Mandelas legacy to Kenya? He helped to restore our national consciousness regarding the contribution of the Mau Mau to our liberation struggle as well as that of other Africans. When he visited Kenya in July 1990, shortly after he was released from imprisonment, he inquired about the location of the grave of Field Marshall Dedan Kimathi. He also asked for the whereabouts of his widow Mukami as well as General China, one of the key leaders of the Mau Mau uprising. General China (Waruhiu Itote) died on April 30, 1993. Mandela, born only two years earlier than Dedan Kimathi, told thousands of Kenyans who ocked to hear him speak at Kasarani Stadium: In my 27 years of imprisonment, I always saw the image of ghters such as Kimathi, China, and others as candles in my long and hard war against injustice. Speaking in front of a giant portrait of President Daniel arap Moi, he continued: It is an honour for any freedom ghter to pay respect to such heroes. The speech caused discomfort and major

Nelson Mandela, Africas most celebrated stateman

embarrassment to President Moi who, like Jomo Kenyatta before him, had refused to publicly acknowledge the Mau Mau as national heroes and Kimathi as a legendary gure who inspired other freedom ghters in Africa. The administrations of Kenyatta and Moi maintained the ban on the Mau Mau, imposed by the British colonialists in 1952. Kimathi remained an unsung hero, his remains buried in an unmarked grave known only to the British. But the rest of Africa continued to pay homage to the Mau Mau, who fought the only liberation war in Africa that received no outside help. As Raphael Njoroge observes in his book Education for Renaissance in Africa published in 2004, the Mau Mau, who took an oath to die for their convictions, won the hearts of many freedom ghters in other parts of Africa for their undaunted spirit and selfsacrice for the liberation of their people. To the Mau Mau ghters, being imprisoned, detained, killed, tortured and maimed meant nothing. That kind of spirit was adopted by freedom ghters in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola, Namibia and particularly in South Africa. The Mau Mau liberation story inspired not only Mandela and other African freedom ghters but also the literature of liberation. Josiah Mwangi Kariuki, popularly known as JM Kariuki, was the rst to write his memoirs
about his experiences in the liberation struggle. His classic Mau Mau Detainee, published in 1963, set the pattern for other liberation memoirs such as Mandelas Long Walk to Freedom (1995), John Ya-Ottos Battlefront Namibia (1982) and Moses Dlaminis Robben Island Hell-Hole (1980). It is also noteworthy that Dedan Kimathis world view is pretty much reected by that of Mandela. One of the often quoted statements from Kimathi says: The journey to freedom is full of sacrices, tears, hunger, clothes full of lice, blood and death. Nelson Mandela said during his 1963 Rivonia Trial: I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. Mandela, no doubt, would readily agree with Kimathi who also said: I consider myself a great African patriot ghting, not for the liberation of Kenya alone, but for East Africa and the rest of the continent. gigirimwaura@yahoo.com
This is why the beautyful ones are not yet born

read The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born, a ctional title by the Ghanaian novelist Ayi Kweyi Arma, decades ago. But a small fact remains in my head about that title. The adjective beautyful is spelt with a y, not with an i. I cannot remember why. But I know this: It is not for nothing that a creative writer may make such a remarkable break with customary use. The bet, then, is that, through it, Arma is trying to make a point. Another memorable example is found in the work of another West African novelist. The noun drinkard in Amos Tutuolas title Palm Wine Drinkard does not exist in ordinary English. But Palm Wine Drinkard is not written in ordinary English. Tutuola often coins his own words, and with the ease of Lewis Carroll in the poem Jabberwocky (in Alice Through The Looking-glass). And Tutuola breaks English grammar with the joyful abandon and scornful laughter of Okot pBitek in full ight in the telling of an Acholi oral tale. But, in this way, Tutuola brings his whole literary scheme into line with his Nigerian mother tongue and culture. What would have happened if a know-it-all editor had changed drinkard to drunkard or simply drinker (the former being one of the ordinary English words for a sot, a habitually drunken person)? In particular, if in his self-righteous ignorance the editor had corrected the narration from the continuous to the simple past tense, he would have ruined Tutuolas whole ethico-intellectual project. To be sure, the ilk of Tutuolas hero daily consume a great deal of palm wine. On occasion, we even see them staggering. Yet the image that emerges from Tutuolas drinkards and it is never anything else but palm wine is not that of alcoholics. What Jennifer Kimani of Kenyas Nacada condemns as drug and substance abuse is not the target of Tutuolas literary salvo. Palm wine drinkards are what you might call cultural drinkers. For their drinking is always deeply intertwined with the ethnic communitys daily work rhythm. It is the ritual unction and magic with which collective work is inspirited and collective living is cemented and celebrated. It is certain I reiterate that, by coining the adjective beautyful for his title, Armah is sending across a certain social or moral or intellectual message. That is why it was disgusting that, in an article in last Saturdays Standard, the writer or was it perhaps the sub-editor? corrected beautyful to beautiful in all his mentions of Armahs title. But, if beauty from the French adjective beau and noun beaute refers to a combination of qualities that delight the senses and the mind, what combination would say is full of beauty about any African state since independence? Perhaps the answer to Armah is that, in UhuRuto, the beautyful ones have just been born in Kenya. But, despite brilliant signs, that remains to be seen. philipochieng39@yahoo.com

Long live Madiba, you did us all proud W

e must let go of Madiba. Not his memory. Not his legacy. Not his accomplishments. But we must be willing to let him leave us. This past week, hundreds of reporters have staked out the hospital where he is being treated in South Africa for a serious lung infection. I do not know why it takes 100 reporters to tell us that a man is alive or dead. The real story lies outside of the hospital grounds and rests in a continent, which has been too often characterised by apartheid, human tragedy and conict. The real Mandela story is that Africans, by working together, can change their world and have. Look at Kenya. The middle class, which used to be virtually non existent, may soon reach 20 percent of the population. There is a demand for quality on all levels in many African countries, and there is a burgeoning educational system to support the transformation. My suspicion is all of this would have happened, but not as fast without Mandela. This past week, I was at one of the top universities in Asia. The students are brilliant, trained in everything from engineering to high technology. But they have been surprised by my stories of a prospering Africa. I told the students that I met the
Moral message
Thank God, Mandela will die much more peacefully. His spirit will inspire Africa for many years
leader who was called the Nelson Mandela of Korea in 2007. His name was Kim DaeJung. Like Mandela, he had been jailed by his adversaries and was almost killed. He was greatly misunderstood by many Koreans, because he wanted to pursue peace with North Korea. In fact, many thought he would destroy South Korea if ever elected. But he did not. In fact, he won the Nobel Peace Prize for pursuing what was known as the Sunshine Policy, which created factories in North Korea, encouraged visits between the North and the South and many economic activities. I talked to him shortly before he died. His message was simple: South Korea must continue to work for peace and to strive for the unication of the Korean peninsula. Like Mandela, he was not rich just very determined with an intuitive knowledge of people. And he was inuenced by Madiba. Mandela is not without his heroes. One of the biggest was a poor Indian lawyer,
who found his passion in South Africa. Trained in London - and a friend of writers like Henry David Thoreau - this lawyer could not nd legitimate work in his own country and so he headed to Africa in hopes of establishing himself. Mahatma Ghandi quickly found his lifes work. He was thrown o a South African train because he refused to give up his seat. That one incident helped him realise that discrimination was widespread. So he spent 20 years of his life in South Africa ghting discrimination on every level, and molding his non-violent strategy that he later used to throw the British out of India. Along the way, he inspired a young man, Nelson Mandela. Two days before Ghandi was assassinated in January 1948, he said: If I am to die by the bullet of a mad man, I must do so smiling. There must be no anger within me. God must be in my heart and on my lips. Thank God, Mandela will die much more peacefully. In the decades to come, his spirit will continue to lift the continent. New industries will be born, and new leaders will be found. But none will quite be like Mandela in the memories of those who lived through his time. Letters9876@gmail.com

Varsity students have to pay higher hostel fees
I welcome the plan to review public university fees upwards. The idea of taxpayers footing subsidised accommodation for the so-called government students ies in the face of equity and justice. In public universities , students have turned their hostels into kitchens that cost taxpayers millions in monthly electricity bills. University managers, fearing for their jobs, simply use fee-paying students moneys to pay these astronomical bills. Parallel students are not allowed to stay in these hostels. Additionally, the idea that there should be wage differentials for lecturers of dierent courses is not only ill conceived and obnoxious, it is simply unprecedented anywhere in the world.

TALKING POINT
THE CUTTING EDGE

BY THE WATCHMAN
MPS SALARIES. With the creation of more constituencies and special seats, the work of MPs has been greatly reduced, which is why they should be paid less than what their counterparts in the 10th Parliament earned, says Milton Odhiambo. Instead of 210 constituencies, there are 290 today, which are represented by 290 MPs, 47 womens representatives, 47 Senators, and 47 Governors. He adds: In fact, their monthly salary of Sh530,000 should be slashed. His contact is odhiambomilton@yahoo.com. EVICTION. Following the eviction of journalists from the media centre at Parliament Buildings by MPs bent on increasing their salaries, media houses should give them a total blackout, urges Antony Alex Irungu. However, he fears that in the absence of media cameras, Parliament grounds might become a haven for cutting shady deals. We, the taxpayers, have a right to know what happens inside and outside that building. His contact is antolex2001@yahoo.com. FARE HIKE. Matatu operators are ripping o students of Taita Taveta University College, who are forced to pay Sh70 for a seven-kilometre journey from Voi town to their campus, moans Evans Nyongesa. Matatu crews, he adds, have perfected the art of extortion, theft and violation of trac rules. Students pleas to the authorities, he claims, have fallen on deaf ears, as matatus crews plying the VoiMwatate road continue to behave as if they are above the law. His contact is nyongs1990@gmail.com. GOOD DEED. One of the best people Tom Arody has ever encountered, he says, is a man who assisted him when he had a tyre burst near Salgaa on the Eldoret-Nakuru-Nairobi highway at 2.30am, a fortnight ago. He didnt expect other motorists to stop and assist at that ungodly hour, but help arrived in the form of a man, who had a blanket around his shoulders. The man got down to work, changed the wheel and wished him a safe journey to Nairobi. He didnt ask for any money and didnt even tell me his name, says Tom, whose contact is tomarody@yahoo.com. RESTITUTION. Happy to note that the British Government has nally agreed to pay some compensation to Mau Mau victims for the atrocities committed against them 50 years ago, Peter Wandabwa says it is a welcome signal to others with similar complaints to also press for payment. Peter singles out members of the Dini ya Musambwa sect, who were also tortured during the colonial era. Some of the sects members, he adds, were shot dead at Malakisi trading centre in Bungoma in 1948, and their leader, Elijah Masinde, detained. For the details, his contact is wandabwapeter@yahoo.com.

Ministry should clear the air on content for school laptops

resident Uhuru Kenyatta last week met representatives from software giant, Microsoft, and asked them to help set up the infrastructure for the laptop project for children entering class one next year. The president insisted that the government would not allow foreign content to be dumped in the country, and that Kenyans will be facilitated to develop local content. What baes observers in the publishing industry is that there has been plenty of political talk about it, but the government has remained very economical with clear details in terms of policy directives. What content will be installed in the laptops? Who will develop the content and when this will be done? What measures are in place to protect the children from unscrupulous content developers who may want to cash in? A project of this magnitude needs proper planning to avoid unseemly teething problems. The experience with the biometric voter identication systems that failed in the last general elections is still fresh in Kenyans minds. The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development is
After deportation, deal with local drug lords

We have a serious drug problem in Kenya. It is mostly foreigners who operate this dirty business. West Africans are experts in this business. Kenya has freely granted them freedom to operate in some of our towns. Drug dealers deserve death of life sentences. Most Asian countries already recommend death sentences for drugs oences. Deporting foreign drug dealers is just one of the ways of dealing with the problem. However, we have some local dealers who appear untouchable due to their police and political connections. President Kenyatta must understand that Kenyans elected him because he showed a lot of promise to rebuild the country and deal rmly and swiftly with the corruption and issues like drug dealing.

not helping matters either. Recently, it announced that it had already developed the content and was waiting for January to send it to schools. Which guidelines did KICD use to develop content, and why is the institute being allowed to do so to the exclusion of other players in the industry? This is one reason the Kenya Publishers Association reject KICDs moves. President Kenyatta also stressed that Kenyans will be empowered to develop local content. When will they be facilitated, by which government agency and in what form? Has the KICD already been facilitated to do the work or do they know something that other players is the book industry do not know? Publishers and other interested players intending to develop content are clearly at a loss. The government should provide answers to these and other questions that threaten to dog this ambitious project. I can bet my last coin that the matter will remain in limbo until January, when someone will suddenly start doing things in a hurry. NICHOLAS KALOKI, Machakos
MPs wrong to victimise journalists in salary row

Our law makers seem determined to vent their frustrations against anyone who seems to have played a role in lobbying against their agitation for a salary increment. At rst, they threatened to reduce the presidents salary. Well it seems that hard working journalists have had to bite the bullet for reporting and exposing what we have fought against for decades. With nothing to show for their current stay in Parliament but gluttony, it seems that they have acquired a pig-sized appetite that is here to stay for the next four years. DAVE MUNGAI, Nairobi
Protesters should not use blood in demonstrations

Our Constitution is loud on freedom of demonstration and picketing but silent on the manner in which they should be undertaken. Perhaps this is why we see extreme protests against MPs. There are people who sicken at the sight of blood. I can only imagine how they felt when protesters poured blood during the two Operation Occupy Parliament demonstrations. I beseech the civil society to conduct their protests in empathetic and mindful ways. But since there are no laws that govern them, they should carry a viewer discretion sign.

Odinga should live like the poor instead of complaining

It is pleasing that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has not publicly commented on the ongoing airport saga involving him and his family. My take on the whole saga is that the Mr Odinga should join us, the ordinary folk, and feel what we go through every day of our lives. He should queue with us at airports, banks, hospitals and schools, join us for ugali and nyama choma, ride with us in matatus and experience the trafc jams. Mr Odinga is known not to enjoy a rst class life in a country where ordinary citizens are suering. JOB MOMANYI, Nairobi

Dilemma for countries in quest for green growth

Societal preferences and moral choices make it dicult for societies to strike the balance between material progress and environmental protection
ow Green Should Economic Growth Be? First dilemma. When your country sells its oil, copper, or timber, it is actually swapping one asset for another: out goes a natural resource, in comes cash. Your national net worth has not changed. Now, if the cash is invested wisely, you might be better o rather than leaving hydrocarbons, minerals, or trees sitting idle, you would have healthier children, more educated workers, better infrastructure and so on. But does that mean that you should drill, mine or cutdown as much, and as soon as possible? Second dilemma. An investor is about to build a huge clothing factory that will employ thousands of poor people. These are wellpaying jobs, badly-needed tax revenues, and if things go well, a shot at attracting other investors. There is a catch though: the factorys runo will slowly pollute the local river. In 30 years, its water will be foul and unusable. But people are suering now. Would you join a demonstration to stop the construction of the new factory? Third dilemma. A populous developing country nds a way to quickly grow its economy. Its billion citizens begin to demand condos, cars, refrigerators, and steaks. Producing all this for them will add tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere that is already too warm, because citizens in rich countries have been buying condos, cars, refrigerators, and steaks for decades. In the end, global warming will hurt everyone catastrophic oods, terrible droughts, and devastating storms. Should international organisations persuade that developing country to slow down the pace of its economic growth? Fourth dilemma. A hydro-power dam could solve your countrys perennial lack of electricity, and unleash its industrial potential. This will surely be good for the environment, because there will be less need to burn coal. Engineers are happy with the projects safety standards, and bankers are lined up to nance it. But just when the bulldozers are about to move in, someone nds out that the dams reservoir will submerge the habitat of a particular type of squirrel that cannot survive anywhere else. That species will be gone forever. What do you do? Final dilemma. Your economy depends heavily on imported oil from countries whose politics are unstable. The oil is then used to fuel cars whose emissions ruin the air. A local entrepreneur suddenly invents a new technology to extract gas from underground rocks. The procedure sounds brutal: you drill down deep and then blast the rocks with high-pressure water and chemicals. Out comes a lot of gas that can replace the dirty oil. But you are unsure what the long-term eects of all that subterranean blasting will be. Contaminated ground water? Leaks? Earthquakes? Even the name of the excavation technique fracking sounds a bit scary. Do you shut it down and continue to burn foreign oil, or do you try the new technology? By now, you should be struggling with the economic, social, geopolitical, ecological, and technological content of these dilemmas. If so, welcome to the quest for green growth, that is, for the right balance between material progress and environmental protection. There is much debate over where, and how to strike that balance. The debate boils down to societal preferences and moral choicesso, of course, there is little agreement. The cari-
cature of the heartless economist and the tree-hugging environmentalist shouting past each other comes to mind. But dont throw in your intellectual towel just yet. Well before one gets to extreme dilemmas, there is a lot that can be done based on common sense to make growth greener without making it slower. There are win-wins. To start with, governments could put order in the subsidies they give out. The prices of gasoline, electricity, water, and even food are usually subsidised this is true in many countries, developed and developing. Because people dont pay for the true cost of what they consume, they have less incentive to conserve why would you unplug your chargers at night if the electricity bill is ridiculously cheap? These price subsidies are not just inecient but also unfair: who drives the biggest cars and lives in the biggest houses? Certainly not the poor. Still, by some estimates, the world spends about a trillion
But, as with so many things in development, politics and the power of those who benet from the status quo gets in the way of action, and reforms either dont happen, or take a long time
dollars a year on this kind of giveaways. Industries could be much faster in adopting cleaner technologies that already exist. Why arent they? Because they dont always have to pay for the environmental damage they cause. Sure, when a giant multinational company spills oil in the coastal waters of a rich country, it is held accountable. But, in day-to-day business, there is plenty of pollution for which nobody pays. Think of carbon emissions from hundreds of thousands of airplanes and ships that carry the worlds trade. But think also of the millions of subsistence farmers putting down one more round of pesticides, no matter how much they may hurt the environment, just to squeeze a larger crop out of their tiny plot of land. And consumers meaning, us could change the way we behave, and what we value. Whether we laundry too much or recycle too little, these individual decisions are the result of the prices we face, the knowledge we have, and the social norms we follow. Who wants to drive a massive SUV if gasoline costs a fortune, you are aware of the cars crass carbon footprint, and your friends would anyway think it was uncool? The same applies to our appetite for inter-generational equity, that is, for saving part of our natural resources for our children and their children. Is this really a priority for you, as a voter, when you have to pick one presidential candidate over another? So, how does one get governments, industries, and people to do the right thing and go for greener growth? Surprisingly, the technical tools are known: undistorted prices, clear property rights, smart taxes, enforced regulation, markets in emission rights, community engagement, investment in research, nance for innovation, open data, public education campaigns, and so on. But, as with so many things in development, politics and the power of those who benet from the status quo gets in the way of action, and reforms either dont happen, or take a long time. Over the coming years, all eyes will be on emerging economies, on whether they will lock themselves in the old ways of doing business, or will they seek to grow greenly from the beginning.

BUDGET | MPs vow to frustrate approval of government top up
Changes proposed on Insurance Act to draw foreign investment

BY NATION REPORTER
The government has given foreign investors a nod to take a larger control of local insurance companies as it seeks to enhance insurance coverage in the country. On Thursday, National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich asked a parliamentary committee to accept his proposal and remove the restriction on foreign ownership for insurance agents in order deepen insurance penetration. To strengthen the regulatory framework and ensure a stable and growing insurance sector, I direct the Insurance Regulatory Authority to initiate an overhaul of the Insurance Act to align it with best international practices and our Constitution, Mr Rotich said while presenting the budget statement to the Budget and Appropriation Committee.
Ps have protested at the failure by the Treasury to allocate the Constituency Development Fund money in Supplementary Budget estimates tabled last Wednesday. This protest could frustrate
the approval of the Sh31.9 billion the government needs to top up its budget for the nancial year ending June 30. Parliament has withheld approval until the Budget Committee scrutinises the estimates. MPs want the Sh5.4 billion pending to be restored in the supplementary budget estimates and indicated on

Thursday they are unlikely to approve the spending if that doesnt happen. MPs Mithika Linturi (Igembe South), Jakoyo Midiwo (Gem), Shakeel Shabir (Kisumu East) and Jimmy Angwenyi (Kitutu Chache North) warned Treasury there would be a major ght over the matter. Mr Midiwo said Mr Githae lied when he announced in January that the Sh10.1 billion had been released to the constituencies. This matter is not small, said Mr Midiwo. This money was meant for the Budget year ending in the next 15 days. How does the government intend to give us this money? CDF committee chairman Moses Lessonet raised the matter in the National Assembly a few minutes before Treasury Secretary Henry Rotich presented his budget to the nation. The Eldama Ravine MP suggested that MPs could use their powers since Parliament is now a main player in the preparation of the Budget to get the CDF cash back. The National Assembly is the ultimate decision-maker. We shall reject that reallocation. The money is at CDF so when we reject it will go back to CDF, he said.

The Insurance Act stipulates that a minimum of one third of the paid-up capital of an insurer be owned by Kenyan citizens or wholly owned by the government. The Act also requires that one third of the members of the board of directors be citizens. For insurance brokerage firms, 60 per cent of the paid-up share capital should be owned by Kenyans.

Freighters oppose import levy

Cargo transporters are up in arms over the proposed 1.5 per cent import levy saying it will hurt consumers, even as experts warned that the new measure may prove dicult to enforce. During his budget statement on Thursday, Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich said the government will soon impose a 1.5 per cent levy on all imports to fund the construction of a standard gauge railway from Mombasa to Kisumu. The Finance Bill 2013 indicates that the levy will be imposed on the customs value of goods imported for home use. However, the Kenya International Freighters and Warehousing Association (Kifwa) wants the tax imposed on import goods meant for neighbouring countries. If cargo transiting to Uganda will not be charged the levy, then it means that Kenyans will be disadvantaged, said Kifwa chairman, Mr Boaz Makomere. IMPLICATION
Treasury expects to raise Sh15 billion from the new levy to construct a railway line which will carry cargo trains at the speed of up to 80km/h In its budget analysis released yesterday morning, audit rm PwC said the move will raise the cost of importation in Kenya in the short term
He said goods on transit to neighbouring countries in the East African region cause as much, if not more, damage to local infrastructure and should therefore be levied. The Northern Corridor connects the Port of Mombasa to markets in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. It is also used by cargo headed to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Sudan. Freighters using Kenyan roads to move goods to neighbouring countries are charged road tolls which go towards

In accordance with Section 102(w) of the Energy Act 2006, a person convicted of retailing petroleum products above the maximum levels will be liable to a fine not exceeding Kenya shillings one million, or the withdrawal of their operating licence or both. In this respect the consumers are requested to be vigilant in reporting noncompliant retailers to the authorities for necessary legal action. The Commission has installed a hotline number (0708 444 000), operational during normal working hours, with a view of increasing its engagement with stakeholders to enhance enforcement and compliance activities. The Commission has in place a Short Message Service (SMS) based inquiry system for petroleum pump prices where members of the public can obtain the latest petroleum prices in major towns by sending the message: price <space> name of major town to 0707667623.

maintaining the infrastructure. Mr Makomere says that the same should apply when it comes to raising revenue to build the railway. On the other hand, tax experts and government ocials have warned that it may not be legally possible for the Cabinet Secretary to impose such a measure. Mr Richard Sindiga, an economist at the ministry of East African Aairs and Commerce said the EAC common external tari outlines duty that may be charged on goods entering the region. No country can unilaterally impose additional taxes on goods headed to other partner states. It is almost impossible to apply such levies on goods that are headed to neighbouring countries, added tax analyst, Mr Nikhil Hira of Deloitte. Although the Customs Union Protocol makes provisions for implementation of administrative charges and fees on re-exports, taking this path could set Kenya on a collision path with her neighbours a situation that Mr Rotich may be trying to avoid.

tribute by Ngugi wa Thiongo, in mourning Chinua Achebe, was printed in The Guardian newspaper of May 26, published from Lagos, Nigeria. It included the following statement: Achebe bestrides generations and geographies. Every country in the continent claims him as their author. Some sayings in his novels are quoted frequently as proverbs that contain a universal wisdom. Ngugi may have downplayed his own presence across Africa. His novel Weep Not Child, as the rst in Heinemanns African Writers Series, has also been marketed and widely read in schools reached by Achebes Things Fall Apart. It is Okot pBiteks works, which suered from that severe blow that was dealt literary publishing by the collapse of East African Publishing House, easily the pioneering hero of private publishing of writers from East Africa under the creative energies of John Nottingham. The movement by Okot pBitek to a teaching job at the University of Ife in Nigeria in the 1970s, coincided with the fall of EAPH. Okots celebrity status among the universitys students did not benet sales of Song of Lawino and his other works. A section of the university is named after him; and there are plans to dramatise Lawinos acerbic tongue in November 2013. Rampant violations of copyrights, which has severely crippled publishing in Nigeria, kept away Henry Chakavas versions of Okots works from Nigerias huge market. This commentary celebrates two literary classics from East Africas recent history. Ngugis Wizard of the Crow and Okot pBiteks Song of Lawino are clearly destined to share many of historys tribal marks. Each was translated by the authors themselves from original versions written in Kikuyu and Acholi languages, respectively. While Ngugi was a university-trained scholar of literature available in the English language, Okot pBitek taught mathematics and later earned degrees in law and anthropology. He earned a doctoral degree in anthropology from Oxford University, the citadel of the use o f the

discipline as a colonial tool for disrupting and administering conquered peoples. Their high intellectual training resonates in these two works; yielding concrete evidence of the regions fertility in fermenting world standard literary classics. Their lending dignity to their peoples languages arms Professor Cheik Anta Diops translation into Wolof language in Senegal of Albert Einsteins Theory of Relativity; and visionary calls for writers across Africa to enrich and give renaissance to their peoples linguistic and literary ancestries. The militancy and arrogance in their works is clear. Both writers use a woman to rent out messages they carry in their minds and wombs resistance to tyranny by rulers and local sycophants. As Lindsey Barret has put it in a review (published in 2010 issue of Kilimanjaro magazine), they assert: The belief that the human spirit can be transformed into a superhuman... force when confronted with tyranny. Ngugis Nyawira and Okots Lawino represent spirit of hope, of being authentic to oneself; not bowing to overbearing rulers, and the power of true love. In the Wizard of the Crow, Ngugi combines skills learned from a vast record of world literature in print; integration of local traditions of oral story-telling, and a deep embrace of Marxist theories of history and development. His satire on and contempt for ignorant and murderous rulers who fanaticise about themselves as movers of history, is a reection of Marxian respect for the role played in history by forces used by man to produce economic goods, and relationships between men in those moments of production. He, however, does not abandon personal responsibility and power of the human spirit. While mocking sycophants who enlarge their ears so that they can better serve The Ruler by hearing all the treasonous gossip going on in his domain; or elongate their tongues so that they can splash nauseating lies, praises and clichs about CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

BY PETER ODUOR
poduor@ke.nationmedia.com hey stormed the Kenyan literary scene in their 20s and established their niches in the very competitive field. One has been dubbed a literary gangster, another an innovative writer who has made money where others only see a nancial desert. Ask them about their writing and they will say it is their life, it fuels the car and buys the food, they breathe it, they live it and they upset the status quo for it. On the street, however, you will be told that they are the future of Kenyas literature. Meet Tony Mochama aka Smitta and Billy Kahora, two of Kenyas most prolific and provocative young writers. There is a certain energy about Mochama. An exuberance, a bubbliness that is noisy, playful and deant. There is a certain way he talks sputtered speech that comes to the edge and stops before plodding o. Yet, curiously, he spews forth words that are determined to make a point and 100 per cent of the time, the point gets across; even if it is a point that you would not agree with. Ill be running a wee bit late from Eldoret, but Im joining yu soon Comradio. 2.30pm tops, his text message read, reecting vintage Mochama, ever the deconstructionist. The interview was to start at 2pm. He eventually arrived close to half past two, dragging a brown travel bag, dressed in a white T-shirt, brownish khaki trousers and shoes that are impossible to place. That energy was evident as he begun to speak before he even sat. A short while later, he ordered a drink which, when presented to him, he rst looked at with an aectionate eye before sip-
ping. From his bag, he pulled out a couple of books, which he placed on the table. This was Tony Mochama; his books, his sputtered tell-it-as-it-is speech, his dreadlocks and his drink. Naturally, the interview is about his writing, but there is this irresistible urge to talk to him about his personal life. The inquisitiveness comes from a widely accepted knowledge that he is probably the only writer in Kenya whose personal life and
writing are interfused. There is an immersion. But it is not complete. For my journalistic work (he is a writer with The Standard newspaper), I like to live what I write. It helps me in transporting myself together with the story in ways that my audience will readily identify with, the words leap from his lips into the air in quick succession. But he claries that the other part the novels and poetry involve is a waking up at 4am. It

is a sober business that he takes seriously. Mochama has been in the writing business for over a decade now though his rst attempts were in the newspapers, his primary job to date, despite his success in ction and poetry. He is the author of an increasingly long list of awardwinning, thought provoking, if controversial titles. What If Im a Literary Gangsta? poetry collection (2007), The Road to Eldoret (2009) short story anthology, Princess Adhis & the Naija Coca Brodas (2011) (Leapfrog Award nalist, 2012), Meet the Omtitas (Burt Award winner for 2013) to be launched at the Nairobi International Book Fair by Phoenix Publishers in September, and The Rains Down in Africa a poetry anthology to be published by Ca Foscari Italia University Press next year. He is working on a novel, Pot Smokin Despots about African dictators. Mochamas mien contrasts sharply with that of his contemporary, Kahora. Calm but ever busy, the 41-year-old editor of Kwani? spots a short haircut, yet he is not in any way ocious. He does not like generalities, the throwing around of blanket statements with no specifics. And right from the onset, he is all questions; have you read this? Have you seen that? Who is the author of that book exactly? Who said that? Kahoras rst writing of note was in South Africa while a third year student of Journalism at Rhodes University. A win in a national ash-ction competition by this debut work of art red his passion and he has been writing ever since. But that writing bug had bitten him earlier, prompting him to abandon half-way his Building Economics studies at the University of Nairobi.
In his corpus of writing are short stories Gorillas Apprentice, Treadmill Love, Selling World Power, Urban Zoning, The Red Door and The Applications. Urban Zoning was short-listed for 2012 Caine Prize; Treadmill Love appeared in the Caine Prize anthology 2007; The Red Door is to appear on the Caine Prize anthology later this year while The Applications, Selling World Power and Gorillas Apprentice were published in Kwani? 3, 4 &5 respectively. Kahora has also penned a novella The True Story of David Munyakei published by Kwani? and two major and popular urban screen writing materials that gave rise to Soul Boy, for which he was the script writer, and Nairobi Half-Life, where he was supervising screen writer. Kwani? which receives signicant funding from the Ford Foundation, has become a major platform for writing from across Africa. I do creative non-ction with literary elements in it. And I think this can be seen in most of my material, he says in a soft, measured tone. This manner of communicating in bits and bolts neither too fast, nor too slow can be discerned in his writings, according to literary critic Prof Egara Kabaji. Billy Kahora is quite experimental and very reective. The quality of his work can be felt as he drops them word by word, sentence by sentence. He is careful with his words and gives a holistic portrayal of characters. He is concerned with the aesthetics of his work in terms of language use, Prof Kabaji says. But where Kahora is calm and reserved in his writing and speech, Mochama is restless and riotous. I dont mind being playful. In

Forget the Top 50 lists, a great writer is one whose works endure

and loved it to boot

all my pieces of work, what I strive for in terms of style is to be poetic, philosophical and playful. Well, I admit there is too much gravitas sometimes, which puts some people o. But things should not be all about levity and sombreness. However, this should not be confused for being simplistic; I believe that complexities can be broken down in simple ways. Mochama would like us to believe that this is all there is to his writing. But we do know that his style and his mannerisms together with his love for the devils pee as beer is called in some quarters have a strong leaning towards Russia, the place where he spent the formative years of his writing career. His philosophy, as seen in his carefree mannerisms, rings of Anton Chekhov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Alexander Pushkin. He had earlier graduated with a law degree from the University of Nairobi. It must have pained him greatly, therefore, when he was deported from Russia in 2007 after caricaturing Vladmir Putin in an article during his previous visit, the year before. It was a ve-year ban, though, and I am free to go back now, he told Saturday Nation, after unsuccessfully trying to avoid answering the question. His rebellious antics seemed to have found the right re or whisky to re it up and Prof Kabaji whose label literary gangster propelled Mochama to write What if I am a Literary Gansta? now thinks he is the most prolic young writer in Kenya today. He, however, thinks Mochamas work could do with more depth in his exploration of issues. All the same, he qualies for the title the 21st century Kenyan literary rebel, he says. But what do these two young and highly regarded writers handle in their

When I tell my stories, I prefer to tell them as they are. He looks for relevance rst, he says, and that would include political issues, death, romance and the state of the society. Kahora, on the other hand, mulls over the question a little bit before quipping: Im primarily interested in what I perceive to be the failure of the Kenyan dream and how characters/individuals deal with it. He calls it the period when people believed in a certain Kenya where dreams could be achieved. The years after independence and in dierent historical cycles multi-party 1992, consequent Goldenberg ination, the euphoria of 2002 and subsequent period, the 2013 election and the present, and the resultant cycles of disillusionment. And more importantly for him, how Kenyans deal with these realities. Mochama and Kahora, however, have a common ground, but which on further interrogation, becomes another point of departure. They seem to share certain understanding on what language to use as their medium. At least from what they have produced, English is their main vehicle. For me a very strong suprastructure is key and the English should be very strong. You can use the internal dialogue to bring
out the language dierences in the work, Mochama says, but within the internal structure of any of his work, youll meet all kinds of dialects that reect the circumstances that are being explored within that text. What about Sheng? I can say that Sheng is good, but that would be pretentious and false. There is a strong corrupting inuence in using Sheng. He, however, admits that because the realities in his pieces of work are the realities in life, Sheng will nd life in some of the dialogues within the text. What I believe is needed is a contemporary narrative voice that integrates everything within the society, even existing linguistic changes. But this voice ought to be recognisable within the literary register, Kahora says. He sees Kenya as a very expressive society. This is right from our spending, where consumption has become fashionable, to the uneven rewarding system in the society where few at the top get the most while many at the lower end get the least. For Mochama, what everyone can see but refuses to accept is that everything changes. Even religion has changed. A Volkswagen is not what it originally was. So why should we continue with mountain old discussions? It is as though our issues, which are our concern today, are not worth discussing. This, he says, is as outrageous as Chief Justice Willy Mutungas three-minute legal quickie as he called the Supreme Courts ruling following the March 4 election results petition. Kenyans just want to paint lipsticks on pigs. No one wants to face the reality that literature brings out, says the father of one daughter, adding that rebellion should be in themes and not style.
y rst experience with William Shakespeare left me devastated. Some university students came to our school to perform Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet. I was at Kenyatta High School, Mwatate, at the time. The play haunted me all night. The girl who had played Juliet had been a dashing Taita beauty who had left my teenage eyes popping out. However, it was the tragedy in the story of lovers that stayed on my mind. I found the play gruelling and brutal. I had held my breath during the play and panicked as I prayed for the two lovers. This was especially so when Juliet visited Friar Laurence for help, and he oered her a drug that would put her into a death-like coma for two and forty hours. I was relieved when the Friar promised to send a messenger to inform Romeo of the plan, so that he could rejoin her when she woke up. When she takes the drug, the family, thinking she is dead, takes her to the family crypt, an open tomb. However, things go awfully wrong as the messenger sent by the Friar fails to reach
William Shakespeare
Romeo and, instead, Romeo learns of Juliets apparent death from his servant, Balthasar. Totally heartbroken, Romeo buys real poison from an apothecary and goes to where Juliets body lay. I prayed for Juliet to wake up at that point. The prayers were not answered. Believing Juliet to be dead, Romeo drinks the poison and dies for real. At this point, I was mad with whoever had come up with the whole damn play (whose name I did not know at the time!). Juliet then woke up, and nding Romeo dead, took a dagger to stab herself. I felt like jumping on stage to grab the dagger from the beautiful Juliet. I got carried away by the play, forgetting that it was only a play. Try as I could, I could not forget the words of the prince about the story:
For never was a story of more woe/ Than this of Juliet and her Romeo. I have never forgiven Shakespeare for Juliets dramatic dagger stroke it was brutal. Now that is great literature. It captures real human emotions and dilemmas. I was later shocked to learn that Romeo and Juliet was published in 1597! How could a play written more than 400 years ago aect me that much, in another day and era? That is the masterstroke of a great writer. Forget the lists this paper has been publishing in the last two issues. Only time will tell who the great writers are. For me, a great writers work must outlive him. This is not to say that its bad to compile the lists. However, real literary greatness cannot be measured using simple yardsticks like the number of books one writes, or the number of books sold. All lists are controversial because they inevitably leave out names that some people consider great. And yes, sometimes the perception of greatness could be biased. The question is, will Kenyan literature, even CONT. ON PAGE 22
Ngugi and Okot taught us the beauty of African pride

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 The Ruler, he is still emphasising their individual responsibility for supporting dictators and their destruction of society. Ngugis passion for detail, his latent wrath and accuracy in bringing out how trust by wananchi (plain citizens) by those in power, is at par with V.S. Naipaul. For Okots Song of Lawino, detail is the building block for his anthropological safari. He arms architectural details, household items in an Acholi home, ugly features of a cultural traitor the catechist with spittle ying out of his mouth as he mouths chants of an alien religion that is corrosive to the sexual powers in young girls ready for historical duties of procreation: Saliva squirted from his mouth, and froth ew like white ants from his mouth, the smelly drops landed on our faces... the milk in our ripe breasts boiled... His depiction of diverse tribes of human dung on the oor of a toilet attached to a nightclub is used as a bitter analogy for the despicable quality of failed leaders wielding power in post-colonial African countries. The power of the spoken word as a spear for killing the false ideology in her husband Ocols head is erce. She reduces him to a lunatic sub-human level: He begins to behave like a man hyena. Ocols eyes resemble those of the Nile perch. He is a despicable scavenger living on ideas, political ideologies and practices of alien peoples who do not know the power in African communalism and sharing of bounties of social existence. Using an Acholi tradition of insult and the constitutional provision that: when a man feels that he has suered an injury there is no authority to whom he can make a complaint and from whom he can obtain redress, so he at once challenges the man who has wronged him to a duel and the challenge must be accepted, Lawino lashes out brutally. Okot pBitek returns to combative love in a woman; human dignity of the African; his responsibility as an authentic contributor to making human history; thereby ending alienation inicted on him by other peoples evil governance. These two works serve universal values, while their prodigious feats of both linguistic dexterity and imaginative fertility bring great literary honour to Africa. One thing the two giants make plain is that great writing is not by the lightly read and self-educated. The youth of Africa have in them two Kilimanjaros to climb and write from their mountain tops.

BOOK REVIEW | Award-winning author takes us down memory lane in his memoirs
Reecting on the real Binyavanga

BOOK DETAILS
Title: One Day I Will Write About This Place Author: Binyavanga Wainaina Publisher: Graywolf Press (2011) Hardcover: 272 pages Reviewer: Florence Bett
t was billed as one of the nest works of modern literature to have come out of Kenya, written by Binyavanga Wainana, winner of the 2002 Caine Prize for African Writing, and founder of Kwani Trust. The rst part of One Day I Will Write About This Place creates rustic images of an African child growing up in a close-knit family in Kenya. The storytelling is simple, the world as seen through the eyes of a young boy. Binyavangas writing is easy and the imagery vivid. Mild humour peppers the story. Despite the simplicity of the storytelling, the book calls for plenty of patience. One short sentence follows another, creating a stammer in the prose. The urge to put
the book away comes to me several times. But I read on, hopeful that there is something great simmering ahead. I nd it in the chapter before he leaves to pursue his undergraduate studies in Transkei, South Africa. Binyavanga is in a bar with a friend when he meets a woman whom he does not immediately recognise as his childhood domestic help because she is dolled up in a wig and wears heavy make-up. Plus, she is drunk. When he finally realises that this woman is not a stranger but Wambui, he says this of her: So easy to believe in the person she wanted to be, so impossible for me to accept that person has come to be I am so angry at her fake attempt to be what she is not. That she fooled me. I want to put a hoe in her hands and tell her to go home to Subukia and grow potatoes. This paragraph erases my initial displeasure with the book. The phase in Transkei is yet again spent with Binyavangas quizzing imagination. The imagery is vivid, and the writing is more mature than the rst part of the book. It feels like I am holding an entirely dierent book in my hands. I see him struggle through an identity crisis.
I picture him stone-high and seeking solace in eeting, unfullling company. Many characters are introduced in his time in Transkei. Binyavanga returns to Kenya, not having completed his degree. He makes a visit to Uganda to meet his extended family and learn of his origins. Out of this visit, he nds some bearing. Refreshed, he returns to South Africa intent to complete his degree, only to realise that he has lost the passion for it. He moves to Cape Town, takes up some odd jobs and starts his writing career. He returns to Nairobi following the death of his mother from diabetes. After her burial, he decides to stay in Nairobi. In this part of the book, we journey with Binyavanga through the struggles of his writing career, the founding of Kwani Trust and his joy in winning the Caine Prize for African writing.
Binyavanga Wainaina
It often feels like an unbearable privilege to write. I make a living from simply taking all those wonderful and horrible patterns in my past and making them new and strong Sometimes I want to stop writing because I cant bear the idea that it may one day go away. Sometimes I feel I would rather stop, before it owns me completely. But I cant stop. He also reects on his identity as a Kikuyu man in political Kenya. The momentum of the book starts to slow down again, and then the book takes another dip. Then Binyavanga reveals that he is diabetic, a revelation that is only four words long. The inclusion of the 2007/2008 post-poll chaos does little to advance the storyline of the book. The nal chapter is a reminder of where he seeks his solace his entire life: the written word. The book ends on an aectionate note here. Binyavanga does not aimlessly create the voices that narrated the memoirs. I believe the voice he creates is a reection of the person he is. I am left to question one thing: What is Binyavanga left with after the book? He does not make any lasting friendships from his time in South Africa. There is no mention of a woman, or love. His siblings have gone on to start families and his parents are no longer with us. Be that as it may, the book is an important contribution to the increasing body of modern literature in Kenya.
Let history judge Kenyas best writers in 50 years

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21 from the best writers, endure in the coming years? Enduring literary greatness has eluded geniuses, confounded aging scribes and dodged young writers. However, some writers are lucky to strike the right chord. Such writers works are timeless. Many have wondered what makes stories endure through hundreds of years. As a critic asked: What is it about Homers Iliad and Odyssey, Sophocles Oedipus Rex, Shakespeares Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, or King Lear, Dickens A Tale of Two Cities, Hugos Les Misrables, Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, Tolstoys War and Peace, Joyces Ulysses and Prousts Remembrance of Things Past that make them say something new and fresh to each generation? Living in the eye of the storm, harassed by their creative demons on one side and societys rigid norms on the other, writers have been a restless lot; rattling our cosy nests, intriguing and forcing us to think. Many of them have been misunderstood, rebuked and even accused of blasphemy. So let us encourage them, we have great writers in Kenya today, but we should not forget that the best judge is history. Which of the current books will still be interesting a decade from now? If there will be any, then those will be the great writers. Let us not be caught in the easy snare of this generation trying to measure everything. Literature is not showbiz. Our lists could be premature, so let those whose names did not appear not lose heart. The writer is CEO of Phoenix Publishers.john mwazemba@gmail.com
ADDRESS TO THE PLENARY

BY BRO. FRANCIS ATWOLI, EBS, MBS - SECRETARY GENERAL COTU (K) DURING THE 102ND SESSION OF THE INTERNATIONAL LABOUR CONFERENCE, IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND 5TH 20TH JUNE 2013
The President of the conference Vice- presidents of the conference Chairman of the Governing Body Distinguished Guests Ladies and Gentlemen I take this opportunity to congratulate the president of the conference and his vice presidents for their well deserved election to guide the affairs of this conference. COTU (K) has total confidence in your ability to effectively guide the affairs of the conference. I also congratulate the Director general of the ILO, for producing a clear and focused report on the status of the Organization as it prepares to transition to the next century. Mr. President, we agree that despite the changed context of the world of work in which the ILO and its constituents find themselves in, the mandate still remains the same and as such , we have to jointly be able to adapt, innovate and built our creativities in order to effectively deliver on the ILOs mandate. Mr. President, Kenyan workers agree with the reports observation that despite the encouraging achievements of the ILO in the last 89 years of its existence, new challenges have emerged which must be dealt with in order to position the organization in an advantage position as the roll-over to the 2nd century enters the home stretch. Indeed as echoed by Mr. David Morse, the fifth Director General of the ILO, in 1969, while receiving the Nobel Peace Price, the dangerous explosives he talked about which are hidden in the depths of the community the national and the world community are still around, and we welcome the report for pointing out where they lie and how we can better go about the continuing task of defusing them. Ladies and gentlemen, keeping in view of the a foregoing , its our position that this conference and the ILO in general has to comprehensively address the key institutional challenges outlined in the report and which touch on the following areas; Tripartism and representative legitimacy, Standards, Coherence, the ILO and enterprises. Mr. President, we in the trade union fraternity recognize that changes in productive arrangements brought by globalization and Global supply chains have tended to reduce trade union membership. This however needs to be viewed against the practices of the Multinational Enterprises of engaging labour contractors whose sole objective is to maximize profits without due regard to the adherence to minimum labour standards, thereby exacerbating the race to the bottom thesis. In this regard therefore, Kenyan workers are of the view that, the ILO may wish to prioritize and consider re-tabling the issue of employment relations in the agenda of the conference in the near future with a view to adopting a firm, fair and relevant standard to guide tripartite partners. Mr. President, we further agree that while constituents may not fully represent all the classes of workers owing to some of the issues we have raised earlier, this cannot be an excuse for Non-state actors to invade tested framework of tripartism. In this regard, we in Kenya therefore, take this opportunity to advice the civil society and other Non-State Actors, that labour issues remain the core domain of established worker and employer organizations and that their participation in such matters can only be through such organizations and not directly to the workers and our members. Mr President, COTU (K) agrees with the reports analysis that, a number of challenges face the ILO and its constituents owing to the transformation that has taken place in the world of work, for developing countries like Kenya, some of these challenges which include among others, the impact of demographic change as well as the changing character of production and employment among others, require a shift of policy mixes and production patterns towards a job-rich growth. We say this because Mr. President, we in Kenya are however privileged that we have recently inaugurated a new democratically elected Government whose central goal and its manifesto is creation of jobs through economic growth. Nevertheless, in our Labour Day celebration which was graced by none other than our newly elected President Hon Uhuru Kenyatta, we pointed to him the need for his new government to seal tax leakages through which huge amounts of revenue which would have been used for investment in job rich infrastructure and investment development projects are lost. It is indeed our firm belief that if full proof systems are put in place to curtail tax evasion, the country would conservatively gain more than a third of Kshs 354.45 billion which can significantly address employment and social challenges facing our country. Lastly I inform this august conference that there is a looming danger in Kenya by a creature created by the new National Constitution in the name of Kenya Salaries Remuneration Commission which intends to encroach on the freely negotiated CBAS by fighting to reduce wages of both public and private employees. As workers we will resist any attempt by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission of Kenya to interfere with freely negotiated terms and conditions of service of our members as this negates the ILO Convention number 95. I thank you. Ends.

FACE-TO-FACE | A look at leaders and their reading habits
Books and faith helped me get over terror attack, says Hassan
What are you reading now?
CONVERSATIONS WITH BOOK LOVERS By Emeka-Mayaka Gekara & Julius Sigei
Kamukunji MP speaks about the long months in hospital after attack in Eastleigh and the books that kept him going
amukunji MP Yusuf Hassan was injured last year in a grenade attack in Nairobis Eastleigh, ending up conned to hospital beds in Kenya and South Africa for several months. The former exile, who was once at the forefront agitation for political prisoners release, had his passport revoked at one point and his father arrested. He speaks of how books kept him going in some of the longest days in his life and why he hopes to return to Kisii High School. Q: December 6, 2012, is certainly one of the darkest days in your life. A: It was a great tragedy, very shocking. I mean I have worked in many places rocked by conicts only to come and be attacked at home. But, it was also only after the accident that I
came to know the true spirit of Kenyans, their incredible love and kindness. Kenyans prayed for me in churches and mosques and to-date, people I dont know stop me in the street to express their sympathies. Being in hospital for half a year is certainly emotionally taxing. What kept you going? My faith. I have a very strong faith and hope. I told myself I must get up again by the will of God. Therapy and spending time with friends also kept me alive. I also got to read a lot. Reading actually kept me going. What kind of books? It was a mix. I read autobiographies, biographies and ction. While in South Africa, I read the inspiring biography of Chris Hani. (Chris Martin Thembisile Hani was the charismatic leader of the anti-Apart-
heid South African Communist Party. He was assassinated in 1993.) Another interesting book I read was Priest and Partisan: A South African Journey. It is the story of Father Alan Michael Lapsley, a victim of a bomb attack in Zimbabwe during apartheid. He lost both hands and sight in one eye. I also read Barbara Kingsolvers epic novel Flight Behavior. The book on global warming is the only environmental novel I have read. This attack came at the height of campaigns. How did you manage it from a hospital bed? I dont know. I just watched the news like anyone else. But seriously speaking, it is the team of collaborators and the army of volunteers who delivered the win. I can never thank them enough. You used to host Raila Odinga and other dissidents during your days at the Committee for the Release of Political Prisoners and Ukenya opposition group. But you have been one of his harshest critics. What changed? Well, I worked with all kinds of dissidents, like Raila and (Kenneth) Matiba. But I came to know Raila after I had returned to the country. I was in the Committee for the Release of Political Prisoners when Jaramogi (Oginga Odinga) was the active leader of the opposition. His track record was that of a true nationalist. Well, I was in Railas party but I dont want to get into that now. We were with other national heroes like the poet Abdilatif Abdalla who wrote Sauti ya Dhiki. One poem that particularly inspired us was Kahawa , which went like I am coee and whatever you do to me I remain black and I smell the same. (Prof Abdalla became the rst political prisoner in independent Kenya to be jailed by the Jomo Kenyatta government at the age of 22 in March 1969.) What do you consider the
most transformational book that you have read? I have been transformed by books. Books transform lives. While at Taranganya School in Kuria, our teacher and some Peace Corps volunteers introduced us to Karl Marx, Martin Luther King and other black American writers and human rights activists. I also read Frantz Fanon, the Negritude poet Cheikh Anta Diop, Chinua Achebe and Ngugi Wa Thiongo. I particularly liked Ngugis Decolonising the Mind. I read books on the Cuban revolution featuring leaders like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. All this radicalised us. What are you reading now? I am now reading Bandiet out of Jail, the prison memoirs of South African journalist-teacher Hugh Lewin. Prof Lewin, who taught me, was imprisoned for seven years by the apartheid regime. The book is engrossing and uplifting at the same time. Have you ever returned to Kisii High School since 1972? No, I have not because I have been out of the country for most of my life. I would, however, love to go back there despite having been expelled. What had you done to be expelled? Nothing but the argument was I had led the school to strike. Celebrated Somali writer Nurrudin Farah was here in April and he declared that the world had invented the fact that there were pirates in Somalia. Do you agree? Nurrudin Farah is one of the greatest writers from our side of the world. He is also a friend and he actually came to see me when I was recuperating in South Africa. But I dont wish to comment on that because I have not seen it. Farah also lamented the harassment of Somalis in Nairobis Eastleigh and the mistreatment of those in North Eastern Kenya. Yes, those historical problems are there. Exclusion and marginalisation of the people continues to date. We hope the new Constitution will address that. To President Obama, terrorism is a manifestation of intolerance. What is the cause of terrorism? The biggest contributor to terrorism is the dispossession and disempowerment of sections of communi-

ties by regimes. It is lack of true democracy and human rights. The biggest perpetrator of all this is the USA itself. What one book would you buy for former President Moi? It is too late now; I dont want to rock the boat. South Africa and Nigeria are the melting pots of African literary scholarship. Where do you place Kenya? Yes, those countries as well as Ghana have a dynamic literary and publishing culture. Even here there was a time when we had rst class novelists and writers. Not any more. Since I came back, there has not been any major publication rolling out of our presses. We are a conservative society where nobody wants a provocative book that can rock the status quo. A majority only want feel-good, inspirational stories. Where do you take your children to school and what kind of books do you buy for them? We are global nomads. Ive lived in more than 20 countries and my son has schooled all over the world. My six-year old daughter is at Peponi School in Nairobi and she is now reading How the Hippo got to Swim. You have worked with the BBC and Voice of America. In your view, what ails Kenyan journalism? Lack of research. They dont do much investigation and much of what you read is unsubstantiated statements and inaccuracies. There are two sides to the MPs salary debate. Do you think MPs have been treated well? Certainly not. Now we cannot even walk around freely. We can be beaten up. Look at this mileage claims for example. I dont get it because I dont travel as I my constituency is here. So when you lump everybody with MPs from Moyale and say legislators to earn this much from mileage claims, is that fair? What is the one thing that keeps you awake at night? Poverty and inequality. I have always wanted to make a dierence, to play a role in the search for equity and social justice.

Barefoot Burkinabe singer out to unify the sounds of Africa

Alif Naaba following in the footsteps of other great musicians from West Africa, thrills and invokes visions of desert plains
BY STANLEY GAZEMBA
satnation@ke.nationmedia.com lthough he doesnt like to be compared to them, his act is in the class of Baaba Maal, Salif Keita and other West African greats of poetic griot music. Singer Alif Naabas longdrawn wailing vocal intonations, akin to the quintessential call of the muezzin to the dawn prayers in Muslim towns, easily invokes visions of wind-kissed desert sand-plains, a lone nomad leading his camel by the leash on the horizon. It is the music of the desert served in one of the few remaining open-air performance spaces in Nairobis city centre on a warm Friday evening. I want to develop my music everywhere in Africa and later in Europe, says Alif Naaba in an interview with Saturday Nation at Ketebul Music studio following his successful show at Alliance Francaise in Nairobi two weeks ago. I want to use my music to preach peace and development.

Interspersed in the rich vocal and guitar dalliance was the distinct plucking of the kora that crowned the ne serving of time-ripened West African fare. Naabas percussionist, Mohammed Sana, is unique in the sense that he doesnt use drumsticks. His bare ngers get the job done. His eccentricities start with his drums, which are not your conventional set. The bass drum is the half of a huge calabash, three djembe drums of varying sizes making up the snare and tom-tom drums. Every time his bare ngers completed a roll, he

The year Alif Naaba released his debut album titled Regards Metis
He was at the studio to record a collabo, Pougbi , which he did with local musician Winyo, and which elicited a warm reception from the audience when they performed together at Alliance. The song, in which the singer declares his love for his wife, was rehearsed backstage for ve minutes before the performance. It is a pointer to his mission of unifying Eastern and Western Africa musically. It is important for our generation to make the connection between East Africa and West Africa, he said when introducing Winyo on stage for the four-hour long show that got the audience predominantly white interspersed with a few local artistic types on their feet the entire evening. It was an electrifying performance, the drums resonating in life-like thumps reminiscent of the African long-drums of the bush telegraphers of yore, enticing the city to come out and dance.
punctuated it with a hearty bang on the hi-hat cymbals and a deft ick on the chimes that left no doubt that he was thoroughly enjoying himself. Naabas music makes for an interesting fusion of the unique vocal arrangement popularised by the Keitas of Mali interspersed with the melodic kora and a dizzying guitar arrangement that morphs between the Congolese sebene and screaming rock. One minute you are sitting under an old baobab tree listening to Dao Mamadous ancient kora weaving a sensuous tapestry, and the next guitarist Michael Avron thrusts you into the electric age of Jimmi Hendrix, the bassist Achille Ouattara, working all the while in the background to keep everything grounded. I am a modern traditional singer, he describes himself. I am a troubadour. I perform barefoot because I consider the audience as my chief. As a troubadour, when you perform before a chief or a king you do not put on your shoes. The 31-year-old Naaba, who sings in his native Moor language and French, was born in Konkistenga village, North West of Burkina Faso, but soon after moved to Cote dIvoire with his family. He was introduced to music at age six by his mother, who was a traditional singer of the Mossi tribe. As a child, he was entrusted to a Koranic master by his father who wanted him to learn the strict discipline of Islam. Part of that training entailed physical labour and begging. This education taught me humility and gave me a good vision of the people of the world, he said. It also gave me spirituality and taught me that life is full of surprises. From the Koranic school he proceeded to a regular school

where he started to develop his love for music. His music, which draws from his Mossi roots, is inspired by the Salou rhythm of Burkina Faso and other desert rhythms of West Africa, together with jazz. I make fusion music that is inspired by the cultures of the places I travel to. He made his debut with his rst album Regards Mtis (Mongrel Glance) which was recorded in 1999 but released in 2003. It earned him the Kund Award for the best artist from the diaspora, catapulting him to instant fame in his home country, Burkina Faso. His second album, Foo, followed in 2005, also bagging a Kund for best Francophone song. The album that opened his music to the world beyond West Africa was Wakat, released in 2009, and which embraced an acoustic Afro-pop style that encompasses both poetic griot story-telling and funky dance ris. Naaba wrote the music for the musical comedy Nguwino Ubeho produced for the 15th commemoration of the Rwanda genocide. He shared the stage with Kenyas Makadem at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival at the World Cinema Pavillion. His Nairobi performance forms part of an Eastern and Southern African tour of 10 countries, supported by the Institut Francais in Paris. stangazemba@yahoo.com

FILM REVIEW | Comedy is last in the Hangover trilogy
Hangover III leaves viewers high and dry

Movie sequel is successful on big screen but critics not impressed
BY EUGENE MBUGUA
eugenewangechi@yahoo.com angover III, currently showing in theatres in Kenya and around the world, can best be described as a bad and undesirable hangover. Directed by Todd Phillips, Hangover III is the last of the Hangover trilogy, which comprise Hangover released in 2009 and Hangover II in 2011. Phillips, who directed all three, is known for some of his other successful comedy lms such as Road Trip, Old School and Project X. If you have watched any of the rst two of lms of the Hangover trilogy, you would probably already know that the story revolves around four middle aged men, the wolf pack consisting of Phil, Stu, Dough and Allan, played by Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha and Zach Galianakis, respectively. As in the other movies, Alan, who decides to buy a girae and drive it home, instigates the adventure. In a rather bizarre and
distasteful situation, he crushes the animals head o on a bridge and causes a chain of car accidents. Meanwhile, Mr Lesley Chou (Ken Jeong), the world criminal from the rst two lms has planned a dramatic escape from a Bangkok prison. In a scene very similar to one in the lm The Shawshank Redemption, Chou drills a wall through his cell wall and escapes through the sewer and into a shing freighter. Meanwhile back in America, the self-aggrandising Alan has to face his wealthy, but fed up father (Jeffrey Tambor), who had to pay for his girae incident. The argument is nasty and the old man ends up dying from a heart attack. After the funeral, Alans friends reluctantly agree to participate in an intervention where they settle on taking Alan to a rehabilitation centre several states away. This journey predictably sets the stage for the next adventure. What follows, as in the other two movies, is a series of events that could only occur in a lm
written by Craig Mazin and Todd Phillips (the rst wrote the Scary Movie series while the latter wrote Borat). There are masked men, some dog killing, blocks of gold and the return to Las Vegas. While the lm is not half as hilarious and spontaneous as the rst one and barely has as many surprises as the second one, it oers a few good laughs. Most of them are from Galianakis, who never disappoints with his spoilt, immature man act. Other than Galianakis, Ken Jeong, who is surprisingly a cer-
tied physician in real life, also makes for one or two laughs with his unpredictable and sometimesconfusing character of Chou. Most of the other slightly funny instances in the lm rely heavily on stereotypical racial jokes and innuendos such as the Asian pronunciation of l and r and the Jewish love for money. While the movie, released worldwide on May 23, lags behind its season peers like Iron Man 3 and The Fast and Furious 6, its still a theatrical success raising over $272 million so far world-
wide, compared to its $103 million production budget. The lm has also become the second highest grossing R-rated lm, second only to the rst Hangover. Nonetheless, critics were not so kind. Rotten Tomatoes, a respected lm review website, showed that only about 49 percent of the sites users liked it while only 20 percent of critics did. Less a comedy than an angrily dark action thriller, the Hangover Part 3 diverges from the series rote formula but oers nothing compelling in its place reads the consensus on its website. Phillip French, writing for The Guardian, summarised all the three movies. The first Hangover movie was highly entertaining in a scabrously funny, calculatedely bad taste waythe second one more or less repeated the same plot in Bangkok with even more extreme jokesthe quartets third excursion overall is not too terrible by current comedic standards. Just a trie undernourished, overlong and desperate.

Life had not been kind to Munyao Kyalo and he found himself on the streets of Mombasa through no fault of his own.He had been very happy living with his parents in Machakos but, sadly, when he was twelve, his father passed away after he was knocked by a speeding matatu. His mother who was jobless, took Munyao and went to live with her late sisters husband in Mombasa. This uncle had remarried and his new wife resented their arrival. She had two children of her own from her previous marriage. However, Munyaos mother soon got a secretarial job which enabled her to pay for her room and even send Munyao to a good school. Munyao did very well, especially in art, for he was a talented boy and particularly good at drawing birds and painting. He often used to go out with his sketch-book and look for birds to draw. A favourite place of his was a small garden in
front of the railway station which was within a walking distance.They had only lived in Mombasa for a year when sadly his mother, Jane Kyalo, was taken ill and the doctor held out no hope for her. She was in bed for sometime but before her condition deteriorated she called Munyao and, holding him close to her, conded in him.Munyao, my son, as I am very ill, I want you to take care of yourself. Always remember to be good to others. I have always loved you and would like you to have a better future. Be polite, obedient and clean and never do anything you would be ashamed of us knowing. I will always try to watch over you, my son. Then she added, I have deposited enough money with your uncle to cater for your basic needs and school fees. Here is some money I want you to keep in a safe place and only use in an emergency.

Literary Discourse
Good deed came from my letter

BY MOHAMMED HUSSEIN HASSAN
My article entitled Blame the curriculum for poor book habits (Saturday Nation, May 11, 2013) proved quite controversial. The Ministry of Education was the rst to react on its website, throwing the blame on teachers and parents. I think I have touched on the truth about the curriculum and the sprouting culture of cramming facts. About three weeks ago, Mr Daniel Ogana, a Kenyan living in South Africa, reached me through the school address in reply to the same article. He promised to donate over 1,000 novels to the schools library, courtesy of my article. My dream is that Daraja Mbili High School will serve as the focal point for the awakening of Kenyas reading culture. All high schools should buy novels for their libraries. Through Mr Oganas donation, we will establish a chain of readers in Daraja Mbili community through reading clubs. Each member will adopt six underlings from the nearby primary schools. Mr Ogana has also promised to digitise the small library. We welcome any contribution from book lovers. The writer is a student at Daraja Mbili High School in Kisii County
The hidden side of self-publishing

BY EMMANUEL KARIUKI
Many authors claim to make a lot of money from self-publishing, but I am reluctant to join them just yet. I believe that a lot of their energy is being sapped by their eort when they would rather just be writing more books. Here is my experience with self-publishing. My rst published story was Zebras Illness. This was a 32-page book with an extra rider story Ostrich and Baboon. I spent close to two years trying to get it published. Phoenix Publishers got interested, but they took another year to make a rm decision, much to my exasperation. I withdrew the book, used Sh30,000 from my own savings and printed 2,000 copies. The following year, I published another 2,000 copies of my second book Safari ya Kombamwiko. At this rate, I would publish one book each year and be a full fledged publisher in 10 years with 10 titles, or so I thought . Self-publishing was the easy part, selling was really for the professionals. I went all over Nairobi trying to convince bookshops to stock my two precious books. Many of them preferred a sale or return arrangement. This meant that they would stock about ve copies without paying and only pay later for copies they had managed to sell. I would be free to collect unsold copies if I chose to break the arrangement. It also meant that I would have to be visiting their shelves from time to time to see how many copies they had sold. In several cases, I would nd that no copies had been sold after three or more months. Several bookshops were not keen to part with money even after selling my copies, so you can imagine the infuriating trips either to inspect the shelves for sold copies or to seek payment from unwilling retailers. In one case, I decided that I had made more trips to a certain bookshop than the books were worth, so I cut my losses and ran. From then on, I vowed to take cash only or walk out with my books. Having learned some lessons about the peculiar habits of Kenyan booksellers, I would plan a trip with stopovers in towns to scout for bookshops, insisting on cash for any books I parted with. For example, one route would be Nairobi, Thika, Muranga and Nyeri. Whenever I had a reason to be in Mombasa, Nakuru or Kisumu, I would carry copies for sale to bookshops. You would think that the 4,000 copies would be out of print in a year. Bookshops were only taking ve copies at a time, sometimes only three copies. My best client was a wholesaler who would take 50 copies at a time but at the discounted rate of 50 per cent instead of the usual 25 per cent. Needless to say, I soon realised that it was better to do what I knew best writing books and leave the selling to the professionals. When my two titles were sharing the distribution costs between them, an established publisher had hundreds of titles into which the costs would be spread. So when Phoenix Publishers showed an interest the two books, I sold the remaining copies to the benevolent wholesaler and gave the publishing rights to Phoenix. Zebras Illness was re-published as Miraba and Pround Vuno. Safari ya Kombamwiko retained the title and has since spawned a sequel Kombamwiko na Hoteli ya Nyota Tano. Later an English translation of Safari ya Kombamwiko was published as Kombamwikos Adventure. This is a digital era and things may have changed. However, my advice to someone who wants to attempt self-publishing is approach the endeavour with caution. Making friends with a publisher early on would be a good plan B in case the bed of roses turns out to be a little thorny. kenatene@hahoo.com, kenatene@gmail.com
No doubt about it, English and literature are joined at the hip
Curriculum developers should assign more time for teaching literature
BY PHARES BARINE
found Mwaura Kiragus essay English and literature are as different as night and day (Saturday Nation, May 25) disconcerting. For a teacher of literature, Mr Kiragus assertion that there is no relationship between literature and English is not only mischievous, but illogical and misleading. The writer laments that he goes through a trauma whenever he has to teach English. Pray, what causes the trauma? Is it because of using English to teach literature genres? He says he should not be limited to literature in English. What does he mean by that? In what language does he propose to teach literature to the charges under his tutelage? Surely, he wouldnt be so foolhardy as to use his rst language to teach. How would his students benet in terms of content and the more immediate objective, national examinations?

(ideas)? The importance of literature cannot be gainsaid. To paraphrase the scholar H.L.B. Moody, literature is the vehicle that transports us, as it were, to various realities of human situations, challenges, feelings and relationships. When we read literary works, we nd our knowledge of human aairs broadened and deepened. We get to understand the possibilities of human life and capacity for both good and evil. We are able to take cognisance of our lives in relation to the world around us, with all its pleasures, its vexations and problems. We are thus able (through the study of literature) to recognise options open to us for improvement and, perhaps, be able to make right rather than wrong choices in life. Perhaps this is what the writer meant to say, but failed to do. The signicance and time allotted to literature in our school time-tables are not nearly enough.
The writer doesnt say why he wants to shun English. He says literature only uses English as a way of communicating. How, then, will he eect communication, if not through English? Literature and English are not as different as night and day. Indeed, literature springs from our inborn love of telling a story (novel, short story), of arranging words in pleasing patterns (poetry), of expressing in words some special aspect of our human experience (including those experiences passed down to us by word of mouth). How then shall we divorce the medium (words of the English language) from the content
Pleasing patterns
Before the the 8-4-4 curriculum, literature (and her sister fasihi) were distinct subjects. Then the learner had the time to explore such literary vistas as Betrayal In The City, The Concubine, Things Fall Apart, A Man of The People,The Burdens, Government Inspector, Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, The Beautiful Ones Are Not Yet Born, A Grain of Wheat and many more. If one pursued the subject to A-Level, more breath-taking literary panorama unfolded. Today, literature in our schools is spread thinly among three papers of the examination subject tugged English. Poetry and Oral Literature are examined in papers One and Two, while set books are in paper Three. Emphasis is put on language use. The learner has little time to digest the contents of the literary texts, as he has to earn marks from the language component, which carries more than half the marks. The logical way forward is for the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development to consider appropriating more instruction time for literature. It should consider widening the scope of the content in terms of thematic concerns. Getting our school-going and other youth to study more literature could be the pill for the plethora of social ills that bedevil our society, such as the riotous greed and materialism, gross immorality like the insidious corruption, rampant crime, and the utterly despicable bestiality that has pushed prostitution to nightmarish levels.

Lo Liyong wrong on journalism

BY CAREY MULINDI
Reading Omusolo Moses (Saturday Nation, June 1) article, I decided to revisit the story about Taban Lo Liyong and noted with sadness that Lo Liyong thinks journalism is a hurdle to would-be writers. In fact, he says, Do not be a journalist. Journalism drains you. It makes it harder for you to write. Since time immemorial, journalism has nurtured some of the biggest names in literary scene. From Ngugi wa Thiongo, Wahome Mutahi, Francis Imbuga to Chinua Achebe. Their literary works were rst serialised in newspapers before they were later compiled and published. Prof Egara Kabaji will agree with me that journalism and literature are intertwined and when they complement each other, the outcome is an amazing piece of literary work.
Let the youth read romance books; its their starting point
BY SUSAN WANJIRU
This is in reference to a readers opinion two Saturdays ago, Jane Wanjiku, who argued that high school students read, yes, but only romantic stu. They read the likes of Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel and Sheldom. That is way ahead. I am sure that is a good beginning, for I, too, started o by reading Mills & Boon and Harlequin Romance before graduating to Stephen King, Robert Ludlum and on to political works by Jerey Archer. I also read Wilbur Smith for war stories and James Patterson for crime detective stories. That is moving ahead, right? I must admit, though I still love Judith McNaught. You see, girls start watching football to drool over the likes of Theo Walcott and Chicharito and, before you know it, they become great fans, enjoying the game and not just the players. The same goes for metal head rockers. They start listening to the likes of Pink Floyd, The Fray and Avril. Before long, they graduate to Hinder, Skillet, 30 Seconds to Mars and other hard metal bands. So, my point is the young readers are heading somewhere. If they are reading Insyder, let them. You will not know when they grab the next Forbes and other nancial magazines. Here I am having travelled the same route. I now love my inspirational books by Joel Osteen, Pepe Minambo and Mbugua Mumbi, which I must admit costs an arm and leg to purchase, considering I am a college student. Now, here I am yearning for more from Wole Soyinka and Binyavanga and my favourite, Mwangi Gicheru. Although I am not yet a fan of poetry, hopefully I will get there.

White House cancels Obama game drive in Tanzania: report

Planned safari which President and his wife were to take was called o over budgetary concerns
WASHINGTON, Friday
he White House has cancelled a safari that US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were due to take in Tanzania over budgetary concerns, The Washington Post reported on Thursday. The newspaper, citing a Secret Service planning document, said the excursion scheduled during a tour of Africa that Obama will undertake later this month would have required agents protecting him to take extraordinary precautions. The safari would have required the presidents special counter-assault team to carry sniper ries with high-calibre rounds that could neutralise cheetahs, lions or other animals if they became a threat, the paper reported. Outlining the vast security preparations made for Obamas trip to Senegal, Tanzania and South Africa, the document was provided to the Post by a person concerned about the amount of resources necessary for the trip. It did not provide cost information.

Tension as Mugabe sets election date

Political tension in Zimbabwe soared on Thursday after its veteran president Robert Mugabe set July 31 as the day for general elections, a decision that immediately drew protest from his arch rival prime minister Morgan Tsvangirai. Tsvangirai, who is in a unity government with Mugabe, called the proclamation unconstitutional and said he would lodge an appeal against it in the Constitutional Court. (Xinhua)
The Post said the White House cancelled the safari on Wednesday after the paper inquired about the purpose and expense . The Obamas had been expected to spend more than two hours at Tanzanias Mikumi National Park. The White House was not immediately available for comment, but a spokesman told the Post that a trip to South Africas Robben Island, the site of the prison where anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela was held, had taken precedence. We do not have a limitless supply of assets to support presidential missions, and we prioritised a visit to Robben Island over a two-hour safari in Tanzania, said the spokesman, Josh Earnest. Unfortunately, we couldnt do both. The Post said Obamas Africa tour, his rst since taking oce in January 2009, could cost the government between $60 million and $100 million, based on cost of similar trips in recent years. The report comes as many government agencies struggle with mandatory budget cuts that took eect in March because US lawmakers failed to strike a wider budget deal. Hundreds of Secret Service agents will be dispatched for the presidents visit, along with a Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully-staed medical trauma centre stationed oshore, the report said. Dozens of vehicles will also be brought to the three countries by military transport planes, along with sheets of bullet-proof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the Obamas stay. Fighter jets will y in shifts, giving 24-hour coverage over the presidents airspace, the report said, citing the Secret Service document. (AFP)

Bishops hold prayer vigil outside Mandela hospital

PRETORIA, Friday
A dozen South African bishops today held a prayer vigil outside the hospital where former president Nelson Mandela has spent a week receiving treatment for a lung infection. The clerics, sporting owing purple robes and white collars and representing a variety of denominations, stood hand-in-hand to say prayers for Mandela, who is said to be improving but still in a serious condition. Thank you (God) for the speedy recovery of Dr Nelson Mandela, said Bishop Abraham Sibiya of the Christ Centred Church Episcopal Soshanguve, to chants of amen. After a visit to the hospital late Thursday, President Jacob Zuma said the health of the countrys rst black president continues to improve but his condition remains serious. The hospital is under lockdown and entry is restricted to Mandelas close family and those cleared to have business inside the hospital.

Sudan accuses South and rebels for oil pipeline blast

Juba denies role in explosion, saying Khartoum backing armed groups in its territory
KHARTOUM, Friday
ebels based in South Sudan have attacked an oil pipeline in the disputed Abyei region, Khartoum says, amid worsening relations with its neighbour. The fire in the Diffra oil eld lasted for several hours before being extinguished, an army spokesman said. The spokesman blamed the attack, which took place on Thursday, on rebels from Darfur, saying they had crossed the border from South Sudan. Both rebels and the South have reportedly denied responsibility. The accusation comes two days after Sudan ordered oil companies to block South Sudans oil from going through its pipelines to export terminals. The blockade, which takes eect in 60 days, was imposed after Sudans President Omar al-Bashir accused the South of backing rebels. South Sudan denies the charges and in turn accuses Khartoum of supporting armed groups in its territory. Relations have been fraught since South Sudan gained independence in 2011, taking with it some 75 per cent of the former states oil. However, the South is

Army spokesman Sawarmi Khaled Saad said the Justice and Equality Movement (Jem) from Darfur carried out the explosion in Dira, after receiving technical support from South Sudans army. The explosion led to a re that has now been controlled, Saad explained in a statement seen by the Nation. Jem spokesperson Jibril Ibrahim Bilal, however, denied the charges, according to the Sudan Tribune newspaper. South Sudan also denied having any links to the blast. We cannot do that at a time when we want the oil to ow, foreign affairs spokesman Mawien Makol Arik told the Reuters news agency. South Sudan gets about 98 per cent of its revenue from its oil exports.

SAs ruling party website attacked by Zim activists

JOHANNESBURG, Friday
South Africas ruling African National Congress today said its website had been hacked by Zimbabwean activists claiming a link to the global hacktivist group Anonymous. Someone calling themselves Anonymous and claiming to be the legitimate representative of the people of Zimbabwe has flooded the website of our organisation, the ANC said in a statement. The denial of service attack which oods a website with so many data requests that it crashes appeared to be in eect from around 9am. Our website management team is currently working on the problem, including assessing means to strengthen our security so that such does not recur in future, said spokesman Jackson Mthembu. Anonymous is a loosely organised group that has been blamed for attacks on the FBI, Visa, MasterCard, the Kremlin, global intelligence rm Stratfor and Sony Pictures Entertainment among others. The latest hacking attack appears to be linked to South Africas stance on the ongoing political crisis in neighbouring Zimbabwe. The South African Government has been criticised for its perceived failure to take a hard line against Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, the leader of a fellow liberation movement. Using the Twitter handle @zim4thewin, a group calling themselves Anonymous Africa warned the ANC of the impending attack. Tick tock tick tock, your site will stop working in 40 minutes. think about all the blood on your corrupt hands when it is down, the unveried group warned.

Obama boosts military aid to Syrian rebels

Decision made after US concluded Assad forces are using chemical weapons

he US is to supply direct military aid to the Syrian opposition for the first time, the White House has announced. President Barack Obama made the decision after his administration concluded Syrian forces under Bashar al-Assad were using chemical weapons, a spokesman said. Ben Rhodes did not give details about the military aid other than to say it would be dierent in scope and scale to what we have provided before. The US had warned any use of chemical weapons would cross a red line. The US announcement is one that the Syrian opposition has been pushing and praying for months. It seems clear that President Obama has finally been persuaded, as Britain and France have argued, that the battleeld cannot be allowed to tilt strongly in the regimes favour, as is currently happening, he adds.

But a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that he remained against any further militarisation of the conict in Syria, saying the people there need peace not more weapons. Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser to Obama, said the US intelligence community believed the Assad regime has used chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin, on a small scale against the opposition multiple times over the last year. He said intelligence ocials had a high condence in their assessment, and also estimated that 100 to 150 people had died from chemical weapons attacks, however, casualty data is likely incomplete.

ported that Washington is also considering a no-y zone inside Syria, possibly near the border with Jordan, that would protect refugees and rebels who are training there. When asked whether Obama would back a no-y zone over Syria, Rhodes said one would not make a huge dierence on the ground but would be costly. He said further actions would be taken on our own timeline. The CIA is expected to coordinate delivery of the military equipment and train the rebel soldiers on how to use it. Until now, the US has limited its help to rebel forces by providing rations and medical supplies.

Iranians cast ballots in key presidential election

TEHRAN, Friday
Iranians were today voting for a new president in an election that reformists hope to win with the conservatives riven by division, four years after the disputed re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Dozens of men and women, in separate queues, were seen outside polling stations as they opened at 8am. Voting continues until 6pm but that could be extended if there is a big turnout. More than 50.5 million people are eligible to vote for the man no women candidates do not agree with the way the election is being run, Khamenei said on national television. The Iranian people ... will do what is in their interest. His remarks were echoed by Ayatollah Ahmad Janati, head of the hardline Guardians Council electoral watchdog, who said voters were poking their ngers in the eye of the enemy. If no candidate secures more than half of the votes to win outright today, a second round will be held a week later. The rst results are expected on Saturday. With the conservative camp divided, reformists seem condent of a good showing by moderate cleric Hassan Rowhani, who has emerged as a frontrunner with a real chance of forcing a run-o, analysts say. A pack of three heads the conservatives: former foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati, Tehran mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and the Islamic republics chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili. Both sides, reformist and conservative, have appealed for the electorate to turn out in high numbers the rst hoping for change and the other to show the power of a regime accused of seeking to ensure victory for a Khamenei loyalist. Its a duty. I hope the next president can do something for us, and for the workers. I will vote for Qalibaf because he is a good mayor. I hope the promises he made will come true, said a 50-year-old woman in a voting queue, who declined to give her name. Former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who was disqualied from running, urged a large turnout, which analysts say will increase the chances Rowhani putting up a credible showing against the conservatives. We hope the election result will lead to national cohesion ... since cohesion is a requirement for success against foreign and domestic dangers, said Rafsanjani, who has thrown his weight behind Rowhani.

The award of the Charter by His Excellency the immediate former President Mwai Kibaki was a clear indication of the fact that the institution met all the requirements of the Commission as stipulated in the Universities Act No.42 of 2012. The Commission will continue to work with the University to ensure conformity with the Universities Act No.42 of 2012 as the University carries out its mandate of offering quality education. With its unique mandate, South Eastern Kenya University must carve a niche for itself in the academic arena and play a key role in informing Government policy in the transformation of arid and semi-arid areas of the country. The South Eastern Kenya University must now endeavor to produce all rounded graduates who can address the needs of the global job market and also continually review its programmes to ensure quality and relevance. This way, the University will realize its Vision of becoming a globally competitive centre of excellence in teaching, research, innovation and service.

Kenya Airways records Sh7.8bn net loss as passengers reduce

Company management attributes the performance to the Eurozone crisis and the issuance of travel advisories by key market sources
BY CHARLES WOKABI
cwokabi@ke.nationmedia.com enya Airways recorded a Sh7.8 billion net loss for the 12 months through to March 2013, blamed on low passenger numbers and loss on currency exchange. The national carrier recorded a Sh1.6 billion after-tax prot over the same period last year. Management attributes the performance to the Eurozone crisis and the issuance of travel advisories by key market sources, which led to a drop in passengers coming into the country. In 2009, the airline reported a Sh4 billion loss on account of oil hedging. Addressing investors yesterday, KQ chief executive ocer Titus Naikuni said the company took a beating from high fuel costs and the unstable political environment in Africa STRATEGY
Counties urged to help revive coee crop

County governments have been asked to help revive coee farming, which provides jobs for 5 million Kenyans. Coffee Board of Kenya chief technology and regulatory services manager Isabella Ngonge and Ministry of Trade, Tourism, Industry and Co-operatives assistant commissioner Justus Kiago said that despite high demand for Kenyan and Ethiopian coee in the world markets, local farmers are not producing enough for export.
experienced in the year. Last year, Cte dIvoire and Mali were in turmoil, forcing airlines to abandon scheduled ghts to the two countries. The year was characterised by harsh economic and geopolitical conditions that adversely impacted on the performance of the company. The situation was worsened by the Eurozone crisis, Mr Naikuni said. We hope to rebound in the next year as the political and economic environment improves. In a year that saw some seven airlines close down, KQ reported a rst-time operating loss of Sh9 billion, down from the Sh1.3 prot recorded the previous year. This means the income the company generates from ferrying passengers and cargo is not enough to cover for the costs incurred providing the services. Revenues dropped 8.4 per cent from Sh107.8 billion in 2012 to Sh98.86 billion in the year under review. Passengers declined by 3.6 per cent to 9.5 million. Mr Naikuni said the airline incurred huge costs in retrenchment , which saw over 800 employees leave the company in the past year. As part of its come-back strategy, the company plans to establish its own fuel procurement rm. The move, the CEO says, is meant to cut the additional cost KQ incurs buying fuel from other companies. We spent more than Sh41 billion on fuel in the past nan-

Coee Boards technology and regulatory services manager Isabella Ngonge

Ms Ngonge said there are plans to introduce the crop in the Lake Basin and Bungoma, Kitale, Kericho, Siaya, parts of South Nyanza and Vihiga. She said CBK has not achieved its target of 300 million tonnes of processed coee for export since 2005 due to low productivity. For the last three years, she added, prices of the crop have been stable compared to the previous years due to high demand of Kenyan coee in foreign markets. Consumption of coee globally has increased steadily, but production has not been coping with the high demand, a scenario that is likely to spur good prices for the crop, she added. This is why as a board, we have decided to encourage farmers to plant coee in all arable areas. At the same time, Ms Ngonge and Mr Kiago urged Kenyans to drink more coee.

Blow for the poor as kerosene price up by Sh2

BY NATION REPORTER
Low income households will spend more on fuel in the coming months following a directive by the Energy Regulatory Commission to raise the price of kerosene. However, motor vehicle owners will be pleased as both the petrol and diesel price went down. In a statement, ERC directed the price of kerosene in Nairobi to be reduced by Sh2.06 per litre. Pump prices for other towns will be adjusted accordingly. Motorists will enjoy reduced costs for the third consecutive month after pump prices of super petrol and diesel decreased by Sh5.06 and Sh1.90 per litre respectively. In a statement accompanying the recommended prices, ERC said ineciencies at the countrys only renery have led to additional costs, which have been passed on to consumers. The reduction in the prices of super petrol and diesel has been occasioned by reduced prices in the international market coupled with a stable exchange rate.
Negative impact
The lag in the local processing of crude oil cargoes has had a negative impact on the prices of locally refined products especially kerosene, the statement read in part. Last months price review saw the cost of kerosene drop by Sh4.37 per litre in Nairobi and that of diesel and super petrol by Sh5.38 and Sh4.41 per litre respectively.

dress the problems the sugar industry faces. We have so many marketing and lobby bodies in the country with unique roles and they cannot be simply bundled together under one institution, said Mr Kirior. He said parliament hurriedly debated and passed the Act last year without consulting stakeholders. Mr Kirior told farmers that the gazzettement of the Act will render the Sugar Act, which has provisions that protect farmers interest, ineective. The Act was signed by former president Mwai Kibaki in January. The agencies are Sisal Board, Cotton Board of Kenya, National Cereals and Produce Board, Coffee Board, Tea Board, Pyrethrum Board, and Coconut Development Authority.

4,000 strike at S. African mine

JOHANNESBURG, Friday
Up to 4,000 mineworkers staged a sit-in strike at an Anglo American Platinum mine in South Africas restive platinum belt today over the suspension of four leaders, a union representative told AFP. Workers from the upstart Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) at the mines Thembelani shaft in Rustenburg have refused to come out since the 4am (0200 GMT) shift started, according to George Tyobeka, an AMCU leader. They dont want to come out from underground because they want their leaderships suspension lifted, said Tyobeka. Around 3,000 to 4,000 people were striking, he said. Anglo American Platinum confirmed the industrial action, but said around 2,400 employees were underground and were being prevented from exiting underground by a group of employees. It conrmed the action had been ignited by the suspension of four local unionists for inappropriate behaviour which is against our behavioural procedure. The four AMCU leaders had been suspended amid allegations they submitted fraudulent membership applications in a bid to inate union membership numbers. Rival unions have been in a bloody war for dominance at the mines. (AFP)
he Kenya Sugar Board has urged farmers to resist attempts to implement the Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Authority Act saying it will hurt the industry. The board chairman Mr Kiptarus arap Kirior said the Act, which seeks to merge 14 marketing agencies and regulators in the agriculture sector, is not well thought-out and will not solve the industrys woes. Speaking at a farmers eld day organised by the Kenya Sugar Research Foundation in Kisumu, Mr Kirior said one blanket institution cannot ad-

And team sponsors, Kenya Airways, pledged to extend their Sh290 million sponsorship that expires this year. The team leaves for London today for a 10-day training camp before proceeding to Moscow where the world sevens showpiece will be staged from June 28 to 30 at the Luzhniki Stadium.

President Kenyatta, who played secondary schools rugby in the late 1970s, pledged a personal cash reward of Sh100,000 per player if they win the Cup, Sh50,000 for making the nal, Sh50,000 semis and Sh25,000 if they reach the quarter-nals. On a lighter note, the President said he would give each player Sh1,000 and have a word with them over a beer should they fail to reach the knock-out stage. He conceded that the government had been underfunding sports for a long time. That is something we want to change, he said. Deputy President William Ruto, who also graced the occasion, urged the team on, saying every Kenyan was behind them. KRU chairman Mwangi Muthee pleaded for more support from the Central Government, saying the game had expanded tremendously and with the development of depth, Kenya would become a rugby super power. The Sports Ministry has provided Sh3m to fund Kenyas camp in London. Were re-negotiating the contract . Im aware other international airlines are interested. I want to tell them to keep o.

AFC very keen on keeping Mumias
Kenyans plot against Uganda in Elgon Cup

BY AYUMBA AYODI
sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com Kenya 15s players will be seeking revenge as they launch their campaign to reclaim the Elgon Cup from Uganda today at Kasarani Stadium. But the visitors seem bent on retaining the crown they won last year after a ve-year hiatus. Uganda won 19-5 in the first leg in Kampala but still claimed the title despite losing 0-12 in Nairobi. Going by performance in the Bamburi Rugby Super Series and history, Kenya have the upper hand. Ndovu edged out Ugandas Rwenzori 24-18 to lift this years Bamburi Rugby Super Series title two weeks ago. Kenya have lost to Uganda only twice at home since the tournaments revival in 2001. The Kenyan womens team are hoping to retain their diadem in honour of their fallen heroine, captain Abedeen Shikoyi, who died following a collision with an opponent in their rst leg match in Kampala last year. Kenya mens team returned on Wednesday from a 10-day strength and conditioning training in South Africa under tactician Jerome Paawaters and former Springboks coach Peter de Villiers.
AFC Leopards have begun fresh talks with principal sponsors Mumias Sugar as they look to renew their sponsorship when the current deal expires in six months time. Acting club chairman, Walter Onyino (right) yesterday said that the club is keen on extending the partnership agreement with the sugar millers and that more round table talks will be taking place soon. They have been good sponsors and as a result we are giving them the rst priority, Onyino said.

50 players over 50 years: A peek into

BY ROY GACHUHI
gachuhiroy@gmail.com
Its impossible to think of Kadenge as a Luhya, just as its unthinkable to consider Kipchoge a Kalenjin or Joginder an Asian. They are three of a kind
him (Kadenge) as an extremely talented player. When he got the ball on the right wing, it was just so dicult for a defender to dispossess him
Leonard Mambo Mbotela, radio commentator
I remember
he only man out of the list of 50 that Ive compiled below as my personal selection of the greatest Kenyan footballers of the last 50 years that I will discuss at some length is Joe Kadenge. I expect to draw re and it is welcome. Kadenge is, in my opinion, one of three sportsmen who by their charisma overcame Kenyas intrinsic weaknesses of tribe, religion and race to attract the nations universal acclaim. Children of diverse ethnic, religious and racial backgrounds grew up wanting to be like them. In the impressionable minds of these youngsters, they didnt belong to where in Kenya they had emerged from; they were just Kenyans. The other two sportsmen who t this description are Kipchoge Keino and Joginder Singh. It is impossible to think of Kadenge as a Luhya, just as it is unthinkable to consider Kipchoge a Kalenjin or Joginder an Asian, even if they are those as a matter of fact. These sportsmen personify victory over our countrys most debilitating aictions. There are many others like them, more than can t these two pages, but as far as I am concerned, the three are the faces of that victory if indeed it is. They are not angels; they are human and all three have exhibited the weaknesses that weigh us down. But across 50 years, their names gave us an idea that despite everything things may yet come to fruition. Back to Kadenge. Leonard Mambo Mbotela, the icon of our radio airwaves, tells me: I started my broadcasting career in the 1950s. I was working under the tutelage of the late Stephen Kikumu. I started training in football commentary when Kadenge was
Weaknesses that weigh us down
Kadenge is, in my opinion, one of three sportsmen who by their charisma overcame Kenyas intrinsic weaknesses of tribe, religion and race to attract the nations universal acclaim
at his best. I remember him as an extremely talented player. When he got the ball on the right wing, it was just so dicult for a defender to dispossess him. He held on to the ball for long. He didnt usually pass it. Once he got the ball, he tried to get past everybody and score. That gave me the style of commentary that Kenyans came to know about. As Kadenge toyed with defenders, I ran my commentary like this: Kadenge na mpira Kadenge na mpira Kadenge na mpira; Kadenge ana kwenda, Kadenge ana kwenda, Kadenge ana kwenda, Kadenge! Kadenge! Kadenge! Kadenge na mpirashooooot! Goooaaaalllll..! He was a very special person. My football commentating style started with him. And now the ip side of the ball control genius. I have spoken to two players who played with Kadenge and three others who watched him and ended up in the national team. Because of the critical appraisal of a national icon who didnt gain the world from his beloved game, they stridently requested not to be mentioned by name. One said: He fell in love with Mambos commentary and held onto the ball when better judgment would have dictated he pass it for the good of them. He thus became famous at the expense of the team. But he was doubtless a great ball juggler. And the other: Football is about teamwork. And he was not the best team player. He passed the ball only so reluctantly. But as a dribbler, he was second to none. In terms of skill, he is the greatest winger in Kenya, ever. Kadenge the man is no less great than Kadenge the footballer. In the Saturday Nation of September 1, 2012, I ran a prole of Abbey Nasur. Like thousands of Ugandans, Nasur had ed his native Uganda in the wake of dictator Idi Amins ouster in 1979. As a right winger, he had helped the Cranes to a second place nish in the 1978 Africa Nations Cup. Now he was staring repatriation in the face, in a crowded Kakamega showground, as Kenyan authorities prepared to ship back the unwanted refugees back home. Kadenge, then the team manager of Imara FC, knew of Nasurs exploits on the football eld and had heard that the frightened star was among t h e disheveled and dispirited Ugandans awaiting repatriation. He hurried there. He talked the provincial administration into releasing Nasur, rented a house for him in Kibera and gave him a place in Imara. And he made sure that Nasur and his family never ran out of food. Nasur remembered for me: I will never be able to thank Joe Kadenge enough for as long as I live. To this day, I am overwhelmed with gratitude each time I remember what he did for me. I played for Imara for two seasons and I helped nature players like Wilberforce Mulamba and Francis Kadenge, Joes son. But I dont know what I will ever do for Joe. He treated me with a kindness more than the most loving father could. In Hopes and Dreams, the book published to commemorate the rst Fifa World Cup in Africa in 2010, Kadenges citation reads in part: Across Kenya, even those with little or no interest in football recognize his name and such was his impact that one of the most popular sayings in Kenya Kadenge na mpira, shuti goal! is a tribute to the old master. Kadenge is still revered by most Kenyans up and down the country. Trac police invariably salute and wave him on whenever they spot his taxi Some people will tell you that Kadenge is to Kenyan football what Kipchoge Keino is to Kenyan athletics a legend every young Kenyan wants to emulate. In his prime, he provided class, air and character both on and o the pitch; a player who regularly pulled o the spectacular. As a child, I followed Mambos breathtaking commentaries about Kadenge. I was too young to cover him. But I grew up to cover his illustrious successors, many of whom make the list that I have compiled today. I bow to Joe Kadenge and all these great footballers, and the others whom Ive left out because of the number restriction, and acknowledge that without them, I would never have experienced the exhilaration of writing a sports story.

have experienced the exhilaration of writing a sports story
Kenyas nest footballers of all time

GOALKEEPERS James Sianga. Goalkeeper of the independence era. Turned out for the future Harambee Stars for 13 years, in itself testimony to his brilliance and immovability. Also coached the national team. He has coached in other countries in the region, an uncommon Kenyan export product. Dan Odhiambo Best Gor Mahia goalkeeper ever. Unbeatable in one-on-one situations. Very brave. Weak with long range balls. Mahmoud Abbas. The debate will never end as to who between him and his mentor Sianga was greater. But Abbas had the singular talent for stopping penalties. Even when Kenya played poorly, this earned him the attention of experts and he has been lauded as one of the greatest goalkeepers to come out of the African continent. Mohammed Magogo Captain of the stars before being ousted by Abbas. Flamboyant. Went to play in the Middle East. Ben Okoth Independence era goalkeeper. Motivated Sianga. Joseph Were Independence era goalkeeper. Like Okoth, gave way to Sianga, the inimitable youngster of his day. DEFENDERS Jonathan Niva. Kenyas rst overlapping fullback, an outstanding, even overbearing personality on the eld. He dominated AFC Leopards on the pitch and o it. He brought much characterbased baggage to both Leopards and Harambee Stars for which he also played and coached, but no list of Kenya football greats can be without Nivas name. Peter Otieno Bassanga Overlapping left back. Mainstay of the Marshall Mulwa teams that conquered the East and Central African region. Daniel Anyanzwa Cool, calm, collected. Slow, but extremely hard to pass. Always reminds one of Germanys Franz Beckenbauer, the Kaiser. Josephat Murila. The AFC Leopards and Harambee Stars centre half was as ne a footballer as one could ever wish for. He had high speed for a defender, great skill on the ground and in the air, a cool temperament and an amiable personality. They called him The
including at the World Cup.
Abbas Controller. I called him the man who never put a foot wrong. He was both. Bobby Ogolla. Kenyas greatest central defender ever. Fondly nicknamed the Six Million Dollar Man after the lead character of a 1980s television thriller series of the same name, Bobby was the kind of player only injury or age could remove from Gor Mahia and Harambee Stars. The Number Four jersey was his for keeps. Amrani Shiba Captain of the Independence team. A great stopper, before we knew Bobby Ogolla. Peter Wasiembo A high work rate left back of the Independence team. Moses Wabwai A mainstay of the independence team. Rarely substituted. Joram Roy Incredible power for a man so small he measured just about ve feet. Played for Limurus Bata Bullets. Was right back for the Kenya team to the 1972 Nations Cup. Anthony Mukabwa One of the original Abaluhya FC players (1964). Featured regularly for Kenya team. Very strong, great stamina. Austin Oduor Kenyas most successful captain ever. A model of discipline. A wholesome character, with sound philosophical underpinnings. Good company to keep. Patriarch of a footballing family. Charles Makunda Tragically killed in a road crash at the height of his powers. Despite dying young, he still makes the list. Certainly one of Kenyas best ever right backs. Vincent Kwarula Overlapping fullback for Tusker and Kenya. Nicknamed Josimar for playing like a great Brazilian right back who scored many goals,
MIDFIELDERS Sammy Owino. Sammy was one class behind me in high school and I told him he would play for Harambee Stars when only our school football team knew him. Those who never saw him missed magic. When Gor Mahia said the rst half is Gor and the second is one Magic, it was Kempes, as they called him, on their mind. Allan Thigo. He was variously called the 90-minute man because he was never up for substitution. He had tremendous inuence on other players and exhibited unusual capacity to single-handedly alter the tempo and rhythm of a game. Wilberforce Mulamba. To talk of Mulamba, also nicknamed Maradona, you must rst issue a caveat: When he was in the mood. Because when he wasnt, he could make you cry with frustration. But when he was in the mood and with form to go with it, he could t in any World Cup nals team in the world, dare I claim. Daniel Nicodemus defenderturned-midelder-turned striker (unconrmed stories have it that he had tried goalkeeping as well) but a must for Kenya in his day. Highly rated by team mates and fans who watched him. Peter Oronge Excellent linkman (Number 6). Playmaker extraordinary. Also coached Kenya, but famously disappeared mysteriously hours before Kenya got clobbered 13-2 by Ghana in 1964. Badi Ali, Ahmed Breik, Ali Sungura, Ali Kadjo and Kadir Farah. The poster boys of Coast football when it was at its peak. They played in dierent positions but Ive grouped them together as a tribute to excellent Coast football gone by. Kadir Farah, one of our most delightful midelders ever with delicate touches of the ball absolute elegance. If only space could allow me to write more about them! Victor Wanyama. When Harambee Stars denied Uganda Cranes a place in the Gabon/ Equatorial Guinea Africa Nations Cup, I asked Abbey Nasur, a former Gor Mahia great, who done it? I expected he would say Arnold Origi, our goalkeeper. But Nasur was obsessed with Wanyama and seemed stuck with him. Wanyama was not
famous at that time. Nasur made me develop an interest in him. Now you know why. McDonald Mariga. He became bigger than Oliech in Europe. Hobbled by injury, fans must pray that his medical and technical people make him do all the right things. If they dont, the only midelder today along with his brother Victor, of course who could play alongside Mulamba and Owino in the 1980s may face a tragic early sunset. May that not happen for he is truly one of our greats. Hezekiah Angana Temperamental Number 8, kingpin of Abaluhya FC and Kenya, favourite (along with Aggrey Lukoye) of coach Bernhard Zgoll. Committed suicide when caught up in a love triangle. Steve Yongo Skillful, with a great work rate, for Luo Union and Kenya. An inspirational team player as well. Douglas Mutua Slight of built but engaging player to watch with excellent ball control. He used to kill even the trickiest balls easily. You remember him and you ask: Where did players like this go?
Mulamba Joe Kadenge. (See main prole). Ellie Adero Nicknamed Charahani (seeming machine) by Tanzanians because of his speed. Switched wings seamlessly. Winning captain of Harambee Stars in 1983. Nashon Oluoch Feinting genius. He ran balls at great speed along the touchline. A real nightmare for any defender assigned him. Ambrose Ayoyi His hallmark was de-marking i.e. he lost his markers for long periods of a game. He used to hide in the open. Possessed of a terric left foot. Also a good penalty taker. Binzi Mwakolo Razor sharp right winger for Breweries and Harambee Stars. He made going past defenders look easy, and could make you laugh as he made their tackles look so awkward and foolish. Sammy Onyango Jogoo Very powerful with both feet. A mainstay of Gor Mahia from Hakati FC. Killed in a road crash. Aggrey Lukoye The lone survivor of a purge of instituted by Bernhard Zgoll when he took over the Kenya team in 1974. He had only one foot on the pitch the left one, but what a foot it was! Amazing bursts of speed. Played for Leopards and Kenya for 13 years.
John Nyawanga Left wing maestro of Breweries and Kenya. Ali Sungura (See above on Coast players).
WINGERS
Wanyama
CENTRE FORWARDS William Chege Ouma. There is Denis Oliech and there was JJ Masiga. But fans of Kenya football of the 1970s are insistent that there never was a greater striker than William Chege Ouma. His sudden change of direction, his cunning and his exquisite ball handling skills, have not been seen in Kenya since he left the scene. I saw him only briey but I have been told for more
times than I can remember that there was only one Chege and hes gone. Joe Masiga. JJ helped AFC Leopards to a semi-nal place in the 1981 CECAFA Club Cup in Malawi, jumped into a plane and returned home to do his nal year exams at the University of Nairobi - passing them, as it turned out later, to qualify as a dentist. He jumped into the next plane to Malawi and arrived just in time for the nal against archrivals Gor Mahia. He scored both Leopards goals but they lost, 3-2 and that was cruel luck. That story is snippet of his character. He remains a good example to the youth. Peter Dawo Leading African scorer when Gor Mahia won the 1987 Mandela Cup. Powerful both on the ground and in the air. Excellent physique. Denis Oliech. When Kenya football plummeted to its lowest lows after the highs of the 80s, he is the one who revived it. He was the rst of todays football celebs; he broke the glass ceiling and became a hit abroad. Technically, I am not sure he can hold a candle to JJ Masiga but warts and all, we owe him the world for giving us back our game. Charles Ochieng A great header of the ball. Actually, Ochieng took only his head to the pitch, hardly the feet, but thats all you could ask for. Elijah Lidonde The most powerful right foot in Kenyas history. We grew up with fables that a penalty shot he made entered the goalkeepers stomach, killing him instantly. Thereafter, Lidonde was prohibited from ever using his right foot again by the police! Henry Motego Ndovu (Elephant) of Shabana, Breweries and Kenya. A great work rate. Livingstone Madegwa Was a member of the rst Breweries team formed at great cost to Abaluhya FC. Fine striker, key member of the 1972 Nations Cup team.

History always repeats itself, as Super Eagles reminded Stars

Left: Kenyas Victor Wanyama gets past Nigerias Ogenyi Onazi during their World Cup qualier at Kasarani on June 5. Right: Francis Kahata beats Elderson Echiejile to the ball.
So much has been said about why Kenya lost to Nigeria last week, virtually knocking them out of the running for the 2014 World Cup. Yes, Stars took the eld minus an attacking department. One of the key midelders was high on shisha. McDonald Mariga and Dennis Oliech were not there. And banished from the dug-out, Adel Amrouche coached via Skype. Yet the main reason why Kenya failed to shoot down the Eagles had nothing to do with anything they did or didnt do on the pitch. It had everything to do with history and psychology. Regardless of form or elding the Super Eagles, like the Pharaohs of Egypt, will simply always beat Kenya when the chips are down. Unless, of course, Sports Cabinet Secretary Wario launches a revolution. I will write more on this subject some other time. -- Roy Gachuhi

frican champions Nigeria, who stayed in Namibia after their World Cup qualier in a row over bonus payments, have delayed their departure for the Confederations Cup in Brazil, ocials said yesterday. The Super Eagles failed to catch their ight to South America for the tournament, which begins on today, after players insisted they should be paid their usual win bonus for the 1-1 draw in Windhoek on Wednesday. The president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Aminu Maigari, met the team to explain that the organisation is broke and as result, they would only be $2,500 (1,873 euros, 1,594) each. Players had demanded double that amount.
Now, the NFF said that Nigerias sports minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, had intervened in the row and the Super Eagles would now y to Brazil today. We are most grateful to the minister for his intervention in the matter, which means the team can now travel to Brazil on Saturday and arrive in Belo Horizonte before our rst match against Tahiti on Monday, said NFF general secretary Musa Amadu. Amadu said the NFF, like most Nigerians, was taken aback by the actions of the players to stay back in Namibia. We are shocked like every Nigerian at the attitude of the players, he said. It is incomprehensible because the NFF president and myself sat down with the management of the Super Eagles, including coach Stephen Keshi, to explain why we had to slash the bonus and other measures taken as a result of our nancial constraints. The NFF also dismissed reports that they were queried by the National Sports Commission over the bonus saga. We did not receive any query from the National Sports Commission. Before taking the decision to slash the win-bonus and downsize the teams crew, we briefed the minister, Amadu added. Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke also conrmed on Thursday that Nigeria will travel to Brazil today to compete in the Confederations Cup despite an ongoing dispute about bonus payments.

nadequate infrastructure, particularly in air transport, threatens footballmad Brazils hopes of dazzling the world with the best-organised World Cup ever 12 months from now. Expectations are high. It will be the rst World Cup hosted by the South American powerhouse since 1950, when the countrys defeat to Uruguay in the nal at Rios iconic Maracana stadium is still considered a traumatic national humiliation. Brazilians may not have invented football but they have elevated it to an art and for many fans, hosting both the Confederations Cup, which kicks o today, and next years World Cup promises an unparalleled, samba-driven esta. But tempering the general optimism as eight countries Brazil, Spain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Tahiti and Uruguay compete in the June 15-30 Confederations Cup is concern about lingering logistical woes. Some 355,000 Brazilians and foreign tourists are expected for the tournament, which is seen as a dress rehearsal for next years mega-event. But organisers have been struggling to complete the construction or renovation of the six host arenas, with work plagued by repeated delays due to strikes, roof collapses and other problems. Four of the stadiums were delivered to footballs world governing body Fifa behind schedule and in the northeastern city of Salvador last month a human error caused part of the roof of the brand new Arena Fonte Nova to collapse following heavy rains. Air transport is a main headache In a vast country bigger than the continental United States, transport is a huge challenge. Trac jams can stretch up to 200 kilometers (124 miles) in major cities, roads are often in a sorry state, while airports are congested and there is virtually no passenger train service. Air transport has increased more than 120 per cent over the past decade, on the back of rising disposable income but airport capacity has been overwhelmed. The countrys notoriously congested airports now have to cope with an inux of three million Brazilian tourists and 500,000 foreigners who will ock to the 12 host cities during the World Cup. Some airports have been privatized and others have slowly been upgraded. But critics say investment in infrastructure has been insucient. Without good planning, good regulation and investment incentives, it (the World Cup) is going to be a disaster, Gesner de Oliveira, an infrastructure expert at the private Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) business school in Sao Paulo, warned. Brazil spends roughly two per cent of its gross

domestic product on infrastructure compared with more than seven per cent by China and ve per cent by Chile, he noted. Nevertheless, Oliveira believes emerging Brazil can make a great leap forward and rise to the occasion by staging a decent World Cup in terms of infrastructure. Just boosting the capacity of airports will not be FIXTURES enough, however, if they cannot operate satisfactorily, if you have endless queues, delays in luggage handling, sports minister Aldo Rebelo conceded recently. Security will be another major worry in a country of 194 million, where 40,000 homicides are recorded annually, according to the private Map of Violence study based on official statistics. High levels of violence are reported in the 12 host cities, although security in Rio has been considerably improved since 2008 when security forces began wresting control of area shantytowns from drug gangs. Television broadcast rights While Fifa is banking on $4 billion in revenue from the World Cup, including 60 per cent from television broadcasting rights, the Brazilian government is earmarking $15 billion in public investments for the event. A joint study by consulting rm Ernst and Young and FGV says these investments mean that $70 billion are being pumped into the national economy. Brazils biggest challenge is not building stadiums, metros, airports or telecommunications, but rather how to make the best use of these investments, Pedro Trengrouse, the United Nations ocial monitoring the World Cup, told AFP. Brazil is hosting the World Cup because it can foot the bill. And its objective is to create joy, enhance the countrys image with huge festivals everywhere, he added. (AFP)

Samba Boys take on Asian champs Japan in a tricky opener

Brasilia razil and coach Luiz Felipe Scolari cannot help but have one eye on next years World Cup on home soil, but if the acid test is 12 months away the countdown starts today when the Selecao take on Japan in their Confederations Cup opener. Scolari led the Selecao to their fth World Cup, a coronation sealed in Tokyo 11 years ago. But the fact he is back for a second spell at the helm is evidence of the degree to which impatience and concern rule hearts and minds across this giant footballing nation given a clutch of disappointing showings at major events ever since. Scolari has insisted since returning to the fold last November, ironically a matter of days after predecessor Mano Manezes Brazil side spanked the Japanese 4-0 in a friendly in Poland, that the Confederations Cup is a sideshow and that he cannot deliver a second dose of alchemy overnight. Yet the pressure is on as the four-time Asian Cup champions should provide a sti test before further showdowns with Olympic conquerors Mexico and three-time world champions Italy. Brazils star man Neymar says the hosts will not take the Japanese, coached by hugely-experienced Italian Alberto Zaccheroni, lightly, given the hosts are now safe in the knowledge they have booked their World Cup berth and can also draw on the likes of Manchester United favourite Shinji Kagawa.
Tricky opposition
Here are key facts on Brazilian stadiums that will host the June 15-30 Confederations Cup and the World Cup a year from now. Rio de Janeiro After repeated delays in the renovation work begun in August 2010, the new Maracana went through a rst test on April 27, about four months behind schedule. After a bureaucratic muddle over safety requirements was resolved, it was ocially inaugurated on June 2 with a friendly international between Brazil and England, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Seating capacity: 78,639. Cost: 808 million reais ($377 million), according to government gures; $523 million according to press reports. Brasilia The capitals Mane Garrincha will host the opening game Brazil v Japan of the Confederations Cup on June 15. Was also inaugurated behind schedule on May 18. Seating capacity: 71,000.
Cost: $475 million, according to the Brazilian Architects and Engineers Association (Sinaenco, www.portal2014.org.br). Belo Horizonte The Mineiro, refurbished for the Confederations Cup and the World Cup, was inaugurated on December 21. It hosted a friendly international between Brazil and Chile that ended in a 2-2 draw on April 24. Seating capacity: 62,160. Cost: $312 million. Fortaleza The Castelao was also renovated for the Confederations Cup and the World Cup. It was the rst host arena to be delivered to footballs world governing body FIFA and was inaugurated by President Dilma Rousseff on December 17. Seating capacity: 63,903. Cost: $242 million. Recife The Arena Pernambuco was purpose-built for the two tournaments. It was delivered behind schedule and inaugurated on May 20.
Seating capacity: 46,000. Cost: $248 million. Salvador Part of the plastic membrane covering the roof of the Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova collapsed following heavy rains on May 27 in the capital of the northeastern state of Bahia. Inaugurated on April 5. Seating capacity: 55,000. Cost: $277 million. The six following cities will host World Cup matches only: Cuiaba The Arena Pantanal in the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul is scheduled for completion in October, according to government forecasts. Seating capacity: 44,000 Cost: $260 million Curitiba Work on Arena da Baixada is more than two-thirds completed , according to the latest government information released in June. Seating capacity: 41,000 Cost: $117 million
Manaus Arena da Amazonia was just over half built in April and should be delivered just on time in December Seating capacity: 40,000 (44,000 during the World Cup) Cost: $257 million Natal Arena das Dunas was two-thirds completed in April, according to the consortium conducting the work. Seating capacity: 42,000 during the World Cup, 32,000 afterwards Cost: $175 million Porto Alegre Beira-Rio was about 70 percent ready in May. Seating capacity: 60,800 Costo: $165 million Sao Paulo Arena Corinthians, three-quarters ready by late April. Should be completed in December, according to Fifa. Seating capacity: 65,000 Cost: $410 million
Japan are a tricky proposition and not to be underestimated. Keisuke Honda and Kagawa are superb players and the team as a whole mark you very tightly, said Barcelona-bound Neymar. Japan say they wont be caught napping as they were in Poland, but will need to keep an eye on in-form striker Fred, who has ve goals in his last six internationals including two against England in friendly tussles in Wembley where England won 2-1 and Rio, which ended 2-2. Brazil have a very strong team and we need to make sure they dont dole out a repeat of what they did in Poland, said midelder Yasuhito Endo. We will be out to make a much better impression this time with more at stake. The tournament is the rst major event hosted by Brazil since the 1989 Confederations Cup and the logistical challenge has been a tough one, raising concerns about whether the country can produce 12 top notch venues for the World Cup. The opening match at the Estadio Nacional aords residents of the capital a rare chance to watch top-drawer football as the city currently lacks a top-ight team. The hosts will move on rst to Fortaleza then Salvador for their remaining group encounters with Mexico and Italy. If the Selecao win Group A, they will then travel to Belo Horizonte scene of Englands 1950 World Cup upset at the hands of the United States for a June 26 seminal against either reigning South American champions Uruguay or African champions Nigeria, assuming world champions Spain win Group B. Should Scolaris men only take second place in the pool phase they would face a likely Spanish test in Fortaleza on June 27. If Brasilia is o the beaten track in terms of Brazilian footballing tradition, nonetheless striking parallels can be seen between the city and the national team. The city is a paean to modern architecture, a realised dream for former President Juscelino Kubitschek, who determined in the mid-1950s that the capital should be based in the very heart of the country rather than remain in Rio.

In a largely youthful formation, Mikel will be the engine in Keshis machine
Rio de Janeiro helsea midfielder Mikel Obi is backing Nigeria to become the rst African team to win this months Confederations Cup in Brazil. Cameroon boast the best African result in the competition when they lost in the 2003 nal to France. It will be great to win the Confederations Cup and add to my medals collection. It will be another history for Nigeria and Africa, said Mikel. The Chelsea star will be his countrys star attraction at this competition involving continental champions, which kicks o in Brazil on June 15. Mikel made his Eagles debut eight years ago in a friendly against Libya in Tripoli just months after he impressed at the Fifa under-20 World Cup in the Netherlands, where Nigeria lost to a Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina in the nal. The 26-year-old has since grown in stature as he won several major honours with Chelsea including the Champions League last year and the Europa League this season. He has often been criticised for not showing enough commitment to the national team cause but he more than answered his critics when he played an integral role as Nigeria were crowned African champions for a third time in February. Mikel was outstanding at the Nations Cup. Even though he is still young, he has a lot of experience as he has been at the top for a long time, remarked former Nigeria international Garba Lawal. He has been successful and he is only getting better. Mikel is very inuential for Nigeria and he will do more for both club and country going forward, added ex-Nigeria skipper Mutiu Adepoju. M i k e l started out as an attacking midfielder with the Nigeria under-17 team and was hailed as heir apparent to the legendary Augustine Jay Jay Okocha, but he was later converted to a holding midelder by Jose Mourinho. He may not be spectacular but he is tactically disciplined and gets the job done by ensuring the defence keep their shape at all times. His eciency has been AFRICAN CHAMPIONS
exicos popular forward Javier Chicharito Hernandez gets a new chance to shine for his country at the Confederations Cup after losing playing time with his club Manchester United. The countrys star striker was instrumental in getting his nation into the Fifa tournament in Brazil, which takes place between June 15-30, after scoring seven goals to win the 2011 Concacaf Gold Cup. His triumph in the regional tournament coincided with his brilliant debut with Manchester United in the 2010-2011 season, when he netted 20 goals to help the Red Devils win the Premier League and make him a household name in Europe. In his second season, United only lifted the Community Shield and his goal tally dropped to 12 as his time on the pitch began to take a hit with the emergence of Danny Welbeck. His playing time took even more of a knock last season with the arrival of former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie at Old Traord, who helped United reclaim the Premier League title. The 25-year-old forward voiced frustration at the end of the season, with British media quoting him as saying all the players in the world want to start every single game, but he insisted that he was happy at the club. Scored two goals in South Africa Despite losing his place in the pecking order under Alex Ferguson, who retired after the season, Chicharito (Little Pea) scored 18 goals in all competitions for United. He has been impressive when he dons Mexicos green jersey, scoring 32 times in just 47 games since he joined the national team in 2009 while he was playing with Chivas of Guadalajara in Mexico. Mexicans will hope he can continue his torrid pace in the Confederation Cup, when his team will face ve-time World Cup champions Brazil, four-time World Cup winners Italy and Japan in Group A. Hernandez comes from a Mexican football dynasty. His father, Javier Chicharo Hernandez, was on the 1986 World Cup team, and his grandfather, Tomas Balcazar, scored a goal in the 1954 tournament. Chicharito admired Brazilian legend Ronaldo when he was in the Chivas youth teams. (AFP) CONCACAF FLAGBEARERS
rewarded with a contract that keeps him at the London club till June 2017. His club career has further received a major boost with the return to Stamford Bridge of his mentor Mourinho. In the Eagles mideld, he enjoys a less restrictive role as Lazio youngster Ogenyi Onazi and Nations Cup hero Sunday Mba do much of the grafting for him. Nigeria are condent they will shine at their second Confederations Cup, nearly 20 years after their debut in the traditional World Cup warm-up. We have not been given much of a chance at the Confederations Cup but like it was at the Africa Cup of Nations, we will surprise again, predicted striker Brown Ideye. Nigeria rst appeared at the 1995 tournament when it was known as the King Fahd Cup. Moses undergoing rehabilitation On their debut in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, they nished fourth after beating Japan 3-0, holding Argentina to a goalless draw before losing to Mexico on penalties in the third-place playo. The Super Eagles qualied for this years tournament in Brazil after winning their third Africa Cup of Nations trophy in February in South Africa. Nigeria, African champions in 1980 and 1994, were not among the favourites to win this year but after they upset highly-fancied Ivory Coast 2-1 in the quarter-nals, they went all the way to beat giant-killers Burkina Faso 1-0 in the nal. For this months competition in South America, however, they will be without two key stars from the Nations Cup: striker Emmanuel Emenike and Chelsea winger Victor Moses, both due to injury. Spartak Moscow star Emenike was the tournament top scorer in South Africa with four goals. The big striker first suffered a long-term hamstring injury in the Nations Cup semi-nal against Mali, which kept him out of the nal, and he then hurt his knee in a comeback game for his Russian club. Chelsea have announced Moses, who provided the creative juice for the Eagles attack at the Nations Cup, is undergoing rehabilitation for a nagging injury and will only be t again in July. Skipper Joseph Yobo, who is closing in on a century of caps, has also been axed from the squad. (AFP)

Shinji Kagawa vows bigger role for Japan

Rio de Janeiro anchester United star Shinji Kagawa has vowed to step up to the plate for Japan at this months Confederations Cup as the Blue Samurai try to overcome recent unconvincing form. At Manchester, and at Dortmund before that, Im surrounded by great players who make it easy for me to play, said the midelder, who scored six goals in 20 English Premier League matches after moving from the German side. With all his technique and creativity, he stopped short of his target of scoring 10 goals or more for the Red Devils, although he did miss almost two months with a left-knee injury. He still dazzled with a hat-trick against Norwich City in March. But here, I feel like I need to play a bigger role and step it up, the 24-year-old said of Japan after they booked their fth straight ticket to the World Cup with a hardfought 1-1 draw with Australia at home on Tuesday. I havent done the job yet with the national team. Ive got to be more responsible, he added, according to Kyodo news agency. These are some of the things I need to keep in mind throughout the year ahead, starting at the Confederations Cup. Japan are bunched with hosts and vetime World Cup champions Brazil, four-time winners Italy and Olympic gold medallists Mexico in Group A at the tournament in Brazil, opening on June 15. Kagawa has scored just three goals for Japan in the past year, including two in the nal World Cup qualifying round and another in a surprise 1-0 friendly win away to France last October. CSKA Moscow dynamo Keisuke Honda has scored six goals for the country in the meantime, ve in qualiers, playing in central mideld and pushing Kagawa to the left side of the coveted position behind the lone striker. Lack of nishing power Alberto Zaccheronis Blue Samurai, known for tight teamwork but also the lack of nishing power, have struggled in three recent matches, losing to Jordan 2-1 away in a qualier in March and 2-0 to Bulgaria in a home friendly last week. In Japan, we worry too much about what the other thinks. At Manchester, everyone plays for himself and does what he wants but it works out in the end, Kagawa said. Kagawa said he would approach next season with condence as David Moyes takes over from Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager. I need to be more assertive in my second season at Manchester United and if I can be an important part of the club, it will only be a plus for the national team, he said. (AFP) ASIAN ONSLAUGHT
Controversial striker Suarez is Uruguays rebrand saviour

Rio de Janeiro
ambasted in Europe for his attitude on the pitch, Uruguays controversial Liverpool forward Luis Suarez is in contrast seen as the saviour of his country. Fans of the Celeste warm to his goal sense and will to win, which will stand the South Americans in good stead during the Confederations Cup in Brazil. The 26-year-old, nicknamed El Pistolero or the gun-slinger, once again showed his eectiveness and class with a stunning strike in their 1-0 friendly win against France in Montevideo last week. However talented he may be, though, European fans believe Suarez is a player who has often crossed the line when it comes to fair-play. In 2010 in the quarter-nal of the World Cup in South Africa against Ghana, he deliberately stopped a shot with his hand. The strike would have taken the Africans into the semi-nal at the end of extra-time. Suarez was sent o but Ghana then missed the resulting penalty. Uruguay eventually won the match on spot-kicks and went through to the last four. Characteristic cheating Uruguays media lauded Suarez for his handball, applauding his sense of self-sacrice, even as others saw in it characteristic cheating that led to the unfair elimination of Ghana. In 2011, Suarez was suspended for eight matches for using a racial slur towards Manchester Uniteds French defender Patrice Evra. Suarez maintained that the word he used -- negro (black in Spanish) -- did not have racist connotations in his country.
This year, too, Suarez was back in the dock and banned for 10 games after biting Chelseas Branislav Ivanovic on the arm during a match at Stamford Bridge. The incident was headline news in England and even saw Britains Prime Minister David Cameron condemn Suarez for setting a bad example . The firebrand striker has always preferred to respond to his critics on the pitch: unquestionably he is an effective operator, scoring 23 goals for Liverpool last season -- the second-best scoring record in the English Premier League. You can lose some things, but can never lose the slyness, the passion that you have had since you were a kid COPA AMERICA WINNERS
playing in the street, Suarez told AFP in an interview in March. If I didnt have the character that I have today on the pitch, I dont think that I would have become the player that I am today, he added. Former Real Zaragoza, Chelsea and Uruguay midelder Gus Poyet, now manager with English side Brighton explained the diculty in dealing with a player like Suarez. In football, you cant bite your opponent. But you have to take him as he is. If you want him to become a saint, then he wont be the same, he said. Surprise semi-nalists in 2010 In Brazil this month, Suarez will attempt to win another trophy, two years after showing his undoubted class in the Copa America. But he will then have to prove himself even more useful to his country to help them qualify for the World Cup nals next year, with Uruguay currently languishing in sixth in South American qualifying. They are eyeing victory as a breather in their faltering attempts to qualify for the World Cup nals. A return trip to their northern neighbours in 2014 is by no means a certainty for the Celeste , though, as they are having to ght hard to make up lost ground in South American qualication. As it stands, captain Diego Luganos team would not even make the play-os for a place in the nals. Their position -- sixth out of nine -- belies the countrys proud history in the World Cup, having won the competition in 1930 and 1950, the latter notably against next years hosts. They were also surprise semi-nalists in South Africa in 2010. For the traditional warm-up to the big event, Uruguay have been drawn against current world champions and double European championship winners Spain, as well as Africa Cup of Nations holders Nigeria and Oceania champions Tahiti.

The two will again lead Uruguays hunt for goals at the Confederations Cup that begins in Brazil today.
