trucks cabin. Three others died at
the Sultan Hamud Hospital where
they were being treated.
Truck drivers and loaders bur-
ied their two colleagues by the
side of the road in a short and
sombre ceremony.
Witnesses said a police van and
a St Johns ambulance arrived at
the crash scene after about 15
minutes.
Twenty two people were
treated and discharged at the
Sultan Hamud Hospital, while
nine others, among them a child,
were referred to Makindu Level
Five Hospital.
There were conicting reports
about what caused the accident,
with the owners of the truck blam-
ing the bus driver for trying to
overtake while survivors in the
bus accused the driver of the
truck of driving at a high speed
in the middle of the road with full
lights on.
A survivor, Mr Mwanza
Wambua, who worked as a loader
on the bus, said he saw the truck,
which was ferrying clinker from
Mombasa to Nairobi, driving in
the middle of the road and the
driver appeared not be in control
of the vehicle.
The (bus) driver was told by
the conductor, who was seating
next to him, to swerve to the bush
o the tarmac, as it appeared
the driver of the truck would
not give way, and in a matter of
seconds there was a loud bang,
Mr Wambua said. He sustained
facial and leg injuries and was part
of the group that was treated and
discharged but the Nation team
found him at the Sultan Hamud
Police Station where the wreckage
of the bus had been towed to.
The bus belonging to Ladha
Coach Bus Company was heading
to Mombasa from Kitui when the
accident occurred. The truck was
ferrying clinker, which is used in
the manufacture of cement.
By evening, the truck, which
had been reduced to a shell, was
still partially blocking part of
the busy highway as workers of-
oaded the clinker onto another
truck for onward transportation
to Nairobi.
Witnesses said they were un-
able to rescue the three people
in the truck because the cabin
caught re. The injured driver
and loader died while screaming
for help but nothing could be done

BY NATION

Twenty four people were yes-
terday injured in two separate
accidents that occurred along
the Maai-Mahiu-Naivasha
road.
In the rst accident, at least
20 people were rushed to Ki-
jabe Mission Hospital after
a 62-seater bus they were
travelling in overturned at the
Maai-Mahiu escarpment.
Police sources said the exact
number of all those who were
in the bus and those who
were injured was not imme-
diately clear. Police was yet

In the second one, four peo-
ple were injured and rushed to
the same hospital after a Nai-
robi-bound matatu collided
with a trailer.
Naivasha head of police,
Mr Charles Kortok, said the
accident happened barely
400 metres from the terminus
where the matatu driver had
picked the passengers.
Police suspected that the
trailers breaks failed before
it rammed into another truck,
which hit the matatu.
Majority of the passen-
gers sustained slight injuries
following 4 pm incident, Mr
Kortok said.
The two accidents caused
trac jam along the highway
that connects Nairobi and
Nakuru.
Meanwhile, motorists on the
highway were stuck in a trac
jam for hours at the weekend
following an accident in which
one person was injured.

yaga being ranked at position two
and three respectively.
The report also shows that
Kenyas overall poverty levels have
fallen for the rst time in nearly 10
years, though the drop is slightly. In
Nairobi, for instance, just two in 10
people live in absolute poverty and
cannot aord Sh2,913 per month.
The poorest county still remains
Turkana where 88 per cent of the
people there unable aord Sh1,562
per month. Turkana has been in the
news in the last three days because
four villages have been under siege
following a boundary dispute with
Pokot County (see separate report
on Page 11).
The study titled Exploring
Kenyas Inequality: Pulling Apart
or Pooling Together, shows that the
number of people living in poverty
has now gone down slightly to 45
per cent. This is a drop from the
previous 46 per cent of the people
who were living in poverty before
the 2009 Population and Housing
Census was conducted.
Poverty levels
A socio-economic research ex-
pert at SID, Ms Katindi Sivi-Njonjo,
attributed the slight drop in poverty
levels to the economic growth wit-
nessed in the country over the last
10 years. But she warned that the
drop may not have reected recent
changes in the economy brought
about by the governments move
to revise tax laws.
It is possible the drop is only
in the percentage form but it may
turn out that the actual numbers of
people living in poverty is bigger
given the countrys drastic rise in
population, she said.
According to her, the gains made
in developing roads, Constituency
Development Fund disbursements
and improvement in the supply of
electricity could have contributed
to improved quality of life.
The countrys economic growth
improved steadily to seven per
cent in 2007 before falling after
the aftershocks of that years
post-election violence.
It has since registered some re-
covery and is expected to hit the
regions of six per cent this year.
According to the new study, half
of the people in rural areas are liv-
ing in poverty. But the situation is
better in urban areas where only
three in every 10 people are poor.
This is as a result of the fact
that many of the paying jobs are
in urban areas, in what has been
explaining the rural-urban migra-
tion trend.
Eight in every 10 people are poor
in the poorest counties of Turkana,
Mandera and Wajir providing a
basis for the county governments
to spend a lot of resources to re-
verse the situation. The counties
are ranked 47th, 46th and 45th
respectively. Other counties in the
poorest ve regions include Marsa-
bit (44) and Tana River (43).
Following Nairobi in the rich list
is Kiambu (2), Kirinyaga (3), Nyeri
(4) and Meru (5).
The reports ratings are dif-
ferent from those provided by
the Commission for Revenue Al-
location over the past two years
which rank Kajiado as the richest
county. Kajiado, which neighbours
Nairobi, has now been pushed down
11 places to stand at number 12 in
the new report. It has 38 per cent
of the total population, or four in
every 10, living in poverty.
It was not immediately clear
whether diering methodologies
between the Kenya Bureau of Sta-
tistics report and previous studies
accounts for Kajiados drop in the
wealth rankings.
The incidence of poverty is
higher in the northern and coastal
regions of the country, the report
says. But the incidence of poverty
is signicantly lower in others (re-
gions), especially in Nairobi and the
central region of the country.
The study also shows that much
more resources are needed to move
the residents of rural areas out of
poverty compared to those in
urban areas.
Among counties, the highest
amount of resources needed to
pull poor people out of poverty is
highest in Tana River. The least
resources needed to move poor
people out poverty is in Nairobi.
It shows that Kenyans living
within the same region have
completely different lifestyles
and access to services. Magarini
constituency in Kili county has
84.5 per cent of its population
living in poverty compared with
Rabai constituency in the same
county where only 39 per cent
live in poverty.

Nairobi tops in number of schools
BY NATION REPORTER
The study exposes extreme
inequalities among counties.
In Wajir county, hardly one
in every 100 people can aord
an expenditure of Sh7,200 per
month. Only 2,242 people in
a population of 522,830 can
aord to spend the amount.
The study also exposes
a major gap in access to
education, indicating that
individuals in Nairobi county
have much more access to
learning institutions than
other counties.
Despite development
policies and funds such as free
primary schooling, secondary
schools bursaries and the CDF,
levels of deprivation remain
extremely high in some areas
compared to others.
For instance, the report
says, one quarter of Kenyas
population still has no
education.
Electricity
In electricity provision, only
about a quarter of households
in Kenya use the energy source
for lighting, it says.
The report identifies
geographical location as
a major determinant of
deprivation levels among
Kenyans. Individuals in urban
areas have one and half times
more access to improved
water sources than those in
rural areas.
The report points out an
irony of Narok county that
has the highest proportion
of individuals (80 per cent)
lacking access to improved
sources of water yet it is
among the counties where
many people are living above
the poverty line.
The report also conrms that
paid employment is highest
among people with secondary
education or above. People
with no education are almost
twice as likely to have no work
than people with secondary
education and above, the
report says.
The report shows that
Nairobis Kibra constituency
is not the poorest slum as
often thought; it ranks better
than Mathare and Ruaraka.

T
here is a screaming
schism between the
poor and the rich, sur-
vey data exclusive to the Daily
Nation has shown.
For every Sh1,000 a poor
man spends in a Kenyan
town, for example, a rich
person spends an equivalent
Sh170,000.
The disparities in expendi-
ture are more pronounced in
towns and cities than in the
rural areas, notes the govern-
ment report due to be released
this week.
However, there are also big
disparities between rural and
urban areas in consumption
patterns. Overall, 44.6 per
cent of the rural population
spends Sh1,440 or less com-
pared with only 2.6 per cent
of the urban population.
And 34 per cent of the urban
population spends Sh7,200 or
above compared with only 1.5
per cent in rural areas.
And out of the 47 counties,
there are 12 counties where
over half the population spend
Sh1,440 or less per month,
against a national average of
Sh3,440.
These counties are Kenyas
poorest, and include Turkana,
Wajir, Mandera, Tana River,
Kwale, Marsabit, Samburu,
West Pokot, Busia, Kitui,
Makueni, Kili, Garissa, Bar-
ingo, Elgeyo Marakwet and
Taita Taveta.
On the other hand, some of
the highest spending counties
include Nairobi, Mombasa,
Kiambu, Kisumu, Lamu,
Machakos, Nakuru, Kajiado,
Migori and Kili in a descend-
ing order.
On average, Nairobi
residents spend Sh7,200
per household per month
compared to Wajir where
the average expenditure is
Sh1,300 per household.
Household expenditures
in Kenya average Sh3,440
per month as a national av-
erage but with very glaring
discrepancies between urban
and rural areas, counties and
constituencies.
Households in urban areas
spend three times more than
their counterparts in rural
areas, averaging Sh6,010 per
month against the Sh2,270
spent in rural places.

Turkana is the least edu-
cated county, according to a
new report that has exposed
great disparities in education
levels in the country.
According to the latest edu-
cation gures, people living
in Turkana are seven times
less likely to access second-
ary education than an average
Kenyan.
More than 80 per cent
of the people living in that
county have never stepped
in a classroom, states Pull-
ing Apart or Pooling Together
report, which adds that only
three in every 100 people
in Turkana have secondary
education.
Nairobi, on the other hand,
is the most educated county,
with only 11 in every 100
people lacking any form of
education and more than
half of the population having
secondary and post-secondary
education.
The report depicts Nairo-
bis education status being
very dierent from the least
educated counties.
Individuals in Nairobi
County have 15.4 times
more access to secondary
education or above than those
living Turkana County, says
the report. They also have
2.2 times more access to
secondary education than an
average Kenyan.
Arid and semi-arid coun-
ties Wajir, Garissa, Mandera,
Marsabit, Samburu and Tana
River, in that order after Tur-
kana have the least educated
people, with an average of 70

Rural areas
in dark with
least power
connections
BY NATION REPORTER

Majority of the countrys
population has no access to
basic amenities, a new survey
has shown.
The survey seen by the
Nation ranks North Eastern
counties as the worst hit with
few households having access
to water, electricity, improved
sanitation, housing and fuel.
Even with the rural electri-
cation program initiated by
the Kibaki regime, majority
of households in the rural
areas still do not have access
to power.
The country also lacks access
to safe latrines or toilets which
has led to the pollution of rivers
and the spread of diseases.
Access to toilets
According to the survey, 39
per cent of Kenyans continue
to use uncovered pit latrines,
bucket latrines and bushes to
pass stool. Specically, 17.5 per
cent of Kenyans relieve them-
selves in bushes with Wajir
been noted as the area with the
highest number of people using
unimproved sanitation.
This leaves 61 per cent of
households as having access
to improved waste disposal
modes.
Such improved methods
include connection to a
main sewer, septic tanks and
cesspits, ventilated improved
pit latrines and covered pit
latrines. The unimproved
methods include uncovered
pit latrines, bucket latrines,
bushes among others.
Access to improved modes
of waste disposal in Nairobi
County is 15 times more than
Wajir County.
Fuels used
The survey also found out
that majority of Kenyans64
per centuse primitive fuels
in their households majority
being in the rural setting.
Only 17 percent of house-
holds, mainly in the urban
setting, use traditional fuels,
mostly charcoal. Those who
use the advanced fuels are only
Six per cent, with the type of
cooking fuel being related to
the socio-economic status of
households.
Mandera County has the
highest number94 per cent
of households that use tradi-
tional fuels while Nairobitwo
per centhas the lowest.

Governor under
re for Raila snub
BY NATION
CORRESPONDENTS
Kwale Governor Salim
Mvurya (below) yesterday
came under re for skipping
a campaign rally addressed
by former Prime Minister
Raila Odinga to drum up
support for a Cord can-
didate.
Mr Odinga was in
Shimoni on Saturday to
campaign for the Ford
Kenya candidate Khatib
Mwashetani.
Leading the attack was a
former nominated council-
lor Hassan Chitembe who
grabbed the microphone
from Mr Mwashetani and
told the PM to take action
against the ODM governor
for disrespecting him.
How can the gov-
ernor fail to be here
(Shimoni) when the
ODM party leader and
CORD principals
have come
to support
one of your
leaders for
the by-elec-
tion? he
posed.
But in
his speech,
Mr Odinga
avoided the
controversy
and instead
asked the
Lunga Lunga
electorates to vote for the
Cord candidate saying a
loss would mean he was
losing grip of the Coast
region.
We cannot aord to lose
this seat because doing so
will mean that our coalition
and myself in particular I
am losing my grip of strong-
hold, he said.
According to Mr
Chitembe the governor
should be disciplined for
showing open hostility
against the Ford Kenya
aspirant who is seeking to
recapture his parliamen-
tary seat in the December
2 by-election. His win was
nullied by the court.
Differences between
the governor and two
Kwale leaders Mr
Mwashetani and
Mr Suleiman Dori
(Msambweni MP)
are the reasons
why Mr Mvurya
has taken a back
seat in the Lunga
Lunga by-election
campaigns.
Yesterday,
sources told
the Nation
the two lead-
ers have been
criticising
the governor
for what they
claim is lack
of leader-
ship.

Apologise to
UK, group
tells Uhuru
BY NATION CORRESPONDENT
President Kenyatta has been chal-
lenged to apologise to the British
Government over the ejection of its
envoys from a hotel in Eldoret.
The Institute for Democracy and
Leadership in Africa, a think-tank
working in Africa, yesterday said
the disruption of the meeting by
Uasin Gishu County Deputy Gov-
ernor Daniel Chemno (below) was
illegal.
The President should apolo-
gise to the British Government,
the international community and
to Kenyans over the unfortunate
incident. It portrays Kenya in a bad
light, Executive Director Denise
Kodhe said in a statement.
There are no civilised govern-
ment in the world where diplomats
are forcefully and mercilessly
ejected out of organised forums
by elected leaders of governors
status except in failed states.
Mr Kodhe also asked the
President to tame his Cabinet
secretaries, governors, senators
and MPs, whom he said were
making reckless statements that
would ruin Kenyas relations with
other countries. Cabinet Secretar-
ies are not conducting their aairs
as the Constitution demands but
have become youth-wingers of the
President. He regretted that Jubilee
was taking Kenya back to the dark
old days of dictatorship.

T
he government yes-
terday defended itself
against claims that it
had failed to contain insecu-
rity in the country.
The director of Political
Affairs in the Office of the
President, Mr Joshua Kutuny,
sought to assure Kenyans that
President Uhuru Kenyatta and
Deputy President William Ruto
were doing their best to ensure
Kenyans are safe from internal
and external criminals.
Mr Kutuny said the al-
legations by Cord members
that the government was
insensitive to security chal-
lenges bedevilling Kenyans
were deliberate attempts to
discredit the presidency and
incite Kenyans against a legiti-
mately-elected government.
This is pure propaganda by
the opposition. The claims are
reckless, ill-advised and in bad
faith. Within months after as-
suming oce, the government
has demonstrated not only
willingness but readiness to
tackle the security issues fac-
ing our nation, he said.
Mr Kutuny said the gov-
ernment had also put in place
security measures to protect
citizens and their properties
through a number of ways,
including the installation of
security surveillance devices
in major towns.
These, he said, would ul-
timately reduce not only the
rate of ordinary crimes but also
arrest the numerous threats
posed by Al-Shabaab.
He further said the govern-
ments move to lease some
1,200 vehicles would see police
boost patrols and curb crime
across the country.
Mr Kutuny said the ongoing
police reforms are also part of
the governments wide agenda
to stabilise the country.
He said the Nyumba Kumi
initiative, where Kenyans are
expected to know their neigh-
bours, would enable Kenyans
to be in charge of their own
security.
Criticising government
eorts to end crime does not
alleviate the security chal-
lenges facing this country,
he said.

P
olice in Nyeri are holding a 56-
year-old woman for allegedly
killing her husband using a
kitchen knife and a mallet.
The woman from Soweto village in
Naro Moru, Kieni East, is alleged to
have stabbed her husband, 64, several
times in the neck before hitting him
on the head with the mallet.
The man is said to have arrived
home drunk on Saturday night after
attending a wedding party in Naro
Moru.
According to the mans sister, the
two picked a quarrel after the man
arrived home drunk. Three of the
couples grandchildren were in the
house at the time, she said.
It seems after the quarrel, the
wife went to bed before her husband
joined her. When he fell asleep, the
wife woke up, tip-toed to the kitchen
and picked a knife, which she used
to stab him several times in the neck
before hitting him with a mallet on
the head, she said.
She said the grandchildren were
also at the wedding party and were
to spend the night at their grandpar-
ents house.
She killed him at night, at around
3am or 4am, according to the children.
And in the house there were three
children and one of them came very
early in the morning to our house to
tell the mother what had happened at
the grandparents house, the mans
sister said.
She said the woman later went to
her brother-in-laws house yesterday
morning to report what had hap-
pened.
The woman claimed her husband
had come home drunk and spent the
night outside the house.
She then requested my brother to
accompany her and nd out what had
happened, said the victims sister.
They found the man lying outside
the entrance door covered with a
blanket.

woman is being held at Naro Moru

Teacher held
over pupils
pregnancy

Police in Siakago are holding a
primary school teacher accused of
deling and impregnating a Class
Six pupil in Kiangondu village,
Mbeere North district.
Area police boss Peter Kimani

Primary School was arrested after
a complaint was lodged by a county

The teacher is expected to be
charged in court with deling the
14-year-old girl from Kivue Primary
School, who has since dropped out
of school.
Raised complaint
The childrens department had
raised a complaint that the teacher,
who is married with children, was
colluding with education ocials
to have the issue dropped.
Mr Kimani said the girl had ac-
cused the teacher of continually
deling her and warning her of
dire consequences if she reported
to authorities.
The girl said they rst met when
she was sent to the shop at Kirie
trading centre when the teacher fol-
lowed her and led her into a bush
and deled her.

Sh250m for computers

The government has allocated
Sh250 million for purchase of new

Education Principal Secretary Dr

We have set aside Sh250
million that we are going

We seek to have a level

T
hreats by some teach-
ers to boycott marking
of KCSE and KCPE
exams will not delay the re-
lease of results, the national
examiner has said.
Kenya National Examina-
tions Council Chief Executive
Paul Wasanga yesterday said
they had put in place measures
to ensure the tests are marked
incase examiners allied to
Kenya Union of Post-Primary
Education Teachers (Kuppet)
boycott the exercise.
He refused to outline the
measures but added that a
large number of teachers had
turned up for the exercise that
starts on December 1.
We are not forcing any-
one to mark the exams since
it was a contract signed by
interested parties, said Mr
Wasanga, adding that the
willing teachers had already
reported to marking centres.
Mr Wasanga asked Kuppet
to keep off exam matters,
saying the contracts were
signed by individuals and
not unions.
How sure are you that
those threatening to boycott
the marking are examiners?
he said.
The Chief Executive said
examiners would receive
higher pay this year.
For instance, the basic
fee will range from Sh800
for an ordinary examiner to
Sh30,000 for the KCSE chief
examiners, he said.
Teachers will be paid per
script, with the lowest paid
examiner getting Sh42 and
the highest receiving Sh68.
Each examiner will also
be given return fare depend-
ing on the distance travelled
and Sh150 co-ordination fee
per day.
Kuppet has asked its mem-
bers to boycott the marking
until its demands to increase
rates and scrap tax on pay are
met by the council.
The union also wants pay-
ments made on a weekly basis
and examiners accommoda-
tion and catering improved.
Its rival, Kenya National
Union of Teachers, on the
other hand, has instructed
its members to go ahead and
mark the tests.
There is need for the
markers to shun those out to
jeopardise the examination
process for their own selsh
ends, Chairman Wilson Sos-
sion said.
He claimed Kuppet ocials
had been hired by some politi-
cal mercenaries to disrupt the
marking.
Kuppet does not have
the mandate to negotiate for
teachers as it is a minority
entity that is not represented
in line with the international
labour standards, he said.
Migori County Knut Chair-
man Charles Katege yesterday
said Kuppets call was ill-ad-
vised and uncalled for.
Let us not victimise inno-
cent learners as a result of our
own selsh interests. Marking
of exams is our duty as teach-
ers and we cannot abdicate it,
he said.
Some 5,500 teachers will
mark the Standard Eight
tests as another 11,000 han-
dle Form Four papers in 33
centres across the country.

S
ecurity agents were yesterday
sent to four villages in Turkana
South where raiders have held
over 900 people captive for close to
a week.
Contingents of GSU and regular
police arrived in the region with food
following reports that hundreds of vil-
lagers and a team of security ocers
were going without food and water
following the weeks siege by ban-
dits believed to be ghting to have a
boundary in the area reviewed.
The deputy county commissioner
for Turkana South, Mr Elijah Kodoh,
said that the situation could have been
sparked by the recent release of a map
that revealed the boundary between
West Pokot and Turkana counties. Ac-
cording to the map, River Turkwel has
been placed in Turkana County but
the raiders want the map to show that
the river is in West Pokot.
According to Kainuk Member of the
County Assembly, Mr Nicodemus Eg-
uman, the Kerio Valley Development
Authority wanted to start a sugarcane
plantation along River Turkwel, but
one community was opposed to the
project which the map shows is sup-
posed to be in Turkana County.
By yesterday, Lorogon, Nakwamoru,
Joluk and Kapelbok villages in Tur-
kana South Sub-county were still
under siege from the more than 200
heavily armed raiders. The only mo-
torable road to the area was blocked
after raiders felled trees across it at
various points and dug trenches to
make it impassable.
Speaking to the Nation on phone,
Lorogon Primary School deputy
headteacher Losike Ragai said the
siege began when pupils at his
school were preparing to break for
the December holidays.
He said over 900 people includ-
ing 400 children have been without
food since the siege started.
This is a small hilly area sur-
rounded by forests and the water
supply we depended on was cut,
said Mr Ragai.
He said the six teachers at the
school had 10 litres of water which
they were rationing with each only
allowed a glass a day, adding that
the pupils were starving because the
raiders would not allow them to leave
the institution.

T
he joint agreement
by the Kenya and
Somalia governments
to repatriate about one
million Somali refugees
over the next three years
appears to be based on
two assumptions: one, that
stability has returned to
Somalia; and two, that the
closing down of refugee
camps will reduce threats
posed by terrorist groups.
Both these assumptions
are only partially accurate.
While some parts of Somalia
do experience relative
stability, many parts,
particularly some areas
in central and southern
Somalia, are still heavily
controlled by Al Shabaab.
Moreover, it seems that
the government of President
Hassan Sheikh Mohamud
is already showing signs
of internal rivalries and
corruption allegations,
which are threatening to pull
the country apart just one
year after it was established.
President Hassan has
recently had to deal with
the resignation of Yussur
A. F. Abrar, the rst female
Central Bank governor in
Somalia who took over from
Abdusalam Omer. The latter
was implicated in a recent
UN Monitoring Group
report for diverting funds
from the bank.
The inability of Hassans
government to bring
sanity and transparency
into the public nancial
management system has
far-reaching consequences,
which will further impact
on stability in states across
the country, according to
Abdirazak Fartaag, a former
head of Public Financial
Management in the
former Transition Federal
Government.
Questions are being raised
about whether the recent
commitment of 1.8 billion
euro by the international
community for the
reconstruction of Somalia
will be managed and used
properly, considering that
there is no functioning
oversight body in place.
Moreover, it appears that
the focus of reconstruction
has mainly been on the
capital, Mogadishu, which
leaves other regions under-
funded.
This is partly because
the revenue raised by the
government is negligible
compared to the needs
of the country, and also
because there is no rm
plan to distribute central
government revenue to the
federal states.
Critics of Hassans
government believe that he
has not tried hard enough
to reach out to the regional
governments and to assure
them that national funds
will be equitably distributed.
The acrimony between
the central government and
the regional governments
was most recently
demonstrated in Jubbaland
where government ministers
were turned away from
Kismayu by local leaders.
The repatriation
programme has to recognise
that the refugees will be
facing a situation where not
only the central but even
the regional administrations
are not fully formed, and
that the provision of basic
services is non-existent
in several areas, including
Jubbaland.
Refugees leaving Dadaab
to go to Jubbaland and
other parts of Somalia will
face numerous problems,
including lack of healthcare
and education, which they
get in camps like Dadaab.
So, while there may
appear to be a semblance of
stability in Somalia, public
service provision remains
mainly in the hands of the
private sector and NGOs,
not the government.
In terms of national
security, the country still
faces a huge shortage of
trained police ocers
and soldiers; Amisom
remains the only viable
force that can secure Al
Shabaab-dominated areas.
The absence of state-led
security and the fact that
Amisoms tenure in likely
to end in coming years may
discourage many refugees
from returning home.
Huge disparities in
salaries between the
foreign and national
forces operating both in
Mogadishu and Jubbaland
has also led to a lot of
disaection among the
Somali soldiers and police,
who have been rightfully
complaining about irregular
and insucient stipends
from the government.
This has led to a situation
where trained Somali
soldiers are being lured to
defect to Al-Shabaab, which
promises larger nancial
rewards and recognition.
This month, The Africa
Report suggested that
soldiers trained by the
Kenya Defence Force may
have also defected to Al-
Shabaab.
If these issues are not
resolved by both the central
government and the federal
states, it is likely that
insecurity and instability
will remain a feature of
Somali life in years to come,
making the prospect of
repatriation dicult and
protracted.

Plans to repatriate Somali refugees
premature and not well thought-out
Make the Bungoma
senator poll peaceful
T
he countdown to the Bungoma senate seat
by-election has started and, given the nature
of Kenyas divisive politics, there is a need to
manage the campaigns to ensure political parties
and their supporters are peaceful and fair.
To achieve this, the candidates must advise their
supporters to respect their rivals and not engage
in violence, hate speech and other provocative
actions that could undermine the elections.
Similarly, the contenders must be willing to
accept the voice of the people if the mini-election
is conducted in a free, fair and transparent manner.
Every electoral process must come to an
end at some point and it is incumbent upon
the Independent Electoral and Boundaries
Commission to conduct the forthcoming polls
with the utmost diligence to ensure the will of the
people prevails.
The commission should learn from past mistakes
if it is to rebuild the condence of the public, which
has taken a beating due to the court cases facing
some of its top ocials.
The commission must tighten its procurement
processes, train its sta and voters adequately, and
manage both the campaigns and the counting of
votes in a way that will inspire condence.
Voters, too, should cast ballots based on their
collective interests and ensure the candidate who
wins is the one most suitable for that position.
In the past, voters made choices simply on the
basis of their parties but they should now vote on
the basis of issues and who oers the best possible
solutions.
All the parties in the race should also bear in
mind that their actions today will impact on the
electoral outcomes of the future and they should
do all in their power to avoid the pitfalls that have
cast a pall on Kenyas elections in the past.
Rooting for the Stars
K
enya hosts the Council for East and Central
Africa Football Associations (Cecafa) Senior
Challenge Cup from Wednesday, and the 16-
day event is expecte top produce reworks
The event that will be staged in Nairobi,
Mombasa, Machakos and Kisumu, has attracted 12
nations.
This presents an opportunity for the national
team, Harambee Stars to redeem their regional
image having won the diadem last in 2002. There
have been scepticism after the team failed to rise to
the occasion in the past, and it needs to win back
local fans support and condence.
It will also be a good stage for local players to
stake claim to positions in the team ahead of the
2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualiers that start next
year.
A serene environment in the teams camp devoid
of any side-shows is vital if Harambee Stars is to
produce good results.
It is, therefore, imperative that Football Kenya
Federation pays up the players to enable them
concentrate on the task ahead.
Its good to note that county governments have
come up to support Cecafa and FKF to ensure the
event is successful.

LETS GET IT RIGHT | Michael Meyer
O
f all the lurid stories
surrounding Westgate,
one in particular
sticks with me. Thats the
account of a forensics doctor
who emerged from the still-
smouldering ruins of the mall
and reported seeing bodies of
victims hanging from hooks.
Others had their noses and
ears wrenched o and eyes
gouged out. Some were forced
to write their names in blood
before being slaughtered.
There was only one problem
with this incredible scoop:
it was completely untrue,
according to Kenyan and
international investigators.
That journalists (myself
included) picked up some of
the allegations underscores a
few basic realities.
One is how vulnerable
reporters and editors can be to
sources who spin a story or
lie outright. Another is how
easily even the most sober
professionals can slip into
sensationalism.
This has always been so
in Kenya and elsewhere. But
with Parliament debating a
draconian new media law, the
issue of the balance between
press freedom and social
responsibility has been thrust
into bold relief.
Angered by what it perceives
as biased reporting of its
handling of the Westgate aair,
the government proposes
to enforce journalistic
accountability by regulation.
Critics call it a gag order,
complete with punitive nes
and an ocially appointed
tribunal that would police
infractions of an as-yet-
undened professional code of
ethics.
Rightly, they see this as a
blow to democracy and the
nations standing in the world.
Wrongly, they seem to think
that journalists are innocent of
all charges against them.
The inconvenient truth
seldom reported is that
Kenyan journalism needs
serious reform. Arriving into
the country earlier this year,
I was thrilled to discover how
robustly the nations media
exercises its freedom. Yet
I was equally struck by its
inconsistent quality.
Making the rounds of
leading editors, publishers
and media analysts, I heard
a common refrain. The state
of the media across the
region, they said, could only
be described as poor to
mediocre.
Some complaints were
quibbling: the names of people
and institutions misspelled;
facts inadvertently skewed or
misrepresented; bad writing
and slip-shod organisation of
content.
Others were more
substantive. Managers spoke
of how dicult it is to nd
and keep talent. Too many
communications graduates
come to the newsroom, they
said, not knowing how to
write a story or conduct an
interview, let alone develop the
probing, critical articles that
are the backbone of rst-rate
journalism.
It is not uncommon for
reporters to make up quotes,
even whole stories. Journalists
who publicly crusade against
ocial corruption privately
accept brown envelopes of
cash and write stories from
press releases.
Too many articles are
drawn from a single source,
often unnamed. Too often,
insucient attention is paid
to basic journalistic values:
fairness, balance and accuracy.
Among all the media groups
in Kenya, only The Star has a
news ombudsman an internal
watch-dog for editorial self-
regulation on matters of ethics
and professional conduct.
The consequences show
up on the front pages, quite
literally. One newspaper
recently trumpeted, ICC: Why
America wants Uhuru Jailed.
(Really, it doesnt.) Another
featured a cover photo of UN
Secretary-General Moon.
(His name is Ban.)
Most ran stories (drawn
from a government press
release) about a new
diplomatic initiative that
would repatriate Somali
refugees en masse. In fact,
according to the UN High
Commissioner for Refugees,
the deal covered only a few
who volunteered to go home.
To be fair, no media
anywhere is immune from
such criticisms. And clearly,
Kenyas media gets it more
right than wrong. Case in
point: its crusade against
parliamentary pay raises,
the new media law, and its
unrelenting coverage of
corruption in high places a
testament to the dynamism of
Kenyan journalism.
The question is what to
do. The answer is better self-
regulation the appointment
of in-house ombudsman, strict
enforcement of the Kenya
ethics, more rigorous training
and professional development.
The top-down approach
debated in Parliament will
take Kenya backwards. Africa
is rising. Journalism must rise
with it.

Proposed media law the wrong solution
to a real problem with our journalism
A photo-journalist covering a
news event in Nakuru
O
ur President is under siege. The
siege is not external; not from
the ICC at The Hague, not from
Shabaab terrorists who have laid siege on
all Kenyans, not even from his political
opponents in and out of government.
All these categories are known
factors against which strategies can be
formulated to thwart danger to himself
and his government.
The siege that is threatening to cripple
his administration is closer home, from
his own backyard, the Jubilee alliance,
the vehicle which propelled him to the
presidency.
The legislative arm of government has
put itself in a self-destruct mode. It has
arrogated to itself roles way beyond those
envisaged by the new Constitution.
True the dispensation gives MPs
oversight authority. However, the same
document does not allow them to trample
on everybody else with impunity.
The rst order of business for MPs
when Parliament was convened was to
redene themselves as not state ocers.
The motive was so that their salaries and
other (quite obscene) perks would not be
subjected to public scrutiny.
With one stroke, Parliament had
decided to neuter a constitutional
Commission. The SRC was on its way
to irrelevance. Other constitutional
commissions would come under barrage,
most notably the CIC, which is charged
with overseeing the implementation of the
new dispensation. Today, its chair is still
making noise, but he has been eectively
neutered in the execution of his mandate.
The Judiciary, one of the three arms
of government, has been in the sights of
the legislators lately. Although Kenyans
have issues with the turn of events at the
Judiciary, it is a lack of decorum for MPs
to purport to direct it on how to perform
its mandate.
Why the President is under siege is
that his signature must ratify or not, the
many Bills passed by the Legislature.
Some of them will be good, but most are
puerile. Since his acolytes control both
Houses, they put him in a tight position.
He must juggle between being President
of the nation and appeasing the myriad
competing interests in his alliance.
Indeed, on two occasions, he has
publicly expressed his frustration;
once when he said his hands were tied
over the Revenue Allocation Bill, and
more recently when he publicly berated
Parliament for paralysing government
business by constantly summoning
Cabinet Secretaries over trivia.
Now that Parliament thinks it has
settled who calls the shots in government,
the voracious appetite of MPs has turned
on the very people they feed on, the
citizens. The VAT Bill was ill-conceived.
As Parliament casts the net wider in
crippling real and perceived dissenters,
they risk a rebellion, rst by small
aggrieved interest groups, which could
snowball into a real backlash.
All governments are wary of the media
and civil society. However, the most
sensible maintain a symbiotic relationship
with both, acknowledging that to open
hostilities with either is unproductive.
Parliament has a duty to shield the
President from all hostilities, external or
internal. Ours has chosen to expose him
on all fronts locally. Where it will all end
up depends on when MPs will descend
from their ego-trip.

SELFISH LEADERS. As the majority of Kenyans
to grapple day in day out with the consequences of
the harsh economic times, the leaders continue to
publicly display and live a life of opulence, remarks
Job Momanyi. They have big motorcades and

coming parties, as they clamour for higher salaries
and allowances, while voters starve. Job wishes the

STILL POWERLESS. After Sam Vohya applied
for power connection to his house at Mazeras on
September 6, the power line was immediately
constructed, and he hoped that he was only a few days
away from getting electricity. However, two months
later, his patience is running out as his meter has not
been installed and the long wait continues. He has
visited the Kenya Power oces at Mbaraki, Mombasa,
three times and he was told they have no meters.
Why cant they get them? The reference is No.

THE JOHNS OF GHANA. On the JKs in the
leadership of the Armed Forces, Gerald Gichaba says
that before Joseph Kibwana, Jeremiah Kianga, and
the current Chief of Defence Forces, General Julius
Karangi, there was Jackson Kimeu Mulinge, the second
African to head the military since independence.
But the Ghanaian presidency, he adds, has been
dominated by Johns John Jerry Rawlings, John
Kuuor, John Atta Mills, and John Mahama in that
order. Will Mahama be succeeded by another John?
SIGNS TOO TINY. Why would the Kenya National
Highways Authority (KeNHA) want to spoil a good job
by putting up new signs on Mombasa Road between
the JKIA turno and Athi River that are hardly legible?
asks Jason Nyantino. I dont know if I am the only one
who nds the font too small for a motorist going at
high speed. Besides, the boards are also small and too
low. Why cant KeNHA erect standard-size road signs
like the ones on Thika Superhighway that can be read
at a glance? His contact is jason@medevatv.org.
WHY JOSEPH REFUSED. There can only be one
reason why former Safaricom CEO Michael Joseph did
not donate minibuses to Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards,
following a suggestion by one Dave Tumbula that
he had promised to do it hooliganism, says N. M.
Gatheru. I am convinced that he changed his mind
because of the rowdy behaviour of the fans of both
clubs. What would a rst-time visitor to Kenya have
thought on seeing hordes of looters and stone-
throwing goons on top of a bus emblazoned with the
Safaricom logo?

Have a responsible day, wont you!

U
asin Gishu deputy governor
Daniel Chemos storming
into Sirikwa Hotel, Eldoret,
to stop a meeting because a diplo-
mat from the British High Com-
mission was attending was the
worst picture of intolerance.
I believe there are better chan-
nels to follow when lodging a com-
plaint involving members of the
diplomatic corps.
This issue gave the county and
Kenya a bad name.
The protocol may or may not
have been breached but Mr Chemo
and the leader of majority, Mr
Josphat Lowi, committed a worse
oence by ejecting those attending
the meeting without even giving
them an opportunity to explain its
agenda.
Sirikwa Hotel is a private busi-
ness and the Constitution allows
for freedom of assembly, yet the
deputy saw it t to humiliate the
diplomats in the full glare of cam-
eras.
The fact that we have politicians
heading counties will not take us
far, especially when the said poli-
ticians are sycophants of certain
political kingpins.
Mr Chemo and his ilk are not do-
ing their counties a favour because
acts like these give negative im-
pressions to potential investors.
Intolerance is bad for business
yet business is what our counties
direly need right now. The good
deputy governor should by now
have apologised to his county, if not
to the Kenyan people, for his primi-
tive way of handling the situation.
TITUS N. PALA, Kisumu
In bad taste
The treatment of UK British dip-
lomats and local civil rights groups
in Eldoret was in a bad taste.
Its hard to believe that it is a
mere coincidence, given the current
diplomatic ti between Nairobi and
London.
The move by the Uasin Gishu
deputy governor to storm into
the meeting and condescendingly
order around high level diplomats
was a crude way of solving the
matter.
The mission was political be-
cause it was informed, not by secu-
rity agencies, but by the public and
was not led by a security ocer.
The incident must have been
heard across the globe by now and
will hurt the reputation we have
painstakingly built.
Kenya shouldnt appear to be
smarting after it failed to secure a
deferral of the ICC cases from the
UN Security Council.
The one-year grace period
sought would not have beneted
the accused that much anyway.
There is more to expect from in-
ternational friends away from the
Hague matter.

Frisking passengers at Central police no longer deters crime
Public service vehicles plying the Nairobi-Naivasha
road are routinely required to make a stopover at the
Central police station.
All passengers alight and walk to police ocers
who frisk them using their hands. Security checks are
no longer viewed as inconveniences but necessary
steps aimed at ensuring our individual as well as na-
tional security.
However, the manner in which the police ocers
conduct the checks makes them look like a boring
ritual and unnecessary inconvenience.
First, all the police assigned this important duty do
not have detectors and instead use their hands.
Do these ocers really think criminals are so fool-
ish that they can board upcountry public service
vehicles when they know that they will pass through
Central for a security check?
This could have worked in the rst few days, but
with time, criminals must have studied the trend and
by now know of the routine stopovers at Central.
Thus, no experienced criminal would board a PSV
in town. Instead they board them somewhere along
the way.
If the security checks have to bear fruit, they must
be done randomly on the highway. You cannot help
laughing at such foolishness when you see ocers at
Central conducting their check.

CONTRACEPTION | Move will fuel teenage sex
Clerics oppose plan to
give pupils condoms
BY GALGALO BOCHA
@gallgallo
gbocha@ke.nationmedia.com
R
eligious leaders have op-
posed a proposal by a lobby
that primary school pupils be
issued with contraceptives for pro-
tection against sexually transmitted
diseases and pregnancies.
The Muslim and Christian leaders
who spoke to the Nation criticised
the proposal by the Family Health
Options Kenya, saying it is contrary
to the teachings of both religions.
The group, which deals with repro-
ductive health, wants contraceptives
such as condoms to be introduced in
schools to promote safe sex.
However, the national chairman
of the Inter-Religious Peace Foun-
dation of Kenya, Bishop Joseph
Maisha, argued that the introduction
of contraceptives to school-going
children would fuel teenage sex in
the country.
We will eventually obtain reverse
gains because contraceptives would
promote sex instead of controlling
it and escalate the already wanting
situation, added Bishop Maisha.
The head of Ushindi Baptist
Churches in Kenya instead asked
the Education ministry to review the
current curriculum to incorporate
good virtues, values and morals for
the sake of future generations.
The Kenya Assembly of Ulamaa
and Imams secretary-general, Sheikh
Badru Khamis, shared similar senti-
ments and urged the government to
nd better ways of dealing with teen
sex in the country.
Sheikh Khamis further asked
the government to consult with all
stakeholders, including religious
policies that would protect children
from early sex. The core issue is to
bring up children in an atmosphere
where there are strong family values

Njuri Ncheke attacked us, claim church members
Four members of Full Gospel
Church, including a bishop, were
injured after they were allegedly
attacked by Njuri Ncheke elders at
Lachathurio shrines in Tigania.
Bishop Daniel Laichena and three
others were allegedly attacked by
over 40 elders as they attempted to
rescue their member, who was force-
fully being initiated into the council
on Saturday.
Bishop Laichena said the armed
elders refused to release Mr Justus
Kamai before attacking them.
The captive was set free after
more members of the church joined
the ght and vowed to set the sacred
places alight.
Speaking at Ngundune Police
Station, Mr Kamai said the elders
ambushed him as he tilled his farm
and took him to the shrine.
He claimed he was forced to un-
dergo some rites inside the shrine
and called on police to arrest the
suspects.
They applied some ointment in
my eyes as a rite of passage. I am
a staunch Christian and I am not
ready to be forced to join the elders
council, he said.
Bishop Laichena and three others
who were injured in the fracas were
later treated at Miathene District
Hospital.
Nobody should be forced to join
the elders council. Our aim was to
enquire and secure our faithfuls re-
lease but instead we were attacked.
The law should take its course, said
the bishop.
Tigania West MP David Karithi and
area County Representative Nturibi
Etirikia condemned the incident and
asked police to bring the culprits to
book.
Respect has to prevail between
the church and traditions but no one
should be forcefully initiated into the

Protests as police stop meeting at Mbo-I-Kamiti
Police stopped a meeting by squat-
ters evicted from a farm owned by
Mbo-I-Kamiti Company Ltd, sparking
protests at the weekend.
There was tension as police ordered
the squatters, who had gathered
outside the Twiga Estate in Ruiru,
Kiambu county, to leave.
A stand-o ensued as the squatters
refused to leave insisting that their
meeting had been licensed. However,
Juja MP Francis Munyua intervened
and quelled the tension.
The MP said the group had a right
to meet without undue interference
or harassment from anybody.
A letter from the Police Inspec-
tor Generals oce dated October
28 had authorised the meeting and
instructed the Ruiru divisional police
commander, Mr Isaac Thuranira, to
provide security.
However, another letter issued on
Friday and copied to the leader of the
group, Ms Salome Mwihaki, cancelled
the meeting on security grounds.
Angry squatters confronted Mr
Thuranira demanding to know why
the meeting was cancelled, but the
police commander said he was only
obeying instructions.
Ms Mwihaki said the 4,000 squat-
ters who have since gone to court over
their eviction in December last year
were to prepare a register of those
affected and discuss methods of
pursuing compensation and reset-
tlement.
Three people were shot dead by
police while several policemen were
injured during the violent eviction on
December 24, 2012.
The ownership of the 1,200-acre
land is in dispute but evictees insist
that the land belongs to them.
It was not only wrong, but also
inhuman to evict such a big number
of people without giving them alterna-
tive settlement or time to move their
belongings, said Mr Munyua.
Elsewhere, the government has
been asked to resolve a dispute be-
tween Kagaa Farmers Co-operative
Society and squatters over a 4,000-
acre parcel of land in Kili.
Society chairman Joe Njoroge said
shareholders could not access the land
which they bought in the 1970s after
it was invaded by squatters who have
refused to move.

NAROK
Maa elders deny invading Muthera farm
The Maasai community has dis-
tanced itself from the long-standing
ownership battle of the controversial
Muthera Farm in Mau Narok.
Elders from all the tribes living in
the area had claimed that the Maasai
community was being used wrongly to
cause violence in the area whenever
there were disagreements between
two large families that are ghting
over the farms ownership.
But addressing the press after a
day-long security meeting at the Mau
Narok Police Station, Maasai Council
of Elders Mau Narok division chair-
man Kasaine ole Esho condemned the
recent invasion of the farm by armed
Maasai youth claiming that the young
men were incited by one of the two
families to raid the 4,923acre farm.
The farm is at the centre of a
dispute between the families of late
powerful Cabinet Minister Mbiyu
Koinange and the Mpoe kin that
has managed the farm for the last
two decades. However, during the
meeting at the weekend, the elders
vowed to ensure that none of the eth-
nic groups was used to ght either
of the two families. There are many
farms in the area and Muthera is the
only one that benets locals since it
is leased to both small and large scale
farmers, he said.

A
merica and Britain have been
urged to stop funding Kenyas
Anti-Terrorism Police Unit due
to its human rights record.
Muslims for Human Rights
(Muhuri) and the US-based Open So-
ciety Justice Initiative want the police
unit disbanded to rid the country of
torture and extrajudicial killings.
For other forms of arbitrary
detention, renditions, transfers to
torture and other serious human
rights violations to end, the ATPU
must go, the groups say in a report
presented in New York recently. The
lobby groups claim the government
received a start-up fund of Sh840
million (about US$10 million) from
America to establish the anti-terror
unit in February 2003.
The government has received
some Sh4.2 billion to date from
America but the US has been silent
on accountability and transparency of
the anti-terrorism police, according
to Open Societys the legal ocer
Jonathan Horowitz.
Both the Kenyan and US govern-
ments have not explained how foreign
funding has been used in anti-terror-
ism activities since the initial amount
was given in 2003, he said in a tel-
ephone interview.
The ocer was also disturbed by
the utter secrecy of the UK funding
to the police unit, which he said were
dicult to know because there were
no records.
During the New York visit, Muhuri
peace and security ocer Francis
Auma presented the report to the US
Congress and House of Representa-
tive to press upon their government
to stop funding anti-terrorism activi-
ties in Kenya.
The Mombasa anti-terrorism police
boss Elijah Rop dismissed the allega-
tions that the unit was culpable for
rights violations.
You see, theres freedom of speech
and anybody can say anything any
time but we cannot stop anybody
from saying what they want to say
provided it is within the law of this
country, he said.
On the allegations of funding, he
said: I dont know where US or
UK government comes in because
we dont receive any funds from
them except from the government
of Kenya, he added.
The organisations report was based
on over 40 interviews with victims,
witnesses and other individuals with
knowledge of the anti-terror police
operations. Muhuri demanded inves-
tigations of the police unit, especially
on disappearance and killing of ter-
rorism suspects.

Nyandarua deputy governor
Waithaka Mwangi accused the
Kenyatta, Moi and Kibaki
administrations of failing
to alter the then provincial

Nyahururu town in Nyandarua
district.
He said it was time for

The town, he said, had been
moved from Rift Valley during
President Kenyattas adminis-
tration, making it a confused
town because it was admin-
istratively in Nyandarua but
politically in Laikipia.
Presidents Moi and Kibaki
were unable to decide on the
matter because it required a
constitutional amendment to
change provincial boundaries
to have the town moved, the
deputy governor said.

Now that we dont have
provincial boundaries, I think
the matter can be dealt with
by the National Assembly
because where Nyahururu
should be located is a na-

A
rift in the Orange party in
Kisii County widened with
sub-branch ocials ditching
the partys nominee to support a rival
for the upcoming by-election.
In a show of protest, ODM Boma-
choge Borabu sub-branch ocials
threw their weight behind the UDF
candidate, Mr Josiah Maaga Onkundi,

cember 19. Area ODM Youth League
chairman Geoffrey Gutwa led 20
youth leaders in the walkout.
The ocials drawn from Magenche,
Boochi, Magena, Machoge Masaba

resolved to support a rival because
the party does not consult them when
making vital decisions.
The officials claimed that the
ODM candidate, Mr Peter Kimori,
had also not involved them in his
campaigns.
In a joint statement read on behalf
of the youth league, Mr Gutwa said
the group had decided to support Mr
Onkundi in the by-elections.
As ODM ocials, we have gone
contrary to the partys directive and
have decided to throw our weight

The ocials claimed ODM hand-
picked Mr Kimori without subjecting
him to a nomination, thus discriminat-
ing against others who were interested
in the seat.
There is no democracy in ODM,
its a party which is run like a club,

Ogutu, last Friday also declared that
he would be backing Mr Joel Onyan-
cha of TNA during the by-elections.

to tarmac at least 700 kilo-
metres of roads.
Only 153 kilometres are
tarmacked.
The amount allocated
for repairs was not enough
and the county will have to
source for extra cash.

after inspecting roads in
the county and those link-
ing it to Narok and Nakuru,
Mr Menjo said Bomet will
focus on areas where farm
produce was going to waste
due to diculties in access-
ing markets.
We as a county cannot sit
back and see our produce
going to waste in the name
of bad roads when the trend
can be reversed, he said.
The roads listed for con-
struction and rehabilitation
include the Kiromwok-
Mwangoris road and the
Silibwet-Mugango- Masese-
Kiptagich road.
Also to be rehabili-
tated are Cheptalal-Sotik,
Siomo-Embomos-Chebu-
gen Kusumek-Kapno roads,
CheboleKanusin and Kap-
sangaru and Leketiet roads
among others.
Mr Menjo that roads
which connect the county
with other regions will be
repaired in partnership with
leaders from those areas.
The machines to be used
in the implementation of the
inspected roads, he said,
would be hired from the
National Youth Service.
He claimed that the county
inherited bad roads adding
that the only way that the
agricultural sector could
be revitalised was through

M

could, for the first
time, directly pay
for garbage collection if
the county Finance Bill is

According to the Bill, each
household would be required
to pay Sh200 per month for
garbage collection.
Large supermarkets would
pay Sh50,000 while smaller
ones, factories and hospitals
would be charged Sh20,000
every month.
Go-downs would be charged
Sh30,000 while bars, cafete-
rias and restaurants would be
charged Sh4,000 a month
and grocers Sh1,000 for the
service.
In addition, the county
intends to charge Sh30,000
for removal of every tonne
of debris.
County environment ex-
ecutive Fatma Awale said it
was important for residents
to pay for garbage removal.
The Sh200 fee per household
is aordable, according to the
ocial.
If Mombasa residents want
the town and residential areas
to be kept clean, they must pay
garbage collection fees to the
county, she said.
The county was in dire need
of money to buy more garbage
collection trucks and cleaning
tools, she said.
However, the Kenya
Muslims National Advisory
Council chairman, Sheikh
Juma Ngao, opposed the
proposed fees, arguing that
residents were already over-
burdened by the high cost of
living.
Sheikh Ngao said most of
the residents were poor due
unemployment and it would
be wrong for the county to
burden them further.
However, he supported the
proposed charges for busi-
nesses, arguing they were
prot-making enterprises.
The Council of Imams

garbage fees on households,
provided residents received

Protests as teen pregnancies hit school
Parents have raised the alarm over
cases of teenage pregnancies and early
marriages at a primary school in Kwanza
District of Trans Nzoia County.
Seven pupils at Cherubai primary are
said to be pregnant while ve gave birth
recently.
The ve were KCPE candidates, two
of which sat for the exam while the other
three never turned up, said Mr Moses
Biloli, the schools PTA chairman. Out
of the seven still pregnant, three are in
Class Seven while the other four are in
Class Six.
The revelation angered the parents who
accused the schools administration of
trying to cover up the crime which has
become too rampant at the institution,
with security personnel and some rich
men being blamed for the vice.
Those who are committing these acts
are known people who lure the innocent
girls with money and freebies in exchange
for sex, said Ms Joan Nasimiyu, a peace
and human rights activist.
Assistant County Commissioner
Gabriel Risie said he was not aware of the
issue, but had launched investigations.

F
ormer powerful minister
William ole Ntimama
yesterday criticised
Narok Governor Samuel Tunai,
accusing him of making unilat-
eral decisions without involving
leaders from the county.
Backed by other local lead-
ers, Mr Ntimama criticised Mr
Tunais style of leadership and
recent appointments of county
executives among other issues,
allegations which the governor
denied.
Burning issues
Addressing a meeting at
Oloolaimutia trading centre
in Narok West, Mr Ntimama
said the governor had ignored
several burning issues in the
county and failed to provide
leadership.
The Maasai community and
especially the Purko clan has
been marginalised in public
appointments by the county
government, and instead out-
siders have beneted, said Mr
Ntimama.
He said the fact that he had
quit active politics did not
prevent him from speaking
out on matters aecting the
community.
However, Governor Tunai
dismissed the allegations,
claiming that politicians who
lost in the March 4 General
Election were trying to destabi-
lise the county government.
We have considered merit
and regional balance in all
our appointments. I want to
challenge those who have a
problem to follow the right
channels to seek redress, and
they should also embrace dia-
logue, said Mr Tunai.
He also said Narok was a
cosmopolitan county and all
communities were given an
opportunity to allow equal
representation.
Mr Tunai said that seven
out of 10 county executive
posts were given to members
of Maasai community.
Tunai accused of
sidelining one clan
but county chief
ghts back and
denies allegations
Mr William ole Ntimama:
The Maasai community and

Fresh push to

O
fficials from Kenya
and Uganda have
vowed to implement
a deal to curb conict between
communities living along the
border of the two countries
A joint border commission-
ers delegation, in its bid to
tackle cross-border attacks,
signed an agreement to gov-
ern relations between the two
neighbouring states on how to
handle competition for pas-
ture, marine resources and
control of illegal arms.
The commissioners said
progress made in tackling the
causes of conict between the
border communities was not
sucient.
They also called for con-
tinued cooperation between
the two countries to stem
cross-border violence.
Heads of delegations James
ole Seriani of Kenya and
Mayanja Sadiq of Uganda
said they will ask the presi-
dents of Kenya and Uganda
to resolve disputes that have
stood in the way of sustained
harmonious relations between
the two countries.
We recommend that the
two respective governments
liberalise access to education,
pasture and marine resources,
and engage their communi-
ties in voluntary disarmament
to end all forms of conict
over joint resources, said
Mr Seriani. He said the two
countries, through a joint
disarmament committee,
need to work out modalities
on how to curb proliferation of
arms among the Turkana and
Pokot of Kenya and Karamoja
of Uganda.
Mr Seriani said disar-
mament was important in
tackling the conflict cur-
rently being experienced in
Turkana County.
We must commit ourselves
to the disarmament protocol,
followed by destruction of the
conscated arms in an open
atmosphere, he said.
Mr Sadiq urged law en-
forcement agencies from
Kenya and Uganda to co-
ordinate their patrols to end
smuggling of arms across
borders.
Among issues in the joint
declaration was a resolution
to ask the East Africa Com-
munity to quickly harmonise
their anti-human tracking
laws.

CAIRO, Sunday
E
gypt expelled Turkeys ambas-
sador yesterday and Ankara
downgraded relations in tit-
for-tat moves, further fraying ties that
soured after the July ouster of Islamist
president Mohamed Morsy.
The latest row between the two
US allies came after Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on
Thursday renewed his criticism of the
coup that ousted Morsy and Egypts
continuing crackdown on his Islamist
supporters.
Turkish ocials initially expressed
hope the dierences could be resolved,
but Mr Erdogan appeared unbowed
after the latest spat, saying: I will
never respect those who come to
power after a coup.
Cairo expelled Turkish ambassador
Huseyin Avni Botsali, declared him
persona non grata, downgraded ties
to the level of charge daaires and
elected not to send back its ambas-
sador to Ankara.
The foreign ministry accused Tur-
key of supporting... organisations
seeking to create instability in the
country, a clear reference to Morsys
Muslim Brotherhood movement.
It said Ankara was trying to in-
uence the international community
against Egyptian interests.
Turkey responded by declaring
Egyptian envoy Abderahman Salah
El-Din persona non grata and down-
grading ties with Cairo in line with
the reciprocity principle that forms
the basis of international relations.
The Turkish foreign ministry sum-
moned the Egyptian charge daaires
for an explanation and said Ankara
held Cairos new military-installed
authorities responsible for the cur-
rent tensions.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet
Davutoglu also criticised Egypt for
leaking the decision to expel the
ambassador to the media before
consultations with the envoy were
completed, calling it behaviour that
does not bode well with diplomatic
courtesy.
Diplomatic courtesy is observed
even at times of crises between
countries, he said, adding that the
ambassador would return home at
the earliest opportunity.
Cairo and Ankara had both recalled
their ambassadors after a previous
spat in August. Botsali eventually
returned to Cairo but Egypts envoy
stayed at home.
Egyptian foreign ministry spokes-
man Badr Abdelatty said Erdogans
comments earlier this week were
provocative and amounted to inter-
ference in Egypts internal aairs.
Mr Erdogan said on Thursday: I
applaud Mr Morsys stance against
the judiciary. I respect him. I have
no respect for those who put him
on trial.
Morsy is being tried on charges of
inciting the killing of protesters dur-
ing his turbulent one-year rule but
has told the court he remains Egypts
legitimate president and does not rec-
ognise its authority.
On Saturday, at a rally in northern
Turkey Mr Erdogan held up four
ngers in a sign that has become as-
sociated with Egypts violent dispersal
of Islamist protesters in Cairos Rabaa
al-Adawiya square in August, in which
hundreds of people were killed.
Speaking to reporters, Mr Erdogan
said: We have supported the struggle
for democracy in the world. We never
respect those who do not respect the
peoples sovereign rights.
What matters to us is the strength-
ening of democratic parliamentary
(systems) in the world.
Turkeys Islamist-rooted Justice
and Development Party government
forged an alliance with Morsy after
he won Egypts rst free presidential
election in June 2012.
A year later Morsy was toppled
by the army after mass protests by
opponents who accused him of poor
governance and betraying the 2011
uprising that ousted president Hosni
Mubarak.
Mr Erdogan angered Egyptian
authorities by describing Morsys
July 3 ouster as a coup and caused
further outrage with repeated calls
for his release.
The row escalated in August when
Erdogan condemned the deadly
dispersal of the pro-Morsy protest
camps in Cairo, and later Egypt and
Turkey recalled their ambassadors for
consultations.
Earlier on Saturday, Turkish
President Abdullah Gul sought to
ease tensions, saying: The situa-
tion between Turkey and Egypt is
temporary and conjectural.
Turkey and Egypt are just like two
halves of an apple on the two sides of
the Mediterranean.
Were very sad about whats going
on in Egypt. I hope relations will be
back on track.
Morsys ouster triggered inter-
national condemnation, which
intensied after a crackdown on Is-
lamists led to more than 1,000 deaths
and more than 2,000 arrests.
Washington even suspended part
its annual $1.5 billion military aid to
its long-time ally.
Egypts interior minister Mohamed
Ibrahim on Saturday announced the
arrest of dozens of extremists
connected with deadly attacks and
accused the Brotherhood of nancing
Islamists linked to Al-Qaeda.
The main force behing the Egyptian
coup is the current Vice Prime Minis-
ter and Minister of Defence, General
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

dent Adly Mansour. (AFP)

Somali PM

NATION Correspondent
MOGADISHU, Sunday
Legislators of the Somali Fed-
eral Parliament today received
a document outlining a motion
against the government of Prime
Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon.
Following the distribution of
the document that was endorsed
by 168 MPs, the Speaker of the
Parliament Professor Mohamed
Osman Jawari announced that
the lawmakers were handling an
important issue, which they have
to study for ve days.
The honourable members of
the house are going to debate
the motion seeking a vote of
condence for the government
of Somalia led by Prime Minister
Abdi Farah Shirdon, proclaimed
Speaker Jawari.
He added, The parliament will
debate the proposal on Saturday,
30th of November.
According to the Speaker, 230
MP out of 275 legislators were
present at the session today.
The proceeding, however, was
made cumbersome by a section
of the MPs demanding that the
names of the legislators endors-
ing the motion be attached to the
document.
We are not sure whether
this motion has been prop-
erly endorsed, shouted some
MPs thought to be loyal to PM
Shirdon.
The document was rst passed
on to the leadership of the parlia-
ment on Thursday.
Political insiders believe that the
current crisis is the result of seri-
ous dierences between President
Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud and his
prime minister.
For almost two months rumors
have been circulating, indicating
that President Mohamoud was in
favour of PM Shirdon resigning on

N
igerias President
Goodluck Jonathan
has been given the
all clear to travel after falling
ill while on an ocial visit to
London, his spokesman said
yesterday.
Jonathan was forced to
skip a meeting on Thursday
with an investment advisory
group after the sudden onset
of several abdominal pains,
Mr Reuben Abati said in a
statement.
After a thorough evaluation
of the presidents symptoms,
medically referred to as
acute abdomen, the doctors
concluded that no surgical
intervention was required,
Mr Abati said.
The leader of Africas most
populous country will there-
fore leave Britain on Sunday
and return to Nigerias capital
Abuja, added the statement.
In an earlier statement,
Abati condemned some online
media outlets for suggesting
that President Jonathan had
become ill after binge drink-
ing at a birthday party in the
British capital.
The president turned 56 on
Wednesday.
He said that such outlets,
which operate in the nebu-
lous sphere of cyberspace,
may face legal action for libel
and wilful defamation of the
character and reputation of
the president.
Mr Abati specically singled
out the influential Sahara
Reporters, a US-based blog
that has broken a number of
major stories, including cor-
ruption scandals involving top
Jonathan allies.
No birthday party
was...held for the president
in London and there was
certainly no drinking spree
as Sahara Reporters claimed,
Abati said.
Mr Jonathan assumed the
presidency in 2010 following
the death of his predecessor
Umaru Musa YarAdua.
Mr YarAduas protracted
illness, details of which were
kept from the public, sparked

Bissau police arrest three child trackers
BY TAMBA MATTHEW
Police in Guinea Bissau are
trying to reunite 61 children
with their parents after they
were rescued from three child
trackers.
Police rescued the children
aged between four and 11
including three girls during
a routine patrol, local media
reports said yesterday.
The children were retrieved
at a checkpoint about 100
kilometers from the capital,
Bissau as they were being
smuggled in two trucks to
several Koranic schools or
daaras in Gambia and Sen-
egal.
Sources said many of the
children were sick and feeble
ostensibly due to hunger and
lack of rest at the time of their
rescue last Thursday.
Police inspector Franciso
Ndur Djata told reporters that
the child trackers used the
pretext that they were going to
send the children to a school
that oered free education.
Police sources said the three
child trackers also arrested,
must have got the backing of
village chiefs.
Meanwhile, Unicef ocials
took the children from the
police and are camping them

BAMAKO, Sunday
M
alians voted today in
parliamentary elec-
tions intended to seal
the troubled west African na-
tions return to democracy but
overshadowed by the threat of
Islamist reprisals.
The polls mark Malis first
steps to recovery after it was
plunged into chaos by a military
coup in March last year, and -
nalise a process begun with the
election of its rst post-conict
leader in August.
I wanted to express my joy
at coming to vote, President
Ibrahim Boubacar Keita said
after casting his ballot in the
capital Bamako.
If you had told me a few
months ago that we would be
staging parliamentary elections I
would have thought I was dream-
ing. But this is reality. Mali is
standing on its own two feet and
moving forward, he added.
Some 6.5 million Malians are
eligible to cast ballots for a new
national assembly, with more
than 1,000 candidates running
for 147 seats but turnout
initially looked weak across the
country.
I see... that there are not
many people here the candi-
dates werent able to mobilise
but I hope that in the after-
noon there will be more people,
said Oumou Sawadogo, a voter
at a polling station set up in a
school in the capital Bamako.
In another voting centre, Bou-
bacar Tembely said he had come
to do his civic duty despite
feeling bitter about how little
progress has been made in Mali.
The politicians are all the same.
I left my ballot blank as a protest
to them, he told AFP.
Voting takes place amid
an upsurge in violence by Al-
Qaeda-linked rebels who stalk
the vast northern desert, an
ever-present danger to French
and African troops who are
tasked with providing security
for the election alongside the
Malian army.
Al-Qaeda-linked insurgents
ousted by French and African
troops in January from the north-
ern towns they had occupied last
year resumed their deadly insur-
gency on September 28, after a
lull of several months.
Since then, a dozen civilians
as well as Malian and Chadian
soldiers in the United Nations
MINUSMA peacekeeping mis-
sion have been killed in the
countrys vast desert north
while French security person-
nel were targeted for the rst
time last week.
Much of the worry ahead of
the polls has been focused on
the largely lawless region of
Kidal, occupied for ve months
by ethnic Tuareg separatists until
a ceasere accord signed in June
allowed in the Malian army.
In a grisly reminder for the
West of the ongoing security
crisis, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic
Maghreb (AQIM) on November
2 kidnapped and shot dead two
French radio journalists who had
come to the regional capital, also
called Kidal. (AFP)

A
number of adjectives
have been hurled at the
Commonwealth Heads
of State and Government sum-
mit a week ago in Sri Lanka.
One is apt: ignominious.
The three-day summit was
the second attempt for Sri
Lanka, and especially Presi-
dent Mahindra Rajapaksa, to
demonstrate his country has
finally reversed a spiral of
violence since independence
from Britain in 1948.
After all, the rst attempt in
2011 failed and the gathering
went to Perth, Australia. The
switch occurred because of
concerns the Sri Lankan gov-
ernment wasnt addressing
human rights violations in a
30-year civil war and after.
Its roots is known to all
53 Commonwealth member
nations, most former British
colonies: Conicting interests
of peoples of dierent culture,
languages and pigmentations,
cobbled together as colonies
and then nation by the Brit-
ish imperial machine.
Incidentally, there was
nothing wrong with that.
Colonialism was a histori-
cal inevitability, so was its
demise.
The result of the British cob-
bling together peoples in what
they called CeylonThey mis-
erably failed in the making of
local names sound Britishled
Sinhalese and Tamil peoples
at odds.
The Sinhalese generally
wanted to keep all and the
Tamil demanded all of what
they believed their share of a
cake they all had agreed was
Sri Lanka. Both forgot giving
a little, taking a little, leads to
peaceful co-existence; taking all
and wanting all to war.
Convinced they will never
get anything from Sinhalese-
dominated government in
Colombo, the Tamils decided
to use all means necessary
to get their share, and plausi-
bly more. Nitty-gritty aside,
the Tamil Tigers went on the
prowl. They had formidable
opponents in Colombo.
In all fairness, dierent lead-
ers, Sinhalese and Tamil, would
have preferred and attempted
to seek peaceful solutions. But,
like most leaders of Common-
wealth member nations today
know, thats not easy. Wounds
going to the days of Sir Rich-
ard Drake and colonial ocials
thuggish, to be generous, be-
haviour remain.
Well, Rajapaksa seems to
have read a chapter on British
Imperial pacication atroci-
ties: When the natives dont
toe the line, wipe them out,
men, women, children, cows,
fruit trees et al. Essentially,
thats what hes accused of.
Of course the Tigers returned
the compliments. Lots of blood
owed.
In 2009, the Tigers folded
tails. It was peace in our time,
Rajapaksa style. He would show
it, rst to Commonwealth sis-
ters and brotherstwo billion
worldwide, by presiding over a
Commonwealth summit.
The current issue isnt that
there was a civil war in Sri
Lanka. Its rules on the con-
duct of war since World War
II exist internationally, by law
and accepted by most nations.
Individual and state account-
ability and tting punished are
expected. Rajapaksas admin-
istration, by all accounts isnt
doing much.
It must be a gargantuan
conspiracy for the Amnesty
International, the Human
Rights Watch, the European
Union, The US Department
of State, a United Nations
committee of experts, among
others, to conclude that dur-
ing Rajapaksas, rule actions
not necessary for the conduct
a war, and therefore, criminal,
existed, continue and not a
single person is known, at a
minimum, to have been con-
victed. Numbers dont matter.
A single death due to injustice
does. Yet in its nal commu-
niqu, the summit didnt wag
a nger at Rajapaska. Igno-
miious!

Indonesian vice president
quizzed in corruption case
Indonesian Vice President Boediono
has said he was questioned as a witness by
anti-graft investigators over a controversial
bank bailout, in a case that could prove
problematic for the government ahead of
polls next year. The case centres on a 6.76
trillion rupiah ($584 million) government
bailout of small lender Bank Century at the
onset of the nancial crisis in 2008. The to-
tal amount paid out to save the bank was far
higher than the initial proposal of just 680
billion rupiah, and bailout money was alleg-
edly siphoned o by well-connected deposi-
tors. (AFP)

were 11,420 recorded deaths of children aged
17 years and under. The report, entitled Stolen
Futures: The hidden toll of child casualties in
Syria, analyses data from the beginning of the
conict in March 2011 until August 2013. The
think-tank added that, of the 10,586 children
whose cause of death was recorded, 128 were
killed by chemical weapons. (AFP)

GENEVA, Sunday
I
ran agreed to curb its
nuclear programme in a
breakthrough deal today
that world powers claimed was
the biggest step in decade-long
eorts to deny Tehran an atomic
bomb.
Tehran boasted that the agree-
ment, which oers Iran limited
sanctions relief, recognised its
right to enrich uranium which
it says is for peaceful purposes
but Washington denied the
deal made any such reference.
Israel slammed the deal as
an historic mistake failing to
ensure the Islamic republic could
not acquire nuclear weapons.
The six world powers involved
in the marathon talks however
hailed the preliminary agree-
ment, which seemed unthinkable
only a few months ago and at
least temporarily warded o the
prospect of military escalation.
Today, the United States
together with our close allies
and partners took an important
rst step toward a comprehen-
sive solution that addresses
our concerns with the Islamic
Republic of Irans nuclear pro-
gramme, US President Barack
Obama said.
Under the deal between Iran
and the ve permanent members
of the UN Security Council plus
Germany announced at 3:00 am
Geneva time, Tehran will limit
uranium enrichment the area
that raises most suspicions over
Irans alleged nuclear weapons
drive to low levels.
It will neutralise its entire
stockpile of uranium enriched
to medium 20-per cent puri-
ties close to weapons-grade
within six months, US Sec-
retary of State John Kerry said
in Geneva, where he and other
foreign ministers helped nail
down the deal.
Iran will also not add to
its stockpile of low-enriched
uranium, nor install more cen-
trifuges or commission the Arak
reactor. UN atomic inspectors
will also have additional, un-
precedented access, Mr Kerry
said.
In exchange the deal will af-
ford the Islamic republic some
$7 billion (5.2 billion euros) in
sanctions relief and the powers
promised to impose no new em-
bargo measures for six months
if Tehran sticks by the accord.

Saint Peters bones
on display for rst
time at the Vatican
VATICAN CITY, Sunday
Bones believed to belong
to Saint Peter, one of the
founding fathers of the
Catholic Church, went on
display for the rst time
Sunday, as Pope Francis
held a ceremony to end
the Year of Faith.
Tens of thousands of
pilgrims gathered to catch
a glimpse of the remains,
eight fragments of bone
between two and three
centimetres long displayed
on an ivory bed within a
bronze chest on a pedestal
in St Peters Square.
The chest, given to pope
Paul VI in 1971 and usually
kept in the tiny chapel of
the papal apartments, was
decorated with a carving
of Peter, who was a sher-
man before becoming the
Churchs rst pope, casting
his nets into the sea.
At the start of the solemn
ceremony, Francis prayed
before the chest, bordered
by white and yellow roses,
before blessing the bones
with incense.
The bones have long
been the object of contro-
versy between historians
and archaeologists: they
were rst discovered in a
1940 dig next to an ancient
monument honouring Saint
Peter, but ended up gather-
ing dust in a storage box.
It was not until archaeol-
ogist Margherita Guarducci
discovered grati near the
excavated tomb reading
Petros eni, which could
mean Peter is here, that
she requested tests on the
fragments.
She found they belonged
to a robust man who died
aged between 60 and 70
and had been buried in
a purple, gold-threaded
cloth enough to convince
Paul VI to say in 1968 that
Peters bones had been
identied in a convinc-
ing manner.
With no DNA evidence
to support the find, the
debate over whether they
really do belong to one of
Jesus Christs apostles is
likely to continue. (AFP)

REVENUE | Treasury to raise funds through domestic borrowing besides other measures
BY JOSHUA MASINDE
jmasinde@ke.nationmedia.com
R
oad projects which were left un-
funded during the June budget
have received nancing.
At a meeting on Friday, the Cabinet
approved a supplementary budget of
Sh115.9 billion to cater for additional
recurrent and development expendi-
ture, a chunk of which would fund
roads, electricity, railway and other
key infrastructure projects this -
nancial year.
At least Sh90 billion go to nancing
projects under the control of Kenya
Urban Roads Authority, Kenya Rural
Roads Authority as well as the Rural
Electrication Authority.
The three bodies were left in limbo
as confusion raged on who between
the central and county government
should nance the projects under their
control. As a result, majority of the
works had stalled due to lack of money
and the Cabinets move could unlock
the stalemate.
Speaking in an interview with Na-
tion, the National Treasury secretary,
Mr Henry Rotich said there were
many adjustments to be made, some
of which included allocating cash to
some functions which the county
governments could not take.
Of the Sh115.9 billion, ongoing and
new development projects will gob-
ble up Sh89.7 billion. Sh29.1 billion
would fund projects which had been
carried over from the last nancial
year, Sh16.6 billion in devolved donor
funds as roads, electricity and rail
projects take Sh44 billion.
Strikes
Also budgeted is Sh18 billion
which will be used in regularising
salary payments for teachers, uni-
versity lecturers and health workers
especially after the strikes that took
place early this year.
We had also to reorganise some
items, especially those that are not
likely to take o immediately, Mr Rot-
ich said. Adding that focus would also
be on austerity measures targeting
non-priority expenditure items that
would see the government save over
Sh14 billion.
Initiatives to raise the additional
spending include budgetary ration-
alisation, revenue measures through
recovery of pay-as-you-earn besides
domestic borrowing.
Further, to contain rising wage bill,
the ministry of Devolution and Plan-
ning was directed to stop recruitment
into the public service, freeze salary
and allowance reviews as well as the
creation or reclassication of new
state corporations.
Shifting resources
The focus of the budget is con-
taining non priority and unproductive
recurrent expenditure and shifting
resources to finance development
expenditure to help attain and
maintain a sustainable public debt
level, a Cabinet brief released after
the meeting read in part.
In a notice issued by Mr Rotich, the
government has only spent just a fth
of the cash allocated to development
expenditure, nearly halfway through
the 2013/14 nancial year, begging the
question would the allocated funds be
absorbed by the end of the period?
As at the end of October, a total
of Sh48.5 billion had been used on
development projects by government
ministries out of a vote of Sh258.2
billion.
Allocation could unlock
works which had stalled
due to lack of nances

Roads, rail and electricity
projects get Sh90bn boost

Men busy at work on the Eldoret-Kapsoya estate road which is under construction. The road is one of the Kenya Urban Roads
Authority projects that had been halted due to lack of cash that have received an allocation from the Treasury.
At a meeting on Friday last
week, the Cabinet approved
Sh115.9 billion supplementary
budget to be used as follows:-
1
Works under the control of
the Kenya Urban Roads Au-
thority, Kenya Rural Roads
Authority as well as the Rural
Electrication Authority would
get at least Sh90 billion.
2
Fresh development
projects will be nanced to
the tune of Sh89.7 billion.
3
The government will regu-
larise salaries for teachers,
lecturers and health work-
ers using Sh18 billion.
4
For development projects
that were inherited from
the last nancial year, the
Treasury has planned to spend
Sh29.1 billion.

BY NATION REPORTER
One year after its launch, the
Syokimau train service is mak-
ing losses that are eating into
Kenya Railways Corporations
other revenue streams.
Rising costs and unmatched
revenue needed to run the
Syokimau railway station have
resulted in losses of over Sh50
million per month.
Acting managing director Al-
fred Matheka said it will take at
least four years before the Syoki-
mau train service starts making
money for the business.
Our initial plan was to charge
Sh100 for one-way as a market
price for the train service but
government intervened and the
cost reduced to Sh50 which we
dont receive from the govern-
ment as a subsidy cost, said
Mr Matheka.
The train is also operating far
less than its optimum capacity,
but this is expected to change
after the Imara Daima, Makadara
and Jomo Kenyatta International
Airport railway lines are opened,
he said.
When the service was launched
in November last year, fares were
between Sh100 and Sh120 one-
way for the 18-kilometre journey
that takes about 30 minutes. The
charge is now Sh30 for one-way
ticket between Syokimau and
the central business district
down from the previous Sh50.
A return ticket at peak hours will
now cost you Sh100.
Makadara and Imara Daima
commuter stations are expected
to open doors soon. Construc-
tion of the Jomo Kenyatta

PROBE | Complaints centre on cane poaching and licensing
BY RAMENYA GIBENDI
@ramenyag
rgibendi@ke.nationmedia.com
A
parliamentary committee
may recommend the sack-
ing of Kenya Sugar Board
chief Rosemary Mkok in its report
expected before December 5, the
Nation has learnt.
A source privy to proceedings at
the House committee on Agriculture
said under Mrs Mkoks leadership,
it has emerged that the sugar board
has failed in its mandate.
The team is investigating the cause
of erce competition for cane by mill-
ers in western Kenya, with each rm
accusing the other of raiding its raw
materials.
We are in the nal stages of delib-
erating on the matter and the feeling
is that the Kenya Sugar Board has let
the industry down, said a commit-
tee member who cannot be named
because they are not authorised to
share their deliberations with the
media.
The 29-member team on Agricul-
ture has already taken submissions
from four millers in western Kenya
Mumias, Nzoia, West Kenya and
Butali.
The complain was brought to the
committees attention by petitioners
from Western Development Initiative
Association.
The conduct of KSB came under
sharp focus in the submissions due
to its failure to stamp its authority in
the battle for raw materials. Its award
of licenses to sugar rms that have
no clear cane development formula
was also questioned.
The regulator appeared before the
committee on November 7 and asked
for a week to give its take on the fu-
ture of the sugar industry, clarify the
licensing of Butali Sugar Company
as well as the list of permitted sugar
importers in Kenya.
Casual manner
On Thursday November 14, how-
ever, the KSB failed to honour the
date with the committee without
prior notice, much to the anger of
the members: We are so much con-
cerned by the casual manner in which
KSB is treating the issue, they did
not even inform the committee that
they would not come, said Mr Noor
Mohamed, the teams chairman.
Dogoreti North MP Simba Arati
claimed he was aware Mrs Mkok and
the KSB top brass have no respect
for the MPs mandate hence their
absence without notice.
House team could recommend the
dismissal of Rosemary MKok for
allegedly letting the industry down

Sh42bn plan
on housing
Nairobi County is putting in
place a plan that will see the crea-
tion of new commercial districts
and housing units.
Several estates are set to benet
from the Sh42.5 billion project that
aims at constructing over 80,000
housing units that will accommo-
date about 650,000 people.
We are currently drafting guide-
lines to indicate a mix of users of
the proposed establishments,
said Nairobi County executive
committee member for Lands,
Housing and Physical Planning,
Mr Tom Odongo.
The new commercial zones will
be established in Hurlingham,
Karen, Ruai and along Kiambu
Road. They will comprise of light
industrial units and entertainment
centres geared at creating jobs.
According to Mr Odongo, the
houses would target the low, mid-
dle to upper income earners and
the plan would be implemented
over a period of 10 years from
research to the upgrading of the
entire Eastlands region.
The houses are set to be build on
over 2,000 acres of county govern-
ment land and the project will be
undertaken through public-private
partnerships.
We will, however, rst need to
do some research to nd out the
market uptake of houses in East-
lands, said Mr Odongo.

Sao Paulo, Brazil, Sunday
T
he husks, baked dry and
black in the hot Brazilian
sun, crumble in the hand,
revealing pale green beans. But
those coee beans could go to
waste, as world prices falter.
Its good coffee they
should be drying it and getting
it ready for export, says Celso
Scanavachi, an engineer at the
Coopinhal farm cooperative in
Santo Espiritu do Pinhal, north
of Sao Paulo.
The producer has abandoned
40 per cent of the crop; the retail
price doesnt cover the cost of
harvesting, he says.
Forecasts of record output in
several main coee-producing
countries Brazil, Colombia and
Vietnam have sent the price
of arabica plummeting on world
markets in recent weeks.
Earlier this month in New York,
the price of a pound of coee sank
to $1.01 a seven-year low.
That has hit Brazil the
worlds biggest grower and ex-
porter of coffee hard, with
producers taking home just $95
per 132-pound bag while facing
production costs of over $150
a bag around Santo Espirito do
Pinhal.
Coopinhal boss Daniel Bertelli
blames politicians especially
the administration of former
president Luiz Inacio Lula da
Silva for pushing up salaries
thanks to new labour laws.
The large-scale producers fur-
ther north were able to mechanise
their harvest and produce for
$120 but here the plots are too
small and hilly, Bertelli said.
The producers carry on here
as they dont have any choice but
they are weighed down by debt,
he added.
No money
The nancial problems have
aected quality.
Scanavachi shakes the plants
hard and dozens of little butter-
ies y out.
This parasite would have
disappeared had we sprayed with
insecticide in time but theres not
enough money to buy phytosani-
tary products, says Scanavachi.
According to fertiliser associa-
tion Anda, Brazilian producers
must sell 77 per cent more cof-
fee than they did in 2011 to pay
for a tonne of fertiliser.
Scanavachi picks up some pit-
ted beans, evidence of another
problem producers are having to
battle bark beetles attacking
the crops.
It proliferates among all the
abandoned coee and that will
aect the next harvest, he said.
There is a serious risk of going
back 10 years, to when quality was
mediocre and there was more
(plant) sickness, he added.
Many family-owned opera-
tions will disappear over the next
ve years.
In order to support its 290,000
coee growers, the Brazilian gov-
ernment decided in August to buy
arabica at about $132 a bag, guar-
anteeing a market oor price in
the country. If the market price
stays in the doldrums, the three
million bags concerned will be
bought from producers at $149
each from March.
That is better than the market
price but will still cause problems,
as exporters go up against foreign
producers taking the price falls
on the chin, says Bertelli.
At a recent demonstration,
several cooperatives demanded
government help to manage their
debts via improved banking and
credit facilities.
If the producers were less
strangled by debt, they would
stock their coee and wait for
the price to go back up, says
Bertelli.
Analysts however say they do
not see that happening in the
short-term.
Buoyed by the high prices of
recent years, producers around
the world raced to plant new
crops, while Brazil and Colom-
bia made major investments to
boost productivity. (AFP)
HARD TIMES | Financial problems see pests and disease attack farms as producers cant aord fertilisers and pesticides
Falling coee prices hit Brazil farmers hard
Growers in worlds biggest producer
and exporter stare at the possibility
of the beans going to waste
MAURICIO LIMA | AFP
A farmer selects arabica
coee beans in Brazil.
Arabica prices have
been plummeting for
several weeks now.
The
producer has
abandoned
40 per
cent of the
crop; the
retail price
doesnt cover
the cost of
harvesting.
Celso
Scanavachi
Estimated number of coee grow-
ers in Brazil
290,000
Arabica variety: From October 2013 to
next September, arabica supply will ex-
ceed demand by 4 million bags, says the
International Coee Organisation.
Prices: Since excess supply is likely to
continue into 2014-2015, prices will remain
under pressure, between 90 cents and
$1.20 a pound, says Kona Haque, chief
agricultural commodities analyst with
Macquarie.

Death and Funeral Announcement
Mama Rosa Oningo Owegi
It is exactly one year today since
our ower was plucked from her
earthly dwelling. In as much as we
mourn and miss her greatly, we are
consoled in knowing that she is
resting with our Heavenly Father
where there is no pain, no tears
and no tiredness. Rev. 21:4
Those we love never die, they
remain forever in our hearts even
as they remain in the everlasting
hands of the Almighty God.
Gloria will always be a household
name and will forever be missed by
her parents, Eunice and Kiarie Ndorongo, Brothers Kevin Kamau
and Edwin Mukunga, the wider Ndorongo and Mukunga families
and all she touched in her short life.
John 11:25-26 : Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection
and the life, He who believes in me will live, even
though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me
will never die .."

KENYA CUP RUGBY | Nondies look set to end long wait for diadem since triumphing in 1998
Nondescripts maintain good run
BY AYUMBA AYODI

I
s this the year for Nondescripts to shine?
That is the question doing the rounds as
the Red Lions upheld their superlative
start to the season, crushing visiting Mom-
basa 91-0 in their Kenya Cup match at the
Jamhuri Park showground at the weekend.
The bonus-point victory saw a charging
Nondies cement their third place in Kenya
Cup with 19 points, just one adrift of Strath-
more Leos and champions Nakuru, who also
got o to emphatic bonus-point victories last
weekend.
Nondies started their last two seasons
on the wrong footing. In the 2011/12 sea-
son, they lost their opening three xtures
against Mwamba, Impala and KCB and n-
ished eighth out of 10 teams. In the 2012/13
season, they won their opening match against
Impala before losing the next four matches
against Mwamba, Strathmore, Nakuru and
KCB, and nished seventh out of 12.
Current season
But things are looking up for Nondies in the
current season. They launched their campaign
well, beating Western Bulls 24-18, Impala 22-3
and Homeboyz 49-12 respectively.
Former champions Kenya Harlequin and
Impala hit Homeboyz and KCB 22-16 and
18-0 respectively.
Nondies could be the most successful club
in Kenya Cup with 17 league titles under their
belt. However, the side is yet to hold the tro-
phy since 1998. Skipper, second row Joseph
Wachira, led from the front, scoring a brace
of tries for Nondies as full back Calvins Biko,
open side anker Cedric Odera and number
eight Ben Nyambu drilled two tries each. Le-

four ties to pile pressure on

The International Rugby Board
(IRB) wants some nancial guar-
antees met before Kenya can be
allowed to participate in the 2014
South Africa Vodacom Cup from
February to May. IRB wants an as-
surance to avoid a situation similar
to the one where Namibia Kudus
withdrew from the annual event
mid-way in 2011.
This came out during the IRB
World Rugby Conference in Dublin,
Ireland where Kenya Rugby Union
(KRU) chairman Mwangi Muthee
held talks with South African Rugby
Union (SARU) chiefs. Muthee met
SARU President Oregan Hoskins,
deputy president Mark Alexander
and Chief Executive Ocer Jurie
Roux and IRB Head of Competitions
Mark Egan over the competition that
will feature Northern and Southern
Section.
Muthee said Egan will send a tem-
plate in which KRU is expected to
provide information on how they
intent to fund their stay during the
tournament. Our sponsors must
make some guarantees and South
Africas Western Province is help-
ing us craft a budget, said Muthee.
Kenya will take part in the Southern
Section that will have eight teams.

Kanyi, Filden Sinei and substitute Jeremy
Matata had a try each.
Target
We intend to reach the play-os, said
Nondies coach Kanyi Gitonga. Trophies
are won in May and its a long way to go.
We have done nothing yet since the teams
we have beaten so far are the same ones
we beat last year, Gitonga said.
Leos got their fourth successive bonus-
point victory, edging out the University
of Nairobis Mean Machine 33-3. Mitch
Ochollas Leos were reduced to 13 men
after y half Marvin Sumba was sent
o by centre referee Godwin Karuga
ve minutes into the game after an al-
tercation with a Machine player. Elton
Isiaho, who scored Leos opening try was
also red-carded after an awful tackle on
David Kasamba.
Ken Andola, Frank Wanyama and
Ginton Adongo also scored a try each
for Leos. Andola curled over one conver-
sion and two penalties for Leos win that
saw them stretch their Kenya Cup lead
to 20 points. They had registered bonus
point victories against Eldoret (115-3),
Blak Blad (20-5) and Kisumu (113-0).
Sport
Poor run a
wake-up call
for cricketers
T
he chicken have
come home to
roost and it will
be unsportsmanlike
to blame an outsider
for what can only be
described as a below
par performance at
the ICC World Cup Twenty20 quali-
ers in the United Arab Emirates.
The qualiers were not sprung upon
Kenya. They were aware of them eons
ago, thus three wins in seven games
cannot be average for a team of Kenyas
stature, a team that still has remote
hopes of appearing at the cricket World
Cup for the sixth time on the trot.
Giving a blanket report that Kenya
lost only four matches is comforting,
almost numbing, but if the names of
the teams they lost to are mentioned,
and the margins of losses given, then
you see a demoralised team, a team
without any pride, actually, not a cohe-
sive team but a group of disillusioned
players who need help to re-build their
individual strengths.
The performance at the World T20
qualiers, in which Kenya nished
just above Bermuda and Denmark
in the eight-team group B should
be much more than a wake-up call
for the technical bench, and should
make the parental authority have a
re-look at its short-term strategy and
long-term vision.
Kenya were beaten comprehensively
by Papua New Guinea, Nepal, Nether-
lands with Afghanistan hammering the
last nail in their con while they
scrapped through Bermuda, Scotland
and Denmark as they crashed out of
the two-tier qualication process that
had a lifeline even for the fourth-placed
team in each group. It does not matter
how Cricket Kenya defends the play-
ers or blames them, the writing is on
the scoreboard for the world to see.
The results are in the record books,
to stay forever. No amount of blame,
explanations or excuses will change
anything and the fact of the matter is
that Kenya will miss the ICC World
T20 in Bangladesh.
There have been enough events
from which Cricket Kenya could have
learnt a lesson or two about the teams
strengths and weaknesses and built on
them, but it seems no one was inter-
ested even as the players still harbour
hopes of going to the World Cup in
Australia and New Zealand. If ever
there was a louder wake up call for
Cricket Kenyas technical bench, then
the performance in UAE is it. Ignoring
it will see Kenya sleep their way out of a
cricket league worth writing about.

Retired athletes Daniel Rudisha,
Ben Jipcho and veteran coach Charles
Mukora are among personalities to be
feted during the 2013 Athletics Kenya
(AK) gala that will be held in Eldoret
on Thursday.
AK Nairobi branch chairman, Barnaba
Korir (left), who is coordinating the
event said: We have planned a special
occasion this year to reward our brothers
and sisters who worked hard to bring
Kenya glory in the 1950s, 70s and 80s.
They deserve special recognition con-
sidering their eorts.
World record holder
The senior Rudisha, father of cur-
rent world 800m record holder David
Rudisha, won the country a silver
medal in the 4x400m race at the 1968
Olympic Games Mexico. On his part,
Jipcho clinched a silver in the 3,000m
steeplechase during the 1972 Olympic
Games in Munich, Germany. Athletes
who excelled at the IAAF World Cham-
pionships in Moscow this year, including
3,000m steeplechase champions Ezekiel
Kemboi, Milcah Chemos and 10,000m
bronze medallist Paul Tanui are also
favourites to win awards.
The gala will be preceded by a three-
day seminar during which AK and IAAF
ocials will discuss various subjects in-
cluding taxation, doping and nancial
management.

The 1984 World Rally Cham-
pion, Stig Blomqvist, stormed
into the lead of the Kenya
Airways East African Safari
Classic Rally yesterday as
speed machines crossed back
to Kenya.
After four gruelling stages
covering about 322km of com-
petitive rallying in Kenya and
Tanzania, the Swede reclaimed
the lead he had lost to Kenyan
Ian Duncan on day two.
Duncan ended the day in
second place followed by Ger-
ald Marcy of Belgium and Geo
Bell of South Africa.
The competition is now
becoming tighter and tighter
as the rally wears on, so one is
compelled to push even harder.
We had a trouble free day and
we hope to keep up with the
pace in the next four days,
Blomqvist said.
Only three Kenyans managed
to appear in the top 10. Onkar
Rai was sixth in a Porsche
911 and Mombasa oldie David
Horsey seventh also in a Por-
sche 911.
Rai surprised all at the night
halt in Amboseli after winning
the 87km Parane/Il-Bissel stage
contrary to all expectations. Rai
is being co-driven by the reigning
Kenya champion Baldev Chager
who will drive the Porsche 911 in
the remaining four days.
The competition takes a
break today and teams have a
chance to thoroughly service
their racing machines in time
for tomorrows restart which
takes crews to Kajiado.

runs in a crucial match at the ICC
Academy, Dubai, yesterday.
The defeat pushed Kenya to the
sixth position in group B.
Batting rst after winning the
toss, Afghanistan set a target of
149, with Noor Ali Zadrans contri-
bution of 50 being the best score
for the side. He was supported by
Najibullah Zadran (33) and Karim
Sadiq (30).
Collins Obuya (2/11) and Duncan
Allan (2/8) were Kenyas main wicket
takers. Thomas Odoyo (1/19), Shem
Ngoche (1/27) and Nehemiah Odhia-
mbo (1/33) also got wickets.
Kenya was routed
In reply Kenya was routed for 114
with 10 balls in hand. Rakep Patel
was Kenyas highest runs getter with
half a century, 52 that came o 38
deliveries with two fours and three
sixes. Steve Tikolo (25) and Collins
Obuya (above) who had 12 runs were
the only other Kenyan batsmen who
scored double digit gures.
Samiullah Shenwari was Kenyas
main executioner, taking ve wickets
for 13. Shapoor Zadran (2/21), Mir-
wais Ashraf (2/27) were the other
Afghanistan wicket takers.
Kenya batsmen failed to cope with
Afghanistans sti bowling and tight
elding and lost wickets at a more
regular interval without meaningful
runs showing on the scoreboard. Af-
ghanistan outplayed and outclassed
Kenya in all the departments.
Cricket Kenya must go back to
the drawing board and come up
with winning formula for the team
to regain her lost glory.
World Cup qualiers
Kenya is set to take part in the
2015 World Cup qualiers set for
New Zealand where ten teams will
ght it out for the remaining two
slots reserved for ICC Associate
and aliate members in the World
Cup to be co-hosted by Australia
and New Zealand.
The other two slots have been
lled by Afghanistan and Ireland.
The two teams have also booked
themselves slots in next years
Twenty World Cup in Dubai. Four
teams will be picked in the ongoing
qualiers.
Meanwhile, debutant tailenders
Bilawal Bhatti and Anwar Ali deed a
strong South African bowling attack
to enable Pakistan to post 218 for
nine in the rst one-day international

National volleyball mens
team coach, Gideon Chenje,
has singled out hosts Rwanda
and North African giants
Egypt as Kenyas main chal-
lengers ahead of the World
Championships Group Q
qualiers scheduled to begin
in Rwanda this week.
The team arrived in Ki-
gali yesterday morning, and
is ready to take on hosts
Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi
and Egypt as the race to
qualify for next years World
Championships in Italy gath-
ers pace.
Egypt are always a threat.
They are a powerhouse and
will give us a tough test, said
Chenje.
Besides, we also expect
stiff competition from the
Rwanda whose administrators
have placed special emphasis
in volleyball in recent years
and their fans are a passionate
lot. They also they have a Ken-
yan coach (Paul Bitok) who
knows quite a lot about our af-
fairs and cant be ignored. We
have played the other teams
recently, so the players have
a clue on what challenges to
expect, Chenje noted.
The tournament will be held
in Kigali between November
26 and 30. Besides topseeds
Egypt, the top two teams at
the competition will qualify
for the ultimate stage of the
competition early next year
that will determine which
African teams proceed to
the World Championships
in Italy.
The team will be boosted by
the availability of two foreign
based players, Phillip Maiyo
(Romania) and Mike Chemos
(Japan) for the assignment.

T
housands of English
Premier League follow-
ers in Kenya yesterday
got a rare opportunity to
view and take photos with
the Barclays Premier League
trophy.
The event, held at the Safari
Park Hotel in Nairobi, was or-
ganised by Barclays Bank and
doubled up as fun day for the
organizations customers and
their families.
We are privileged and de-
lighted to be one of the three
countries on the African
continent to host this iconic
trophy during its worldwide
tour. Our fans have taken up
this opportunity to be closer
to the trophy and you can
feel the buzz and excitement
all over the place, Barclays
Bank (Kenya) MD Jeremy
Onyango told Nation Sport
at the event.
The trophy, created by Royal
Jewellers Asprey of London,
weighs 25kg and stands some
76cm tall and 43cm wide. Its
body composition includes a
solid sterling silver gilt.
I am excited to see the
trophy. This exposure has
oered me an opportunity to
work harder on my football
skills as I strive to full my
dream of playing in the EPL,
Justin Musumba, a 16-year-old
student donning a Chelsea
replica jersey said.
The popularity of the tro-
phy and the English Premier
League competition was
evident during this occasion,
as the queue leading to the
tent where the silverware was
heavily guarded stretched
a few hundred metres. The
Barclays Premier League tro-
phy is awarded to the winning
team of the popular annual
10-month English top league
season, whose supporters in
Kenya are numerous.
Manchester United are the
current holders of the trophy.
The league has attracted some
of the biggest stars in the world,
including Wayne Rooney, Luis
Suarez, Yaya Toure, John Obi
Mikel and Kenya captain Victor
Wanyama.
He (Wanyama) is doing well
in the EPL, which is fantastic
because this is certain to open
more opportunities for Kenyan
players Awori added.
The trophy tour continues
today across various venues
in Nairobi accompanied by
former Chelsea captain and
France defender Marcel
Desailly who arrived in the
country yesterday.

Two Football Kenya Federa-
tion ocials are caught up in a
behind-the-scenes tag-of-war
over which teams to enter in
the play-os to determine the
two clubs to be promoted to
the Kenyan Premier League
(KPL).
The play-os were sched-
uled to start last Saturday but
the controversy surrounding
who between West Kenya
and Top Fry should play in
the knock-outs has forced
the federation to postpone
the games.
Football Kenya Federation
president, Sam Nyamweya,
has said he will give a ruling
on the stalemate but behind
the scenes is a tough battle be-
tween two federation ocials
favouring dierent teams
Doris Petra, FKFs leagues
and competitions committee
chairperson, has a soft spot
for Top Fry that hails from
the region she represents as an
executive member while Elly
Mukolwe, who is the head of
technical at the federation,
is said to be backing West
Kenya.
There are questions on how
some points were awarded
in the boardroom which has
forced West Kenya to oppose
the qualication of Top Fry.
Nyamweya said that since
there are some pending issues
touching on some of the four
clubs seeking promotion to
the KPL it was paramount
that matters be dealt with
rst before announcing the
date and teams to take part
in the play os.
I will personally give di-
rection on this matter and we
should avoid speculation over
the issue, he added.
In the play os, KRA was
scheduled to take on Posta
Rangers and Top Fry face
Oserian.
The latest cancellation has
thrown the plans into disarray
with the federation now con-
centrating more on the GOtv
East and Central Africa Senior
Challenge Cup that starts on
Wednesday in Nairobi.
The winners of the two play
o matches will qualify for the
2014 Kenyan Premier League
competition.

Uganda Cranes start as favourites
BY ISAAC SWILA

T
he million dollar question that
football pundits are pondering
is whether Uganda Cranes
have the ability to successfully de-
fend their Cecafa Senior Challenge
Cup title in Kenya.
The Cranes, quite simply, have
been the best team in this competi-
tion by history and recent form.
They have won the tournament in
four of the past ve years. Add to
that the fact that Uganda have been
champions a record 13 times and
you begin to appreciate their scary
strength.
Their latest title was won in
Kampala in 2012 when they defeated
Harambee Stars 2-1 in an epic nal.
All their recent achievements have
been conjured up by Scot Bobby
Williamson, who fashioned out a
dreaded team in the region, playing
high-energy football with condence
and nesse and it showed with their
bulging Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup
trophy cabinet.
But Uganda are without Williamson
this time round. Pressure will be on
his successor Serbian tactician Mi-
lutin Micho Sredejovic, who will,
surely, be expected to deliver the
cup and retain Ugandas top status
in the region.
The Cranes ranked 85th in the
world by Fifa the highest in the
Cecafa region will face a stern
test in Group C where they have
been pooled with Rwanda, Sudan
and Eritrea. Sredejovic has been
keeping his cards close to his chest
perhaps feeling the heavy weight of
expecations in Kampala that he will
bring the trophy back.
In lethal striker Hamis Kizza and
skipper Emmanuel Okwi, Sredejovic
boasts of an inuential captain and
deadly nisher who can make the
difference between winning and
losing.
All said, Sredejovics day of reck-
oning is approaching fast with the
regional football showpiece set to
start on Wednesday in Nairobi. Ac-
tion is also expected to be seen in
the counties of Machakos, Kisumu
and Mombasa.
Meanwhile, Cecafa has set aside $
60,000 (about Sh5 million) as prize
money.
According to Cecafa secretary gen-
eral Nicholas Musonye, the winning
teams will pocket $30,000 (Sh2.4 mil-
lion), with the second and third placed
teams taking home $20,000 (Sh1.7
million) and $10,000 (Sh850,000)
respectively.
Almost everything is in place and
the teams have started arriving. I urge
the fans to come out in large numbers
and make this event one of the best we
have ever staged, Musonye added.

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE | AVBs charges succumb to a six-goal loss for rst time since 1996
Man City rearm title credentials
in style with Spurs humiliation
Manchester
M
anchester City reaf-
rmed their Premier
League title creden-
tials in stunning fashion with
a sensational 6-0 demolition
of fellow championship con-
tenders Tottenham Hotspur
yesterday.
Jesus Navas exploited a
blunder from Spurs goalkeeper
Hugo Lloris to give City the
lead after just 14 seconds,
with a Sandro own goal and a
Sergio Aguero strike putting
Manuel Pellegrinis side 3-0
up at half-time.
Aguero and Alvaro Negredo
struck early in the second half
before Navas added a sixth in
injury time to complete a
memorable victory that sent
the 2012 champions into the
top four, six points below lead-
ers Arsenal.
City were at ease
Beaten 1-0 at Sunderland
in their previous outing, City
once again looked more at ease
at the Etihad Stadium and have
now won all six of their home
games to date in the league this
season, scoring 26 goals.
Spurs, meanwhile, are
without a win in three games,
having succumbed to defeat
by a six-goal margin for the
rst time in the league since
a 7-1 loss at Newcastle United
in December 1996.
However, although they
trail Arsenal by eight points
in ninth place, they are only
two points below City. City
made five changes to the
team beaten by Sunderland,
with Fernandinho and Navas
coming into mideld, while
Joe Hart started his fth suc-
cessive game on the bench as
Costel Pantilimon continued
in goal.
Spurs manager Andre Vil-
las-Boas made six alterations
to his starting line-up, mean-
while, with record signing Erik
Lamela making his rst league
start in place of England star
Andros Townsend.
First appearance
Lloris was making his rst
club appearance since being
concussed in Spurs 0-0 draw
at Everton earlier this month,
but his return to the starting
XI quickly went awry.
The Frenchman sent a
scued clearance straight to
Aguero and although he saved
the Argentines subsequent
shot, Navas followed up by
brilliantly lofting the ball into
the top-left corner from wide
on the right.
It was the second-fastest
goal of the season to date, fol-
lowing Stoke City goalkeeper
Asmir Begovics freak goal
after 13 seconds against South-
ampton three weeks ago.
Lamela had a shot kicked
o the line by Martin Dem-
ichelis, but City continued to
pour forward, with Lloris sav-
ing from Aguero and Sandro
producing a last-ditch tackle
to thwart Samir Nasri.
Two goals in seven minutes
took the game beyond Spurs,
with Lloris again culpable in
Navas strikes twice

Jose Mourinho is condent he can
carry on getting the best out of Frank
Lampard as the England midelder
nears the end of his career.
At 35, Lampard (right) is the elder
statesman of Mourinhos Chelsea
team but emphasised his worth with
two goals in a comprehensive 3-0 win
at West Ham - his former club - as the
Blues moved up into third place in the
Premier League table yesterday. Lam-
pard had found himself marginalised
when Andre Villas-Boas was in charge
at Stamford Bridge but Mourinho
has made no attempt to phase out a
player who was pivotal to success in
the Special Ones rst spell in charge
at Chelsea, which saw them win the
Premier League title twice before his
abrupt departure in 2007.
Hes in a moment where he has noth-
ing to prove, to you to the fans, to me,
to himself, Mourinho said of Lampard.
He has just to enjoy the last years of
his career, try to play the maximum he
can, try to score because scoring was
always something that was part of his
DNA as a player, and enjoy life, the
Portuguese added. Thats what he has
to do. I think I come to him in the right
moment for him. I was his manager in
the best period of his career and now
I come back with him to enjoy the last
period of his career.

maker Oscar score his sides second
goal at Upton Park, was convinced
Lampard would decide himself when
it was time to quit the top-ight in

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger
believes that Olivier Girouds double
against Southampton confirmed
the France strikers growing con-
dence.
Giroud set his side on course for
a 2-0 victory that moved them four
points clear at the head of the Premier
League table when he dispossessed
Saints goalkeeper Artur Boruc and
scored mid-way through the rst half
of Saturdays game.
The forward then stepped up to con-
vert a late penalty, taking his tally of
goals for the season to seven in the
league and 10 in all competitions.
Other strikers will tell you, I am
not obsessed by scoring goals, but if
they dont, they are sick! It is a relief
on their shoulders, said Wenger.
I believe as well that Olivier didnt
expect himself to score so many from
the start of the season, but it can only
boost his condence.
Wenger added: Olivier is a posi-
tive character who is always ready
for a battle.
He is maybe completely dier-
ent to the rest of the team in that he
gives us so much with his physical
presence, with his link play, which he
has improved tremendously. He has
the mental qualities and a positive
attitude. The win ensured Arsenal
bounced back after suffering the
disappointment of defeat by Man-
chester United immediately before
the international break.
I am convinced that after a break
like that, the character is tested,
Wenger added.
Can you win when you have to
in a season like that, straight away
again after a big defeat to Manchester
United? That was really at stake for
us. (AFP)
Goals make Giroud stronger, says Wenger
the 34th minute. Another poor
kick invited City forward and
although Lloris again saved
from Aguero, Negredo was on
hand to dispatch a volley that
was blocked by Younes Kaboul,
struck Sandro, and rolled into
the net for an own goal.
Four minutes before half-
time it was 3-0, Aguero
tucking away an inviting low
cross from Navas, and the
best Spurs could muster in
response before the break was
a wild eort from Paulinho that

M
Ps have hatched a plot to
abolish the Senate and seats
reserved for women in the
National Assembly in a move they
claim is aimed at cutting costs.
The MPs are also proposing a re-
view of electoral boundaries to cut
down the number of County Assembly
members from 1,450 to about 900.
Also targeted are some 13 consti-
tutional commissions that MPs want
reduced to just three.
The initiative comes as the govern-
ment announced a freeze in hiring
and possible retrenchment after an
evaluation is conducted to determine
the optimal numbers required in pub-
lic service.
In an interview with NTV on
Saturday, Cabinet Secretary for
Devolution and Planning Ms Anne
Waiguru, whose docket handles the
public service, conrmed the freeze
on public service recruitment and
salary reviews.
Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo, who is
also the Deputy Opposition Whip,
is spearheading the move by several
MPs who claim they want to save the
government from nancial collapse
attributed to a choking wage bill cur-
rently standing at Sh458.7 billion.
However, the move comes amidst
supremacy wrangles pitting the Na-
tional Assembly against the Senate
and MPs against Governors.
Yesterday Mr Midiwo said that
though the plan does not neces-
sarily target the County Women
Representatives, there is need to
reduce the number of counties in
the country to only 14.
We need to nd a solution. We have
a constitution whose implementation
will bring this country down in the
next 36 months if we do not take
bold measures to save our country,
Mr Midiwo told the Nation.
The MP further claimed that 60
percent of the county governments
are at the moment struggling to meet
their obligations .
He said that India with a popula-
tion of 1.3 billion only has a bicameral
assembly of 565 members while
Kenya with just about 40 million
has a bicameral representation of
416 legislators.
Speaking during the burial of
former Juja MP George Thuo in
Thika, the Gem MP said the country
cannot aord to fund the 47 county
governments and salaries for nearly
400 members of parliament.
We need to be realistic; the coun-
try cannot sustain the 47 county
governments, senators, the nearly
400 MPs and hundreds of county
assembly members, Mr Midiwo said
and asked President Kenyatta, who
was present, to initiate the review of
the government structure.
Samburu West MP Lati Lelelit
and Suba MP Millie Odhiambo.
Ms Odhiambo said the country
was over-represented and MPs are
concerned.
But, Kakamega Senator Boni
Khalwale sought to dier with those
pushing the idea of doing away with
women representatives saying they
were constitutionally in oce.
The mega problem of huge sala-
ries cannot be sorted by removing
the 47 women representatives, said
the Senator.
The chairman of the Commission
on Administrative of Justice Amollo
Otiende blamed MPs for the bloated
bicameral parliament saying the Com-
mittee of Experts had suggested the
retention of the 210 constituencies
but were overruled by leaders.

in 1966 between Kenya and the US after
writing his memoirs, The Reds and the
Blacks, a tell-it-all book about the political
skullduggery between Jomo Kenyatta and
Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.
Those who knew Attwood, including
his good friend Tom Mboya, were not
surprised. Not only was he a journalist,
having been European editor and later
foreign editor of Look magazine, but his
haters thought he was a churl too.
Attwood had abandoned journalism in
1960 to follow John F. Kennedys campaign
trail, acting as his speechwriter. As a result,
President Kennedy had sent him to Guinea
in 1961 as the US envoy.
Guinea was an exciting station for
Attwood because after the discovery of
bauxite (a quarter of the worlds known
deposits were there), the communists
wanted to make it their number one station
in Africa. Attwood managed to have the
Soviet ambassador, Daniel Solod, expelled,
after which a US-organised consortium took
over the bauxite concession.
After JF Kennedys assassination in
November 1963, the new US President,
Lyndon Johnson, sent Attwood to Kenya in
1964 just as the country became a republic.
Attwood was to watch over the new nation
where politicians were deeply divided by
the Cold War politics.
Kenya was an important destination and
did not disappoint. Attwood was to lay the
framework.
As the US representative when Jomo
Kenyatta was trying to broker peace
during the Congo crisis and for the
release of Western hostages, Attwood had
presented himself as a reliable diplomat.
He would sit under a tree for hours with
Jomo in Gatundu, waiting for the Katanga
rebels Foreign minister, Thomas Kanza,
to arrive. Kenyatta felt betrayed when a
US plane dropped Belgian troops to rescue

INSIDE: When Alfred Mutua dismissed Obama as inexperienced
FREE WITH YOUR DAILY NATION
Edward Clay (Britain): He told o
Kibaki govt over Anglo Leasing scam
Bernd Mutzelburg (Germany): Agitated
for prosecution of corrupt ocials
William Attwood (US): Schemed
around Cold War politics in Kenya
Smith Hempstone (US): Constantly
irritated Moi govt with his opinions
the hostages. The rebels killed
the hostages. Back in Kenya,
Attwood watched as mobs stoned
the US and Belgian embassies,
protesting the intervention in
Congo. From then, he started
collecting intelligence on the
wars between Kenyatta and his
Vice-President Oginga Odinga.
He would occasionally feed
the Kenyatta side with enough
poison against Odinga.
Mboya fell prey to Attwoods
schemes. In 1967, a year after
Odinga had been humiliated out
of Kanu to form Kenya Peoples
Union (KPU), Attwood published
his book and admitted that
the US was behind what had
happened.
Kanu politicians were furious.
It is nothing but cheap Cold War
propaganda and an attempt to
boost Mr Attwoods own personal
ego, said a statement from Kanu.
It is unthinkable that some of
the most serious international
negotiations should have been
regarded by Mr Attwood as
ready copy for a journalistic
pen Are we to assume that
American representatives who
come to Kenya... are here to
collect material for future
bestsellers?
As a start, Vice-President and
Home Aairs minister Daniel
arap Moi banned the book
and later assured Parliament
that Mr Attwood, who had
also purchased land in Kenya,
would not be allowed to return
to Kenya to collect material for
more books, but he could keep
his land.
Kanu referred to Attwoods
book as a betrayal of
confidence and demanded
that the new US ambassador,
Mr Glen Ferguson, make an
apology. Ferguson, aware of
Kenyas importance as a CIA
station, pledged silence for
at least ve years after leaving
Kenya.
Ferguson told the New York
Times that he had been put in a
dicult position and accused
his predecessor of having
violated ethical standards of
diplomacy by rushing into print
with information given to him
in condence. Kenyans wont
trust an American ambassador,
he lamented.
But the US was not alone.
China had earned the wrath of
the government and its embassy
in Nairobi was described by Kanu
as Agent No.1 of subversive
activities.
Again, it had all started with
Attwood, who had told Mboya
about the secret aims of the
communist-funded Lumumba
Institute, which had ostensibly
been training Kanu cadres
in party management and
recruitment. Kenya had started
by deporting two communists
Mr Wang Te-Ming, a spy
who posed as a journalist, and
South African-born teacher,
Hosea Jae.
Foreigners of the Chinese
type should not be allowed to
stay in Kenya and engage in
subversion likely to cause chaos
and division among leaders,
said Kanu in a statement by its
assistant executive ocer, John
OWashika.
On the day that Kanu was
releasing the statement (July 28,
1965), Kenyatta was in Kisumu
with the Soviet ambassador, Mr
V.S Lavrov, laying the foundation
of the Russian-funded New
Nyanza Hospital. The opening
of the hospital, months after
the assassination of Tom
Mboya, would turn chaotic.
Kenyatta detained his former
Vice-President, Oginda Odinga,
and most of his political allies in
KPU after a bitter exchange and
riots in Kisumu.
The 1960s were a diplomatic
nightmare. By lacking a clear-
cut foreign policy, the diplomats
from both East and West tried
to endear themselves to a nation
that publicly stated that it was
non-aligned.
During that period, Russia
decided to donate massive
tanks to the Kenya army. While
James Nyamweya, then minister
of State, told Parliament that
the government rejected the
offer because the tanks were
old, former Attorney-General
Charles Njonjo recently told
this writer that the World War
II tanks could not pass on any
Kenyan bridge. We went to see
them in Mombasa and we could
not allow them in, he said.
During that period, Odinga,
who had asked for the donation,
was accused by Nyamweya
of pulling the country to the
East, while the government
was pulling to the centre.
But another convoy with
arms destined for Uganda was
intercepted in Nyanza in 1965,
causing a diplomatic ruckus
between the two countries.
Ugandan Premier Milton Obote
was forced to y to Nairobi. He
made a full apology for the
incident and promised to deal
with whoever was responsible
for the reckless and illegal
drive across Kenya. The 11-truck
convoy with Chinese weapons
was intercepted at Kamagambo.
Ugandas minister for Internal
Aairs, Felix Onama, said the
next day that the weapons were
travelling from Tanzania when
our chaps decided to take a
short-cut through Kenya.
President Kenyatta described
the movement through Kenya as
an act of criminal folly and a
serious violation of Kenyas
territorial integrity.
With the taming of Oginga
Odinga and the death of Tom
Mboya, the Cold War politics in
Kenya appeared to wane in the
1970s. But the country still found
itself caught up in diplomatic
rows with other nations. The
Ogaden War complicated matters
as Somalia continued with its
expansionist agenda.
While the Russians openly
supported Somalia, the
Americans were eager to support
Ethiopia. As Kenyas Foreign
minister, Dr Munyua Waiyaki,
later recalled, the Americans
were naturally concerned that
the Soviets and Cubans were
in the Horn We asked them to
distinguish between their usual
East/West confrontation and
African problems...
The rise of Idi Amin in
Uganda in 1971 kept diplomats
busy. When five Palestinians
and two Germans hijacked an
Air France Airbus and ew it to
Entebbe with over 100 hostages
in August 1976, Amin sided with
the hijackers, forcing Israeli

commandos to raid Entebbe where
they freed the hostages, killing the
hijackers and 20 Ugandan soldiers.
After the commandos destroyed a
third of the Ugandan air force, Amin
turned his rage on Kenya, which had
allowed the returning Israeli planes to
refuel in Nairobi.
At a rally in Uhuru Park, President
Kenyatta warned Amin, who was
then chairman of the Organisation
of African Unity: We Kenyans shall
defend our country with all our blood
and we shall teach a lesson never to be
forgotten to anyone who tries to play
with our country and government.
Amin gave in after an economic
blockade and as the US silently
stepped in to help.
The big news of 1978 was the
defection of Somalia ambassador
to Kenya, Hussein Haji Dualeh. I
have always tried to convince Siad
Barre that Somalia and Kenya can
co-exist I believe that Barres ego
is such that after the Ogaden, he will
certainly wage another war against
Kenya, said Dualleh after escaping
from Somalia.
After Seychelles President James
Mancham was deposed in 1977, an
attempt to return him to power in 1981
saw the captured mercenary, Martin
Dolichek, implicate Kenyan leaders in
the attempt to overthrow President
France-Albert Ren. The Cabinet
termed the allegations malicious and
unfounded, although it later emerged
during the Charles Njonjo inquiry in
1985 that the Attorney-General was
privy to the coup.
After Moi decided to work with the
West, and after Muammar Gadaffi
was denied a chance to chair the
OAU (forcing Moi into two terms),
the two engaged in conicts that led
to the closure of the Libyan embassy
in Nairobi.
In December 1987, the government
gave the Libyan charg daaires,
Ahmed Arrajel, seven days to leave
the country. After exhaustive
investigations, it has been found
that Kenyas security has been
persistently undermined by the
envoy in total disregard of
normal diplomatic relations,
said a statement.
The expulsion followed
court disclosures that the
Libyan embassy had financed
the Students Organisation of the
Nairobi University (SONU) election
in November, where Wafula Buke had
been elected chairman. Buke was jailed
for ve years for espionage, while some
of his colleagues, including Miguna
Miguna, escaped to exile via Tanzania.
The Libyan mission was also closed.
In 1987, Kenya expelled Ugandan
High Commissioner, Charles Katungi,
and his deputy, S. Bigombe, after a
week of border fighting between
Kenyan police and Ugandas
National Resistance Army soldiers.
Kenya accused Uganda and Libya
of attempting to distabilise the
country. Katungi was accused by
Foreign minister Zachary Onyonka
of insulting President Moi.
The next salvo was a row triggered
by former Nakuru North MP, Koigi
wa Wamwere, after he went into exile
in Norway, joining a small team of
activists stationed in Oslo and other
Scandinavian countries.
President Moi accused the group
of being behind subversive leaets
that were being sent to Kenya. The
Norwegian ambassador, Mr Niels
Vahl, came under pressure to have
the dissidents returned home.
In October and November 1990,
Kenya finally severed diplomatic
relations with Sweden and Norway
for harbouring a number of Kenyans
hostile to the government.
While the Scandinavian countries
were the pioneer supporters of
pro-second liberation movements
for Kenya, the Americans entered
the fray, albeit late, with the arrival
of journalist Smith Hempstone as
the US ambassador. At that time,
Kenyans were agitating for political
pluralism.
As Hempstone helped push the
agenda, and as he would later lament,
the British diplomats in Nairobi were
getting uncomfortable with him. He
said: I was a little suspicious (of
their conduct)the three
British High Commissioners
who were during my time
Sir John Johnson, Sir
Roger Tomskys, Sir Kieran
Prendergast. I suspect they were
always trying to undercut me a bit with
Moi as to suggest my motives were not
good. That was my feeling.
Hempstone would report that he
would meet the UK diplomats and
they would throw the typical line:
Well, we believe in quiet diplomacy,
not in megaphone diplomacy It is as
if I did nothing but shout.
Britain was lucky that Moi retained
his seat. That is how relations with UK
remained steady (but rocky for US).
Had the opposition come to
power, Britains relations might not
have been quite so warm and cosy in
Kenya, Hempstone said.
Some of the US ambassadors
who followed him, such as Madeline
Albright and Johnny Carson, took a
similar pattern. What worried Britain,
and they quietly said as much, was that
they had large investments in Kenya
and their trade with Nairobi was much
larger than that of the US.
Finally, they did not want 40,000
Indians dumped on them if things went
as they did in Uganda I happen to
believe now, as I did then and I told
them so, that I could not understand
their position, said Hempstone after
he left Kenya.
Germanys Bernd Mtzelburg
came to Kenya (his rst posting as
ambassador) as the country prepared
for its rst multi-party election since
1966. For demanding transparency
and prosecution of the corrupt, he
too rubbed the Kanu mandarins the
wrong way.
But it is not only Western diplomats
who found themselves on the receiving
end. In 1995, Kenya expelled Rwandan
envoy, Major Jacques Nziza, and his
replacement, acting charg daaires,
Igiraneza Theodomir, as Moi openly
took sides in the Tutsi-Hutu wars.
Britain chose megaphone
diplomacy later.
Moi called Sir Jeffery James a
meddler when he went to bid him bye.
And when Kanu lost the 2002 election
to Narc and their economic interests
came under check, Edward Clay, the
new British High Commissioner,
caused a major uproar as he pushed
for the prosecution of those involved
in the Anglo Leasing scandal.
The Kibaki government started
looking East and ignored its traditional
allies as China started to seek partners
in Africa.
It is these diplomatic gaes that
shaped Kenyas foreign policy,
somehow.
Had the
Opposition
come to power,
Britains relations
might not have
been quite so warm
and cosy in Kenya.

ORIGIN OF PLACE NAMES
BY MORRIS KIRUGA

Daily Nation
The newspaper was founded by Prince
Karim, the Aga Khan IV, in 1959. Its pred-
ecessor, a Kiswahili weekly called Taifa,
had been founded by Michael Curtis and
Charles Hayes. It was transformed into
todays Taifa Leo in 1960.
The English edition was rst pub-
lished on October 3, 1960, and has
remained the most popular daily on
Kenyan newsstands.
Today, the Nation Media Group runs
11 newspapers in the East Africa. Its
most recent paper, Nairobi News, hit the
streets last week on November 20.
Taifa Leo
Taifa Leo is the only daily published
in Kiswahili in Kenya. It is the oldest
publication in the Nation Media Group
stable. Its name literally translates to
the nation today.
The Standard
The Standards predecessor, the Af-
rican Standard, was founded in 1902 by
Parsee migrant Alibhai Mulla Jeevanjee.
Jeevanjee then sold the paper to British
businessmen in 1905. Its new owners,
Mayer and Anderson, renamed it the
East African Standard, and then moved
its headquarters from Mombasa to Nai-
robi in 1910.
The paper was bought by the Lonrho
Group in 1963. Its name changed to The
Standard in 1977. It was later reverted
to East African Standard. The paper
was sold to local investors in 1995 and
changed back to The Standard in 2004.
At one time, The Standard Group
published Baraza, a Kiswahili paper.
The Star
This daily paper was launched in 2007
as the Nairobi Star by Radio Africa. The
Star rst circulated exclusively in Nairobi,
and it initially didnt have weekend edi-
tions. It has now expanded and it is dis-
tributed to other parts of the country.
The People
The People was rst a weekly publica-
tion owned by opposition politician Ken-
neth Matiba. It became a daily in 1998.
The People was termed as the voice
of the opposition. It carried stories that
the other newspapers did not to publish.
This business model, coupled with other
political power ghts, dragged the pa-
per through the law courts with long
libel cases.
The Matiba family has since sold it to
MediaMax, a company associated with
President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Kenya Times
Kenya Times was founded by the
ruling Kenya African National Union
(KANU) in 1983. It was originally called
Nairobi Times when it was founded in
1977 by Hillary Ngweno as a quality
weekend afternoon paper. It rebranded
as Kenya Times after KANU bought it.
In 1988, Robert Maxwell, the British
publisher of The Mirror, invested in a 45
per cent stake in the paper.
It subsequently became the rst full-
colour newspaper and its popularity
rose between 1988 and 1992.
It had a sister Kiswahili paper, Kenya
Leo. The publications were stopped in
2010.
Weekly Review
Hillary Ngwenos more famous
magazine was The Weekly Review. He
founded the political news journal in
1975. It was the most visible brand in his
publishing company that included other
periodicals such as The Industry Review,
The Financial Review, and Rainbow.
The paper folded in 1999 due to nan-
cial problems.
Nairobi Law Monthly
This monthly magazine was founded
by Gitobu Imanyara in 1987. It formed
the core of his attacks on the Moi gov-
ernment, covering issues of governance
and abuse of the law.
The publication of Nairobi Law
Monthly was also the reason Imanyara
was arrested and detained three times
between 1987 and 1991.
Imanyara was awarded the Inter-
national Editor of the Year Award and
the World Association of Newspapers
Golden Pen of Freedom Award for his
work.
The publication is now owned by
Abdullahi Ahmednasir, a former Law So-
ciety of Kenya chairman and a member
of the Judicial Service Commission.
Kenya Gazette
The Kenya Gazette is the official
government publication. It is published
weekly and contains important infor-
mation on laws, appointments, and
notices.
Copies of the Kenya Gazette dating as
far back as 1906 are available online on
www.Kenyalaw.org.

The political fortunes of Mwingi
North MP Kalonzo Musyoka contin-
ued to rise, with new opinion polls
showing that he was Kenyans top
choice for president.
Some 63 per cent of the pollsters,
done by the Steadman Group, saw
Musyoka as an honest man untainted
by corruption. If the elections were
held then, the poll indicated, Musy-
oka would have romped home with
34 per cent of the vote.
The runner-up would be President
Kibaki with 22 per cent while Kanu
chairman and Leader of the Ocial
Opposition Uhuru Kenyatta would
get only 15 per cent.
Bringing up the rear was the Lib-
eral Democratic Partys Raila Odinga,
who would get 11 per cent, while
Kanu secretary-general William Ruto
and Mvita MP Najib Balala would get
four and one per cent respectively.

The cars included top-of-the-

well as powerful four-wheel-drives
like Nissan Patrols, Toyota Prados

The vehicles returned caused a

Fifty cars were taken to the Treas-

Uhuru accuses
Moi, Kibaki
BY FRED OLUOCH
foluoch@ke.nationmedia.com
A
s Kenyans debate the
two laws that will have
a negative impact on
media operations, many
will recall the raid on
the Standard Group seven years
ago, which remains one the worst
attacks on media freedom in recent
times.
Sometime after midnight on 2
March, 2006, armed and hooded
people raided the groups offices
at I&M Bank Towers in Nairobi as
well as the printing press on Likoni
Road.
The raiders who were later
identied as police ocers led by
shadowy Armenian brothers, Artur
Margaryan and Artur Sargasyan
destroyed broadcasting equipment
which, consequently, put KTN o air,
conscated broadcasting equipment,
and detained and harassed the
journalists who were on duty.
At Likoni Road, they broke down
doors to access the printing press
and seized items from the premises
before setting the days issue of The
Standard newspaper on re. Internal
Security minister John Michuki
later said the Standard Group was
raided because they were planning
to publish and broadcast a series of
stories that were damaging to the
government and would compromise
national security.
An unapologetic Michuki justied
the raid, saying: If you rattle a snake
(the government) you must be ready
to be bitten by it. Apparently, the raid
was carried out without the knowledge
of then Police Commissioner, Hussein
Ali, who was out of the country at
the time.
The raid shocked the media
fraternity in Kenya because such
a thing was not expected under the
presidency of Mwai Kibaki, who came
to power in 2002 on a platform of
greater democracy and freedom of
speech.
It came soon after The Standard
published a story alleging that Mr
Kalonzo Musyoka then among
the ministers who had been sacked
for opposing the draft constitution
during the 2005 referendum had
secretly met President Kibaki at
State House.
Musyoka had denied the allegation.
But the reason behind the raid was
apparently beyond the alleged Kibaki-
Musyoka secret meeting.
What caused alarm in media
circles was that the raid was led by
foreigners who were widely believed
to be criminals, but who had wormed
their way into the national security
system.
Wearing jewellery, the two
brothers publicly bragged about
their connections with the high and
mighty, telling Kenyans that they
could do nothing about it.
The Artur brothers had raised
political heat, with Mr Raila Odinga,
who rst broke the news about their
presence, insinuating that they
were assassins hired to eliminate
those opposed to Kibakis style of
leadership, while others believed
that they were international drug
dealers.
The Standard Group sued the
government and demanded the
return of its conscated property.
In November 2010, a parliamentary
report unveiled the faces behind the
raid and suggested that President
Kibaki must have either known or
been briefed about it.
According to investigations by both
the Committee on Administration,
National Security, and Local
Authorities, and the Committee on
Administration of Justice and Legal
Aairs, the raid had been facilitated
by Mr Michuki, then director of the
Criminal Investigations Department,
John Kamau, and Stanley Murage,
who was a special adviser to President
Kibaki.
In October this year, the High Court
ruled that the government should
pay the Standard Group Sh5 million
as damages for the raid because it
violated the fundamental rights and
freedoms of the media house.
Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi ruled
that the raid was illegal and unjustied,
saying that the management of the
group was not given an opportunity
to verify any of the items that were
seized from the premises.
She dismissed arguments by the
government that it was using Section
66 of the Penal Code that outlaws
the publication of alarming reports,
arguing that if that was the case, then
the government ought to have applied
Section 119 of the Criminal Procedure
Code that allows the police to obtain
a search warrant.
Section 20 of the repealed Police
Act (Cap 84) allowed the police to
carry out raids without a warrant
in cases where application would
create a delay that could prejudice
investigations.
But this would require the police
to identify themselves, which
the Standard raiders did not.
Furthermore, it was conducted at
night, beyond the legally stipulated
hours for such raids.

Efforts to reconcile warring
communities in Marsabit County
suered a major blow when six MPs
perished in a plane crash.
It was the first time that the
leaders of the three groups, the
Borana, Gabra, and Rendille,
had agreed to sit together and
come up with a comprehensive
peace programme after years of
hostilities.
But it was not to be as the Kenya
Airforce plane carrying them crashed
into a hill, killing all the 14 members
of the peace delegation. The
crash, which was blamed on poor
visibility, left four constituencies
in Marsabit without parliamentary
representatives.
Those who died included the
deputy leader of the Official
Opposition and MP for North Horr,
Dr Bonaya Godana, MP for Saku, Mr
Abdi Sasura, Laisamis MP Mr Titus
Ngoyoni, and Moyales Dr Guracha
Galgallo. Others were Internal
Security assistant minister Mirugi
Kariuki, East Africa Legislative
Assembly member Abdulahi Adan,
district commissioner Peter Kingola,
and Anglican Bishop for Kirinyaga
Diocese William Waqo.
Three of the 17 passengers
survived the crash. They were the
provincial commissioner for Eastern
Province, Mr Patrick Osare, and
Kenya Airforce crew members
Senior Sergeant Isaac Kingori
Mureithi and Senior Private Trevor
Lukwe Mwamuye.
They were pulled out of the
burning wreckage by those who
were waiting for the leaders, but they
suered serious injuries, including
broken limbs and severe burns.
The pilot of the Chinese-built
Y-12 that had taken o from the
Moi Airbase, Eastleigh, for the
one-hour ight, aborted his rst
landing attempt due to heavy fog,
and circled Marsabit town.
His second attempt to land at
the military airstrip proved fatal
as he realised too late that he was
heading for the hill. The plane hit the
hill, broke into two, and burst into
ames. It crashed on a hill known to
local residents as Koa Mbaya (bad
hat), named after a Tanzanian who
used to live there.
The peace talks were to be held at
the Marsabit Pastoral Centre. They
came just a year after the Turbi
massacre, in which 90 people had
been killed in a clash between the
Borana and the Gabra. The ght
was suspected to have also involved
Ethiopian rebels from the Oromo
Liberation Front (OLF).
The crash dealt a major blow to
peace eorts in the area, given that
the communities lived in constant
suspicion of one another.
Dr Godana was from the Gabra
community, which was perceived by
the others as being more Ethiopian
than Kenyan because most of their
brothers live in Ethiopia. The Gabra
often fought with their Borana
cousins and the Rendille. Mr Sasura
and Dr Galgallo were Boranas while
Mr Ngoyoni was a Rendille.

S
enator Barack Obama, who
would later become President
of the United States, made his
rst visit to Kenya as a public
ocial. Obama had previously
visited on two occasions but as a private
citizen, given his Kenyan roots.
During the week-long visit, Obama
gave a lecture at the University of Nairobi
(UoN) in which he criticised the Kenyan
governments inability to ght corruption
and negative ethnicity.
He praised former Ethics and
Governance permanent secretary John
Githongo for exposing the Anglo Leasing
scandal in January of that year.
The world knows John Githongo and
other whistleblowers who are ghting the
insidious corruption that has weakened
Kenya, said the then Illinois senator.
Githongo had alleged that some senior
members of President Kibakis Cabinet
had tried to stop investigations into
the Sh50 billion Anglo Leasing-type
contracts. Those in the spotlight were
Vice-President and minister for Home
Aairs Moody Awori, Head of Public
Service Francis Muthaura, Justice and
Constitutional Aairs minister Kiraitu
Murungi, and his Finance counterpart,
David Mwiraria.
Obamas address at UoN was on
August 28, 2006. His earlier visits had
been in 1986 and 1992.
His comments, however, elicited harsh
reactions from the state. The government
spokesman, Dr Alfred Mutua (now
Machakos governor), dismissed Obama
as an inexperienced young man who
could not teach Kenya how to manage
its affairs. Mutua also said Obama,
whose father was Luo, was caught up
in ethnic politics.
Obama had also been to South Africa,
where he had questioned the Thabo
Mbeki governments slow response to
the Aids crisis, while in Darfur, he lashed
out at ethno-racial violence.
However, pundits had more positive
expectations from Obama. Prof Makau
Mutua said Obama stood a better chance
of becoming the next president of the
US than the oft-touted candidates in
the Democratic Party, senators Hillary
Clinton and John Kerry.
This came to pass in the 2008
presidential election when Obama
became the 44th US President.
Prof Mutua also said he hoped that
Obama would use his position in the US
Senates Foreign Relations Committee
and his membership in the sub-committee
on African Aairs to positively inuence
US foreign policy towards Africa.
Politics aside, Obama had received a
hearty welcome from Kenyans when he
arrived on August 24, 2006.
The then Foreign Affairs assistant
minister Moses Wetangula had picked
him and his family from Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport.
He was driven in a convoy of more
than 10 cars escorted by three police
cars. Together with US marines, security
led the Obamas to the Serena Hotels
presidential suite.
Undaunted by the tight security,
Kenyans had lined the streets to get a
glimpse of the man and cheer him.
Three days later, the Obamas would
proceed to his fathers ancestral home
in the tiny village of Nyangoma, Kogelo,
in Siaya county.
Earlier in February, a school built
with the help of the US embassy, on
land owned by Obamas father, had been
renamed Senator Barack Obama.
His fathers grave and a borehole near
the gate were also repaired.
The once-dilapidated Kisumu-Siaya
road heading to Nyangoma Kogelo
was levelled by the Ministry of Roads
and Public Works.
Like his father, Barack Hussein Obama
Senior, the future president had studied
at the prestigious Harvard University.
On August 27, 2006, Obama and his
family, daughters Malia and Sasha and
wife Michelle, had an emotional reunion
with his relatives at Nyangoma Kogelo.
They were accompanied by politicians
Raila Odinga, Prof Anyang Nyongo,
Ayiecho Olweny, Stephen Ondiek, and
Odhiambo Omamba.
His grandmother, Sarah Hussein
Obama, and other relatives fought
back tears as they ushered Obama
into his fathers homestead amid tight
security. Song and dance rent the air and
international and local journalists jostled
for a brieng session.
The Obamas later left after having
visited a non-governmental Aids agency,
Care, which he personally funded to the
tune of $13,000.
After ocial tours to other institutions
such as the Kenya Medical Research
Institute (Kemri), Obama ended his
tour on September 1, 2006.

OBITUARIES FROM 2003
JUNE 30, 2006
Michael Mwendwa Ngilu, the
husband of Kenyas Health minister,
Charity Ngilu, died of diabetes at
the Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape
Town, South Africa. Mr Ngilu, 63,
was one of Kenyas leading engineers
and the founder of Ani-Plastics, a
plumbing-plastics manufacturer. In
his condolence message, President
Kibaki described Mr Ngilu as a
philanthropist whose generosity knew
no bounds. Indeed his generosity
is evident not only in his native
Ukambani, but also around the
country where he has been at the
forefront in building schools and
other public facilities, Kibaki said.
2006
Dr Taaitta Toweett, a former Cabinet
minister, died in a road accident.
He was born in 1925 and attended
Litein Primary School and Kabianga
Mission School. Dr Towett later
joined Alliance High School before
proceeding to Makerere University
College, Uganda. Dr Toweett
completed his PhD in 1977 while
serving as the Education minister in
the Kenyatta government. He lost his
Bureti seat in 1979 and was appointed
chairman of Kenya Literature Bureau.
JUNE 2007
Ramogi Achieng Oneko, the last of
the Kapenguria Six, died and was
buried in his Rarieda home in Bondo.
Born in 1920, Oneko was jailed
together with Jomo Kenyatta, Paul
Ngei, Bildad Kaggia, Kungu Karumba
and Fred Kubai for their role in the
freedom struggle. In 1963, he won
the Nakuru Town Constituency
seat and was appointed Minister
for Information, Broadcasting and
Tourism.
THE ARTS
BY BILL ODIDI
bodidi@yahoo.com
The death of singer and guitarist
D.O Misiani in 2006 brought to an
end a remarkable career that put
Kenyas most popular music genre
on the world map. Misiani stands out
as perhaps the only popular artiste
to have remained true to benga in its
purest form until the end of his life.
Ethnomusicologist Tabu Osusa,
who produced the documentary
Retracing Kenyas Benga Rhythms,
argues that, unlike other musicians of
the era like George Ramogi and Col-
lela Mazee, who were experimental,
Misiani was not musically versatile
and relied on raw talent to play only
what he knew best benga.
He often claimed that the term
benga was adopted from his moth-
ers name, although the aforemen-
tioned documentary shows that the
word was rst used in a 1963 song
by pioneer guitarist John Ogara, long
before Misiani himself started playing
that style of music.
Daniel Owino Misiani was born
on January 22, 1940, in Shirati, near
Musoma, in what was then known as
Tanganyika. He attended Mukoma
Primary School and Ikuzu Secondary
School in Tanzania and completed
his Form Four at Bungoma Second-
ary School in Kenya.
During his school days, he would
lead the choir and could play the
guitar and piano. However, his strict
parents did not approve of his musi-
cal ambitions, and he also faced har-
assment from the authorities, who
destroyed his rst guitar
When he arrived in Nairobi in
1960, Misiani met another young
musician, Daniel Amunga, and to-
gether they formed Kasanga Victoria
Boys Band in 1963. After they went
their separate ways a few years later,
Misiani set up his own band, Shirati
Luo Voice Jazz, and recorded their
rst album on the Sungura record
label in 1972. Later, he changed the
name of the band to D.O 7 Shirati
Jazz Band.
D.O Misiani was the quintessen-
tial protest singer and his legacy is
incomplete without the story of his
witty, often brave songs that never
shied away from the major political
and social issues of the day. Misiani
frequently used the analogy of ani-
mals to make pointed commentaries
on the social and political state of
the country, especially during times
of national crisis.
In 1975, following the assas-
sination of populist politician J.M.
Kariuki, which was widely blamed
on powerful people in the Jomo
Kenyatta Government, he released
a song asking what J.M. had done to
deserve to be killed and compared
the brutal murder to a cat that eats
its own kitten.
It was not just the events in Kenya
that riled Misiani. The tyranny of Idi
Amin in Uganda prompted the singer
to warn the dictator that his time was
up in a song titled Wangni to Iringo
(This time you will ee).
In the aftermath of the 1982 coup
attempt against the government of
Daniel arap Moi, Misiani composed
Piny Owacho, a song in Dholuo
that heaped praise on the Air Force
soldiers who led the mutiny. He was
arrested by police and locked up for
a few days.
He did not spare the Kibaki gov-
ernment either. After Kibaki came to
power in 2003 and failed to honour
a pre-election pact with the political
party led by Raila Odinga, Misiani
recorded a song in Dholuo titled
Bim en Bim, meaning a baboon will
always remain a baboon. Again, the
police arrested the musician and ra-
dio stations that had initially played
the song suddenly shunned it for fear
of reprisals by the authorities.
No charges were preferred against
him. It was dicult to make any
charges stick because he satirised
national events in lyrics that were
never overtly political; instead he
cloaked his messages in proverbs
and imagery. However, those who
listened to his music were left in no
doubt as to what exactly the musi-
cian meant.
The police could only lock him
up in for a few days before releas-
ing him. Sometimes, they banished
him to his original home in northern
Tanzania on allegations that he was
an illegal immigrant.
Misiani grew increasingly disil-
lusioned with the countrys state of
aairs after he realised that even
with the exit of Kanu in 2002, he was
still facing persecution for his music
under the NARC Government. So in
2004, he left Nairobi and returned
home to Shirati. He died in a road
accident near Kisumu on 17 May,
2006, on his way home after a re-
hearsal with his band.
Misiani wrote love and praise
songs for prominent personalities,
but it was his political stance that
his fans went to great lengths to in-
terpret because, as can be expected,
the singer was a master in employ-
ing irony and allegory in masking his
political views.
His songs convey meaning at
a deeper level, writes American
researcher Doug Patterson in the
liner notes for the CD, D.O. Misiani:
The King of History. He would use
a theme such as a verse or parable
in the Bible, a prophecy, or an animal
parable to allow listeners to interpret
the relevant, often political, mean-
ing, he adds.
D.O. Misiani was the only musician
who was consistently a thorn in the
esh of the three regimes in Kenya
from independence to his death. As
he once asked: What is wrong with
singing about what is going on in
our society? If some people are not
happy, I can do very little about it.
Misiani was true to
benga to the end

Distinguished lawyer killed in plane crash
FAST FORWARD: DR BONAYA GODANA
Watch out for another historical gure in next
weeks Fast Forward, Monday, in DN2
STORY BY FRED OLUOCH
ILLUSTRATION BY JOHN

jnyaga@ke.nationmedia.com
A
mong the six MPs
who died in a Kenya
Airforce plane crash in
the Turbi mountains on April
10, 2006, was Dr Bonaya Adhi
Godana, who had made a name
as an intellectual, an eective
diplomat, and an experienced
parliamentarian. He was 54.
Dr Godana and five
other MPs were were on
a mission to secure peace
along the Ethiopian border,
where Kenyans were being
tormeneted by militia groups
suspected to be members of
the Oromo Liberation Front.
Dr Godana was the
Deputy Leader of the Ocial
Opposition and MP for North
Horr in Marsabit County.
Notably, Dr Godana had
escaped death 10 years earlier
after failing to travel on an ill-
fated aircraft.
At that time, he had
surrendered his seat in a
police helicoper to a former
Kirinyaga Anglican Church
assistant bishop, Mr Andrew
Adano Tuye, who died together
with Eastern Provincial
Commissioner Ishmael
Chelanga died when the plane
crashed.
Dr Godana, a lawyer, had
earlier distinguished himself
as one of the most educated
individuals in Marsabit County
and served as Foreign Aairs
minister during the presidency
of Mr Daniel arap Moi.
His biggest challenge
as Foreign Aairs minister
came in February 1999, when
Kenya was forced to hand
over Turkish rebel Abdullah
Ocalan, who had taken refuge
in the country. Dr Godana
had a hard time convincing
the international community
that the Kenyan Government
was unaware that the wanted
fugitive was in the country.
Dr Godana had also
distinguished himself as
defender of his Gabra
community, who are
perennially at war with their
Borana neighbours.
Born in 1952 in Dukana,
Ethiopia, Dr Godana graduated
with a Master of Law degree
from the University of
Nairobi in 1976, and a PhD
in international law from
the University of Geneva in
1984.
He was first elected to
Parliament in 1988 after
resigning from his job as a
senior lecturer at the University
of Nairobis Faculty of Law.

M
y weeklong trip to this
often-forgotten corner
of Kenya after a long
and bumpy ride sees
us in Loiyangalani on
the shores of Lake Turkana, also
known as the Jade Sea.
Loiyangalani, which means a place
of many trees in the local Samburu
language, is a small town on Lake
Turkanas South Coast, where we
made a stopover.
The heat here can reach oppressive
levels, but one gets quick relief,
thanks to the cool breeze and the palm
trees in the surrounding. Besides, the
sincere and warm welcome by the
local people makes one forget the
stiing heat.
Despite its high temperatures
and jaggedness, Loiyangalani gives
visitors to the area a chance to
experience a down-to-earth way of
life in an area that remains largely
unspoilt.
According to the curator of the
Desert Museum, Abdikadir Kurewa,
the town, which was built around a
fresh water oasis, is fast becoming a
tourist attraction despite its remote
location.
A remarkable feature in Loiyangalani
is the Desert Museum, which is built
on top of a hill, with Lake Turkana
providing a breathtaking backdrop.
According to the National Museums
of Kenya director of corporate aairs
Julius Kiriga, the desert museum was
set up in 2008 by then minister of
State for National Heritage and
Culture, Mr William ole Ntimama.
Speaking during an interview with
DN2, Mr Kiriga said the museum was
opened to the public on June 14, 2008
to give visitors a chance to learn more
about the area.
Following the realisation that
this area has a unique culture, the
National Museums of Kenya took it
upon itself to exercise its mandate
of preserving and promoting Kenyas
rich cultural and natural heritage.
Thus the Museums board saw it
t to have a museum erected in the
region, said Mr Kiriga.
Unique traditions
He added that the museum was
established to educate visitors to
the area on the unique traditions
and cultures of the eight communities
living in the area, namely the Samburu,
Turkana, Pokot, Rendille, Gabra,
Watta, Daasanach, and the El Molo.
Indeed, it has a wealth of material
that tells the story and heritage of
these communities.
According to Lion Lepalo, an El
Molo from Loiyangalani, the name
El Molo means the people who eat
sh. Numbering just about 600, the
El Molo face extinction.
Our forefathers labelled us the
people who eat sh because we live
on the shores of Lake Turkana,
says Lepalo, adding that the last
purebred El Molo died last year and
was quite old.
But the museum serves as more
than just a place to educate visitors
on the areas rich history and culture.
For the local people it serves as a
meeting place where elders come
together to settle disputes between
their communities.
The Desert Museum may be
the most remarkable feature in
Loiyangalani, but the town has a lot
more to oer. Other attractions in
the area include Lake Turkana, rock
art, cultural tours, and a trip to the
El Molo shrines in the middle of the
lake, which are still used.
An enjoyable aspect of life in this
region is that it is free of the hustle
and bustle that characterises many of
the countrys urban centres and one
can enjoy relative peace and calm.
With the breathtaking scenic sites
that add to the adventure of travelling
to Kenyas arid north, I can only
describe my trip to this part of the
country as a high-adrenaline aair
that is denitely worth sampling.
Museum in the
desert is high
point of tour
KNOW YOUR TOWN: LOIYANGALANI
Despite the harsh
weather and rugged
landscape, this town
on the south-eastern
shore of Lake Turkana is
certainly worth a visit
Inside the Desert Museum at Loiyangalani: The facility was opened to the public
on June 14, 2008, to give visitors insights into the history and heritage of the eight
communities living around Lake Turkana.

I
n 1963, Malcolm
MacDonald, son of the
first-ever Labour Prime
Minister of Great Britain,
was appointed governor of
Kenya. His task was to bring in
a self-governing constitution
and see the country through
to independence. After
independence on 12 December,
1963, he became governer-
general and subsequently, British
high commissioner.
Meantime, Jomo Kenyatta
triumphed in the elections and
became leader of Kenya.
Malcolm MacDonald left the
post in 1965. He personally
wanted to live in Kenya because
his free-time interest was birds.
He seems to have spent much
of his time photographing birds
all over. After he left Kenya, he
published his book, Birds in
East Africa.
In 1964, my mother visited me
over Christmas for six weeks.
She met all my students before
term broke up.
Then she and I did a gure-
of-eight journey around Kenya
and Tanzania. Somehow, towards
the end of her stay, she got her
handbag containing her passport
hooked out of a window. We
radioed the passport people in
Nairobi, and it was going to take
ages to replace it. Suddenly she
said, Ill go and see Malcolm and
see if he can get one for me.
I said, Who is he? I didnt
know you knew anyone in
Kenya.
Then it all came out and I
did connect things up. When
she was a child, her father and
Malcolms father were friends.
They had both come from
humble backgrounds in the
lowlands of Scotland and had
made their way in London.
The two families had gone
together to the Scottish coast for
holidays once or twice. Mum was
friendly with Malcolms sister
and had often been to visit her
at 10 Downing Street, the home
of British prime ministers, when
her father was prime minister.
Miss Ishbel MacDonald
looked after her father, Ramsey
McDonald, during his period as
prime minister, 1924, 1929-31,
and the coalition of 1931-1935.
Ishbel was a guest at my parents
wedding in 1934 at the old Quaker
Meeting House, Jordans. As the
prime ministers daughter was
there, it was national news.
So I put Mum on the Kisumu
train to Nairobi, and she arranged
to go to Government House. They
must have reminisced about old
times and the long and short of
it was that she got her passport
two weeks later and got her ship
back to Italy, and thence by train
to England as planned.
I was surprised when I got
a letter later that year asking
me to contact the high
commission in Nairobi, as
the governor general would
like me to go for afternoon
tea. I cannot remember any
of it and can only quote from a
letter I found later in a drawer
when clearing up after my mother
had died:
Dear All
Kaimosi TTC
P.O Tiriki
April 23rd 1965
On Wednesday, I went to
Government House at 5pm for
tea with the high commissioner,
the last governor general, the Right
Hon Malcolm MacDonald. He was
small and white-haired and looked
very tired. We sat in comfy chairs
and drank tea and ate biscuits
and he remembered the holidays
with Mum and AT and I told
h i m about a Nandi
ci rcumci si on
ceremony that I had
attended. We talked of
Kenya and her people
and decided that it was
hard to know whether
to stay where one was
urgently needed, but remain an
outsider, or to go back to the UK
and not be needed, but be part of
the culture and in tune with it.
As I was leaving, a man turned
up, and I was introduced to Mr
Greenngers. I understood that
this was the man who, for many
years, had been responsible for the
wonderful Nairobi parks. He has
actually turned Nairobi into one
of the most owery and colourful
cities in the world.
Now back to Kaimosi, mad
preparations are in progress for
a visit by Mzee Kenyatta. He
is the rst president of Kenya
and coming to the western
region and he will be laying a
foundation stone at Broderick
Falls for a paper mill and he
will be coming to open the new
wing at the hospital here. We are
organising a luncheon for 200 in
our college dining room, here,
and I am making fruit salad to
go with the curry.
The Kenya Police Band will
be accompanying the Mzee.
They are coming on Sunday.
It will be fun having the band
blaring away.
The preparations for the
president were full of care and the
students were to sing the newly
composed national anthem.
The nurses were also to sing to
the president and the rest of us
gathered food and plates, etc.,
for the feast. On the day the
presidents contingent were
very late and then when they, at
last arrived, we went to the stone
laying and the nurses sang, after
that the cavalcade walked over to
the college dining room and the
Mzee ordered lemonade with
fresh lemons. We had not got that
drink, thinking he would want a
bottled drink. I ran down to my
bungalow to get some that was
in my fridge. As I stumbled back
across the campus hearing the
student choir, I saw the cavalcade
leaving for the next venue.
Some six months later I was
summoned to the trial of the
man who had apparently stolen
mothers handbag.
My mother had written to the
judge to ask for leniency in this
case as she had come to no harm
and had forgiven the suspect.
The judge agreed. The irony is
that had the bag not been stolen
I would not have been invited to
The high commissioners house
for tea.

Although the only thing that still bears his
name in Nairobi is a public park, Alibhai Mulla
Jeevanjees story is closely interwoven with
the story of Nairobis beginnings.
Jeevanjee was the man at the heart of the
labour supply for the Uganda railway line. Born
in Karachi, Pakistan, he embarked on a career
as an itinerant peddler, trekking across India
and Australia, when his father died.
He nally settled in East Africa in 1890.
Five years later, he was awarded a contract
to supply the Imperial British East Africa
Company (IBEA Co) with labour for the
Kenya-Uganda Railway.
The execution of this human resource
contract began almost immediately, when
he facilitated the arrival of the rst 350
coolies from the Punjab region of British-
India. Within six years, Jeevanjee had supplied
31,985 workers for the railway line. Muslims,
Hindus, and Sikhs migrated to Kenya to
work in different sections as carpenters,
skilled labourers, electrical tters, and metal
workers.
From the proceeds of the venture, Jeevanjee
expanded his construction business, eventually
building most of the early post offices,
government offices, and railway stations.
His investments straddled Mombasa and
Nairobi.
According to some sources, Jeevanjee once
owned 70 per cent of Nairobi when the city
was still a sprawling township. He eventually
sold much of the land and built the first
buildings that housed the administrative and
communication oces in the new capital.
My grandfather built the rst law courts in
Nairobi, where Imenti House stands today. He
also built the original Nairobi Club and was
the rst landlord of the museum in a building
he owned next to Union Towers, says Zarina
Patel, Jeevanjees granddaughter. If you trace
the history of the earliest buildings in Nairobi,
Jeevanjee is bound to appear somewhere as
the contractor, owner, or as an investor.
On the media front, Jeevanjee launched The
African Standard in Mombasa, but sold it soon
afterwards to two British businessmen who
moved its operations to Nairobi. They renamed
the paper The East African Standard. Today,
known as The Standard, it is the oldest print
newspaper in Kenya.
Now an accomplished and respected
investor and entrepreneur, Jevanjee shifted
his focus to politics. He was the rst non-white
to be appointed to the Legislative Council. He
established the East African Indian National
Congress, the rst political party formed to
champion the rights of a minority in Kenya.
The only remaining evidence that Jeevanjee
once ruled the Nairobi skyline is the Jeevanjee
Gardens situated between Muindi Mbingu
Street and Moi Avenue. It is also bordered
by Monrovia and Mokhtar Daddah streets.
The recreational gardens were built in 1904
and donated to the colonial administration in
1906. From the onset, Jeevanjee envisioned
a serene recreational place in the middle of
the growing city, where people could rest at
any time of the day.
These wishes were respected for almost nine
decades. In 1991, reports emerged that political
and business interests wanted to annex the
grounds and convert them into a mall and a
car park. The plans were shelved following
strong opposition from the Jeevanjee family
and other enviromentalists.

F
ifty years after John F.
Kennedys assassination,
America seems to be
experiencing a kind of
fairy tale about itself, alternately
bright and dark. It is inspiring,
but also deating, to see and hear
again (and again) the handsome,
vigorous president, the youngest
ever elected to the oce, as he
beckons the country forth to the
future, to the New Frontier,
and its promise of conquest:
Putting a man on the moon,
defeating sharply dened evils
totalitarianism, poverty, racial
injustice.
This, we have been reminded,
was the dream Kennedy nourished,
and much of it died with him
when the sharp cracks of rifle
re broke out as his motorcade
rolled through the sun-struck
streets of Dallas. With this horric,
irrational deed, a curse was laid
upon the land and the people fell
from grace.
But this narrative and the
anniversary remembrances
have obscured the deeper
message sent and received on
22 November, 1963. In fact,
America had already become a
divided, dangerous place, with
intimations of anarchic disorder.
Beneath its gleaming surfaces, a
spore had been growing, a mass
of violent energies, coiled and
waiting to spring.
The snipers bullet left one
wound that is not healed, a
wound to our consciousness of
ourselves as Americans, culture
critic Dwight Macdonald wrote in
December 1963. Despite all the
evidence in the newspapers, the
daily stories of senseless brutality
and casual murder, we have
continued to think of ourselves
as a civilised nation where law
and order prevail.
This is not to say America was
not a more optimistic place than
it is now.
The sense, one might even say
the feeling, of being American,
was quite dierent in 1963 from
what it would become, Robert P.
George, a professor of politics and
law at Princeton who is also the
chairman of the US Commission
on International Religious
Freedom, said in an interview.
One reason was that the nations
most powerful institutions were
widely seen as fundamentally
good and trustworthy
government, the military, religious
institutions. People even trusted
big corporations, George said.
This was before Vietnam,
before scandal shook the Roman
Catholic Church, before the
sequence of Wall Street bubbles
and meltdowns.
Disillusioned reaction
The tumult of the 60s and 70s,
including the unravelling of the
Johnson and Nixon presidencies,
came to be depicted, in part, as a
disillusioned reaction to Kennedys
death. But actually, the seeds
had begun to sprout during his
administration. Kennedy himself
embraced a policy of insurgency.
He was xated on ridding Cuba of
its dictator, Fidel Castro. And he
backed a coup in South Vietnam
that resulted in the murder of its
president, Ngo Dinh Diem, and his
brot her,
Ngo Dinh Nhu
an act Kennedy
painfully reected on in
a taped memorandum he
dictated three weeks before
he was killed.
And while many today
mourn the loss of the consensus
politics of the Cold War era, the
centre was already collapsing in
1963. Left-wing groups like the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee and Students for
a Democratic Society, both
impatient with the slow pace of
social change, were formed at the
time of Kennedys presidency.
On the right, the John Birch
Society was ourishing and in
1962, 18,000 young conservatives
attended a rally at Madison Square
Garden at which Kennedy was
jeered and a new tribune, Barry
M. Goldwater, took the stage. Soon
he would vow to clean
out the swampland of
collectivism.
Had Kennedy lived,
he might have found
himself contending
with these fresh
rebellions. Instead,
his memory was
sacralised and his
death seen as a kind
of freeze-frame, the
moment at which
America pivoted away
f r o m its better self.
But things looked much dierent
at the time.
The best-selling nonfiction
book when he was killed was
Victor Laskys JFK: The Man &
the Myth, a dubiously researched
jumble of smears and innuendo,
including the stale rumour that
Kennedy, an observant Catholic,
had suppressed a previous
marriage to a Palm Beach
socialite. The book was briey
removed from circulation by
its publisher, Macmillan, after
Kennedys death.
Kennedy hatred was deepest,
perhaps, in the South, where
civil rights battles had grown
increasingly tense.
White violence was sort of
considered the status quo,
Diane McWhorter, who grew up
in Birmingham and is the author
of Carry Me Home, a Pulitzer
Prize-winning account of the racial
unrest of 1963, said recently.
There had been so many
bombings that people had
accepted it, McWhorter said.
But in May, the citys blacks
struck back, attacking the police
and reghters and setting several
businesses on re. In September,
only two months before Dallas,
white supremacists in Birmingham
planted a bomb in a black church,
killing four young girls.
Reluctant supporter
Kennedy himself was a reluctant
supporter of civil rights legislation,
but when at last he called for it,
many Southern whites were
enraged.
I was in my gym class at the
Brooke Hill School for girls,
McWhorter recalled. Someone
came in and said the president had
been shot, and people cheered.
America is captivated still by
the handsome young president,
coming to oce at the apex of
US power, immortalised in an
intoxicating sheen of glamour
imparted by the new medium of
television. And, of course, we can
never know what might have been
dierent had he lived.
But one who seems to have
recognised the malign forces at
play, ahead of those around him,
was John F. Kennedy himself. He
was averse to large crowds, even
though he stirred them perhaps
because he stirred them. His
celebrated cool masked
uneasiness and distrust.
Peered into the abyss
In A Thousand Days, published
in 1965, Arthur M. Schlesinger
Jr, who worked in the Kennedy
administration, described a
president who had peered into the
abyss and knew the potentiality
of chaos. In the summer of 1963,
Schlesinger reported, Kennedy
concluded an informal talk by
suddenly reading a portion of
Blanche of Castiles speech from
Shakespeares King John, the lines
beginning the suns oercast with
blood... and ending ... they whirl
asunder and dismember me.
Schlesinger had predicted a new
politics of hope with Kennedys
election. But Kennedys own hopes
were more tempered. While
others basked in the excitements
of Camelot, Schlesinger wrote,
Kennedy himself had become
acutely aware of the diculties of
governing a nation so disparate
in its composition, so tense in its
interior relationships, so cunningly
enmeshed in underground fears
and antagonisms, so entrapped by
history in the ethos of violence.

Dear Kitoto,
I have read your articles in
DN2, in particular a letter by
PK. I am the one she refers to
as the other woman, yet she
knows I am legally married to
the man she claims is inter-
ested in her.
I had discussed the issue
with my pastor and had gone
for counselling as she had
sought me out a number of
times. She had actually been
abusive to me.
I do not wish to retali-
ate. As a matter of fact, I
discussed the issue with my
husband and advised him
that I was initiating divorce
proceedings. I told him I was
fed up with her constant calls
to insult me in the wee hours.
I am at peace with myself
and thankful as I have very
recently acquired a job that
will enable me to take care of
myself and my child.
I wish that she convinces
him to let me go amicably
as he has refused to get an
attorney for the divorce pro-
ceedings. I am now stuck as
to how to move on.
He has been violent in the
past and I kept making ex-
cuses for his behaviour. It has
been a rough road, especially
since no one believes he is a
wife batterer from the way
he carries himself. This has
made it tough, but after coun-
selling, I have been able to
realise he is just not the man
for me.
He insists that he will not
give me a divorce willingly
and that if I go ahead with
pursuing the matter he will
sue for sole custody. That is
the only thing that scares me.
Please help me. Please advise
her that I would wish she goes
ahead with the relationship
and says yes. I do not want
to be in this relationship as
my heart is no longer in it.
He has become extra loving
and caring due to the divorce
discussions, but I am still not
ready to give him yet another
chance, especially with her
looming in the horizon.
I have also joined some
support groups, one for single
mothers, another for divorced
individuals, and one for cou-
ples going through divorce.
These groups have provided
much insight. I feel ready to
take the next step. I am at
peace and I am learning daily
to let go. Please pass my mes-
sage to her. If you can also
advise me, I would appreciate
it too.
I have left out certain
details as pertains to my hus-
band and his lover that I feel
should not be made public.
She should not lie that she
was not aware that we are
married. She is fully aware
of that. She even knows
about the child. That has
not stopped her or fazed her
one bit. I am sorry if I come
across as bitter. I am just
tired and want them both out
of my life so that I can have
peace and move on with my
life.
I appreciate the work you
do and I am grateful as my
pastor has guided me through
it as well. Thank you and God
bless you!

Hi,
Having faced the abuse you
are talking about and further
discovering that he has an af-
fair is tough enough to cause
pain and bitterness.
I commend your pastor for
walking with you through this
dicult time. Healing is key to
gaining an attitude of victory
over the situation. The two
of you have a long history of
unresolved issues that have led
to the pending divorce. I am
not aware of the issues in de-
tail and how you tried to solve
them.
I believe that if you have
been walking with your pastors
through this, they must have
discussed with both of you the
desire to seek reconciliation.
If all these eorts failed and
your husband is unwilling to
give you divorce, I feel there is
a need for you to call a meet-
ing between him, your pastor,
and an independent Christian
counsellor who can give an
outsiders perspective. This
meeting could include your
parents, if need be.
I say this because of the
turnaround he is showing. I
may suggest that if he really
wants you back into his life,
this meeting should lay down
his reasons for wanting you
back and whether he is willing
to abandon his former ways.
Nothing is easy in life and this
process, if embraced, is not
going to be easy.
On the other hand, he could
just be seeking to play with
your emotions. It is in a face-
to-face encounter that such
questions can be asked.
If he wants to have both of
you, I can see the danger of fu-
ture feuds. If you need further
help, please let us know. You
and your child deserve to be
happy.
Finally, let me thank you
for not coming out to attack
him through this column. The
gracefulness with which you
have raised your concerns
shows a commendable level of
maturity.
May God heal you as you
seek to hear what he wants
from you. Remember, chal-
lenges like the ones you have
faced should leave us better
people and growing but not
bitter with people and life in
general. That child needs a
mother and a parent who will
be a great steward. My prayers
are with you.
PLEASE HOOK ME
UP WITH THESE
COUNSELLORS
Dear Kitoto,
Thank you for the great
job you are doing. May God
richly bless you and give you
wisdom and knowledge in
helping marriages and fami-
lies that are going through
challenges.
I have two questions:
1. I have a friend who is
Asian and Muslim. She is set
to get married soon and has
always been interested in the
kind of premarital counselling
that Christians go through. I
wish to arrange one for her.
Could you help with the con-
tacts of good counsellors who
could assist?
2. I would also like to you
to connect me with a good
relationship counsellor one
who can advise on relation-
ships before marriage. Would
that be a marriage counsellor
too? A born-again counsellor
would be preferred.

Hi,
I appreciate your com-
pliments and arm our
commitment to keep spreading
the message of hope to fami-
lies. It is people like you who
keep us inspired to soldier on.
Keep reading!
Premarital counselling is key
for those who intend to get
married. Although ignored by
many, premarital counselling
provides a head start in the
journey of starting a family.
I must congratulate you for
wanting your friend to do this.
Marriage problems do not
respect colour, religion, race,
tribe, or language. If well done,
premarital counselling can add
great value to those who com-
mit to go through it.
I will email you the details of
some counsellors to refer her
to. In addition, I will send you
the names of a counsellor to
help you with your issues. All
the best.

want a cheating husband
that we would tie the knot in four
years. Unfortunately, I have found
out that she has been cheating on
me.
I came to learn that she had af-
fairs with four other men. The
most heartbreaking of all is that
one of the men is my younger
brother.
I am meant to understand that
she was the one who approached
him and proposed an aair.
I came to know about the four
men after we had a quarrel one
day. She had insisted that she had
deep love for me and to prove it,
gave me the passwords of three of
her Facebook accounts.
What I found, Mr Kitoto, was
hard to believe it. I still do not
know her motive for giving me the
details of her Facebook accounts
because, besides the dirty mes-
sages there, she referred to all her
men as, My future husband.
In one of the messages was a
discussion with one of the men
about exchanging a ring. Please
advise me, Mr Kitoto.
Kimikal
Hi,
My opinion is that as much as
this woman seems to be having
many aairs, I am surprised that
she chose not to conceal them when
she promised to show that she
loved you.
Going by your words, I see a
woman who has had a irty and
sexually engaging past. I also see a
man who may not have done a good
job at seeking disclosure at the ear-
liest opportunity.
Disclosure of past relationships
is not all you needed to know. The
issue is what you do with the in-
formation. Are you seeking to hurt
her with it? If you do, then, there is
really no dierence between the two
of you.
As you said, the truth is what
you got from her and it is what you
have laid on the table. I pray that
the same truth should set you free
and not imprison you. Remember
that the two of you have just been
dating.
I suggest that you look for a kind
way of speaking to her about your
disappointment.
Once you have done this, it is up
to you to put before her whether
you feel the relationship is worth
restoring.
As you do this, ensure that you
are not judging the woman for the
mistakes that happened long before
the two of you made up your minds
to walk together towards marriage.
CONFUSED OVER
HOT AFFAIR WITH
NEIGHBOURS WIFE
Dear Kitoto,
I met a woman who happened to
be married but did not have chil-
dren. We live on the same plot.
We started talking to each other
simply as neighbours and it was
the usual greetings. Little did I
know that this woman was at-
tracted to me, only that she had
not found the courage to tell me.
At some point, we exchanged
phone numbers and she would call
often to know how I was doing at
work. She was not working.
One day she called me and told
me there was something urgent
she wanted to discuss with me, but
it could not be discussed over the
phone. I begged her to just tell me.
To my surprise, she boldly ex-
pressed her love for me and stated
that she wanted me to marry her.
She also said she was ready to
leave her husband and come live
with me as long as I moved to a
dierent neighbourhood.
I was shocked. I insisted that we
meet and talk about it. We met in
town where she outrageously and
boldly looked into my eyes and
repeated how much she loved me
and wanted to spend the rest of
her life with me.
Since then, we have been meet-
ing in secret places and getting
intimate. Now I am afraid that her
husband might nd out and that
this would create problems for me
and their marriage.
My question is: Should I move
to another place and marry this
woman as she suggests? Is she
genuinely ready to leave her hus-
band just for me? Also, is it proper
to take somebodys wife and marry
her? What assurance do I have that
she is not playing with my mind?
What risks are involved in such an
arrangement?
Please help me before I do some-
thing that I may end up regretting
for the rest of my life.
Tony
As much as she may have said
she loves you, I know that deep
down, you already can feel what I
will tell you: Move out before it
gets worse.
You need to ask yourself a simple
question: What if I was the other
man? Maybe that man is hearing
the same lies you are being told.
From where I stand, I can tell you
that you are the only one with the
key to this trap.
If you can go several steps back
with me, although she is the one
who called you, this would not have
gone this far if you had told her
no right from the beginning. I bet
she would have found another easy
prey.
I suggest that you do the wom-
ans husband and yourself justice
and close this chapter.
Before God and her husband, this
is a sin. It does not matter where
the man does not love her or not.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
Right now, she is married and you
are committing adultery.
Can you make things better?
Denitely. There are many wonder-
ful single people who are ready
and willing to make a future with
you. Why hurt a man whose wife is
cheating on him? As you make such
decisions, be ready for the conse-
quences.
First, be right before God and
seek to do for others what you ex-
pect them to do for you. Second,
let her deal with the issue of making
things right with her husband.
Third, I suggest you move houses
to a place that is far from her so
that you do not make the same
mistake.

After a short while, the receptionist
came to tell us that the doctor was
ready to see us. Alex, come and sit
on this long table so I can look at
your leg. I moved over, placed the
crutches to the side and hopped
on top, after removing my trousers
as asked. The doctor unwrapped
the bandage on my limb and gently
prodded my skin. I felt no pain and
there was no swelling. Good, the
wound has healed well, you wont
need bandaging any more! Have you
had any more dizzy spells?
No.
Excellent! However, let your
parents know immediately if you ever
feel dizzy again. It looks like it wont
recur, but we must be careful all the
same. She waited for me to nod in
answer before she went on. In one
weeks time you will be measured
for your prosthesis.I was very
excited at this news and as I had an
appointment with Tony, we hurried
o to tell him. He was pleased to see
us, and was also excited at the news.
Youll be able to walk properly again,
although you seem to be handling
those crutches very well! Tony said.
Farewell, Terminator! I joked.
The day for my prosthesis
measuring came and I went to Doctor
Mainas oce as usual. She examined
me quickly and then said, Well now
go to another oce to have your leg
measurements taken.
I hurriedly got o the examination
table and into my trousers. Mum and I
followed the doctor down the corridor
to an oce with a sign, Orthopedic
Technician. Doctor Maina knocked
on the door, Come in, said a voice.
We went in and were introduced to a
man in the usual white coat.

MEA LTD
Clbration of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Crtication
MEA Nakuru
KENAS ofcial presenting the ISO Ceticate to the Managing Director of MEA Ltd.
Message from the
Managing Director
Over the last 36 years, Mea Limited has been working with
farmers in Kenya and the region in the provision of fertilizers
and technical services.
With the increasing population estimated in Kenya at one mil-
lion people per year, we can only manage to feed the addi-
tional mouths by increasing crop productivity through better
land and crop management practices.
Use of suitable and adequate fertilizers based on soil and crop
requirements is perhaps the only feasible way to achieving
food security all other factors being favorable.
To know whether the nutrients( food for the plants) present
in your soil are adequate and in the right proportions neces-
sary for plant growth, you need to test your soils to avoid the
use of fertilizers which may not be benecial to your soil and
crop. Of the sixteen elements needed for plant growth, if one
of them is absent or not present in adequate quantities in the
soil, a farmer will not obtain optimal yields. It is important to
note that crop growth and yield is limited by the nutrient that
is in shortest supply relative to the biological requirement of
the crop.
In view of this Mea Ltd has invested in a state-of-art of labo-
ratory where soil, fertilizer, plant tissue and water for irriga-
tion suitability are tested. Today marks a milestone in our
company calendar when we celebrate the award of ISO/IEC
17025:2005 from Kenya National Accreditation Service (KE-
NAS) following audit of our laboratory on competence with
regard to quality testing, calibration, administrative and tech-
nical operations.
This means that results obtained from our laboratory are
technically valid and comparable to results obtained from
any other laboratory worldwide with similar accreditation.
Soil and plant tissue analytical results serve as a guide to
the formulation of appropriate fertilizer blends to given soil-
crop conditions in our fertilizer plant. We urge our farmers to
make use of our services as we nd no need to send material
samples out of the country when the same can be tested lo-
cally, cheaply and more efciently. We have what it takes to
deliver quality results.
Additionally, farmers who are doubtful about the quality of
fertilizers purchased from stockists or elsewhere can submit
samples to our laboratories for verication.
We can only achieve food security if we use correct fertiliz-
ers and good crop husbandry practices and are proud to be
counted among others in helping our country achieve this im-
portant goal.
ABOUT MEA LTD
E
stablished in 1977, Mea Ltd is one of the largest fertilizer
traders with a market share of about 35% of the private
imports and the largest fertilizer blender and supplier of
blended fertilizers in Kenya. We were the rst company to op-
erate a private soil testing laboratory and have provided and
continue to provide advisory services to farmers on sound soil
fertility management.
The laboratory services and fertilizer blending facility were
started in Kenya by the then Windmill Fertilizers East Africa
Ltd Company (now Mea Limited) in 1966 mainly to serve
farmers in the Rift Valley, Western and some parts of Mt Ken-
ya regions.
Bulk shipments of D.A.P (18.46.0) fertilizer by USAID/Kenya
under bilateral agreement during 80s was transferred to Mea
Limited for bagging and eventual distribution to farmers.
We pioneered in the packaging of fertilizer into 10kg and

Our laboratory located in Nakuru is equipped
with modern facilities and manned by highly
qualied staff. With regard to soil testing, we
provide brochures with clear instructions to
customers on the best methods of collecting
a representative sample for delivery to our
laboratory for analysis
We analyse soil samples for major elements
(Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium), sec-
ondary elements (Calcium, Magnesium) and
trace elements (Copper, Iron, Zinc, Manga-
nese). Other determinations include soil pH
to assess the acidity or alkalinity of the soil,
exchangeable acidity (Hp) to determine lim-
ing requirement and sodium as a guide in the
application of gypsum as an amendment for
alkaline soils.
We also carry out textural analysis inorder
to establish soil nutrient holding capacity,
water retention and drainability of the soils
as all these characteristics affect soil fertility.
Test results are dispatched to the customer
by e-mail or post and where fertilizer rec-
ommendations are requested, we provide
the same taking into account the soil data,
crop and the climatic conditions of the area
where crop is to be grown.
Our soil testing fees are currently at KES
1500 +16% VAT per sample. We recommend
a retest after every four (4) years.
Message from the

Development
ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation is
the single most important stand-
ard for testing & calibration labo-
ratories worldwide. Laboratories
that are accredited to this stand-
ard demonstrate that they are
technically competent and able
to produce precise and accurate
tests. Subsequently tests done
at one point are accepted every-
where in the country and around
the world and thus creating an
increase in trade possibilities.
When you link how accreditation
supports world trade, it allows
for regional goods and services
to become more competitive
as their conformity assessment
processes are recognized by in-
ternational markets. This simply
means there is an improvement
in trade facilitation and possibly

More Accredited Bodies Needed for Qual-
ity of Goods and Services
Message from the Acting Managing Director,
KENAS
KENAS continues to play a signicant role of accrediting laboratories
which are responsible for testing the quality and safety parameters in
products before they are used by consumers. Operating in public interest,
across all market sectors, accreditation determines the technical compe-
tence, reliability and integrity of conformity assessment bodies i.e. bodies
that check compliance with standards and regulations through testing,
verication, inspection and calibration. Accreditation works through a
process of transparent and impartial evaluation of these organisations
against internationally recognized standards and other national require-
ments. KENAS has evaluated 28 such bodies for competence. We there-
fore urge those performing conformity assessment bodies undertaking
testing, inspection and certication to embrace accreditation as a means
of building condence in their quality systems, products and services.
Mea Ltd Laboratory is Accredited to Test
Soil and Fertiliser Testing
Message from the Principal Secretary, Ministry of
Industrialization & Enterprise Development
KENAS, the sole National Accreditation Body (NAB) for Kenya, has at-
tested that MEA Ltd is competent enough to test soil and fertilizers. I
believe this is a welcome move to farmers who would want to know the
status of their soil and fertilizers prior to planting in order to project their
yield. KENAS being a National establishment means that it makes its less
expensive for local conformity assessment bodies to attain accredita-
tion as compared to seeking for these service oversees. It is important
to promote accreditation as a means of facilitating not only local trade
of agricultural products but also regional and international which in turn
enhances economic performance and transformation.

Accreditation by
Kenas
Accreditation is a benchmark for per-
formance that assures high standards
in operational systems by Conform-
ity Assessment Bodies (CABs). It is a
means of reducing technical barriers
to trade hence leading to increase in
trade and economic growth. Accredita-
tion also promotes health, safety and
environmental protection through
demonstration of competence in con-
formity assessment activities.
A Conformity Assessment Body (CAB)
is a testing laboratory, a calibration
laboratory, certication body or an
inspection body that provides inspec-
tion, testing and certication services
in all sectors.
OUR VISION: Our vision is to be a glo-
bal leader in the provision of accredita-
tion services.
OUR MISSION: Provision of accredita-
tion services that promote fair trade,
health and safety as well as protection
of the environment.
OUR MOTTO: Competence in Conform-
ity Assessment.
All our imports undergo pre-shipment inspec-
tion by government appointed agents (SGS,
Bureau Veritas, Cotecna etc) before loading
and are then re-tested upon arrival at Mom-
basa port to ensure their conformity to Kenya
Bureau of Standards (KEBS) specications.
We also carry out internal testing at our labo-
ratories for our NPK fertilizer blends and our
other fertilizers to ensure that our customers
only receive the highest quality products. We
do not compromise for quality in all our prod-
ucts/services .
We have also invested in mobile bagging units
at the port of Mombasa and have recently in-
vested in a woven Polypropylene bag manu-
facturing plant in Nakuru where we are pro-
ducing high quality bags for the packaging of
fertilizers, sugar, maize etc. This ensures con-
trol of the distribution channel right from the
load port to our customers.

We have a state-of art fer-
tilizer blending plant com-
pletely computerized with an
installed capacity of 50MTPH or
300,000MT per annum.
Raw Material for production
of fertilizer blends are nished
granular fertilizer products and
which must be of matching
sizes (same granular sizes-
normally 2-4mm diameter)
and should not react with each
other. If a blender uses materi-
als that are not of the same
granular size, there is the likeli-
hood of segregation. When two
or more products which can
react together are mixed then
the resultant product will either
be sticky or slurry and hence the
importance of knowledge and skills in a
fertilizer blending process.
At our Nakuru factory, we produce a
variety of fertilizer blends such as 12-46-0
(wheat and barley), 22-6-12+2CaO+1MgO
+ 0.2Zn+0.1B) (coffee), NPK 20-10-10 (cof-
fee), NPK 39-5-5, NPK 29-5-5, NPK 26-5-5,
NPK 25-5-5 and 25-5-5 +5S (tea) among
others.
Blending technology has been practiced
since 1950s and widely used in United
States of America, Western Europe, Asia
and other countries as the technology to
supply balanced nutrition to their soils/
crops. This technology is quite versatile and
one can incorporate secondary elements,
trace elements and even pesticides in the
formulations.
For countries like Kenya without primary
raw materials (for now) for the manufac-
turer of NPK compound fertilizers through
a chemical process, this is the most ideal
technology for the production of NPK ferti-
lizers. The plant can be switched on and off
at will unlike in a chemical plant. Research
has shown that there are no signicant
agronomic differences between chemically
produced NPK fertilizers and NPK fertilizer
blends. We are proud to be pioneers of this
wonderful technology in East Africa.
Given that no single fertilizer can be suita-
ble to all fertilizer types and crops, the only
solution to balanced nutrition under our
circumstances is through use of fertilizer
blends. With this technology it is therefore
possible to develop soil-crop specic ferti-
lizers for various Counties in our country.

Legume crops such as beans, peas,
snow peas, cow peas, soya beans,
French beans, ground nuts, lucerne,
desmodium and others have the
ability to x nitrogen (an essential
nutrient in crop growth) from the
air. To x this nitrogen on to their
root nodules, it requires the pres-
ence of rhizobium bacteria. Unfor-
tunately, many African soils do not
have sufcient rhizobia for effec-
tive nodulation and hence the need
to supply additional rhizobia for ef-
fective nodulation.
The university of Nairobi developed
this technology of production and
packaging rhizobia way back in
1976. In 2009 under African Knowl-
edge Transfer Partnership (AKTP)
facilitated by the British Council,
UoN and Mea Limited reached an
agreement in which UoN was to
transfer the technogy to Mea LTD
for commercialization. The tech-
nology was effectively transferred
within one year. Mea is now able to
produce and market this product
under the trade name (BIOFIX) and
which is patented by UoN.
We produce and market Biox in
Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda,
Rwanda and Zambia. This is a work-
ing public private partnership and
no doubt it has increased legume
crop yields and improved liveli-
hoods of small scale farmers.
Farmers using biox in legume pro-
duction do not have to buy chemi-
cal nitrogenous fertilizers. With

Biox is packed in 20g, 50g and 100g sachets. For
one acre of beans for example a farmer requires
only 100g sachet for 15kg seed bean which will
cost only Ksh 335 per sachet.
Instructions for using Biox are shown below:-
1. Add 30g gum arabic (or two tablespoonfuls of
sugar) to 300ml of clean luke warm water in a
soda bottle and shake well to dissolve.
2. Fill a debe can, or any other container used
for weighing, with 15kg of large sized legume
seeds e.g. beans, cowpeas, or 10kg of small
sized seeds e.g. lucerne, desmodium or green
grams.
3. Pour the 15kg lucerne seeds from the debe or
any other container that will accommodate the
seeds.
4. Pour gum Arabic/sugar solution onto the leg-
ume seeds in the basin/container.
5. Mix the legume seeds with gum arabic/sugar
solution until all the seeds are wet.
6. Using the right type of BIOFIX for the legume
seeds, pour the contents of the packet onto the
wet seeds in the basin/container.
7. Mix the legume seeds and the inoculant thoroughly until all the seeds are uniformly
covered with the inoculants.
8. Protect the inoculated seeds from direct sunlight by covering the basin with paper,
cloth or gunny bag and keep under shade until planted.
9. Plant the inoculated seeds as soon as possible in well prepared moist bed.
We have about 15 strains of rhizobia inoculant and mother cultures are supplied by UoN
and who also monitor the quality on a sustainable basis. We are proud to be the rst in
East Africa to commercialize this wonderful technology and would urge other public in-
stitutions and private companies to forge similar partnerships that will contribute to our
agricultural and economic development.

Industrys top performers awarded
V
arious institutions and
individuals won big at this
years Think Business Limiteds
Capital Markets Awards event with
some taking home more than one
award. Several rms at the Nairobi
Securities Exchange (NSE), brokerage
rms and heads of some listed rms
were feted.
By EVANS ONGWAE >>> eongwae@ke.nationmedia.com
The guest of honour was Mrs Rose
Mambo, the CEO of Central Depository and
Settlement Corporation (CDSC).
The winners were feted at a gala
organised by Think Business Limited
to recognise and award exemplary
performance in the industry. Held at a city
hotel, the event was attended by more

The Best Lead Transaction advisor award

This years Capital Markets Awards
took an East African approach aimed at
encouraging the neighboring developing
markets to participate in the collective
development of the capital markets. There
were 18 categories to be won and Think
Business received 69 entries from industry
players.
Reforms in the capital markets are paying
dividends and investors are trooping back
to the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).
Winners at the Think Business CMA awards
have been part and parcel of this journey
and have contributed to the vibrancy of the
capital markets.
The result is that capital markets are now
mobilizing greater amounts of investment
capital. With automated infrastructure
platforms, price discovery, trade settlement
and investor dispute resolution have become
visibly e cient, fair and transparent, hence
boosting market condence.
By introducing enhanced net capital
requirements and capital adequacy limits
on market intermediaries, publishing of
nancial results by market intermediaries,
and risk-based supervision, the governance
and risk management issues that
characterized the market a few years have
largely been addressed.
Think Business Limited is the nancial
sector analysis powerhouse in East Africa.
The company has been at the forefront of
collecting, collating and packaging data
from the nancial sector for the last 15
years.
In the modern corporate world,
transparency and accountability
are popular catchwords. As
the world becomes one global
market where capital ows
and information can cross
geographic borders at the click
of a mouse, the reliability of
the information will determine
whether or not investors invest
in an enterprise or country.
Deliberate eorts are
therefore made to promote
good governance in companies,
provide all the necessary
information that investors need
to make informed decisions on
where to invest in the capital
markets.
One of the Best Lead
Transaction advisors feted at the
Think Business Capital Market
Awards was NIC Bank, a winner
in other competitions as well.
Information empowers.
Doing business responsibly by
demonstrating transparency and
accountability informs investing
decisions.
This explains why corporate
governance is one of the award
categories at many annual
awards that focus on the nancial
performance of rms.
The search for the corporation
that has demonstrated best
corporate governance practices in
essence shines a spotlight on the
performance of boards of directors
whose key responsibility is to
provide oversight and direction for
a company or institution.
To fulll their mandates to
shareholders, employees and the
society at large, company directors
must remain committed to
upholding the highest standards of
corporate governance and business
ethics.
This commitment is best judged
against continuous and consistent
focus on actions that are geared
towards ensuring full compliance
with all relevant laws as well as
with the Guidelines on Corporate
Governance Practices by Public
Listed Companies in Kenya issued
by the Capital Markets Authority.
Directors must promote
adherence to the highest standards
of corporate governance. To this
end, companies must strive to act
as models by exemplifying generally
accepted corporate practice
and espousing internationally
developed principles of good
corporate governance.
The directors must fully support
the aims and objectives of the
Kenya Shareholders Association in
seeking to empower shareholders
in listed companies to raise the
standards of corporate governance
in those companies.
Meetings are essential to the
eective management of a rm and
to this end, the board of directors
must meet regularly to direct and
manage a companys business
according to essential standards of
good corporate governance.
Except for direction and
guidance on general policy, the
board delegates authority for the
conduct of day-to-day business
to the chief executive o cer. It
however retains responsibility
for establishing and maintaining
the companys overall system of
internal controls over nancial,
operational and compliance issues
and monitoring the performance of
management.
A clearly documented board
charter guides the board in the
discharge of its functions. The
charter denes the governance
framework within which the
board exists and works and sets
out specic responsibilities to
be discharged by the board
and directors collectively and
individually.
Directors need appropriate
and timely information so that
they can maintain full and
eective control over strategic,
nancial, operational and
compliance issues.
An eective board
should have a mix of skills,
competencies and gender. To
remain relevant, directors must
continue to upgrade their skills
and knowledge by taking part
in formal training progammes on
corporate governance as well as
general training.
The board has a collective
responsibility for the
establishment and maintenance
of a system of internal controls
that provides reasonable
assurance of eective and
e cient operations.
Strong corporate governance key to companies success

O
ver the last 36 years, Mea Limited has been
working with farmers in Kenya and the region
in the provision of fertilizers and technical
services.
With the increasing population estimated in
Kenya at one million people per year, we can only man-
age to feed the additional mouths by increasing crop
productivity through better land and crop management
practices.
Use of suitable and adequate fertilizers based on soil
and crop requirements is perhaps the only feasible
way to achieving food security all other factors being
favorable.
To know whether the nutrients( food for
the plants) present in your soil are adequate and in
the right proportions necessary for plant growth, you
need to test your soils to avoid the use of fertilizers
which may not be benecial to your soil and crop. Of
the sixteen elements needed for plant growth, if one
of them is absent or not present in adequate quantities
in the soil, a farmer will not obtain optimal yields. It is
important to note that crop growth and yield is limited
by the nutrient that is in shortest supply relative to the
biological requirement of the crop.
In view of this Mea Ltd has invested in a
state-of-art of laboratory where soil, fertilizer, plant
tissue and water for irrigation suitability are tested. To-
day marks a milestone in our company calendar when
we celebrate the award of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 from
Kenya National Accreditation Service (KENAS) follow-
ing audit of our laboratory on competence with regard
to quality testing, calibration, administrative and tech-
nical operations.
This means that results obtained from our labora-
tory are technically valid and comparable to results
obtained from any other laboratory worldwide with
similar accreditation. Soil and plant tissue analytical
results serve as a guide to the formulation of appropri-
ate fertilizer blends to given soil-crop conditions in our
fertilizer plant. We urge our farmers to make use of our
services as we nd no need to send material samples
out of the country when the same can be tested locally,
cheaply and more eciently. We have what it takes to
deliver quality results.
Additionally, farmers who are doubtful about the qual-
ity of fertilizers purchased from stockists or elsewhere
can submit samples to our laboratories for verica-
tion.
We can only achieve food security if we use
correct fertilizers and good crop husbandry practices
and are proud to be counted among others in helping
our country achieve this important goal.
MEA Ltd celebration of ISO/IEC
17025:2005 Certication
E
stablished in 1977, Mea Ltd is one of the largest fertilizer traders with a
market share of about 35% of the private imports and the largest fer-
tilizer blender and supplier of blended fertilizers in Kenya. We were the
rst company to operate a private soil testing laboratory and have provided
and continue to provide advisory services to farmers on sound soil fertility
management.
The laboratory services and fertilizer blending facility were started in Kenya
by the then Windmill Fertilizers East Africa Ltd Company (now Mea Lim-
ited) in 1966 mainly to serve farmers in the Rift Valley, Western and some
parts of Mt Kenya regions.
Bulk shipments of D.A.P (18.46.0) fertilizer by USAID/Kenya under bilateral
agreement during 80s was transferred to Mea Limited for bagging and even-
tual distribution to farmers.
We pioneered in the packaging of fertilizer into 10kg and 25kg pack to cater
for small scale farmers, a service which we continue to provide to this day. We
have developed and continued to develop fertilizer formulations to address
the various soil types and crops grown in the region.
In Kenya, we have sales outlets in Mombasa, Nairobi, Nakuru and Eldoret.
Additionally, we have in excess of 1,000 distributors spread throughout the
country ensuring that farmers access our fertilizers even at village level.
MEA Ltd has trading subsidiaries in Tanzania, Malawi, Rwanda and Zambia.
Our sta comprises of fully qualied agriculturalists, agronomists and soils
scientists in order to provide full back up services to farmers.
Our laboratory located in Nakuru is equipped with modern facilities and
manned by highly qualied sta. With regard to soil testing, we provide bro-
chures with clear instructions to customers on the best methods of collecting
a representative sample for delivery to our laboratory for analysis
We analyse soil samples for major elements (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potas-
sium), secondary elements (Calcium, Magnesium) and trace elements (Cop-
per, Iron, Zinc, Manganese). Other determinations include soil pH to assess
the acidity or alkalinity of the soil, exchangeable acidity (Hp) to determine
liming requirement and sodium as a guide in the application of gypsum as an
amendment for alkaline soils.
We also carry out textural analysis inorder to establish soil nutrient holding
capacity, water retention and drainability of the soils as all these characteris-
tics aect soil fertility. Test results are dispatched to the customer by e-mail
or post and where fertilizer recommendations are requested, we provide the
same taking into account the soil data, crop and the climatic conditions of the
area where crop is to be grown.
Our soil testing fees are currently at KES 1500 +16% VAT per sample. We
recommend a retest after every four (4) years.

ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation is the single most
important standard for testing & calibration labora-
tories worldwide. Laboratories that are accredited
to this standard demonstrate that they are techni-
cally competent and able to produce precise and
accurate tests. Subsequently tests done at one point
are accepted everywhere in the country and around
the world and thus creating an increase in trade pos-
sibilities. When you link how accreditation supports
world trade, it allows for regional goods and services
to become more competitive as their conformity as-
sessment processes are recognized by international
markets. This simply means there is an improvement
in trade facilitation and possibly market access, a
step towards the realization of vision 2030. Kenya is
an agro-based economy and this is seen with the re-
forms that began in 2003 with strategies for revital-
izing agriculture. This poses a necessity in assuring
quality of food being grown in Kenya for the people
of Kenya. Accreditation is just one step towards this
realization.
Message from the Cabinet
Secretary, Ministry of Industriali-
sation & Enterprise Development
Laboratory accreditation is key
in countrys economic growth
Mea Ltd laboratory is accredited to
test soil and fertiliser testing
More accredited bodies needed
for quality of foods and services
We import and distribute a full range
of basal (planting) fertilizers such as
Diammonium Phosphate (DAP 18:46:
0), Mono-ammonium Phosphate (MAP
11:52:0), Single Superphosphate (SSP
18% P2O5), Triple Superphosphate
(TSP 46% P2O5), NPK compound
fertilizers and top-dressing fertilizers
such as Calcium Ammonium Nitrate
(CAN 26%N), UREA 46%N, Sulphate
of Ammonium S/A 21%N), Muriate of
Potash (MOP 60% K2O), Sulphate of
Potash (SOP 50% K2O) among others.
Over the years, we have developed soil/crop specic fertilizer blends such as MEA MAZAO
23-23-0 for maize, NPK22-6-12+2CaO+1MgO+0.2Zn+0.1B, NPK 18-4-12+2CaO+1MgO+0.1B
and NPK 20-10-10 (coee), NPK 39-5-5, NPK 29-5-5, NPK 27-5-5, NPK 26-5-5 and NPK 25-
5-5+5S (tea) based on available research data.
Our company was the pioneer in Kenya with regard to incorporation of secondary elements
(calcium, magnesium and sulphur) as well as trace elements (zinc, copper and Boron) in NPK
fertilizer formulations.
We also produce and market Rhizobium Inoculant (Biox) under license from the University
of Nairobi to facilitate nitrogen xation on legume crops such as beans, cowpeas, French
beans, groundnuts, Lucerne, desmodium, among others.
OUR PRODUCTS
Message from the Principal Secretary,
Ministry of Industrialisation & Enterprise
Development
KENAS, the sole National Accreditation Body (NAB) for
Kenya, has attested that MEA Ltd is competent enough to
test soil and fertilizers. I believe this is a welcome move
to farmers who would want to know the status of their
soil and fertilizers prior to planting in order to project
their yield. KENAS being a National establishment means
that it makes its less expensive for local conformity as-
sessment bodies to attain accreditation as compared
to seeking for these service oversees. It is important to
promote accreditation as a means of facilitating not only
local trade of agricultural products but also regional and
international which in turn enhances economic perform-
ance and transformation.
Message from the Acting
Managing Director, KENAS
KENAS continues to play a signicant role of accrediting
laboratories which are responsible for testing the quality
and safety parameters in products before they are used by
consumers. Operating in public interest, across all market
sectors, accreditation determines the technical compe-
tence, reliability and integrity of conformity assessment
bodies i.e. bodies that check compliance with standards
and regulations through testing, verication, inspection
and calibration. Accreditation works through a process of
transparent and impartial evaluation of these organisa-
tions against internationally recognized standards and
other national requirements. KENAS has evaluated 28
such bodies for competence. We therefore urge those per-
forming conformity assessment bodies undertaking test-
ing, inspection and certication to embrace accreditation
as a means of building condence in their quality systems,
products and services.

Accreditation
by Kenas
Accreditation is a benchmark for
performance that assures high
standards in operational systems
by Conformity Assessment Bodies
(CABs). It is a means of reducing
technical barriers to trade hence
leading to increase in trade and
economic growth. Accreditation
also promotes health, safety and
environmental protection through
demonstration of competence in
conformity assessment activities.
A Conformity Assessment Body
(CAB) is a testing laboratory, a
calibration laboratory, certication
body or an inspection body that
provides inspection, testing and cer-
tication services in all sectors.

OUR VISION: Our vision is to be a
global leader in the provision of ac-
creditation services.
OUR MISSION: Provision of ac-
creditation services that promote
fair trade, health and safety as well
as protection of the environment.
OUR MOTTO: Competence in Con-
formity Assessment.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
FERTILIZER BLENDING PLANT
Fertiliser Ooading at the port of Mombasa
All our imports undergo pre-shipment inspection
by government appointed agents (SGS, Bureau
Veritas, Cotecna etc) before loading and are then
re-tested upon arrival at Mombasa port to ensure
their conformity to Kenya Bureau of Standards
(KEBS) specications.
We also carry out internal testing at our labo-
ratories for our NPK fertilizer blends and our
other fertilizers to ensure that our customers
only receive the highest quality products. We do
not compromise for quality in all our products/
services .
We have also invested in mobile bagging units at
the port of Mombasa and have recently invested
in a woven Polypropylene bag manufacturing
plant in Nakuru where we are producing high
quality bags for the packaging of fertilizers,
sugar, maize etc. This ensures control of the
distribution channel right from the load port to
our customers.
We have a state-of art fertilizer blending plant
completely computerized with an installed ca-
pacity of 50MTPH or 300,000MT per annum.
Raw Material for production of fertilizer blends
are nished granular fertilizer products and
which must be of matching sizes (same granular
sizes-normally 2-4mm diameter) and should not
react with each other. If a blender uses materials
that are not of the same granular size, there is
the likelihood of segregation. When two or more
products which can react together are mixed
then the resultant product will either be sticky
or slurry and hence the importance of knowledge
and skills in a fertilizer blending process.
At our Nakuru factory, we produce a variety of
fertilizer blends such as 12-46-0 (wheat and
barley), 22-6-12+2CaO+1MgO + 0.2Zn+0.1B)
(coee), NPK 20-10-10 (coee), NPK 39-5-5,
NPK 29-5-5, NPK 26-5-5, NPK 25-5-5 and 25-5-
5 +5S (tea) among others.
Blending technology has been practiced since
1950s and widely used in United States of
America, Western Europe, Asia and other
countries as the technology to supply balanced
nutrition to their soils/crops. This technology is
quite versatile and one can incorporate second-
ary elements, trace elements and even pesticides
in the formulations.
For countries like Kenya without primary raw
materials (for now) for the manufacturer of NPK
compound fertilizers through a chemical process,
this is the most ideal technology for the produc-
tion of NPK fertilizers. The plant can be switched
on and o at will unlike in a chemical plant. Re-
search has shown that there are no signicant
agronomic dierences between chemically pro-
duced NPK fertilizers and NPK fertilizer blends.
We are proud to be pioneers of this wonderful
technology in East Africa.
Given that no single fertilizer can be suitable to
all fertilizer types and crops, the only solution
to balanced nutrition under our circumstances
is through use of fertilizer blends. With this
technology it is therefore possible to develop
soil-crop specic fertilizers for various Coun-
ties in our country.

Legume crops such as beans, peas, snow peas,
cow peas, soya beans, French beans, ground
nuts, lucerne, desmodium and others have the
ability to x nitrogen (an essential nutrient in
crop growth) from the air. To x this nitrogen
on to their root nodules, it requires the presence
of rhizobium bacteria. Unfortunately, many Af-
rican soils do not have sucient rhizobia for ef-
fective nodulation and hence the need to supply
additional rhizobia for eective nodulation.
The university of Nairobi developed this tech-
nology of production and packaging rhizobia
way back in 1976. In 2009 under African
Knowledge Transfer Partnership (AKTP) fa-
cilitated by the British Council, UoN and Mea
Limited reached an agreement in which UoN
was to transfer the technogy to Mea LTD for
commercialization. The technology was eec-
tively transferred within one year. Mea is now
able to produce and market this product under
the trade name (BIOFIX) and which is patented
by UoN.
We produce and market Biox in Kenya, Mala-
wi, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Zambia. This
is a working public private partnership and no
doubt it has increased legume crop yields and
improved livelihoods of small scale farmers.
Farmers using biox in legume production do
not have to buy chemical nitrogenous fertiliz-
ers. With Biox, an increase in yield of between
20-50% has been recorded all other factors be-
ing favorable. Soya beans and lucerne have been
found to x the most nitrogen. On acid soils,
SYMPAL NPK 0-23-15+2CaO+4S+1MgO
+0.1Zn is recommended.
Biox is packed in 20g, 50g and 100g sachets.
For one acre of beans for example a farmer
requires only 100g sachet for 15kg seed bean
which will cost only Ksh 335 per sachet.
Instructions for using Biox are shown below:-
1. Add 30g gum arabic (or two tablespoonfuls
of sugar) to 300ml of clean luke warm water
in a soda bottle and shake well to dissolve.
2. Fill a debe can, or any other container used
for weighing, with 15kg of large sized leg-
ume seeds e.g. beans, cowpeas, or 10kg of
small sized seeds e.g. lucerne, desmodium or
green grams.
3. Pour the 15kg lucerne seeds from the debe
or any other container that will accommo-
date the seeds.
4. Pour gum Arabic/sugar solution onto the
legume seeds in the basin/container.
5. Mix the legume seeds with gum arabic/sugar
solution until all the seeds are wet.
6. Using the right type of BIOFIX for the leg-
ume seeds, pour the contents of the packet
onto the wet seeds in the basin/container.
7. Mix the legume seeds and the inoculant
thoroughly until all the seeds are uniformly
covered with the inoculants.
8. Protect the inoculated seeds from direct
sunlight by covering the basin with paper,
cloth or gunny bag and keep under shade
until planted.
9. Plant the inoculated seeds as soon as pos-
sible in well prepared moist bed.
We have about 15 strains of rhizobia inoculant
and mother cultures are supplied by UoN and
who also monitor the quality on a sustain-
able basis. We are proud to be the rst in
East Africa to commercialize this wonder-
ful technology and would urge other public
institutions and private companies to forge
similar partnerships that will contribute to
our agricultural and economic development.
OTHER PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE
BIOFIX PRODUCTION
Legumes planted with Biox
1. In line with our fertilizer production strategy, we are investing in the construction of
an NPK solid fertilizer granulation plant. Construction is underway and expected to be
completed by end of 2014. The plant will have an output capacity of 100,000 MT per
annum and we shall be producing a wide range of NPK compound fertilizers. We shall
therefore have capacity to cater for NPK compound fertilizers currently required in our
country.
2. Mea Limited is partnering with Chinese rms CHINA NATIONAL CHEMICAL ENGI-
NEERING COMPANY and SINOCHEM in the construction of a nitrogenous fertilizer
plant within the next 2-3 years.
