POLITICS | Coalitions and small parties among the losers as registrar sets the stage for Sh205 million election payout
WINNERS

etails of how the three main political parties TNA, ODM and URP will share Sh205 million became clear yesterday, a day after a judge dismissed a case by small parties which had been seeking a share of the cash. TNA will get Sh89.3 million, ODM Sh87.4 million and URP Sh28.2 million. Although the fund had been allocated Sh2.88 billion or 0.3 per cent of the national revenue the National Treasury has only released Sh205 million. President Kenyattas The National Alliance got 21,667,938 votes accounting for 29.74 per cent of the total votes cast while Orange Democratic Movement led by Mr Raila Odinga, was second with 19,032,997 (29.12 per cent). The United Republican Party led by Deputy President William Ruto, was third with 6,843,730 (9.39 per cent) of the votes cast. Those were the only three parties that qualied for a share of the Political Parties Fund. Ms Lucy Ndungu, the Registrar of Political Parties, yesterday said her team was working on how to release the money. All the other parties that participated in the General Election, will
TNA: President Uhuru Kenyatta was the succesful Jubilee Coalition presidential candidate. He garnered 6.1 million votes accounting for 50.51 per cent of the total votes cast in the March 4 General Election. TNA will get Sh89.3m. ODM: Former PM Raila Odinga was Cord Coalitions presidential candidate. He nished second with 5.34 million votes which translated to 43.7 per cent of the total votes cast. ODM will get Sh87.4 million. URP: Mr William Ruto, was the Jubilee Coalitions running mate in the presidential race. His party will get Sh28.2m.

miss out on the public funding. They include Wiper Democratic Movement of Mr Odingas Cord running-mate Kalonzo Musyoka, United Democratic Front whose presidential candidate was Mr Musalia Mudavadi, and Narc-Kenya led by another presidential candidate, Ms Martha Karua. Also missing out is the former ruling party Kanu led by Mr Gideon Moi, Kenya Social Congress whose presidential candidate was Mr Peter Kenneth, and Ford-Kenya led by Mr Moses Wetangula, also of the Cord Coalition. A party must secure at least ve per cent of the total votes cast to qualify for public funding. UDF, whose presidential candidate nished third, only managed 3.96 per cent of the vote. Small parties, which failed to meet the threshold, had gone to court seeking that coalitions be regarded as parties but Mr Justice David Majanja rejected their plea. Now that there is no court order, Ms Ndungu said in a telephone interview with the Nation, we have started the process of releasing the funds to the political parties which qualify. In calculating how much money each political party gets, Ms Ndungus team had lumped all the presidential votes for the Jubilee Coalition to TNA and Cords gures to ODM. A total of all the votes garnered by a political party in the six elec-

tions were then tallied to give the nal gure. Judge Majanja helped resolve the puzzle of presidential votes garnered by Jubilee and Cord coalitions when he said they would not be factored in the sharing out of the funds. He, however, said that in future, Parliament can amend the Political Parties Act to come up with a formula which would allow coalitions to draw money from the parties fund. It is still open to Parliament to review the criteria and formula for funding political parties, including coalitions... in order to benet more political parties, he said in his ruling on Monday. The sharing of the funds will give the three parties a lifeline after months of nancial diculties which arose after some MPs and senators declined to pay their monthly contributions.
UDF: Mr Musalia Mudavadi was the Amani Coalition presidential candidate. The former deputy PM nished third with 483,981 votes cast, accounting for 3.96 per cent of the total vote. UDF will not benet because it fell short of the ve per cent threshold. WIPER DEMOCRATIC PARTY: Former Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka, the party leader, was the Cord Coalition running mate. His party, which has 21 MPs, also lost out. KANU: The oldest party in the country, and which was in power for 39 years, also lost out. It did not eld a presidential candidate but supported Mr Musalia Mudavadi of the Amani Coalition. FORD KENYA: The party led by Mr Moses Wetangula was an aliate of Cord. Though Mr Wetangula became the Minority Leader in the Senate, his party will also not get any money from the parties fund.

he Senate last evening brushed aside a court order barring it from discussing the fate of Embu Governor Martin Wambora. It set up a committee of 11 to consider his impeachment. No mention was made of the court order obtained by Mr Wambora from the High Court in Nairobi. Neither Speaker Ekwee Ethuro nor the 16 senators who spoke made any indication that they had seen the order. Most senators said the consideration of the impeachment was a test for the Senate.
Because the court order was not mentioned yesterday, it is likely to be one of these objections. Nyeri Senator Mutahi Kagwe asked committee members to ignore all other issues that may arise in the course of their work over the next 10 days. Prof Anyang Nyongo (Kisumu, ODM) suggested other governors would learn from Mr Wamboras experience. Committee members Boni Khalwale and Kipchumba Murkomen said the hearings would be about due process. I would like to assure the governor of Embu and his deputy that they have nothing to fear, said Dr Khalwale. Nairobi High Court judge David Majanja had stopped the Senate from discussing Mr Wamboras removal. He ruled yesterday that the urgent petition by Mr Wambora had raised weighty constitutional issues. I am aware of the doctrine of separation of powers which demands that the Judiciary shows deference to the legislature on certain matters and every State organ including the Legislature is subject to the Constitution and the nal arbiter is the court, said Justice Majanja. Mr Wamboras deputy, Ms Nditi, has also led a separate petition to stop her removal from oce. Her lawyer, Mr Kibe Mungai, argued that impeaching her alongside the governor was unlawful since there is no specic clause for the removal of a deputy governor.

He said the committee should expect preliminary objections to its proceedings.
They urged the 11 to rise above partisanship, avoid political overtones and the canvassing that is likely to arise and make the Senate proud. The County Government Act states that the committee must investigate and report to the Senate within 10 days on whether the allegations against the governor have substance.

In their statement, the leaders asked the police to release women and children arrested during the Sunday clashes. Muslims from Migori County also told the police to respect places of worship. Migori County Muslim Development Committee chairman Omar Hussein Ebrahim said the perception that Muslims were associated with terrorism is very wrong and disturbing.

Muslims for Peace and Community Development chairman Feisal Abdul Gatibaru criticised organisations such as the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya and Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims for failing to stop the propaganda for violence. One source, who spoke on condition of anonymity said: Meetings are frequently held where several youth and radical-minded people are invited. The meetings usually take place in upmarket private bungalows in Nyali, Tudor, Kizingo and even outside Mombasa. Most youths targeted are those from poor families. Those recruiting them approach their families with the agenda of teaching them religion and in turn, give the family between Sh40,000 and Sh80,000.

The agents target the young minds because it is easier to train and persuade them. Once the initial indoctrination is completed, the youths are then sent to Somalia to undergo military training under Al-Shabaab. Between 2004 and 2006, it earned an agent Sh10,000 to send a recruit to Somalia. These days, it has become hard to convince the boys since the Kenya Defence Forces went to Somalia so the package has increased to Sh100,000, said another source.

CESVI is an international NGO working to build the foundations of a child labour free Kenya. In 2013, it established a tripartite initiative to promote a CHILD LABOUR FREE CERTIFICATION for business companies to eradicate child labour from goods production, including in the supply chain where most of the 1.01 million child labourers in Kenya are found. With the Ministry of Labour, the Federation of Kenya Employers and COTU who are partners of the Certification process, we are proud to announce the AWARD of the first CHILD LABOUR FREE CERTIFICATION to compliant companies in Kenya on 5th February 2014, at the presence of the Tripartite Initiative representatives. Awarded companies enjoy a competitive advantage in the local and global market by Enhancing ethical image and brand reputation Improving the CSR strategy Increasing the certified products value Building transparency and trust among partners and consumers Supporting better supply chain management and performance Providing more demand for goods by socially responsible manufacturers and buyers Enhancing compliance with local and international legislation Improving relationships with the Government, Trade Unions, NGOs and local communities.
Former presidential candidate James ole Kiyiapi has cautioned the government against ignoring growing political restlessness. Speaking at Poroko in Trans Mara, Prof Kiyiapi (above) cited accusations that the government was slowly killing devolution, and the scandal around the railway project, which he noted had elicited anger from both sides of the ruling coalition. He said dierences in the Jubilee Government had been precipitated by impatience over the sharing of key positions, deep disagreements on procurement and disbursement of funds to counties.

HIGHER EDUCATION
INVESTIGATION | Higher education quality regulator warns prospective students that degree certicates obtained through short-
for students have devised a system through which those who failed are put through a three-month programme and afterward oered straight entry to an undergraduate degree programme. However, Commission for Higher Education (CUE) secretary David Some said yesterday that degrees obtained through such means were not worth the paper they were written on. The commission, he said, was aware of many private universities that had admitted unqualied students. Such graduates would be shocked when they seek jobs in public oces as their degrees would not be endorsed, he warned. It means that those in universities studying for degree courses but scored C plain or below and did not rst go through government-endorsed certicate and diploma courses are in for a rude shock. That is the law, that is the regulation, that is the standard and that is the policy, according to our Constitution and even international standards, said Prof Some. The head of the education standards council said many institutions of higher learning had devised mechanisms
Rude shock
of duping Kenyans that they can offer short pre-university courses for prospective students who scored less than C+. That is wrong because we will declare the certicates null and void, he said. These are just ways of looking for money but then as a commission, we are guided by the law and as long as that is the case, then all those who did not meet the prerequisite conditions stand to lose. Prof Some was categorical that the only recognised path for those who did not score the minimum grade of C+ and wanted to pursue degree courses was to rst undertake a minimum three-year diploma course, acquire work experience then proceed to undertake a degree course. Most Kenyans like taking short-cuts but it is only good that those who know this follow the rightful procedure to avoid future tears when one is seeking a public job, he stated. Those who may want to become governors, MPs and President are among those whose papers could be rejected once the commissions turn to vet them comes, he said. Anything less than the required route is a total waste of money that will later come to haunt many of us.
With a KCSE certicate of C- the Nation was oered a chance, for a former candidate, in most of the private universities. All that the candidate was asked to pay was Sh50,000 to gain admission to a threemonth programme. Most of the private institutions asked for a Sh1,000 admission fee and in less than ve minutes, the candi-
date would be on the route to acquiring a university degree in less than four years. This was possible due to the pre-university programme for those who failed to reach the direct university entry grade of C+. At Presbyterian University, armed with the C KCSE certicate, the Nation was advised that the student we were applying for would be admitted despite the low marks. He would be required to go through the pre-university course at the institutions Kikuyu campus and then join a one-year diploma course before proceeding to a degree course for two years. The pre-university course entails tuition on Mathematics, English, two science subjects and a bit of introduction to psychology. At Mt Kenya University, a student with a C is required to undertake a certicate course for six months. On completion, the student is admitted for a diploma course which takes one year. The learner will then join an undergraduate course of choice for two and half years. In total, therefore, a student who failed in KCSE is able to have a degree in four years. At Kenya Methodist University, all the Nation investigators needed was to apply for the pre-university course. The United States International University would only admit a student with a C for a degree course after he or she has undertaken a pre-university course from a number of universities they recommend. Most of the institutions agreed to admit a C (minus) student on condition he or she completes the pre-university
course and scores a GPA mark of above 2.5. That guarantees admission on the spot. However, in one of the colleges, the student would still be ineligible for admission to sciences like medicine. You can take the other business related programmes like Bachelor in Business Management or art-oriented programmes just like any other, said an ocial from one of the universities who spoke on condition of anonymity. Recently, employers complained that students coming out of universities in Kenya were half-baked and could not perform essential functions of the course they studied in the university. CUE chairman Henry Thairu said the agency was faced with a delicate balancing act between ensuring that quality education was available in Kenya without denying people the right to pursue their dreams. Those who have not managed to score the requisite grade of a C+ or above should not be condemned entirely but should be afforded the opportunity to access higher education, he said. Access and relevance are really the universal benchmarks of a mature education system and as an institution, our intention is really to ensure even the pre-university programmes are not diluted only to serve the cause for money, said Prof Thairu. The charges for this pre-university course ranges between Sh55,000 to Sh60,000 at different universities. A student with a GPA score of more than 2.5, the equivalent of a C + is guaranteed a place in the undergraduate class despite the KCSE grade.

lans to establish an International Crimes Division of the High Court are picking speed with the ongoing talks aimed at nalising the propos-
hen the dust raised by the controversy over the standard gauge railway saga settles, it is imperative that we start a national conversation on the whole concept of tied aid. These are cases where lender countries insist that the infrastructure projects they nance must be awarded to construction companies from their countries. By the logic of tied aid, the standard gauge railway project had to go to a Chinese company since our hands were tied by the fact that 85 per cent of the money was going to come from China. Tied aid is not a Chinese phenomenon. As a matter of fact, literally every Western donor has its own institution they have set up to create work in developing countries for their own companies. As beggars, we cannot choose. However, we must at all times insist on basic minimum conditions of transparency in dealing with lending nations. Some of the questions we must ask are: First, where is the transparency in accepting a feasibility study done on the basis of terms of reference written by the contractor doing the job? I think the parliamentary committees investigating the standard gauge railway project should engage an
Although railway project is tied aid, basic rules of transparency still apply W
independent railway engineering consultancy rm to interrogate the issue of cost. If Chinese construction companies are that good, why did we not allow more of them to compete for the railway project? And who said that a government-to-government deal meant that we are obliged to give the contract to China Roads and Bridges Corporation? I ask this question because I have seen many cases where government-togovernment deals have been subjected to open competitive bidding. Two years ago, the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) negotiated a government-to-government deal with India, where the Exim Bank of India extended loans to Kenya to nance the building of new electricity transmission lines. As usual, the condition of this loan was that construction must be done by Indian companies. Ketraco placed an advertisement in the newspapers inviting Indian companies to bid for the job. Then there was the case where the Japanese extended a Sh16 billion loan to fund the building of a second container terminal in Mombasa. Only Japanese companies were allowed to compete for the job. Again, the Kenya Ports Authority put out tenders inviting Japanese construction companies to come up with bids. Why did we bend the rules to accommodate the Chinese in the case of the standard gauge railway project? Indeed, there are several cases where Chinese companies have had to ght it out for projects in this country. I still remember the erce battle last year between the Chinese companies ZTE and Huawei for the multi-billion-shilling police telecommunications project. Then there is the development of a green-eld airport terminal at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. This project, currently under consideration for Chinese export buyers credits, was competitively procured through an open tender. Chinese companies ercely fought for the project. Another mega project that was targeted by the Chinese is the building of the Lamu Port. This project was competitively procured, with the China Communications Construction Company winning the tender at Sh41 billion. The government has applied for a Chinese Exim Bank loan of $700 million to nance the project. Ahead of President Kenyattas visit to Beijing last year, Mining Cabinet secretary Najib Balala signed a memorandum of understanding with China Geotechnical Exploration Technology of Jiansi in which the Chinese rm will map the countrys mineral resources. Although, the Chinese contractor has been single-sourced, the project will be nanced through a fully-funded grant from the Chinese Government. Where a foreign government gives a full grant to nance a project, as was the case with the Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital in Nairobi, we must allow the person who pays the piper to call the tune. But where billions in public resources are to be spent, as is the case with the standard gauge railway project, competitive bidding and independently conducted feasibility studies and designs should be mandatory. jkisero@ke.nationmedia.com

ust before the turn of the new millennium, a prominent human rights advocate stopped by to brief me on his eorts to create an international criminal court. The world needed an impartial, truly global tribunal to prosecute crimes against humanity. How else would we punish and in the future deter perpetrators of such horrors as Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia? I admired the mans zeal and his idealism. Yet I was wary. Such crimes are almost always shaped by context and seldom occur in the abstract. What of Winston Churchill, I asked, the wartime British prime minister responsible for the gratuitous re-bombing of Dresden? Or Harry S. Truman, who ordered the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The answer was unambiguous: Both were war criminals who should be in the dock. Let us be realistic: There is a deep disconnect here. Justice is a noble ideal but when abstraction collides with pragmatism, the latter generally prevails. Such is the case with the International Criminal Court today, scarcely 12 years old and already failing. To date, 122 countries have signed the Rome Statute, including all of South America, most of Europe, and roughly half the countries of

was acquitted, prompting an immediate appeal by the prosecutor, also indenitely pending. In early 2005, the ICC indicted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and six others for crimes against humanity in Darfur. Nearly a decade later, nothing has happened. In Cote dIvoire, former president Laurent Gbagbo was accused of war crimes in the countrys 2010-11 civil war and remanded in ICC custody. Nearly three years later, he is yet to be charged. In Kenya, the case against President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto, has degenerated into farce. Put aside claims that it was carelessly brought. In January, the prosecutor asked for an indenite deferral, citing lack of evidence. Witnesses on both sides recanted previous testimony. Under cross examination, one confessed to being paid by the prosecution as well as forging hotel receipts and other expenses covered by the court. The abrupt resignation of a leading judge, last week, reects the fecklessness of the proceedings. Some at the court hope Mr Kenyatta never comes to trial for fear he would be acquitted so resoundingly as to deal a fatal blow to the ICCs credibility. Many believe the tribunal is overtly politicised, with a
built-in bias against Africans. Others accuse it of being strong against weak countries and weak against strong ones. In Western capitals, especially, the trade-o between peace and justice is glossed over as a false choice: There is no peace without justice, no justice without peace, as the clich goes. In less stable parts of the world, however, peace and justice may not be so easily compatible, at least simultaneously. There is a place for a more nuanced brand of transitional justice, says Mehari Taddele Maru, an Ethiopian research fellow at the NATO Defense College. Advocating justice is one thing; understanding the regional dynamics of peace and local priorities is another. A substantial majority of Africans continue to support the ICC. And why not? Power-hungry politicians and rapacious warlords have claimed millions of innocent victims. The last thing most Africans want is impunity for the perpetrators of such crimes. The world needs an international criminal court. It just needs a better court than this one.

WAS THIS A CON? A medical consultant, Dr T. T. Gachuiri, says he was approached by a fellow who claimed he was from Safaricom and that he could help him set up a Lipa na M-Pesa account. He liked the idea, paid up, and was allocated an account number on January 28. Though he started using the number immediately, he claims the account was never activated and thus he has ended up losing some money. His contact is ruiruimaging@ gmail.com. TEACH MOTHER TONGUE. A most disgusting sight, says Dave Mungai, is seeing parents struggling to make their little children speak in a foreign tongue such as English. And it gets even more ridiculous, he adds, when those same parents will be conversing in a language they refuse to teach those children. You feel sorry for the young ones at a family gathering. Our mother tongues are just as important as other languages. His contact is mickeyngugi06@gmail.com. ROAD WITHOUT SIGNS.

s a political cause of greater value than life? Well, George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, while reecting on the French Revolution, thought so and even suggested that for such a cause, man was willing to die. Others argue that before man is willing to die for political gain, he is willing to kill for it. Id rather die than resign is the much publicised response of one of our politicians who was under pressure to take responsibility for his actions. However, when pushed further, he decided that it was not a worthy enough cause to die for and decided to resign. Nelson Mandela surprised everyone, including his defence team, when he boldly told the court in the Rivonia trial that ghting for the rights of his people was an ideal that he hoped to live for and to achieve but if needs be, it was an ideal for which he was willing to die. History the world over is replete with deadly violence as the dening factor for political progress, from conquest to revolutions, world wars, and terrorist attacks. As long as violence can achieve political goals, it has been employed all over the world. However, the frequency with which violence is being employed to achieve political goals in Africa is worrying and requires keen scrutiny. Can there be another overriding catalyst to the violence in the Central Africa Republic, South Sudan,
cal violence by attempting to identify the persons bearing the greatest responsibility for political violence, this shift still remains disputed by most observers and commentators. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has not helped the matter as it has insisted on using tribe, community, and national labels as exhibits of incriminating evidence against persons it charges for political violence. Even though the ICC suggests that tribal conict in the case of Kenya was employed for purposes of gaining political oce, it does not explain how personal political ambition is the overriding catalyst of politically motivated violence. This typology strengthens the common goal of political violence and concomitantly weakens individual, personal responsibility. Personal gratication has wrested the power to monopolise violence from the state. In Kenya, the violence that rocked the country after the 2007 elections is said to have occurred because state structures were weak and/or unwilling to intervene. This characterisation of the state as weak in the face of violence gives credence to the notion of the power of individual perpetrators usurping the state as the sole holder of monopoly of violence.

Mother tongue use will uplift education standards
Research by linguists shows that when it comes to learning a second language, it is crucial to rst have a solid foundation in ones mother tongue. This shows that several years of mother tongue lead to a better grasp of second language later in life. It is on this basis that I support the Ministry of Educations new directive on vernacular use in lower primary. Those protesting against the directive are not genuine. If we believe English prociency is important for successful participation in the economy, then we surely must embrace mother tongue as a rst language. This is the only way education standards will improve. CARREN CHELANGAT, Nairobi

TALKING POINT
SHORT TAKES
PRIDE OR SLAVERY?: I live abroad but Im proud of the Kenyan ag. However, the senseless bureaucratic slavery surrounding the ag amazes me. A friend was recently harassed by police in Nairobi for placing the ag on his dashboard. Just a few days ago, some police ocers were reportedly in trouble from their seniors for allowing a church to y the national ag after 6pm. Should we love our country by day and loathe it by night? It is hard to fathom how someones love for his national ag should land him in trouble. JOSEPH OBOK OWITI, Seoul PARTIES CASH: The High Court ruling that only parties which garnered at least ve per cent of the total votes cast in the last general elections should get government funding is welcome. With the already strained economy, the government must not be forced into committing funds to parties that have little, if not negligible, political representation. Such parties are usually formed by greedy persons seeking individual political relevance. It may as well be a good idea to stop registration of new political parties for a while. OMONDI JERRY, Nairobi DUBIOUS PRACTICE: The decision by trac police to mount roadblocks outside popular pubs at night and subject motorists who come out of these joints to blow into a device to gauge their alcohol levels is primitive and should be outlawed. In civilised societies, a motorist is only stopped when one is suspected to be driving under the inuence by either driving too fast or failing to control the car. Many drivers are teetotallers, hence not all motorists should be treated like drunkards. This is humiliating. JUSTIN N NKARANGA, Mombasa CASH GUZZLERS: There are many ways in which monies collected through taxes in Kenya is diverted to causes that are not worthy. We have a horde of nominated county representatives, senators and MPs. Our Constitution allows these nominations because that is what the politicians, not wananchi, wanted. The same Constitution allows the funding of political parties because the politicians wanted it that way. Im sure most Kenyans will agree with me that these nominated leaders serve no purpose other than to draw huge salaries funded by millions of poor Kenyans. GITHUKU MUNGAI, Nairobi

In any case, upon employment teachers commit themselves to serve in any part of the republic where their services are required.

ance. Signicantly, the bulk of the transfers are carried out at the end of the year to avoid disrupting learning and allow those aected time to settle. Finally, teachers and other stakeholders should rest assured that even in making decisions on deployment, transfer and promotion, the reward system takes into account the nature of school and its learners, performance in co-curricular activities and other social, economic and environmental factors, not just examination results.

Investigations completed
270,000
The amount of money in shillings a man is said to have obtained from a Nakuru farmer by pretending he could sell her livestock spray
oppose their release on bond as investigations had been completed. In the same court, a man was charged with obtaining Sh270,000 from a farmer by pretences. Mr Francis Njenga is accused of defrauding Ms Nancy Njeri between December 11, last year, and January 30, this year, at Nakurus Oginga Odinga Street.
He denied the charges when he appeared before Mr Mungai. The court was told that Mr Njenga with others obtained the cash claiming that they could sell the complainant 45 litres of a livestock spray. The accused denied committing the oence and was freed on a bond of Sh100,000 and a surety in similar amount. The case will be heard on March 28, this year.
he Treasury has delayed the release of funds for constituencies, threatening to stall vital projects across the country. The board in charge of the Constituency Development Fund yesterday said it had only received Sh5.4 billion (23 per cent) of the Sh23 billion allocated to it this nancial year, adding that the Treasury was yet to respond to its request for more money. Only 177 constituencies out of 290 have received the money leaving others without funds to nance projects. Appearing before the CDF parliamentary committee yesterday, the boards acting chief executive ocer Yusuf Mbuno said they had run out of funds, putting the projects in jeopardy. We do not have more money to disburse to the remaining constituencies, said the chief executive ocer.
The Constitution does not recognise this animal called Constituency Development Fund
Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution chairman Charles Nyachae
said Homabay Town MP Peter Kaluma, a member of the committee, during the meeting held in Protection House Nairobi. Over Sh851 million has not been spent this year. Meanwhile, the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution chairman Charles Nyachae has said that CDF should be scrapped. The fund violates every aspect of the Constitution, he added. The law only recognises two levels of government that should receive funding from the Treasury the national and county governments. It does not recognise this animal called Constituency Development Fund, he said during a visit to Migori County. He also urged county governments to form a mechanism under a summit to handle conicts between national and county governments.
Illegal fund
The board has also given Sh2 million to 72 constituencies of the remaining 113 to run constituency oces. The other 41 are yet to receive a coin this nancial year. According to Mr Mbuno, the board should have received over Sh10 billion by the end of the second quarter in December. However, the cash has not been transferred. The committee chairman Moses Lessonet asked the boards CEO if he had asked the Treasury to release the remaining allocation. There are several projects which risk stalling because of this delay. This should be sorted out soon. We do not want a situation where projects are left hanging,

n appeal against Mombasa governor Ali Hassan Johos election victory was dealt a blow yesterday after the Supreme Court declared it was premised on a warped interpretation of the law. This means Mr Johos political rival, Suleiman Shahbals case which was pending in Malindi against the Governor and his deputy Hazel Nyamoki, cannot proceed following the verdict delivered yesterday in Nairobi. In the ruling, the court also provided guidelines on ling of election petitions by stating and clarifying that they ought to be led as soon as the results are declared. The court said that the 28-day timeline within which the petitions should be led, strictly commenced as soon as the returning ocer announced the results. The decision which was in respect to an appeal filed by Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho against challenger Mr Shahbal and the electoral commission, was in contrast to the previous position held by the High Court and Court of Appeal that petitions could be led 28 days from date of gazettement. But soon after the ruling, Mr Shahbal issued a press statement saying that although he respected the decision of the court, he did not agree with the outcome. We wish to point out that this sets out a very bad precedent where returning ocers could be bribed or coerced to declare the wrong candidates as winners and set up long, time wasting and expensive court battles, he said.

Mombasa Governor Hassan Ali Joho leaves the Mombasa Law Courts after he testied in the election petition led against him by Mr Suleiman Shahbal in September last year. The Supreme Court ruled on the petition led by Mr Joho yesterday.
inconsistent, hence the High Court did not have any jurisdiction to hear the petition. While allowing the appeal, Justices Kalpana Rawal, Philip Tunoi, Mohammed Ibrahim, Jackton Ojwang and Njoki Ndungu held that Section 76 was inconsistent with Article 87 of the Constitution, and therefore a nullity. Mr Joho, through his lawyers, argued that Section 76 was inconsistent with Article 87 because it introduced the element of publication of results in the gazette whereas the Constitution simply provided for ling an election petition 28 days after declaration of the results by the IEBC. When the application was argued in the High Court, Mr Justice Fred Ochieng declined to strike out the petition, ruling that Section 76 was inconsistent with Article 87 and recommended an amendment to the either of the two statutes and declined to strike out the petition. Mr Joho then moved to the Court of Appeal and appellate judges Erastus Githinji, Milton Makhandia and Fatuma Sichale also declined to strike out the petition, although they diered with the High Court and stated that the two statutes were not in conict with each other and consequently set aside the ruling order requiring the AG to amend Section 76 or Article 87. Yesterday however, the Supreme Court said that the Court of Appeal judges did not evaluate and consider all provisions of the Constitution and Elections Act and regulations.

NAIROBI | Assembly threatens to challenge Controller of Budget directive opposing development expense
all its revenue to be used in nancing development projects in all the 85 wards in the county. If the Bill passed and signed into law by the Governor, Dr Evans Kidero, is implemented, each of the 85 wards will therefore get Sh16 million. According to the Bill, the revenue is to be used in projects identied by a ward development committee presided over by the areas member of the County Assembly. The commencement date is the next nancial year which starts this July. But Ms Odhiambo threw a spanner into the works by saying she would not approve such expenses when the county presents its budget because it was against the law. Yesterday, Assembly Majority Leader Elias Otieno said they would move to court once the Controller ofcially communicates to the county on the matter. Mr Otieno argued that the Assembly had the right to pass laws it deemed t for development in the county. The duty of interpreting the law is not for the Controller of Budget but the CIC and the courts. We are waiting for ocial communication

from her to enable us move to court to challenge that, Mr Otieno said on the phone. Dr Kidero said he will meet Ms Odhiambo over issues she had raised
on administration of the fund. The county government emergency fund, bursary and ward fund will all be administered by the executive member for Finance. I will be meeting Ms Odhiambo to explain this to her, he said yesterday. The communications officer at the Controller of Budget oce, Mr Stephen Wangaji, said Ms Odhiambo was only concerned with the Bill to the extent that it was against the law. Mr Wangaji said there was a conict of interest as the MCAs who passed the law cannot be the same people to preside over the fund. The problem with the Bill is that the same people who passed the bill are the same ones who will preside over the fund which is a conict of interest. They may have to work out a way to ensure it conforms to the Constitution, he said. The Bill, a brain child of one of the members, Mr Njoroge Maina, says its purpose is to ensure a specic portion of the countys budget is devoted to wards for purposes of development and in particular, ght poverty.

However, spokesmen of the Marmanet forest settlers insisted yesterday that they have genuine land ownership documents issued by the government. Mr John Barno and Pastor Stephen Rugwist said the forest settlers held title deeds for the individual parcels of land they occupy. They said they had been living on the land for many years.

county were admitted to local schools. The number of students from other counties admitted to Nyeri schools is above the 40 per cent prescribed in the selection guidelines, argued Mr Gikonyo. He said that 1,570 students from other regions were admitted to the countys schools and only 320 from Nyeri were admitted to schools outside the county. Mr Gikonyo told Judge James Wakiaga that the selection was against the expectation of residents and students of host districts who he said have contributed money to put up the schools and equip them. There is no logic in 12 students from Nyeri central district joining Nyeri High School and one from Mukurweini joining South Tetu Girls, where the schools are located, he said. Mr Gikonyo told the court the selection was not based on merit adding that two students from other counties who scored 211 and 219 marks in KCPE were admitted in the two high performing schools. He added that no student from the county with such marks was admitted to schools in other counties. Mr Justice Wakiaga summoned the Education Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary to appear in court today.

Mr Hichilema is a frightened little man who has realised that he is carrying the burning Sun on his back especially with the UPNDs dwindling political fortunes, but wants to disguise his leadership failures through reckless, alarming and abdominal utterances over the Presidents health,said the statement issued by President Satas spokesperson George Chellah late Monday.

The statement said there was need to respect our systems of governance instead of embarrassing ourselves on the international platform through such empty and petty political discourse. Last month, police arrested and charged an opposition leader with defamation, after he compared President Sata to a potato. Mr Frank Bwalya, head of the Alliance for a Better Zambia, allegedly referred to president Sata as Chumbu Mushololwa during a live radio broadcast. The Bemba term literally refers to a sweet potato that breaks when it is bent and is used to describe someone who does not heed advice.

he landmark trial of a former Rwandan army captain charged with complicity in the genocide that left 800,000 dead opened today in Paris, the rst of its kind in France. Hailing it as history being made albeit late Rwandas justice minister welcomed the opening of the trial of Pascal Simbikangwa nearly 20 years after the 100-day genocide shocked the world. The case of Simbikangwa (pictured) who denies all accusations against him is being closely watched in France, which has long been accused of failing to rein in the Rwandan regime at the time of the genocide in 1994. The trial began with an immediate request from Simbikangwas lawyers for the case to be dismissed. One of them, Alexandra Bourgeot, said the case could not be treated fairly because of the inequality of power between the prosecution and defence. Mr Simbikangwas lawyers said they did not have the means to properly defend him and had not even been able to visit Rwanda to verify prosecution evidence. The 54-year-old defendant appeared in court in a wheelchair after a 1986 car accident that left him a paraplegic. He faces life in prison.
Arrested in 2008 on the French Indian Ocean island of Mayotte, he is accused of inciting, organising and aiding massacres during the genocide, particularly by supplying arms and instructions to militia who were manning road blocks and killing Tutsi men, women and children. I was a captain in the Rwandan army then in the intelligence services, Simbikangwa, a small, bald man wearing a brown jacket and white tracksuit bottoms, told the court in a brief opening statement. After his arrest, France refused to extradite him to Rwanda, as it has done in previous cases, and decided to try him under laws that allow French courts to consider cases of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in other countries. Rwandan Justice Minister Johnston Busingye welcomed the opening of the trial. It is history being made. We have always wondered why it has taken 20 years... it is late, but it is a good sign, he said. The trial is expected to last six to eight weeks and, in a rare case for France, will be filmed, with recordings available once the case is concluded. (AFP)

RULES | Ocials said they will not allow the establishment of refugees camps, saying they learnt from Darfur experience
nited Nations ocials in Sudan have praised the humanitarian efforts exerted by the local authorities to shelter and feed South Sudanese refugees and oered to support its work, as they are not directly involved in the relief operation. Since the beginning of the armed conict in South Sudan last December, Sudan said it was ready to receive South Sudanese refugees and expressed willingness to provide them with the needed humanitarian support, before they move to settle in its different regions without restriction. However Sudanese ocials said they will not allow the establishment of refugees camps, saying they learnt from Darfur experience that such sites can be easily transformed into basis of political activities.
In addition, only local aid groups are allowed to manage transitional camps in the border states. In a joint statement yesterday, UN resident and humanitarian coordinator, Ali Al-Zatari and the head of UN refugees agency UNHCR in Sudan, Angela Li Rosi welcomed the commitment of the Government of Sudan to provide international protection and humanitarian assistance to South Sudanese. Citing humanitarian agencies,
We welcome commitment of the Government of Sudan to provide international protection and humanitarian assistance to South Sudanese
Ms Angela Li Rosi, head of UN refugees agency UNHCR in Sudan
UN OCHA said in its last weekly bulletin that, about 22,200 South Sudanese nationals crossed into the neighbouring Sudan. Sudanese government set up a committee chaired by the Commission of Refugees (COR), to manage and coordinate assistance to those who ee the armed conict in South Sudan. The Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) and Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) as well as other government agencies are members of this body. The UNHCR provided 1,000 non-food supply kits, 400 for White Nile State and 600 for Heglig in West Kordofan State. This material is distributed by the SRCS which in addition has dispatched 1,000 non-food items and 200 tents from its own stocks to White Nile. The Red Crescent, on the other hand, deployed a set of equipment to provide clean water - to a reception centre in Joda area in the White Nile. In addition, they have distributed food donated by the HAC to the affected families in the same area. (Sudan Tribune)

ORDEAL | He lived for 13 months adrift in the Pacic on a diet of raw bird esh, turtle blood and his own urine
BRIEFLY
DHAKA
MOSCOW
castaway who says he survived 13 months adrift in the Pacic said today he thought about suicide but was sustained by dreams of eating his favourite food tortillas and reuniting with his family. Fisherman Jose Salvador Alvarenga also described being forced to dump the body of his teenage companion overboard when he starved to death, but said his own strong religious faith helped as he drifted some 12,500 kilometres from Mexico to the Marshall Islands. I didnt want to die of starvation, he told AFP through a Spanish interpreter at Majuro Hospital, where he is recuperating
after being found disoriented last Thursday at a remote coral atoll. There were times I would think about killing myself. But I was scared to do it, he added, raising his arm, pointing to heaven and declaring: God! Faith! The stockily built Alvarenga looked in remarkably good physical shape when he arrived in the Marshalls capital Majuro ve days after landing on the remote Ebon Atoll. Sporting a bushy beard and with his hair bleached a ginger colour by the sun, he was helped down the gangplank by a male nurse but he did not appear to have chapped lips, blistered skin or other signs of severe exposure. He looked better than one would expect, US ambassador Thomas Armbruster said on Monday after acting as an interpreter for the Marshallese authorities. However, extraordinary feats of survival are not uncommon in the
Feats of survival
Pacic. Three Mexicans washed up in the Marshalls in 2006 after nine months adrift. Speaking from hospital Mr Alvarenga said: My dream for over a year is to eat a tortilla, chicken and so many other types of food. I would imagine and dream a lot about my family my mother and my father, he said. Mr Alvarenga said he was not married but has a daughter named Fatima. His parents feared he had been killed. Thank God he is alive. We are overjoyed... I just want him here with us, his mother Maria Julia Alvarenga told CNN in his homeland El Salvador, whose government says it is working with Mexico to bring him home. Mr Alvarenga said he set out on a one-day shing expedition in late December 2012 with a
teenager named Xiguel, when they became lost in their sevenmetre breglass boat. We had just nished a day of shark shing when the motor died. I couldnt get a radio signal, and meanwhile there was a wind that pushed us further out. The 37-year-olds mood darkened as he described how the boy, who he says was aged 15-18, died four months into their voyage, unable to survive on a diet of raw bird esh, turtle blood and his own urine. He couldnt keep the raw food down and he kept vomiting, Alvarenga said. I tried to get him to hold his nose and eat but he kept vomiting. He said the teenager died of starvation and he pushed his body into the ocean. What else could I do? (AFP)

State opts not to inject fresh capital in KenGens cash call
The government will instead convert what the power generator owes it to equity
BY ZEDDY SAMBU
zsambu@ke.nationmedia.com he government will not inject fresh capital in KenGen during the planned rights issue, Energy Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir has said. Instead, the state, which holds a 70 per cent stake in the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE)-listed rm, will convert part of a debt that KenGen owes the government into equity. At the moment the electricity generator owes the government a total of Sh27 billion. We will propose to the Cabinet to allow government to convert its debt to equity, Mr Chirchir said in an interview. At an annual general meeting held in December, shareholders approved a proposal to raise Sh15 billion through a rights issue and an additional Sh15 billion through debt. To keep a hold of its 70 per cent stake, the government needs to inject about Sh11 billion. The rights issue is planned to be concluded before June. The equity we are looking to raise needs to come in before we borrow. We could also invite a strategic investor, said KenGen managing director, Mr Albert Mugo. The money will be used to fast-rack its multibillion shilling projects in power production. A consortium led by Barclays, Dyer and Blair Investment Bank, KPMG and law rm Hamilton Harrison & Mathews currently arranging a Sh430 billion ($5 billion) through bonds and loans will shepherd the cash call. Among the projects lined up are two coal plants at Lamu and Kituis Mui Basin area, the grand 280MW geothermal project and some 100MW

and services in the industry. Despite reforms in the Value Added Tax (VAT) law last year, she said, there remains a lot of ambiguity in the industry. Further, she said, property buyers are paying more as developers oset the costs associated with the slow pace of land reforms. Ms Emerson asked the government to boost allocations made to the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development as well as the Lands Commission in order to address these issues. Developers are interacting with a ministry that is not able to carry out its functions optimally, said Ms Emerson. Zimele Asset Managers, on the other hand, noted that reforms need to be effected to make it easier for Kenyans to save to build homes.
of wind power near the border of Meru and Isiolo counties. Overall, the power rm seeks to generate an extra 700 units of power within three years with the Olkaria geothermal plant set to be completed by the second quarter of 2014. Current peak power demand is 1,800MW against KenGens installed capacity of 1,250MW with additional energy obtained from the costlier diesel-powered generators, which currently account for a quarter of the electricity production market. Under an ambitious programme, the government seeks to add 5,000 megawatts of mainly geothermal, coal and Liqueed Natural Gas energy to the national grid to cut use of the
costly diesel engines. We plan to double the installed capacity and aim for a 40 per cent

FISHING | Traders face shortage
Traders scramble for meagre sh catch from a boat at Chuoye beach, Homa-Bay County. The falling stocks are inadequate to supply the ever-rising demand, resulting in shermen increasing prices.
SUGGESTIONS The observation by Mr Nsibirwa comes against the backdrop of plans by counties to sell their own coee, sidestepping multinationals that dominate the market. Most coffee in Kenya by small-scale farmers is sold through coee societies at the Nairobi Coee Exchange. The global rms have vowed to resist the move by six counties Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Muranga, Meru, Kiambu and Embu to jointly sell their produce. This promises to radically change cofee marketing but is opposed by dealers.

Youve attended many interviews and you are advancing to the next round of the selection process. You may be tempted to focus your attention on only one or two of the recruiting companies. This is not wise. Attend all the interviews youve been invited for with equal interest. Do not fail to pursue a vacancy just because you are receiving signals that you may get the other job. Only reject an offer after youve accepted another. You could, at the last minute, be dropped out of the race for the job you are keen on.
If your email address reads something like cooljoe@.com or betty_sweet@.com, dont submit it as a contact address in your job application. It could ruin your chances of success.

BASKETBALL | Detroit team feels the heat
riod with a three-pointer that launched a 14-5 Heat scoring run. A three-pointer and a driving hook shot by Wade stretched Miamis lead to 100-85 with 3:41 remaining, and an 11-2 scoring run to nish the game by Detroit wasnt enough. Following a nice showing against the New York Knicks on Saturday, Wade was simply brilliant in 37 minutes, hitting 68 percent of his shots while grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out ve assists. It was Wades second 30-point outing of the season.
Double gures
LeBron James was sensational in the win, as well, and nished two rebounds shy of a triple-double with a line of 24 points (9-of-19 shooting), 11 assists and eight rebounds. Chris Bosh was the only other Heat player to nish in double gures and poured in 17 points on 5-of-8 shooting while hauling in seven rebounds. The Pistons were dominant on the glass from start to nish, edging out Miami by seven rebounds total and nine on the oensive boards, but their oense sputtered thanks to a regular dose of long-range jumpers and too many unforced errors.

level on points with City, two points shy of leaders Arsenal. Mourinho later described his side as the little horse in the Premier League title race despite their impressive success. Asked if the duel for the title was a three-horse race, he replied: Two horses and a little horse, that still needs milk and to learn how to jump. A horse that next season can race. Enjoyed majority of possession When it was put to him that Chelsea at the very least stood a chance of winning the league, he replied: I dont agree. We lost points at home against West Brom, against West Ham, we lost at Stoke, we lost at Newcastle. We are a team in evolution, but this is the kind of performance that helps the team to grow up a lot. Tactically, mentally, I think it was fantastic. City had won all 11 of their previous home games in the league, scoring 42 goals, and had won 17 of their 18 matches at the Etihad in all competitions, losing only to European champions Bayern Munich in the Champions League. They enjoyed the majority of possession against Chelsea, but it was the visitors who possessed the greater cutting edge. Having weathered early pressure from the home side, Chelsea took the lead in the 32nd minute when Serbian defender Ivanovic bludgeoned home a low drive and the visitors went on to hit the woodwork on three occasions. Citys preparations were upset by the loss of Brazilian holding midelder Fernandinho to injury, with Argentine centre-back Martin Demichelis proving an unsteady replacement. The hosts were also without midelders Samir Nasri and Javi Garcia and top scorer Sergio Aguero due to injury, and manager Manuel Pellegrini felt that their absences were telling. Of course, (Fernandinho) is a very important player for us, he said. (AFP)

WORKING HARD
There was no parked bus by Chelsea; Mourinho left the handbrake o and it rolled down over City
Stu Brennans match report for M.E.N Sport: There was no parked bus by Chelsea; Mourinho left the handbrake o and it rolled down and over City in the rst half. They defended in numbers, hunted the ball in packs, pressing high, and also countered in numbers, pouring forward. Henry Winter, Telegraph: City, in stark contrast, looked like a side that had forgotten they had scored four goals or more on 14 dierent occasions this season. They badly missed Sergio Agero and Fernandinho but their shortcomings were considerable and a jolting night has heavy consequences for Manuel Pellegrinis side. Daniel Taylor, The Guardian: Unfortunately for Demichelis, at times in the rst half he was the proverbial shire horse sent out on the gallops with the chasers. The margins are so ne in these kind of games, when every shortcoming is exposed ruthlessly and every match-up nely balanced. He was found wanting. Chelsea absorbed all the City attacks they could which was by no means all of them - and then hit City hard on the counter. Sam Wallace, Independent: This team can be beaten. This team have weaknesses. That was Mourinhos message for the masses. Chelseas performance was an invitation for others to do the same, to get at Citys defence, to place obstacles in the path of that all-conquering mideld. What Mourinho proved was that if a coach can cause City as many problems as they are causing him, they are vulnerable. Martin Samuel, Daily Mail: Had Negredo, in the one moment he showed up, hit the target, had Toure got on the end of a move of the season contender which ended with Aleksandar Kolorav whistling through the six-yard box, had Silva swept in, rather than wide, from a Toure run and cross, it might, might, have been dierent. But even when they were on the ropes, Chelsea were counter-punching with power and penetration, a footballing equivalent of Muhammad Alis rope-a-dope tactic against George Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle. Martin Lipton, Mirror: This was no smash-and-grab tactical raid by Mourinho either, as his side hit the woodwork three times through Samuel Etoo, Neamanja Matic and Gary Cahill. They could, and should, have won by a greater margin.

enyans are yet to see the face of the digital government with more than half of ministry websites inaccessible, almost a year after Jubilee came to power. Besides the fuss of Twitter handles and Facebook pages operated by social media experts on behalf of some key government officials, a lot remains to be done to ease access to information by the public. A survey by the Nation yesterday showed that only eight out of the 18 ministries had working websites, with a smaller number showing proof of regular updates. The remaining 10 displayed an error message with attempts to refresh the pages bearing no fruit.
It is the irony of a government that ascended to power marketing itself as the digital team comprising young and tech-savvy leaders. It is true there are issues with most government ministries websites. Most of them are not accessible and those accessible are not in the best condition. This is something we realised last year and the process of overhauling them is almost complete, Mr Vic-
tor Kyalo, the acting chief executive ocer of the Information, Communication and Technology Authority (ICTA) said in an interview yesterday. Mr Kyalo said a team was formed in September last year to redo all the government websites and will complete its work by March. Information Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi (left) said the problem had been lack of coordinated eort by the government to harness the designing of its ocial websites, with ministries engaging private web developers individually. Before the ICTA was established; we had a situation best described as anarchy where some government websites were hosted by private players. The government also hired players to design and host websites and there was no coordination and certain websites were not seen as secure, said Dr Matiangi.

jobless than working as a cashier in your local supermarket. We fail to realise that sometimes you only need to stand wherever you are to be blessed. From that Thursday night after attending a conference where we were taught how to deliver an eective prayer, I came to realise that you dont pray and just wait for the answer to your prayer. There is a secret. Many of those who get their prayers answered take an extra step. They work on their prayer items as they wait for the answer. So, when I prayed for change, I changed my mind. I prayed for a miracle and realised that I have been the miracle all this while. I prayed for wealth and realised it was my health. I prayed for happiness and realised I am not my ego. I prayed for peace and learned to accept others unconditionally. I prayed for a soul mate and realised Im the one. I prayed for love and realised I only needed to let it in. I have since then learned to work on my realisations and when I sit, I count my blessings. When I stand, they overow. I hum more these days. Let us all learn to walk an extra mile to work hard on achieving our goals and dreams because its never too late to be what youve wished to be. It is said that some years ask questions and others give answers. May this year give answers to the questions of the past years. May it bind what the previous years broke in you, mend whats bruised in you, heal what is sick in you. May it revive whatever peace and love had died in you. Next time you pray, remember the answer is already within you. You only need to realise it and ask for its approval from above. May all the rightful prayers of your heart be answered.

and nose of an infected and infectious person. Leprosy is not very contagious. It is spread mostly by patients with the infectious variety, referred to as the multibacillary type. Most people (95 per cent) are naturally immune to leprosy. In those who develop the disease, progression from infection to leprosy symptoms is slow and can take from three to 20 years! While anyone can get leprosy, those at risk of infection are people in close contact with infectious persons, including those who are infected but yet to be diagnosed.

illian Wanja Kungu, 29, woke up in the wee hours to a chill in the air. It was not the usual early morning chill. It felt as if her bedroom had been hit by a cold snap. She wobbled out of bed, changed into her warmest nightdress, and wore her heaviest coat over it. She went back to bed, but the freezing would not stop. Then I started feeling a creeping backache. It was like a phantom. It came and went, and I couldnt tell whether it was in the spine or the muscles, she recalls. At some point, I thought, this is not normal. Maybe I should go to hospital, she recalls. Then she decided to wait it out at home. After all, she says, arent expectant women often taken to hospital and then turned away because it was a false alarm? But as she tried to soothe her discomfort and catch some sleep, she started feeling as though she had a running stomach. She got out of bed twice in 10 minutes to visit the toilet. As she crept out of bed the third time, her water broke. That is when it occurred to me oh my God! The baby is coming, she exclaims, her face looking surprised and bemused. This new 29-year-old mother is still amazed at the events of that morning.
DOCTORS OPINION
Although Lillians near-eortless delivery may seem unbelievable, Dr Wanyoike Gichuhi, an obstetrician and gynaecologist specialising in laparascopic surgery and infertility and operating from at Upperhill Medical Centre, says Lillians was precipitated labour. This is an abnormal delivery that results after unusually rapid labour (less than three hours) and culminates in the rapid, spontaneous expulsion of the infant. In these cases, the cervix just opens up and the baby comes out. The danger in such deliveries is that they often occur without the benet of asepsis (a sanitised environment). Most people who have precipitated labour are those who have had many children because the cervix has opened up a few times, says the doctor. It is not their wish that the birth happens this way. However, just because something turned out well for one patient does not mean it will turn out well for you and even for that patient during the next delivery, Dr Gichuhi cautions. Complications can arise at any moment. A pregnancy that has progressed without any apparent hitch can still give way to complications during delivery. He lists the risks as including excessive blood loss, infection, and babys health, which he names as the biggest obstetric killers. There may be infection as a result of unsterile delivery. The risks in deliveries that happen unaided is especially to mothers who deliver at home without attending antenatal clinic. Such mothers will not have received the anti-tetanus injection, which is usually given during the second trimester, so that even if they deliver away from the hospital, because the area is not sterile, both mother and baby are at risk of getting tetanus, says Dr Gichuhi. Worst still, he adds, if the cord breaks before it is tied or is improperly tied, the baby may bleed to death. If a mother is all alone, she may not know what to do. Also, in such cases because the labour is not monitored, you cant be too sure that the babys vitals are good. Theres the risk of getting birth asphyxia, which is when the baby does not get enough oxygen, heightening the risk of the baby getting brain damage, which leads to cerebral palsy. When you deliver in hospital, the baby is monitored during labour to ensure that its heart rate is normal. The other risk is postpartum haemorrhage. He says in hospital the mother gets an Oxytocin injection to stop bleeding. If you deliver away from a health facility, the uterus may not contract, leading to heavy bleeding. He advises that every mother keep a bag ready with a sterile blade and string to tie the cord in case of emergencies like Lillians.
She continues: I was half-standing and half-squatting. A push later and out pops the baby. At that moment, naturally, I had to gather all my wits to be in charge of what was happening. I held the babys head, positioning him properly so that he would lie on my palms. I told myself, I am having this baby right now , she explains. The baby was coming and I needed to hold it, and not panic. At that moment, she says, the thought that anything might go wrong never even crossed her mind. I never thought I needed to sit down and call someone. No! My thoughts were that this needs to happen right now. When I saw that the baby was nally out and he was making those squirmy noises thats when it really hit me that I was holding my own baby the baby I had just birthed myself. I didnt even check to see its gender. A frisson of surprise shot through her and she screamed for her mother, who was asleep in the next room. Apparently, the commotion of the birth had not even woken up her mother, the only other person in the house. She ran into the room to nd Lillian gingerly holding the baby, who was later named Judah Christopher, in her palms. In shock, she started rambling incoherently, recalls Lillian, whose eorts to calm her down failed. She had lost the presence of mind to know what to do to help her daughter.

companied. They teach you the basics. They also tell you what to do in case of an emergency. But when you go to a gynaecologist, theyll tell you things like when you feel this and that, call me or go to hospital and I will nd you there. So I had it at the back of my mind and I used to carry all that stu with me, she says. Right from the beginning, Lillian, an actuary with a well-paying job and still enjoying the support of her parents with whom she was staying at Kahawa West during the last days of her pregnancy, had chosen to go against the grain. She says she is concerned about how commercialised childbirth has become in Kenya. Hers was a step of faith. How many people can say they successfully birthed their own babies following only their own instincts? she muses, brimming with pride and a real sense of accomplishment. She says she did not have a designated gynaecologist, as has become the custom with many urban women. Lillian had done everything naturally right from the beginning, avoiding ultra-sound scans. At AMART clinic, all they did was feel the position of the baby with their bare hands. In fact, it was not until her last visit that her attendant at the clinic told her that the baby was in a breech position, and so a scan was necessary. It discounted the diagnosis, showing that the baby was in the right position, to Lillians relief. From the scan, I was told, the baby was really low and engaged, she recalls. But even in hindsight, Lillian says she cannot recall any clues that the baby was about to arrive. After the scan, she had been advised that the baby was not due until after two weeks. The due date had previously been scheduled two days later, on June 22, 2013. The new mother believes hers was the best birth and hopes to do the same with her other deliveries. She reckons that childbirth should be completely natural and that what is required is a relaxed mother who allows her body do the work without having to suer the terrible experience in
most hospitals, where there is a lot of unnecessary shouting and sometimes abuse directed at the mother, making the birthing experience a nasty one for many women. Modernity has changed the way childbirth is viewed, but Lillian believes that many women are robbed of the birthing experience by the commercialisation of obstetrics. She wishes that it could be stripped back to a simpler and more natural experience. When you think about it, all this makes a lot of sense. Pregnancy is not a disease, nor is childbirth a medical emergency, she argues. But how many other mothers would imagine following through with something like this just to give their baby the opportunity to enter the world at home during a normal and nonmedical birth? Most women can give birth perfectly well on their own without interference. Of course, some need a Caesarean section, some need extra medical care, but most do not. In fact, the trend in the UK and the US is to have home deliveries, says Dr Wanyoike Gichuhi, and obstetriciangynaecologist. However, that would be impossible in the Kenyan setup because of infrastructure hurdles, he observes. What they are doing is having a midwife in attendance during the anticipated period. It works there because they have a very good backup system where their road network and ambulance services are ecient. The ambulance takes just a few minutes to arrive after you call 911 and get you to hospital quickly in case of an emergency. But can we aord that in Africa? he asks. In case of a home delivery, he warns, Never pull the placenta because it will shear o and remain inside. Wait for the placenta. Usually when there is a gush of blood most likely the placenta has detached itself, then you can pull it gently using upward and downward movements. Dr Gichuhi emphasises that even after such a birth, the mother and baby still need to go to hospital and are likely to spend the night there. It is at this time that the baby is given the rst immunisation.

In our house, no plastic basins smile, as long as Im around. The jinx started about six years ago. When left to babysit, I stepped on Puddngs potty. The thing shattered. The look on Puddngs face was puhrecious. Id been chopping onions in the kitchen. Puddng had placed her potty in the living room, where she was multitasking. Watching TV while pooping. Fortunately,
the potty was empty. Since then, Ive sent six basins to their early recyclers. Initially, Id do cartwheels. Blaming the basins quality, or onions, or placement. Anything but me.

She replied that she had put it in the trash bag. After further questioning, she nally confessed. Shed chucked the trash behind the door. Heres my hypothesis. Its the fear of real or perceived retribution that drives Puddng to utter falsehoods. Either that, or shes hit every parents frustrating age: self-preservation.

man I know was once shocked by the confession of a young woman regarding her crush on him several years back. Luckily for the thoroughly amused fellow, the confession happened in a public place, and although the young woman was rather animated in her narration, she seemed harmless. Crushes happen to most of us, if we care to be honest enough. It happens at least once in our lives, sometimes more. There are two sides of it the one crushing and the one being crushed on. What should we do about it, whichever side we fall in?

Many illicit relationships begin this way, and you might have heard some people, men especially, claiming they were not responsible because she came on to me. It is therefore wise to always remember that not everything that glitters is gold, and that true love is not like moss. It needs time root.

The crush is one of the many manifestations of love and romance. By denition, it is an intense feeling of attraction, usually with very little information about the other person. This means that anyone can have a crush on someone else, and anyone can be the object of a crush. It should therefore not come as a
When you are having a crush on someone, you feel like you want to do just that draw them close and crush them. Being in their presence, especially at the peak of the fantasy can be punishing and the temptation to act on it is quite high. But by its very nature, the deeply engaging emotional core of a crush is infatuation. It fades o pretty fast. Acting on it at this stage is like diving into the ocean before you can swim in a baby pool. It is also important to know that at the peak of it, you are very vulnerable and can easily fall, head over heels as they say (think of jumping out of a moving matatu, head rst), with disastrous consequences. This principle should also apply to the object of the crush, should he or she get to know of it. Again, it can be very tempting when you become aware that someone somewhere is dying to have you close to him/her.

A crush begins with admiration just loving the way someone does things or how they treat you. That explains why teachers are some of the hottest objects of crushes. Whoever they might be, these people t our (emphasise, our) portrait of an adorable person beautiful/handsome, neat, and well organised. In most cases, the resolution phase of the crush is when the emotions fall and one realises that it cannot move beyond there. In some situations though, it might result in real love over time as the infatuation fades and one realises that he/she still has deep aection for that other person. Should that be the case, then the normal process of allowing time for the waters to settle must be followed.

GREEN TEA
An ordinary cup of green tea contains approximately 30mg caeine, compared with 40mg in black tea or 120mg in brewed coee
KUNDE, MRENDA AND TERERE ARE ALL HIGHLY NIUTRITIOUS GREENS >> CHEF RAPHAEL
Terere/Mchicha
Also Known as Amaranth Greens, it has over the past few years increased in popularity with more people eating it for its high nutritional value. It can easily be confused as a weed as it grows wildly. However, you can identify it from its densely packed owers and foliage ranging from purple and red to green or gold.
CHEFS TIP
Adding salt to the water when cooking vegetables brings out their avour and raises the boiling temp so that the vegetables cook faster and retain their texture and colour.
1kg Mchicha. Thoroughly clean the leaves (pluck them from the stem) under cold running water. Boil water, then dip them in to cook for about three minutes or until the leaves soften. Drain o the water and cool with cold water. Thereafter, chop the leaves into smaller sizes. With minimal oil, cook the onion, ginger and garlic until it softens and starts to brown. Add the curry powder and cook while stirring for one minute on low heat until it is fully brown. Add the peanut butter then allow to melt into the curry mix while stirring. Add a little water to make a sauce, and then add the cooled greens and give a stir. Allow to cook for about ve minutes until its cooked and soft. Adjust the seasoning and add a little water or cream at the very last moment according to your taste. Serve with Ugali or as a side vegetable accompaniment with meat and rice.
to buying or harvesting, look out for the youngest leaves or tender shoots in their distinctive colour phase of new growth, due to ease of harvest. Young leaves are usually higher in protein, and often look more appealing (lacking insect damage). Older leaves accumulate dust or get spattered with mud from raindrops, while younger leaves would not need as much washing. When it comes to cooking, boil the cleaned leaves whole in salty water for a few minutes until they soften. Drain o the water and cool under cold running water. Cut up the cooked leaves then set aside ready for cooking. Fry plenty of onion and garlic until soft, add chopped tomatoes, then add the kunde. Stir and cook until soft. Adjust the seasoning and serve. This is a tricky vegetable, which for a rst timer, can be a disappointing taste experience. Also known as Jute in English, the leaves are separated from the stems and boiled in salty water. It gets slimy when cooked. It is therefore best cooked with other green vegetables to reduce the sliminess. After boiling, you can cook it like kunde, or add spices like Royco or curry powder to enhance the avour. Serve with ugali and chicken, like they would have it in Western Kenya, and enjoy.

When buying, they come attached to the stems and you should look out for green leaves which are free of holes, parasites or dirt. The leaves should not be wilted or old. After buying the vegetable, clean and store in the fridge with the stems intact to stop the leaves from wilting.

I read somewhere that drinking green tea could help me lose weight. Is this true? It is likely that the article you are referring to cited a recent US study of overweight men. The study found that those men, with no other changes to their diet or exercise regimes, drank green tea three times a day and burned up 200 extra calories a day. It is believed that this eect may have been caused by an antioxidant in the green tea called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is said to help
control the ratio of body fat to muscle by promoting thermogenesis, where heat is created in the body to burn fuels such as fat, thereby increasing the bodys metabolic rate. Green tea is also believed to help to restrict the build-up of blood cholesterol, lower blood-sugar levels, reduce high blood pressure and suppress ageing. Since a normal cup of green tea contains approximately 30mg caffeine, compared with 40mg in black tea or 120mg in brewed coee, I suggest you nd a decaeinated (and therefore non-dehydrating) version to reap the benets. What are the richest dietary sources of calcium? What else do I need for strong bones? The best sources of calcium are broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, green leafy vegetables like sukuma wiki, turnips, eggs, and whole grains. Many green vegetables have absorption rates of more than 50 per cent,
compared with about 32 per cent for milk. In fact, a third of the calcium initially absorbed by the body from milk is simply peed out. In cheese, more than two-thirds is wasted. As The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition recently concluded, Relying on calcium alone to prevent osteoporosis is like elding a football team with only strikers and no defenders. Bone health is inuenced positively by many nutrients, including potassium, vitamin K, calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium, and negatively by salt and too much protein. Still not convinced? Then ask yourself this: Why is it that in many tribal communities, like the South African Bantu, where milk and milk products are not consumed, the children grow well and have good bones and teeth, and diseases such as arthritis and osteoporosis are unknown?

what you want? I, as a person, as a Kenyan and as an African, have a great problem with people who accept that a preacher should walk in and preach to us (on a bus) while I am going to Nakuru and that we should all listen. I hate it. It is an infringement on my freedom and the freedoms of others. Yet it is part of what everyone has accepted as the everyone must approve Pentecostal dictatorship mentality. My personal space to imagine and live is protected in our laws. It is not my job to educate such people. I believe it is my choice, a moral and constitutional choice. Most people in Africa do not discuss sexual orientation because it is obvious you stay the way you were born and t within expected parameters. What made you go against the grain? First of all, I refute what you are saying. Africans discuss sexuality openly in many ways. You just need to go to countries within the continent where men and women discuss matters of sex and sexuality openly in bars and in sitting rooms during meals. (The idea that sex is taboo) is a Christian colonial mentality. Our rather narrow, over-Christianised sensibility likes to see African-ness as this simple thing. Check out the history of the Azande of Sudan (boy wives), Uganda, Benin, Rwanda, and Senegal (where in the old days, wealthy aristocratic men went to brothels and picked males). Africans discuss, and have been discussing, sexuality for a long time. What I would want the anti-homosexuals to do for us is to provide evidence scholarly documentation showing that homosexuality is un-African. There is no African philosophy that can be simplied. That is just stupid. Cultures are mobile things that people design in order to adapt to the world. It is not a xed box. We must learn to expand our sense of awareness. The Africa I envision is not a continent ruled by policemen of dogma. What is your take on the whole idea of family units? Do you plan to start a family? And do you consider gay unions complete families? The family is not a frozen idea as most people want to make it appear. Nontraditional families have been in existence in the world and in Africa for a long time. Think of the woman-to-woman marriages for the purpose of bearing children in traditional Muranga in the past, for instance. We have diverse approaches to

life that also include the family situation. Today, there are many lesbian and gay families. So, do I want to start a family? I have no immediate plans in that direction. If it comes, it comes. And I dont have a solution to mine. To be gay is not a disease. There are arguments that it is a sort of a disease. Again, can those who say this provide medical or scientic evidence? What we want is a constitutional freedom where no one is interested in what you do behind your bedroom door. Do you expect to be a father someday, to have someone continue your lineage? I need to be a lot more settled before imagining what it would be like to bring up a child. I havent gured out the logistics yet and the time hasnt come for that.

Indeed, the rule of thumb for a true Lexus is not to see any Toyota badging on the whole car. In fact, Lexus goes ahead and badges everything, just like its German counterparts, right down to the speedometer and windows, Okello notes. Mechanically speaking, the JDM equivalents and Lexus are, to a large extent, similar, with the dierences being in options like leather seats, safety features, GPS etc. Speaking on condition of anonymity, another car expert says: The Toyota Harrier was specically for the JDM market, while the Lexus RX was for the international market. In fact, if you show a picture of the second-generation Lexus RX to any Japanese on the street, he
or she would likely identify the Lexus RX as a Toyota Harrier, he notes. This is because the Lexus RX was not on sale in the Japanese market, only the Toyota Harrier was. From the re-badging exercise, the better specced Toyota Harrier L and Premium L packages eventually became the Lexus RX SUVs for the international community, where it was well-received in the US, UK and South East Asia. And because the Japanese typically change their cars on a three-year cycle, the excess unwanted second-hand cars are auctioned o to companies that bring them to countries all over the world as reconditioned vehicles, the expert explains. The second generation Lexus RX is out, and so is its Harrier sister. The third generation Lexus RX is also out, but not the Harrier. So anyone expecting to drive a third generation Harrier might wait for years on end without seeing one. Reprinted from the Daily Monitor
CAR CLINIC
2014 Mitsubishi Mirage, the 2012-14 Nissan Versa sedan and the 2012-14 Toyota Prius C. (The Versa sedan ratings do not apply to the Versa Note hatchback). The new small overlap evaluation, which the institute added to its repertory of crash tests in 2012, replicates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle strikes another vehicle or an object at 40mph (64kph).
It is especially dicult to get a good rating on this test because the impact bypasses most of the vehicles frontend crash-absorbing structure, meaning it is dicult for a vehicle to absorb crash energy before it reaches the passenger compartment. As a result, the compartment can collapse in a crash. And every minicar, including the Spark, was rated marginal or poor for structural integrity, which is one

SAILS OF DOOM
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY
The boys watched, speechlessly, as several more ships sailed into sight. Eventually, they counted a eet of seven large ships and ve smaller vessels; ten or eleven small dhows were sailing with them. The boys watched, their hearts beating faster, as the strange eet slowly moved through the water, towards the reef. The great sweeping sails apped lazily as they tried to catch the wind, but in vain, because the breeze had died to a whisper. The boys could see a row of menacing gun muzzles mounted on each of the larger ships and knew, even at that distance, that these were not Portuguese ships from Goa. They noticed that a big red ag hung limply on the masthead of the leading ship, instead of the Portuguese ag, and each of the other ships carried a large green ag. Gradually the ships lost way and eventually dropped anchor.
It must be the Omani eet coming to attack Mombasa! Carlos nally whispered, his voice hoarse with horror. We must get back to the Fort at once, Hussein, and warn them of the danger! We must be careful not to be seen, Hussein whispered back. Or theyll try to stop us. I dont think theyve seen us and, if they did, theyll probably think that were local shermen. Come on, Hussein, we must hurry. Hauling their shing lines hastily into the canoe, they pulled up the anchor and started paddling slowly away from the big ships. It was a demanding task because, although the tide was not as strong as it had been earlier, there was still enough current to tire them as they paddled against it, all the while afraid of being seen.
