in Woodley, Nairobi, reserved for
county government housing and
has revoked the title deed. It has
also repossessed two pieces of

Mr Nyagah was allocated by
the defunct Kisumu Municipal
Council in Kanyakwar area on

governments and the public.
The commission via public

Consequently, the commis-

and title In other cases, high ranking
government ocials working in
deeds given cahoots with ruling party hawks
would create a necessity for
resettling squatters to hive o
thousands of acres belonging to
public institutions and allocate
themselves and their proxies the
said land.
In some of the most brazen
situations, grabbers would secure
public land at throwaway prices
then arm-twist institutions such as
the National Social Security Fund
to buy them at market or exagger-
ated rates, raking in millions of
shillings in overnight deals.
Some of the most affected
public institutions included local
authorities, prisons, research cen-
tres, schools, state corporations,
state lodges, public playgrounds
and road reserves.
The National Land Commis-
sion has revoked title deeds for
151 parcels hived o Karura For-
est and directed that they revert
to the original owner; the Kenya
Forest Service.
According to the Ndungu Re-
port, the plunder of the forest took
place between 1996 and 1998.
Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai
and several opposition lawmakers,
including James Orengo and Njehu
Gatabaki, stormed the woodland
on January 8, 1999, to stop more
grabbing.
The daring raid drew global
attention to Kenyas grabbing
menace when Prof Maathai and
her group were set upon by vigilan-
tes guarding the grabbed property
and beaten senseless.
Today, only 564 hectares
(1,394 acres) of the original 1,063
hectares (2,627 acres) remain, ac-
cording to the Ndungu Report.
The Prisons department has
also served as a playground for
grabbers, with Lands Minister
Jacob Kaimenyi revealing last
year that nearly 4,579.54 acres
belonging to various correctional
institutions had been illegally
ary schools was at risk of being
Prof Kaimenyi said Kitale
Prison was the biggest victim,
having lost 2,717 acres.
In Nairobi, the Remand and
Allocation Prison in Industrial
Area lost 36.99 acres, Nairobi
West (60.91), Langata Women
(27.67) and Kamiti 50.16 acres.
In its latest edition of the
Kenya Gazette, the commission
has revoked titles for 117 parcels
of land belonging to Eldoret GK
Prisons.
Public utilities
Among the beneciaries of the
land whose titles have now been
cancelled include two former
commissioners of prisons Ed-
ward Lopokoiyit and Abraham
Kamakil.
Other beneciaries of the prison
land include former MPs William
Morogo and Vincent MMaitsi,
businessman Sammy arap Kogo
and educationists George Godia
and Laban Ayiro as well as sev-
eral companies. Also not spared
by grabbers were learning insti-

The audit also revealed that
83 per cent of the institutions
did not have lease certicates,
making them susceptible to
grabbers, while another 55 per

A further 14 per cent had re-
ported land-grabbing and their
plots contested, prompting the
government to issue instruc-
tions to headteachers, boards of
management and communities
to erect fences to mark school
boundaries.
Land belonging to the defunct
local authorities in many parts
of the country also fell prey to
grabbers.
Thousands of plots belonging
to the City Council of Nairobi
and Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu,
Kiambu and Kisii municipalities
were among properties whose title
deeds were revoked.
Also hard hit by land grabbing
were thousands of acres of land set

A report by the Kenya Na-
tional Commission on Human
Rights captured the extent to
which State corporations were
used to facilitate grabbing, espe-
cially during the Daniel arap Moi
No doubt, the extensive net-
works of the Moi administration
still wielded immense inuence at
the time. This ensured that the
commission did not get all the in-
formation it needed. Nonetheless,
it was able to establish massive
theft of public land, the report
noted, referring to the Ndungu
Commission.
The report said the commis-
sioner of lands would, in some
cases, even without the knowledge
of the management, simply allo-
cate parastatal land and issue title
deeds to favoured individuals.
The corporation management
would wake up to the fact that land
had been acquired and titles issued
without its knowledge or consent,
said the Ndungu Report.
NSSF culprits
In sanitising some of the theft, a
state corporation would irregularly
surrender its land through a let-
ter to the commissioner of lands
alleging it no longer needed the
parcel, the report adds.
Within no time, and in what
was clearly choreographed,
some well-connected operatives
would apply to be allocated the
surrendered piece, to which the
commissioner of lands would
promptly oblige.
Other methods were more bra-
zen. Some state corporations were
simply run down, ending-up in
receivership or liquidation. Their
land and other assets would then
be sold at throwaway prices. Such
is the fate that befell the Kenya
Food and Chemical Corporation
Ltd, reads the report. State agen-
cies whose land was grabbed and

thorny election
issue, a decade
after violence
BY JUSTUS WANGA
Kenya National Dialogue and
Reconciliation (KNDR) forum set up
by the African Union a decade ago
following the disputed presidential
election of December 2007 identi-
ed land reforms as one of ways of
attaining peace in future.
Listed under the famous Agenda
Four item of KNDR, which had
other proposed action areas like
tackling inequality and combating
regional development imbalances,
the AU panel headed by the former
UN Secretary General Ko Annan
agreed that implementing the
reforms would guarantee stability
and justice.
The Truth Justice and Reconcilia-
tion Commission (TJRC) also makes
a strong pitch for land reforms in its
2013 report although the 11th Parlia-
ment has been accused of dragging
its feet to create structures for its
implementation.
The fact that some prominent
Kenyans have been accused of il-
legally amassing land has slowed
down its implementation.
Accusations that some of them
were brazenly able to get their
names expunged from the docu-
ment before it was made public
has dogged former commissioners
whose chairman Bethwel Kiplagat
was buried last week.
The government has to look into
this problem (land problem) critically
because millions have been impov-
erished by the land tenure system,
Mr Berhanu Dinka, a commissioner
said ve years ago.
It remains one of the most emo-
tive subjects in the countrys politics
less than two weeks to the General
Election. The reforms largely revolve
around changing the overall tenure
system, protecting public and private
land and oering compensation to
those whose land rights were vio-
lated.
Implement fully
Last week, Deputy President
William Ruto urged caution against
implementation of the TJRC report,
a government-sponsored inquiry into
an array of historical injustices,
which also touches on the land
question, saying it stood the risk
of opening up old wounds.
He was reacting to one of the
promises by opposition presidential
candidate Raila Odinga that should
his coalition dislodge Jubilee from
power, they plan to fully implement
the TJRC report.
The TJRC report nds a close link
between land injustices and ethnic
violence in the country. It also notes,
land-related injustices took many
forms such as illegal takeover of
individual and community land
by public and private institutions;
illegally hiving o public land and
trust lands; preferring members of a
specic ethnic group to benet from
settlement schemes and land grab-
bing by government ocials.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, in his
2015 State of the Nation address,
issued a directive for the establish-
ment of a Sh10 billion Restorative
Justice Fund to be utilised over 3
years to provide relief to victims
of past human rights violations,
including settling the landless, but
this was never followed up.

I
n a single stroke, the Na-
among tional Land Commission
has repossessed hundreds
Kanu of public properties worth billions
of shillings that had been grabbed
bigwigs and given to politicians and other
between politically correct individuals
and some of which features in
1994 and the Ndungu Report.
1999 These include government
houses, prisons land, forests,
repossessed road reserves and land set aside
for schools, churches and other
public amenities.
The cancellation of the titles
perhaps the single largest since
independence will lead to litiga-
tions from third-parties who may
have purchased the properties and
nancial institutions which might
be left holding worthless securities.
It will also be a triumph to activists
who have all along demanded ac-
tion against barons who had stolen
public property with impunity.
Others will have their land regu-
larised after the NLC approved the
acquisition.
Where the order calls for revo-
cation, the Chief Land Registrar is
thereby directed to revoke as per
section 14(5) of the National Land
Commission Act and attendant
laws, says Dr Muhammad Swa-
zuri in a gazette notice.
The biggest repossession is that
of Karura Forest in Nairobi, where
151 title deeds were revoked. Parts
LAND GRAFT
of the forest land were grabbed
between 1994 and 1999 by Kanu
bigwigs who shared an estimated
2,000 acres of public land and
sold it to private companies, trig-
gering an environmental war with
Greenbelt Movement leader, Prof
Wangari Maathai, whose determi-
nation to save the forest saw her
win the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize.
At the time, President Moi
defended the grabbing of Karura,
insisting that most of Nairobi was
hitherto government forest.
Also revoked are all the 102 titles
in Nairobis Woodley, a housing es-
tate that belonged to the Nairobi
City Council, and where all the
houses were dished out during the
Moi regime. Woodley has been the
target of grabbers since the prop-
erty stands on prime land. Activists
who have tried to follow up on the
land have been killed.
With the revocation of titles,
NLC is sending a message to land
grabbers in Kenya that their time
is up and no amount of litigation
can save them. The independent
National Land Commission was
NSSF, a State
corporation, had
invested in 18.41
hectares in both Karura
Forest Reserve and Ngong
Forest.
Reports
formed to help restore sanity in
land acquisition, which had seen
huge chunks of government and
public property dished out as re-
wards by central government and
then-ruling Kanu party to politi-
cians and power brokers. The land
was later sold to nance political
campaigns. Most affected were
road reserves and land set aside
for public amenities like schools,
hospitals, research centres, State
corporations, recreation grounds
and public toilets. Various audited
reports have found that govern-
ment corporations such as the
National Social Security Fund
(NSSF) had invested more than
Sh1.1 billion of workers money in
public forests, which are gazetted
areas, and which cannot be owned
or developed. For instance, NSSF
invested in 18.41 hectares in both
Karura Forest and Ngong Forest.
Another controversial title was
for the Eastleigh public market in
Nairobi, which had been sold to
Ali Sheikh Mohamed and Farah
Mohamed Barrow for Sh500 mil-
lion. The land was initially owned
by the national government, which
leased it in 1985 to the Nairobi
City Council for 99 years to erect
Thursday July 27, 2017 | DAILY NATION
stalls for small-scale traders. But
NCC later entered into a lease
instrument with Alfa Traders,
who then claimed ownership of
the property.
The other affected is former
Kiambu MP Stanley Githunguri,
who has lost the multi-billion shil-
ling Tassia estate in Nairobi, which
is to revert to the Nairobi County
government, which will hold in
trust for residents of Fedha Estate.
The land is identied as Nairobi
block/97/1736.
Also, both Tassia and Fedha
Estate properties are to surrender
seven metres for a transport cor-
ridor free of charge. That means
that various multi-million shilling
properties fronting the main road
will have to be demolished.
In Kakamega, the family of
Nasa principal Musalia Mudavadi
has lost land which their father
Moses Mudavadi grabbed from
the Kakamega Golf Course/ Club

ister. One of the oldest in western

But the dubious honour of the

Within a short period of ve
years (1990 to 1995), NSSF

In Kisii, former Cabinet minister

the company, wrote to Samuel
Muindi, then Managing trustee
of NSSF informing him that
the President had suggested
that the NSSF be requested
to purchase the land at market
value. In February 1995, NSSF
bought 136.07ha of the land at
a cost of Sh268 million.
This price was eight and a half
times more than the profession-

Through his signature, the commissions

was published last Friday in the Kenya Ga-

is on its away, sent an ominous warning
through the special Kenya Gazette notice
asking interested parties to access full les
at its oces.
Kenya Forest Service had 151 titles reverted
to its name as previous owners documents
were revoked. A closer look at the list shows
that the real owners went to great lengths to
hide their identities as nearly all titles were

move to revoke titles in vari-
ous parts of the country.
The properties located in
Nairobi, its environs and other
major towns, which have high
value have been fodder for the
lenders, who readily accept them
as collateral for loans.
Kenya Bankers Association
Chief Executive Habil Olaka
(below) yesterday said banks
that have lent out based on the
aected titles will denitely face
losses, even though he could not
ascertain the level of the antici-
pated losses.
We have not been able to tell
the level at which these changes
have aected banks because I
think it is now a routine for NLC
to revoke titles, he said.
But those banks which have
used the property as collateral
will denitely be aected be-
cause they will be holding
collaterals whose value they
cannot realise in case of a de-
fault, added Mr Olaka.
The move may also cause
more banks to hesitate lending
based on titles with fears over
the authenticity of the docu-
ments.
A further reason to slow
lending other than the inter-
est rates capping will also hurt
earnings from the lenders in the
long term.
Growth of credit to the private
sector fell for the eighth straight
month in May following the in-
troduction of the law capping
rates in September last year.
Banking sector data compiled
by the Central Bank of Kenya
(CBK) shows the growth of
credit to the private sector fell to
2.1 per cent over the 12 months
to May 2017 down from the 2.4
per cent recorded in April.
According to the CBK, about
60 per cent of the credit to the
private sector goes to real es-
tate, manufacturing, trade and
personal loans.
The real estate borrowers
largely rely on the title deeds
to secure loans for development
of houses.
More freezing in credit sup-
ply in the market will also have
an overall impact on many
other sectors of the economy,
signifying the ripple eect land

may cause to the larger eco-
nomic growth of the country.

Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma
and Uasin Gishu independent guber-

commission today over breach of the

of using President Uhuru Kenyattas
and DP William Rutos portraits in
his campaign materials and Mr Ran-

to use ODM party colours. They are

Dismiss case seeking to

The electoral agency wants a

dismissed. While responding to the
case led by Maj (rtd) Joel Kiprono,
the IEBC told the court yesterday
that the General Election date was
a matter that had already been de-
termined in earlier cases. IEBC also
noted that the suit appears to be
politically instigated as the issues
raised were not triable or a violation
of the Constitution. Mr Kiprono
argues the Constitution states that a
General Election be held every fth
year yet the country is preparing for
polls just after four-and-a-half years.

Leaders must pitch

T
he anxiety that has engulfed the country in the
countdown to the elections that are 11 days
away is unhealthy. Its evident that the country
is slowing down due to uncertainty over election
outcomes. Businesses are holding back, tourism is
slackening, while foreign missions and international
organisations based in Nairobi are moving sta to other
destinations. Worse, some foreign embassies have sent
out travel advisories to their nationals against visiting
Kenya. These are bad indicators.
Unfortunately, this is the price we have to pay because
of the way we play politics. Electoral contests have
been turned into a life-and-death matter; a cut-throat
competition bereft of civility. Although the main political
contestants have pledged to conduct their campaigns
peacefully and to accept the results, the reality is that
tension is mounting.
For one, the government has delineated some counties
and characterised them as hotspots. There could be
evidence for that, but such characterisations create more
tension. Two, foreign observers such as the European
Union mission have warned that the country is sitting
on a precipice and is likely to explode into violence
unless the electoral process is handled properly. We
have developed a worrying reputation for election
violence. But this is based on experience. Out of the

it creates a vibe that is
important for fundraising.
Opportunists looking to
back the winning horse,
hoping for a good return, and
people, in general, who dont
want to squander their money
on losing candidates, will
gravitate towards the crowd
puller.
Crowd size is also a
powerful tool in demoralising
rivals. If your competitor
shows up and has 50,000
people at a place where you
managed only 5,000, that
kind of puts you in your place.
But also, in a period of

cheerleaders say things like:

And, where you have such
promiscuous crowds, the
question of whom they will
actually vote for is often
settled by the fee. If someone
is the kind of fellow who
is selling his presence at
rallies, then he will also take
a long term view about future
business.
He would want the chap
who pays him Sh300 for a
rally appearance to win, than
the one who gives Sh100.
Because prices invariably go
up, the one who dishes out
Sh300 in this election, will
probably give Sh400 in ve
years. The one who is giving
out Sh100, will at best double
it to Sh200.
So here is the thing.
Contrary to the popular view,
outside of hard ethnic types,
the most understandable and
predictable Kenyan voter
might be the one who is paid.

Why pollsters face challenge of
getting their predictions right
T
he latest opinion polls
by Ipsos and Infotrak
have exposed structural
weaknesses and failures that
could erode public condence
in key ndings deceptively
presented as statistical
probability. While Ipsos
Synovate has consistently
placed President Uhuru
Kenyatta ahead of Nasas Raila
Odinga, Infotrak Research and
Consulting would want the
public to believe that the latter
has galloped four percentage
points in just three weeks and
achieved a razor-thin edge
margin over his rival. In the
Ipsos poll, the President had 47

the controversy that has hit
pollsters in America and
Europe, who have been faulted
for turning a scientic survey
into a self-serving exercise to
yield pre-determined outcomes.
This is precisely the issue
that confronted them when
they released their ndings
on Sunday. Mr Tom Wolf, the
Ipsos lead researcher, and
Infotrak chief executive Angela
Ambitho faced o on NTV,

a young scribe was
penning human-interest
dispatches, especially on
diseases. It is Prof Krina Bhatt,
of the University of Nairobi,
whom I was interviewing,
who dropped the bomb on the
neglected tropical diseases.
Curiosity would later land me
at the Kenya Medical Research
Institute (Kemri) where, on a
bright afternoon, I held court
with Dr Monique Wasunna.
The eloquent, aable and
passionate Dr Wasunna blew
the lid o the undercurrents
of the neglected diseases.
As the Africa director of the
Drugs for Neglected Diseases
initiative (DNDi), she was
battling visceral leishmaniasis
or kala azar caused by sand y
bites. The disease is common
in Baringo and West Pokot in
Kenya, and western Uganda,
Ethiopia and Sudan. It has
neither a cure nor a vaccine.
There are many of these
diseases of the poor mainly
the global South. They include
African sleeping sickness,
trachoma, dengue, and chagas.
Estimates from the Centres
for Disease Control (CDC)
are petrifying about a

encounter with Dr Wasunna
ndings could be so markedly
dierent. Structural weaknesses
of the Infotrak poll emerged
from several key areas, which
could be attributed to either
the framework being faulty
or the polling controlled to
yield certain results. Infotrak
sampled 2,000 respondents
in 30 counties and 100
constituencies between July
16 and 22. Ipsos interviewed
2,209 respondents in all the 47
counties from July 3 to 12.
Representative
Based on the sampling frame,
its apparent that while the
opinion of those who responded
to the Ipsos survey may be
considered representative of the
19.6 million registered voters,
Infotraks did not capture
the views of Kenyans in 17
counties (36 per cent) and 190
constituencies (65.5 per cent!).
It failed the test of a poll that
could give a representative view
of how Kenyans are likely to
vote in the presidential race.
Another point of departure
was whether the two surveys
were randomised and who
satised the criteria to be
included. Mr Wolf explained
that Ipsos accepted opinions
from all respondents who
said they were registered
to vote, would most likely
vote and named their polling
station. Infotrak, according

on registered voters. The
problem is that there is marked
dierence between eligible
voters, over 26 million, and
the 19.6 million registered by

Infotrak was able to determine
that its respondents were only
registered voters when Mr Wolf
identied this as one of the
methodological problems in the
survey, given that the biometric
voting system eliminated voting

respondent against an IEBC
register would be a daunting
task. Also, while Ipsos has

dying. Interestingly, not even
governments are bothered.
Instead, diseases of the rich
such as balding, diabetes, or
heart illness are enjoying rock-
star attention, because, you
guessed right, they attract big
money.
This sad reality was replayed
recently when a battery of
health ocials scampered to
revoke the licences of low-end
eateries in Nairobi accused of
manufacturing and spreading
cholera. But its not because
the health honchos are defying
codes of social stratication.
Cholera is a disease of the
poor found in the most fetid of

water or faecal-laced food.
It doesnt aect the rich,

shamelessness of this cholera
thing. It is becoming urbane. A
few months ago, it struck at a
wedding in the swanky Karen
suburb of Nairobi. Then, there
was another episode at a posh
hotel, where, ironically, doctors
were not spared either. This
virus has crossed the red line.
Cholera is now a disease of the
rich, too. That is why health
ocials are frantically trying to
been using samples based on
the classications used by
the Kenya National Bureau of
Statistics in population and
household surveys, the Infotrak
survey fell way out of the rim by
giving more weight to some of
the categories of respondents
than others. The release of
Infotraks ndings two hours
after Ipsoss raised suspicions
about the quality and
intentions. Infotraks appeared
timed to dilute the ndings of
the Ipsos poll and inuence the
presidential debate on Monday
(which eventually featured Mr
Odinga alone).
While opinion polls are
important tools for gauging
the feelings of the public
before elections, confusing
Kenyans into believing that
the trend they have seen for
many months has suddenly
changed, without any credible
explanation, damages the
pollsters integrity. With 12 days
to go, the fact is that President
Kenyatta and Mr Odinga have
already established their core
voters. Whoever swings most of
the undecided voters to his side
will carry the day, which both
pollsters agree may produce a
straight winner with 50 per cent

ocials have imitated the raw
capitalism of pharmaceuticals
to serve the elite. Yet, to
understand this misadventure,
you need to delve into the
milieu of the o-the-mill
public actor. They are smug
and slothful. They have hit the
menopause of any constructive
concepts and lack the will to

polloi do not t in the jigsaw.
Even the cholera vaccine that
ought to have been dispensed

hear of aggressive public health
campaigns to tame the virus.
This explains why Nairobi is
one big stinking cesspit where
sewage spews onto streets with
abandon. Nairobi and cholera
is almost like 1800 London.
Of course, this blatant neglect
of public interest negates the
doctrine of the social contract.

have squirmed its way to the
high tables, it is now turning
the tables. Public ocials, who
characteristically behave like

THE CUTTING EDGE
BY THE WATCHMAN
UNCARING OFFICERS. Martin Muya and some
colleagues travelled from Nairobi to Mombasas DCIO-
Urban to report four suspects, who have swindled
money from a government body, and were tossed
from one oce to another and could easily have given
up. Their self-inicted agony started on July 20, at
2pm, and included being sent to the Kisauni Dog Unit.
A senior ocer, Martin claims, asked them: Why
should you report, anyway? He then drove o. But
he is grateful to Central Police Station for recording
the matter in the Occurrence Book. For the details, his
contact is 0729912172 or martinmuya@tarda.co.ke.
NOISY PARLOUR. Can someone in Nairobi City
County make Said Osman understand how a noisy
massage parlour that operates 24/7 from a at in a
posh residential are on Ole Odume Road was licensed?
The outt, he adds, has been wreaking havoc, with
loud music and screams, depriving residents of their
deserved rest after a long day at work. Their pleas
to the operator to lower the decibel levels, he reports,
have been atly ignored, as the racket continues. He is
urging the licensing department to revoke the licence.
His contact is saidosman39@gmail.com.
NOISE POLLUTION. Yet another nuisance in
Nairobi that makes a mockery of planning and order
that should be the hallmark of a city that aspires
to be one of the best in the world is playing out in
the Westlands suburb. Thomas Mboya reports that
someone has opened a welding shop on David Osieli
Road, deep in a residential area, which is not only a
really noisy nuisance, but also blatantly outs National
Environment Management Authority regulations.
Thomas, whose contact is thomasmboya@gmail.com,
hopes the authorities will rmly act on this one.
Billionaire Jack Ma giving a public lecture in Nairobi.
JACK MAS NEEDED. When Chinese billionaire
Jack Ma was at the Main Campus of the University
of Nairobi recently to give a public lecture that was
televised live, university don X.N. Iraki notes, the
crowd that came to listen to him was very big. This,
Iraki adds, is a clear indicator that we lack role
models and its time we nurtured our own Jack Mas.
Demographics indicate there is no shortage of Jack Ma
material. They only need inspiration. But we instead
spend too much time nishing one another and
celebrating that. His contact is xniraki@gmail.com.
NURSES STRIKE. With national attention now
riveted on the election campaigns and, especially the
mounting competition between Jubilee Party and
Nasa, the ongoing nurses strike has, unfortunately,
been put on the back burner, to the detriment of
services in public health centres and hospitals,
moans Joseph Macharia. However, he adds, its been
encouraging to note that the Nation has published
three editorials calling for a resolution to the crisis.
More pressure, he urges, should be exerted on the
parties to end the suering before the elections. His
contact is machariajoseph82@gmail.com.
AUGUST 8. Listening to many Kenyans talking so
animatedly about the coming General Election, says
Basilio Chabari, one would imagine that the nation
known as Kenya is coming to an end on August 8.
Basilio adds: Everywhere you go, almost everyone is
talking about August 8. Sample these: I will start my
project after August 8, Let us postpone our wedding
until after August 8, I will lend you some money
after August 8! And I will come back to Nairobi after
August 8 Come on, fellow Kenyans! There will be life
after August 8. An election need not be a matter of life
and death! His contact is bchabari@yahoo.com.

To the editor
Authorities should not
let their guard down
Letting your guard down leaves
you vulnerable to attack. The media
reported the other day that services
were slow in public oces due to
the electioneering season. It should
not be so. State agencies such as
KRA, KPA, security and customs
should remain alert because some
evil elements could take advantage
of their laxity and harm citizens.
VERONICA ONJORO, Mombasa.
Dont make education
cheap campaign tool
This political season, the
education sector has not been left
out. Politicians are saying how
they intend to oer free education,
which is a good thing. But even
with the promises, our schools are
in a precarious situation due to lack
of capitation for the second term,
which ends next week. How is it
possible for schools to run their
programmes without money? Dear
politicians, education is not a game.
ONYIEGO DAVID, Kisii.
Crack down on errant
school bus drivers
I am still mourning the six-year-
old boy from Mombasa who was
crushed to death after dropping
through an opening on the oor
of a school bus. This case is very
worrying and raises concerns
about the safety of schoolchildren.
The few times I have been on the
road between 4 am and 6 am, I
came across many school buses
overloaded with pupils, some as
young as ve. Crack down on
oenders before we lose more lives.
P. R. GITHINJI, Kajiado.
On Raila, moderators
could have done better
Although the President failed to
show up for the presidential debate,
his main opponent Raila Odinga
did and he performed exceedingly
well. The earlier debate for other
candidates did not have questions
as hard-hitting as the second. But
while the moderators did a good
job, they dwelt on negative issues
Raila is accused of. The moderators
missed a great chance to ask him
how he plans to implement the
promised free education in the rst
month in oce.
SAMSON NYASIMI, Kericho.
YESTERDAYS QUESTION
What is your opinion on the presidential debate that was held on Monday evening?
DAVID NGURE NGANGA: A mature Odinga said
hell accept the results and wished his rival well.
PARESH DAVE: A sterling performance by Raila.
NORMAN KIGUHI: Such debates help us shift from
tribal to issue-based thinking.
EDWARD B. WEKESA: Pledges may not be realised.
JOSEPH O. NANDI: It was bad for President Uhuru
to skip such an event. Kudos Raila Odinga.
TALKING POINT
Next president has a huge task
unifying and developing Kenya
T
he August 8 General Election
will have huge implications
on Kenyas political and
socio-economic future.
Like South Korea, Singapore or
Malaysia, there is everything to
dream for and put Kenya where
it should be.
History has made Kenya what it is
today; a country full of mistrust and
suspicion. That means a lot needs
to be done to build condence and
trust for one another.
That is why the presidential
election outcome will be historic.
For Jubilee, it would be President
Uhuru Kenyattas last term. It
would be a time for him to build
and cement his legacy.
Should the National Super
Alliance prevail, it would mean the
rst real taste of power for veteran
opposition leader Raila Odinga.
But it would also mean dealing
with a lot of expectations placed
on his shoulders and managing a
fractured country.
The Nasa opposition alliance has
sold itself as pro-devolution.
Travel all over Kenya and you
will realise a lot that still needs
to be done to improve livelihoods.
There have been changes in the
country, especially in real estate
and infrastructure development.
Yet our rapidly growing
population is a great challenge to
whichever person or party assumes
power after August 8.
Projections from reputable
institutions such as the World
Bank show a signicant population
growth in Kenya by 2050.
Unfortunately, the country still
Why Asian tribe declaration will expose us to problems
Kenya has a new tribe Asians
whose inclusion in the census
President Uhuru Kenyatta has
ordered.
I have an issue with this
because the term Asian, to me,
includes people such as Chinese,
Koreans, Japanese and Indians
and not necessarily Indians born
in Kenya.
Many Kenyans mistake the
term Hindu Asians for Indians.
Hindi is the language spoken in
India, including by the more than
250 million black Indians who
ESTHER OMARI: Raila did well to attend.
SHARON GWADA: The President had a right to miss
the debate but he has no right to talk ill of anyone.
BYRON T. MOMANYI: Uhurus absence makes him to
be viewed as a fugitive of accountability.
LLOYD AYAGO: The debate was a success but the
Presidents failure to attend was not a good sign.
ELIAS MUINDI: For those who failed to attend,
Kenyans at a political rally. Unemployment is still high in the country.
cannot feed itself and the troubling
joblessness crisis does not show any
signs of reducing.
Agricultural production is decling
every season thanks to climate
change.
What all this means is that Kenya
must invest in policies, strategies,
laws and structures if we are to
catch up with the Asian Tigers.
We must put in place mechanisms
that successfully deal with
the countrys Achilles heel:
Corruption.
The next national and county
governments, National Assembly,
Senate and County Assemblies will
have a lot to do if Kenya is to make
a huge economic leap forward. The
Judiciary will also be expected to
play its part properly.
The same applies to supportive
players such as the civil society,
media and development partners.
established the Harrapan and
Indus Valley civilisation, called
Dravidians.
The Indians of Kenya are from
three tribes Shah, Patel and
Goan and referring to them as
Asians is wrong. The Chinese are
also Asians and may also want to
be included in the census.
The government has erred
in declaring Indians of Kenyan
origin Asians, who have now
become the 44th tribe in Kenya.
Someone will one day challenge
in court the use of the term
Kenyans will make their judgement on polling day.
AUDREY MURGOR: It was a success.
WAKINI KURIA: These debates are way overrated.
DAVID OKELLO: Well conducted.
FLORENCE MUTHONI: Whatever was said was just
meant to cleanse their names and woo people to
vote for them.

But, even with our shortcomings,
it should be noted that the country
has made milestones in the past
one-and-a-half decades.
We have a progressive
Constitution, a lot of investment
has been made in infrastructure,
the Judiciary is more robust and
independent, there are reforms in
education, expansion of electricity
connection, reforms in the National
Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and
several others.
Yet the road ahead is tough. The
challenges we face are of immense
proportion.
The next government will still
have a lot to do to improve security
in many parts of Kenya, reduce
unemployment, poverty and ill-
health, improve infrastructure and
exports and other matters.

Asian as a tribe because it is
a conglomeration of dierent
ethnic groups. It is akin to
recognising Africans in the
Diaspora as a tribe.
Of late, new tribes have
emerged from obscurity such
as the Makonde, originally from
Nyasaland, Nubians from Sudan
and now Asians, who descended
from Indian coolies who built the
Kenya-Uganda railway.
The 45th tribe of Kenya should
now be the Chinese.

SHORT TAKES
Emails from correspondents
OPINION POLLS: Two recent opinion
polls dier on who the leading presidential
candidate is. However, the ndings should
never be ignored. Those evaluating polls
should get answers on the following: Who
conducted and/or commissioned the poll
and why? How were the questions phrased
and asked? How were respondents chosen?
Who was surveyed and how representative
was the survey? What was the margin of
error? How was the data collected? When
was the survey conducted?
MWARI MAINA, Nyeri.
HATE SPEECH: As we approach the
General Election, it saddens peace-loving
Kenyans to see leaders arrested for hate
speech. Politicians should be careful with
every word they utter. They should use
their campaign rallies to preach peace and
unite Kenyans with more vigour than ever
before. This will eventually lead to peaceful
elections and tranquillity in the country.
We do not want a repeat of the 2007/2008
post-election violence.
LINDA FAMBA, Nairobi.
PLASTIC POLLUTION: Modern life is
unthinkable without plastic, but theres a
catch. Some of the properties that make
it so useful such as low cost, light
weight and durability also make it hard
to dispose of. Instead of recycling all
our plastic waste, we send almost all of
it straight to landlls. A comprehensive
policy response to the plastic challenge
requires tackling design, manufacture, use
and disposal a truly strategic approach
that will lead to a circular economy.
JOB M. MOMANYI, Kisii.
DANGEROUS BUSES: Kenya Mpya buses
could be the worst-driven vehicles on the
road today. After molesting other vehicles
on Thika superhighway, the nal match
happens in Thika town, where they edge
other cars o the road with dangerous
manoeuvres. The buses regularly cause
accidents as the many dents and scratches
on their bodyworks show. Who owns these
buses, and why do the police seem so
helpless to tame them?
GEORGE M. MBURU, Kiambu.
SLUDGE BRIQUETTES: Whenever a
story on the Nakuru briquettes appears
in the newspapers, I just glance over the
article. The said charcoal is sludge-
based and is said to be heated to over 400
degrees Celcius, killing all the pathogens.
However, I have found it hard to digest
(pun intended) this concept and accept it.
Though I saw that the charcoal has so far
been used in brooders to warm chickens,
the conservative me will forever give it a
wide berth. It is hard to erase history.
GITHUKU MUNGAI, Nairobi.

CONSERVATION ELECTIONS

Migratory routes lifeline for wildlife Why vote if I

T

of Kenyas wildlife
migratory corridors
and dispersal areas report
by Environment and Natural
Resources Cabinet Secretary
Judi Wakhungu sets a
positive turning point for
conservation. The report
begins the planning of
future landscapes to allow
the nation to develop into
an industrialised economy,
while keeping our globally-
important natural heritage
intact.
Building upon this
framework, the conservation
fraternity will have a master
plan to use as a basis for
discussions with other
economic sectors competing
for the same land. Before
this, lands for conservation
have often been viewed
as waste or idle with
little or no regard for the
ecosystem and social
services they provide such as
clean air, water catchment,
livestock grazing and
worship areas.
There is also the 12 per
cent contribution to the
gross domestic product by
the tourism sector, which
is 75 per cent reliant on
wildlife. Wildlife corridors

reserves or dispersal

but crucial for allowing
wildlife and livestock access
to food and water in dry
seasons. Development
that is incompatible with
conservation in these
key routes has serious
implications for wildlife
and natural ecosystems.
Terrestrial parks and
reserves constitute about
eight per cent of Kenyas
land area, while marine
parks and reserves comprise
below ve per cent of
the coastal and marine
areas. The Convention
on Biological Diversity
recommends (in its Target
11) that each country set
aside at least 17 per cent
of its terrestrial and inland
water areas and 10 per
cent of its coastal and
marine areas by 2020 for
biodiversity and ecosystem
services. Kenya still has
substantial wildlife-friendly
areas outside parks and
reserves in the form of
community or private
conservancies and marine
areas. Linking these lands
through corridors and
integrating them into a wider
landscape and seascape
could propel Kenya to attain
international standards. It
could also help to mitigate
the recent worrying
revelation that we have lost
more than two thirds of our
wildlife in the past 40 years.

compensation. Long-term
data at Save The Elephants,

the monitoring of illegal
killing of elephants, are
beginning to show fewer
killings for ivory, but
increasing deaths due to
conicts with humans.
Other wildlife species are
also being killed, reducing
their numbers for similar
reasons, yet are the main
product in tourism. These
situations can be mitigated
and brought to manageable
levels through eective
land-use planning that only
allows conservation-friendly
activities within wildlife
corridors and dispersal
areas. Save The Elephants
tracks 99 elephants across
the country, with the KWS,
providing data that helps to
scientically dene these
linkages. Increasing needs
for land as the population
grows are a challenge.

T
he battle for the critical Maasai vote
between President Uhuru Kenyatta
and his main challenger Raila Odinga
in the August 8 General Election is expected
to be inuenced by three critical issues: Land
rights, Mau Forest and clan politics.
Since Mr Odingas June 15 comments warn-
ing the Maa against selling their land due to
poverty, the place of the pastoralist vote was
brought to the national limelight. President
Kenyatta later termed the National Super
Alliance (Nasa) presidential candidates
sentiments as inciting residents against
migrant communities.
Maa-speaking communities collectively
have an estimated 600,000 registered
voters spanning Narok, Kajiado, Samburu,
Laikipia and Baringo counties.
While President Kenyatta insists he has
made their lives better, Mr Odinga disagrees,
pointing out that they are no better than
they were in 2013. And the Orange Demo-
cratic Movement (ODM) party leader has
promised to change this state of aairs if
elected next month.
The Jubilee Party leader and presidential
candidate has been using appointments to

I never said that they should return

presidential debate. Those who have bought
their land, no one will take it away.
All I said is that they should not continue
selling the land if they are poor Those that
have large acres can go on and do that. Raila
wants an integrated country.
Mr Odinga insisted that he had at no time
sought the eviction of any community.
Two weeks after Mr Odingas inciting re-
marks, the President pitched tent in Kajiado,
where he said Jubilee had the solution.

He further ordered banks to release to

Mr Odinga, who defended the expansive
Mau Forest Complex and paid for it dearly
with the loss of the populous Rift Valley vote
in 2013, was unapologetic about what he says
is dear to the Maa: Their land.
Punish their people
The story of the Maa and the battle to
conserve the Mau is intertwined with that
of the ambitious Deputy President William
Rutos. When Mr Odinga led the evictions
of families from the water tower, majority of
them Kalenjin, Mr Ruto revolted, backed by
the rebellious Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto,
who is now a Nasa co-principal, in alleging
that the then-Prime Minister was out to
punish their people.

SWING REGION
Rumble in the
Coast: Jubilee,
Nasa pull out
all the stops to
woo 1.7m voters
BY DANIEL NYASSY
@NyassyDaniel
dnyassy@ke.nationmedia.com
W
ith the elections beckoning, the
countrys main political forma-
tions Nasa and Jubilee are in
a major scramble for a slice of the 1.7 million
votes at the Coast.
And while the opposition is keen to main-
tain its supremacy in the region, the ruling
party appears determined to turn the tables,
or at least share the spoils.
In the 2013 polls, ODM had a walk in the
park, scooping four out of the six gubernato-
rial seats save for Tana River, which went
to Wiper and Lamu to UDF and almost all
the parliamentary seats in the region.
But Jubilee has this time round shown
unusual determination to change the way
votes go in the region.
The Jubilee leaders are optimistic that un-
like in 2013 when they got little support from
locals, the tide, they believe, has shifted.
President Kenyatta and his deputy last
week were in a whirlwind one-week tour of
all the six counties of Tana River, Lamu,
Kili, Mombasa, Kwale and Taita-Taveta,
to consolidate their support ahead of the
August 8 elections.
And in their wake, they delivered bags of
goodies to residents, including hundreds of
title deeds, commissioned mega infrastruc-
ture projects and countless promises if they
are re-elected on August 8.
However, what is emerging clearly is that
while Nasa looks organised, the Jubilee team
appears disjointed, with their key point men
busy ghting for personal survival in their
own backyards instead of ghting for their
party.
For instance, ODM deputy party leader
and Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has
remained steadfast with the Nasa Pentagon
members traversing the country to drum up
support for the coalition.
Other opposition lieutenants too, like Kili
Governor Amason Kingi, Mombasa Woman
Rep Mishi Mboko and her Kili counterpart
Aisha Jumwa, have stuck with the team led
by their ag-bearer Raila Odinga.
They are always seen with the leaders in
many rallies across the country and all the
meetings across the coast.
Kili North MP Gideon Mungaro, the
Jubilee point man in Coast, on the other
hand, has of late been increasingly been
missing in campaigns, only seen when
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy
William Ruto hold rallies in the area.

PRESIDENT COMES
CALLING WITH GOODIES
In 2013, more than 95 per cent of all
the elected leaders in all the six coastal
counties were from the opposition, with
ODM taking the lions share.
It goes without saying that Jubilee has
made some inroads in the coast perhaps
due to the many multi-million projects
initiated in the past four years but the
region largely remains a strong opposition
zone.
However, instead of working as a team
to lessen the strong opposition grasp in
the region, Jubilee point men have chosen
to bury themselves in the grassroots
campaigns in order to raise their chances
of winning the elections.
They have not had time to accompany
the Jubilee leaders around Coast, leave
alone to other parts of the country.
On the other hand, opposition
lieutenants, like Kili Governor Amason
Kingi, Mombasa Woman Rep Mishi Mboko
and her Kili counterpart Aisha Jumwa,
have stuck together.
(Kwale Governor), Taveta MP Naomi
Shaban, Taita-Taveta Woman Rep Joyce Lay,
Tana River Governor Hussein Dado, among
others, have not had time to accompany the
Jubilee leaders around Coast, leave alone to
other parts of the country.
It goes without saying that Jubilee has
made some inroads in the coast perhaps

To them, its a matter of everyone for

didate trying to remove the hot charcoal tion, said Prof Kiwinda, adding that the
from his or her lap, as the traditional say-
ing goes.
The Coast region is a political hotbed, with
analysts saying it carries great importance
as a swing vote region.
Principals of both Nasa and Jubilee have,
as a result, been making unprecedented trips
to the region in a desperate hunt for the 1.7
million votes. One reason for the height-
ened political activity on the coast is that the
region does not seem to be decided where
to go while other regions such as Nyanza,
Central, Western and Rift Valley, among oth-
ers, have decided, said Prof Morris Kiwinda
Mbondenyi in a recent interview.
The law scholar said Coast had tradi-
tionally voted with the government with
its residents known to be peaceful people
who dislike antagonism, valuing instead the
comfort of remaining in government.
But ODM changed this scenario in 2013,
creating a wave of new ideologies and a
fresh awakening of historical injustices,
devolution and purported solutions to the
nagging squatter problem which convinced
the voter, he said.
Land problem
As a result, the opposition swept the board
in the 2013 polls in Coast because of the
new hope and euphoria created.
But things could change now. Jubilee is
trying to reverse this trend by addressing the
land problem by issuing title deeds, initiating
major projects and addressing marginalisa-

But even though the Coast has been an
opposition zone in the last two elections,
Jubilee wants to wrest this away and put a
foothold in the region which the opposition
is not ready to let go, resulting in the erce
political battle.
Mr Mungaro says the ght for the votes
is to make sure the region is in government

We are ghting hard for our people to

Spears drawn
in grand battle
for Maaland
CONTINUED FROM P. 21
Jubilee but they spat in our
faces. Now, the Maasai have
decided to be their own
friends because those we
had in Jubilee exploited our
votes and resources.
For Jubilee, it is a case of
closing the gates when the
goats have already bolted.
But the Uhuru-Odinga
battle for the Maasai vote
did not begin in 2013.
For Mr Odinga, it is that
of a man who in 2007 was
overwhelmingly backed by
the region for the top seat
but is, in 2017, battling for
a half of the votes, hardened
by well-oiled, immensely -
nanced Jubilee forays.
The local leadership
has also been thrown o-
balance and is almost in
tatters making it ripe
for seduction following
the death of a man who
bestrode the community
and national politics like a
colossus: Former Cabinet
minister William Ronkorua
ole Ntimama, who died in
September last year.
Blow to Maa unity
In active politics for close
to four decades spanning
four presidents, Ntimama,
an eloquent and master
orator, had taken over the
unofficial yet respected
role of community spokes-
man, making it easy for the
Maa to negotiate for space
in politics.
The recent death of In-
terior Cabinet Secretary
Major-General (Rtd) Joseph
Nkaissery, a man earmarked
as Ntimamas heir, further
dealt a blow to the Maa push
for a united front.
Narok Governor Samwel
Tunai, who leads the Jubilee
brigade in his county, how-
ever argues that the Maa
had charted their course and
the only way their votes will

If we go to opposition, we

He put the governments

past the 50 per cent mark.

A
s the August 8 election ap-
proaches, candidates seeking
elective seats have gone into
overdrive, crossing valleys and climb-
ing hills, as they search for votes.
Armed with copies of their manifes-
toes, some have mounted door to door
campaigns, moving from one area to
another on foot, boda boda or matatu,
and holding political rallies in last-ditch
eorts to woo voters.
In Nakuru County for instance, un-
like their heavily funded competitors,
having large convoys, blaring music
to attract residents, a large number of
women candidates are struggling to
make an impact in the campaigns.
Many of them lack the nancial mus-
cle to mount amboyant campaigns.
This has, however, not dampened
their spirits.
Some do not have campaign post-
ers, but despite this, they are going
an extra mile to emerge victorious in
the elections.
Their day starts in the wee hours
and ends way past midnight as they
seek to convince voters to give them
an opportunity to serve them.
Ms Risper Ouma is an example. She
is seeking to represent the densely
populated Kivumbini Ward, as an
independent candidate.
Ms Ouma said despite the problems
faced trying to reach the electorate, she
believes she is the most qualied person
for the seat.
Given an opportunity, I will uplift
the lives of residents in this ward. It is
a known fact that previous leaders have
not done much to not only improve
their lives but also develop the region.
This will change under my leadership,
she says.
But it has not been an easy ride. The

I have been called unprintable names

succeed, said Ms Ouma.
Ms Irene Chebichii, who is con-
testing the Soin Ward seat in Rongai
Sub- county is another example.
She is among the youngest can-
didates in the race but she vowed
to ght on until she attains her goal
to represent the youth in the county
assembly. Ms Chebichii was nominated
in the outgoing assembly.
Another determined candidate, who
claims she was robbed of her victory
in the Jubilee primaries and has vowed
to ght to the ballot box, is Ms Flor-
ence Njoroge. She is contesting the
Elburgon Ward seat as an Independ-
ent candidate.
Another independent candidate, who
claims the primaries were awed, is
Ms Janet Wamaitha. She is seeking the
Subukia Ward seat and says she lost
by 180 votes.
Exuding condence is Ms Julian Njeri
Kuria, who is vying for the Flamingo
Ward seat on a Kanu ticket and says
she is ready to wrest the seat from the
Jubilee candidate.

Nairobi county governments rev-

The total revenue collected in the
rst nine months of the 2016/17 s-

compared to Sh9.62 billion generated
in a similar period in 2015/16.
A report by Controller of Budget
Agnes Odhiambo stated that City
Hall spent Sh15.13 billion, released
for operations, with Sh13.65 billion
going to recurrent expenditure, while
Sh1.48 billion was spent on develop-
ment activities.
The county incurred the highest
development expenditure of Sh115.6
million on routine maintenance of
roads and drainages across the city,
followed by Sh.107.88 million on pur-

ven though your walls might
be nicely nished, sometimes
you might need to have some
material placed on them for
decorative, protective or insulation
purposes. This is known as siding or
cladding, and the extra material can be
placed on an interior or exterior wall.
The cladding can be secured to the
wall directly using mortar, or glued
or pinned onto an intermediary layer
such as a wooden sheet, says Mr Mar-
tin Rubare, an interior designer and the
project administrator at Etlarge Interiors
in Nairobi.
While its primary purpose is to add
aesthetic appeal to the building, protect-
ing the wall underneath is also a key
reason for cladding, says Mr Martin
Wanyeri, the director of Interior Place
Kenya. He adds that when properly
done, cladding greatly improves the
look of a house. Besides, it can help
keep it warm.
Cladding can be done using a variety of
materials, including glass, metal, stucco,
marble, porcelain and graphite, and the
costs vary depending on the material
used, says Mr Wanyeri. However, it is
important to use the right material for
the wall youre cladding.

its aesthetic value, also keeps moisture

The inside
Interior wall cladding should not only
form part of the dcor, but also act as a
thermal shield to keep the house warm
during the cold season. In addition, it
should absorb sound, making it perfect
for noisy households and busy oces.
Vinyl cladding, which is widely used
because it is eective in wet areas and
is relatively aordable, can be used in
places with lots of rainfall or moisture.
Aluminum composite cladding, which is
durable, can also be used. Wood cladding
is a good option for interiors since it is
strong, with the knot scars and grains
enhancing the exquisite look. However,
it is costly to install and maintain.
Engineered wood, which is made of
wood chips mixed with resins and wax
then heat and pressure-treated, is also
good for use on interior walls and the
ceiling.
Particularly suitable for wet areas in-
doors, laminate cladding is better than
ceramic tiles, for instance,
and is commonly used in
bathrooms. It is strong,
does not chip or fade, and
is cheaper compared with the
other options.

available in the
country include

mazeras, bluestone,
yellow stone and coral stone,

Meanwhile, brick cladding adds nice
details on interior walls and is similar
in quality to stone siding.
Fibre cement, a bre-reinforced, du-
rable cement sheet or weatherboard, is
probably among the best siding materi-
als, particularly due to its strength and
beauty. It has a wood-like nish, aord-
able and requires little maintenance.

External siding calls for a material
that, in addition to its aesthetic value,
is also durable and resistant to moisture.
It should also contribute to energy ef-

This makes insulated vinyl a good
choice since it is provides insulation, is
weather resistant, and comes in easy-to-
replace panels in case of damage.

egant and beautiful, especially in oces
and commercial building blocks, says
Mr Wanyeri. Metal cladding is strong

veneer is an equally good choice.
Stucco is also used on outside walls
and can be applied directly on to block

an a weatherproong coat. It comes in
a variety of nishes.
Fibre cement is also viable for exteriors
of walls and is mainly used on timber
walls. It requires little maintenance
and prevents damage by water and

sealing, and does not oer much heat
insulation.
Wood cladding may also be used on
the exterior walls, but not extensively.
And it has to be properly treated to
protect it from the exteriors adverse
conditions, says Mr Rubare.
Mixed or composite cladding, which
involves using a heavyweight cladding
material on the lower parts of the build-
ing and a lighter one above, is also an
option. But it needs to be done care-
fully because the joint between the two
claddings can cause waterproong and
airtightness glitches. It is also costly
since it involves overlapping materials,
techniques and frameworks.
3D wall panelling is another practical
technique to add creativity to your walls
by giving the siding an extra dimension.

all you need
re you tired of the ritual
to do is call you have to perform
the mobile every time you get back
home? You know, where
number you get out of the car, open the gate,
allocated to support it with stones to prevent
your gate
it from swinging shut, drive into
the compound and then go back
and - voili! to close it?
Well, you dont have to do this
any longer, thanks to technology,
which has made it possible to have
automated gates. Yes, your gate can
open itself for you after you dial it
from wherever you are. So you need
not wake up the whole household
when you return home late after that
unusually long day at work.
An automated gate functions
like a TV remote. When approach-
ing your gate, or if someone tells
you that they are at the gate, all
you have to do is call the SIM card
mobile number allocated to it. The
GSM switch picks the call then dis-
connects it, but it does not use up
airtime. The gate opens, then once
you, or your visitor, are inside, you
call the number again and the gate
automatically closes.
Alternatively, you can set the
GSM switch to auto close. This
allows you to determine how long
the gate remains open, say 20 sec-
onds, before it closes. When you
use this setting, do not have to call
the gate twice because it will open
and close itselfwithin the interval
you have set.
Automated gates are very conven-
ient and add to user safety, given
that you do not have to call those
inside to come and open for you.
They are particularly convenient at
night or in rainy weather because
you do not have to hoot or call to
wake up someone in the house
to open the gate for you, which
often ends up waking the whole
household.
With an automated gate, you
gain access to your compound
quietly and faster, and with mini-
mum disturbance to others. All you
need to do is press a button and
the gate opens, oers Mr Anthony
Kioi, the director of Vibro Damp-
ers Engineering (VDE), a rm that
builds automated gates in Ngara,
Nairobi.
How an automated gate works
AN AUTOMATED GATE is con-
nected to a GSM Switch that uses
a SIM card yes, a mobile number.
The Sim card is loaded with airtime
to activate it. You then save this
number in your phone as Gate or
Gate1, Gate2, Gate3, depending on
the number of gate keys the installer
allows you. Gate keys are the people
in a home who are authorised to open
and close the gate.
The GSM Switch is connected to a
motor that is connected to an electric
power source and batteries.
An automated gate functions like
a mobile phone. When approaching
your gate or if someone tells you that
they are at the gate, you call the
gates Sim card number. The GSM
Switch picks the call and disconnects
it, but it does not use up airtime. The
gate opens, and once the person is
inside, you call the number again and
the gate closes.
Alternatively, you can set the GSM
switch to auto close. This allows you
to detemine how long you want the
the gate to remain open before it
closes.
Since automated gates are pro-
grammed, they enhance safety
because in a risky situation, say if
you are attacked at home or in the
oce, you need not get out of the
house or oce to close them.
In addition, they save manpower
since all it takes to open them is a
phone call or press of a button.
At places where you need to
install heavy or huge gates, auto-
mation certainly makes it easier
for you to operate them, says Mr
Edward Kiaria Kinoti, the market-
ing manager at Distinction Point
Suppliers, a Nairobi-based rm that
installs automated gates.
Automated gates come in various
types and models, and depending
on the degree of automation you

and power down. keeping you
informed at all times
Now, given that the gate is oper-
ated by electricity, will I be locked
out of omy compound when theres
a blackout? you might ask.
The answer is no because even
if there is a power outage, you can
still access your home or business
premises because there is always a
battery back-up system in place.
However, in the event it, too, is
exhausted, there is a manual mecha-
nism of restoring an automated gate
back to a manual analogue system.
All you have to do is open the motor
and set it to manual free mode.
This sets the gate to the original
mechanical way of opening. Although
this rarely happens, it is factored in

when it comes to parking, because
they accommodate more cars.
With a slide gate, a car can be
parked as close as 2 inches from
the gate. This is why I always
advise parking lots to go for slide
rather than swing gates, shares
Mr Kioi.
Another factor that gives slide
gates an advantage over swing gates
is that they use only one motor

by two motors one on each side.

Notably, an automated gate
does not have to be new; an exist-
ing gate can be automated. A quick
look through the market indicates
that it would cost about Sh120,000
to automate an existing gate while
a new automated gate would cost
a minimum of Sh170,000, and
can cost up to as much as of
Sh250,000, depending on the in-
dividual design and the material(s)
it is made of.
For instance, gates that com-
bine original steel and hardwood
are quite expensivebecause of the
cost of the materials and the work
involved, oers Mr Kinoti.
Mr Kioi concurs, adding: Hard-
wood does not come cheap, but it
has that aesthetic appeal and is
prestigious as well. There is an
aspect of class to it.
Should you decide to install an
automated gate, you can choose
between a slide gate and a swing
gate. Slide gates open sideways,
while swing gates open by sway-
ing to the inside or outside. This
functionality aspect makes slide
tenance costs.
Besides, the rate of wear and tear
in swing gates is higher than in slide
gates. This is because of the the
strain the hinges are under when
the gate is pushed. This makes,
the repair and maintenance costs
of swing gates higher than those
of sliding gates.
Mr Kioi cites as an example a
company for whom they maintain
10 swing residential gates and 10
company slide gates.
The swing gates may be used
about six times a day each, while
the company gates are used nu-
merous timesy, with more than
300 employees walking in and out
at dierent times, but the residen-
tial swing gates are more costly to
repair and maintain. Even though
I am in this business, I always ad-
vise my customers to go for slide
gates rather than swing gates, says
Mr Kioi.
Other types of automated gates
include roller gates for business
premises and garages, which just
roll up.

Retractable gates open by folding

manner. And to close, it just unfolds

FYI
Factors to consider when
choosing a gate
1. The space for sliding. The
sliding edge should not be the
one housing the gatekeeping
room. You should think about the
space for sliding the gate when
building so that the house is not
built too close to the perimeter
wall to allow for sliding space. A
space of about six inches from the
perimeter wall is enough room for
the gate toslide
2. Sliding gates are less costly.
Even without automation, sliding
gates are the latest trend as they
create more room for parking space
and since they do not swing, their
hinges remain in good condition
longer than those of swing gates.
They, therefore, cost less in repair
and maintenance.
3. Height limitation. Some
people construct a concrete
bar on top of a sliding gate on
which they x pieces of broken
glass to deter people who might
want to force their way into their
permanent limit to the height of
vehicles entering their compound.
And there are better ways of doing
this. For instance, electric fencing
can be designed together with
the gate and automatically set
in such a way that when the
gate is sliding open, the fence

A

rica following last weeks launch
of a Sh200 billion industrial and
manufacturing hub in the North
Rift Economic Bloc (Noreb).
Known as the AEZ Pearl River
Industrial Park, the economic hub
will be built and operated by Chinese
rm Guandong New South Group
and the African Economic Zones
(AEZ), which is part of tycoon David
Lagats DL group of companies.
AEZ already has interests in real
estate, agribusinesses and energy in
Kenya and Tanzania while their Chi-
nese partners have shown interest in
investing in the hospitality, energy,
and construction industries, among
others, as well as introducing Chinese
medicine to the trading bloc.
The special economic zone will be
developed on a 700-acre piece of
land in Plateau in Eldoret, and will
host a variety of industries, including
agro processors, ICT hubs, energy-
sector companies, engineering and
construction firms and chemical
industries.
Business experts say the parks lo-
cation in Plateau is strategic, since
it will be easily accessible via the
Eldoret International Airport.
More than 40 Chinese companies
are expected to set up base in the
park, which is expected to boost trade
in the Comesa region.
AEZ project director Ronald Kirui
said the rst phase of the park will
comprise agro processing, energy,
machinery, electronics, ICT, en-
gineering and pharmaceuticals
industries.
The second and third phases will
comprise a science and technology
park and a social centre known
as Olympia City, which will host
hotels, shopping malls, local and
international schools, hospitals and
4,000 residential units, among other
social amenities.
The industrial park is one of a
kind in the East African region, where
Kenya and the entire East African
Community and the Comesa region
will enjoy major economic strides,
said Deputy President William Ruto
during the launch.
Economists estimate that when
fully operational, the parks annual
production output will be about $3
billion dollars (Sh309 trillion), which
is about 5 per cent of the countrys
gross domestic product (GDP).
Roads, railways and airports,
among other public infrastructure
in the Northern Corridor, are set to
undergo major upgrades to further
ease trade between the Noreb region
and its business partners in the cor-
ridors member states of Burundi,
the Democratic Republic of Congo,
Rwanda, Uganda as well as South
Sudan.
Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson
Mandago, whose county will host
the park, listed a number of infra-
structural improvements he said
were necessary to enhance the
eciency of the industrial park for
both investors and consumers.
He singled out the need to extend
the Standard Gauge Railway to the
Ugandan border via Uasin-Gishu to
ease the transportation of cargo.
Shah, Human beings tend to get preoc-
cupied with their daily work and forget
the value of sleeping well. Good sleep
is not only dependent on the amount of
hours spent in bed, but by the quality of
bedding materials, especially mattresses
and pillows.
But with so many types of mattresses
on the market, customers might nd it
dicult to choose the right one. The key
aspects of a good mattress are durability
and comfort, Ms Shah notes.

Row over Kisumu Countys unnished town upgrade projects

BY SILAS APOLLO
@apollosilas
sapollo@ke.nationmedia.com
The Kisumu County govern-
ment has been criticised for
its failure to fully implement a
Sh4 billion town upgrade project
intended to transform the towns
sprawling slums into middle-
class neighbourhoods.
Just weeks to the end of his
term, Governor Jack Ranguma is
on the spot for poor implemen-
tation of the projects, which also
included remodelling the mar-
kets within the towns centre.
PHOTO | FILE The developments, which
A section of the Nyalenda slum, which were part of the Kisumu Urban
was to be upgraded. Project (KUP) funded by the
French government to the tune
of Euros 40 million (Sh4.8 bil-
lion), sought to open up more
land in the Nyalenda, Obunga,
Bandani and Kaloleni slums for
investment, as well as improve
the citys infrastructure.
However, some leaders and
residents say none of these
projects has been completed,
attributing the failure to lack of
a management board to oversee
the implementation.
Among the projects they say
have been abandoned is the
construction of roads leading to
the slums, the rehabilitation of
markets, and the relocation of
the Kachok Dumpsite.
The buck stops with the
governor, who is yet to con-
stitute a board. The lack of a
board has greatly hampered the
implementation of the KUP. We
should have allowed KUP to be
independent, and therefore,
more efficient, said Kisumu
East MP and former mayor
Shakeel Shabbir.
Meanwhile, the Kisumu
Residents Voice Association
Chairman, Mr Audi Ogada, ac-
cused the governor of misplaced
priorities and a deliberate eort
to frustrate the projects.
The governor must take the
lions share of the blame for the
collapse of the projects. In my
estimation, only about two per
cent of projects have been com-
pleted, Mr Ogada said.
The slum upgrade project
intended to increase the hous-
ing units in the slums from the
current 15 per hectare to 17 to
accommodate more people. The
slum residents were to be asked
to lease their land to the county
government for the construction
of houses to be rented out to
the public.
To ensure that land owners
did not lose in the process, they
would be oered a percentage of
co-ownership of the properties
as stipulated in the countrys
change-of-tenure policy, in
consultation with the National
Land Commission.
Funds had been allocated for
the renovation of the Kibuye
(Sh350 million) Otonglo (Sh170
million) and Jubilee (Sh270
million) markets, while Sh800
million had been allocated for
the relocation of the Kachok
Dumpsite, former city manager
Doris Ombara says.
When contacted, acting
county secretary Dr Ojwang
Lusi defended Governor Ran-
guma, saying the constitution of
the board was on course.
The process was going on
well until somebody went to
court to challenge it. But once
the case is dispensed with, we
will continue, said Mr Lusi.
However, a number of schools
have been upgraded.

Pressure > Threats against MP of charges for publicly calling for president Zuma to step down
ANC lawmaker calls for secret
no-condence ballot on Zuma
Speaker Mbete has
said she needs time to
decide whether she
can allow secret ballot
BY PETER DUBE
NATION Correspondent
PRETORIA, Wednesday
O
utspoken ruling African
National Congress (ANC)
lawmaker, Makhosi Khoza,
has called for a secret ballot dur-
ing the no-confidence motion
against the partys leader Presi-
dent Jacob Zuma.
The vote is set for August 8.
Breaking-rank with her partys
position, the MP posted on Face-
book that she was convinced that
fellow ANC legislators are being
intimidated to vote in favour of the
president against their will.
Ms Khoza said there are no
rules in ANC that say people
must support leaders who have
lost credibility.
We are ocially in a dicta-
torship when ethical voices are
suppressed. We are ocially in a
dictatorship when choosing the
people over amoral leadership is
treasonous.
When the supreme law of
the land is trampled [on], Ms
Khoza wrote. South Africas
Speaker Baleka Mbete told poli-
ticians to allow her time to decide
whether MPs will use a secret or
open ballot. This was after the
constitutional court ruled last
month that the decision was at
her discretion.
Opposition parties had sought
the courts ruling over the ballot-
ing system. Last week, the ANC

despite battle
KAMPALA, Tuesday
The number of South Sudanese refu-
gees eeing to neighboring Uganda has
reduced despite continued ghting back
home, a new report by the UN Refugee
Agency has said.
According to the situation report by
the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees (UNHCR), the number in
June went down to over 600 from the
2,000 recorded daily several months
ago.
Ms Katherine Wainwright, Senior
External Relations Associate UNHCR
Uganda, told Xinhua on Tuesday by
telephone that the reduction could
be attributed to several factors. She
highlighted one as the ongoing rainy
season which impedes the movement
of refugees.
She said the majority of the refugees
move through bushes to cross to Uganda
fearing to be arrested by armed groups
who mount road blocks. Almost eve-
ryone that comes across is travelling
through the bush for many days. This
becomes more dicult obviously in the
rain season, she said.
The other factor is said to be re-
duced ghting near the border of the
two countries. This reduces the eeing.
Wainwright said although the number

Egypt backs reunion of SPLM factions

BY JOSEPH ODUHA
NATION Correspondent
Egypt will back eorts to reunite warring
factions of the Sudanese Peoples Liberation
Movement (SPLM), led by Ugandas President
Yoweri Museveni.
Egyptian ambassador to South Sudan, Mr
Ayman Elgamal said Cairo favoured the reunion
of SPLM in order to achieve peace and stability
in the war-torn country. Egypt will support the
reunion of the SPLM and the revitalisation of the
South Sudan Peace Agreement to end the war
and the suering of the people in South Sudan,
he said. The partys factions include SPLM-In
Government, led by President Salva Kiir, SPLM-
In Opposition, whose leader is former deputy
president Riek Machar, and former detainees.
Mr Elgamal made the remarks while attending
the National Day of the Arab Republic of Egypt
held in Juba on Tuesday.
He also called for the full deployment of the
4,000-strong UN-backed Regional Protection
Force to secure Juba. Civil strife broke out in
December 2013, two years after the country se-
ceded from Sudan. A peace deal signed in August
2015 led to the formation of a transitional unity
government.

Sh643 million cancer centre to be built at MP Shah

Bangalore-based HealthCare
Global Enterprises Ltd (HCG),
one of Indias largest cancer
treatment hospital chains, has
partnered with Cancer Care
Kenya Ltd (CCK) and MP
Shah Hospital to invest $6.25
million (Sh643 million) in a
cancer centre in Nairobi.
Through HCG Kenya, the
Indian rm will have a 77.6
per cent stake in the facility
while MP Shah Hospital will
have 10 per cent with other
partners controlling 12.4 per
cent.
The centre will occupy two
floors of the upcoming MP
Shah Hospital complex in
Parklands, Nairobi.
The eight-storey building
will house oncology wards,
physiotherapy and maternity
units with an expected capac-
ity of between 100 and 300
beds.
We want to make sure
that we reduce the enormous
economic impact of Kenyan
patients who come to India
seeking the same treatment
by providing the same here
through MP Shah and other
oncology hospitals in the long
run, said HCG Enterprises
Ltd founder and chairman,
Dr BS Ajaikumar.
Kenyans seeking PET CT
scan currently fly to India,
South Africa, Egypt and Mo-
rocco at a cost of Sh229,000
($2,200) a session or Sh415,00
($4,000) inclusive of travel
and accommodation, HCG
Africa Director Dinesh Mad-
havan said.
This cost will be cut by
about 40 per cent come April
2018 when we set up the PET
CT at the HCG CCK facility at
MP Shah. We are certain the
services will be up by then,
he said.
Further technologies like

ment will be introduced.

NBK, in which KCB Group report-

said its half-year net prot had tumbled

This is attributed to lower earnings
from loans, with net interest income
dropping by a third to Sh2.8 billion in
June 2017 compared to Sh4.4 billion the
previous year, as the interest rate caps

Strategy > Country plans to broaden appeal to compete with renowned destinations such as Kenya
Rwanda targets high-end tourist market
Since May, visitors have
been paying Sh155,850 per
person to see countrys
world-famous gorillas
KIGALI, Wednesday
N
icaraguan singer Hernaldo Zu-
niga brought his entire family
to trek through the lush forests
and mist-shrouded volcanoes of north-
western Rwanda in search of mountain
gorillas.
He described their encounter with the
critically endangered primates as an al-
most spiritual experience, and said it
was the only reason they made Rwanda a
stop on a trip taking in a safari in Kenya,
and a tour of South Africa.
But Rwanda is no longer content with
being a whirlwind stop on a tourists itin-
erary, and is working hard to broaden its
appeal beyond its world-famous moun-
tain gorillas while narrowing its niche
market to the wealthiest of visitors.
Zuniga counts himself lucky that his
family of ve scored their permits to see
the gorillas before Rwandas eyebrow-
raising move to double the cost to
Sh155,850 ($1,500) per person in May.
I think that is going to be a drawback
for many people. It is just going to be
an elite group of people who can pay
that, said Zuniga, a well-known star in
Latin America.
For Rwanda, however, the price
increase is part of a careful strategy
to boost conservation efforts while
positioning itself as a luxury tourist
destination.
The idea behind (the increase) is
that it is an exclusive experience, which
also needs to be limited in numbers. Our
tourism is very much based on natural
resources and we are very serious about
conservation, said Clare Akamanzi, the
chief executive of the Rwanda Develop-
ment Board.
It is a high-value, low-impact strategy
that has worked well for countries such
as Botswana and Bhutan.
The remote, mountainous border area
straddling Rwanda, the Democratic Re-
public of Congo (DRC) and Uganda is
the only place in the world where one
can see the gorillas, whose numbers have
slowly increased to nearly 900 due to
conservation eorts.
Permits in the DRC (Sh41,560) and
Uganda (Sh62,340) are far cheaper, but
Rwandan ocials are not concerned that
they will lose tourists to their neighbours,
arguing the country oers an experience
that is rare in the region.
Ever since the devastating 1994 gen-

were killed, the country has been praised
for a swift economic turnaround.
When you come to Rwanda it is a
clean, organised, safe country with zero
tolerance for corruption. We have con-
centrated on creating a good experience,
said Akamanzi, also highlighting a quick
visa process.
The challenge is getting tourists to
make Rwanda their main destination,

and spend more than the usual four
days it takes to visit the gorillas and
maybe the genocide museum before
heading elsewhere.
We want to keep it high-end as an
anchor for tourism but provide other
oerings, said Akamanzi. She said tour-
ism is already the countrys top foreign
exchange earner, but believes they have
only scratched the surface.

shops close
in tax rise
protest
ADDIS ABABA, Tuesday
Shops closed their doors in
Addis Ababas largest market
on Tuesday in protest at a
recent hike in business taxes,
bringing anger over the
policy to the nations capital.
Small businesses receiving
their annual assessments
have found themselves taxed
at rates up to four times
higher than in previous years.
That is according to resi-
dents of two towns outside
Addis Ababa where strikes
started earlier this month.
Both towns are in Oromia,
where violent anti-govern-
ment protests broke out in
2015 that were only quelled
when a nationwide state of
emergency was imposed last
October.
Since then, Oromia has
mostly been at peace, but
this weeks strike is the rst
instance of widespread, or-
ganised resistance against
the government since the
emergency decree. Shops and
bus companies in the Oromia
town on Incinni closed for
three days last week in pro-
test of the tax hike, a local
resident told AFP on condi-
tion of anonymity for fear of
retaliation. (AFP)

additional funds, or ask for a loan if you need to.
Its a fortunate time, so dont be shy.
LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23
The planetary energies are encouraging you to
make some adjustments regarding your social
ambitions. You may desire to change professions
or your circle of friends. This is trickier than you
might think, as the culture of your current world
is an extension of you.
SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22
This planetary energy is going to test your
recurring desire to go to the other side of the
world or have a ready exit in any relationship.
You do this so you wont feel trapped..This is one
of your strengths, Scorpio, but its also one of
your weaknesses throughout this week.
SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21
Sagittarius? You know interactions with others
help you learn and grow. This is the case for
everyone. But for you, especially, relationships
are important because they help keep you
grounded. Too often you dream about reality
rather than confront it.
CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20
The end of one cycle signals the beginning of a
new one. Today, you will embark on a new period
of understanding that harmonizes your energies.
You may have taken more risks than usual lately
as you exposed emotions you normally keep
hidden.

Sarunis fate in Team Kenya should,
hopefully, come to an amicable settle-
ment and the fact that he has remained
in camp is a good sign.
There is no doubting the fact that all
ve athletes in camp Saruni, David
Rudisha, Emmanuel Korir, Kipyegon Bett
and Ferguson Rotich are world class
and deserve a ticket to London.
Korir and Bett are in the team by right,
having clinched the top two places dur-
ing the trials while Saruni and Ferguson
Rotich were third and fourth respectively.
While Rotich has a wildcard by virtue of
having won the Diamond League title
last season, Rudisha is the defending
champion.
Rudishas achievements over the last
few years speak volumes and he is a huge
inspiration to the team. He is also the
world record holder and the rst human
being to run under one minute and 41
seconds, with his world record 1:40.91.
Rudisha is also the world and Olympic
champion.
What would you do if you were in the
shoes of Athletics Kenyas selectors?
One thing is very clear, only four
athletes can be entered and the AK se-
lectors will have to make painful decision
of dropping one of the ve for the trip
to London. It doesnt really matter who
goes, there will still be hue and cry from
fans and the public, either way.
But while tackling this enviable prob-
lem, we must not lose sight of the fact
that Kenya is not competing in the 800
metres alone, and that 42 athletes will
represent the country in many other
events as well. Dwelling too much on
the 800m selection risks disrupting the
teams general focus and could pollute
other performances.
After all, it doesnt really matter who
wins the 800m title in London at the nal
on August 8 on the same day as we go
to the polls in the General Election as
long as he is Kenyan!
The team to London needs the sort of
attention and support our youth were ac-
corded as they ew the ag at the recent
IAAF World Under-18 Championships in
Nairobi. For they are the glue that will
hold our national fabric together during
this tension-packed elections period.
Issues of athletes or ocials belonging
to certain camps need not arise as the
team is united under one camp the
Kenyan camp.

African Safari Classic Rally set
for Kenya and Uganda from No-

Also in the mix is Swedens
Team Tido which will compete
with a three-car team of Por-
sche 911s along with an entry
by Ramesh Vishram who will be
driving a Ford Escort Mk2.
This years rally has attracted
big names, including Stig
Blomqvist, Ian Duncan and
Kabras Sugar Racing who, like
Team Tido, have signed up a
three-car Porsche 911 team.
Making up the Kabras line-up
are the Rai siblings Onkar and
Tejveer and multiple Kenya
Champion Baldev Chager.
Chager has navigated Onkar
over the past two editions in
2013 and 2015 but will be mak-
ing his debut in the event as a
driver, co-driven by Ravi Soni.
Charitable causes
Team Tido and its
Race4Health project have
helped to amplify the social
and economic efforts of the

years, so it is a real pleasure to
know they will be rejoining us
for the 2017 Classic later this
year, said rally director Raju

contract in Europe.
The 21-year-old attacking midelder will
travel to Turkey early next month to nal-
ize a move to Eyyubiye Sanliurfa, which

to the Turkish side by compatriot and ex-
teammate in Kenya Dalmas Otieno, who
has been based in Turkey for the past two
seasons.
The Turkish outt sent representatives
to Nairobi on a scouting mission during the

better for myself, and also help my team-
mates, Munga said.
He is just one of the many success stories
of this competition and we are really happy
for him, said Anne Lokidor, an ocial in
the Nairobi County Governments Minister

His story shows that we have achieved
much more than just sensitizing our youth
