Kimemia stops awed police systems tender

Ocials inated project cost by up to Sh8 billion, says Civil Service boss
BY AGGREY MUTAMBO
amutambo@ke.nationmedia.com he government has cancelled a multi-billion shilling tender for the purchase of police communication and surveillance systems. In a directive sent to Internal Security PS Mutea Iringo last week, Public Service boss Francis Kimemia said the government would no longer proceed with the project because the cost was inated by some ocials who intended to get a cut. Mr Kimemia also cited the cost of supporting county governments and huge demands for salaries by civil servants for cancelling the project. The government cannot afford this exaggerated project in view of other commitments occasioned by devolution, General Election and other priorities of the government now and after the General Election, read part of the letter seen by the Nation.

But the challenge by Huawei brought in a new dimension when the High Court ordered a fresh hearing of the review appeal before the Public Procurement Board which had been scheduled for February 27. The court had earlier stopped the ministry from proceeding with the deal until Huaweis case was heard and determined. However, ZTE Corporation said in its court papers led under a certicate of urgency that it wanted an earlier date for the review, arguing that the dispute involved procurement which is aected by time.

Nairobi: Amani coalition presidential candidate Musalia Mudavadi will play a key role in determining the next President in the event of a run-o, new opinion polls reveal. The polls conducted by Infotrak, Consumer Insight and Strategic Research last weekend show that a run-o is likely between Cords Raila Odinga and his Jubilee rival Uhuru Kenyatta. Page 4 Nairobi: Job creation is the single biggest issue voters want the next president to address, according to results of three surveys.

The move came as Mr Kenyatta hit out at Prime Minister Raila Odingas proposed solutions to land problems. Addressing a rally at Gusii Stadium, Mr Nyachae who had earlier announced that he had retired

MINING | Kehancha in Kuria District among places mapped for mineral deposits
Inventor puts a smile on faces of gold miners

Hundreds have died while digging gold mines, while pregnant women have been giving birth to children with deformities
BY EVERLINE OKEWO
newsdesk@ke.nationmedia.com ecades ago, two geologists visited Migori County and left villagers with high hopes of striking it rich. A valuable mineral had been discovered. Now, 20 years later, nothing much has been done to tap the gold in Macalder. Instead, hundreds of people have died in the process of digging the mines, while pregnant women working in the area have been giving birth to children with deformities. Residents attribute their misfortunes to lack of modern equipment to professionally exploit the mineral. They have been mining gold using mercury mixed with water and powdered stones which they stir to the consistency of porridge before washing o the mercury into their farms. But one man is keen to prevent deaths among residents depending on gold mining as a source of income. He has invented a gold mining machine the ball mill machine. I designed the machine to prevent deaths and to improve the economic livelihoods of those living in poverty, says Mr Graham Ochieng Okello. Mr Okello, 41, says he got the idea for the machine from a friend who went to Zimbabwe on business and returned with a photograph of a gold mining machine. It took me two years to design my rst machine and in 1999, I BACKGROUND
There are many uses of gold

Golds qualities make it one of the most coveted metals in the world. Not only can it be beautifully shaped and sculpted, the yellow metal conducts electricity and does not tarnish. These qualities make it the metal of choice for a wide variety of industries. Gold has been used in dentistry for nearly 3,000 years. The rst book published on dentistry, entitled Artzney Buchlein, appeared in 1530. The book suggests dentists ll cavities and rotten teeth with gold leaf. Thousands of years later gold is still being used for llings, crowns, bridges and orthodontic appliances. Gold can be placed in contact with a persons body and not cause harm. Gold is a highly ecient conductor of electricity and is used in most electronic devices, including cell phones. According to the World Gold Council, a single mobile phone contains up to 50 milligrams of gold. Thats tiny but nearly 1 billion cellphones are produced each year. With a gold value of about 50 cents in each phone, that adds up to $500 million dollars in gold each year! USfunds.com
The Ball Mill
Mr Graham Okello of Graham Welders and Fabricators demonstrates how the Ball Mill machine he invented is used to crush stones with gold ore. The diesel engine makes it easier for workers at Macalder mines to extract the mineral from the powder which is then mixed with water and mercury during the separation process.

eventually came up with the ball mill. Mr Okello says his villagers neither knew nor cared whether mercury was harmful to their health. The cost of making the rst machine was Sh146,000, but this has tremendously increased to Sh4 million. He has made 136 machines and most have been sold internationally, he says. Only one of those he made earlier has been sold locally for Sh300,000. He adds that four more ball mill machines are about to be completed. Says the Migori resident: Most of us here live in abject poverty yet we can also export gold and other minerals that we are told by geologists are spread across the county, to countries like Japan. Mr Okello explains his machine is a multipurpose appliance. It can

mill numerous kinds of rocks for the building materials industry. The machine operates by rotating a cylinder with steel grinding balls. The ball falls back into the cylinder while the material goes to the ground container. For gold mining, the machine uses small steel ball grinders which separate gold ore from dust, after which it is further rened. I am the rst person to make this machine in Kenya, quips Mr Okello. But the machine requires a workforce of about 42 people, making it labour intensive. The turnover from 200 machines, he says, is Sh50,000 per day. To hire the machines costs Sh60,000 a month. The manual workers earn about Sh500 per
day, or Sh15,000 per month. Residents say their lives have been transformed by the invention. Mr Raymond Manyonge, an employee at Graham Engineering Welding Shop says he appreciates the invention since most of his friends have been crushed to death by boulders when they were manually crushing pebbles for gold, deep in the mines. I must admit that the ball mill machine has saved our lives which were at high, mostly from explosives used in the gold mines, said Mr Manyonge. Among the places that have been mapped for gold deposits within the region, are Rongo, Kehancha in Kuria District, Masara and Kehara in Nyatike constituency, Lolgorian area in Trans Mara and some parts of Siaya County.

Polls predict tight State House race

Uhuru and Raila cannot garner enough votes to sail through in rst round vote, say surveys
BY ALPHONCE SHIUNDU
ashiundu@ke.nationmedia.com residential candidates Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga are locked in a statistical dead-heat, new opinion polls show. The two are ghting a race that is possibly as close as 2007, according to three opinion polls commissioned by the Nation Media Group. In data collected between February 14 and February 17, registered voters were asked who they would vote for if the election were held on that day. According to Strategic Research, 44.4 per cent said they would vote for Mr Odinga while 43.9 per cent said they would back Mr Kenyatta. Mr Musalia Mudavadi of Amani coalition had the backing of 6.4 per cent of the respondents, Mr Peter Kenneth of the Eagle coalition was backed by 2.8 per cent, while Ms Martha Karua of Narc Kenya 1.9 per cent. None of the remaining three presidential candidates was supported by more than one per cent of interviewees. Prof James ole Kiyiapi of Restore and Build Kenya got 0.3 per cent, Mr Mohammed Abduba Dida of the Alliance for Real Change got 0.2 per cent and Mr Paul Muite of Sana 0.1 per cent. The survey was conducted in 33 counties and had a margin of error of +/-2 with a condence level of 95 per cent.

Mudavadi to play the kingmaker

BY NATION REPORTER
Amani coalition presidential candidate Musalia Mudavadi will play a key role in determining the next President in the event of a run-o, new opinion polls reveal. The polls conducted by Infotrak, Consumer Insight and Strategic Research last weekend show that a run-o is likely between Cords Raila Odinga and his Jubilee rival Uhuru Kenyatta. Results from the three polls show that whereas Mr Odinga would trounce Mr Kenyatta with a narrow margin in round one, none of them would garner the required 50 per cent plus one of votes cast, leading to a run-o. This would see Mr Mudavadi, who takes the third position, play the kingmaker role by tilting the race in favour of one of the candidates, reveal the surveys sponsored by Nation Media Group. The Infotrak survey shows that Mr Odinga would garner 45.9 per cent of the votes cast if elections were held today, with Mr Kenyatta following closely with 44.4 per cent. Mr Mudavadi would nish a distant third with six per cent. Mr Odinga also leads in Consumer Insight and Strategic Research surveys with 45 per cent and 44.4 per cent, respectively. Mr Kenyatta is second in the two polls with 43 per cent and 43.9 per cent, respectively, and Mr Mudavadi is third with ve and six per cent, respectively. Since Mr Odinga and Mr Kenyatta would require a simple majority to win, they would count on Mr Mudavadi to throw his weight behind them. The average sample size of the surveys carried out in 32 counties was 2,500.
supported by 43 per cent. Mr Mudavadi was the choice of ve per cent of those interviewed, while Mr Kenneth got three per cent and Ms Karua had the support of one per cent. Two per cent of those interviewed were undecided. Infotrak Research and Consulting reported 45.9 per cent of the voters interviewed backed Mr Odinga, and 44.4 per cent supported Mr Kenyatta. Mr Mudavadi was third with six per cent followed by Mr Kenneth at 1.9 per cent, Prof Kiyiapi (0.3 per cent), Ms Karua (0.2 per cent) and Mr Dida with 0.1 per cent. Mr Muite had no signicant scores in the Infotrak poll. However, 1.2 per cent of the voters interviewed said they were yet to make up their minds. Had the election been conducted during the survey period, none of the candidates would have the support of 50 per cent of the 14.3 million registered voters required for a rst round win. Therefore, all things being equal, unless either Mr Odinga or Mr Kenyatta makes serious gains, State House will not have a new tenant until after a run-o in April. The Constitution says a presidential candidate must garner at least 25 per cent of the votes in 24 of the 47 counties to qualify for the highest political oce, a condition only Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga meet, according to the polls. The Constitution directs that the second round of the polls, involving the top two candidates in the rst round, should be held within 30 days after the March 4 General Election. Two pollsters Strategic and Infotrak reported that Mr Odinga was the most popular candidate in Nairobi, Kenyas capital, while Consumer Insight put Mr Odinga behind Mr Kenyatta with a gap of two per cent.
Restore and Build Kenya (RBK) presidential candidate James ole Kiyiapi waves to supporters in Kericho Town yesterday.
Infotrak went a step further and sought to know from respondents how the popularity of the candidates had been aected by the chaotic nominations held a month ago. The results show that Mr Kenyatta gained by 6.7 per cent while Mr Odinga lost by 1.5 per cent. The change could also be as a result of the aggressive campaigns that the Jubilee Coalition has been conducting since the nominations, Mr Kenyattas performance in the presidential debate where he was rated in other opinion polls as the best performer and the High Court ruling which essentially threw out a case seeking to stop him and his running mate, Mr William Ruto, from contesting in the General Election. US President Barack Obamas statement that the US does not support any candidate in the election could have solidied Mr Kenyattas support, but then the diplomatic cautions about electing suspects of crimes against humanity may also have slowed support for the Jubilee Coalition. Mr Odingas popularity losses could

be due to the nominations mess where popular candidates denied party tickets decamped to other parties. The pollsters also, for the rst time, agreed that people have nally decided that they will support a coalition as well as its presidential candidate. Consumer Insight shows that Mr Odinga has a lead in ve regions (Coast, Western, Nyanza, North Eastern and Eastern) while Mr Kenyatta has a lead in Central, Rift Valley and Nairobi. Infotrak shows that Mr Kenyatta will win in Central and Rift Valley, while Mr Odinga will win in Coast, Western, Nyanza, North Eastern, a slim win in Nairobi (three per cent). It shows a near-tie in Eastern, where Mr Odingas running mate, Mr Kalonzo Musyoka, and Jubilee coalition partner Charity Ngilu come from. Strategic Research shows a comfortable win for Mr Odinga in Coast, Nyanza, Western, North Eastern and Nairobi. It also shows a slim win for the PM in Eastern. It gives Mr Kenyatta a convincing win in the vote-rich Central and Rift Valley provinces.

Once more, job creation is highest at 63.7 per cent, inseTHE AGENDA curity comes in second place at 46.4 per cent, corruption at 25.8 per cent and education at 20.9 per cent. Job creation is critical, especially among young voters aged between 18 and 29.

The rest join the estimated 1.2 million young people between the ages of 20 and 24 looking for work. The unemployment rate among this group is at 32 per cent, more than double the national average of 12.7 per cent. In education, most Kenyans are concerned about the cost, quality and transition rates from primary to secondary and university levels. While the free primary education programme increased enrolment from six million in 2002 to 9.3 million in 2010, transition rates are still low at about 60 per cent.

Most women want the next president to give priority to providing water.

The decision, he said, was arrived at internally and was a reaction to calls by supporters that they should be allowed to choose the leaders they want. Prime Minister Raila Odingas recent attempts to call for six-piece voting in his Nyanza stronghold met resistance and there are fears this might lead to voter apathy. Addressing journalists at BACKGROUND Cord secretariat in Nairobi, Mr Bett urged voters to come out and vote on March 4, as failure to do so would give bad leaders a chance. There is need for all registered voters to turn out in big numbers to cast their votes and elect leaders who will steer them to prosperity, he said. Some strong candidates who believe they lost elections unfairly in the ODM primaries joined Cord partner parties and have staged strong opposition in regions where Mr Odingas word has always been nal. In Siaya Mr William Oduol, who initially claimed he won the ODM polls, decamped to National Agenda Party and is giving ODMs Amoth Ratsanga sleepless nights. I welcome the Cord decision. Though I know am winning, I believe the idea will help deal with looming voter apathy caused by chaotic nominations, said Mr Oduol. TO COMMENT ON THESE STORIES GO TO http://elections.nation.co.ke

Amani coalition ag bearer Musalia Mudavadi has accused ODM, which is part of Cord, of fanning ethnic hatred among communities in the western region by claiming that his candidature will help the Jubilee alliance. Mr Mudavadi said the allegations by ODM were divisive and meant to cause conict among Kenyans. They are saying a vote for Amani coalition is a vote for a Kikuyu. Yet just months ago, they were in the G7 group with the Jubilee leaders. Were they not aware at the time of the tribe of Jubilee leaders? he asked. The United Democratic Forum leader said that ODM must avoid doublespeak on sensitive matters that could cause ethnic conict and affect national unity. O n national television, they tell Kenyans to shun tribalism b u t when they come t o you, they tell you how this and that tribe is bad to lead Kenya. But they do not ever say how good you are to lead Kenya, he said, alluding to his candidature. He continued: There is nobody entitled to any votes in Kenya. Mr Mudavadi, who is also Deputy Prime Minister, warned that the kind of politics practised by ODM was likely to lead to ethnic animosity in the country. They should know that the western vote is for Amani. Let them take their hate campaign elsewhere, he said. The Amani presidential candidate said attempts to malign him through propaganda, painting him as a spoiler in the race to State House, was part of a plot by ODM to conceal their fear of losing. He made the remarks in Sabatia yesterday when he hosted a meeting for Amani candidates on strategies to win the coming elections. How can I be a spoiler when I am the only presidential candidate from this region? he asked. He added that those who joined other alliances after failing to be picked as candidates were the traitors and spoilers.
A 40-member team of members from all EAC states except Kenya was yesterday deployed to observe the March 4 polls. The EAC Election Observer Mission will be headed by former East African Legislative Assembly Speaker Abdulrahman Kinana of Tanzania. Addressing the media during the missions launch in Nairobi, EAC secretary-general Richard Sezibera said the team would monitor campaigns, media coverage, and the resolution of poll disputes, among others.

Parties bag their rst seats in poll

BY NATION REPORTER
Prime Minister Raila Odingas ODM and William Rutos URP have each won ve civic seats unopposed ahead of the elections. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission says 12 candidates have been declared winners as they were unopposed. Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyattas The National Alliance (TNA) won two seats in what is seen as a warm-up to next months historic elections. Over 6,000 candidates will vie for civic seats in 1,438 wards. URP and TNA largely won seats in the former North Eastern Province while ODM won in its Nyanza stronghold. The county representative position has attracted a huge number of candidates despite its peripheral role due to attractive pay and increased inuence following the merger of several wards. Holders of seats will have inuence over devolved resources just like MPs did with the Constituency Development Fund. Five years ago, PNU won all civic seats in Nyatike constituency after the defunct ECK disqualied several ODM candidates on technical grounds.

Mr Nyachae stated that it was time for the youth to take up the leadership of the country. For many years the youth have been told they are leaders of tomorrow, I want to tell you the time is now, he noted. Mr Kenyatta promised to tackle unemployment and improve the agricultural sector of elected president. He argued that the best solution to land woes in the country would be to use the parcels to create employment. Instead of threatening to repossess stolen land, they should nd ways of creating employment to the youth to work in those lands so that they can produce food and improve the countrys economy, he said.

Candidates commit themselves to peace in new drive

BY NATION REPORTER
A new drive to promote peace during and after next months election has been launched. Four presidential candidates have signed a code of conduct committing themselves to peaceful campaigns under the drive known as Concerned Kenyans Initiative. It is chaired by retired Lt Gen Daniel Opande. Another presidential candidate was expected to sign yesterday while the rest will sign tomorrow. Members of the Concerned Kenyans are Kenya Red Cross Society secretary-general Abbas Gullet, businessman Joshua Kulei, Nation Media Group chairman Wilfred Kiboro and Mr Paul Gondi. Mr Kiboro said at the Serena Hotel in Nairobi yesterday that candidates would also make a commitment to avoid making inammatory statements and to respect the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. The candidates are also required to accept the election results regardless of who wins and those who are dissatised to seek redress in court. They should understand that the election is not a matter of life and death. Life must continue after March 4, Mr Kiboro said. He said a major rally would be held at Uhuru Park on February 28 where the candidates will commit themselves to peace and to accept the outcome. President Kibaki and former president Moi have been invited. Our concern is for peace today, tomorrow, next year and forever, Lt Gen Opande said. Mr Gondi said the electoral commission had assured them that the electoral system was credible. Those who lose should know theres life after election. After ve years they can try again, Mr Kulei said. Mr Gullet said what united Kenyans was greater than what divided them and that they should thus ensure peace during and after the March 4 polls.
He urged voters to reject presidential candidates Raila Odinga (Cord) and Uhuru Kenyatta (Jubilee) because past divisions would persist if they were elected. Kenya should vote in a new president whose family has never ruled Kenya and if Odinga or Kenyatta got the presidency, sharp dierences would still exist and it is not good for the country which needs a compromising candidate, he said. Addressing supporters in Nandi East constituency while on his way to Kericho County, Prof Kiyiapi urged voters to end the divisions by electing a fresh leaders. The Restore and Build Kenya leader claimed wrong leaders had found themselves in power because of parental history. He promised to unite all Kenyans and ensure the public got basic services and jobs for youths if elected president.

Although the degazettement of the notice will not have immediate nancial implications, it will pave the way for payment of house, medical and commuter allowance arrears amounting to Sh2 billion, which the teachers were demanding to be paid in January. At the same time, Mr Nyamu appealed to the Treasury to release free learning cash. It is sad to note that principals of secondary schools are yet to receive funding, resulting in some suppliers harassing them as they demand payment for laboratory equipment and other items they provided, he said. At the same time, workers are yet to be paid their salaries due to the delay, he added.

His lawyer, Mr Anthony Lubulellah, said that Mr Ruto, who was Agriculture minister, paid the two Sh600,000 to execute the plan.

Pupils may miss KCPE over deaf school dispute

Deaf pupils at a special school shut down due to a pending court case might be locked out of this years KCPE examination, a court heard yesterday. The 150 pupils at the Tumutumu School for the Deaf want the court to order the government to reopen the school pending the determination of an ownership dispute involving the Education ministry, the Teachers Service Commission and the PCEA. They are challenging the government over its responsibility to protect vulnerable groups as enshrined in the Constitution, lawyer June Ashioya told the court. The pupils, through the Kenya Society for Deaf Children and Kenya Association of Parents of Deaf Children, moved to the High Court to have the State compelled to support and re-deploy teachers to the school. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) withdrew teachers from the school in January without providing an alternative centre for the children leading to its closure. While the children are at home, teaching is on-going in other schools. Even with the dispute in court, we seek an order that the children should be in school and resume learning. Their interest must be taken into consideration, Ms Ashioya argued. The PCEA, which has been summoned to court to shed light on the dispute, is accused of failing to register the institution as a public school, culminating into the withdrawal of teachers last year at the expiry of an interim order issued by a Nyeri court. The court was told that the church donated its land to the school and has been receiving fees from the pupils. Yesterday, the court ordered TSC to present its argument on Monday when the case will be heard.

Prepare Kenyans well for a possible run-o
t is almost certain now that unless there is a sudden and major shift in the remaining few days, we will not have a clear winner in the rst round of the presidential election. Opinion polls commissioned by the Nation Media Group conrm the trend seen from numerous separate polls in the past few weeks the gap closing between the top two candidates to a statistical dead heat. If these numbers hold, then Kenya is headed for the uncharted and unfamiliar territory of a run-o. Therefore, there is a need for all to be prepared for a second round of the presidential poll. As the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission carries out voter education on a changed environment of devolved government and a bicameral parliament, it must also pay special attention to the possibility of a run-o. At the very basic level, Kenyans must understand that they can vote for president, and that whoever gets the most votes need not necessarily be declared the winner. They must also understand the circumstances under which a second round can be called, and which candidates qualify for the run-o. They also need to learn that the candidate who emerges with the most votes in the rst poll is by no means assured of victory in the second. Voter education must also cover a lot of new areas such as where power resides between the rst and second round. It must be clear that there will be no vacuum, that the State remains intact and that there will still be no room for mischief. Meanwhile, as the campaigns become more frenetic, we would urge all presidential candidates to ensure that peace and calm prevail.
NIPPED IN THE BUD | Jaindi Kisero
Governors cannot hire

he agency mandated with managing the transition to devolved government has come out to clarify some misleading reports being peddled by those contesting for county seats. Specically, the Transition Authority has rejected advertisements by candidates seeking professionals to ll jobs at the county level. The reality is, governors will have no business employing people. On the contrary, it is the Public Service Commission and the county service commissions that will be responsible for recruitment and deployment of personnel. At any rate, recruitment will be based on the needs of the people and not the whims of individuals. In fact, the whole purpose of devolution is to disperse power, not just from national to regional governments, but also among institutions. No oce or institution should have monopoly over the management of public aairs. The Transition Authority convened a meeting last week to sensitise candidates for county governments about their roles, but the message seems to have escaped. County governments, just like the national government, will be managed through democratic processes, and candidates for those seats must be disabused of the notion that theirs are imperial oces.

Kimemias timely move will address procurement systems gone haywire O

n the matter of the tender for the multi-billion shilling police communications project, the Head of Public Service, Mr Francis Kimemia, has my full support. If you didnt know, Mr Kimemia has just written a letter directing Internal Security permanent secretary Mutea Iringo not to commit the government to this huge project until after the General Election. He has also ordered that the project be re-advertised competitively and processed in an ethical manner. Mr Kimemia should not just stop at cancelling the tender. He should also order an investigation into the circumstances that necessitated the cancellation. All institutions involved in procuring this controversial tender from the ministerial tender committee, the evaluation committees, even the public procurement appeals process, must be made to answer hard questions. The taxpayer wants to know how the cost of the project got to be inated from an estimated level of Sh7-Sh10 billion to a point where the government were it not for Kimemias intervention would have signed a contract with a Chinese vendor at a price of a whopping Sh18 billion. A thorough audit is in order because in directing the cancellation of the tender, the reasons Mr Kimemia has given in themselves point to a possibility of questionable dealings. Here is how the Head of Public Service defended the cancellation. First, that the evaluation process was highly inuenced by tenderers. Secondly, some ocials had been given kickbacks to inuence the preferred outcomes. Third, the cost of the project is highly exaggerated. And nally, the government cannot aord to commit money for this exaggerated project in view of other commitments occasioned by devolution, a rising wage bill, and the General Election. Who are the ocials who received kickbacks as asserted by Mr Kimemia in his letter? Who inuenced the procurement ocials? There are broad policy issues to be learnt from the saga. First, there is a very strong case for a thorough review of the legal framework governing public procurement in this country. As a regular observer of changes in public policy for many years, I have seen the public procurement regime evolve from the time when every major procurement was the monopoly of a Treasury committee what used to be known as the Central Tender Board. We created a directorate of public procurement, an oversight authority and an appeals system where anybody with a complaint can seek redress. Mr Kimemias cancellation of the multibillion shilling project begs several questions. Are the systems we have put in place working? Does the appeals board operate above board and is the oversight authority strong enough to insulate itself from inuences of politically-connected rentseekers? How long should individuals sit on the appeals board? Isnt there a case for making the tenures shorter to prevent stagnation of ideas and inuence of vested interest? There is this other route known as the supply branch process which permanent secretaries
A directorate of public procurement, an oversight authority and an appeals system were created to address complaints
prefer, especially when it comes to procuring common-user items. There is a case for reviewing it or getting rid of it altogether. I have heard permanent secretaries complain that the appeals merely serve to delay projects, and that the system has proved to be an impediment to the rolling out of public-private partnership projects. Do they have a genuine case? Whatever modications we come up with, the law must make it clear that the most important objective of public procurement systems is to promote competitive bidding. Quality of service is crucial. But at the end of the day, we must be able to compare prices. The biggest problem with the police communications project is that we ended up negotiating with one player because the other was knocked out at the technical evaluation stage. With only one nancial bid, it was now possible to pad the price way beyond what had been projected. We should change the law to make it clear that where a procurement entity ends up with one vendor after technical evaluation, the procurement must be declared non-responsive. I congratulate Mr Kimemia for sticking his neck out for the taxpayer. jkisero@ke.nationmedia.com
Opinion 13 THE CUTTING EDGE

MAKE THEM STAND AGAIN. Make the presidential candidates stand again throughout the second debate, urges Barre Shetto, adding that the people calling for seats at the podium are mistaken. According to him, those clamouring for comfort should spare a thought for the millions of Kenyans who toil day and night to earn a living. They not only stand for hours at work, but also wait for matatus or buses to take them home. And remember, they will again stand for hours to vote, come rain or shine.

There was nothing wrong with the rendition of the National Anthem before the rst presidential debate, says Edward Njaibu, disagreeing with Allan Bukusi, who said he found it horric and that he would rather the police or army brass band had been invited to perform it. Edward says he enjoyed it so much that he almost found himself standing up in the pub where he watched the candidates debate. Maybe Bukusis problem is that he appreciates group rather than solo performances, says Edward. PAY THIS WIDOW. Where is justice? Asks Alex Munene on behalf of a widow, Benter Akinyi, who has for nearly 10 years tried to claim her husbands terminal benets from the Kenya Farmers Association. According to Alex, it is now over eight years since Julius Osina Yongo (personal le No 6867) died, having worked for the KFA for years. He was entitled to some benets that should by now have been paid to his dependants. Benter badly needs the money to pay school fees for her children and meet their other needs. Her contact is Tel 0727458711. INNOCENTS TEARGASSED. Shouldnt Nema be concerned about the nuisance of the teargas City Council askaris have been using to remove hawkers from the Khoja Mosque area almost daily? asks John Mutongah. It is a source of discomfort to passersby and to those doing businesses in the area. Travellers are often caught up as they alight from matatus and instantly nd themselves sneezing and rubbing their eyes. Can this inhuman act be stopped and other means used to drive hawkers out? he pleads.
ITS UP TO KENYANS | Geert A. Andersen
Kenyas partners working to support polls that are free, fair and peaceful
S
ince the violence of 2007/2008, the Kenyan people have made great progress. They have passed a new Constitution and are bringing to life its promise. Kenyans have rebuilt shattered lives, restored torn communities and reformed broken institutions. Now, with the election in March, Kenyans can take the next step. A successful election will lead to a stronger Kenya; a Kenya with a booming economy, greater trade and investment and more jobs for its citizens. Kenyas progress in the last ve years is a testament to the hard work, dedication and resilience of its people. As international partners of Kenya, we are proud to support Kenyans as they work to realise their hopes for the future through the coming election. The choice of Kenyas leaders in the election is up to the Kenyan people alone. We do not endorse any candidate or party over another. What we do support is a free, fair, peaceful and credible election. To achieve this goal, we are providing technical assistance to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Through a special UNDP basket fund and our bilateral aid we have given Kenya violence and want peaceful elections. We echo their call for all those seeking political oce to pledge publicly their commitment to a peaceful election and transition, and to act wholly in accordance with the Code of Conduct set out in the 2011 Elections Act. Kenyas new Constitution embodies the promise of the rule of law and an end to impunity, underpinned by rights and responsibilities. Candidates, whether standing for county assembly, womens representative, Member of Parliament, Governor, Senator, or President, all have a responsibility to accept the results of the election, or resolve disputes using the legal mechanisms set out in the Constitution. If there are disagreements, they must be resolved in the courtroom, not the street. In Kenya as elsewhere, justice is critical for a strong democracy, a growing economy and lasting peace. Kenya cannot forget the victims of the 2007/2008 violence. They have a right to justice. Kenya is a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and we believe the court can serve as an impartial and independent arbiter. It can provide justice for the victims of violence and their families, while protecting the rights of the accused and oering them a fair hearing. We support Kenya continuing to full its international obligations. Kenya is a leader in Africa and beyond. The upcoming election is a chance for Kenyans to demonstrate that leadership once again and to build on the new Constitution. It is a chance to move beyond the nightmare of 2007/2008 and to take the next step towards a more secure, stable and prosperous future. Doing so will oer hope not just to all Kenyans, but to the entire region. We are Kenyas committed partners and friends at this important time. If Kenya holds a successful election, rejects violence and division, and embraces democracy and accountability, then it will unleash the extraordinary talents and potential of its people. The international community continues to support you, the Kenyan people. Signed by Ambassadors, High Commissioners and Charg daaires from: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, EU, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United KIngdom and the United States of America.

more than Sh8.5 billion ($100 million) for the election. These funds have supported civic and voter education, domestic and international election observers, training of judges, police reforms, monitoring of hate speech, and early warning and response mechanisms. These contributions were guided by what Kenyans themselves said was needed. We join hands with the IEBC, civil society and the many Kenyans across this country working for a successful, credible election. Violence threatens the lives of people. It destroys livelihoods and threatens security and prosperity in Kenya and East Africa. It rips communities apart. We support Kenyans who reject
THE WEST HAS SPOKEN | Joseph Magutt
Where is Chinas voice in this election? E

mperor Napoleon Bonaparte once remarked that China was a dormant giant and that when it awakes, the whole world will tremble. Well it turns out that those words were prophetic. China has awoken and the eect reverberates across the world. As Kenya sets forth for a historic election, some countries have expressed goodwill while others have threatened unspecied consequences in the event the results do not please them. Often referred to as a reluctant leader, China has been guarded and studiously quiet, letting the usual suspects the UK and US do what they are best known for harangue, tyrannise and dictate to Kenyans who not to vote for. Under Kibakis administration, the Sino-Kenya relations and trade have been robust, steadily eclipsing the so-called traditional partners in the West. Which raises the question: as a global power what is Chinas position on Kenyas election? There is a reason why the position taken by the UK and the US on the possible election of Mr Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr William Ruto is premature. First, the Electoral and Boundaries Commission, the authority that is constitutionally mandated to conduct the elections, has in no uncertain terms stated that the two are legally and
A nation built on humility, hard work, and respect for others must have a foreign policy that fosters respect and healthy relations with other States
constitutionally free to seek election. Two, the eligibility of the two has been armed by a court of law. And so I ask, arent the UK and US undermining local institutions? Three, the ICC has formally stated that the two are free to pursue their political dreams. Then how do the UK and US understand the doctrine of the due process of law? Are they condemning the two before they are properly heard and hence subjecting them to diplomatic lynching? Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto, have often stated they will cooperate unconditionally with the ICC. Also, the clarion call of the two has consistently been peace and national cohesion. How do the two countries understand democracy? The Constitution stipulates that to qualify for presidency, a candidate must achieve 50 per cent plus one threshold.
There are 14.3 million registered voters and hence to meet the threshold, a candidate would have to garner over seven million votes. Were Uhuru to corral this number of votes and make the presidency, wouldnt the West be insulting the intelligence of these voters? Isnt this an attempt to violate their fundamental rights? I revisit my earlier question: will China give a formal statement with regard to Kenyas election? Will it meddle? I believe it will respect the collective will of Kenyans. A nation whose civilisation was built on humility, hard work and respect for others must have a foreign policy that fosters respect and healthy relations with other states. While other countries are stuck in paternalistic foreign policies, China oers a clean slate for diplo-tracking with emerging nations. That is why it is increasingly occupying a special place in African countries. As Napoleon predicted 200 years ago, China is no longer dormant but an indispensable global player. The UK and US seem to have taken a common stand on this election. So where is the voice of China, or indeed, the BRICS bloc?

Teachers protest in the streets during the last strike

TEACHERS A NUISANCE. With their frequent strikes and threats, teachers are increasingly becoming a big bother to the rest of society, moans Christopher Kibiwott. He adds: The mess they put parents and pupils in last year, just before the national examinations is still being felt today, and last weekend, they had called yet another strike. I think their union has grown horns to the extent that its no longer bothered about the suering of parents and children. How can such a union be stopped? RECKLESS MOURNERS. Some of the most atrociously reckless driving he has ever witnessed, Joseph Macharia says, has been in funeral convoys, despite this being such a somber moment that calls for decorum and great respect for the dead person.

Name and shame those scheming to rig polls
I wish to express my reservations regarding yesterdays article by columnist Macharia Gaitho, who criticised Prime Minister Raila Odinga for declaring in a public rally that there were powerful individuals in the military and NSIS planning to rig the coming polls. I believe strongly that should any of the two leading coalitions suspect there are plans to rig the coming polls, then the best way to address it is by exposing those behind the plans so that the public can be aware of the scheme. It is also a way of letting the schemers know that you are alert and cautious, and that the schemes are in the public domain. LEVY TOLBERT, Nairobi

TALKING POINT
Kenya stands to lose big time without the West despite claims to the contrary
he chorus last week by Western nations led principally by the US and the UK was that they will nd it dicult dealing with ICC indictees should they win next months presidential poll. This has elicited mixed reactions. While one side has taken on the West for perceived interference in the internal affairs of Kenya and moved to arm the countrys sovereignty, the other side has been quick to counsel that Kenyas economy has many linkages with the West and that it can barely survive without support and goodwill from Western capitals. Typically, the ensuing debate has raised more heat than light, as opinions inevitably mirror political party colours and preferences. So what would be the likely consequences should Kenyans elect the ICC accused Uhuru Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto come March 4? Perhaps the influence of the West in our economy is eloquently illustrated by the fact that we are already saddled with a Sh1.4 trillion debt, owed to these countries. Much has been made of the fact that Kenyas Sh1 trillion-budget is today almost 95 per cent nanced through locally-sourced funds, mostly from the KRA. True, the inuence, especially of Bretton Woods institutions whose ocials in Nairobi incessantly used to lecture us on governance in the 1980s and 1990s during the Nyayo era as a pre-condition for assistance has waned in the last 10 years.

MISSING KAMENCU: I was disappointed with Kingwa Kamencu, she of the underwear-free movement fame for disappearing when I needed her the most. Why did the only young female presidential aspirant give up when the game was just warming up? At least she should have got the IEBC certicate. Possibly she could have been the game-changer in the debate and therefore made a name for herself like once little known Dida. Now that she is nowhere to be seen or even heard she should be telling us whats next for her. JAMES WAKIBIA, Nakuru
Migunas poisoning claims simply hilarious

Claims by Miguna Miguna that his life is in danger and that he should be accorded 24-hour police security left me in stitches. I think he should go tell this to the birds. It is laughable for an individual who stays in relative comfort in the developed world, to acquire the habit of crying wolf and demanding police protection at the expense of the notso-comfortable taxpayers every time he tours his native country. With the marauding ethnic militias in Baragoi, grenade wielding Al-Shabaab, biting ination and the stubborn nurses strike, we can, without any fear of contradiction, state that every Kenyans life is in danger every passing minute. This brings me to the question that probably lingers on many Kenyans lips, just like mine: Who does Miguna think he is? Miguna jets into the country and the next thing he wants is to capture the attention of the whole country even before he asks to be told what has been happening in his absence. He utters incomprehensible statements about the ICC, launches a book, engages his domestic maids in drama then starts the my-life-is-in-danger hymn. This drama has become so predictable of Miguna, after which, in the coming days, you will see him at the airport, his family in tow o for the much-needed holiday . Being the man of means that Miguna is, he surely can aord to pay for his security. All Kenyans are paying dearly for this, fortifying houses with steel doors. MALIK SUMBA, Mumias

heel lies in project aid on which we are still largely dependent on the West through their agencies programmes like the Free Primary Education and health, including malaria and HIV assistance.

expansive support systems these rms have created over time, is too grim to contemplate. It is also instructive that the biggest tourism source markets are not to be found in the East or even China, which is always hoisted as a possible substitute trading partner. Away from economic matters, if Kenya were to be declared a pariah in the community of nations, its status as a force for moral leadership in the Horn of Africa would be dealt a fatal blow, and with no UN to help ght the Al-Shabaab.

VOTE WISELY: Choose wisely on the next president , sounds hollow coming from Musalia Mudavadi. I wonder whether the meaning of the word wise changed, because when he talks of voters voting wisely, then he should bear in mind that wise voters will vote for wise candidates. However, when I remember how he was recently lured by his competitor Uhuru Kenyatta at the last minute into a sweet deal that never was, my wise-o meter fails to track him. If anything, I have to be unwise in order to vote him in. MUTSOLI FAITH, Kakamega CRAZY COUNTRY: I agree with Mr Brian Kilindis views in yesterdays Nation on the disgraceful acts along the Thika Superhighway. From the urinal wall at the Githurai roundabout to the shameless plastering of campaign posters all over the over passes, under-passes and guard rails. One wonders whether we as a country are ready for world-class infrastructure. People have settled and sleep in the tunnel under the Pangani over pass. This is a security risk. Then we walk across the narrow y-overs, mobile earphones stuck in our ears, putting our lives at risk as matatus zig zag all over. SAMMY NGANGA, Nairobi SORRY FOR STRIP, BUT...: I decry the lesson taught the provocatively donned woman in Kitengela who was subsequently stripped. That said, Ive hitherto never understood what a woman gains, unless shes on duty, by exposing her body, and what shed lose if she didnt. Men reason, but are naturally visual. The more the esh a woman shows, the more it aects or oends men and the more the respect she loses. If it attracts men, the attraction is pure sex instinct. If you dont intend to suer the risk dont tantalise men. KIARIE PETER, Laikipia
Higher exam fees amid pledges of free education and lap tops
As presidential candidates traverse the country with lofty promises ranging from the seemingly too ambitious free laptops to all Standard One pupils to the impractical free universal education right from kindergarten to university the national examiner is reading from an entirely dierent script. Through a terse circular to headteachers, Knec, whose reputation has been tainted over the years thanks to rampant exam leakages, has increased registration fee for this years Form Four candidates, citing rising cost of exam materials and personnel. Candidates will foot Sh500 more per practical subject, Sh200 per module subject such as computer. The aviation class will cough up Sh2,500 for procuring logistics , while Sh2,200 will be the basic exam fees, then Sh400 charged per subject. Another Sh500 will be basic exam registration for private candidates or repeaters. These gures could seem paltry, but poverty remains high in rural areas. Many young Kenyans will be discouraged from taking practical and project module subjects. Those blazing the campaign trail, promising us paradise in matters education are in government. The Education minister is a key gure in the Cord alliance that sells the free kindergarten-to-university idea. And the Jubilee coalition ag bearer is pledging free solar laptops. None is telling Knec to stop charging more. ANTONEY LUVINZU, Kakamega

Comment on Knuts decision to suspend teachers strike

SHABIRA JAFRED: Teachers demands were genuine but the timing was wrong given that the country is in an election mood. Knuts decision to call the strike o is welcome, but the government should meet teachers demands. LEWIS MUGAMBI: I propose that Knut ocials be arrested and charged with causing tension. Parents and children were tormented by their strike notice. Suspending their strike smells of sideshow and smacks of thoughtlessness on their part. LEAH MAKENA: Thank God that the six-hour meeting on Sunday bore fruits. We are now assured that admission of Form One students and elections will take place successfully. KIPLAGAT MICHAEL: The strike was going to be a waste of time. LINCOLN KINYUA: At least they have saved their energy. BURUGU ISAYA: It was a good decision. I dont think their grievances would have received the necessary attention since Parliament was dissolved a month ago.

Somalis in diaspora seek support for country

BY NATION REPORTER
Somalis in the diaspora have called for more support to the country for it to fully recover from two decades of of war. In a statement released from Toronto, Canada, the Somalis led by former Cabinet minister Ahmed Awad Ashareh, also called on their countrys leaders to respect the federal constitution. We urge the Somali leadership and people to be united to salvage the war-torn country and create an atmosphere that will completely end lawlessness, Mr Ashareh said. He said peace and stability were crucial for Somalia and the regions development. The group discussed the situation in Somalia, the countrys economy and lifting of the arms embargo. They welcomed the US and Britains support for Somalia, their recognition of its sovereignty and membership of the UN and other organisations. The group said Somalias armed forces should be properly equipped and former militias disarmed. Mr Ashareh said recruitment of armed forces should be harmonised and former militias rehabilitated. The group said the laws on existence of states, regions and districts should be respected and urged leaders to avoid inammatory remarks reminiscent of 1991 when the country degenerated into turmoil.

CONCERN | Alarm raised over ivory trade
Poaching may fuel terrorism, warns Britain

UK calls for urgent action to end killing of wildlife and sale of their parts in Asia
BY LEONARD MUTINDA
lmutinda@ke.nationmedia.com he United Kingdom has raised the red ag that prots from illegal ivory trade may be soon be channelled to terrorism, unless urgent action is taken to stop the menace. The UK is now calling for concerted eorts to end poaching before it feeds global terror networks. Speaking yesterday in Nairobi at an event bringing together wildlife conservation organisations, UK Minister for Natural Resources Richard Benyon warned the international community against treating poaching in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa as an isolated case. He said there was need to act with urgency to ght the practice that is now ranked as the third largest criminal industry in the world. It has continued to escalate despite various preventive measures put in place by Kenyan and other regional governments. Late last month, a consignment of 600 pieces of ivory worth Sh100 million was impounded at the Mombasa Port headed for Indonesia.

British High Commissioner to Kenya Christian Turner said such large scale poaching of elephants threatens not only Africas beautiful wildlife, aecting tourism but also poses a growing threat to international security. If we are going to break this chain of crime, Kenya will need the support of the international and the business community, said Dr Turner. One of such ways the international community can help, the UK Minister said, is by cutting the illegal supply chain that goes all the way to the Far East where there is great demand for ivory and tusks.

GENERAL ELECTION | Uhurus ratings increase after live presidential debate
State House race headed for a run-o

Infotrak published a poll on January 11 indicating Raila would win the election outright in the rst round as he would garner 51 per cent of the vote; that was after the alliances were formed
BY JOHN NGIRACHU
jngirachu@ke.nationmedia.com pinion polls over the last six months have consistently showed that the presidential race in the rst round will be between Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his deputy Uhuru Kenyatta. Mr Kenyatta, the presidential candidate of the Jubilee coalition, has been the biggest gainer in the polls over the six-month period. Predictions of a run-o, which would happen if none of the candidates failed to get 50 per cent plus one of the votes cast, were made as early as last year, when Mr Odinga and Mr Kenyatta were backed by 44 per cent of respondents. In October 2012, a poll by Ipsos Synovate indicated if the top two and Mr Odinga faced o in a run-o, Mr Kenyatta would get 50 per cent of the vote against Mr Odingas 42 per cent. That poll was about run-off scenarios, and it said Mr Odinga would similarly lose if it was between him and Amani Coalition candidate Musalia Mudavadi by 47 against 44 per cent. Later the same month, The Economist , a widely respected international weekly, published a poll by American rm Gallup indicating that Mr Odinga was ahead of the pack with 29 per cent of support against Mr Kenyattas 15 per cent and William Rutos 12 per cent.

All this was before the formation of the coalitions. After they went into alliances, Infotrak published a poll on January 11 indicating that Mr Odinga would win the election outright in the rst round as he would garner 51 per cent of the vote. The Deputy Prime Minister and his Jubilee coalition were 12 percentage points behind, getting with 39 per cent of the votes. With 51 days to the election then, candidates were yet to launch their campaigns full scale and the pollsters indicated that the poll conducted between December 28 last year and January 2, did not capture the impact Mr Mudavadi joining the Amani Coalition. In polls after the presidential debate on February 11, Ispos Synovate reported that 40 per cent of those interviewed say they will vote for Mr Kenyatta if elections were held, Mr Odinga trailing him by seven percentage points. Mr Kenyatta gained most from the debate as his ratings increased from 37 to 40 per cent, while Mr Odinga was the biggest loser, going from 37 to 33 per cent. Researcher Tom Wolf, however, warned that the poll was scientic as they had interviewed only those who watched the debate.

Pistorius sobs in court as murder victim cremated
Slain girls family say they bear no grudge but want clarity as suspect denied bail
JOHANNESBURG
Tuesday outh African sporting hero Oscar Pistorius broke down in court today as he was accused of shooting his model girlfriend through a locked bathroom door in what prosecutors said was a premeditated Valentines Day murder. Pistorius said he red at the door of the bathroom where his lover was hiding as he was lled with horrible fear that someone has sneaked into his home through an open window. I fired shots at the door and shouted at the toilet, he said in a statement read out at a court hearing where he faces the charge of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. We were deeply in love and couldnt be more happy, he said in an adavit read out at a bail court hearing in Pretoria The double-amputee Olympian nickmamed Blade Runner revealed startlingly dierent accounts from the prosecution and defence about how his covergirl law graduate lover Reeva Steenkamp was killed. Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said Pistorius armed himself, put on his prostheses, walked seven metres and red four shots through a locked bathroom door at his luxury Pretoria home, hitting a terried Steenkamp three times and fatally wounding her. She could go nowhere, he said, adding that Pistorius had shot and killed an unarmed innocent woman. He said mS Steenkamp, 29, had arrived at Pistoriuss home on Wednesday evening with an overnight bag, seeking to counter claims that the athlete had mistaken her for an intruder. As the court hearing was under way in the South African capital, mS Steenkamp was being laid to rest at a private ceremony in Port Elizabeth. Pistorius, wearing a black suit, blue shirt and grey tie for his second court hearing since the February 14 shooting, broke down in sobs every time Steenkamps name was mentioned.

Protestant church burnt in Zanzibar

ZANZIBAR, Tuesday
A church under construction in the largely Muslim archipelago of Zanzibar was set ablaze early today, 48 hours after the murder of a Roman Catholic priest, but there were no casualties, police said. The evangelical church of Siloam was set on re by unknown men. There were no casualties and the re was extinguished, Mohamed Mhina, spokesman for the police on the semi-autonomous Tanzanian island chain said. Only part of the church, on the main island of Unguja, was burned, along with several dozen chairs. Attackers demolished the church last year, in what was variously described as a dispute over land ownership and a religiously motivated attack. It was in the process of being rebuilt. It was not clear whether Tuesdays attack was linked to land issues or whether it was the work of religious extremists. The police has undertaken to nd the perpetrators ... but for the moment no one has been arrested, the police said in a statement. Catholic priest Evarist Mushi was shot dead outside his church on Sunday, the second such attack on the Muslim-majority island in recent months. (AFP)

Magistrate Desmond Nair asked Pistorius to speak up and he repeated the phrase louder. Pistoriuss heavyweight legal team rejected claims that the killing was premeditated. We submit it is not even a murder. Theres no concession that it is murder, said lawyer Barry Roux. Mr Roux challenged the claim that Pistorius put on his prostheses before shooting and argued the runner believed the person in the bathroom to be an intruder. I will put before court case after case where husbands through accident shot wives... believing it was an intruder, said Mr Roux. Is that now preplanned murder?

The killing has put Pistoriuss career on hold, forcing him to cancel races in Australia, Brazil, Britain and the US between March and May. Pistorius, whose nickname was inspired by his custom-built carbon-bre running blades, had both legs amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old after being born without lower leg bones. In Port Elizabeth, Steenkamps cofn with white owers laid on top was carried into the chapel at the crematorium as mourners exchanged hugs.

Why did this happen? Why did he do this? June Steenkamp told the Times of South Africa. Family members said they bore the runner no grudge but wanted clarity about Steenkamps death. Here are the some of the key points in Pistorius adavit: I fail to understand how I could be charged with murder, let alone premeditated murder, as I had no intention to kill my girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. We were deeply in love and I could not be happier. I know she felt the same way. She had given me a present for Valentines Day but asked me only to open it the next day. He said he and Steenkamp had fallen asleep together on the evening of February 13. I am acutely aware of violent crime being committed by intruders entering homes with a view to commit crime, including violent crime. I have received death threats before. I have also been a victim of violence and of burglaries before. For that reason I kept my rearm, a 9 mm Parabellum, underneath my bed when I went to bed at night.

It was one of the decisions taken when the partys National Executive Committee (NEC) met in the Northwest Regions capital Bamenda. A biometric recompilation of Cameroons electoral register is expected to end at the close of this month after which senatorial, parliamentary and local council elections will be held. Parliamentary and local council elections had to take place together last year but were deferred in July of that year to this year because of the voters list recompilation.

Russia steps up Syria evacuation eorts as 23 killed in blast

MOSCOW, Tuesday
Russia today sent two planes to Syria to pick up Russians wanting to leave the conict-torn country as the navy despatched four warships to the Mediterranean reportedly for a possible larger evacuation. Meanwhile, more than four million people inside Syria are in desperate need of aid, up sharply from 2.5 million in September, the UNs humanitarian agency said Tuesday. We are watching a humanitarian tragedy unfold before our eyes, Valerie Amos, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Aairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, told reporters in Geneva. A graphic from her oce showed how the need for humanitarian aid had spiralled from March last year, when some one million people were listed, to 2.5 million in September and four million by January 2013. She described the situation in the war-torn country as devastating. Moscow, which unlike other world powers still keeps close ties with the regime of President Bashar al-Assad,

announced it would host Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem for talks on the crisis next week. Observers are watching for any hints of Russia planning a full-scale evacuation of its citizens, which would be seen as a tacit admission from Moscow that Assad is doomed in his ght against rebels. In another development, 10 children were among at least 23 people killed in an apparent surface-to-surface missile strike on the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, a monitoring group said
today. It is likely a surface-to-surface missile strike hit Jabal Badro on the edge of Aleppo late on Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Ten children aged under 16 years and three women were among the dead, and the toll is likely to rise as bodies are being rescued from under the rubble, the Britain-based Observatory said, adding that people were critically injured. There were no planes overhead when the missile hit. (AFP)
SECURITY | Death raises questions
Israel denies secretly jailing spy suspects

Parliament orders probe after Aussie immigrant found hanged in his cell
JERUSALEM, Tuesday

LOCKED UP
Number of minutes in intervals prison cell should be checked
n Israeli minister today insisted there were no more anonymous prisoners being held incognito after the exposure of a top-secret case involving an Australian immigrant who died behind bars. There are no more anonymous prisoners in Israel, said Yitzhak Aharonovitch, outgoing Internal Security Minister. There is adequate supervision (within the prison system) and the law is upheld, but there is also great concern for state security which must sometimes take covert actions to protect itself, he told public radio. Prisoner X, who was identied by Australian media as Mossad agent Ben Zygier, was found hanged in his isolation cell in Ayalon prison in Ramle near Tel Aviv in December 2010 a case which Israel went to extreme lengths to cover up. An inquest recently rendered a verdict of suicide, raising questions about how a prisoner in a cell which was monitored 24-hours a day could have taken his own life. Details from a preliminary inquiry by the Israel Prisons Service (IPS) which were published in Maariv on Tuesday found that Mr Zygier hanged himself with a sheet tied to the window bars in the bathroom of his cell. Zygier took the sheet that covered his mattress to the bathroom, supposedly to wash it, and then tied it to the window bars of the small bathroom, the paper said. An examination of the logbooks of Ayalon prisons control room showed that the guards only looked at footage from his cell every 20 to 25 minutes because he was not classed as a prisoner with sui-

cidal tendencies, Maariv said, quoting the IPS inquiry. Any suicide is unfortunate but if someone is determined to take his own life, there are chances he will ultimately succeed, said Aharonovitch, who is the minister responsible for prisons. He also conrmed that the post mortem which rendered a verdict of suicide could be released soon but did not say whether the report would be published in full or with parts redacted for security reasons. The parliamentary committee on foreign aairs and defence has announced it would open an intensive inquiry into all aspects of Mr Zygiers arrest and death. (AFP)

Toyota to stir market with new trucks and buses

Toyota Kenya has started the production of new trucks and buses, a move that is expected to spark competition in the local commercial segment of vehicles. The rm, which is largely known for its salon cars, will join the fray largely capitalised by General Motors (GMEA) to roll out the Hino line of commercial vehicles. We are coming into the market at the opportune moment; a lot of work has been done to prepare Kenya to be the country to watch in the near future. Hino wants to be part of that journey in trucks and buses segment especially to complement Toyotas leadership in the passenger car and pick-up segment, said Hinos managing director Kazuhiko Watanabe. Hino is a subsidiary of global automaker Toyota Motor Corporation, and Kenya will be the third market in Africa after Morocco and South Africa. GMEA currently commands the largest share in the commercial segment with its Isuzu trucks and buses. Last week, GMEA announced that it had done a complete overhaul of its Isuzu buses in tandem with changing consumer needs. Toyota will assemble the Hino trucks and buses at the Mombasas Association Vehicles Assemblers (AVA). The plant is targeting to produce an estimated 40 units per month with a projection of 1,200 units in sales annually by 2015. The 9.9 tonne Hino FC 500 Series, the rst in line of production, will be retailing at Sh4.9 million while its 51-seater bus will be sold at Sh5.9 million.

he race among electronic payment rms to tap the cash passing through small-scale retail stores is heating up with the entry of a second company in the eld. Barely a month after MasterCard inked a deal with Equity Bank to issue at least five million cards to Kenyans and point-of-sale (POS) devices to retailers, Visa has announced a similar strategy. The companies hope to retain the billions of shillings passing through small businesses in nancial institutions by use of plastic money. In a press brieng yesterday, Visa general director for subSaharan Africa Jabu Basopo said the company would now target small-scale retailers and schools with its card payment technology. We have seen growth in the number of cards but we need to expand the acceptance footprint. We are working on technology that will make it easier for small-scale merchants to accept cards, Mr Basopo said. Currently, there are six million Visa branded payment cards in Kenya, a 20 per cent increase from last year. Visa claims transaction volumes this month amounted to Sh522 billion ($6 billion). The use of cards to buy goods also increased by ve per cent to account for 15 per cent of total volumes while ATM withdrawals averaged 85 per cent of the total volumes.

Central Bank data shows that Kenyans spent Sh111.86 billion on shopping with payment cards last year. The total value of card transactions hit Sh1 trillion last year, a 73 per cent increase from the Sh578.1 billion reported in 2011.

versity Students Community Organisation (UNISCOO) before it spreads to other groups in partnership with the Youth Enterprise Fund. The population of 15 to 29-year-olds in Kenya stands at about 26 per cent of the population and this is a step towards extending financial inclusion to the youth who have previously been excluded from formal banking, Chase Bank as-
sistant general manager John Fernandes said. Due to stringent requirements imposed by banks in Kenya, credit and debit cards have historically been perceived as products meant for the elite. However, as emerging markets become more crucial to the bottom line, card companies are hoping to demystify this notion. Both Visa and MasterCard
will be leveraging heavily on mobile technology breakthroughs to reach out to the low-end market. Visa hopes to launch Mobile Point of Sale (MPos), devices which allow business-people to process card payments through their smartphones in Kenya later this year. According to Visa Kenya country manager Victor Ndlovu, the mobile point of sale (MPos) technology could be launched locally by April. MasterCard on its part is already distributing MPos technology in East Africa as part of its partnership with Equity Bank. Mr Ndlovu added that the technology was ideal for small companies because it has a price-point between Sh4,350 and Sh8,700 ($50$100) whereas acquiring a traditional POS system can go for as much as Sh52,200 ($600).

High milk prices set to continue as shortage bites

Kenya faces 30 per cent production decit which is likely to ease in April, says ministry
BY MWANIKI WAHOME
jwahome@ke.nationmedia.com ou will continue buying milk at the current high prices until the long rains start in April, the government has said. The country is facing a 30 per cent milk decit that has pushed up prices by almost the same margin in recent weeks, according to Livestock Development permanent secretary Jacob ole Miaron. In response, the ministry has appointed a taskforce to investigate why the output has been on the decline since last year. The team is expected to hand in its report in a months time. The current projections on the milk production versus demand situation in the country indicate there might be a decit of about 30 per cent between now and April this year when the long rains are expected. The milk processing plants are receiving less milk than the market requirements which has pushed up consumer prices by almost 30 per cent, Mr Miaron said yesterday. At the moment, a packet of 500ml is retailing at Sh45 on average and the prices have been rising in the last few weeks from a low of Sh32. The sector regulator, Kenya Dairy Board, said milk production had been declining since January last year and the taskforce would nd out the reasons and make recommendations. The month-on-month production has been lower than other years and we have started this year with even lower production, said the boards managing director, Mr Machira Gichohi. He said the production was partly aected by a dry spell last year but even after the rains, the production did not recover. The decline in production is more evident in Rift Valley where open pasture system is prevalent compared to Central Kenya where there is more of zero-grazing, he said. IMPROVING SUPPLY
Kenya ICT Board chief executive to leave in June

BY NATION REPORTER
The chief executive of the Kenya ICT Board, Mr Paul Kukubo, is set to leave on the expiry of his contract in June. Reports indicate that Mr Kukubo, who has headed the board for the last ve years might be heading to the East African Commodities Exchange to be established in Rwanda by mid this year. The boards deputy chief executive, Mr Victor Kyalo, is also leaving his post in June and is set to go back to teaching at the University of Nairobi. The ICT board was set up in 2007 to develop digital inclusion and promote investment in Kenyas ICT sector. During his tenure, Mr Kukubo has steered several projects culminating in the launch of Kenyas ICT MasterPlan earlier this month. The Tandaa grant, one of the projects introduced while he was at the helm of the board, was supposed to encourage the generation of local digital content by providing nancial support to innovators in the private and public sectors.

Costly smart devices and Internet keep users away

High cost of smart mobile devices and Internet remain the two greatest constraints keeping Kenyans from using the web, a new survey shows. The Julisha survey conducted by the International Data Corporation (IDC) to establish the role of ICT in enabling social and economic development, shows that although Kenyan ICT sector continues to improve, high cost of the Internet-enabled devices and expensive Internet rates remain an obstacle to majority of people. Overall, the Kenyan ICT market continues to thrive. From 2013 onwards, the most notable issues will include the new government structure as county governments wean themselves away from national government to become more autonomous, creating more investment opportunities, the study notes adding that the number of Internet users in the country has gone up 70.4 per cent to 17 million in 2011 from about 10 million in 2010. But doing business with government is yet to pick due to what IDC says are complicated and prolonged procurement procedures. The prolonged procurement cycles and cyclic spending with government is somewhat frustrating and these need to be addressed in order to deliver value on both the demand and supply sides, the study says. But speaking after its launch, Information and Communication permanent secretary Bitange Ndemo said the main areas of improvement would revolve around procurement.

Soap makers turn to additives to grow market share

BY NATION REPORTER
Soap makers in Kenya are battling it out for control of the market with increasing consumer choices and lowering of prices. A consumer behaviour shopping survey dubbed REJA has revealed that soap manufacturers are employing every strategy to win customers, with Unilever leading the pack with their Geisha brands which controls approximately 35 per cent of the market. Imperial Leather soap which the survey indicated is the most preferred soap by men and Dettol are neck and neck with each controlling 18 per cent of the market share. At the same time, two antiseptic soaps Dettol and Protex are also ghting to outdo each other but Dettols 18 per cent market share doubles that of Protex at nine per cent. The now crowded medicated soap market is using additives like herbal extracts, glycerin, and use of Vitamin E to grow their sales. Companies like Unilever, Reckitt Benckiser, and Procter & Gamble have recently revamped their product lines and employed marketing campaigns to expand their consumer base. The toilet soap segment has been growing steadily, fuelled by rising population, and is promising further growth with the expansion of the middle class. However, the medicated soap segment is facing a fresh onslaught from bar soaps, which account for 58 per cent of the washing detergents market.

Central Bank gives Rwandas lender licence to open representative branch in Nairobi

BY IMMACULATE KARAMBU
ank of Kigali has joined a growing list of foreign banks which are opening liaison oces in Nairobi to tap into trade opportunities in the region. Yesterday, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) granted Bank of Kigali Limited the authority to set up a representative oce in Kenya, a day after a similar approval was given to state-owned Central Bank of India. According to Samuel Gichohi, a senior research analyst at NIC Securities, foreign banks are also rushing to take advantage of cross border trade between Kenya and external markets by setting up local oces to reduce the turnaround period
for eecting business transactions. With increasing cross border trade, there is a need to reduce red tapes for investors and increase the rate at which business transactions are effected. Recent discoveries of mineral resources in the country are also bound to attract investments in infrastructure and other emerging sectors thus creating opportunities for banking institutions, said Mr Gichohi. Latest data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics indicates that India beat United Arab Emirates to become the leading source of imports to Kenya accounting for 13.3 per cent of the countrys total imports. With the approval, Bank of Kigali becomes the rst foreign bank from the East African Community to be granted authority to set up a liaison oce in Kenya. A total of seven foreign banks have so far been cleared by the CBK to operate representative oces in Kenya. According to CBK, such oces are limited to oering marketing and liaison services which include negotiating lending and trade finance deals but they are not allowed to collect deposits. The local oce will allow Bank of Kigali to evaluate the prospects for a long-term presence in Kenya as it will act as a marketing and liaison oce for its parent bank.

N. Korea claims foreign tourism is booming

SEOUL, Tuesday Foreign tourism is booming in North Korea, state media said today, a week after the country triggered global outrage by conducting its third nuclear test. The number of foreign visitors to the North has grown steadily since 2000 and witnessed a surge after 2009, especially in the number of European visitors, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said. The global popularity of tourism to (North Korea) is booming, the agency said, without providing any breakdown on the number of visitors. A range of shining, socialist accomplishments made under the leadership of the ruling Kim family have elevated North Koreas status and sparked interest in travelling to the country, KCNA said. (AFP)

Nestle pulls food out of stores over horsemeat scandal

Meals rm removes products from Italy, Spain supermarkets over contamination
PARIS, Tuesday wiss giant Nestle has become the latest food company hit by Europes horsemeat scandal, announcing it is removing two pasta meals from supermarket shelves in Italy and Spain due to contamination. The news came on Monday as German discount chain Lidl pulled ready-made meals from the shelves of its Finnish, Danish and Swedish stores as it also conrmed the presence of horsemeat. Meanwhile, the French rm that sparked the Europewide food alert, by allegedly passing off 750 tonnes of horsemeat as beef, was allowed to resume production of minced meat, sausages and ready-to-eat meals. But Spanghero, whose horsemeat found its way into 4.5 million beef products sold across Europe, will no BACKGROUND longer be allowed to stock frozen meat, Frances Agriculture minister Stephane Le Foll told AFP. Nestle, the worlds biggest food company, said in a statement that our tests have found traces of horse DNA in two products. The mislabelling of products means they fail to meet the very high standards consumers expect from us, it added. The company is therefore voluntarily removing two chilled pasta products, Buitoni Beef Ravioli and Beef Tortellini from sale in Italy and Spain immediately. A Nestle frozen meat product for catering businesses, produced in France, will also be withdrawn from sale. Nestle apologised to consumers while assuring that actions being taken to deal with this issue will result in higher standards and enhanced traceability. With Italy and Spain now also tainted by the horsemeat scandal it appears that most of the continent has been affected. (AFP)
Apology to consumers
How scandal started

Concerns about horsemeat rst emerged in mid-January when Irish authorities found traces of horse in beefburgers made by rms in Ireland and Britain and sold in supermarket chains including Tesco and Aldi.

smuthini@ke.nationmedia.com enya may lose the war against HIV/Aids because of relying on donors who may withdraw their support, the national Aids agency has warned. The National Aids Control Council (NACC) now wants stakeholders in the health sector to look for ways of generating funds to tackle the disease without relying on donors. NACC head of Technical Support Division Francis Ndungo said it was risky for the country to depend on Western countries as they could withdraw their support. He noted that even though HIV funds had doubled over the past 10 years, the money did not come from the government. Currently, 75 per cent of the HIV/Aids funding is by donors and this is not sustainable. Im worried about the future war on HIV pandemic in the country, said Dr Ndungo during an HIV/Aids funding forum at Sai Rock Hotel in Mombasa on Monday. He said the funds increased from Sh14.3 billion in 2001/2002 to Sh30 billion in 2009/2010. If you look at the health budget , it has stagnated
at six per cent yearly and this is not even close to the Abuja Declaration that governments spend 15 per cent of their revenue on health, Dr Ndungo said. Speaking at a similar forum at Greenhills Hotels in Nyeri yesterday, participants expressed concern over donor fatigue in funding Aids programmes. We are told that the disease has stabilised. Why should we give up the ght half-way? posed Kimathi University lecturer Lucy Kangara. Other participants felt donor fatigue resulted from misuse of funds by the organisations involved in HIV/Aids campaign. Mr Ismael Maina, who has HIV, called for proper utilisation of the funds to stop donors from withdrawing funding.

THE CAPITAL MARKETS AUTHORITY CONTINUES TO FUEL ECONOMIC GROWTH

The Board, Management and Staff of Capital Markets Authority congratulates the Ministry of Finance on the attainment of ISO 90012008 Quality Management System Certification, a major milestone in delivering world class services to the Kenyan people. The Authority appreciates the Ministrys facilitation and support in the execution and realization of its pivotal role in the achievement of Kenyas economic blueprints including the Vision 2030 through savings mobilization, infrastructure financing and financial access, as manifested in the following key reforms and milestones which have been achieved by the Authority: Through the Ministrys facilitation and assistance in creating an enabling policy and regulatory environment, the Authority has in the recent past been able to facilitate the development of several capital market products and services. Since 2000, the Capital Markets Authority has approved 16 public offers and 18 rights issues through which Ksh164 billion has been raised. Further, during this period, there have been six listings by introduction. Additionally, from 2000, there have been 27 corporate bond issues from 14 companies raising Ksh68 billion. More recently, the Authority facilitated the launch of the Growth and Enterprise Market Segment to cater for Small and Medium Enterprises; while plans to develop a Futures and Derivatives Exchange are underway. Further, the Authority is in the final leg of the launch of Real Estate Investment Trusts as well as a Hybrid Bond Market. The Authority also established the Capital Markets Fraud Investigation Unit (CMFIU) to enhance its investigative and enforcement capacity. The capital markets trading platform has also evolved over the period with the manual trading system being replaced with an Automated Trading System for both equities and bonds in 2006. The revolution was completed with facilitation of the launch of a broker-back office system and acquisition of a state of the art surveillance system to enhance market oversight by the Authority in 2012. On the legal and regulatory front the Authority is now a full signatory of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding on Enforcement Assistance and Cooperation in 2009, affirming that its laws on regulatory cooperation for cross border enforcement are in line with international standards. In addition the Capital Markets (Registered Venture Capital Companies) Regulations were gazetted in 2007 to support the deepening of the venture capital and private equity industry, while the Capital Markets Conduct of Business and Corporate Governance Regulations were gazetted in 2011 to address governance issues within market intermediaries. Other pieces of legislations that have been drafted include the Capital Markets Authority Bill and Securities and Investments Bill which are intended to bring the legal and regulatory framework into line with international best practice submitted to the Ministry of Finance in 2011; with the Real Estate Investment Trusts Regulations focusing on creating an avenue for real estate construction and income generating commercial real estate to address the housing shortfall highlighted under the Vision 2030. The Authority has also actively engaged with our East African regulatory counterparts to progress cross border capital markets activities such as cross-listings and regional bond issuances, resulting in seven Kenyan companies currently cross-listed in the EAC region. The Authority became ISO Certified in 2009 and has over the years worked dedicatedly to continuously improve its service delivery.

Lobbies demand protection for women candidates

Nairobi Civil society groups have raised the alarm over the lack of security for women candidates during election campaigns. The rights groups say the government has policies that should protect and educate the Kenyan woman on safety during the elections. Mr Cyprian Nyamwamu, of The National Convention Executive Council argued that many women are unaware it was the responsibility of the government to protect them, leading to fear and intimidation. The government should come up with pamphlets and booklets that should educate women how they can eectively protect themselves in case of violence. They should also be taught how to prevent themselves from sexual assault and escape attacks. The government is yet to do that, said Mr Nyamwamu. He was addressing a one-day workshop of Gender and Media at Silver Springs Hotel in Nairobi where he called for the education and support of women especially in Northern Kenya and other war torn areas. Many women in such areas did not register as voters because they are planning to ee instead of voting. Some of them have also shunned the elections, saying they fear being identied with particular people. This indicates that their security is not well take care of, he added The Executive Director of African Woman and Child Feature Service Arthur Okwemba agreed, saying it is women who suered most during post-election violence.

Kisumu A media watchdog has put on notice vernacular FM stations breaching ethical code of conduct in the run up to next months polls.

amilies displaced by ethnic clashes in Migori County have ed to Tanzania. They left Kuria East District and headed to Tarime District in the neighbouring country to stay with friends and relatives. The victims, whose houses were burnt last weekend, said they could not continue sleeping in the cold on empty stomachs, together with their young children. We cannot continue to suffer here, with the government appearing to be unperturbed by our plight, said Mrs Mary Bhoke, 60, a mother of ve who has a relative in Tarime. Members of the Kuria community live along the border of the two East African countries, with most members occupying Tanzanias Mara Province. Rieko Kenya, a non-governmental organisation, said the ethnic clashes could jeopardise the forthcoming elections
in the region, and asked the State to intervene. It is embarrassing to see clans ghting and killing each other over cattle theft in this day and age, said Mr Edward Kabaka, the NGOs executive director. He said those who had ed their homes might not return in good time to cast their votes. At least 600 people have been displaced by the violence. Their houses, in Kuria East, were burnt during the violence. Two people were killed and more than 70 houses torched in fresh clashes at the weekend. The victims were part of the gang burning houses during a fight between the Nyabasi and Bwirege clans at the weekend. THE NUMBERS

The constitution of Kenya 2010 places the provision of safe water in adequate quantities as a basic right for all Kenyans. In addition, the right to adequate sanitation for all households has been enshrined as a right to be enjoyed by all. The human right to water therefore, entitles everyone to sufcient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic use. The theme for this years conference is Towards Up-scaling the Gains of the Water Sector Reforms in the New Dispensation We are therefore expected over the two days to deliberate on this topic which is very critical at this point, in our history as a sector and as a county celebrating year of jubilee. At the end of the conference, it is expected that the stakeholders will collectively identify priority areas to drive the sector forward.
national government policies on water conservation and provision of water and sanitation services. Towards this end, my ministry focuses on policy development sector co-ordination and supervision to ensure equitable and effective water services, sanitation, water resources and irrigation, drainage and land reclamation services in the country. We have also developed a National Irrigation Policy 2012 and the national land reclamation policy 2012. The policies have been prepared in order to accelerate development and performance improvement of irrigation and create an enabling environment for reclamation, sustained and productive use of degraded and fragile lands in contributing to the achievements of national development goals. Since the reforms in the water sector began a decade ago, my ministry has so far made a lot of progress towards improving water resources management and water services delivery. In the last ve years, investments in the sector have grown to over Ksh 60 billion. In the water sector reforms, we have special attention for the poor. This is because nearly half of Kenyans population lives below the poverty line. Specic focus on the poor is imperative in order to increase water and basic
sanitation coverage in meeting the millennium development goals. By 2015, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation aim at ensuring that 8 milion more people in urban areas and 8 milion more in rural areas have access to water. In irrigation sub sector, we have intensied efforts to fully develop the countys irrigation potential to reduce dependence on rain fed agriculture. We have prioritized the development of large scale water storage infrastructures to mitigate water scarcity and control foods. The implementation of water storage plan is in progress with the construction of ve large dams already underway. In addition, 900 small dams and water pans have been constructed countrywide, giving a total water storage of 17milion cubic metres. Let me talk about the gains in the water sector without taking into account the challenges we are faced with. The transfer of roles and responsibilities from the central government to the county government poses a challenge to the sector as this will require adequate capacity building of staff for high quality standards of services. I wish to assure our development collaborators that my ministry is committed to ensuring that all donor funds is put into good use.
Hon: Charity Kaluki Ngilu, EGH,MP Minister for Water and irrigation The constitution of Kenya 2010 provides for a devolved government with counties designed to undertake provision of services. Schedule 4 of the constitution gives the national government the responsibility to undertake the following activities; the use of international waters and water resources, development of pipelines, water production, securing sufcient residue water, disaster management national public works, public investment and capacity building and giving technical assistance to the counties, On the other hand, the county government will undertake the implementation of
Message from the Permanent Secretary

The water sector reforms are enclosed in the enactment of the water act 2002, and establishment of autonomous institutions to oversee, manage and service the sector. The sector reform process claries the roles of key sector players, contributing to efciency and effectiveness in service delivery. The reforms lay emphasis on water and sanitation as a basic human right, as entrenched in chapter 4 Article 43(d) of the Kenyan constitution. The importance of water in economic and social development of the county is acknowledged in the constitution of Kenya 2010, vision 2030 and 1st medium term plan. Availability of water and reliability of required water resources are key to performance of key sectors in the economy especially agriculture, livestock, manufacturing and tourism. Therefore, access to adequate and reliable supply of water is not only a key to social stability input to poverty reduction, but also an important element for social stability, economic growth and meeting the targets of vision 2030 and millennium development goals. The Ministry of Water and Irrigations goal is to contribute to the realization of the overall national development goals of poverty Irrigation Policy 2012 and the National Land Reclamation Policy 2013 which aimed at strengthening governance in public service delivery, improving the reliability of the states water supplies and tightening water rights, accounting and enforcement. The policies aims at modernization the water governance structure in realizing the goals under the vision 2030 in delivering the new constitutions demand. The constitution of Kenya, in its bill of rights provides for the fulllment of the human right criteria by including the right to reasonable standards of sanitation, clean and safe water, the right to food and a clean environment among the fundamental rights to individual. The challenge to our ministry therefore is to respect, protect and fulll this right. In working towards achieving equitable water services provision for all, the water sector services sub-sector was able to reach additional people of about 4.2 million both in urban and rural areas with water and sanitation services. On irrigation sub-sector, we expanded the irrigation program, and projected to increase the area under irrigation by 450 hectares. Progress has also been made to improve the water storage capacity of the country. The construction of our multipurpose dams including Kiserian in Kajiado, Umaa dam in Kitui, Chemususus dam in Koibatek and Badasa in Marsabit is on-going. On land reclamation, we managed to construct a total of 2,490 water conservation and water harvesting structures, which added up to 5,000 hectors. of land reclaimed. This has resulted to an improved food production, water storage and led to reduced environmental degradation among other benets. Following positive outcome of the water sector reforms, the sector continues to attract funding from both the government and development partners for water and sanitation infrastructure development not only for major cities and towns, but also the rural areas. We thank our development partners for their continued support towards ensuring that Kenyans get access to portable reliable, affordable and sustainable water sewerage services.
Dr. David Stower, CBS,OGW Permanent Secretary alleviation, food security, economic growth and sustainable development. In achieving this goal, we need to create a governance model which recognizes equitable allocation of water in urban and rural areas in high quality by 2030. The constitution of Kenya 2010 acknowledges that change was long overdue in many sectors and the society generally. The ministry has redeveloped a national policy 2012 and at the same time developed a National

THE 7TH ANNUAL WATER SECTOR CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION

VENUE: SAFARI PARK HOTEL DATE: 20TH-21ST FEBRUARY 2013
The human rights to water and sanitation

The right to water is dened in the general comment No. 15 of the international covenant on economic, social and cultural rights and includes the right to sanitation as has now been entrenched in the constitution, bill of rights, chapter 4 Article 43(d).
he human right to water entitles everyone to sufcient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic use. On sanitation, the right is to a reasonable standard of sanitation. The human right to water is therefore necessary for enjoying of other human rights including the right to life and human dignity, the right to health, right to development and the right to clean environment. The constitution of Kenya 2010, in its bill of rights, further provides for the fulllment of the human right criteria by including the right to reasonable standards of sanitation, clean and safe water in adequate quantities among the fundamental rights to individual. The challenge to the government therefore is to respect, protect and fulll this right. The ministry of water and irrigation takes the responsibility of up scaling measures to ensure the full realization of the right to safe water as entrenched in the bill of rights in the new constitution. It ensures continued implementation of the right to water, sustainability of the water resources and hence protection of water resources and water ecosystem. In the rural setting, a successful implementation of the right to water depends on local initiatives and community participation in the construction and management of infrastructure, which needs to be fostered. Consequently, the bill of rights with the human right to water and sanitation can only be achieved with a strong poverty orientation. The management of water resources has been achieved through enforcing regulations by the Water Resource Management Authority (WRMA). In achieving the right to water, Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) has developed guidelines on among other areas, tariffs and water quality.

However, the right to water does not mean that water is a free good. It is the responsibility of Wananchi as consumers to use responsibly and sustainably and to pay for the services rendered. Paying for the services is actually for the progressive realization of the rights to water Water services sub sector This sub sector performs the function of creating an enabling environment for enhanced water services. Water services sub sector has also established a new legal and institutional framework. There is now a decentralized function to semi autonomous institutions. Its key role is to improve water services in both urban and rural areas in the country. These include, the National Water Services Strategy (NWSS) and Water Sector Sanitation Concept (WSSC). In this case the goal of the National Water Services Strategy is to reach at least 50% of the underserved urban population with safe and affordable water by 2015 and thereafter move to access to all by 2030.
Water is life and your right but conserve it

The tariff approval process ensures that the cost of water and sanitation remain affordable to the poor. Water Action Groups (WAGs) have as well been formed as an effort to strengthen the consumers voice and consumer participation in planning for water outlets (e.g water kiosks) in the underserved areas. The direction of the regulator (WASREB) is therefore to enable citizens access services that fulll the human right criteria to safe water and sanitation.

LAND ISSUES IN THE KENYA ELECTIONS 2013

Introduction: As Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) we have taken note and do appreciate that land issues have come into the fore of the current political campaigns in Kenya. This is because we acknowledge the fact that land is critical to the economic, social and cultural development of Kenya. It formed the central reason for the struggle for independence and still remains politically sensitive. Since the reintroduction of multiparty democracy in 1992 there has been land related violence. The 2007/2008 election brought about unprecedented violence partly attributed to the underlying land issues. This was the basis upon which land reforms became a critical component of Agenda 4 item of the National Accord. Premised on the foregoing, we the Non-State Actors in the land sector would wish to draw the attention of Kenyans to the following: The Origins of the Land Questions in Kenya The land question in Kenya has its origin around at least four thematic aspects: political, economic, social and legal. Within the political aspect two things standout: first, the design of centralized colonial political power with no participation of native Kenyans. This locked out indigenous Kenyans from decision making on resource allocation, key among them being land, and entrenched inequalities through mass displacement, discrimination and skewed allocation of land to favour a few elite. Secondly, the transfer of power from colonial authorities to the independence governments was not accompanied by fundamental restructuring of land governance thus exacerbating land problems. Within the economic aspect, the design of the countrys economy was predicated on a dominant settler economy and a subservient African economy. This design was supported by the grant of extensive property rights to the settlers for production based on land in the most productive areas. On the other hand, indigenous Kenyans only got occupation rights for subsistence production. This design perpetuated many disparities in land allocation and resource control leading to high levels of poverty, unemployment and food insecurity in the country. The legal system was formulated to support the duality in both the political and economic structures. The laws validated the operation of two land tenure systems, statutory and customary. The statutory tenure system served the settler economy while the customary tenure system served the indigenous or native Kenyans. This duality was given legal force and protection by the independence Constitution. Furthermore, since independence there has been development of numerous laws governing land that have followed the same design. This favoured a small political elite while supressing the majority of Kenyans. The legal system has therefore neglected the fourth aspect which is the social dimension of land rights. These rights require the maintenance of harmonious relationships at three levels: between different land owners; between land owners and non-owners; and between the state and land owners and non-owners. This in turn has further entrenched inequalities in land allocation, retained, maintained and generated historical land injustices, tenure insecurities and conflicts; and led to general disquiet over land governance and management. It is against this background that the Kenyan citizenry has continuously sought to have the land question comprehensively addressed. Milestones made towards addressing the land question in Kenya Following continuous efforts by the Kenyan citizenry to address the land governance challenges, the following milestones have been achieved: 1. Adoption of Sessional Paper No 3 of 2009 on National Land Policy 2. The Promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 with a distinct Chapter on Land and Environment 3. The Enactment of the following Land Laws: (i) The Land Act, 2012; (ii) The Land Registration Act, 2012; (iii) The National Land Commission Act, 2012; (iv) The Land and Environment Court Act, 2011 The above milestones form a good foundation and clear framework for addressing the land question. However, despite the progress made, there are several outstanding issues that should not escape the attention of the Kenyan citizenry. These issues are critical for comprehensive implementation and realization of land reforms necessary to tackle the land question. Some of these pending issues are; (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) (ix) Enactment of a law on agreements relating to concessions for the exploitation of natural resources, Enactment of a Community Land Law, Enactment of a law on Spatial Land Use Planning, Enactment of an Eviction and Resettlement Law, Enactment of a law on benefit sharing by Local Communities from investments in property, Formulation of a land use policy, Gazettement and operationalization of the National Land Commission, Appointment of the Chief Land Registrar by the Public Service Commission, Automation of the Land Information Management System.
It is imperative that the current land debate takes cognisance of these milestones, the pending issues and other attendant gaps relating to land reforms. Gaps in the current Political Land Debate It is worth appreciating developments in the political discourse that has seen the land agenda find its way into political party manifestos. However, the discourse is happening without largely taking into consideration the constitutional foundation and policy framework; thus falling short of objectivity and attaining the relevance of addressing the salient issues. The discussion fails to give a clear path of attaining the following: (i) Equitable access to land (ii) Security of land rights (iii) Sustainable and productive management of land resources (iv) Transparent and cost effective administration of land (v) Sound conservation and environmental protection (vi) Elimination of gender discrimination in law, customs and practices related to land and property in land. What the Focus on the Political Land Debate ought to be It would be beneficial if the current discourse on land by political parties and the public in general would be informed by the following critical issues. Full actualization of the pending constitutional and policy related issues raised above with respect to: Making the principle of equity a reality by addressing landlessness and skewed distribution of land and use of an effective taxation system to curb land speculation and as a mechanism of land redistribution, Securing of land rights especially for people living in informal land settlements, minority and the marginalized groups Protecting the local communities against displacements and exploitation by large scale land deals through domestic and foreign direct investments Sustainable use of Land Resources taking into consideration generational and intergenerational equity Providing adequate budgetary allocation for land management programmes and institutions at national and county levels ( specification of actual budget percentage in relation to the national budget) Formulation and implementation of the national and regional spatial and land use plans to guide optimal utilization of land resources Comprehensive automation of land information management system Land issues requiring special interventions such as historical injustices Elimination of corruption in land service delivery systems (registries, survey offices, adjudication and settlement, planning, infrastructure and utility agencies). Effective operationalization of the national land management institutions (National Land Commission, County Land Management Board, Community Land Boards) Conclusion We as the undersigned Non State Actors, while appreciating the current discourse on the land question as a fundamental election issue, strongly urge all Kenyans and the political class particularly, to engage in it within the parameters of objectivity, sobriety, non-incitement and reference to factual information while respecting the constitutional foundation and policy framework already in place. We and all Kenyan will hold our political leaders to account over these matters .

BY AYUMBA AYODI
sayodi@ke.nationmedia.com oca-Cola has unveiled a Sh4 million sponsorship for the national rugby teams and the Kenya Cup nal set for this Saturday. Self-made King of Genge , Paul Julius Nunda alias Jua Kali will spice up the eld action that will include the Kenya Cup, Eric Shirley Shield, Nationwide League and Chairmans Cup nals, all being held at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani. Nairobi Bottlers managing director, Patrick Pech, said Sh1.8 million will go towards the organisation of the Kenya Cup and preparations of the national 15s and Sevens teams. The remaining Sh2.2 million will be in terms of products such as Dasani water, among other beverages. The sponsorship cheque was presented to Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) treasurer, Gabriel Ouko, who was accompanied by national team captains, Andrew Amonde (Sevens) and Joel Nganga (15s), at the Intercontinental Hotel, Nairobi. Pech noted that their sponsorship stretches back to November last year and is bound for review when it ends in October this year. The sponsorship comes up at a critical time when Kenya is preparing for the Confederation of Africa Rugby (CAR) Cup Group 1A battle in July. Support in every way Its an important step for the team since they have to remain in the Group that will be used as a qualication for the 2015 Rugby World Cup next year, Pech said. We have no doubt that Kenya will recapture the title they lost last year to Zimbabwe, and we shall watch and support you in every way.

Injury forces Azarenka to pull out of Dubai

Top-seeded Victoria Azarenka suered a blow for the second successive year at the Dubai Open when she pulled with a heel injury, ensuring that Serena Williams will hold on to the world number one ranking this week. Azarenka, the only unbeaten leading player on the tour this year, beat Williams in three sets in the nal of the Qatar Open on Sunday, having played through part of that tournament with painkillers. Last year she also won the Qatar Open and similarly withdrew from the Dubai Open with a foot injury.

Ocial beverage We recognise that a rugby player requires about 12 to 15 servings of water in a match and this can be a heavy burden on the Union and teams, said Pech. The decision to sponsor the Union as its ocial beverage partner reinforces our commitment to the sport of rugby in Kenya.
Ouko said they were not taking the CocaCola gesture for granted and swore to ensure that the national 15s team prepares well for the CAR Cup, also known as Africa Cup. He also disclosed that they were on the verge of securing a title sponsor for the Kenya Cup, which has been without a facilitator for many years. It fails to make sense that we have secured sponsorship for most of our products but not Kenya Cup. However, that will end come next season since we are nalising details with a sponsor we shall disclose soon, said Ouko.

Kenyan pro golfers o to South Africa for Sunshine Tour

Mumias Sugar-sponsored Dismas Indiza who missed the cut by the narrow margin of one shot leaves tomorrow for Johannesburg South Africa. He will join Muthaigas Nelson Mudanyi who was due to leave last night, and South Africa-based Stefan Andersen who left soon after the nal round of the Barclays Kenya Open on Sunday. They will try and qualify for the 1.5m Euro inaugural Tswane Open, a European Tour event to be held at the Els Club in Copperleaf Tswane. The one round pre-qualifying round will be held on Tuesday at Irene Golf Club.

After the Tswane Open the next stop-over will be the Telkom PGA Championship at Country Club Johannesburg from March 14.

Andersen carded 73 in each round to miss the cut by two shots. Mudanyi, making debut in the Open as a pro, was further down on ve over par 147 despite starting with a level par 71.

Fergies new headache over Nanis form

Manchester Alex Ferguson admitted Nani could give him more selection headaches if he continues to put in displays of the kind that helped Manchester United to a 2-1 victory against Reading and a place in the FA Cup quarter-nals. The Portuguese winger came o the bench in the rst-half to replace the injured Phil Jones and scored after the break before setting up Javier Hernandez for Uniteds second that proved crucial as Jobi McAnu pulled one back for Reading. Nanis got great talent and I had a feeling he would win the game for us, said Ferguson. You could see he was right on form and he had two great strikes straight away and he was a threat to them the whole night. If he keeps that form up it makes my job even more dicult, added the United boss whose side face QPR in the Premier League on Saturday as they look to maintain their 12-point lead. In the FA Cup, United will face the winner of Chelsea and Middlesbrough but Ferguson is unperturbed by which side makes it through. We have a home tie and it cant get any better than that. You cant wish for anything more than that. No matter who we play, a home tie at Old Trafford means we have a great chance, Ferguson beamed. (AFP)
FA Cup quarter-nal draw: Oldham/ Everton v Wigan, Man City v Barnsley, Man United v Mbrough/Chelsea, Millwall v Blackburn. Ties to be played weekend of March 9 and 10.
he veracity of AC Milans resurgence in Italys Serie A is set to be put to the test when Barcelona visit the San Siro tonight for the rst leg of a last 16 tie in the Champions League. After their worst ever start to a league campaign, the Rossoneri have climbed to third place and within touch of securing one of the three Champions League places for next year. However, their survival in this years competition could depend on a strong showing in Milan ahead of a return to the formidable surroundings of the Nou Camp on March 12. Although billed, by Milan, as a match between the best of the world Milan are seven-time European champions while Barcelona, four-time winners, are widely considered the strongest team in the world the Spanish league leaders have the bragging rights. The last time the two sides met, in last seasons competition, Barcelona came away from the San Siro with a scoreless draw in the rst leg of the quarter-nal, before winning 3-1 at home to secure a semi-nal spot. Only four months earlier, Barcelona had emerged from Milan with a 3-2 win on their way to topping the group ahead of Milan, while in the 2006 semi-nals, the Catalans won 1-0 to secure their place in the nal. Since the recent acquisition of striker Mario Balotelli, AC Milan have continued to make up for their disastrous start to sit third in the league, 11 points behind leaders Juventus. But because he played in this seasons competition with Manchester City, Balotelli is Cup-tied for the remaining Champions League xtures. That paves the way for the likes of Bojan Krkic, formerly of Barcelona, to step up for a game that will have special emotional signicance as well as provide a crucial step in Milans roller-coaster season. Going through a positive patch It is a dierent game, a special game for me, but I dont want to think too much about what feelings I have inside; I just want to concentrate on the game and on the 90 minutes of football that awaits us, Bojan told acmilan.it. I have never played against Barcelona before and for that very reason, this is more than just a game for me but all I want to do is help the team. He added: We are going through a positive patch at the moment, we have to believe in ourselves. We have to try and work hard and go into the match knowing that we are playing in the knock-out stages of the Champions League, against Barcelona, in one of the biggest matches in the world. This isnt a three point match; this is a game over 180 minutes where goals are all-important. We have to score and also not concede. We have to remain focused for the entire 180 minutes. (AFP)

Big-spending Galatasaray out to down shaky Schalke

Istanbul Big-spending Galatasaray will be looking to carry their strong Champions League group stage form into tonights last 16, rst-leg tie when they host a Schalke 04 side low on condence. The Turkish side nished their Group H campaign with wins over Cluj, Manchester United and Braga before pulling o the biggest coup of Januarys transfer window by signing Dutch star Wesley Sneijder and Ivory Coast veteran, Didier Drogba. Having won last seasons Champions League title with Chelsea, Drogba came o the bench to score on his debut in Fridays 2-1 win at bottom side Akhisar Belediye to go seven points clear in the Turkish Super Lig Table. These investments will pay o, said Galatasaray president, Unal Aysal, who is eager to bring Champions League success to Istanbul. The revenue from the Champions League will cover the costs. Galatasaray have lost just once at the Ali Sami Yen Sports Complex Arena in the league this season, and Fatih Terims team are looking for four European wins in a row against Schalke.

MIGHTY KOGALOS LONG WAIT | Croatian tactician vows to end Kenyan giants 17 years of drought
For Gor, its the title or nothing

BY ISAAC SWILA
iswila@ke.nationmedia.com ts been 17 years since Gor Mahia last won the Premier League title. Thats a very long wait for one of the regions most prestigious clubs with a near religious following. The clubs loyal fans, the Green Army as they are popularly known, have witnessed season after season end in heartbreak as rivals lift trophies. Last season, KOgalo came close to reclaiming the title under coach Zdravsko Logarusic only for that dream to collapse on the last day when a battling Thika United held them to a nervy 1-1 draw in their home turf. The Green Army had turned up in their thousands as the game had, after all, already been played on paper; their duty was simply to lift the trophy. That was the belief, the perception, the feeling and the joyful mood that swept through the terraces as the diehard fans sang and danced when the referee blew the opening whistle. The season had been good to them, which was what the sunny afternoon seemed to conrm that day. Alas! It was not to be. The football gods had other ideas for, 90 minutes later, the joy of their hearts ceased, and their singing and dancing turned into lamenting. The normally vibrant City Stadium had, in a cruel twist of fate, in a matter of minutes, turned from a wedding to a funeral. When the referee blew the nal whistle, coach Logarusic lost his cool and threw away his board in a universal gesture of anger. The cue had been given. At the stands and on the pitch, tears owed freely, star players - led by Rama Salim and Dan Sserenkuma - were inconsolable. Even ocials ran out of handkerchiefs. It was a sea of tears. It was a sad end to a season that had promised so much with the arrival of their Croatian coach. They had come closer to winning the trophy that during 2010 run with Ulinzi Stars, when they were beaten to the title on the last day. They had just needed a

oayieko@ke.nationmedia.com When he came to Gor Mahia in January, very little was known about him, but Ugandan Israel Emuge may as well be coach Zdravko Logarusics trump card for the 2013 Tusker Kenyan Premier League season. Emuge, 28, showed what he is made of when he was voted the Most Valuable Player in the Kenya Power Charity Cup match against Mathare United three weeks ago at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani. As the new season beckons, Logarusic says his new man is the clubs best signing. His physique makes him stand out as one of the biggest players in the league. This Saturday, when Gor meet champions Tusker at the Nyayo National Stadium in the DSTV/Super Cup, the curtain raiser for the new season, Logarusic is expected to give the gigantic defender a starting role. Has physique and vision Emuge will denitely play. He is a defender I admire. He has the physique and the vision, said Logarusic in an interview yesterday ahead of the clash against the side that denied him the league title on the nal day of last season. I will also play (Mungai) Kiongera and at least one other new signing, he added. Logarusic says he is introducing the players slowly as they continue gelling with the rest of the squad. Last Saturday against Seychelles Anse Re-Union in the Caf Confederation Cup match at the Nyayo Stadium, he played an unchanged side, save for Kiongera as he maintains the new signings are yet to reach their peak. The entire team is not yet at its best, but the new signings will have to work harder. Slowly they are picking up, but they are not yet where I want them to be, he added. Best Ugandan export Gor signed Emuge from Ugandas Kiira Youth, Paul Kiongera (Kenya Commercial Bank), Innocent Mutiso (Mathare United), Zack Onyango (Coee Board-Uganda) and Natty Abbey (Muhoroni Youth). But it is Kiongera and Emuge who have so far impressed Logarusic. Emuge is not in the list of those playing in the continental assignments following late submission of his International Transfer Certicate. The player is happy with his move to the Kenyan Premier League. I look forward to a great contest. I am happy to be here playing for a massive club like Gor Mahia, he said. In Uganda, hes considered one of the best exports and has also played for Express Red Eagles and Kampala City Council.

simple win to seal it but it was not to be. At the end of the day, Tusker - second-placed going to the nal round of matches, thrashed Nairobi City Stars 3-0 at the Hope Centre in Kawangware to retain the trophy with 60 points, one more than KOgalo. But Logarusic and his players have put that disappointment behind them as they aim to not only make amends for the league loss but also sweep away the other two titles that are up for grabs: the KPL Top 8 and the FKF cup. Last year, we did not achieve what we wanted. We only won two trophies out of a possible three. We have to look at what went wrong and improve on it. As coach, I always seek to improve. I do not dwell on my success but my failures, says Logarusic. Logarusic adds that though he would be glad to win other titles, his number one priority is the league. Our main target this season is to win the league. We wouldnt mind the other trophies but the one title we must win is the league The former Ashanti Gold coach reckons that things are going according to script and though they began their continental championship on a low note, his key objective remains reaching the rst round. In competition you need luck. You could be good but without luck you may not achieve anything. The boys are not yet at their optimum level, but they will gather the momentum as the season matures. All said and done, KOgalo will have to contend with the sti competition from the other opponents even as they aim their artillery on landing an unprecedented 13th league crown. But for that dream to be realized, his boys will have to be at their best and the new signings must prove their callibre, and prove that they have what it takes to don the famous green jersey. The 51-year-old Croat has recruited big with former KCB attacker, Paul Mungai Kiongera, being his biggest signing.

Pamzo has his objectives all spelt out: Improve last years position and join the big boys club

Chemelil to play AFC at Kasarani
henever the name Sammy Pamzo Omollo is mentioned, what immediately springs to mind is his 2011 Kenyan Premier league (KPL) victory when he led Tusker FC to their ninth title. In that season, he fended o sti competition to dethrone Ulinzi Stars on the last day of action. Towering skipper, Joseph Shikokoti, in particular won it for the brewers with, virtually, the last kick of the ball when he headed neatly into Congo Uniteds net to guarantee a 1-0 victory. For his heroic conquest, Pamzo - a former Kenyan international and Tusker defender - reaped big, taking home twin medals after being voted the KPL coach of the year at the annual Football of the Year Awards (Foya) a fete he also attained at the Sports Personality of the Year awards (Soya). But 10 months down the line, he found himself in the ring line when the brewers executive felt that he had outlived his usefulness.
Took over Oserian Tusker were, at that point, struggling on the domestic front and had just been bundled out of the 2012 Cecafa club championship without winning or losing a single match. Omollo was thrown into the coaching fray but only for a week or so, before relegated side Oserian FC came calling. His arrival at the Naivasha based side, however, did little to help steer the ower men out of the turbulent seas of the league as they fell to the relegation axe. That was then. Fast forward to the present and Omollo is steadying yet another ship in the name of Sony Sugar. After taking over the reins from former coach, Zedekiah Zico Otieno, Pamzo says he is hoping that he can help guide the sugar millers to
the glory days of yore when they won their maiden league title in 2006. Omollo is under no delusions. He understands the enormity of the task at hand but is optimistic that the sugar millers can post a good performance in the 2013 season, which kicks of this Sunday. We want to improve our position last year. We have to aim at a top ve position and, with hard work, we know we will achieve it. Last season was not the best for the millers. Their aim of landing at top 8 position never came to fruition as they settled for a dismal position 11 with 38 points. However, Pamzo avers that going by the kind of players within his rank and le, he just needs to get the best out of them to fulll the dream. Most of my new signings are players who are known to me. They are not new and this means that I will be having continuity. The new players have gelled well with the older ones and I think there is a good understanding, which should work to our advantage. Among the new faces at Omollos squad are Isaac Otieno, David Makumbi and Charles Odete, all of whom he coached at Tusker and who, apparently, tagged along to Sony. The others are Ben Barasa (Oserian) Tony Sen-
tonga and Daniel Waiswa (Uganda), Michael Izungu (Sparki Youth), Aziz Okaka (Talent Academy), John Kio (Oserian), Joseck Gathongo (Muhoroni), Francis Ouma (Mathare United) and former Gor Mahia gloveman, Wyclie Kasaya. Ouma will be particularly relied upon on the upfront to score crucial goals to help in their campaign for glory this season. There are some setbacks though for Omollo, especially the injuries picked by Charles Odete, who twisted his ankle, and Ugandan, Daniel Waiswa, w h o picked a knock,
meaning they are all not likely to feature in the season kick-o. Odete will be sidelined for one month, which will see him miss the leagues two opening matches, while Waiswas knock will cause him to miss active training for two weeks. The injuries are minor setbacks and I hope to have them recovered soon, Pamzo said. The coach has picked, as his skipper, Sylvester Wanyama, in whom he says he has immense faith. Wanyama will be deputised by Joseph Omwiri and custodian, Kasaya, whom Gor released after failing to command regular starting position between the posts.

dkwalimwa@ke.nationmedia.com Chemelil Sugar have moved their home Premier League opening clash with AFC Leopards to the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, this Sunday. The club said yesterday their home ground is undergoing renovations and cannot hold the thousands of fans expected toturn up for the rst game of the season. Parts of our ground, including the perimeter wall, are currently undergoing renovations. When we last hosted Ingwe, we faced challenges containing the thousands of away fans especially when the proceedings were against what they expected, Chemelil chairman, Robert Nyakundi, told the Daily Nation. Last season, some top flight teams including Muhoroni Youth came under the spotlight after opting to stage their home matches against crowd pulling sides like Leopards and Gor Mahia to Nairobi. Low home support The move was perceived as a way in which the club administrators sacriced the low home support in favour of raking in millions of shillings from gate proceeds from the aware crowds in Nairobi. Nyakundi seemed to add credence to this perception when he said: We are in this business to make money. But we will be considerate to our home fans who have supported us all this while. All the matches save for AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia, will be staged at the Chemelil Sports Complex. AFC Leopards coach Tom Olaba (above) said his charges will be comfortable wherever the match is staged. I have prepared my boys well for this match and I believe we will be better o playing the match in Nairobi considering the fatigue caused by traveling to Chemelil by road. Anyhow, we are aware Chemelil is a stubborn opponent, remember they defeated as last year. First season in charge Chemelil coach, Mike Muiruri, is ready for his rst full season at the helm after replacing veteran Edward Manoah with ve matches to go last season. We had a good squad that caused problems to big teams last term but were let down by inconsistency. I am thankful to the management because we have beefed the squad ahead of the upcoming campaign and we will be looking forward to a much better all round performance revealed the tactician. Amongst the notable players acquired by the sugar belt side include John Onami from Sofapaka plus John Maiko and Edwin Maiko from relegated Oserian FC.

ormer ambassador Raychelle Awuor Omamo yesterday said she would not allow her faith to guide her in resolving constitutional inconsistencies if appointed Deputy Chief Justice. Ms Omamo told the Judicial Service Commission interviewing panel that although a person could not be separated from their faith, a time comes when the only question is to do things that satisfy the Bill of Rights. My key asset will be diversity since very few people understand how organisations are managed, the former ambassador to France said. Diversity at the Supreme Court will create the tension it needs to take the judges to an unknown so that they create new knowledge. The former Law Society of Kenya chairperson, was put to task over her stand on the controversial issues of abortion, capital punishment and same sex marriages. Ms Omamo got into trouble when she said she would advocate abolition of the death penalty as a Supreme Court judge. Attorney-General Githu Muigai said this would go against what Kenyans passed at the
referendum, and would by-pass other established jurisdictions that have refused to abolish it. Ms Omamo said her concern would be to favour constitutional clauses which give meaning to the right to life. On the issue of abortion, the former envoy said she would not be persuaded that Parliament will pass a blanket law to permit abortion but since the world is changing, one day MPs might come up with such law and it would be up to the court to reinforce it. In the event that there exists inconsistencies in the Constitution, she said that it was the duty of the Supreme Court to interpret the law pragmatically to satisfy the peoples expectations. The Supreme Court will need to be innovative and initiate public dialogue to resolve issues in a manner that promotes the rights of everyone, said Ms Omamo. She denied claims that she was not a true believer in the legal process, arguing that the reason she diversied her post graduate studies was to improve on her managerial and organisational skills. Asked about her view of the judicial radical surgery which sent home over 20 judges in 2003, Ms Omamo said the process was unfortunate and should not be allowed to happen again since the judges were humiliated without

being given a fair hearing. I dont think the process represented what the Judiciary stands for in terms of fairness since it was ill-timed and not well-managed. The current vetting process is better although it is still too early to critique it, said
Omamo. She said the Judiciary needed a certain limit of activism that gave judges room to develop their own jurisprudence. Another candidate for the DCJ post, Lady Justice Kalpana Rawal, on Monday evening told the panel she would apply conservative rules when faced with an abortion case. Judge Rawal said that despite the passing of the new Constitution, there had been many changes in the society such as womens rights which had to be considered as well. She said abortion had many other angles which would have to be looked at before it was considered to have been performed legally or not.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Muokas story is inspiring

Last weeks feature on the Muokas 65 years of marriage is inspiring. The Daily Nation should request to see the 45-page letter that Francis wrote to Grace and publish it (or rather serialise it). I believe it can make good reading. Wow! Thank you for this story. I will be using it in my marriage encounter classes.
Elf Okhwa Daudi Joecking
I am sure the copy is still somewhere. As for me, I could only manage to write three pages to my beloved. Poor me! But I still made it. These are the kind of people who should get the HOS commendation to recognise them as respected role models. These days there are enough excuses to be away from spouses, but this couple has a good lesson for us.
Wavidani
Inspiring. A 45-page love letter? What did he say? This man was in love and still is. You mean there are men like that in this world? Wow! And she is so humble. What a lesson!
Wanja Njuguna
Truly inspiring. I also wonder whether such humble and supportive women still exist in this modern world. If they do, then the number must be very low. Njuru Julius A 45-page letter and for others even writing an SMS is a problem. Guys, this is a worthy lesson here.

Im approaching the dreaded 40, so what?

y elder sister once took a telephone message for my father. It was those Precambrian days before the era of mobile phones when one had to run upstairs to answer the telephone. You had to do so because there was no caller ID, so if the phone stopped ringing before you got to it, you would have no idea who was trying to get in touch with you. Anyway, my sister, whose outlook on life back then was more of dont worry be happy , neither jotted down the details of the caller nor the message. His arrival from work in the evening triggered her memory and she breezily told him that there had been a call for him. Who was it? he enquired, retrieving the telephone directory to look up the caller and return the call. Some fossil whose message I forget, she answered nonchalantly, eyes xed on the TV. My parents laughed uproariously at the thought of their children thinking of them as so decrepit. As my age marches steadily towards when my life will begin at 40 I nd myself metamorphosing into my mother. I cannot explain the dierence between an iPad and a tablet (not that I care much). My memory is not as reliable as it once was and my mobile phone is forever beeping with reminders. I feel more than a tad irritated when I board a matatu and the upstart of a driver (earrings, corn rows, and all) suddenly turns on the latest music, full
Kudos to Felista, the writer, for this heart-warming and inspiring story. It is amazing, especially the 45-page letter. Can Grace sell a copy to the national archives for posterity and to teach us the dying art of having a happy and lasting marriage? In recent times, marriage has been taking a beating, which is sad because a stable family unit eventually leads to a stable country.

The first thing I do when I get home from work, besides greeting my children, is to ask them a whole host of what are to them, irritating questions.

elephant could remember a route to nd water in the sprawling wilderness. More recently, although I nd myself increasingly clicking my tongue at those whose youthful antics lead them from one misadventure to the next near-calamity, I usually do not hold it against them. My index nger has acquired the annoying habit of wagging itself when I am making a point, especially to a minor. I could not help feeling entertained recently when, after
saying hello to my childrens friends in our neighbourhood, one of them whispered Mama Khadija ni mkali! (Khadijas mother is very strict). The phrase, Do I make myself clear? which, in my youth, always followed a lengthy tongue-lashing from what I considered to be a too-strict mother, is becoming one of my maxims. Many are the times when I have felt a strong sense of dj vu while giving unsolicited advice to my brood. Getting older, to me, is a good thing. You become more practical-minded; having a bad hair day is not the cataclysmic thing it was when I was in my twenties. You become more responsible, concentrating on how best you can make yours and your childrens lives better. Your relationships become more meaningful. I nd myself increasingly uninterested in the soap operas that I was so addicted to a decade ago, preferring instead to curl up on the sofa with a good book. Todays fashions leave me nonplussed and my text messages contain few abbreviations. I expect my children to respect older people and behave with decorum towards their elders and age mates alike. Most of all, I enjoy the freedom that getting older brings as I am no longer skittish, as many females are, of revealing my true age 30 years and 102 months.

I loved the story and wished mine to be like that. My worry is that todays women do not need men; they do not want to get married. Those who are married do not want to have children and if they do, they want only one child. I have seen women in hotels, pubs, and restaurants taking refreshments alone or with their girlfriends. Really, is there hope that we can have a marriage like this couple?
Women are simple creatures. It is not rocket science to keep a woman this long. It is the small things that make them happy. Even Gods word says: Men love your wives as Christ loved the Church. And then wives are supposed to submit to their husbands. Please note: Wife submission comes after the man has loved her, not the other way round.
Wakoli
Seek ye rst the Kingdom of God, and all the goodies shall be added unto you. The couple believed in God and God united them in love, gave them wisdom and wealth travelling all over the world means they are wealthy. If you have a problem with your marriage, come to Jesus and all the goodies will be added unto you.

VEINS THAT ARE EARTHWORM OR SPIDER-LIKE ARE LIKELY TO BE VARICOSE VEINS
People who sit for long hours and who lead sedentary lifestyles are more likely to get varicose veins
Walk to avoid varicose veins

office clerks, receptionists, shopkeepers, and other people who do not walk a lot are most at risk of developing varicose veins, he says. What causes varicose veins? The legs, just like any other part of the body, get uninterrupted pure blood supply through the arteries. The pure blood supply oxygen is consumed during walking. After the leg muscles have used the oxygen, the blood in the legs becomes impure due to depleted oxygen content. This blood needs replenishing with oxygen in order to circulate again and supply oxygen to the legs. To replenish the oxygen, the impure blood must leave the legs and reach the lungs through the heart. After purication, the blood will return into circulation through the heart and again enter the legs through the arteries. If the blood pools in the legs and does not ascend to reach the lungs, it will keep on collecting inside the legs and start lling veins under the skin. These veins will start dilating due to the abnormal lling and become visible on the skin, appearing like a spider. How do you identify varicose veins? scherono@ke.nationmedia.com
BY STELLA CHERONO
he increasingly sedentary lifestyles we lead today have brought health problems, not just those related to obesity and heart disease, but also those that affect our legs. Varicose veins, which affect our legs, are abnormally thick, full of twists and turns, or enlarged. According to Dr Kumar Pandey, a cardio-vascular and thoracic surgeon, lack of regular exercise and long hours of continuous sitting cause the development of varicose veins. Women, especially during pregnancy and after delivery, are prone to develop varicose veins, which if not treated, can lead to non-healing ulcers in the legs or deformity, says Dr Pandey. The doctor says varicose veins remain a challenge since many of those who are aected do not know where to get treatment. Computer professionals,
What is the treatment for varicose veins? In the early stages, they can be reverted by change of lifestyle. You have to walk regularly and exercise. Walk for at least two hours in a day and avoid sitting or standing still for more than an hour. You have to reduce your weight, too. A patient with varicose veins needs to visit a vascular specialist every two months. Fully developed varicose veins require conventional surgery or laser radiofrequency ablation. You need to visit a vascular surgeon who is equipped for such surgeries. It should be noted that varicose veins treatment does not require the services of a skin or bone specialist. What is the dierence between surgery and laser technique? Surgery is done by cutting the skin and cleaning the veins, while in the laser technique, radioactive rays are used. A patient should discuss with a vascular surgeon whichever mode of treatment, depending on the level of damage and the patients preference. The doctor will have to also consider other factors like pre-existing medical conditions before treating the veins.

Veins that are earthworm - or spider-like in the legs are likely to be varicose veins. If you develop leg swellings or pain after a moderate walk, then red patches
and prominent blue-coloured veins, you should see a doctor to check if you have developed varicose veins.

Brave battle for life despite rejection
Survivor of the rst successful Siamese separation Beatrice Wairimu (right) with her younger sister Irene at their home in Njambini last Saturday. Photos | EMMA
Some doctors and neighbours predicted that Beatrice would not live for long. Thirtyve years later, they have been proved wrong Beatrice, the hardworking young woman, lives on.
hirty five years ago, the country woke up to the news that the rst Siamese twin separation had been successful at the Kenyatta National Hospital. The Daily Nations December 19, 1977 splash headline read: Siamese Twins Separated. The article read: Surgeons at Kenyatta National Hospital made history in Africa yesterday when they successfully separated Siamese twins. Last night the babies were doing ne at the hospitals intensive care unit. The operation took about seven hours it started at 9am and ended at 5.30pm. Mr J. Miller, who led 22 specialists during the operation, is quoted in the article saying there was hope that the babies might live. But what made it easier was the fact that the twins did not share a heart, each baby was given a piece of life , Mr Miller said. Prof Sam Ongeri, the current minister for Foreign Aairs, was among the team of doctors who operated on the girls. Living traced the twin who survived Beatrice Wairimu to her humble abode at Njambi-ini in Nyandarua County. Nothing about her betrays the fact that she was the most talked about baby at the time, not only in Kenya, but across the continent. In fact, you would not know how special she is until she tells you her story. She is a normal woman living an ordinary life, save for the rejection she suered in her early years. Beatrice thinks that she is a miracle baby who survived and says she would have loved to meet her sister. I am told that our separation was a miracle because my twin sister had developed health complications, prompting the surgery to be done a week earlier than had been planned. I wish she had lived. We would have had so

much to share, says Beatrice. The twins were born at the Thika District Hospital on November 21, 1977, and were later transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital. An operation was scheduled for December 29, 1977 to separate them but one of the babies developed complications, so the surgery was done earlier, on December 18. The twins, who were delivered by caesarean section, were the joy of their parents, Mary Wanjiru Njuguna and Samuel Njuguna. But their birth stoked curiosity, whispers, snide remarks, and debate across the country, the African continent, and the world because they were conjoined from the chest to the abdomen. The doctors named the girls Baby A and Baby B.
tors tried to save her but she died the day after the operation, Mrs Njuguna says. Whenever I looked at Baby B in the incubator in the ICU, Id get this fear that it was only a matter of time before she too left me. She looked so weak and helpless, she says. Some doctors, nurses, and visitors at Kenyatta National Hospital did not make the pain any easier to bear, saying that Baby B would not survive, and that even if she did, she would never reach the age of ve. But Baby B, Beatrice Jane Wairimu, was determined to survive and ght for her health. There was a sticker on the door of her cubicle that read Merry Christmas Baby B and I prayed that this would not be the only Christmas she would live to see, says her mother. Baby B was bap-

I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR MY HEALTH. I KNOW THAT I HAVE MANY MORE YEARS TO LIVE AND GOD HAS GREAT PLANS FOR ME..., Beatrice
Doctors, nurses, patients, and curious wananchi thronged the Thika District Hospital to get a glimpse of the girls. They were so weak that not even the doctors who visited them thought they would survive. However, deep down, their mother still hoped that her little ones would make it and live normal lives. So on the day that history was made, Mrs Njuguna and her husband said their prayers as the surgery went on. Their prayers were answered and they heaved a sigh of relief when one of the specialists announced: We have made it. The twins had been separated! However, Mrs Njugunas joy was short-lived when a day later Baby A developed breathing difculties. She had also bled a lot during the operation. The doctised at the hospital and given the name Beatrice Jane by the doctors and nurses who looked after her. Eight months after the operation, she was released from hospital. Thirty-ve years later, Baby B lives on. However, it has not been easy. Beatrice says that many times, she has found herself on the verge of giving up, especially when her health fails. There are times when loneliness creeps in. Sometimes I sit on my bed at night and wonder why I was born the way I was, she says in a low tone. Beatrice, who is a tailor, was tted with a catheter in her stomach to replace the broken intestines she shared with her sister, Baby A. Sometimes the catheter causes complications in the stomach, causing her low moments. Growing up, she admits that the extra care she got bothered her. As I grew up in Kandara,
Beatrice outside her home in Njabi-iini, Nyandarua County. Above right; At her tailoring premise. Photos | EMMA NZIOKA Muranga, I noticed that my body had many scars, especially on the chest and stomach, unlike other girls. I visited many hospitals, too. So far, I have had seven corrective surgeries. Consequently, Beatrice never had time to play or go to school. She says the scars were a painful reminder that she was not normal . Each time I took a bath or looked at myself in the mirror, I would hear this voice in my mind telling me, Hey Beatrice, you are not a normal girl! She started her education at Kandara Primary School in 1984 but dropped out to get treatment. She resumed learning three years later. Beatrice says that starting school late aected her studies and relationship with other pupils. I felt as though I did not belong. Those Id started school with were going to Class Four and here I was, starting afresh. She became withdrawn, and hardly played or socialised with other children. She was only comfortable with her older brother, Paul Karanja, who always came to her defence. Beatrices family started to lose friends. There were old friends who became total strangers and avoided my family completely. At school, I noticed that few children wanted to play or befriend me. I felt alone and unworthy, says Beatrice. Her mother, who is now a widow, was blamed for Beatrices health problems. Some claimed that contraceptive pills had caused our problem while others accused my mother of practising witchcraft. The rumours became too much to bear, so the family moved from their home in Kandara, Muranga County to Njabi-ini, Nyandarua County, in 1991. I was happy to move to a new place where few people knew us. I joined Class Five at Njabi-ini Primary School and with the hope that the discrimination I had faced in Kandara would be no more, says Beatrice. However, her academic performance failed to improve. I tried hard to

improve my grades but I never clicked. She admits that at some point, she started to entertain the notion that she was dumb and would never make it in school. Her brother, Paul Karanja, says the bubbly girl she had become in Njabi-ini started to fade as she slowly gravitated towards being the lonely girl that she had been in Kandara. Beatrices father, Samuel Njuguna, died in October 1999. He was always supportive, encouraging his daughter to soldier on. Beatrice remembers her father as a man who stood by his family even when they were rejected by their neighbours and friends. He had been ailing for some years and even took early retirement from the Kenya Railways Corporation, where he worked, says Beatrice. He worked in Nairobi and would often visit the family at Njabi-ini during weekends and end of the month.
I always looked forward to seeing him. I was his favourite child, she says, recalling the gifts, such as new clothes and dolls, that he would bring her. I would have wished to have him around more often, walk around holding his hand like other children in our village, but looking, back, I know that it could not have been possible: he had to work in order to take care of us, she says. In 1996, Beatrice did her KCPE at Njabi-ini Primary School and scored 150 marks out of the possible 700. I performed poorly but I convinced myself that failing the exam would not be the end of the road for me. I could still make something of my life and live to be the woman I was destined to be, she says. She started to consult and contemplate the course to pursue in order to make a living for herself. If I could do a small informal course, then I would be well positioned to chip in for the costs of my treatment and help my mother, who had other children to look after, says the fth born in a family of eight children. But before she could make up her mind what course to study, she fell ill. Her life took another nosedive in 2003 due to the catheter in her stomach. According to the doctors at Kenyatta National Hospital, the catheter was supposed to be removed in 2003. However, her le could not be traced and was reported lost. Fortunately for her, one of the doctors who had been in the operation team in 1977, Dr Joab Gilbert Christopher Amollo, came to her rescue. He had a paediatric clinic in Kisumu and asked me to go there for observation and treatment. Beatrice recuperated but the catheter was not removed. The doctor said I looked normal and healthy and there was no need to remove the catheter at the time, she says. Three years later, Dr Amollo died before the catheter could be removed. The problem
has returned to haunt her, but Beatrice says she has learned never to be downcast by her health problems. Her friend, Catherine Gathoni, concurs, saying that Beatrice is always jovial, inspirational, and active, especially in church. She is a reliable friend too and will not wait to be asked to help when she can. I pray that she recovers fully, she says. In 2009, Beatrice completed a course in tailoring and started her own business in 2010. She works from home and says that although she is not yet the richest tailor around, the fact that she is able to work and be nancially independent is proof that she is destined for nancial success. I believe that being self-sucient is all about doing the little you can to live o your sweat. However, she adds that her business has not been doing well lately. Working from home has hampered my ability to attract more customers. I may not be earning much and will struggle to sometimes get medication, but I am condent that my life will soon be back on track, she says. Beatrice, who is not married and has no children, says she sometimes fears that she will spend her life in loneliness. I am a woman just like any other and have emotional and physical needs too. There are times I have woken up at night and cried, wondering if Ill end up alone and lonely. But I know that I have lived my life through hope and faith in God. I cannot aord to give up or betray my trust in Him when I have seen the impossible become possible. She says that she knows that her Mr Right is out there and has also not lost hope of having children. I will continue to ght for my health. I know that I have many more years to live and God has great plans for me. I will achieve much more, have a family of my own, raise children, and even live to see my grandchildren, she says.
Melinda and Robert found their way into one of the slums where KENWA operates after their neighbours in the village became unbearable. Both had been working, Melinda as a schoolteacher and Robert as a social worker. Even before they got married and had children, their marriage met sti opposition. They come from dierent communities or tribes, if you like. Roberts father had insisted that there was no way any of his children could marry from that forbidden tribe. To compound the problem, Melinda came from a rich family. Roberts father said Melinda was likely to look down on Robert because of this. All these supercial reasons to forbid this marriage were water o a ducks back for these village sweethearts. After completing college, they started living as husband and wife. This shut up everyone. Somehow, they thought that nally their love had proved beyond reasonable doubt that tribes and all those man-made barriers do not matter, that what matters most is true love. TROUBLE IN PARADISE Things were ne until their fourth child was due. Melinda had to attend antenatal clinic, where an HIV test was mandatory. She tested HIV-positive. Her husband also tested HIV-positive. Despite this turn of events, they vowed to stick together and never tell anyone their secret. After delivery, Melinda started falling sick frequently. She was in and out of hospital with myriad illnesses. Their medical cover was soon exhausted. Then she lost the baby before its rst birthday. I mean, that was clear from the start. As if fate had conspired against the couple, Robert went down with a bout of tuberculosis and lost a lot of weight. THE DIVORCE MESSENGER Then a messenger was sent from Roberts family to come and remind him of his past sins. Why did he think he could get away with disobedience? He had already been warned not to marry a girl from that tribe. That was the cause of his sickness, they concluded. The illness would go away only if he abandoned this cursed wife and children and went back home for a fresh start of life. The messenger had no idea what was ailing the couple. They thought the problem could be solved by a cleansing ceremony conducted by a mganga, an expert in such matters. After the cleansing, he would be required to slaughter a bull and some chickens, spill blood, and the curse would be gone.
Meanwhile, the couple sold whatever little property was left after incurring huge hospital bills and came to live in the slums of Nairobi. When I visited them, they were bundled together inside their shack. Seeing them and the good English they spoke, it was hard to believe where they were coming from and where this virus had landed them. Their only source for food was KENWA community health workers (CHWs). Before we came to their aid, their children often scavenged for leftovers from dumpsites. BOUNCING BACK Although things were a bit out of hand, Melinda was still determined to get back to her feet and go on teaching as Robert looked for work. I instructed our workers that although the food rations were dwindling by the day, this couple should get supplies and keep to their treatment until they were back on their feet. Three months later during one of our meetings, I asked about the progress of the couple from the CHW in charge. Oh! Those ones? They recovered long time ago they even asked me for condoms, the worker replied. Folks, no oence meant, but this is how we know that some of our clients are getting better when they reach a point of asking for condoms. We at KENWA know that when clients ask for condoms, they are on the road to recovery. The next phase is getting out of the feeding programme. MENDING BROKEN HEARTS AND HEARTHS Robert later worked with KENWA as a social worker. I understand that now he is working for an international organisation as a programmes ocer. I have not met him recently or his wife to nd out how the villagers reacted to this recovery without a visit to the mganga. But I am happy for this couple who did not let family, the customs, or HIV to break their relationship. They never shared with us how they contracted the virus, although this normally is not our business. In a nutshell, our business is to mend broken hearts and hearths.

A GOOD FATHER IS ALWAYS THERE FOR HIS DAUGHTER
My daughters denition of daddy

BY JOSAYA WASONGA
Daddy is the mirror Puddng is learning from the best teacher moi that there is nothing emasculating in a father rocking an apron. Besides, when I have writers block, or my muse goes MIA, one of my cures is chores. I mean, anything to take my mind o the actualities of creating. I have had eureka moments while doing mundane household tasks. Towards the end of last year we saw a documentary, Working Lives, on the Beeb. One of the proles was on Roseline Awino, an itinerant launderer who cleans the clothes of, among others, the Sauti Sol quartet. Kwani these big men who sing on TV cant wash their clothes themselves? Puddng was taken aback. Theyre being oshewad for by a woman. that the surprise I had for her was a pair of new school shoes, she was not th-a-a-t surprised. To the little fashionista, this is the thought that currently counts: what is happening. I cannot fathom Puddngs teenage wish lists. Hopefully, by that time I will have hit me an oil well in Turkana. Daddy is the visible man I am blessed. Unless my work takes me away from home, Puddng sees me rst thing she wakes up and last thing before she turns in. I am literally in my daughters sweet face, which is a great thing because I get to see her growing trail . With children, sometimes you blink and miss a Kodak milestone. If I have an appointment or interview, Puddng nds it strange. When I am all dressed up, she always asks where I am going. Here is my take. A visible father even if via Skype is a guy with a caring head on his shoulders. So do your thing, diaspora dad. Daddy is superman It may be small things like tying her shoe laces, or stuck things like opening the ketchup bottle. Or spelling things like the meaning of some big word she has heard on television. But Puddng sees me as strength personied. I always tell Puddng that if anything happens to her, she should not be afraid to come straight to daddy. Me? I want my daughter to relate with me as her guardian angel, not her prison guard. I am Puddngs last line of defence. When she is playing with her friends and someone does something to her, it makes me feel superhuman to overhear her bragging, Ill tell my dad. Ill tell my dad. Like dad has a big S painted on his one-pack. Daddy is the answering machine Puddng thinks dad knows all the answers, from saving the ozone layer to her dolls thinning hair. About the latter, Puddng amputated its limbs while playing surgeon and plucked o its hair while playing hairstylist. Here are some of Puddngs FAQs (frequently asked questions), the funnily asked questions . I jotted them down a year or so ago. They may be overtaken by time, seeing as the little girl now thinks she is all grown up. Whats maize made of? Dah-dee, si neno born is a word? Dah-dee, is it called the Holy Bible, or Bible Holy? What is Kimbo in English? Clouds ni nini na English? FAQs like these just go on to prove that daddy is anything but a walking thesaurus. Daddy is the night watchman Each night before Puddng turns in, she knows that I must ask the big bedtime question: Gone for a short call? Sometimes she will reply, It has refused , as if it has a mind of its own. If Puddng does not go to sleep with an empty tank , I know she will wake me up

PUDDNG THINKS DAD KNOWS ALL THE ANSWERS, FROM SAVING THE OZONE LAYER TO HER DOLLS THINING HAIR

When to apply for letters of administration

As we saw last week, these are the terms and their meaning, as used in administration: Grant of letters of administration: It is the authority given by the court to a person in order for them to administer the estate of a person who may have died without writing a will, or if he did, did not name an executor or the named executor is unable to act as such for whatever reason. Grant of probate: This is given by the court in cases where a person dies and behind a will in which they have appointed someone to administer their estate. The appointed person, called an executor or executrix if it is a woman, approaches the court for grant of probate, not letters of administration. Grant of representation: This is the general term for grant of letters of administration and grant of probate. Testate Succession: This deals with the property of a deceased person who leaves a valid will. Intestate succession: It entails dealing with the property of a dead person who does not leave a will or leaves an invalid one. If a person provides for some of their properties in the will but leaves out others, they are termed to be partially intestate. One can apply for letters of administration when; A person dies intestate or A person dies and leaves a will which does not name an executor or The executor named refuses to act as such or is unable to act for whatever reason. When there is a will but no executor or the executor is unable to act, the applicant for the letters of administration should annex the will to the application. The law provides that an application for a grant of representation shall only be made in such form as may be prescribed. The Law of Succession then proceeds to provide for certain forms that one should use in making the application. These forms vary, depending on whether the person applying wants full grant or limited grant for certain purposes or depending on whether there was a will or not. When applying for letters of administration, therefore, one should be guided by the forms that are set out in the Law of Succession Act. These forms may be purchased from the court or you can ask your lawyer to draw them up for you. The forms should be signed by the applicant and witnessed. Such an application shall include information as to the full names of the deceased, the date and place of his demise, his last known place of residence, the relationship of the applicant to the dead person, and whether or not the deceased left a valid will. Other information includes the present addresses of any executors appointed by such a will. In cases of total or partial intestacy, the names and addresses of all surviving spouses, children, parents, brothers, and sisters of the deceased, and the children of any child of his or hers that is deceased. A full list of all assets and liabilities of the deceased and other matters as may be prescribed must also be provided. Next week, we shall look at which court an application for the letters of administration should be presented and who may apply for the letters of administration.

How to make that unforgetable pasta
Childhood asthma: A dietary change or a lifetime of drugs?

Since the arrival of Baby Mukherjee, it has been harder to see children at the clinic. But every time I see a set of big Disney-like eyes, all I want to do is grin right back. It really does break my heart when I hear about the medication such little ones are taking, especially those that are asthmatic. Parents often feel they have no choice but give their child medicines (in most cases, designed for adults), so that they can make it painlessly through the day. Asthma is a condition characterised by narrowing of the airways of the lungs (bronchioles). This is usually coupled with inammation in the bronchioles or mucus lling them, making the ow of air in and out of the lungs dicult. It is a condition that is on the rise worldwide. Over the past decade, the rate of childhood asthma has roughly doubled. Figures show that the malady now aicts one in ve children. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. There are many potential triggers for asthma some can come from within the body. An example of this is the food taken. Others are from outside. They include pollen and air pollution. Conventional treatment involves identifying and avoiding the triggers, and then using medication that either relaxes the muscles surrounding the airways (bronchodilators) or helps to dampen the immune systems inammatory response (steroids). While it is encouraging that the Ministry of Health and the Kenya Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease have recently launched a campaign to raise awareness about asthma and improve provision of medicines and health care workers, I cannot help but wonder why the number of children aected by the disease keeps increasing by the day. Could it have something to do with our modern lidestyles and eating habits? I believe diet contributes much more to prevalence of asthma than many people think. The most common problem I have dealt with at the clinic is food sensitivity. What I mean is that many asthmatic cases are triggered by certain foods. Research in this area dates back to the 1950s. Scientists now believe that food sensitivity accounts for almost 75 per cent of the cases of childhood asthma. No doubt your child eats lots of dierent things, so where do you start? In practice, I have found that the most common culprits are wheat and dairy products: milk and cheese in particular. It is simply amazing how many children I have seen improve drastically simply by following a dairyand wheat-free diet. And it does not even take long, just a few weeks. Interestingly, children who recover fastest are the ones whose parents swear that their child would not live without their bread for breakfast or snack-time milk. The other factor that appears to trigger childhood asthma is the consumption of the supposedly healthy polyunsaturated fats. Found in margarine, vegetable oils, processed and convenience foods, studies have shown that these omega-6 fats can promote inammation in the body, which in turn initiates the underlying processes that lead to lung constriction that is characteristic of asthma. On the contrary, omega-3 fats, such as those found in oily sh, appear to have the ability to reduce body inammation. Perhaps it is time to overhaul your childs diet and ditch that ventolin pump once and for all

asta, we learnt two weeks ago, is a form of Italian noodle and is a staple food for many around the world. The trick, when it comes to a great pasta dish, is in the way you prepare and handle it afterwards. Here are some points to consider.
Cooking pasta The first thing to note when preparing pasta is to read what the pack says is the cooking time. Preparation time is determined by the type and thickness of the particular pasta. Generally, dry pasta cooks anywhere between six to nine minutes. The other thing to note during cooking is to try and leave the pasta slightly rm to the bite (al dente) if you really want to enjoy the meal. 1. First have your water come to a boil and add salt. Place the pasta into the boiling water and allow to cook. 2. Two minutes after placing the pasta in the water, stir to prevent it sticking together. 3. Let it continue boiling uncovered for the time instructed on the pack. 4. Just before the time is up, take a piece and bite to test the hardness of the pasta. It is
ready if you see a small white line or spot inside the piece. 5. Drain the water and cool under cold running water if you intend to eat the pasta immediately. 6. Drain the hot water in a container and add oil to avoid the pasta sticking together, especially if you intend to have it refrigerated. 7. When put in an air tight container, pasta can remain good in fridge for up to three days. 8. Add your accompanying sauce. This is a classic pasta dish that is easy to make. You can serve with bacon or beef bacon. This recipe will yield one portion Ingredients: 200gm pre-cooked pasta 20gm bacon Peas (pre-cooked and optional) 1 small onion ( cut into thin slices) Garlic Parmesan cheese (grated) Carbonara cream 50ml cream (1/4 cup) 1 egg yolk 50ml milk (1/4 cup). The ratio of cream to milk should be 1:1. If you decide not to use milk, then substitute it with cream) Procedure:
1. In a small bowl, put the cream or milk, and egg yolk plus a little salt and mix thoroughly. 2. In a pan, cook the onion, garlic, and bacon till the bacon is slightly brown. Use a small amount of oil to avoid sticking. Look out to avoid browning the onion. 3. Add the peas and mix, then put in half the carbonara cream. Allow to heat up and come to a boil. If the pasta is cold, pour hot water on it and drain, put in pan, then mix. 4. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. If you heated the pasta with hot water, then avoid having the cream reduce too much and drying o as you wait for the pasta to be hot. But if this happens, add the remaining cream to make it semi-dry. 4. Serve immediately. Chef Raphaels Tip I prefer the pasta not to be too wet and this is what I would recommend. It is best to use a large pan. If you are preparing pasta for many, use a bigger and wider sufuria because you want to avoid the breaking up fo the pasta. Chef Raphael is out to share his knowledge and skills on all things food. www.facebook.com/ chefrapahel.raphael@chefraphael.com

black slave is torn apart by dogs as a crowd of white overseers savours the sight and a black bounty hunter watches passively behind his sunglasses. A black father makes his little girl crack open a crab with her bare hands then ex her tiny muscles like a pint-size NFL linebacker. A black pilot snorts a line of cocaine after a night of debauchery and, just a few minutes before lifto, knocks back several miniature bottles of alcohol. A black woman tells President Abraham Lincoln that God will guide him as he pushes legislation that will end slavery but not dent the entrenched notions of white supremacy. The four lms noted here are contenders for a slew of major Oscars: Django Unchained, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Fligh, and Lincoln. In the year America gave its rst black president a second term, some of Hollywoods most celebrated lms, all by white directors, dealt with blackwhite race relations or revolved around black characters, which is rare. For the rst time in recent memory, race is central to several Oscar conversations. But the black characters humanity is hit or miss. These lms raise the age-old question of whether white lmmakers are ready to grant black characters agency in their own screen lives. Looking at these Oscar-nominated lms, we should ask: Are black characters given a real back story and real-world motivations? Are they agents of their own destiny or just foils for white characters? Are they too noble to be real? Are they too ghetto to be esh and blood? Do any of these characters point to a way forward? First, a bit of context: Throughout the early decades of the post-civil rights era, African Americans tended to view their image in media, particularly in movies, through a prism of positive or negative . These simplistic terms served a kind of Rorschach test of images that could make black folks comfortable or uncomfortable. Denzel Washington as a strong-willed, heroic Union soldier in Glory (1989) was considered positive. Denzel Washington as a crooked Los Angeles cop in Training Day (2001) was negative. He won Oscars for both, but his corrupt cop was polarising since it implicated black treachery, with white indierence, in urban crime. This dualistic language endured, in part, for generational reasons. People who remembered the racism and paternalism of classic Hollywood movies remained vigilant. Class played a role as well. College-educated audiences, perhaps more sensitive to cinematic subtleties, were more likely to accuse filmmakers, black and white, of negative stereotypes than were working-class viewers. The positivenegative terminology left little room for ambiguity, but since mainstream American cinema rarely aorded black characters complexity, this schematic vision stuck around, especially among older blacks. A more sophisticated standard for judging a characters merits has emerged as the most obvious stereotypes have, for the most part, faded and as filmmakers, for better and sometimes worse, have attempted to normalise the black image. In the age of Obama, when a black man is the protagonist in the national narrative, are Hollywoods ctional characters allowed the same agency in the stories built around them? That is a

Beneath the glamour: Race relations have dominated Oscar conversations for ages, but in a year the Americans gave Barack Obama his second and last term as president of the worlds only superpower, lm directors saw it t to revolve around black characters. The world noticed, and now the debate rages
Django is unchained, not so the black star
In the age of Obama, when a black man is the protagonist in the national narrative, are Hollywoods ctional characters allowed the same agency in the stories built around them?
fair question to ask of these Oscar contenders. As Spike Lee, the Hughes Brothers, Julie Dash, and John Singleton demonstrated during the brief, resonant black-lm boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s, depicting black characters not as racial symbols but accessible human beings required creating male and female roles of moral breadth and depth. The legacy of Do the Right Thing, Menace II Society, Daughters of the Dust, and others is that audiences cannot respect any thematically ambitious lm that delves into race but relies on stick-gure characterisations. Though all these movies are at least 20 years old, they linger in our cin-
ematic culture as standard-bearers for lmmakers. This is particularly true for white directors, writers, and producers who venture into this contentious space. (In colour-blind roles think of Will Smith in one of his futuristic ventures agency is less of an issue. People tend to be more forgiving of the motivations of an actor battling space invaders and rebellious robots.) Let us look at Steven Spielbergs much-lauded Lincoln. Despite the films two-and-a-half-hour running time, the very first scenes define the role of its black characters. Initially, we see black soldiers battling Confederates in muddy, brutal conditions.

and makes it dicult to take seriously. Foxxs Django is undeterred and implacable in the search for his lost wife, but he is not a true human being. It is clear that Tarantino, whose best movies centre on people of deeply dubious morality, is more invested in the murderous, funny supporting characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Waltz, who was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for the role. In Robert Zemeckis Flight, Washington, whose stature and skills made him both the new Sidney Poitier and anxious to break the role-model mould, explores his dark side again. As Whip Whitaker, an alcoholic, coke-snorting, lying but gifted pilot, Washington adds another reprehensible but redeemable character to a canon that includes his incarcerated basketball genius of He Got Game (1998). Washington began his career as a positive-image avatar, then masterly steered his career into nuanced roles in which race is not addressed in the plot. Audiences have embraced this strategy, making Washington one of the only adult movie stars people still reliably pay money to see. In the 2012 Quigley Poll, theatre owners voted him the number one box oce attraction of the year, based on the espionage thriller Safe House and Flight, for which he received a best actor Oscar nomination. Whips struggle to confront his demons is the engine of Flight; he is the agent of his own tortured destiny. But it should be noted that a clever casting choice adds another layer to his story. Having Don Cheadle portray Hugh Lang, the hectoring, cocksure attorney who serves as a super-rational yin to Whips reckless yang, gives us the pleasure of watching two black peers joust with gusto. Their mutual disdain would play very dierently, with a racial edge, if Lang were played by, say, Aaron Eckhart or David Duchovny. Whip, though beautifully rendered by Washington, is not the most morally complex black character Oscar voters are grappling with. While Quvenzhane Wallis, now nine, is up for best actress as Hushpuppy in Beasts of the Southern Wild, her dance partner in that duet of a lm, Dwight Henry, gives a performance of profound hurt, rage, and sadness as her father, Wink. Dying of an unnamed disease, Wink ips between toughening, shielding, and ignoring his daughter in preparing her for his inevitable death. Watching a man clearly better suited to raising a boy than a girl struggle with this responsibility is one of the movies chief joys. As the centre of a dreamy, surreal lm that melds fantasy with neo-realism, Wink is our connection to the harsh world outside their ramshackle home in a bayou neighbourhood called the Bathtub. He is a respected leader in a community of mists. On the mainland, he is just another poor black man with anger issues. The director, Behn Zeitlin, and Lucy Alibar, co-writer of the screenplay with Zeitlin, created the platform for a performance that is uncomfortably human, unsentimental, and not easily sympathetic. If judged crudely as positive or negative, Winks behaviour would be labelled as negative which would be silly. Henry portrays a wounded warrior, a tough-love nurturer, and a workingclass man who is so rare on screen that, next to Hushpuppys brightness, we can barely see his humanity. Do not expect to see a lot of characters as tough, dark, and loving as Wink anytime soon. Writing and performances this brave are rare, magical occurrences. We can only hope for more. (NYT)
bench, looking as magnanimous as his statue at the National Mall. Standing below him, looking up, are two black soldiers, a mise-en-scene that establishes the supporting role blacks play in a lm essentially about their path to freedom. The rst soldier, Pvt Harold Green (Colman Domingo), speaks of the battleeld bravery of blacks in a tone that is quietly proud, yet slightly obsequious. He is interrupted by Cpl Ira Clark (David Oyelowo), who assertively presses for black ocers. This brief moment of tension is broken by two hero-worshipping white soldiers and Lincolns humour. The scene ends with Clark walking slowly away while reciting the Gettysburg Address, reminding the president of the promises implicit in his soaring rhetoric. Spielberg and the screenwriter, Tony Kushner, apparently hope this introduction, showing black soldiers in action and speaking some pointed dialogue, will frame the congressional debates ahead. The pushy Clark, in a sense, works as a stand-in for the advocacy of abolitionists like Frederick Douglass, whose absence from Lincoln looms large in the minds of many black viewers. Unfortunately, that thread is obscured by lengthy, bloodless scenes of political wrangling. Exceptional actors like Stephen McKinley Henderson, as Lincolns butler, William Slade, and Gloria Rueben, as Mary Todd Lincolns friend and dressmaker, Elizabeth Keckley, mostly stand as mute witnesses to historical acts they are close to yet have little ability to eect. A hot topic in the black blogosphere is a scene near the lms conclusion in which Thaddeus Stevens (Tommy Lee Jones), the longtime Republican abolitionist champion, returns home after the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation and slides comfortably into bed with Lydia Hamilton Smith (S. Epatha Merkerson), his fair-skinned black housekeeper, suggesting that love drove his commitment to ending slavery. If the 23-year-long relationship of Stevens and Smith was the re that ignited his anti-slavery passion, it deserved more screen time than a third-act reveal. While Lincoln depicts its black characters as helpless observers, Django Unchained uses pulp ction tropes to tell the coming of age of a slave-turned-bounty hunter (Jamie Foxx). Be it Spaghetti Western, Kungfu Flick, or even Star Wars, the heros journey is a staple. The director, Quentin Tarantino, uses this template to trace Djangos growth into an avenging lethal weapon. Putting aside the sometimes hysterical count of a prominent racial epithet, a more fundamental issue for many blacks is Djangos student-teacher relationship with Dr King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a dentist-turnedbounty hunter who trains him in the grisly art of, as Django puts it, killing white men and getting paid for it . While audiences have enjoyed the lms revisionist critique of apologist slavery lms like Gone With the Wind and its celebration of 1970s exploitation ( Mandingo ), a vocal group of critics sees the Django-Schultz relationship as another sign of black submission to white authority, even though the ex-slave exacts brutal revenge on white oppressors and black sell-outs. The question of Djangos agency is muddled by Tarantinos fealty to genre. Lacking, or perhaps denying, the need for strict historical accuracy, Django exists both inside the realities of the pre-Civil War South and outside of that history in the fantasyland of Tarantinos mind, a contradictory dynamic that both animates Django

The BMW 320D: Who said die

It has been a while since I have done one of these: A used car review, and a standardised one at that. I recently had access to a diesel-powered Bavarian compact saloon, and while the real reason for driving it was to try and establish a route for the upcoming Great Run (which I have decided to call The GREAT RUN, this being the third instalment and all), this did not stop the analyst in me from doing a slightly more than cursory assessment of the vehicle. So, two-and-ahalf years after the last one appeared, here is my next standardised motoring press agency road test
drive it on anything other than tarmac, just to be safe. The E46 is a low-slung saloon car, a bit more low-slung than most, so where a Corolla NZE may pass through, an E46 may not necessarily follow suit. I experienced this rst hand. Speed bumps are a nightmare to traverse, as are potholes, especially when you are four-deep in the passenger cell and the bump rises more than three inches o the ground. However, the BMW is practical in several other ways. It will seat four in relative comfort (make the tall people sit at the front), stretch to ve and the relative description becomes even more relative. The boot is sizeable enough for ordinary luggage (luggage, again, is relative; some people have livestock as luggage. I am not talking to these people), the interior is roomy enough for long trips and the seats comfortable enough for the inmates of the car to arrive at their distant destination while still friends. The generous glass-house gives a good view out of the car, but the mirrors are a little small. Blame this on my recent engagement with cars with elephant ears for side mirrors: Range Rovers and Hyundai Santa Fes, to be exact. Parking is not hard, nor is un-parking. Parking sensors ensure that you will not be bumping into small children as you reverse I think. primarily senseless. Anything less than 10 kpl and your driving style could be described as antisocial. This is a round gure, a longterm average, not instantaneous economy. Expect 10-12 kpl in the city or more and 16-18 kpl on the highwayor more. This is not a joke, diesel is the future I think.
USED CAR REVIEW: E46 BMW 320D
Some say good used German cars are hard to nd. Does this apply here? E46s
are numerous in almost all iterations except for the M3. Walk into almost any dealer forecourt and you are likely to encounter an E46 on sale. Preferred colours are silver, black, navy blue, and white, but mostly silver and black. Other colours are red and dark green. I am not big on colours, so let me just stop there. Finding one to buy is easy, but what about GETTING one? Well, I have seen these cars oered in various price ranges. A friend and I were oered a 2003 silver KBH-reg automatic 320i for Sh600,000. The black car that feeds from the black pump is a 2005 KBT-reg manual 320d going for Sh1.7 million. A huge disparity, yes, and maybe not entirely worth it. The owner will kill me for saying this, seeing how the car is still on sale and all, but a Sh 1.1 million price markup for two years dierence in age is a lot. I will admit the silver car takes a lot of freedom with the phrase good German car (it may or may not have been 100 per cent a good car), and the black KBT is a much better vehicle overall (with lower mileage to boot), but come on, it costs three times as much as the other. Really? A good ball-park gure for a sevenyear-old E46 in near-pristine condition is about Sh1.3 million. Yeah, I said it. Do not get robbed.

generation of BMWs uber-successful small saloons. Built from 1998 to just around 2007, it is the prettiest of the lot (older versions are beautiful. This one is pretty. Later models are best left untalked about in terms of looks). It has also been described as a step backwards in driver engagement from its predecessor, the E36, but this description comes from other motoring journalists who are not me.

no. Spares will cost an arm and a leg. And an eye. And one of your children. But this is only if you need many of them (spares, not children or body parts), and you mostly will not, unless you are one of the antisocial drivers I mentioned above. Try not to mess up the exhaust. Try not to mess up the injectors. Try not to mess up the ECU. And as much as possible try not to mess up the catalytic converter (the cat is the source of many problems in a car engine). These will burn a huge hole in your pocket, and subsequently your family structure too, when your wife and still-unsold children desert you, citing scal irresponsibility on your part.
as one of the best cars I have ever driven. The E46 I had had a longitudinally mounted four-cylinder single-turbo diesel engine displacing two liters and feeding power to the rear axle through a six-speed manual transmission. The diesel engine may sound like the y in the ointment for an otherwise perfect setup, but instead it turned out to be the highlight of the show, courtesy of that solitary blower. You get into the car. The driving position is a little tricky; not entirely the cars fault, but mostly because of my simian proportions. I have long hands and short legs. The tiller, on the other hand (pun intended), only adjusts for height; but

not reach and rake. Fiddle with the seat positions. One position has me seated high up and almost hugging the wheel imagine yourself getting a studio photo taken while holding your diploma in front of you or just look at the nearest woman driver next to you in trac. In other words, too close to the wheel. The other seat position has me sunk back much lower and towards the middle of the car, so seeing over the dashboard becomes an issue. A lot of ddling and adjusting gets me a compromise. Fire up the stove. There is the typical diesel clatter, though nicely muted, so it is more of a thrum. If you are parked next to a wall, then the thrum will be echoed back to you and so hello Massey-Ferguson. But it is not that bad. Get into gear.

esel is a waste of fossils now?

Things to watch for if you have never been in a BMW before. Reverse is next to rst, but to engage it, you have to force the gear lever farther left along the x-axis, then it slides forward almost by itself. It is not that dicult, but once done, there is a nagging fear that you may have gone into reverse again every time you select rst, but of course you have not. The pedals do not carry the best arrangement either. The accelerator is where it should be, the clutch pedal is where the brake pedal should be and the brake pedal is where the brake pedal should be. Where we normally have the clutch pedal lies a foot rest. That makes for an interesting driving position, where you sit skewed sideways. Think of a woman in a short skirt seated on stage in front of male high school students, and you get the idea. Knees together and legs tilted slightly to one side. Clutch in. The weighting seems just right, if a little on the heavy side. Declutch and notice the narrowness of the biting point. It takes a bit of practice to launch this car without a) rolling backwards b) surging/ jerking forwards or Lord help me, c) stalling. But every car needs practice to master, and after two or three standing starts, the clutch action becomes intuitive. Move o, and it all starts to come together beautifully. First gear is strictly for launch purposes. Rather than giving it the beans in rst, spool up the motor to about 1800 rpm and snatch second. A short shift, yes, but it works best that way. The engine has enough torque to pull from 1200 rpm smoothly: it is a diesel after all.
2,00o
The total amount of rpm needed for the turbo to kick in when driving the E46 BMW 320D Feel the pull. Watch the needle climb to 1800 rpm. The pull becomes a shove. Go past 2000 rpm and the turbo kicks in. The shove becomes a surge, ever-increasing in force as the revs climb and boost pressure builds up. The acceleration is almost manic by now. At 4500 rpm, slide into third. This being a diesel, there is no need to red-line the engine; if anything, hitting the rewall drops you out of the torque band and the surge disappears, making for ungainly progress. The process repeats itself in third, fourth, and fth, at which point you realise that you are way over the speed limit and need to ease o. Grin like an idiot. Interesting Almost 150 km/h and you still have one more gear to go. This is one fast diesel car. The six-speed manual box works perfectly. You will always be stirring the lever if you want to get the best out of the diesel engine. I rarely used sixth gear, it being ideal for normal, economical cruising (2,000 rpm in sixth means you are above 100 km/h), but the other ve came in handy enough for me. You need to keep the revs simmering above 2000 rpm. Not boiling, just
The six speed manual box works well and at almost 150kph you will still have one more gear to go. Quite fast for a diesel engine. The turbo-lug posed a challenge, but the suspension handles well.
simmering. Downshift as soon as they dip below 1800. That way the turbo stays active and torque is available in amounts not seen this side of a rally car. You can downshift even earlier (at 2500 rpm) if you are deft at heel-and-toe. Rev matching is easy, courtesy of the plank-shaped throttle pedal and the juxtaposed brake pedal (just be careful with the clutch, that is all), and the clutch engagement/disengagement is optimised well enough to avoid jerking or surging when doing snap shifts up or down. Get it right and absolutely nobody can hold a candle to you on the road. Methinks this could be a tad quicker than the 320i if piloted well. It will out-drag the petrol version, I am sure. The only problem is turbo lag. Get caught out by lag and it can get quite embarrassing when footdown antics yield nothing more than a groan from under the bonnet and little movement. The handling is sublime. The suspension is nicely balanced: Taut enough for some hard second- and third-gear charging through tight S-curves with minimal body roll and no understeer, but still pliant enough to be described as comfortable in ordinary every day use. The chunky high prole tyres have some sidewall ex, but by the time you notice this, your driving will be antisocial. The good thing is that those tyres allow a wide range of driving conditions with little compromise. The rear drive chassis allows some sideways action, as does the surfeit of torque when the turbo is pung hard, but I did not try. Cornering is easy; one can clip an apex, take a wide line, or just
simply sweep through the middle of the turn like an inept novice, depending on the instructions you feed into the helm. The car tracks straight and true, there is no wandering from the front end, nor stepping out at the back. This can very easily change if you turn the DSC o. I did not try that either. After 400 km of mostly hard driving, my only gripe was my left knee, which was getting a little uncomfortable owing to the awkward driving position but then again, I must have changed gear 1,000 times or more. Blame the numerous speed bumps. And the fact that I was doing some antisocial driving through twisty roads while wringing the little Beemers neck. I loved every moment of it.
I would. There are certain factors that would lean against such a move: the price (negotiable), the very low ground clearance (I would never put a BMW on spacers or over-size rims), the cost of maintenance (this should not be a worry work harder and start saving, and take good care of the car), and the fact that it runs on diesel. Our diesel might not be the best, but while some engines refuse to run on it, I think the 320d can manage to eke at least some substantial mileage with regular system ushing before complete failure. By that time our diesel should be of world standard I hope. The reason I would buy this car is, well, it is good. It is very good to drive. And to me, that is what matters. Period. Diesel is the future.
Last, but not least, but MOST important: would I buy one? Hell yeah,

YOUR STARS
AQUARIUS | JAN 21 - FEB 19 You are keeping a very high prole where work matters are concerned and you will nd that you will nd that you have sucient charm to wrap rivals, competitors and associates if you are going for interviews. PISCES | FEB 20 - MAR 20 Minor changes may be taking place at work, however there is no reason for you to feel insecure because you are far too valuable a member of any team and because of this others wouldnt even consider the possibility of dropping you. Take time and relax today. ARIES | MAR 21 - APR 20 You will pick up on other peoples moods today. Without so much as a word you will be able to provide exactly what they want from you, whether it be emotional support, a pat on the back or some practical advice for the future. Certainly you are storing up some brownie points for yourself. TAURUS | APR 21 - MAY 20 The stars will help you to communicate your ideas and thoughts with great clarity, particularly where work matters are concerned. In your personal life, you are decidedly softer and more sentimental. There may be a special occasion or an event that jolts your memory. GEMINI | MAY 21 - JUNE 21 This is a time for reection rather than action. You need to decide exactly what you want before you make any kind of move otherwise, it will be necessary to retrace your steps at a later date. Bear in mind too that your erce pride will not allow you to do so. CANCER | JUN 22 - JULY 22 When in the company of people whom you do not know well, you quickly be able to perceive their intentions.. Someone may accuse you of being cynical but in the long run you will be proved correct. This is ideally a an evening for resting rather than going out with frends. LEO | JULY 23 - AUG 22 Try to content yourself with progress step at a time rather than expecting to become famous overnight or promoted to company director when you have only just joined your rm. It is a slow steady pace which will lead you to the top, provided you have the patience. VIRGO | AUG 23 - SEP 23 The stars today make you extremely susceptible and sensitive to the opinions and ideas and criticism of other people. Remember, they are trying to be constructive and it is quite likely that you asked for their opinion in the rst place, so you cannot complain when they give it to you straight. LIBRA | SEP 24 - OCT 23 The stars place an emphasis on changes taking place in the family or home. Do not imagine that you will have time to sit down in a comfy arm chair and put your feet up. The door bell is constantly ringing and loved ones seem to have a load of little jobs lined up for you. SCORPIO | OCT 24 - NOV 22 This may be a day that ambitions still seem to be uppermost in your mind. You are likely to be discussing future plans with loved ones. However, do not go over the top in this direction, otherwise you may loose their interest after the rst couple of hours. SAGITTARIUS | NOV 23 - DEC 21 It is likely that a friend, colleague or business associate owes you a good deal in the form of loyalty and support which you have unstintingly given them in the past. If this is the case, then it may be the appropriate time to call in the debt. CAPRICORN | DEC 22 - JAN 20 The stars today will be activating your imagination. Something is likely to occur which will make you realize just how precious life is. Because of this you will be making far-reaching decisions of an immensely personal nature. To receive NATIONmobile horoscopes on your mobile, SMS the Star you want, eg LEO to 6667 at 5/- above normal rates.

He reached for it and examined it carefully. This isnt an original part. Its a spare that could be purchased anywhere in Kenya. I see no evidence. Twende. As we headed out of the gate Wanjohi reached over and grabbed Kamau. Well get you for this, Kamau, Wanjohi hissed. He glared at us, too.
