A lot has changed since 2009 though. The judges dont have to write down every word, there are secretaries typing away, everybody speaks into a microphone, every word spoken there is recorded and there is a digital stopwatch in addition to the analogue clock on the wall. In the afternoon, Justice Mutunga advised lawyer Kethi Kilonzo that she need not burden herself with the black gown members of her profession like to wear. The Supreme Court Building is old the foundation stone was laid in 1930 and the institution it hosts has been under constant renewal since August 2010, but the rst hurdle was a physical one. It was clear that the high-powered assembly of lawyers plus the journalists and activists who had converged to witness and report on the historical petition could not all t in the room. Judiciary Registrar Gladys Boss Shollei had to shoo out as many people as she could, saying, as she indicated the gallery: If youre not participating, there is more space up there. She said the judges would not like to have anybody standing in court. Only the lawyers participating could t in the seven benches in the court. Even with every window opened as wide as possible, the heat was still stiing. A good part of the afternoon and early evening was spent arguing about a voluminous 900-page document with an orange cover and a black spine that was an afdavit led by Cord. The lawyers passed it amongst them. The judges will decide today whether it will be admitted. This morning, the lawyers are supposed to agree with the judges on how the 15 hours over the next two days will be split between them. With the events live on television, we have another dramatic week on our hands.

You defy that order at your own peril. Before she interrupted proceedings, the rst bite of the cake had been given to a senior member of the Kenyan Bar, Attorney General Prof Githu Muigai. Prof Muigai introduced two words that trended for some time on social media amicus curiae, Latin for a friend of the court. He was granted his request in the afternoon. Prof Muigai likes to speak with much gravity and not many could suppress their laughter when he took a gentle dig at retired Attorney General Amos Wako, who is now a Senator-elect and part of the Cord legal team. In the past, the Attorney General would be required in court, but he never appeared, he said. Kenya has began another week of waiting to know what direction the presidential contest could take. This will be the second suspenseful week of March. The rst started on March 4 and ended on the afternoon of Saturday March 9 at the Bomas of Kenya. From the decision by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission sprang the proceedings at the highest court in the land. All eyes will be focused on a wood-panelled chamber at the Supreme Court Building in Nairobi. Before the High Court moved to Milimani, that room was one of the places the court was convened. It is the same room in which Justice Muga Apondi ruled in May 2009 that Tom Cholmondeley would spend seven months in jail for the killing of Robert Njoya, a stonemason from Naivasha.

DECISION 2013
PETITION | Judges direct that fresh tallying of results from 22 polling stations be carried out today and results given by tomorrow
more votes cast than registered voters and that the commission inated the voter turn out to favour Mr Kenyatta. The six judges Chief Justice Willy Mutunga, Justices Philip Tunoi, Jackton Ojwang, Mohammed Ibrahim, Smokin Wanjala and Njoki Ndungu began the pretrial hearing with an assurance of justice for all parties. Dr Mutunga, the courts president, said the judges were alive to the competing expectations the people had placed on the six judges and that they were fully prepared physically, intellectually and psychologically for the task. We shall treat the petitions with objectivity and undertake a fair analysis of the evidence, the Constitution and the law. We shall render our judgment without fear or favour, devoid of ill-will or aection towards any cause that is partisan, unconstitutional or illegal, the CJ said. It was a day in which the judges allowed Attorney General Githu Muigai to be enjoined in the petitions, dismissed an application by Law Society of Kenya to be enjoined and postponed the decision of a similar application by Prof Yash Pal Ghai of Katiba Institute to this morning. The AG in his application to be enjoined said the Constitution gives him power to defend public interest. My brief is not to support any side but to oer legal advice and bring experience from other juris-

objections from Mr Odingas lawyer, Mr George Oraro, who said the petitions had not raised any complex legal issue requiring the AGs advice. The judges also allowed the consolidation of the three petitions challenging the presidential elections, ruling that Mr Odingas shall act as the lead le. Although the petition by Mr Moses Kuria raises distinctive legal issues, we are of the view that all be consolidated due to the time constraint, they said. The preliminary hearings became stormy when Mr Kenyattas lawyer, Mr Fred Ngatia, led an application objecting to new evidence presented by Mr Odinga. He submitted that the new 900page adavit had introduced an additional 122 constituencies where Mr Odinga claims the IEBC inated the votes cast without giving them a chance to respond. He asked the court to expunge it from the list of evidences. Question is whether the court should allow new evidence led out of time since there was a specic timeline for ling documents. The petitioner had no courtesy even to ask the courts leave to le the additional adavit, he said. Mr Oraro responded that the law does not limit a party from presenting anything supporting its case and blamed the IEBC for the delay in ling the adavit. What we have done is an analysis of the documents IEBC provided. We discovered that the commission deducted other candidates votes in those constituencies and added to the other. How then can we be denied the chance to prove that 11,000 votes were deducted from Mr Odinga and added to Mr Kenyatta with the new discovered evidence? asked Mr Oraro. Mr Odingas application for a forensic audit of the IEBC electronic system was also met opposition from the lawyers representing Deputy President-Elect William Ruto, IEBC and its chairman Mr Issack Hassan. The judges will give a ruling on the two issues today, as well as on an application by a voter, Mr Isaac Aluochier, who has sued the IEBC for accepting the nominations of ve presidential candidates in the March 4 elections.

MIND GAMES | The people who will be in the glare of the spotlight
Global audience
Ahmednasir Abdullahi The former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) chairman is representing the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Isaack Hassan who is the second respondent in the petition challenging President-elect Uhuru Kenyattas victory. Mr Abdullahi also sits on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and played a critical role in the recruitment of judges of the Supreme Court. He is a senior partner in Ahmednassir, Abdikadir and Company Advocates alongside former Mandera Central MP Abdikadir Mohammed.
Fred Ngatia He is representing Jubilee presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta whose victory in the March 4 election is being challenged by the Cord Alliance. A senior counsel, Mr Ngatia is regarded in legal circles as the guru of judicial review cases. He has been the lawyer for the late Cabinet minister George Saitoti and represented him at the Goldenberg Commission of Inquiry which recommended that the late minister should face criminal charges for his role in the Goldenberg scandal. He is also representing former Kenya Power boss Samuel Gichuru in an extradition case. Aurelio Rebello Veteran lawyer Aurelio Rebello is in the team of lawyers representing the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in the presidential election petition led by Mr Odinga. Mr Rebello is best remembered for representing Mr Kamlesh Pattni in the Sh13.5 billion Goldenberg scandal. Katwa Kigen He is representing Deputy President-elect William Ruto, who is the fourth respondent in the petition seeking to overturn President-elect Uhuru Kenyattas victory in the March 4 election. He was representing radio presenter Joshua Sang, who is Mr Rutos co-accused in the crimes against humanity cases at the International Criminal Court.
George Oraro The lawyer is the lead counsel for the Cord Alliance in the petition challenging President-elect Uhuru Kenyattas victory in the March 4 election. Mr Oraro is one of the most celebrated lawyers in the country with over 30 years experience. He hit the headlines last year after he successfully defended former Cabinet minister Henry Kosgey in a case at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The court threw out the case against Mr Kosgey due to insucient evidence. He also represented the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) at the Goldenberg Commission of Inquiry.
Njoroge Regeru He is the lead lawyer for The National Alliance (TNA) activists Moses Kuria, Dennis Itumbi and Florence Sergon who are challenging the inclusion of spoilt ballots in the calculation of votes attained by each presidential candidate in the March 4 election. Mr Regeru is a seasoned lawyer who mainly specialises in commercial disputes. He is remembered for representing former Director of Intelligence James Kanyotu in the Goldenberg Commission of Inquiry chaired by Justice Samuel Bosire. Mr Kanyotu had been named at the inquiry as one of the two shareholders of Goldenberg International.
Kethi Kilonzo She is representing the African Centre for Open Governance (Africog) in the petition before the Supreme Court. She has represented retired President Daniel Moi in a case in which he was sued alongside the State by former journalist and Alego Usonga MP Otieno MacOnyango for unlawful detention and torture. The court cleared Mr Moi. She also represented immediate former Wajir South MP Mohammed Sirat in an election. A daughter of senior lawyer and Makueni Senator-elect Mutula Kilonzo, Ms Kilonzo is fast emerging as a promising young lawyer, handling landmark cases in the country.
lawyers who did battle at the International Criminal Court defending Kenyans facing crimes against humanity charges arising from the 20078 post-election violence. Some of the lawyers did battle for their clients in the high-profile and engaging Goldenberg Commission proceedings and, later, the attendant court cases that sprouted from its ndings. At some point, AttorneyGeneral Githu Muigai and deputy Solicitor-General Muthoni Kimani are also expected to feature after an application by the AG to be allowed in as amicus curiae (friend of the
court) was yesterday allowed by the Supreme Court. All of them are articulate, battle-hardened litigators who have proved their mettle and can be relied on to eectively handle the high prole case whose outcome is awaited by 40 million Kenyans with bated breath. Though the lead counsel will be charged with actual courtroom engagement, they are not on their own. They are backed by teams of lawyers involved in research. One thing that stands out is that all the parties have chosen homegrown talent, a show of condence in the Kenyan bar.

During the 4.15am raid, the gangsters broke into the house and injured Mr Krulls forehead. He was treated at the Aga Khan Hospital. The gang took away his laptop, mobile phones, electronic gadgets and passport. In yet another attack, a businessman was shot dead at around 8.15pm at a food kiosk in the citys Dandora area. A police report gave his name as a Mr Ngatia. Four men entered Slope Cafe and shot the 35-year-old man, then ran away towards the Gitari Marigu section, says the report.

A woman who owns the house is also in custody. The childrens mother, Ms Lucy Njeri, said she arrived home from work and found her daughters and her Ugandan househelp missing. She had hired the Ugandan two months ago. Ms Njeri said at her home after being re-united with her children yesterday, that she had spent sleepless nights praying in the company of neighbours for the safety of the children. She said she did not know the househelp well and that the woman had been brought by a mason, who had been working on their house.
Sleepless nights
When the kidnappers made the rst call, I was relieved to learn that my children were alive, but when they demanded Sh20 million I told them we could only raise Sh50,000 and asked them to wait as we looked for more money, said Ms Njeri in the company of her husband, Mr Kanyoro Muturi. She said police advised them not to send the money since they were tracking down the abductors. Mr Kirui and criminal investigations ocer Joseph Murithi said one of the suspects in police custody was a jailbird who left prison recently. He cautioned Kenyans to vet persons seeking employment as househelps because some of them were accomplices of criminals. Mr Kirui said police were looking for two more suspects in connection with the twins abduction.

BUSIA
Finished vetting
In view of the fact that the matter is ready for hearing, it is important that the court preserves the status quo to satisfy itself of the legality of the selection and nomination, a three-judge bench ruled yesterday. The judges declined to extend the order to the Senate and National Assembly as the names had already been gazetted on March 20. THE ACCUSATION
Upon such gazettement, they became members of the respective Houses of Parliament, Justice Isaac Lenaola said on behalf of the bench. The judges said those nominated to the Senate and National Assembly can only be challenged through an election petition. The gender commission had sought an order stopping the IEBC from gazetting nomination lists for the National Assembly, Senate and County Assemblies. The commission says the IEBC failed to perform its duty of supervising political party elections to ll the special seats. The IEBC, however, argued that it complied with the Constitution by setting guidelines for the generation of party lists. It said ultimate responsibility for the generation of those lists was with the political parties.

Mr Kilukumi agreed: It is not just a matter of clarity, we simply cannot hear what is recorded in that tape.

he National Lands Commission, which was set up recently, has raised issues about its stang. The chairman, Dr Mohammed Swazuri, has said that the commission will vet employees seconded to it by the Ministry of Lands, which has the dubious distinction of being a haven of graft. Suspect land allocations, issuance of fake title deeds and shadowy deals thrive at the ministry. This was the reason why the commission was set up in the rst place. The ministry had failed in its mandate, hence the need for an independent institution to eectively handle land matters. The commission has wide ranging powers, including managing public land on behalf of national and county governments, and addressing historical injustices arising from land tenure. A new institution like this requires fresh ideas that cannot come from those who are entrenched in the old and corrupt way of doing things. Certainly, it requires experienced people and the obvious source would be the Ministry of Lands. But those seconded to it must be vetted. The commission must start on a fresh slate and that means avoiding recycling old structures and systems.
ith all the dark and depressing politics that refuses to go away, Kenyans enjoyed a weekend of sunshine, courtesy of great sporting performances on the world stage. The Kenya rugby team reached the semi-nals of the Hong Kong leg of the IRB Sevens, besting powerhouses such as South Africa, England, Australia, France and Samoa. The national football team, Harambee Stars, usually has much to be modest about, but in the dusty Nigerian city of Calabar, our boys deed the bookies to hold the fabled African champions to a 11 draw. That was a stellar performance against a team that usually humiliates us on their home soil, and most signicant was that Kenya was heading for an improbable victory before the hosts snatched a late equaliser in the dying seconds of extra time. We proved that Kenya is formidable in more than just Twitter wars and that now famous #someonetell nigeria hashtag. And then onto Poland.

Power sometimes does strange things to people. In Mr Kariuki we are not now seeing the aable and communicator who could sell truckloads of Tusker Lager to the Temperance Movement, but a perpetually angry spokesman who wants to forcefully ram stu down our throats instead of applying tact and persuasion. I dont know why I see in the new Mr Kariuki a reincarnation of the Shari Nassirs, Kariuki Chotaras and other self-appointed Nyayometers of the repressive Moi kleptocracy. Or, going further back, the Kihika Kimanis and other bullies of the Kenyatta era. I cant for the life of me gure out why a generally likeable chap can transmogrify in such a radical fashion. At this time of transition, I can only surmise that many in government are hedging their bets on a new administration that may come into power; one that reverses time to the repressive and dictatorial ways where warnings and threats were the preferred modes of governance. And those who failed to toe the straight and narrow path, naturally, were ushered into the aptly-named Nyayo House torture chambers. [email protected]
s governors prepare to take oce this week, they will have to confront and address a wide range of management issues. First, the transition is the critical period between the election and inauguration, when the focus shifts abruptly from campaigning to governing. To get ready to govern, the governors-elect must first organise a transition team to coordinate and implement the transition. The governorselect must also determine their roles in the transition and with the transition team, including involvement in critical activities and decisions, such as appointments and budgets. Competent and loyal personnel are key to governors ability to lead and manage county governments. The recruitment and selection of gubernatorial sta and appointments to Cabinet positions will largely determine the success of governors and their administrations. Members of the governors sta should have several attributes in common, including loyalty to the governor, competence in their areas of responsibility, political acumen, and dedication to service besides the personal and professional qualities that warrant their appointment to these important positions. Yet well-qualied sta do not necessarily make a good team. Building an effective team
Governors must hire right teams and push appropriate policies to transform counties A
strategy can help build public confidence in government , increase the publics attention to issues and galvanise support for the governors agenda. The governor must organise an effective policy apparatus that helps refine his or her vision, lays out the options for action and devises a strategy for communicating intentions and results. Under a variety of labels and initiatives, governors will be working to initiate a culture of county government which should be a high-performance workplace. The bottom line is to help make government services simpler, faster and more costeective. There is no cookbook of recipes from which a governor can choose to improve service quality. Approaches can and should be tailored to fit the experiences, challenges and management philosophy of each governor. From the lessons learned from State governments in the USA, governors who have pioneered major quality initiatives, the most critical factors for success include: Ensuring the governors personal commitment and involvement; establishing partnerships with key stakeholders; using structures to help steer and support the enterprise; building early successes and rewarding them; developing capacity within and focusing on results.

takes time and eort from the team leader as well as the team members. An immediate challenge for new governors is to convert the promise of the campaign platform into a working set of policies for the county. Finding a way to put the incoming governors imprints on existing policy is part of the job. More important is the task of translating the governors mandate from the voters into a framework for action. Governors face important challenges as they attempt to build awareness and acceptance of their agenda. They need to crystallise what that agenda should be and how they will pursue the dissemination of their message. An eective communications
The governors primary role in all matters of governance is leadership including the improvement of the quality of service. In launching or expanding a quality initiative, the governor must want to do it and must be involved in the process. To sustain these eorts, the governors commitment must be real and reinforced by words and deeds. This requires far more than lip service or photo opportunities or occasional accolades. It requires a fundamental commitment to core values in how the business of government gets done. Successful executives, including governors, focus on results. This means identifying goals and desired outcomes, providing the tools needed to achieve results, holding people accountable for results, measuring progress as best as possible and staying focused. If the bottom line for improving service quality is to help make government services simpler, faster and more costeective, then this indeed is a formidable undertaking. Transforming county government into a highperformance workplace is an enormous challenge, but impressive results await those who stick with it.

nation-state interests and pressure from competing global interests. The Washington consensus paradigm on unconditional markets that shaped globalisation is now competing with the push for governed markets. Countries from the South that were mostly recipients of policy prescriptions from the North are angling for the reform of international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the World Trade Organisation and the United Nations. The recalibration of global powers that have dominated Africas worldview for centuries is a scenario Africans must prepare for. The ongoing global policy changes are likely to open up space for a more democratic global governance system in international nancial institutions, justice systems (as in the International Criminal Court), trade and security. Africa must rethink the proposition that
it is in a global village (a low risk space) and wake up to the reality that it is in a global jungle or high risk space. The continuous erosion of national sovereignty by global issues such as migration, climate change, energy security, maritime pollution and international trading systems, among others, further makes it urgent for African countries to rethink confronting the world as individual entities. To the Kenyan political elite and Africas in general oscillating between global power interests does little to prepare a generation that can seek to increase productivity; it instead yields a middle class keen on consumerism. The culture of seeking refuge in new systems without trying to evolve Africas own is what has made the continent an underdog for centuries. This is not the time for Africans to play East and West; it is time to invest in skills and navigation tools to tap from both. President Xi Jinpings visit should inspire all Africans to reect on the wisdom of Kwame Nkrumah, Ghanas founding president, who once said: We face neither East nor West; we face forward.

Consider family values in advertising condom
Kenya declared HIV/AIDS a national disaster in 1999. Since then, we have witnessed an upsurge in behaviour change campaigns to prevent the disease from causing future destruction on the economy. Most campaigns have given limited attention to contextual and structural barriers that prevent communities from accessing HIV information and services, such as religious beliefs. I want to reect on the ongoing discussion on the advertisement Weka Condom Mpangoni. The fact still remain that married couples are becoming more at risk because of indelity and mistrust (NASCOP reports on HIV 2011). NANDOYA S. ERICK, Siaya Kudos to the National Aids Control Council for calling a spade a spade not a big spoon. Truth should set us free; our morals have decayed and the earlier we admit it the better. A sick person must accept he or she is sick for the doctor to prescribe any medication. Listening to the Breakfast Show on Classic 105 with Maina Kageni, it is clear mipangos are there, and married couples are cheating on each other. Sad truth is, less than a quarter use condoms. The Church should stop their hypocrisy. Some of the church leaders are also part of the problem. Accepting our weakness is vital for our cure so as to save future generations from this AIDS monster. Since Kenyans cannot do without extra-marital aairs NACC is simply asking them to at least protecting themselves while at it. AUSTIN ADRIANS, Nairobi

Recently the story of a Nakuru dumpsite, Giotto, with no borders was all over the news. That saw a temporary remedy by the relevant authorities but with time all things have gone back to the same old script. JAMES WAKIBIA, Nakuru LOUD PROTESTS: Activist Nazlin Omars protests at the Supreme Courts proceedings to have her case heard is the ultimate show of ignorance of the law. Any case led in a court is always assigned a hearing date. Its therefore unbecoming for anyone to make loud demands for their case to be heard, however urgent. Kenyans gradually restored their faith in the Judiciary and have the patience to wait for their cases to be heard, so its only right that the high and mighty show similar condence. NKONGE MOREEN, Maseno ETHNIC HATRED: In retrospect, I noticed in the piece by Jane Thomas (Nation, March 25) the Kenyan attitude of sweeping things under the carpet. The problem with waiting for the social media hate to zzle out is that it would not address the real underlining issues. What it would do is to suspend the same. Just like the 2007-2008 post-election skirmishes, the real problem was not the bungled elections. The announcement of the election results only triggered the intrinsic hatred that existed long before the elections. Currently, the hate messages only show what lies underneath the Kenyan people.

the requirement for extinguishers does not apply to residences. A better policy would have been to require businesses to take out insurance against fire while encouraging city dwellers to install re extinguishers in their houses. Ive seen water vending bowsers extinguish re. Equipping a tanker with a water pump is not rocket science and we can easily have these trucks in all the satellite centres. Who said we cant improvise? Some by laws are inappropriate. For example at the Karen shopping centre, there is no public toilet. What justication is there for arresting someone who uses the roadside as a toilet in Karen?

ake Victoria faces an ecological disaster if dry hyacinth weed is left to sink and rot in the lake, researchers have warned. Kenya Medical Fisheries Research Institute (Kemfri) experts yesterday said if the weed sunk, aquatic life would be at risk. Several species of sh in the lake, especially the much cherished Nile perch, tilapia and small sh (omena) that cannot survive in water with low oxygen concentration might be completely wiped out, said Kemfri lead scientist Ojwang Oweke. Mud sh, locally known as kamongo and catsh, locally called mumi, are among the species that can survive in water with low oxygen concentration.

as the majority white Americans. With a population of less than 15 per cent, it was impossible for African Americans to use democracy to correct such injustices. However, the Supreme Court of America, in 1954, went against the majority sentiment and express provisions of State laws and popular culture to reverse the segregation laws in place to literally make a new law banning segregation in public schools. It took the help of the military to enforce this counter majoritarian decision. The merits of the Supreme Court being counter majoritarian in this case are obvious today. Second. A representative reinforcement Judiciary on the other hand, would not have passed a decision like Brown vs Board of Education. The classic case of a strong representative reinforcement Judiciary pandering to public opinion is best illustrated by the United States Supreme Court decision in Koramatsu vs United States.

minority group that is however extremely powerful shows the dilemma and paradox of the judicial arm. A digression here. Under the Companies Act in Kenya, four types of companies exist, namely companies limited by shares, companies limited by guarantees, unlimited companies and representative companies. For the purpose of this narrative, societies such as the Law Society of Kenya will also fall within this discussion. In law, companies and societies share some characteristics with human beings. Like human beings, companies can be sued and sue in their respective capacities. They can open bank accounts and transact in shares at the Securities Exchange and engage in business transactions just like people. Moreover, companies, like humans, can form unions to safeguard and promote their interests. The Kenya Bankers Association is an example. In addition, like citizens, companies pay tax and indeed form the bulk of tax revenues for many countries. Non-human persons are articial persons, while human beings are natural persons. In most Common Law states, the concept of articial and natural persons is pretty much an accepted legal phenomenon. But do articial persons have the right to inuence natural persons in exercising civic and constitutional obligations that only accrue to natural persons? Considering that articial persons are a minority compared to natural persons globally, do articial persons have the right to inuence an election outcome? Third. A turn to the US and the nal Supreme Court case illustrating counter majoritarian and representative reinforcement dilemma in this narrative. Like in Kenya, articial persons in the US are a minority. Large corporations in particular are in a minority albeit with enormous economic power. In Citizens United v Federal Election Commission, the US Supreme Court in 2010 made a decision that strengthened the power and say of an already powerful minority group. Indeed for articial persons, it can be argued that a past injustice was being corrected; articial persons were nally being granted the right to free speech. In that case, the US Supreme Court held that the American Constitution barred the government from restricting political campaigning by articial persons. To put it in context, picture Safaricom or Kenya Breweries arguing in court that as tax paying persons,
Can the court, for both the good of the country nudge it in the right direction while in fact negating popular will?

In this case, a popularly supported imprisonment and internment of Japanese-Americans was upheld by the Supreme Court. During the Second World War where Japan and the US were on opposing sides, the US government ordered Asian Americans of Japanese descent in America into relocation camps fearing that Japanese Americans were not loyal to the war effort and Americas position. Japanese Americans were not only a minority in the country, but nationalist rhetoric and sentiment was strongly in favour of any action that would seem to support the American war eort. As a result, hundreds of Japanese Americans were interned in what were nothing dierent from concentration camps in Germany with the full approval of the Supreme Court. The court reinforced public opinion and representation (the internment was ordered by the Executive). Fast forward to the 21st century. A ground-breaking decision by the Supreme Court protecting a
they have the right to actively participate in the electoral process by supporting candidates they deem best suited and attuned to the business climate in the country. If the two were joined by the dominant media companies in Kenya (who are also articial persons), it would be an uphill task for any other candidate to win an election in Kenya. But artificial persons have rights too. In this case, the US Supreme Court held that by denying articial persons the right to participate in the electoral process, the government was breaching their constitutional right to free speech. For millions of employees, shareholders and business entities in the US, this was a welcome move. The input by articial persons in the development and power of the US cannot be gainsaid. Think Google, IBM, Lockheed Martin, CNN and you get the picture. For others, this was unacceptable. To go ahead and give articial persons controlled by natural persons more control over the lives of natural persons who form a majority was unconscionable. These examples seek to illustrate the unique position of the judicial arm. An arm with immense powers rightly so this unelected arm of government has overreaching power over the will of Kenyan citizens. This month, an unelected arm of Kenyas government is set to decide an electoral dispute set to put into place another powerful but elected arm of government in place the Executive. Depending on where one falls on the political spectrum, the rst Kenyan Supreme Court will either be dened as counter majoritarian or representative reinforcement. For the Supreme Court, the denition is in its power. It will be determining whether the IEBC returns were the majoritys opinion and good to go, or that irregularities existed denying a people their democratic right.

Xi Jinping is on his rst foreign trip since being anointed president 11 days ago
hinas new President Xi Jinping hailed today the strength of ties with African nations, in a keynote speech on his rst trip as head of state to the continent. Hailing resource-rich Africa as a continent of hope and promise, Mr Xi addressed leaders in Tanzanias economic capital as my dear friends and spoke of Beijings sincere friendship with Africa. Africa belongs to the African people, Mr Xi said, speaking in a new conference hall built by China. In developing relations with Africa, all countries should respect Africas dignity and independence. Trade between China and Africa reached some $200 billion last year, he said, adding that China would intensify not weaken its relationship and noting a committment to provide a $20 billion credit-line to African nations over the next two years. Whenever I come to Africa two things always strike me the most, one is the continuous progress... I am deeply impressed at the new developments, Xi said, on his sixth visit to the continent. The other is your overwhelming warmth, the sincere friendship of the
African people towards the Chinese people is as warm and unforgettable as the sunshine in Africa. Mr Xi and his Tanzanian counterpart Jakaya Kikwete signed 16 trade, cultural and development accords after his arrival in Tanzania on Sunday, including improvements to hospitals and ports, and the building of a Chinese cultural centre. China is the second-largest foreign investor in Tanzania, with stakes in agriculture, coal, iron ore and infrastructure. We have no doubt that the people of China will continue to work with the people of Africa, Kikwete said, dismissing those who still feared Beijings role despite the end of the Cold War. CEMENTING TIES
So far, China has been a dependable supporter and an ally of African countries and other Third World countries...in their appeal for a just and equitable world economic order, Mr Kikwete added. Tanzania, where Mr Xi arrived from after a visit to Moscow, was the rst stop of a three-nation Africa tour that underscores Beijings growing presence on the continent. Chinas first contacts with Africa came with the sea voyages of Zheng He, a Chinese Muslim admiral who led expeditions to the east African coast in the 1400s, but little followed for centuries. Mr Xi, on his rst foreign trip since being anointed president 11 days ago, later left Tanzania for South Africa, where he rst
visits Pretoria, before heading to Durban to join an emerging economies summit. He wraps up the African tour with a visit to CongoBrazzaville. China, which has risen to become the worlds secondlargest economy, sources many of its raw materials from Africa. A new Chinese diaspora has seen huge numbers of traders and small business operators establish themselves across the continent, which has higher growth rates than Europe or the United States. Chinese imports from Africa soared 20-fold in a decade to reach $113 billion last year, according to Chinese government statistics, and China became the continents largest trading partner in 2009. But Chinas presence in Africa has also been accompanied by periodic tensions, and Xi sought to smooth over those who criticise Beijings role on the continent, noting that there is no one size ts all development model in the world. We each view the others development as our own opportunity, and we each seek to promote the others development and prosperity, Mr Xi added.

Rupiah Banda is out on bail and is due to appear today as he is accused of theft
BY MICHAEL CHAWE
NATION Correspondent and Agencies LUSAKA, Monday
ambian authorities today arrested and charged former President Rupiah Banda in connection with the procurement of an oil deal worth $2.5million. President Rupiah Banda has been formally charged and arrested in connection with the procurement of oil which did not benet the country, Namukolo Kasumpa, a spokeswoman for government investigators, told reporters. He was immediately freed on bail and is due to appear in court on Tuesday. The arrest came after parliament earlier this month lifted Bandas immunity. The former leader who ruled Zambia between 2008 and 2011 was promptly questioned about al-
witnesses that they are going to bring but we know he is innocent, he said. Appearing exhausted after three hours of questioning by a special government probe unit, 76-year-old Banda told reporters: Naturally I would have been happy to be sitting at home but I have to go through this. Mr Satas government says Banda engaged in corrupt activities in the procurement of crude oil from a Nigerian rm, listed as the Nigerian National Oil Company in ocial documents. Nigerias state oil outt is known as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). He is also accused of funnelling taxpayer cash into his election campaigns. Since Sata came to power he has rolled out an anti-corruption drive that some have seen as a move to silence dissenting views. Bandas lawyers last week petitioned the regional South African Development Community (SADC) over the unlawful and inhumane events taking place in Zambia.

Meanwhile, South Africa said 13 of its soldiers were killed and 27 wounded in the weekend ghting in Bangui the countrys heaviest military loss since the end of the apartheid era. As a member of the African Union, South Africa rejects any efforts to seize power by force, President Jacob Zuma told reporters, adding that there were no immediate plans to withdraw troops deployed alongside the weak national army. South Africa deployed 200 soldiers to the Central African Republic in January to support government troops. The African Union took swift action amid international concern about the deteriorating security situation in the deeply unstable former French colony, a poor and landlocked nation with unexploited mineral wealth.

MESSAGE FROM DIRECTORS The high interest rate environment prevailing during the period adversely impacted the 2012 results. The Bank paid high market rates on deposits but chose to cushion its borrowers by not passing the entire increase in the cost of funds onto the lending portfolio. The high rates also depressed lending volumes in the Banks significant retail portfolio. Expenses also grew on the back of significant investments in the year in new branches, new products, upgrade of the entire technology platform and inflationary pressures on the general cost base. DIVIDEND 1. The Directors are pleased to announce a dividend of Kshs 0.075 per share (1.5%) to preference shareholders. 2. The Directors have resolved to recommend to the forthcoming Annual General Meeting a first and final dividend of Kshs 0.20 per share to ordinary and participating preference shareholders. The dividend will be payable on or about 7th June 2013 to shareholders on register at close of business on 25th April 2013. The register will remain closed on 26th April 2013 for preparation of dividend warrants. CONSOLIDATION Consolidated financial statements have not been prepared as the results and net assets of the subsidiaries are not material.

Mugabe remains among 10 still targeted by an EU travel ban and assets freeze
BY KITSEPILE NYATHI
NATION CORRESPONDENT and Agencies HARARE, Monday
81
The number of individuals the 27-nation bloc hasd agreed to immediately suspend restrictive measures against.
he European Union today suspended most of its sanctions against Zimbabwe following a peaceful, successful and credible referendum on a new constitution earlier this month. However, 89-year old President Robert Mugabe remained among 10 Zimbabweans still targeted by an EU travel ban and assets freeze, a European diplomat said on condition of anonymity. An EU statement welcoming the March 16 referendum said the 27-nation bloc had agreed to immediately suspend restrictive measures against 81 people on a 91-name list as well as eight of 10 rms or utilities also blacklisted. The EU congratulates the people of Zimbabwe on a peaceful, successful and credible vote to approve a new constitution, a statement said, adding that this represents a signicant step towards general elections. Elections to end a shaky unity government formed four years ago between Mugabe and his rival Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai are expected later this year, with Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa calling for polls before the end of June. Details on those who remain on the list would be released in the next few days, said the source, who added that the controversial mining rm, the Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation, too remained on the EU blacklist.
NGOs and diplomats claim the state-owned ZMDC, a major diamond and gold mining company which operates ve diamond mines in the controversial Marange elds, was channelling money to the Mugabes ZANU-PF. The targeted sanctions were rst imposed in 2002 with the EU citing political violence, human rights abuses and the failure to hold free and fair elections in the southern African nation. Meanwhile, a Zimbabwe High Court judge today granted $500 bail to a prominent human rights lawyer who was arrested last week for allegedly shouting at police ocers during the arrest of four aides of Prime Minister Tsvangirai. High Court judge Joseph Musakwa overturned a ruling by a Harare magistrate denying Ms Beatrice Mtetwa bail last week. The lawyers arrest sparked protests from human rights activists and fellow lawyers who say she is being persecuted for defending President Robert Mugabes opponents. Mr Tsvangirais aides were arrested for spearheading investigations into allegations that ministers from the veteran rulers Zanu PF party were involved in corrupt deals. Their bail hearing is expected on Tuesday. Police had ignored another High Court judgment issued last Sunday ordering them to set Ms Mtetwa free. She was taken to court the following day and was denied bail by a magistrate who said the lawyer was facing serious charges.

ebels won Syrias long-vacant seat at the Arab League today, on the eve of the organisations summit in Doha, despite rifts within the opposition that have marred their political gains. A high-ranking League ocial in the Qatari capital told AFP that the opposition National Council has been invited to the Arab summit and will occupy Syrias seat at the 22-member Arab League. Damascus reacted with fury at the announcement. The League has handed Syrias stolen seat to bandits and thugs, Syrian ocial daily Al-Thawra said. They have forgotten that it is the people who grant the powers and not the emirs of obscurantism and sand, it said, in an apparent reference
to key opposition supporters Qatar and Saudi Arabia. A state television station said: Qatar wants to bypass the rules of the Arab League by giving the seat of a founding member of the League to a coalition that obeys only the money and fuel of the Gulf and submits to American dictates. The news came a day after National Coalition leader Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib announced his resignation, throwing the fragmented opposition into disarray and denting its credibility. However, Khatib said he will address the summit in the name of the Syrian people, while the Coalitions envoy to Doha, Nizar al-Haraki, told AFP that Khatib will head the delegation representing Syria on Tuesday. I have decided to make
22
a speech in the name of the Syrian people at the Doha summit, Khatib announced in a statement on his Facebook page, saying he took his decision after prayers and consulting friends. This is not linked to the resignation which will be later discussed, he added. The coalition has said it refuses Khatibs resignation. Haraki told AFP that Khatib will head the eightmember Syrian delegation at the summit and will occupy Syrias seat. The delegation will include Syrias rst rebel prime minister, Ghassan Hitto. The Arab League on March 6 called on the coalition to form an executive body to take up Syrias seat and attend the summit, although Iraq and Algeria have expressed reservations, while Lebanon has distanced itself from the decision. The League in November 2011 suspended Syria after Damascus failed to implement an Arab deal designed to end violence against protesters. (AFP)

The date in February the camera was found.
nigmatic in death as in life, Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky has left a swirl of mystery after his passing, including a letter reportedly begging President Vladimir Putin for forgiveness. The exiled businessman and former Kremlin powerbroker, who won asylum in Britain after falling out with Mr Putin and being convicted in absentia, was found dead at his Berkshire home at the weekend in circumstances that have yet to be made clear. Russias press on Monday leapt at the chance of publishing the wildest conspiracy theories, ranging from an assassination by MI5 to even a staged death that left the real Berezovsky still alive. Friends have suggested he was depressed over a costly court loss against fellow oligarch Roman Abramovich and personal trouble, pointing to suicide as a possible though unconrmed explanation. Berezovsky made a mystery even of his death, said the mass circulation Komsomolskaya Pravda in allusion to his reputation from the 1990s as the shadowy grey cardinal of Kremlin politics. It seemed he liked blurring the boundary between truth and mystication, the business daily Vedomosti said, describing him as a Faust or
Frankenstein who became a King Lear. A journalist for Forbes Russia magazine who spoke to Berezovsky last week said the fallen oligarch had told the magazine that life had lost meaning. Adding to the intrigue was the apparent existence of a letter which Vladimir Putins spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Berezovsky (pictured below) had sent to the Russian president asking for forgiveness. Mr Peskov told the Interfax news agency that the letter was a personal one. He also told TV Rain that the exiled oligarch had passed it on via a third party who he did not name. The editor in chief of RT television, Margarita Simonyan, a key gure in Kremlin media circles, said on her television talk show on Sunday night that a gure close to Mr Putin had read out the letter to her. She said that person, who she did not name, described the letter as a prayer for returning to Russia. I committed many mistakes, I understand how hard it is to forgive me, but I had got confused and I beg for forgiveness, the person cited the letter as saying, Ms Simonyan said. (AFP)

Executives seek free movement of EA workers
Private sector players say the current limitations have blocked regional expansion
BY CHARLES WOKABI
[email protected] usiness executives in the services industry from the East African Community want legal provisions hampering movement of workers across the member states removed. In a workshop held in Tanzania last week, the private sector players, under the East African Business Council (EABC) and the East African Professional Services Platform, pushed for the community to separate partner states commitments to the free movement of services from their commitments to the free movement of workers across the region. The business council, in a position paper submitted to the East African Community secretary general Richard Sezibera on Friday, said linking the two issues adds confusion rather than clarity to the commitments by partner states under the Common Market Protocol. The issue of concern to business is that the current impasse in implementing services commitments on account of the articial linkage between movement of services suppliers and the movement of workers is preventing the private sector from taking advantage of the opportunities created by the Common Market protocol, EABC executive director Andrew Luzze said. The workshop was attended by players in the services sector, including banking, engineering, tourism, clearing and forwarding, hospitality and health care from all the five East African Community member states. The executives said that the current limitations in the free movement of workers across the member states had blocked regional expansion and made it hard for companies to operate seamlessly across borders. In some circumstances, a service provider may need to send some of the companys personnel with specialist skills from its principal place of business in the EAC to another partner state on a short-term basis to supply services under a short contract, the position paper states. Players in the private sector further said that he limitations in the free movement of workers was contrary to the aim of the Common Market Protocol, which, they said, seeks to establish key freedoms that form the basis for a common market, including free movement of workers, services and service suppliers. According to the workshops submission, market access for key personnel such as managers or specialists has been made subject to the rules for free movement of workers rather than being part of a package of conditions granted to service suppliers. The position paper is set to be discussed further in an ongoing technical meeting in Nairobi to review implementation of the Common Market Protocol.

2002
The year when the process of developing regional competition regulations started.
ice farmers at Bunyala Irrigation Scheme in Busia County risk losing millions of shillings due to poor storage and lack of a ready market. In an interview with the Nation, the area National Irrigation Board manager, Mr Joel Tanui, said farmers were likely to incur signicant losses of their bumper harvest if the situation persisted. Continuous rainfall in the region has caused panic among the farmers who fear that, with limited storage space, they may lose their produce in case the area oods.
Quality seeds
We fear that the farmers may incur massive losses in case the region experiences ooding like in 2011 when several thousand bags of rice went to waste, Mr Tanui said. The farmers have so far harvested more than 20,000 bags out of the 60,000 expected at the end of the season, with only 6,000 bags having been sold. We are likely to face a major problem if the issue is not addressed as a matter of urgency because farmers need to sell the produce which they have heavily invested in, Mr
Urgent solution
We are likely to face a major problem if the issue is not addressed urgently,
National Irrigation Board manager Joel Tanui

NEGOTIATIONS | President battles for 12 hours with currency partners and the IMF
he eurozone struck a deadline-day deal with Cyprus today to resurrect a bailout for its government but only after a radical downsizing of the Mediterranean islands Russianfuelled nancial sector. Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades battled for 12 hours with currency partners and the IMF, but let one banking chain go to the wall and left major investors in the islands biggest bank take a giant hit. However, no one could say when banks on Cyprus already shut for a 10th day would reopen, or when restrictions on cash withdrawals and other capital controls would be eased. They had been scheduled to reopen tomorrow. Anastasiades said he was content with the deal. And the head of the Eurogroup of nance ministers, Mr Jeroen Dijsselbloem of the Netherlands, insisted:
CHALLENGES
a much better outcome, said Dijsselbloem. Key details of the deal remained sketchy, with EU and IMF ocials working out the likely percentage levels over the coming weeks. Bail-out bosses could not put a gure on that, Dijsselbloem said. The nal bailout will also involve a Cypriot government austerity programme. (AFP)

PROJECT | Bid to end trac jams
BRIEFLY
MOMBASA
KISUMU
key road in Mombasa is to be expanded to ease trac jam on the link from the island to the Northern mainland. Consultants were working on the design to expand Makupa Causeway, Kenya National Highways Authority (KenHA) director general Meshack Kidenda said yesterday. Mr Kidenda said the authority would incorporate several line ministries and parastatals to ensure that work starts soon. We hope the lanes will be expanded from Makupa to Mariakani as a permanent solution to traffic jams in Mombasa town which is now experiencing heavy trac jam, he said.
Causeway at Kibarani was expected to recommend how to deal with those who have built on road reserves. Apart from working on how to create room for the expansion, we are also coming up with ways to end overloading of trucks as that had also contributed to the congestion, the KenHA boss said. The causeway is a class A road and should have a width of at least 60 metres as opposed to the current 24 metres, according to Mr Kidenda.

Woods returns to top of the board for the rst time since October 2010
ORLANDO, Florida iger Woods returned to the top of the world rankings for the rst time since October 2010 after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational by two strokes yesterday. The 37-year-old had played two holes of his nal round when a torrential storm ended proceedings in Florida on Sunday. Resuming with a three-stroke lead he added four more birdies and dropped three shots in a 70 for a 13-under-par total, his third PGA victory of 2013. Englands world number ve Justin Rose also carded a 70 to nish second. It was a sixth title in his last 20 starts on the PGA Tour for Woods, his 77th in total and the eighth time he has won the Bay Hill tournament.
Rickie Fowler moved to within two shots of Woods with four holes remaining but dropped four strokes in the next two holes, including a triple-bogey eight at the 16th, when he put two shots into the water. Woods, who leaked several tee shots to the right, was in the large fairway bunker at the 16th, from where he found the water
on Friday, but struck a majestic escape into the heart of the green and calmly two-putted for a birdie. Recorded four birdies Rose, who was at the top of the leaderboard on the first two rounds before dropping back with a 72 on Saturday resumed four shots adrift with 16 holes of his nal round remaining. He dropped a shot at his rst hole of the day and at the third, but recorded four birdies, ensuring sole possession of second with an assured up and down from the greenside bunker at the par-three 17th. I play well here, its as simple as it gets, said Woods, number one for the 11th time. Im very pleased with the way Im playing. (BBC Sport)

2013 WORLD CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS | Squad claims easy victory in Poland
Bydgoszcz Japhet Korir was blithely unaware that he had become the youngest ever senior mens champion in the history of the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, when he triumphed in the Polish city of Bydgoszcz on Sunday. Oh really? was his underwhelmed answer when informed of the fact. However, when you consider the list of past senior mens champions in the last 40 years - as IAAF President Lamine Diack called it on Sunday: a roll call of long distance running greats - a list that includes names like Stewart, Lopes, Ngugi, Skah, Sigei and Bekele, then you realize that it is quite a feat. At 19 years and 266 days, Korir beat the former record for being a prodigious talent, which had be held by no less a gure than the aforementioned Kenenisa Bekele after his win in the now defunct short course race in 2002, by 17 days. However, Korir was lucky to be on the starting line in Bydgoszcz at all. Kenyan selectors mulled over whether he was worth bringing to Poland after his sixth place at their own trials last month. However, his form in training in the last four weeks convinced them that it was a gamble worth making and it paid o handsomely. On a day when other Kenyas other medal hopes in the senior mens race metaphorically and literally froze, he became his nations fth champion. I was spiked during the Kenyan trails in 5000m for the IAAF World Junior Championships last year and I had a very bad injury with my Achilles, revealed Korir, who limped home eighth in that race in Nairobi and stayed at home nursing his ankle instead of battling with Ethiopias eventual gold medallist Muktar Edris for the title in Barcelona Finished sixth in trials Look, he demonstrated, quite happy to pull down his socks and show a nasty scar that still glowed through the Bydgoszcz mud that was still caked around his legs. I had to spend some time in hospital and I was worried about how it was going to aect my running but then I started training again and slowly regained my form. Before coming here (to Bydgoszcz), I only had two races since the injury. One was a local race in Kenya and the other was the Kenyan trials. However, once I nished sixth in Nairobi and started training for the World (Cross Country) Championships, I trained very hard and I think people saw that I was in good shape. Call it was you will, naivety, inexperience, youth or just simply exuberant talent, but Korir never seemed to be overawed by his surroundings despite there being only three younger men among the 102 runners on the start line of the race. He did not even look unduly concerned by the sight of Ethiopias defending champion Imane Merga. (IAAF.org)
After sweeping the board in Poland, stars train sights on the next big stage for more glory
BY AYUMBA AYODI

IN BYDGOSZCZ, POLAND
enyas world-beating team returns home today from the World Cross Country Championships in Poland where it scooped ve individual and two team titles. And as the team savours glory, focus will shift to the IAAF World Championships this August in Moscow, Russia. The triumphant athletes were due to leave Warsaw, Poland at 3pm yesterday for a stop-over in Dubai where they would take another flight at 9.50am today before arriving in Nairobi after ve and half hours. Unlike in 2010 where Kenya was represented in the championships by experienced athletes such as Vivian Cheruiyot and Linet Masai, who swept to a 1-2, this years squad was relatively new. Also missing the Poland action were Geoffrey Kipsang and Mark Kiptoo. The team had to endure adverse weather conditions in Poland, including snow and temperatures as low as -3 degrees Celsius. It was simply inspiring for Japheth Korir, who had been dropped from the nal team only to be recalled just before he boarded a bus back to Kericho. From a bronze medal finish in 2010, Korir, who turns 20 on June 30, reigned supreme in senior mens 12km race to become the youngster ever winner in the category. History repeated itself when Emily Chebet battled a heel injury to recapture the senior womens title she won at the same course in 2010. The lioness in Chebet did it in amboyant style, as she launched a vicious attack, slicing the 100m gap set by Ethiopian Hiwot Ayelew at the Myslecinek Park course to win. Just like Chebet,
world junior 1,500m champion Faith Chepngetich, who is the only other Kenyan woman to capture the world cross title twice did it in fashion as well. Running in her last junior event, Chepngetich orchestrated a 1-2 nish with Agnes Chebet. Things looked tough for junior men who had no international experience with little known Leonard Barsaton losing to Ethiopian Hagos Gebrhiwet. Both Korir and Chebet won US$ 30,000 (Sh2.6m) while the senior womens team pocketed US$ 20,000 (Sh1.7m). Senior mens team that nished third after Ethiopia and USA got US$12,000 (Sh1.044m). Head coach Sammy Rono, who was making he debut at the World Cross is happy with the performance despite awful course that got the better of some of his charges. Proud of athletes This is my rst time with a cross country team and I am excited with the performance. I am proud of the athletes for displaying a good ghting spirit despite the adverse weather conditions, said Rono. This is a course that can make newcomers quit. It was strange and needless for the course creators to put obstacles at downhill. Rono said he was worried at one point that he could miss out on team placing in the 12km race after Jonathan Muia Ndiku fell o with an injury as Korir tumbled on a downhill obstacle to fall before raising to storm to victory. We had dropped him but a stich in time no doubt saved nine for us as we brought him back to the team immediately, Rono explained. Rono said he had confident in Chebet and Chepngetich right from the national trials. I knew we were right in business when Chebets injury showed great improvement, Rono said. He added: I literary smiled after three-time champion, Tirunesh Dibaba, stayed away. I knew Chebet would be home and dry. Indeed she ran like a machine to leave Ayelew choking in ice.

UNBEATABLE | We know what will be at stake this year and Kenya will be on the lips of everyone
IN BYDGOSZCZ, POLAND
he International Association of Athletics of Amateur Federations (IAAF) president Lamine Diack yesterday paid tribute to Kenyan cross country legend Paul Tergat and John Ngugi for their contribution to global athletics. Diack said cross country represents the pinnacle of long distance running competitions and Kenya has been part and parcel of the rich culture that has produced a majority of the worlds greatest athletes. He said cross country has made great strides from the inaugural event that attracted 287 athletes from 27 countries to this years event that has drawn 443 athletes from 45 countries. Diack said its from this encouraging development that the World Cross country Championships will be considered for inclusion in future World Championships and Olympic Games. We know what will be at stake this year (at the World Championships in Athletics in Moscow) and Kenya will be on the lips of everyone, going by their great performance in 2010, Diack said. They won all the gold medals on oer, both individual and team. Ngugi was the rst man in history to win ve World titles with back-to-back victories

[email protected] After recapturing her World Cross country title she last won in 2010, Kenyas Emily Chebet (above) has now set her sights on compatriot Vivian Cheruiyots World 10,000m title. I think I should say I have closed the cross country chapter in style and its now time to look ahead, said the 27-year-old athlete from Bomet. I want to try my luck on the track and battle it out for positions in the 10,000m race before moving to the marathon later. Chebet herself who is married to 2008 Kenyan 10,000m champion Edward Muge - was pleasantly surprised by the outcome on a snowy course in sub-zero temperatures. Chebet said she has high chances of making the team, especially after recapturing the title she won in 2010 at the same course in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The Police ocer, who is based at Chebirbelek Training Camp in Kericho under trainer Zane Branson, said she will ne-tune her form in selected road races over 5km and 10km as she hopes to gain the right shape ahead of the Kenyan trials before the World Championships in Athletics due August in Moscow, Russia. I want to train hard and try my luck in the 10,000m race. Im going to make sure I get the opportunity to run for my country by working hard and staying in shape for the trials, said Chebet at a press conference after her victory. Chebet made her World Cross debut in 2003 when she nished fth before winning bronze in 10,000m at the 2006 Africa Senior Athletics Championships. The bronze winner at the Africa Cross last year has a personal best of 31:31.39 in 10,000m. Japhet Korir, winner of the senior mens 12km race and junior mens 8km race, have also expressed their interests to make the 5,000m Kenyan team for the World Championships. After finishing fifth in junior mens race, World Junior 3,000m steeplechase champion Conseslus Kipruto plans to take his stab at the World Championships title. This is just the start and the best is yet to come from me, said Barsoton, who had not represented Kenya at any level. A red-up Korir said: I know its long since Kenya celebrated the 5,000m World or Olympic victory. I believe the current champion Mo Farah is beatable. He should be ready for the big fall.
We know what will be at stake this year and Kenya will be on the lips of everyone, going by their great performance in 2010. They won all the gold medals on oer

from 1986 to 1989 before making it again in 1992. Then Tergat equalled his record, but with another record of winning in succession from 1995 to 1999. However, Diack said the 2011 edition of the championships proved that not only Africans can win medals as American Shalane Flanagan won bronze in senior womens 8km race as Kenyas Vivian Cheruiyot and Linet Masai claimed the rst two places. No Scandinavian country Diack also paid tribute to Cheruiyot and Emily Chebet for raising the level of competition at the event at the 2011 edition. However, Diack regretted that no Balkan and Scandinavian country has graced the event but said the IAAF Cross Country Committee
will hold a seminar in one of these regions to nd out why and what can be done to promote the event. Although we are in Europe, many European countries are not competing here, no one from the Balkan countries, no one from the Scandinavian countries, many countries are not here, he said. Diack said its a matter which the IAAF Cross Country Committee would discuss. We will have a seminar before the end of the year to discuss what can be done. I hope that is not because East Africa is winning a lot of the time, but we have to face this challenge and discuss how to bring back more and more countries to this event. It is, after all, an easy event to organise.

The soldiers beat Bandari FC 1-0 in their seasonopener, but have since registered two draws against Muhoroni Youth and Sofapaka while suering losses of a similar proportions to Stima.
Great skill
their breath as they hoped for the best. Against Kenya, Eagles were stretched to the limit and needed a dramatic late equaliser from substitute, Nnamdi Oduamadi, who scored three minutes into stoppage time to save them from a would-be embarrassing home defeat. However, Thika United head coach, John Irungu, who has coached Kahata since he was 16, said that he was not surprised by the skill displayed by his treasured player. I know his talent; he and others, like Miheso (Clifton), always practice the skill (free-kick taking) in our training sessions. He has the potential to even go higher, an impressed Irungu said.

he prospect of the reigning world champions missing next years World Cup nals in Brazil will become a very real one if stumbling Spain suer another slip-up in France today evening. Vicente Del Bosques side have not lost a competitive match since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but two consecutive home draws have seen them fall behind France in this qualifying campaign. After being held 1-1 by France in Madrid in October, La Roja allowed Finland to escape with a draw by the same score in Gijon on Friday and are now two points adrift of the French at the top of Group I. The result is disastrous, admitted David Villa after Spain failed to add to Sergio Ramos opener against the groups bottom nation despite monopolising possession and camping in the opposition half, and Finland hit back to equalise late on. Lose at the Stade de France and Spain will be ve points behind Didier Deschamps side with just three matches remaining, all but ending their chances of qualifying automatically.

Fridays game, but Spain just could not kill o a well-organised Finnish side. However, France are likely to adopt a more attacking approach in front of their own demanding support in SaintDenis, and Negredo believes that will play into Spains hands. This game will be dierent to the rest of the qualifying campaign, he added. It will be much more open, against a team that will try to create chances and will leave us spaces. We will try to benet from the fact that we will be playing against quality opposition who will look to play football. Deschamps team played with great maturity in holding the European and world champions in Madrid and eased to a 3-1 victory against Georgia on Friday. Goals from Olivier Giroud and Franck Ribery either side of a strike by the superb Mathieu Valbuena allowed Les Bleus to see o the former Soviet Republic and take full advantage of Spains unexpected faux pas. It was like the perfect evening for us, Deschamps said of Friday night. Sticking 11 men behind the ball might appear the most likely way of taking anything from Spain, but Deschamps insists that France will try and take the game to their visitors. My intentions will not change because Spains will certainly not change, said the 44-year-old, who lifted the World Cup as France captain in 1998. They will look to monopolise possession of the ball and win the match. I dont see myself telling my team to just defend. Spain oblige you to defend but a win would be a very good result for us, even if a draw would still be a good result. Our objective is to qualify for the World Cup and the best way to do that is by nishing rst in the group. (AFP)

ubilee coalition yesterday formally signed a post-election pact with Justice minister Eugene Wamalwas New Ford-Kenya ahead of the alliances retreat today. Deputy President-elect William Ruto said with the six New Ford-K MPs joining the alliance, Jubilee would have a majority of 195 seats in the National Assembly besides being the majority party in the Senate. Speaking during the signing ceremony in Nairobi, Mr Ruto, the leader of URP party, said affiliate parties would join the Jubilee family at todays retreat at Great Rift Valley Lodge, where the parties would share seats in the National Assembly and the Senate. We shall go to craft a team that will spearhead the leadership and management of both
the Senate and Parliament. Jubilee is committed to go out of its way to create an inclusive government both outside and inside Parliament, he said. Mr Ruto, who with President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta will attend the retreat , pledged that Jubilee would work openly and transparently with the aliates for the best interest of Kenya. Lobbying for top positions in Parliament and the Senate intensied last evening as new entrants joined races for speaker positions. Former MPs Justin Muturi and Abdikadir Mohamed are seeking Jubilees support to win the National Assembly Speakers seat while Mr Kenneth Marende of Cord is seeking to retain his position. They will battle it out with 12 other candidates who picked application forms yesterday. Garissa Township MP Aden Duale and his Mandera West counterpart Mohamud Mohamed are eyeing Majority Leaders post in the National Assembly. The coalition will have to pick the candidate for the Senate Majority Leader from Senators-elect Kithure

NOBODY said it better than Brazils representative to the International Monetary Fund, Paulo Nogueira Batista, when he termed the move by Cyprus to impose a tax on customer deposits as a highly problematic decision. He was questioning the wisdom of the IMF and European Union decision to levy tax as part of conditions for the tiny island in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea to access a $13 billion (about Sh1.1 trillion) rescue fund. Cyprus, which seats north of Egypt, is a member of the EU, whose members are currently battling a debt crisis. Greece, Spain, and Italy are Cyprus compatriots in the debt quagmire. I was surprised and dismayed by the announcement, Mr Batista told AFP on Thursday. I dont know where that brilliant idea came from... Asked about the criticism, an IMF spokesman told AFP that IMF standard practices were followed in informing the executive boards decision. The proposal is to levy a tax of up to 15 per cent on savings by customers, which has been equated to meting out violence on depositors. In Moscow, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev condemned the IMF-European proposals as absolutely absurd. Moscow, though, is an interested party, with almost half of the deposits traced to Russians, most said to be proceeds from fraud. That brilliant idea now threatens to destroy Cyprus banking industry, with the government ordering banks to remain closed for the past two weeks, an act termed an extreme and rare measure, although not a rst in the world. The closure is to avoid a run on the banks by customers seeking to withdraw their deposits. The country had until yesterday to agree to the bailout terms or, as the German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned mid last week, exhaust the patience of eurozone partners. Cyprus is not the rst to suer because of such absurd decisions. Kenya and a number of developing countries were casualties under the infamous IMF and the World Bank-led structural adjustment programmes in the 1990s dressed as free markets and poverty reduction policies. The generic nature of the policies and non-involvement of the aected countries ended up hurting more than helping them. You can read more about this at http://www.globalissues.org/article/3/ structural-adjustment-a-major-cause-of poverty. My boss once challenged me to name a single country that has developed by listening to the advice of IMF and the World Bank. I am still searching for one, and I hope that Cyprus does not disappoint at this critical moment. WACHIRA KANGARU [email protected]

ENERGY
HOUSES ADOPT GAS AS HIGH PRICES AND HABITAT CONCERNS PUSH OUT CHARCOAL
At one time, charcoal selling was one of the most lucrative businesses in Kenya. Many people took up the business because of high demand for the fuel that was then an aordable source of energy for most families. Fast forward to the present day and the fortunes of the business have plummeted as families switch to cheaper and more ecient sources of energy. The price of charcoal has been on a steady rise, making it expensive and unattractive to households. Things have worsened for charcoal traders as the drive to encourage people to adopt cleaner and more ecient sources of energy, especially cooking gas, intensify. The cost of LPG, which is a clean source of energy, has been on a downward trend for the past year, making it aordable for many households as competition between service providers stiens. The worst-hit charcoal traders are those operating in Nairobi. Dealers in low, middle, and high-income suburbs lament their dwindling fortunes. While middle and high-income families have switched to cooking gas and electricity, households in the lower segment mainly rely on kerosene. Charcoal selling is no longer a lucrative business. It may be just a matter of time before our businesses collapse since people are not buying the product as they used to, said Mr Stephen Metonik, who operates from Komarock.
BY JOSHUA MASINDE
Unable to clear them Mr Metonik has stocked seven bags of charcoal at his stall, but he cannot recall when he last replenished his stock. I think it was sometime in December or November last year when I had 13 bags. I have not been able to clear them. I had hoped that I would sell most of them during the festive season, but it came and passed. With the pace at which people are buying, perhaps I will have sold them by June, he said. Like many other traders in Nairobi, Mr Metonik sells the charcoal in four kilogramme tins since most customers do not buy a whole bag. I have been in this business for close to three years and I cannot recall selling a whole bag to a customer. People buy in tins, mostly two, said Mr Metonik, who engages in other businesses to keep aoat. Traders blame the increase in charcoal prices to strict government policies structured to stop the depletion of forest cover. Most of the charcoal sold in Nairobi comes from Narok in Rift Valley and Eastern provinces, where environmentalists have complained of declining forest cover. With the increase in price, charcoal remains unattractive to many consumers. The prices of cooking gas and kerosene makes them aordable compared to that of charcoal. If I mainly use charcoal for all my cooking, I will need at least two 5kg tins a day. This comes to about $1.54. It is expensive compared to using kerosene for cooking, said Ms Frida Mbusya, a mother of four who lives in Nairobi. She said a 13 kilogramme cylinder of cooking gas lasts her family about one-and-a-half months, which makes this source of energy cheaper. (Xinhua)
he possibility of the horticultural industry stagnating in coming years has forced Kenya to start looking for new markets According to the Kenya Flower Council chief executive, Ms Jane Ngige, the countrys earnings and production capacity have reached a level of stability and are likely to stay there if Kenya does not scout for new markets. We have sort of reached a plateau and we project the sector to stabilise at this level, but theres aggressive pursuit of new markets to push the sector higher and also to increase our competitiveness, Ms Ngige told Smart Company. She said that last years production was relatively good despite the eurozone crisis, but both earnings and volumes declined marginally compared to 2011. According to statistics from the Horticultural Crops Development Authority (HCDA), Kenya earned Sh89.87 billion from export of flowers, fruits, and vegetables last year, down from Sh91 billion realised in 2011. Of these, cut owers accounted for more than half the export revenues at Sh64.9 billion, with rose owers accounting for Sh39.4 billion of total revenue. The total capacity of the three produce categories flowers, fruits, and vegetables dropped by 4.9 per cent to 205.7 million kilogrammes compared to 216.2 million kilogrammes reported in 2011, but volumes are projected to rise this year due to expected good rainfall. Industry stakeholders, however, say they are exploring new

markets, mostly outside the traditional European zone, where the country also faces sti competition from other producers. According to Elgon Limited director Bimal Kantaria, the industry is eying new customers in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Dubai following strong emergence of other global producers targeting the US and Europe, Kenyas traditional main market. Elgon Limited deals in the supply of inputs for horticultural produce. At the moment, increasing rivalry from countries like India, China, Colombia, and Ecuador has eaten into Kenyas market share, especially in Europe, which accounts for about 90 per cent of the countrys total exports and has taken sector players back to the drawing board to come up with strategies to pursue new markets. Last year, the dip in earnings for the sector was compounded by recession in most European
countries, which eroded purchasing power as the countries resorted to austerity measures to avoid sinking further into debt. According to the National Horticulture Policy document released by the Ministry of Agriculture in June 2012, the African market also presents a good opportunity for Kenyas horticultural products. In the African region (Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Africa, and Egypt), Kenya was between 2006 and 2010 a marginal net importer in terms of volume but a signicant net exporter in value of exports, stated the document. Kenyas exports to these African countries were valued at Sh30.5 billion, which is six times the value of imports of Sh4.8 billion from the region. Horticultural production for the domestic market has a fair share of challenges, with continued inux of similar products from regional markets.
Bokanga said a large number of improved seeds and planting technologies are implemented to great success in targeted development projects like the UNs Millennium Villages but fail to move to the grassroots, where they are most needed.

THREAT HUMAN ENCROACHMENT ON THE INCREASE
nvestors intending to build projects in the Amboseli National Park will have to wait for a year before getting licences after the authority responsible for environmental conservation sought to arrest further destruction of the ecosystem. The environment which hosts the famous park has seen rapid and unplanned settlement and construction of facilities fuelled by the increase in the number of tourists. No new developments or projects will be licensed to operate in the area until the Amboseli ecosystem management plan is completed and gazetted, said the National Environment Management Authority (Nema). The one-year moratorium will run until March next year. The implication of the moratorium is that Nema and relevant lead agencies shall not issue requisite licences for any new/proposed developments or projects as listed in the second schedule of Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 1999, said the notice on moratorium. The notice that took eect from February 28 is expected to aect investors who had planned to set up hotels and other tourist facilities in THE AMBOSELIthe area as they are supposed to wait until March next year when the direcECOSYSTEM tive will be reviewed.

over an area of 5,700 square kilometres from Chyulu hills, Tsavo West National Park to the Kenya-Tanzania border. In 2011, the number of visitors to the national park stood at 167,000, with reports from the Kenya Wildlife Service that the elephant population has increased in recent years. Stakeholders have agreed on the Amboseli ecosystem management plan and have been waiting for its gazettement to arrest the unplanned development that is putting pressure on the natural resources. Apart from human settlement fuelled by the prospects of business brought in by the tourists, horticulture farming is the latest intrusion into the already ailing ecosystem. The plan envisages zoning of the ecosystem to protect the environment by having various activities separated while taking into consideration the concerns of the communities in the area. In the plan, farming zones will be separated from grazing areas while hotels and other social facilities will be in a dierent zone. Amboseli is among the major tourist destinations in the country due to its wide variety of wildlife, scenic landscapes, proximity to Mount Kilimanjaro, and authentic Maasai culture. The decision to institute a moratorium was arrived at after extensive consultations with Kenya Wildlife Service, the Kenya Forest Service, the Olkejuado County Council, the Kenya Investment Authority, the Ministry of Regional Development, and the Amboseli ecosystem trust.

STUDY CONSUMERS INSIGHT SAYS FIRMS HAVE TURNED TO LOCAL ARTISTS TO POPULARISE BRANDS

combined with Omos market share means that Unilever holds 35 per cent of the laundry detergent market, well above P&Gs 25 per cent. But Omo and Sunlight both from the multinational have a combined share that more than beats what Number One (Ariel) controls. This proves that a multiple brand strategy within one category is actually workable, said Consumer Insight. Nevertheless, this is a step-down for Unilever, whose Omo has been a market leader for more than four decades. Research rm AC Nielsen in 2009 reported that Unilever controlled 50 per cent of the market. Kapa Oils Toss detergent came in fourth with a six per cent market share, tying with PZ Cussons Ushindi bar soap. Coming in at a respectable position is Ushindi, whose brand is based on the broad appeal at the mid to upper class. This simple fact alone makes it the brand to watch in this segment, said Consumer Insight. Bidcos Gental and Power Boy had four per cent and three per cent market share respectively. Trends in the detergent market are replicated across other segments of the fast-moving consumer goods sector where multinationals have bitten a larger piece of the pie of local industries. Consumer Insight surveys on market share of product categories ranging from bathing soap to spices and sanitary towels show that multinationals, led by P&G and Unilever, are leading the pack. The research firm notes that brands
that are easily recognisable and which have been in the market for decades still hold sway among consumers. In the sanitary towels division, P&Gs Always holds a 62 per cent market share and Consumer Insight warns that it will be extremely expensive for any other brand to topple it from this position. With a consistent marketing formula target the youth, execute relentlessly, grow with your market the brand has successfully engaged its core audience. This dominance, a lead of over 51 per cent, is costly to overcome, so not worth the eort, writes the research rm. Other brands that have beneted from advertising include Unilevers Royco, which was ranked as having the second best television commercial last year. Unilever dominated the list of most memorable advertisements following a survey of 12,000 television and radio commercials.

The brand beat Kapa Oils Prestige Margarine and Bidco Oils Biddy, also buoyed by strategic advertising. Although the big spenders in advertising are multinationals, Consumer Insight found that the utilisation of Kenyan advertising agencies and artists made a crucial dierence in the eectiveness of the advertisement. However, some locally produced adverts were also ranked among the worst performers.

the respective appointing authorities shall have due regard to accredited consumer organisations and the Advisory Committee in making such appointments, reads the Act. The other organisations required to reconstitute their boards are the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), and the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA). They have been accused of ignoring consumers concerns in favour of pursuing businessfriendly policies. Consumer representation is expected to change this. But that is just one facet of a law that is designed to turn the doing of business in the country on its head; from advertising, how banks treat their customers, to mechanics duty in repairing motor vehicles. It seeks to end an era where consumers and their concerns were relegated to footnotes to making them the kings. There has been a denite vacuum in the regulation of consumer matters. This will remedy that, said Prof Joseph Kieyah of the Kenya Institute of Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA). The first beneficiaries, though, seem to be the mushrooming consumer rights groups which, by the publication of the gazette notice, were turned from hecklers of anticonsumer decisions made by the government to an integral part of national policy formulation and regulation. In the past, we have been left on the sidelines and often end up reacting to decisions instead of helping to formulate them. This will change, said Cofek secretary general, Mr Stephen Mutoro. However, acquiring and keeping seats in the regulatory boards will by no means be a smooth ride. For one, consumer organisations in Kenya are a fragmented, poorly funded, and sometimes shadowy lot. In a 2012 report titled The State of the Kenyan Consumer, the Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS), noted that civil society groups and consumer organisations had limited capacity to carry out their mandate and often had little or no government cooperation and support. (There is) lack of long-term sup-

port from government departments for consumer organisations. (Another challenge is) uncooperative regulators and a lack of consumer support, says the CUTS report. Dissenting voices have also warned that the new Act may simply be used for proteering even among the legitimate consumer rights associations. By proceeding to place vetted associations at state regulatory bodies, the new legislation has been criticised on social media as being an avenue for job seekers wearing consumer protection clothes. But time will tell, said ICT Consumers Association chairman, Mr Alex Gakuru. While acknowledging these challenges, Mr Mutoro said the newly effected law makes explicit provisions for the regulation of consumer rights associations. Only those organisations registered under the Societies Act for purposes of consumer protection will be allowed to nominate members to the nine-member Advisory Committee that is tasked with spearheading consumer-friendly policies. The Advisory Committee has also been granted the power to monitor the development of consumer associations as well as create industry standards for the conduct of such

disdain over the manner in which the CCK has handled the matter of digital migration, even going to the courts to challenge the commission. Last week, Mr Mutoro publicly chided the ERC for increasing the price of fuel. Once the members of the Advisory Committee are appointed and consumer rights representatives seconded to regulatory bodies, they will have the formidable task of bringing the rights of the customer into focus in a market where these rights have been consigned to the back burner for years. Before the gazettement of the Act, the rights of Kenyan consumers were addressed in no less than nine pieces of legislations implemented by as many agencies. Although not necessarily incompetent, these agencies were often unable to deliver their consumer protection mandate due to overlapping responsibilities and competing priorities. They have other priority objectives apart from consumer protection and the latter is often a secondary role, which faces implementation challenges, notes CUTS. The new law will, therefore, consolidate the breadth of consumer protection provisions from myriad sectors under one overarching regime. Further, the new law provides Kenyan consumers with unprecedented protection and empowers them to seek redress. In line with provisions made in the Constitution, consumers will now be free to pursue class action suits without rst seeking the approval of the courts. Class suits are those in which a group/class of people can bring a claim to a court against one or more parties. This is bound to be a game changer locally. As the ease of l-
ing such suits increases, companies are likely to be wary of sparking the wrath of consumers and risking heavy nes in damages. There have been fears that the tightening of these regulations could potentially harm Kenyas business environment. Mr Kieyah, however, argues that the private sector is equally empowered and that the co-existence of robust lobbies on behalf of both businesses and consumers will create the ideal operating environment. The interests of consumers and businesses are antithetic to one another. In the process of both these forces pulling in opposite directions, we are likely to see more balanced government policies, he said. Nevertheless, Kenyan businesses will have to go back to the drawing board on some of their strategies, especially in marketing, as a consequence of the new regulation. The Act elaborates on deceptive advertising and proposes nes of up to Sh10 million for some of these practices. Commentators have, however, warned that the Act will not be a panacea for all that aicts the Kenyan consumer. Mr Gakuru notes that as long as a culture of impunity when it comes to economic crimes persists, the Act will do little to change the current situation. Further, although the law might be in place, Kenyas consumer base remains unaware of its rights and might, therefore, need aggressive public education before it can start taking corporates to task. One hopes that the body charged with consumer protection under this Act does not turn out to be like the moribund Monopolies and Prices Commission of Kenya, occasionally popping up with sweet comments, but whose market and consumer protection eects were rarely felt, said Mr Gakuru.
bodies. We have seen people say that they are ghting for consumer rights but they have not always been legitimate. The Act oers this legitimacy, said Mr Kieyah.
Even so, there is the inescapable fact that providing consumer lobbies platforms in regulatory bodies may in some cases create strange bedfellows. The associations have often collided with government regulators
over fundamental issues and if they are unable to reconcile their dierences, it could result in lags in the implementation and enforcement of government regulations. Cofek, in particular, has expressed

price of a 50 kilogramme bag of fertiliser is Sh3,500 in the stores. The board sells it at Sh2,480. The boards public relations manager, Mr Evans Wasike, has, however, asked farmers not to worry, saying the NCPB would supply them with the input as soon as the case was determined. We have already awarded the tender and are just waiting for the ruling this month before we start normal distribution of fertiliser to farmers, said Mr Wasike. The NCPBs North Rift regional manager, Mr Jonah Marindich, told farmers to be patient as the importation of fertiliser was already underway. However, some farmers are worried that they cannot wait because the rains are almost starting. It is better that I buy the fertiliser at a higher price and avoid the inconvenience of planting late, said Mr Peter Okumu, a farmer in Trans
he absence of a popular brand of subsidised fertiliser and rising costs of maize seed have growers worried. A 25 kilogramme bag of maize seed is now selling at Sh4,500, up from Sh3,750 after the Kenya Seed Company increased the price by 20 per cent. For the past two years, growers have had it rough during the planting season owing to a number of hiccups, among them the distribution of fertiliser after planting has started. Last year a court case led by MEA Limited questioning the procedure that the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) was using to distribute fertiliser almost paralysed farming. The suit saw the distribution of the input start late, forcing some farmers to plant without the crucial ingredient.

This year, the situation is not any dierent. A court case led by Erad supplying company has stopped all transactions at the board. NCPBs bank accounts have been attached by auctioneers on behalf of Erad, paralysing its activities. The board has been ordered by the court to pay Sh500 million resulting from the cancellation of a tender that Erad had been awarded in 2004. The price of DAP fertiliser in retail shops has gone up as the shortage of the subsidised product from NCPB bites. The

Nzoia County. The Fertiliser Association of Kenya (FAK) has called on the government to look into the possibility of buying the fertiliser from private importers and selling it to farmers at subsidised price to avoid late planting. In an interview, association chairman Eustace Muriuki said private importers have more than enough fertiliser in their stores to last the entire planting season. Private importers have 100,000 tonnes of planting fertiliser and it would be wise for the government to buy from
them, then sell it to farmers at a subsidised rate, he said. Mr Muriuki, however, asked farmers not to wait. This comes in the wake of the board urging farmers to use other types of fertiliser instead of waiting for the subsidised Diammonium Phosphate (DAP). For long, farmers have been using DAP as the only source of planting fertiliser, but it is time they changed by adopting alternatives such as SSP and NPK, which are equally productive, said Mr Marindich. A visit by Smart Company at Eldoret established that some farmers have decided to go for alternatives.

Paintings range from drawings on boards to canvas. Mr Francis Ngugi, who is responsible for the canvas paintings at the market, said it was an art he learnt from a friend who was a retired teacher. After mastering the skill, he ventured out on his own but decided to use canvas, which, according to him, is better than board.

LIABILITY THERE ARE TOOLS CYBER-CRIMINALS CAN USE TO HIDE THEIR ACTIVITIES
uring the Arab spring revolution, the Libyan government showed the lengths to which some states can go in a bid to tame the cyber world. The country had an Eagle spy system whose purpose was to perform massive interception of Internet content. The traffic from Libyas Internet service providers and mobile phones was harvested using a method known as deep-packet inspection, thus enabling security agents to intercept emails, online chats ,and Facebook messages. Whereas some Internet interception systems carry out basic ltering on IP address, the Eagle spy system of Libya analysed and stored all the communications in a massive style of interception. The system was designed to provide cyberspace surveillance and tame social media. However, it failed to tame the uprising, paving the way for the unthinkable approach of shutting down the Internet. Generally, in cyberspace, it is tricky to dissect the four aspects of freedom of expression, state security, privacy, and on-line policing. In the real sense, if a country decides to mess with the freedom of the Internet, it turns into a case of state censorship, attracting global criticism, just like what has been happening to China and the Arab world. Social media gives many users a voice that they would not have got from mainstream media. Sites like Facebook are visited by millions of people who share information and interact in virtual meeting joints. In the political world, social media and the Internet at large provide a forum where users and politicians share information. The dark side of this rears its head on the web when users abuse their rights of expression or engage in criminal activities. Such is the case for hate speech as we embrace this transition period. Technically, the task of dealing with vices like hate speech in cyberspace is tricky. A keen observation of the hate speech on the Web reveals that many of the posts are done by people hiding behind anonymous identities. The In-
Challenges
ternet is well known for ease of anonymity. A user in a public cyber caf can log onto a website with an anonymous identication, email, or username. The case of Internet anonymity is made even trickier with the availability of programmes and apps that promote extra stealth and multimedia messages that self-destruct to conceal evidence. Some free web programmes oer anonymous URLs and email identities that can help a person to post content without a trace. The same anonymous identities and the posted content can also be designed to vanish from the web through a self-destructing mechanism so that there is no trace left of any communication. The government can trace people with the help of Internet protocol addresses. However, the basic fact is that connected devices can either use that static address or the dynamic address. Now, the tricky part of tracking a person is when dynamic IPs are in use. There are tools and softwares on the Web that can be used by a techsavvy purveyor of hate speech to hide all his dirty laundry and escape without a trace. Such stealth browsing tools are sometimes used by hackers and cybercriminals to hide their activities.

Kenya, like other countries on the globe, has a daunting task of taming cyberspace-related vices as well as crimes on other digital platforms. Recently, Information permanent secretary Bitange Ndemo said mobile telephone service providers block more than 300,000 text messages deemed to spread hate daily. The government, through the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, has also revealed that four individuals face arrest for spreading hate speech on social media. Social media creates virtual meeting joints for discussion, debate, and exchange of information. Such a sphere will certainly attract the prying eyes of the state and Internet marketers. It is worth noting that the basis of the business of social networking sites and Internet companies like Google is vested in advertisements based on the users information, interests, and demographics. Besides, in the quest for state security, some countries resort to crude methods like Libyas Eagle spy system, hence leaving users open to privacy breaches.

As a business leader, you should creatively provide family-friendly benets, which will help your company to attract and retain sta. Flexible work arrangements and guaranteed paid family leave tell workers that you recognise and value their responsibilities. In Lean In, Sheryl admits that she did not realise how cumbersome parking in a spot far from the office entrance could be for pregnant women until she got pregnant, and only then did she ask her employer to reserve some spots close to the doorway for expectant mothers.

Sheryl encourages all women to lean in and speak up: She cites a meeting where there was not enough room at a table, and so former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithners young female associates elected to sit in the back of the room. But business leaders need to do their part by listening something we all need to be reminded about pretty frequently. If people are not speaking up, it is your responsibility to change that situation: At the meeting with Geithner, one of the senior executives should have ordered a larger table when the problem became evident, or just gotten rid of it and rearranged the seating so that everybody could contribute to the discussion. When your employees do speak up, then it is your turn: it is time to earn their condence by acting on their feedback, whether that means simply discussing a decision or promoting their ideas.

ccessKenya continued its lead as the best performing counter this year at the Nairobi Securities Exchange, closing last weeks trading up 21 per cent. Last year the share price gained over 60 per cent and has already bagged another 98 per cent jump this year. Opening trading at Sh4.25 per share in January 2013, the stock closed last week at Sh8.47.
Analysts at NIC Securities said speculative trading of the Internet service providers counter started with its managements statement about being open to a potential takeover at the right price. The rally has persisted, with the stock hitting a fresh 12-month high of Sh8.45. The counter is riding on renewed investor confidence following the strong full-year performance as well as the announcement by major shareholders that they were open for a takeover, said the analysts. AccessKenya reported a 39 per cent increase in full-year earnings that saw it pay a dividend for the rst time in three years. The company is riding on increased subscription, with their corporate segment netting 700 more customers to 5,400.

The Internet service provider has embarked on strengthening and optimising its network to increase eciency, targeting the corporate sector for increased business deals, which look headed to boost its revenues going forward. According to Standard Investment Bank (SIB) analysts, who attended an investor brieng with the company last week, AccessKenya looks to spend Sh300 million in capital expenditure this year, with a chunk of the nances expected to expand its bre network to reach more buildings and move some existing clients from WiMax. 2012 had started weaker as a result of a slowdown around the elections but expected business to pick up. The company is increasing its focus on IT and value-added services for the coming years, SIB analysts noted in their weekly report. In the full year that ended in December 2012, the company reported a 39 per cent rise in after-tax prots to Sh151 million, compared to Sh109 million reported in 2011, supported by increased connections and strengthening its grip on the corporate market segment. The company also resumed payment of dividend of Sh0.30 per share to its shareholders after a three-year drought.

COVER STORY
trailing him, he knew that the end was nigh. The Standard reported that, as Shaw closed down on him, Wakinyonga dug his own grave in the backyard of the house he lived in and went on a spending spree, buying people crates of beer at Nyakombani Night Club in Nairobis Kangemi area. One night, as he was enjoying his beer, Shaw stepped into the club. Wakinyonga looked up and beheld the burly man smile coyly at him. This was going to be easy for the crime-buster, after all. After a shoot-out during which several patrons were injured, Wakinyonga lay in a pool of blood, dead. But, even though the ocial story is that it was Shaw who red the fatal bullet, an aging taxi driver who says he witnessed it all says Shaw happened into the scene minutes after Wakinyonga had been shot dead by the police, and that the grave in his backyard was actually a newly dug pit latrine. But the drama was not over yet in the Wakinyonga script. At the funeral, as the fallen criminals casket was being lowered into his grave, Shaw led a group of police ocers into the scene and ordered everyone to lie face-down. Many were arrested for questioning. That was trademark Shaw. Whenever he gunned down a suspect, he always made a point of showing up at the funeral, where he would arrest a number of mourners, including family members, for questioning. He would then proceed to warn anyone who looked suspect to never step in Nairobi, or else... Many have questioned why the man operated as if he was above the law, why he broke the very rules he was supposed to uphold by playing the role of investigator, judge and executioner. The explanation given at the time was that Shaw knew that, should the men he arrested be sent to jail, they would come out hardened and even more dangerous. The correctional facilities of the 1970s were nothing to write home about, as were the courts. Many thugs could somehow bribe their way out of the tightest of cases. In an era where the capacity of the police and the CID was limited, and where corruption and crime were rampant even within the police ranks and the Judiciary, Shaws crime-ghting techniques

Peter Njuguna Kimani wails after being arrested by the police on robbery-withviolence charges in 1978. Back then, a wave of crime engulfed Nairobi, and police reservist Patrick Shaw was billed as the only man who could put things back in order. Njuguna was later jailed for eight years, but he was among the lucky few. Had he crossed paths with Shaw, he would have been killed on the spot.
had to be equally unethical and brutal. One criminal named George Kamau, alias Slim, a protg to Wakinyonga and leader of a gang known as the Disciples of Jesus, knows that all too well where he sleeps, forever. Slim is alleged to have killed 52 people in the late 1970s and 1980s. After getting o on a series of technicalities or because of scared witnesses withdrawing their testimonies, Slim was nally put away for six years for three separate violent crimes in 1981, but not before threatening to kill Shaw. A month before Slim was released, Shaw visited Kamiti prison and warned him that, once free, he was to leave Nairobi forever. Slim, of course, ignored the warning and proceeded to do various jobs in the city. It was not long before Shaw decided to put things to rest. One night, as Slim and another suspected criminal named Stephen Mbaraka Karanja whiled the evening away in the city, they were accosted by a team of police

ocers who bundled them into a car and headed to Karura Forest. There, it is alleged, the two were shot dead on the orders of Shaw. So, was this man a crimebuster or a psycopath let loose on the streets of Nairobi... with a loaded gun? Many who spent time with or
near him say they were convinced the man had a split personality. Despite the extrajudicial killings and his run-ins with the darker side of Nairobi, one of his informants says, the man would every now and then exhibit the traits of a humanitarian angel. For instance, he was able to set aside his psycopathic ways and become the principled, fun-loving guy at Starehe Boys Centre. A police ocer he worked with described Shaw as completely out of control and out of bounds of the constitutional description of what an ocer should be . He did not report to any particular police station, he used his personal car, and had no xed jurisdiction, the retired police ocer says, but admits that it was this nature of self-deployment that made Shaw so eective. To counter the claim that the man reported to no one, and was thus some sort of a one-man vigilante, a former informant cites that Shaws rank was Senior Superintendant of Police, and that his position as a police reservist justied his modus operandi.

Top right: A Nairobi businessman shows injuries sustained during a robbery attack in 1979. Above: A suspects relative begs for his life along Nairobi streets in 1978. Patrick Shaw is said to have instilled both fear and loathing in the hearts of criminals in the city.
Despite roiling and toiling with Nairobis most wanted, none of them ever got the best of Big Pat Shaw. But in July 1979, the man had his closest shave with a thug. One Friday afternoon, a gang of three Ugandans stormed into the house of Dr Gulam Mustafa while the family was having lunch. They shot death the Mustafas house-help Simon Ngeresa, his wife Jane and Mustafas wife Parvin before ransacking the house for loot, after which they harassed Mustafas two daughters and a nephew of the family. While they were still in the house, Shaw pulled up at the family gate. One of the gang members red through the window of Shaws car, hitting him in the shoulder. Shaw sped to Nairobi Hospital for treatment, but the police arrived shortly afterwards to clean up the mess. One of the gang members was gunned down while bystanders and police captured another. A submachine gun was found on the dead suspect, later identied as Marua Wakamune, but Patrick Walimba, the man blamed for shooting Shaw, escaped.
After having the bullet removed, Shaw refused to spend the night at the hospital, upon which Dr Georey Grin, Starehes Director, was called in to talk to his friend. Griffin arrived at the hospital to nd Shaw pacing the hallways. An assistant administrator with gangrene would be of little use, Grin told Shaw, and eventually persuaded him to stay one night and to take it easy. In 1981, Shaw nally caught up with Walimba and, in the presence of other officers, gunned-down the gangster at a bar in Jerusalem Estate. It is difficult to estimate, even modestly, how many suspected gangsters Shaw killed. Literally hundreds, one former informant estimates. At least one fatality a week. But the man was, like all men, still mortal. On February 14, 1988, while visiting a friend named David Rowe, Shaw started feeling weak. His heart was failing. It is said he was reading a newspaper when he stood up shouting and fell to his knees, his gun still in its holster. He was rushed to Nairobi Hospital where he was pronounced dead, aged 52. The next morning, all three major newspapers run front-page stories on the man who was known simply as crime-buster . Over the course of the following week, condolences were telephoned and wired in from around the world. On Saturday, February 20, 1988, the once indomitable Patrick David Shaw was laid to rest. The Starehe school chapel, where the funeral service was held, was packed to absolute capacity, while hundreds more sat on the grass of the quadrangle , a newspaper reported. A group of boys, some of whom considered Shaw their father, carried his con past the buildings built under his supervision and through the funds he helped to raise into a

hearse. The cortege of police cars and motorcycles that accompanied the man on his nal journey to Langata cemetery was two miles long. It was like a royal procession, remembers his sister. Chief Justice Cecil Miller read a message of condolence from then President Daniel arap Moi, praising Shaw for his constant, selfless, sacricial and untiring service to law and order for the benet of his fellow men . Shaws close friends, including the late Georey Grin, scoed at the notion that Shaw died from anything
The sun shines for both the evil and the good, but there are those who keep their faces to the sunshine and cannot see their shadow, Shaw is reported to have once said. At the time, he had come under scrutiny over his extrajudicial killings and the omnipresence he exhibited in the criminal underworld. It was, however, the disappearance and later murder of politician J M Kariuki that sent shivers down the hitmans spine. His character had been called to question by MPs, who wondered how the man was always the rst to arrive at scenes of crime, way before the police did. When word went around that Shaw had been involved in the arrest of JM, the world started crumbling all around him. Suddenly, he was no longer a revered crime-buster, but a likely criminal himself. In 1981, John Keen, then Assistant Minister in the Oce of the President, was summoned to give testimony to Parliament on the progress the government had made in controlling crime. Nine hundred and eighty one gangsters were arrested in the past year, he testied. In a supplementary question, one MP asked: And why is it that Patrick Shaw is always the rst to arrive on the scene of a crime and not African police? Parliament erupted in laughter, but, begrudgingly, Keen responded by saying that all police ocers, both Black and White, were doing a ne job. Still, the country was not convinced that the fellow was such a ne policeman as claimed, and henceforth viewed him with suspicion.
The year Patrick Shaw reportedly gunned down Nairobis most infamous criminal Nichoalus Mwea aka Wakinyonga.
other than a heart attack. But most in Nairobi, including the students at Starehe, believed foul play was at hand, that the man who lived by the sword had to have died by the sword. These rumours were only compounded when the students were prevented from viewing the body, a decision Griffin made to prevent the funeral proceedings from being sensationalised. Later, the Weekly Review, at its time the foremost political magazine in Kenya, carried a story on Shaw highlighting his prowess as a civil servant and crime ghter. Mystery always seemed to surround him and the police were probably content to leave matters so in order to enhance the aura of invincibility that surrounded him, the Weekly Review wrote. One photo of Shaw looking smug was included, with the caption reading simply: Shaw: awesome reputation .
During the 1982 coup attempt by ocers from Kenya Air Force, Shaw was in Europe fundraising for Starehe. On August 1, a Corporal from KAF named Ngatia was assigned to arrest president Moi. But before doing so he and his fellow rogue ocers decided to rst head to Starehe and take out Patrick Shaw. James Dianga, author of the book Kenya, 1982: The Attempted Coup, says Ngatias mission to kill Shaw was also fuelled by the fact that Shaw was investigating Ngatia for his role in a series of bank robberies. Cpl Ngatia was a supporter of Spt Hezekiah Ochuka, one of the senior coup plotters. Ochuka had helped to delay Shaws request that the KAF hands over Ngatia for interrogation. In exchange for his assistance, and knowing that Ngatia was in a tough position, Ochuka handed Ngatia the task of arresting president Moi. Upon hearing of the plot, Shaw immediately ew back to help sort out the mess, says his sister. He immediately started interrogating the key suspects, and is said to have been behind the torture of many who were arrested in connection with the failed coup.

ON A MORE PERSONAL NOTE: Now that we are no longer shy to talk about condoms, can someone explain to me what happened to Durex Performa, which have disappeared form the shelves?
ear sex gods who live in our minds, we humbly ask you to help our clergy see the light at the end of the long tunnel and follow it before it goes o and they are left in the dark. We know they will be with other Kenyans who have also turned their back to that light because it is hurting their extremely sensitive eyes. It would be wrong to condemn the clergy and call them names because they have refused to see the light or to get out of the tunnel. It would also be wrong to label only them pretenders since we all love to pretend we are comfortable even when we have such a big problem like a foreign condom in our midst. This latex sheath, which was reportedly made famous by the French company Durex, is currently our biggest problem. It is so big and growing so fast that if we do not bring it under control, it will come between us and our earthly pleasures and denitely smother us to death. If we are not careful, we will suocate under a surfeit of the condom, which might as well be a part of the larger sinister foreign hand. When did the condom start falling on us, when did it start coming between us and our morals, when did it start turning stable families in to dysfunctional ones? These are questions many of us cannot answer unless we scratch our heads, an action we might want to avoid because it would spoil our months-old weaves which exemplify not just our love for embracing change, but also our preference for dressing like sheep yet, deep inside, we are wolves. But that is not the point.
The main reason we may not answer it lies in our education system, buried in a subject called History. That we are an extremely moral society has never been in doubt, and the people who have safeguarded our morality are none other than the overly religious men and women in our midst fake or not aided and abetted by our extremely caring and self-righteous politicians who love us so much that they never want to hurt our feelings. Many years ago, our religious men and women gured that it was not prudent for school-going children to learn about their sexuality because it was going to corrupt their morals. It was a clear display of fake emotions over some half-hearted attempt to introduce Family Life Education into the (primary) school curriculum, and the overall feeling was that the young ones would know a lot about their bodies that, instead of working hard so that their parents can dance on national television while mumbling about God when results are released, they would be busy cavorting, canoodling and making babies. As a nation, we got so busy teaching morality and failed to prevent young
school-going children from getting children from supermarket shelves as had been the norm. We live in denial and do not even realise that those children have won international tenders from Postinor and are popping morning-after pills regularly. The cycle of denial has been our stock in trade, a handy weapon against change even when we are running out of burial space for victims of sexually-transmitted infections. Ours is a wonderful country where nothing but morality reigns; a nation of well-mannered couples who spend more time together when they are in trac than at home; a country of resourceful men and well-endowed women who gleefully share what they have with other couples or the unmarried compatriots and when they are reminded of their exploits, they throw tantrums. All is not lost though, for together with the clergy, we can bury our heads in the empty packs of morning-after pills and pray for the foreign rms that are corrupting childrens minds through advertisements that depict their mothers as sexually-starved, insatiable cheats who should sheathe their excess desires.

UNTREATABLE TB ON THE RISE, WARN MEDICAL EXPERTS
Processed foods are quick, convenient and sinfully delicious, but they are packed with harmful ingredients that ultimately compromise your health
BY DR CORY COUILLARD
[email protected]
ver the past twenty years, a lot has changed and the foods that we eat are creating a sicker generation of children. As a result, we now have epidemic increases in diabetes, heart disease, obesity and cancer. The commercialisation of nutrition has forced food companies to nd newer, cheaper mechanisms to increase the shelf life of food, improve colour, taste and perceived nutritional value. The result a dietary system heavily laced with preservatives, articial colourings and chemicals. Processed foods are one of the greatest dangers to ones overall health as they provide little actual nutritional value. These foods are commonly loaded with unhealthy sugars, salts and fats that create inammation, spike blood sugar and elevate blood pressure.
Instant noodles topped with MSG There are many brands of instant noodles but few will win any health food awards. The immediate danger is in the avour packet that comes with the noodles. This packet often contains monosodium glutamate or MSG and very high amounts of salt. One of the most common causes of high blood pressure and kidney disease is eating too much salt. One can incorporate instant noodles into a healthy diet by simply leaving out the avour packet. Sweet addictions The vast majority of sweets and candy are high in saturated fat and a large portion of the calories come from sugars. They are also a very poor source of vitamins and minerals. Not only is the sugar bad for ones teeth, its also a leading cause of inammation and weight gain. It is appalling to nd a small sweet packed with over 234 calories, 25g of sugar and 12g of fat. Sugar is addictive as it manipulates ones taste buds, metabolism and brain into seeking out more. Soda aecting heart beats People often drink soda in place of water. Soda has an alarming amount of sugar, calories and harmful additives that have absolutely no nutritional value. Studies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay and heart disease. The caeine found in soda can cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps and possibly even some forms of cancer. Soda also contains phosphoric acid that can interfere with the bodys ability to use calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis or softening of the bones and teeth. Phosphoric acid also neutralises the acids in the stomach making it dicult to properly utilise nutrients. Crisps ousting healthier snacks An occasional handful of crisps may not cause irreparable damage to someone consuming an otherwise healthy diet but the real dangers arise when one consumes crisps on a regular or daily basis. Crisps are typically low in vitamins and minerals, and they tend to replace things in the diet that have better nutrient values. They are typically high in fat and energy, which can raise the risk of weight gain and obesity.
Disease experts called Sunday for decisive leadership and more research funding to fend o the very real risk of an untreatable strain of tuberculosis (TB) emerging as more and more people develop resistance to existing drugs. In a series of papers in the Lancet medical journal to mark World TB Day on Sunday, they warned that health systems risked being overwhelmed by increasing numbers of drug-resistant TB patients. Already, more than 30 per cent of newly-diagnosed patients in parts of eastern Europe and central Asia have multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB, a form of the disease which does not respond to the two most potent drugs isoniazid and rifampin. There were believed to be about 630,000 MDR cases out of some 12 million TB cases in 2011. Extensively drug resistant (XDR) TB, thus far reported in 84 countries, does not respond to an even wider range of drugs. The widespread emergence of XDR tuberculosis could lead to virtually untreatable tuberculosis, wrote the authors of one study, led by Alimuddin Zumla, director of the Centre for Infectious Diseases and International Health at University College London Medical School. With ease of international travel and increased rates of MDR tuberculosis... the threat and range of the spread of untreatable tuberculosis is very real, they said. TB was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO) 20 years ago, but remains a leading cause of death by an infectious disease. The study authors urged a radical change in political and scientic thinking. The global economic crisis and reduced investments in health services threaten national tuberculosis programmes and the gains made in global tuberculosis control, they wrote. The world needs to acknowledge the serious threat of drug-resistant tuberculosis before it overwhelms health systems. Most needed are new drugs and better, quicker diagnostic tools. FYI: In 2011, 8.7 million people fell ill with TB and 1.4 million died, said the WHO. Over 95 per cent of TB deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, and it is among the top three causes of death for women aged 15 to 44. In 2010, there were about 10 million orphans who had lost their parents to TB.
As an example, one ounce or 15 to 20 crisps of a popular brand contained 10g of fat and 154 calories. Sugary cereals no better than biscuits Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It provides the energy for the day, nutrients needed to repair bodily tissues and activate ones metabolism to maintain a healthy weight. Junk food, also known as sugary cereals in the morning can do more harm than good. According to a recent study, childrens breakfast cereals should be in the chocolate biscuit aisle of supermarkets. One cup of a popular brand of childrens cereal contained more sugar than three cookies.
energy, high-sugar, low-nutrient beverages. Consumers should be urged to check the food label before purchasing any of their favourite juices. Processed meats producing cancers Many processed meats are made with unhealthy nitrates, nitrites, trans fats, saturated fats and large amounts of sodium and sugar. A recent study showed a 67 per cent increase in pancreatic cancer for people consuming moderate amounts of processed meat. The high level transfat and saturated fat content can sabotage ones heart and waistline as well. Sodium nitrite can be found in nearly every packaged meat product imaginable. Its listed on the food label of products such as bacon, breakfast sausages, dried meats, pepperoni, sandwich meats, ham and even the meats found in canned soups. Sauces and articial colourings Processed and unhealthy, just the thought of the powdered imitation sauce alone should make one cringe. These products contain excessive amounts of salts and preservatives to ensure the shelf life of the product. Articial colourings, stabilisers and emulsiers are chemicals used to make the food more attractive and palatable. Imitation powdered sauces often contain chemicals like articial dye Yellow #5 and #6. Yellow #5 is a water-soluble articial dye that is also known as Tartrazine. Other foods that contain Tartrazine includes cake, pudding, biscuits, cookies, muns, breads, pie crusts, frostings, sand so on. The problems do not stop there. Packaged sauces also contain a fattening secret known as partially hydrogenated oils. The entire process of partially hydrogenating an oil will produce unhealthy trans fats. Trans fatty acids are toxic to our systems, produce inammation and allow diseases to develop. Partially hydrogenated oils also have a negative eect on cholesterol levels as they raise LDL (bad cholesterol) and lower HDL (good cholesterol). These oils have also been linked to the development of diabetes and a variety of cancers.

Researchers looked at 50 cereals overall and 32 were too high in sugar. Even brands advertising themselves as healthy options tipped the scales. Healthy options usually indicates the fortication of vitamins or minerals. Fortification is a process of articially implanting nutrients to improve product sales. Boxed juices or boxed sugar Infants less than a year old should not drink any fruit juice, one- to six-year-olds should not exceed six ounces of fruit juice per day and older children ages seven to 18 should not consume more than eight or 12 ounces per day, ideally divided into two servings, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Sensationalist claims on the box make it dicult to gure out if the juice is actually healthy or not. Numerous studies detail the dangers of drinking too many high-

motor vehicle accidents, homicide, gun violence, suicide, cancer and drowning. This increase in deaths in younger men has been shown to be related to the spiking of the sex hormone testosterone. Testosterone is what denes men: aggressiveness, high libido and competitiveness. Researchers ascribe the male mortality to what is known as testosterone toxicity . The genetic dierence in men and women also aects death rates. Men have XY chromosomes while women have XX .These carry genetic information that make your body function well. If there is a problem in the chromosomes diseases e.g. cancer can occur. When women have one X chromosome that is abnormal, the other can use the normal gene and avoid expression of disease, On the other hand, men cannot rely on an alternative chromosome and if a gene on one of the sex chromosomes is defective, there is normally no alternative. As men age, their lifestyles in their youth determine their illnesses in their older age. Lifestyles of alcohol use, smoking, lack of exercise and poor eating habits begin to show as illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and strokes which are leading causes of death in men as they turn 50. At this point, the long term eects of testosterone appear. According to research, testosterone increases levels of the bad cholesterol and reduces levels of good cholesterol in the blood. This puts the men at greater risk of developing heart disease and stroke. The information about mens shorter lifespans can be scary, however we need to look at social factors that greatly influence mens health habits. Unbeknown to many, society plays a big role in the development of the men. One of the biggest inuences is his male counterparts or the people Wangui referred to as the boys .

on other men. This co-dependence by men has them open to inuence. However this co-dependence is not always open as society tends to misinterpret when men show aection towards each other. Men influence each other in peer groups or in cliques. Pressure from peers (age mates) is a major contributor towards mens health and their behavior. Peer groups oer a sense of feeling valued and a sense of belonging, they give one somewhere to t in, there is increased self-condence, a sense of security by being understood due to acceptance in the group. The peer group also offers a safe place to test values and
increasingly gives one a chance to practice getting along with others. They help in developing friendships, one learns to practice give and take and also not forget the influence the peer groups have in making decisions about their life. These groups can either make men or break men. They can make men live healthy lifestyles, exercise, be spiritual, work harder, be better workmates as attested by Pastor Nicholas Katale of Hope United Church in Lavington who said Men can influence each other in their friendships in various ways. Men are known to be people who are not open. They like
Theres always a big dierence in the way new born girls boys are treated even with the most equality-driven individual. Girls will be dressed in mostly pinks and boys in blues. The former will be given dolls as presents while the latter cars. These environmental dierences may play a big role in shaping the childs brain. If there are dierences in peoples brains, it might be due to how society has shaped a person, with neurons and synapses pruned away as the brain deemed them unnecessary. However, not every psychologist agrees that the environment has a major role to play in brain development. Some believe that our brains are structured at birth. When looking at Albert Einsteins brain, scientist found that it had a unique structure that was most probably already formed at birth. This theory may help to explain why we dont have many Einsteins in the world today. It is still usual to see more ladies as tailors than men and more men as mechanics than women. Theres also a stereotype of women being weak in Einsteins favourite subjects of physics and math and hence the brain structure theory can back that
up proving there may be slight dierences in the structure of the female and male brain. It may be that the rate of development between girls and boys is dierent; however, our educational system doesnt take that into account. We have seen that when a child takes up a hobby or a subject they are not yet ready to tackle, they may give up too quickly but

Promiscuity and reckless sexual behavior involving multiple partners can also be caused by inuence from peers as men dare each other or brag of their conquests. It is usually seen as uncool not to have multiple sexual partners. Pastor Katale adds I have also seen that some of the other negative inuences (of friends) have been especially in areas of relationships, marriage, work and life status . So how do we manage this pressure from peers? It is dicult but not impossible. Men are in these groups so as to t and have a
