Former Prime MinisterRaila Odinga and former
Vic e-Pres ide nt Kal onzoMusyoka have been locked outof a possible comeback to anylegislative assembly throughnominations.
A three -judge bench of theCourt of Appeal declared Sec-tion 34 (9) of the Elections Act,which allowed the nominationof failed presidential and deputypresidential candidates to Parlia-ment, unconstitutional.
Just ices Festus Azangalala,Patrick Kiage and Jamila Moham-
med dismissed an earlier ruling by Justice David Majanja, whichupheld nomination of presidentialcandidates to Parliament.
Justice Majanja, they ruled,misdirected himself in his in-terpretation and treatment of the question of special interestgroups.
The 10th Parliament hadamended the Elections Act togive a lifeline to presidentialcandidates and their runningmates who lost in elections.
According to Section 34 (9)of the amended Act, any partylist may contain a name of anypresidential or deputy presiden-tial candidate nominated for anelection.
Yesterday, the court described
this change as ‘‘a violation to allreason and logic of the rights of the marginalised by arbitrarysuperimposing well-heeled in-
dividuals in the nomination listto the disadvantage of the mar-ginalised’’. It said MPs violatedthe Constitution in making thechange to suit their friends.
“It cannot be open to anystate organ to act in a mannerthat violates the Constitution.The doctrine of parliamentarysupremacy when it legislated asit pleased is now of only histori-cal significance and it is only theConstitution which can now claimsupremacy,” they said.
The ruling affects Mr Odingaand Mr Musyoka, who have beenunder pressure from a section of their party members to consider
joining either the National As-sembly or the Senate. However,
the two leaders have repeatedlydenied claims they intend to re- join Parliament.
Also locked out are former
deputy prime minister MusaliaMudavadi, his running matein the past elections JeremiahKioni, former Gichugu MP Mar-tha Karua and her running mate,former Gatanga MP Peter Ken-neth, Prof James ole Kiyiapi, PaulMuite and Abduba Dida.
The ruling effectively locks outthe candidates from legislativeassemblies for at least five yearsunless they win a seat through a
by-election.The appeal was filed by the
Commission on the Implemen-tation of the Constitution againstthe ruling by Justice Majanja inwhich he declared that party listsfor nomination can contain names
of the presidential and deputypresidential candidates.
The CIC argued before the Appellate Court that the judgemade a mistake since the clausewas inconsistent with provisionsof the Constitution, which guaran-tees nomination of disadvantagedand marginalised groups to politi-cal seats.
The judges upheld thearguments, ruling that the Consti-tution intended that marginalisedgroups be beneficiaries of a moreinclusive political order.
The presidential and deputypresidential candidates, theysaid, were not contemplated bythe Constitution to be categorisedas “special interest groups” andthat it did not matter whether
they are the leaders or vision bearers of their political parties.“If they be what they are said
to be, there really is no existential
risk of their career or that of theirparties to be feared from theirabsence from the benches andfloors of legislative assemblies,”the judges said.
They added that Parliament’sfailure to enact laws, which wouldprotect the political rights of mar-ginalised groups, meant that itwas up to the court to take upthe mantle.
The judges faulted Justice Ma- janja’s faith in political parties toadhere to the provisions, ruling
that they did not share the faithhe placed on parties to define forthemselves what “special interestgroups” should be.
“Search an approach waswrong since a history of pof nomination to Parlishows that this well-intmethodology for inclusithose outside of the circlperennially abused to bringsons other than those inten
benefit,” the judges said.They ruled that the yout
sons with disabilities and ware the only ones that canmarginalised groups sincare the natural underdogs a
likely to be elbowed outspolitical field if the presicandidates are nominalegislative assemblies.

hursday, National Treasury Secre-ary Henry Rotich allocated Sh53.2illion for the laptops to be given totandard One pupils next year.But speaking in Migori yesterday,
Mr Sossion said: “It is a shame thath53 billion has been allocated for the
ptop project, but nothing for teach-rs’ promotions and allowances”.Universities Academic Staff Union
hairman Sammy Kubasu said thecturers will have no option but toithdraw their services if the govern-
ment fails to pay up.They are demanding Sh3.9 billion
meant to be the last phase of a salaryeal agreed on with the governmentst year after a strike.Most MPs who spoke to the Satur-
ay Nation said they would opposeny move to increase the cost of basic
commodities such as bread and milk,as is likely to happen if Parliamentpasses the contentious VAT Bill.
Also rejecting the Bill’s provision isthe lobby group, Consumer Federationof Kenya (Cofek).
Speaking of the possibility of basiccommodities prices rising, National
Assembly Minori ty Leader FrancisNyenze said the poor must be cush-ioned from extra burden, adding, anytax measures should be interrogatedto ensure the poor are not punished.
“If any measures are brought herethrough VAT that hurts the poor manwe shall reject them,” he said, add-ing: “We don’t want those who live inpoverty to be taxed harshly.”
The cost of basics
The government plans to table the Value Added Tax Bill in Parliament,whose passing would lead to an in-crease in the cost of basics such asmilk, bread, maize and wheat flour,sanitary towels and newspapers.
With maize being Kenyans’ staplefood, any increase in the tax chargedon maize flour would automatically becriticised for its possible effect on thelarge number of Kenyans who rarelygo to bed without eating ugali.
Suba MP John Mbadi said Parlia-ment will have to eliminate a numberof grey areas in the VAT Bill and ex-empt some items from tax.
He said the Bill has some errorsand Parliament must scrutinise it sothat it does not end up increasing theprice of basic goods.
“We’ll need to isolate basic com-modities so that we don’t tax them,”he said.
Speaking at Sori Secondary Schoolin Nyatike, Migori County, during anannual meeting of the local Knut
branch , Mr Sossio n sai d teac h-ers never asked for laptops in anypolicy document formulated withinthe education sector and wondered
whose idea it was.Instead, he said, the union hadasked for Sh15 billion to recruit 40,000teachers to address staff shortage.
He termed the Sh50 billion al-location for laptops as a misplacedpriority.
“We disown the government of President Kenyatta because insteadof addressing core issues, it has optedto misbehave with public funds.”
Mr Sossion faulted the Jubilee ad-ministration for “taking teachers fora ride “ and warned that the union
would not allow the government tomismanage public funds.
Knut’s rival, the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Teachers Union, hasissued a strike notice over pay ar-rears and promotions.
The laptop project was a keycampaign pledge of the new admin-istration, which was largely receivedwith scepticism.
Young government
Prof Kubasu said union leaders had,after sensing the money was not fac-tored in the estimates, met EducationCabinet Secretary Mwangi Kaimenyion Thursday morning, hoping that alast-minute decision could be made.
“But we were saddened that the budget figures announced later (byMr Rotich) did not include our al-location.”
The lecturers were paid the firstphase of the salary deal in Novem-
ber last year. Prof Kubasu said theunion leaders plan to meet with Prof Kaimenyi next week to look at ways of tackling the issue “before we ask ourmembers to stage a strike that couldhurt a young government.”
Mr Rotich said on Thursday that“there are some areas there that
we’ll have to discuss with ment in terms of having (thBill) passed.”
“That Bill, if passed, will lot in simplifying the adminisof VAT plus also helping in revenue.”
“Enacted in 1990, when the gment used to control the price ogoods, the current VAT Act is cered outdated and Finance miover the years increased the exempt goods to about 400.”

Investors in the real estatesector and on the NairobiSecurities Exchange will now

The government plans to re-ntroduce tax on proceeds fromale of property and shareshrough a Bill expected in Par-ament later this month.During the budget reading on
hursday, Cabinet Secretary forational Treasury Mr Henryotich said the governmentas reviewing the tax regime
o establish how best to earnmore revenues to meet a rising
emand for funds.

“The Government has initiatedreview of the capital gains taxnder the Income Tax Act withview to formulating modalities
or its effective enforcement.his will allow wealthier mem-
ers of our society to also maketoken contribution toward ourational development agenda,”e said during the budget
presentation in Parliament onThursday.
On Monday, experts proposed
that the reintroduction of thecapital gains tax to plug the budget deficit that now standsat 8 per cent of the Gross Do-
mestic Product.The experts from accounting
and auditing firm, PKF, noted
that the government could earnup to Sh100 billion annually fromproperty sales.
The flipside is this could push
up the cost of housing.Capital gains tax on the sale of
securities could also slow downinvestment on the stock marketaccording to analysts.
Last year, the governmentcarried out a study on how bestit would levy the tax followinga proposal in the Finance Bill(2012) to impose a levy on allinvestments.
The parties to be affected willinclude investors on the Nairobi
Securities Exchange, oil, miningand prospecting companies aswell as investors in the real es-tate sector.
Analysts say that the real es-tate sector and property dealerswill be hardest hit.
They have also indicated thata proposal to tax shares on thestock market may fail due tothe complex nature and theload of information in differenttransactions.
“When you come to shares,it is a tricky affair especially incapturing all data that occurs inindividual transactions,” AfrikaInvestment Bank market analystRonald Lugalia said.
Former finance minister Njeru Githae sought to tax investors
who acquire shares, propertyor any other investments onlyto dispose them of in less thanfive years.

Beer consumers and cigarettesmokers have a six-month
reprieve before the taxmanaids their pockets to help raiseh961 billion in revenue needed toun government.
This is the first time the governmentas failed to levy tax on the two com-
modities during the pronouncementf a new budget, even as the Cabinetecretary for the National Treasuryaid there was need to overhaul thexcise Duty Act.“Beer and cigarette takers can
ontinue having their field day, but
we will definitely adjust the taxesthrough the Excise Duty Bill,” MrHenry Rotich said during a pressconference after reading the budgetstatement on Thursday.
The Treasury will be aiming toraise an additional Sh14 billion fromthe measures to be contained in theproposed new law to make the totalcollection from excise duty to Sh85
billion in the current financial year.“We have to achieve this in order
to help plug the deficit of over Sh326 billion in the current budget and that’swhy we are working closely with the
legislators to have the laws passedquickly and preferably over thenext few months,” said Mr Rotich.The Treasury hopes to have the Billpassed by December.
Only Keg beer drinkers will beaffected, for now, after governmentintroduced a 50 per cent excise duty
by cutting by half the 100 per centtax remission previously accorded tomanufacturers.

“Other beers and cigarette priceswill remain unchanged,” said theCabinet secretary. Soft drink takersand plastic bag users will also benefit
from the reprieve.
Three months
The Treasury will be hoping toavoid last year’s tax debacle in whichformer Finance minister Njeru Githaeattempted to introduce a new methodof taxing beer every three months.
The law required the taxman to levyexcise duty on wines, spirits and beeron the retail selling price, as opposedto the factory price. This meant thatthe taxman was to sample various re-
tail prices on a quarterly basis to comeup with an average price on which theexcise duty would be based.
The Kenya Revenue Authority
termed the move “unworkable” andnever implemented it.
Domestic excise duty comprisesmainly taxes on alcohol, tobacco, softdrinks and bottled water and plastics,with the first two accounting for over90 per cent of total collections.
Investment Secretary EstherKoimett indicated that the govern-ment was seeking to harmonise thevalue added tax and excise duty lawsto reduce administration cost.

POWER TUSSLE | NPSC to meet on Monday over move as provincial chiefs recalled to Nairobi
Kimaiyo names county bossesBY ANGIRA ZADOCK
Police boss David Kimaiyo hasmoved to stamp his authority
by appointing county com-manders even as the National PoliceService Commission plans to conductinterviews for the same positions.
Inspector-General Kimaiyo named47 commanders and retained Mr Ben-son Kibue, a deputy commissioner of police, as the Nairobi County boss.
Mr Edward Njoroge Mbugua, asenior assistant commissioner of police (S/ACP), will be in charge of Mombasa, while Central deputy PPOGideon Amalla is the new MachakosCounty commander.
Buruburu OCPD Hassan Barua andNgong OCPD Simon Kiragu have beenmoved to Baringo and Kisii counties,respectively.
Mr Kimaiyo appointed a DCP,two S/ACPs, eight Assistant Com-
missioner of Police (ACPs), and 36Senior Superintendents of Police(SSPs). The ranks of DCP, S/ACP,and ACP have since been scrapped.
The appointments, in a statementdated June 14 and signed by deputyIGP Grace Kaindi, are to take effectimmediately.
But the move is likely to bringthe police boss in conflict with the
Johnson Kavuludi-led commission,which, as the law stands currently,is mandated to advertise, interview,appoint and post the commanders.
And the commission has now calleda meeting on Monday to discuss themove by Mr Kimaiyo, who is also a
member.Last month, the commission ad-
vertised for the positions of countycommanders for both the Kenya Po-lice and the Administration Police.The deadline was on May 28, and MrKavuludi said that over 300 officershad applied. The interviews werescheduled for later this month.
Mr Kavuludi had accused Mr Ki-maiyo of intimidating his officersfrom applying for the posts.
But Mr Kimaiyo opposed the move,saying he was the one to appoint thecommanders and forward the namesto the commission for approval.
Even though Mr Kimaiyo insiststhat functions such as the transferand promotion of officers lie squarelyin his office, the NPSC maintains thatthat is their role.
Section 7(2) of the National Police
Service Act dictates that all officersundergo vetting by the commissionto assess their suitability and com-petence.
A Bill that seeks to amend the Actto give the police boss powers to pro-mote, transfer and discipline officersis set to be tabled in Parliament.
Meanwhile, President Kenyattahas recalled all PPOs and provincialCID officers and their deputies toNairobi where they will join pro-vincial commissioners as regionalcommanders.

County commissioners’will keep their jobs afterthe Court of Appeal
ruled that former PresidentMwai Kibaki acted within thelaw when he appointed the re-gional bosses.
Appe lla te Judges MarthaKoome, Milton Makhandia andKairu Gatembu overturned aHigh Court ruling that nulli-fied the appointment of the 47commissioners, saying that the
former president was justified ininvoking provisions of the OldConstitutional to make the ap-pointments.
“Contrary to the High Courtfindings, Sections 23 and 24 of the former constitution were inforce when he invoked themto appoint and deploy countycommissioners. The sectionsremained in force until the firstGeneral Election under the Con-stitution was held on March 4,”ruled the judges. The Appellate
Court ruled that since Mr Kibakiacted under provisions of theformer constitution, there wasno requirement for him to ful-fil Article 27 of the constitutionwhich requires balanced regionaland gender representation.
The decision was welcomed by the Association of MuslimsOrganisation in Kenya (Amok)through its director-generalFazul Mohammed who saidcounty commissioners willensure security and stability incounties.
“ This is a huge responsibil-ity which cannot be left in thehands of politicians (governors)and can only be handled by anadministrator,” said Mr Fazul.
High Court Judge MumbiNgugi last year nullified Mr
Kibaki’s appointment of thecommissioners, ruling that theformer president did not have thepower to appoint or deploy andthat the appointments violatedthe constitutional requirementfor gender equality and re-gional balance. She also ruledthat the appointments violatedthe provision in the National
Accord and Reconciliation Actwhich required him to consultwith then Prime Minister RailaOdinga before making such
appointments. The judgmentset a collision between the At-torney General and the Ministryof Internal Security. Whereasthe AG advised Mr Kibaki torevoke the appointments and
declined to appeal on behalf of the government, the ministryhired a private lawyer, Mr KibeMungai to argue its case beforethe Appellate Court in a movethat raised questions on whoshould handle court cases on
behalf of the government.The Appellate Judges however
settled the dispute, ruling thatsince the Internal Security minis-ter was a party in the High Courtcase, he was entitled to appealeven without the AG’s consent.

Over the past 50 years, Kenya’sagricultural sector has un-dergone some fundamental
hanges in some sub-sectors but theverall structure of production hasemained largely the same.
During the early years of independ-
nce, coffee was the most importantoreign exchange earner.
Today, the most important ex-ort crops are tea and horticulturalroducts—particularly cut flowers.owever, the production of key
oodstuff—specifically cereals—maize,heat and rice, has been sluggish.Given the fact that most Kenyans
re dependent on agriculture , raisinghe productivity in the food sub-sec-or is pivotal to the well-being of enyans. This is a major challengeonsidering Kenya’s limited arable
land, scarce water resources anddominance of rain-fed agriculture.
Economic development essentiallyentails increasing output for givenunits of resource. In agriculture, thismeans raising the output per unit of land and also per unit of labour em-ployed in agriculture.
Since independence, the produc-tion of maize, wheat and rice hasincreased but only marginally. Forexample, in 1963/1964, maize pro-duction was about 1.5 billion metrictonnes. By 2013/14, production wasclose to 2.7 billion metric tonnes.
Rice production was just about10,000 metric tons and increasedto about 40,000 metric tons in
2011. Wheat production was about100,000 metric tons in 1963/64 andincreased to about 300,000 metrictons in 2011/12.
But looking at the gross produc-tion of major foodstuff is misleading.
A better indicator is the per capitaproduction so as to take into accountof the increase in population.
In per capita terms, the productionof the various foodstuffs has actuallydeclined. Per capita maize productionin 1963/64 was 0.16 metric tonnesand this declined by 50 per cent to
0.08 metric tonnes in 2011/12. Theper capita wheat production hasdeclined even more dramatically.The overall production of the majorfoodstuffs is the result of a combi-nation of factors. The early years of independence were marked by various
government programmes that contrib-uted to the steady increase in output.These included access to subsidisedfinance especially for inputs, expan-
sion of the land under cultivation andextension services and government
buying and selling of output throughmarketing boards. During the mar-ket reforms period of the 1980s and1990s, these supportive programmeswere terminated or radically scaled
back with adverse consequences interms of production.
One important feature of the trendsof major crops is that production ismarked by volatility—with outputincreases followed by declines. Theprimary reason for this volatility is the
fact that Kenya’s agriculture is rwith poor rain seasons being ated with poor harvests. Altthe country has over time incthe amount of irrigated land, tgation schemes are poorly mainand there is potential for morto be put under irrigation.
The other crucial factor exp
trends in output is the use of minputs especially fertilisers, pesand hybrid seeds which are crumodernisation of agriculture.
To a large extent, producin Kenya is traditional and athe productivity per unit of lamains very low as compared tcountries. A particularly troubfeature is the low use of chemiclisers. Asian countries have inctheir use of fertilisers dramaticuse of the plant food in Ken
been fairly flat over the last 50Consequently, Thailand’s perproduction of rice is 250 timof Kenya.
Also, farmers have low accand rarely use hybrid seeds. Aimportant aspect of the low ption of food has to do with to markets. Those farmers w
least produce do not have to markets. Finally, Kenyan fincur huge costs associated witharvest losses. And the sagaNational Cereals and Produceshould worry the Jubilee goveras it has serious implicationsfood sector.

ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda has finally re-vealed the identities of
our witnesses in the casegainst President Kenyatta.The move appears to be
n response to a request byresident Kenyatta’s lawyers
o have the case pushed fromuly 9 to January 2014 onrounds that they needed
more time to investigate theredibility of some witnesseshose identities had not beenisclosed.In a communication to theial chamber, Ms Bensouda
aid she had on Wednesdayisclosed to Mr Kenyatta’sefence team the identitiesf witnesses 430, 494, 506nd 510.“For the sake of com-
leteness, the Prosecutionisclosed Witness 494’sandwritten notes createduring his interview withhe Prosecution,” Ms Ben-ouda informed the Trialhamber.She also forwarded tran-
cripts of interviews with
witness simply known asWitness 217 together withcreening notes which hadeen concealed to protect the
identity of witness 430.“The effect of the above
is that the defence now hasun-redacted versions of thetranscripts,” Ms Bensoudastated.
In his application to thetrial judges, Mr Kenyattahad argued that his defenceteam still needed more timeto investigate the “credibilityand substantive allegationsmade by five prosecution wit-
nesses whose identities andunredacted transcripts havestill not been disclosed” tothe defence.
He suggested that thetrial be pushed to Januarynext year but this has beenopposed by the prosecutorwho contends that it is not
justified.In the event that the trial
chamber accedes to Mr Keny-atta’s request, the Prosecutorsuggested that they set thestart date to immediatelyafter September 9 whenthe Court’s summer recessends.
Deputy President WilliamRuto who also faces chargesat the ICC successfullypushed for the postpone-ment of his case from May28 to September 10, a dayafter the Court reconvenesafter the summer recess.
Ms Bensouda acknowl-edged that Mr Kenyatta wasentitled to an adequate periodto prepare but argued thatan additional seven monthswould constitute “superflu-ous amounts of time.”
Adequate time
The Prosecutor notedthat Mr Kenyatta had al-ready been granted threeadditional months from theprevious start date of Aprilso he should be able toadequately prepare before
July 9.“The Defence bears the
burden of justifying any ad-ditional time over and abovethat period. The seven points
raised in the AdjournmentSubmission fail to satisfythat burden,” Ms Bensoudaargued.

Human rights violationscommitted by formerPresident Moi’s regime
continue to pile the burden ontaxpayers after a court orderedthe government to pay threeformer victims Sh32 million.
The High Court yesterday de-clared that state security agentsand institutions “repeatedly andgrossly violated fundamentalrights and freedoms” of Gitobu Imanyara, Njehu Gatabaki andBedan Mbugua.
Having been unlawfully ar-rested, detained, tortured andsubjected to inhuman treatment
during the agitation for demo-cratic reforms – “the SecondLiberation” – Mr Imanyara has
been awarded Sh15 million.Mr Gatabaki, who suffered
similar violations as the Editor-in-Chief of the Financemagazine,will be compensated Sh10 mil-lion, while Mr Mbugua, who wasalso a journalist, was awarded
Sh7 million. The three sued thegovernment in 2010 at the HighCourt in Nairobi.
The government admitted li-ability for the violation of theirrights but opposed hefty com-pensation on the grounds thatdoing so would hurt taxpayers.
In the suit, Mr Imanyara hadnarrated how, after a series of unfair treatment, State agents
re-arrested him in 1990 and bundled him into the boot of a car to Industrial Area Prisonwhere he was ordered to lie ina van and was trampled on andassaulted. He was later trans-ferred to Nyayo House and putin a waterlogged cell for 10 dayswhere his health deteriorated, hischest and ears were blocked andhis nails fell off.
Mr Gatabaki claimed he suf-fered the violations at differenttimes between 1990 and 2002,when he was arrested and held invarious prisons under degradingconditions. He was the Editor inChief of the Finance Magazine,which was raided in 1990 and50,000 copies confiscated.
He claims he was targeted be-cause he was strong advocate forgood governance and champi-oned constitutional reforms.
Mr Mbugua met his troubleswith the state, first as an editor of Beyondmagazine and later as aneditor at the People newspaper.He claims he was harassed, ar-rested and detained many times
between 1994 and 1998.
Other victims who have beenrecently awarded by court in-clude Otieno Makonyango (Sh20million), Rumba Kinuthia (Sh1.5million), Harun Thungu Wakabaand 21 others (each was awarded
between Sh1 million and Sh3 mil-lion), Koigi Wamwere (Sh2.5million) and Miguna Miguna(Sh1.5 million).

“In exercise of powersconferred by section 10 (i)of the Tana and Athi RiversDevelopment Authority Act,the Cabinet Secretary forEnvironment and NaturalResources revokes the ap-pointment of Abdul Agonga,as Managing Director witheffect from 14th June,
2013,” said a notice dated June 11.
The cancellation of Mr Ago nga ’s appoi ntmentcould bring to a close a long-drawn Court saga involving

The decision saw thetwo parties engage in a

ectations on security.The people whose family members are butchered by
rmed raiders in their homes or victims of the terror at-acks in Nairobi and Mombasa, will not be bothered byoncerns within the police leadership that the force gotnly Sh67 billion to carry out its vital duty of protectinghe lives and property of Kenyans.
The government, we believe, would have had no problemwith granting the Sh134 billion sought by Inspector-Gen-ral David Kimaiyo, knowing the key role the force haso play in ensuring law and order to enable the nation toevelop. The economy, as National Treasury Cabinet Sec-etary Henry Rotich succinctly put it, will rely heavily onmproved security. A people constantly under siege fromrmed criminals and other vermin cannot be expectedo freely go about their productive activities.However, the police chief and his team will appreciate
hat it is not only the security sector whose requests for
unding have been slashed. The Budget is tight for all,with massive cuts having been effected in other areasn a bid to meet a huge shortfall. The police and otherectors will have to go back to the drawing board toevise their projections and be able to operate within
what is available.Cabinet Secretary Rotich is certainly not a security
rofessional, but he has a pretty good idea on what IGPKimaiyo and his team need to give priority to. Theyhould increase patrols, provide equipment and motorehicles, research on crime trends and build houses forolice officers. This is the best way to give the public anssurance on their safety and also boost the morale of he officers to carry out their vital but risky duty.
The general improvement in security around the coun-ry, with the recent mysterious killings in Bungoma andusia having been curbed, is proof of the force’s increasingffectiveness. However, much more work still needs toe done, especially to prevent the increasing incidentsf grenade attacks by terrorists allied to Somalia’s Al-habaab.
But even as we expect the officers to do more, commu-ity support is vitally important in policing as the forceannot cover every spot to protect everybody.
No room for power fights
Y esterday’s Court of Appeal decision that upheldthe role of county commissioners has set aninteresting stage in their already uneasy rela-
onship with the 47 governors. The ruling that formerresident Mwai Kibaki acted within the law by making
hese appointments in the twilight of his leadership,as effectively secured the county commissioners’
obs.It is bound to put a new spring in their step that could
ring to the fore the tension that has been simmeringince the governors took office, following the March 4lection.But even before this decision was made, President
Kenyatta seemed ready to see the commissioners worklongside the governors, as the new governance struc-ure takes shape. During the Madaraka Day celebrations,he commissioners were visible as the President’s repre-entative in the counties. Of course, this has remained aontroversial issue, as the critics see this as evidence of reluctance to fully embrace the devolved system. As matters stand now, the commissioners are legally
n office and the governors cannot just wish them away.herefore, both officials will have find a way to accom-
modate each other as they exercise their authority inhe counties.

POINT | George Kegoro
W hile on a visit tothe United States,the chairman of
the Electoral and Bounda-ries Commission, IssackHassan is reported to haveacknowledged that Kenyanshave ‘resentment and anger’over the management of theGeneral Election.
He also admitted thatthere were shortcomings onthe part of the IEBC in themanner in which it managedthe elections. Hassan now
recognises that the com-mission took too ambitiousan approach in managingthe March 4 election, citingthe breakdown of electronicvoter identification devicesand the computer systemfor reporting results.
He is reported to havesaid that the IEBC shouldhave carried out moreconsultations about thetechnology it deployed inthe elections and tested it inadvance.
Hassan also said the com-mission should have donea better job of managingpublic expectations on howit was going to run the elec-tions.
He said the IEBC had
learnt lessons, which will beapplied in future elections.
Where do the remarks by the chairman leave thecountry?
In the safety of a foreigntrip, Hassan is now accept-ing blame for things that hedenied at all material times,including during the actualelections. In court duringthe election petitions filedagainst the presidentialelection results, Hassan andthe IEBC asserted that thefailures that he now acceptshad not taken place, and
that the IEBC ran free andfair elections.
In his world, there aremultiple truths regardingthe management of the elec-tions, depending on whataudience he is addressing.This is frustrating because
with constant shifting of goalposts, it will not bepossible to agree on how
to overcome the difficultiesthat the last elections rep-resent.
As the history of thiscountry shows, electionsmatter. The post-electionviolence emanated froman electoral dispute. Also,after the 1988 Mlolongovoting, which the Kanu regime used to impose itspreferred leadership in sec-tions of the country whereit was unpopular, there wasa groundswell of ill-willtowards the government,culminating in the streetriots of 1990 and 1991.
At that time, the ‘re-sentment and anger’ thatHassan now acknowledgeswas most evident in central
Kenya, where Kanu had im-posed leaders on the people.
In four years, Kenyawill hold another set of elections, which will be in-formed by the unansweredquestions surrounding thelast vote.
It is obvious that therewill need to be significantreforms at the IEBC aheadof those elections. It is notpossible, however, for theIEBC to reform itself, givenits inherent self-interest andalso the constant shiftingof positions that it has beenengaged in regarding theelections.
What is needed at thistime is an independent of-ficial inquiry into the affairs
of the IEBC, and into themanner in which it con-
ducted the last electioIn the absence of su
inquiry, the Law Socie
Kenya has announcedwill investigate the coof the last elections.
While this is to be eaged and supported, inot a substitute for anficial probe. The methcarrying out such a reis through a commissinquiry. In law, such amission is appointed bPresident.
Since the Presidenthis party participated last elections, it wouldnecessary for other plin the same ballot to hconfidence in the comsion of inquiry. This conly be generated if thother players are allowrepresentation in the
mission of inquiry.The commission sh
have the mandate to lcomprehensively into aspects of the manageof the elections, and sreport within a short pof time, say six-to-eighmonths.
Last-minute reformcurse of Kenya’s recentoral history, will be avif the country takes acwhile there is still timimplement any agreemreached.
The appointment ofcommission of inquirysave the IEBC from thforlorn efforts it is curmaking in purporting form itself.

DIFFERENT STROKES | Gabriel Dolan
Sunday, January 30, 1972is a day engraved in thememory of Irish people.
n that day British para-rooper soldiers shot dead 14narmed human rights dem-nstrators and injured dozensthers in Derry City. It took
wo inquires and 38 years be-ore the British government inhe person of Prime Ministeravid Cameron apologisednambiguously for the ‘unjus-fied and unjustifiable killings’.Early this year, compensa-
on of $80,000 was offered toach victim’s family but thatesture has been rejected asnadequate.
Last week, Mr Cameronelegated his foreign secretary
William Hague to announcehat each of the 5,228 Kenyansnjoined to the KHRC case of orture and illegal detentionom six decades ago would re-eive a paltry $4,000 each. Heroceeded to render a ‘sincereegret’ for those events. Theut-of-court settlement was
welcomed by the legal teamsn Kenya and Britain and by
many of the torture survivors.But many found the an-
nouncement a distasteful anddisgraceful ending to what hadstarted out as a noble project
by KHRC and the torture sur-vivors. That Mr Cameron didnot deem it necessary to takepersonal responsibility wastelling in itself, while a ‘sincereregret’ is a long way short of an apology. It seemed to methat Mr Hague was merelyregretting having to use suchexcessive force rather thatgenuinely feeling shame andsorrow for the rape, detention
and torture of Kenyans.Paul Muite dismissed the
payment grievances arguingthat the public acknowledg-ment was the key elementin the settlement. But whenvictims have been denied jus-tice for 60 years, when theylanguish in poverty and carrythe scars of torture, castra-
tion and rape in their bodieswhat sort of compensation isSh300,000?
In 2003 Libya paid $10 mil-lion to each of the families of the Lockerbie plane bombingand more recently Britainpaid a Libyan dissident $3.3for rendition and torture. TheHigh Court in Kenya grantedsurvivors of Nyayo ChambersSh2 million each. Monetarycompensation is not every-thing but it is new beginning if you live in destitution.
Then there is the issue of the monument that Britainwants to erect in Nairobi. Onewould hope that the victimswould be part of the designteam and perhaps anothermonument might be erected
in Trafalgar Square. Kenyanshardly need reminding of the
Emergency that resulted in thedeaths of 50,000 Kenyans and32 settlers. However, the Brit-ish public need a monumentof shame to the horrors of empire building and the pricelocal communities paid.
The rushed out-of-court
settlement was a prelude tothe enactment of the Justiceand Security Act, 2013 whichcomes into law next month inBritain. Among other thingsit permits secret courts ‘in thepublic interest’ which is clearlyintended to conceal state re-sponsibility for human rightsviolations of this nature.
Two weeks ago, the UNCommittee against Torturereprimanded Britain for itsfailure to investigate historicaltorture in Northern Irelandand for its counter-terrorismmethods of today. Makes you think that there is a secrettorture policy in Britain andthat is why apologies are notforthcoming and compensa-tion is paltry.
What an empty apology from Britain!

Someone needs to ask these people if they tthey are on Piccadilly Street for them to introMonopoly money into the economy.
They say Bangla-Pesa forms a buffer againstuations in the money supply due to uncertainin remittances, weather, holidays, sending chito school, political turmoil and so on. Who nesomething like that? Next, there will be MathPesa and there is no telling where it will end.
While the Cabinet secretary for Treasury ischanging laws to encourage investors to put tmoney in the East Africa’s stock exchanges, t
business people of Bangladesh are issuing thown currency and pretending it is only a promsory note. Not that you can buy a Senator Kegit, even with a 50 per cent tax cut on it .
The 50 per cent tax cut on Senator Keg is m

And this at a time when Kenya needs to spSh1.6 trillion! The country has a Sh1.8 trillion— a trillion borrowed from outside and Sh800lion at home. Still, the women business owneBangladesh, who live below the bread line, docare. They want to use Bangla-Pesa to pay forwater, beer, washing clothes, tailoring, cobblemanual labour, motorcycle rides and mechanirepairs.
Bangla-Pesa claims to utilise excess capacitincrease daily sales and spending in BangladeThe people behind it need to be interrogated why they have excess capacity in the first plac

These are people sabotaging the Sh4.9 billischools laptops project; they do not want to sport the Sh8.6 billion for youth polytechnics,care nothing for the Higher Education LoansSh4.9 billion to support university learning.
They are indifferent to the need for Sh10 bifor primary education just because they do noprimary schools. And they have no interest inSh8 billion irrigation projects.

BUDGET | Magesha Ngwiri
It is unbelievable that such ayoung government can harboura death-wish. Even if desperate
times call for desperate measures,raising the price of maize-flour by16 per cent can only be describedas potentially suicidal.
That is what a Bill before Parlia-ment proposes to do. It should beshot down promptly.
Apparently, the government in-tends to table the Value Added TaxBill (2012), which will slap a 16 percent levy on basic food commodi-ties, namely unga, bread, milk andrice. On top of that, all farm inputs,which were heretofore zero-rated,will also be taxed.
Among those pushing for thismeasure are the new Cabinet Sec-retary for the National Treasury, MrHenry Rotich, and the Kenya Rev-
enue Commission director-general,Mr John Njiraini.
Now, these two gentlemen arequite knowledgeable in their profes-sions, one a seasoned accountantand the other an economist of nomean repute. They have probablydone their math and concludedthat this country will benefit enor-mously should Parliament endorsethis Bill in its entirely.
I am no economist, but I highlydoubt that the majority of Kenyanswill welcome with glee any kind of price increase in basic food itemswhich they can hardly afford in thefirst place. This is not populism; itis the reality.
Let us suppose a packet of ungacosts Sh100, which seems to be theaverage. The majority of Kenyans
— we are talking about 26 millionsouls — cannot afford that amount, because this is what they earn daily.
All they can afford to buy is half that amount at Sh50, and spreadout the rest of their daily earningson bus fare, cooking fat, paraffinfor the stove and so on — the wholegamut of the “kadogo economy”.
What is left for them to live on?The jobless, low-income earners,
and even the lower middle classescould not give a hoot whether theprices of computers, software, andeven electricity went up. They willnot pour into the streets if waterdrilling service tax or airport park-ing fees go through the roof. Butthey care deeply what their childrenwill eat in the evening.
Granted, a 16 per cent tax on
previously exempted food itemswill add a few more billions tothe public coffers. It will also give
the taxman an easier time for, ap-parently, he has been spendingsleepless nights trying to figure outhow to refund VAT to businesspeo-ple. But at what cost?
This measure may turn out to bethe costliest gaffe of this admin-istration in terms of social unrestin the short term, and a hugelyretrogressive step for the economyin the long run. When the peopledecide they have nothing left tolose, the consequences will be cata-strophic for everyone.
Instead of pushing to the wallthe majority of Kenyans who arealready wallowing in the mire of deprivation, the government shouldexplore innovative ways of soakingthe super-rich and the modestly af-fluent for the common good.
This may sound simplistic, but it
is common sense. The people leastlikely to revolt due to the rumblingof their empty bellies are the oneswho earn a decent living. And inany case, they are a tiny minority.
Having said that, I don’t buy theargument that slapping a 16 percent tax across the board and thenseeking ways to cushion the poorthrough subsidies is the most effi-cient, or effective, thing to do. It is,actually, sheer sophistry.
Three years ago, the governmentcame up with a hare-brained sub-sidy programme in which a packetof unga would sell at two differ-ent prices — one for the poor andthe higher one for the rest — andwhat happened? Total chaos. A few plucky fellows minted mil-lions though. Is that what we really
want?

a remarkable break with customary use. The bthen, is that, through it, Arma is trying to makpoint.
Another memorable example is found in theof another West African novelist. The noun “dard” in Amos Tutuola’s title Palm Wine Drinka
does not exist in ordinary English. But Palm W Drinkard is not written in ordinary English. Toften coins his own words, and with the ease Lewis Carroll in the poem “Jabberwocky” (in Through The Looking-glass).

And Tutuola breaks English grammar with joyful abandon and scornful laughter of Okotp’Bitek in full flight in the telling of an Acholi tale. But, in this way, Tutuola brings his wholliterary scheme into line with his Nigerian motongue and culture. What would have happeneknow-it-all editor had changed drinkard to “drard” or simply “drinker” (the former being onthe ordinary English words for a sot, a habitudrunken person)?

Moral message
For their drinking is always deeply intertwinwith the ethnic community’s daily work rhythIt is the ritual unction and magic with which clective work is inspirited and collective living cemented and celebrated.
It is certain — I reiterate — that, by coiningadjective “beautyful” for his title, Armah is sening across a certain social or moral or intellecmessage. That is why it was disgusting that, iarticle in last Saturday’s Standard, the writer —was it perhaps the sub-editor? — “corrected”

W hat is NelsonMandela’s legacyto Kenya? He
helped to restore ournational consciousnessregarding the contribu-tion of the Mau Mau toour liberation struggleas well as that of other
Africans. When he vis-ited Kenya in July 1990,shortly after he wasreleased from imprison-ment, he inquired aboutthe location of the graveof Field Marshall DedanKimathi.
He also asked for thewhereabouts of his widowMukami as well as Gen-eral China, one of the keyleaders of the Mau Mau
uprising. General China(Waruhiu Itote) died on
April 30, 1993.Mandela, born only two
years earlier than DedanKimathi, told thousandsof Kenyans who flockedto hear him speak atKasarani Stadium: “Inmy 27 years of imprison-ment, I always saw theimage of fighters suchas Kimathi, China, andothers as candles in mylong and hard war againstinjustice.”
Speaking in front of agiant portrait of PresidentDaniel arap Moi, he con-tinued: “It is an honourfor any freedom fighter
to pay respect to suchheroes.”The speech caused
discomfort and major
embarrassment to Presi-dent Moi who, like JomoKenyatta before him,had refused to publicly
acknowledge the Mau Mau as national heroesand Kimathi as a legen-dary figure who inspiredother freedom fighters in
Africa.The administrations of
Kenyatta and Moi main-tained the ban on theMau Mau, imposed bythe British colonialists in1952. Kimathi remainedan unsung hero, hisremains buried in an un-marked grave known onlyto the British.
But the rest of Africacontinued to pay hom-age to the Mau Mau, whofought the only liberationwar in Africa that re-
ceived no outside help. AsRaphael Njoroge observesin his book Education for
Renaissance in Africa pub-
lished in 2004, the Mau Mau, who took an oath todie for their convictions,won the hearts of many
freedom fighters in otherparts of Africa for theirundaunted spirit and self-sacrifice for the liberationof their people.
To the Mau Mau fight-ers, being imprisoned,detained, killed, torturedand maimed meant noth-ing. That kind of spiritwas adopted by freedomfighters in Zimbabwe,Mozambique, Angola, Na-mibia and particularly inSouth Africa.
The Mau Mau libera-tion story inspired notonly Mandela and other
African freedom fighters but also the literature of liberation.
Josiah Mwangi Kari-uki, popularly known as JM Kariuki, was the firstto write his memoirs
about his experiences inthe liberation struggle.His classic Mau Mau De-tainee, published in 1963,set the pattern for otherliberation memoirs suchas Mandela’s Long Walkto Freedom (1995), John
Ya-Otto’s Battlefront Na-mibia (1982) and MosesDlamini’s Robben Island
Hell-Hole (1980).It is also noteworthy
that Dedan Kimathi’sworld view is pretty muchreflected by that of Man-dela. One of the oftenquoted statements fromKimathi says: “The jour-ney to freedom is full of sacrifices, tears, hunger,clothes full of lice, blood
and death.”Nelson Mandela said
during his 1963 RivoniaTrial: “I have cherishedthe ideal of a democraticand free society in whichall persons live togetherin harmony and withequal opportunities. It isan ideal which I hope tolive for and achieve. Butif needs be, it is an idealfor which I am preparedto die.”
Mandela, no doubt,would readily agree withKimathi who also said: “Iconsider myself a great
African patriot fighting,not for the liberation of Kenya alone, but for East
Africa and the rest of thecontinent.”

LETTER FROM AMERICA | Randall Smith
W e must let go of Madiba.
Not his memory. Not his legacy.Not his accomplishments. But we
must be willing to let him leave us.This past week, hundreds of reporters
ave staked out the hospital where he iseing treated in South Africa for a seriousng infection. I do not know why it takes
00 reporters to tell us that a man is aliver dead.The real story lies outside of the hospital
rounds and rests in a continent, whichas been too often characterised by apart-eid, human tragedy and conflict. The real
Mandela story is that Africans, by work-ng together, can change their world – andave.Look at Kenya. The middle class, which
sed to be virtually non existent, may sooneach 20 percent of the population. There
a demand for quality on all levels inmany African countries, and there is a bur-eoning educational system to support theansformation.My suspicion is all of this would have
appened, but not as fast without Mandela.his past week, I was at one of the top uni-ersities in Asia. The students are brilliant,ained in everything from engineering
o high technology. But they have been
urprised by my stories of a prosperingfrica. I told the students that I met the
leader who was called the Nelson Mandelaof Korea in 2007. His name was Kim Dae-
Jung. Like Mandela, he had been jailed byhis adversaries and was almost killed. Hewas greatly misunderstood by many Ko-reans, because he wanted to pursue peacewith North Korea. In fact, many thought hewould destroy South Korea if ever elected.
But he did not. In fact, he won the NobelPeace Prize for pursuing what was knownas the Sunshine Policy, which createdfactories in North Korea, encouraged vis-its between the North and the South andmany economic activities.
I talked to him shortly before he died.His message was simple: South Korea mustcontinue to work for peace and to strivefor the unification of the Korean peninsula.Like Mandela, he was not rich – just verydetermined with an intuitive knowledge of people. And he was influenced by Madiba.
Mandela is not without his heroes. Oneof the biggest was a poor Indian lawyer,
who found his passion in South Africa.Trained in London - and a friend of writ-ers like Henry David Thoreau - this lawyercould not find legitimate work in his owncountry and so he headed to Africa inhopes of establishing himself.
Mahatma Ghandi quickly found his life’swork. He was thrown off a South African
train because he refused to give up his seat.That one incident helped him realise thatdiscrimination was widespread.
So he spent 20 years of his life in South Africa fighting discrimination on everylevel, and molding his non-violent strat-egy that he later used to throw the Britishout of India. Along the way, he inspired ayoung man, Nelson Mandela.
Two days before Ghandi was assassi-nated in January 1948, he said: “If I am todie by the bullet of a mad man, I must doso smiling. There must be no anger withinme. God must be in my heart and on mylips.” Thank God, Mandela will die muchmore peacefully. In the decades to come,his spirit will continue to lift the continent.New industries will be born, and new lead-ers will be found.
But none will quite be like Mandela inthe memories of those who lived throughhis time.
Long live Madiba, you did us all proud

President Uhuru Keny-atta last week metrepresentatives from
software giant, Microsoft,and asked them to help setup the infrastructure for thelaptop project for childrenentering class one next year.
The president insistedthat the government wouldnot allow foreign content to
be dumped in the country,and that Kenyans “will be
facilitated to develop localcontent.”
What baffles observers inthe publishing industry isthat there has been plentyof political talk about it,
but the government hasremained very economicalwith clear details in termsof policy directives.
What content will be in-stalled in the laptops? Whowill develop the contentand when this will be done?
What measures are in placeto protect the children fromunscrupulous content de-velopers who may want tocash in?
A project of this magni-tude needs proper planning
to avoid unseemly teethingproblems. The experiencewith the biometric voteridentification systems thatfailed in the last generalelections is still fresh inKenyans’ minds.
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development is
not helping matters either.Recently, it announced thatit had already developedthe content and was wait-ing for January to send it toschools. Which guidelinesdid KICD use to developcontent, and why is theinstitute being allowed todo so to the exclusion of other players in the indus-
try? This is one reason theKenya Publishers Associa-tion reject KICD’s moves.
President Kenyatta alsostressed that Kenyans will
be empowered to developlocal content.
When will they be facili-tated, by which government
agency and in what form?Has the KICD already beenfacilitated to do the workor do they know somethingthat other players is the
book industry do not know?Publishers and other
interested players intend-ing to develop content areclearly at a loss. The gov-ernment should provide
answers to these and otherquestions that threaten todog this ambitious project.
I can bet my last coin thatthe matter will remain inlimbo until January, whensomeone will suddenly startdoing things in a hurry.

Protesters should not use blood in demonstrations
Odinga should live like thepoor instead of complaining
Our Constitution is loud on freedom of demonstration and picketing but silent onthe manner in which they should be under-taken. Perhaps this is why we see extremeprotests against MPs. There are people whosicken at the sight of blood. I can only im-
agine how they felt when protesters poured blood during the two “Operation OccupyParliament” demonstrations. I beseech thecivil society to conduct their protests inempathetic and mindful ways. But sincethere are no laws that govern them, theyshould carry a “viewer discretion” sign.

How Green Should Economic GrowthBe?
First dilemma. When your countrysells its oil, copper, or timber, it is actuallyswapping one asset for another: out goes anatural resource, in comes cash. Your na-tional net worth has not changed. Now, if thecash is invested wisely, you might be betteroff — rather than leaving hydrocarbons, min-erals, or trees sitting idle, you would havehealthier children, more educated workers,
better infrastructure and so on. But doesthat mean that you should drill, mine or cut-down as much, and as soon as possible?
Second dilemma. An investor is about to build a huge clothing factory that will employthousands of poor people. These are well-paying jobs, badly-needed tax revenues, andif things go well, a shot at attracting other in-vestors. There is a catch though: the factory’srunoff will slowly pollute the local river. In 30years, its water will be foul and unusable. Butpeople are suffering now. Would you join ademonstration to stop the construction of thenew factory?
Third dilemma. A populous develop-ing country finds a way to quickly grow itseconomy. Its billion citizens begin to de-mand condos, cars, refrigerators, and steaks.Producing all this for them will add tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere that isalready too warm, because citizens in richcountries have been buying condos, cars,refrigerators, and steaks for decades. Inthe end, global warming will hurt everyone
— catastrophic floods, terrible droughts, anddevastating storms. Should internationalorganisations persuade that developing coun-try to slow down the pace of its economicgrowth?
Fourth dilemma. A hydro-power dam couldsolve your country’s perennial lack of elec-tricity, and unleash its industrial potential.This will surely be good for the environment,
because there will be less need to burn coal.Engineers are happy with the project’s safetystandards, and bankers are lined up to fi-nance it.
But just when the bulldozers are about tomove in, someone finds out that the dam’sreservoir will submerge the habitat of a par-ticular type of squirrel that cannot surviveanywhere else. That species will be gone for-ever. What do you do?
Final dilemma. Your economy dependsheavily on imported oil from countries whosepolitics are unstable. The oil is then used to
fuel cars whose emissions ruin the air. A localentrepreneur suddenly invents a new technol-ogy to extract gas from underground rocks.The procedure sounds brutal: you drill downdeep and then blast the rocks with high-pres-sure water and chemicals. Out comes a lotof gas that can replace the dirty oil. But you are unsure what the long-term effects of allthat subterranean blasting will be. Contami-nated ground water? Leaks? Earthquakes?Even the name of the excavation technique— “fracking” — sounds a bit scary. Do you shut it down and continue to burn foreign oil,or do you try the new technology?
By now, you should be struggling with theeconomic, social, geopolitical, ecological, andtechnological content of these dilemmas. If so, welcome to the quest for “green growth”,that is, for the right balance between mate-rial progress and environmental protection.There is much debate over where, and how tostrike that balance. The debate boils down to
societal preferences and moral choices—so,of course, there is little agreement. The cari-
cature of the heartless economist and t
tree-hugging environmentalist shoutingeach other comes to mind. But don’t thin your intellectual towel just yet. Well one gets to extreme dilemmas, there is that can be done — based on common s— to make growth greener without makslower. There are win-wins.
To start with, governments could putin the subsidies they give out. The pricgasoline, electricity, water, and even fooare usually subsidised — this is true in countries, developed and developing. Bcause people don’t pay for the true costwhat they consume, they have less inceto conserve — why would you unplug ychargers at night if the electricity bill isdiculously cheap? These price subsidienot just inefficient but also unfair: whothe biggest cars and lives in the biggesthouses? Certainly not the poor. Still, byestimates, the world spends about a tril
dollars a year on this kind of giveawaysIndustries could be much faster in ad
ing cleaner technologies that already ex Why aren’t they? Because they don’t alhave to pay for the environmental damthey cause. Sure, when a giant multinatcompany spills oil in the coastal watersrich country, it i s held accountable. Butday-to-day business, there is plenty of ption for which nobody pays. Think of ca

The government has givenforeign investors a nod totake a larger control of localinsurance companies as itseeks to enhance insurancecoverage in the country.
On Thursday, NationalTreasury Cabinet SecretaryHenry Rotich asked a parlia-mentary committee to accepthis proposal and remove therestriction on foreign owner-ship for insurance agents inorder deepen insurancepenetration.

The Insurance Act stipu-lates that a minimum of onethird of the paid-up capital of an insurer be owned by Ken-yan citizens or wholly owned

Cargo transporters are upin arms over the proposed 1.5per cent import levy saying itwill hurt consumers, even asexperts warned that the newmeasure may prove difficultto enforce.
During his budget statement
on Thursday, Cabinet SecretaryHenry Rotich said the govern-ment will soon impose a 1.5 percent levy on all imports to fundthe construction of a standardgauge railway from Mombasato Kisumu.
The Finance Bill 2013indicates that the levy will

However, the Kenya In-ternational Freighters and

They stormed the Kenyanliterary scene in their20s and established their
niches in the very competitivefield. One has been dubbed a
literary gangster, another aninnovative writer who has mademoney where others only see afinancial desert.
Ask them about their writingand they will say it is their life, itfuels the car and buys the food,they breathe it, they live it andthey upset the status quo for it.
On the street, however, you will be told that they are the future of Kenya’s literature.
Meet Tony Mochama aka‘Smitta’ and Billy Kahora, twoof Kenya’s most prolific andprovocative young writers.
There is a certain energy aboutMochama. An exuberance, a bub-
bliness that is noisy, playful anddefiant. There is a certain wayhe talks — sputtered speech thatcomes to the edge and stops be-
fore plodding off. Yet, curiously,he spews forth words that aredetermined to make a point and100 per cent of the time, the pointgets across; even if it is a pointthat you would not agree with.
“I’ll be running a wee bit latefrom Eldoret, but I’m joining yu soon Comradio. 2.30pm tops,”his text message read, reflect-ing vintage Mochama, ever thedeconstructionist. The interviewwas to start at 2pm. He eventu-ally arrived close to half pasttwo, dragging a brown travel bag,dressed in a white T-shirt, brown-ish khaki trousers and shoes thatare impossible to place.
That energy was evident as he begun to speak before he even sat. A short while later, he ordereda drink which, when presented
to him, he first looked at withan affectionate eye before sip-
ping. From his bag, he pulledout a couple of books, whichhe placed on the table. This wasTony Mochama; his books, hissputtered tell-it-as-it-is speech,his dreadlocks and his drink.
Naturally, the interview isabout his writing, but there is
this irresistible urge to talk tohim about his personal life. Theinquisitiveness comes from awidely accepted knowledge thathe is probably the only writer inKenya whose personal life and
writing are interfused.“There is an immersion. But
it is not complete. For my jour-nalistic work (he is a writer withThe Standard newspaper), I liketo live what I write. It helps me intransporting myself together withthe story in ways that my audi-
ence will readily identify with,”the words leap from his lips intothe air in quick succession.
But he clarifies that the otherpart — the novels and poetry — in-volve is a waking up at 4am. It
is a sober business that he takesseriously.
Mochama has been in the writ-ing business for over a decade nowthough his first attempts were inthe newspapers, his primary job todate, despite his success in fictionand poetry. He is the author of an
increasingly long list of award-winning, thought provoking, if controversial titles.
What If I’m a Literary Gangsta? — poetry collection (2007), The
Road to Eldoret (2009) — shortstory anthology, Princess Adhis& the Naija Coca Brodas (2011)(Leapfrog Award finalist, 2012),
Meet the Omtitas(Burt Award win-ner for 2013) to be launched at theNairobi International Book Fair byPhoenix Publishers in September,and The Rains Down in Africa — apoetry anthology to be published
by Ca Foscari Italia UniversityPress next year. He is workingon a novel, Pot Smokin’ Despotsabout African dictators.
Mochama’s mien contrastssharply with that of his contempo-rary, Kahora. Calm but ever busy,
the 41-year-old editor of Kwani?spots a short haircut, yet he isnot in any way officious.
He does not like generalities,the throwing around of blanketstatements with no specifics.
And right from the onset, he isall questions; have you read this?Have you seen that? Who is theauthor of that book exactly? Whosaid that?
Kahora’s first writing of notewas in South Africa while athird year student of Journalismat Rhodes University. A win in anational flash-fiction competition
by this debut work of art fired hispassion and he has been writingever since.
But that writing bug had bit-ten him earlier, prompting himto abandon half-way his Building
Economics studies at the Univer-sity of Nairobi.
In his corpus of writishort stories — Gorilla

My first experiencewith WilliamShakespeare
left me devastated. Someuniversity students cameto our school to performShakespeare’s Romeo and
Juliet. I was at KenyattaHigh School, Mwatate, atthe time.
The play haunted me allnight. The girl who hadplayed Juliet had been adashing Taita beauty whohad left my teenage eyespopping out.
However, it was thetragedy in the story of lovers that stayed on mymind. I found the playgruelling and brutal.
I had held my breathduring the play andpanicked as I prayed forthe two lovers. This wasespecially so when Julietvisited Friar Laurence forhelp, and he offered her adrug that would put herinto a death-like coma for“two and forty hours.”
I was relieved when theFriar promised to send amessenger to informRomeo of the plan, so thathe could rejoin her whenshe woke up. When shetakes the drug, the family,thinking she is dead, takesher to the family crypt, anopen tomb.
However, things go
awfully wrong as themessenger sent bythe Friar fails to reach
Romeo and, instead,Romeo learns of Juliet’sapparent death from hisservant, Balthasar.
Totally heartbroken,Romeo buys real poisonfrom an apothecary andgoes to where Juliet’s
body lay.I prayed for Juliet to
wake up at that point.The prayers were not an-swered. Believing Juliet to
be dead, Romeo drinks thepoison and dies for real.
At thi s point , I wasmad with whoever hadcome up with the wholedamn play (whose name Idid not know at the time!).
Juliet then woke up, andfinding Romeo dead, tooka dagger to stab herself. Ifelt like jumping on stageto grab the dagger fromthe beautiful Juliet.
I got carried away bythe play, forgetting thatit was only a play.
Try as I could, I couldnot forget the words of the prince about the story:

een in his carefree mannerisms,ngs of Anton Chekhov, Fyodorostoyevsky and Alexanderushkin.He had earlier graduated with
law degree from the Universityf Nairobi.It must have pained him greatly,
herefore, when he was deportedom Russia in 2007 after carica-
uring Vladmir Putin in an articleuring his previous visit, the yearefore.“It was a five-year ban, though,
nd I am free to go back now,”e told Saturday Nation, afternsuccessfully trying to avoidnswering the question.His rebellious antics seemed
o have found the right fire orhisky to fire it up and Prof Kabaji
— whose label literary gangsterropelled Mochama to write
What if I am a Literary Gansta? — now thinks he is the most pro-fic young writer in Kenya today.e, however, thinks Mochama’sork “could do with more depth
n his exploration of issues.”“All the same, he qualifies for
he title ‘the 21st century Kenyanterary rebel,’” he says. But what
o these two young and highlyegarded writers handle in their
texts? What keeps them awakeat night and drives their pens toplough up pages of paper?
For Mochama it is the needto tell the contemporary Africanstory. “When I tell my stories, Iprefer to tell them as they are.” Helooks for relevance first, he says,and that would include politicalissues, death, romance and thestate of the society.
Kahora, on the other hand,mulls over the question a little
bit before quipping: “I’m primarilyinterested in what I perceive to bethe failure of the Kenyan dreamand how characters/individualsdeal with it.”
He calls it the period when peo-ple believed in a certain Kenyawhere dreams could be achieved.
The years after independenceand in different historical cycles— multi-party 1992, consequentGoldenberg inflation, the euphoriaof 2002 and subsequent period,the 2013 election and the present,and the resultant cycles of disil-lusionment.
And more importantly for him,how Kenyans deal with these re-alities.
Mochama and Kahora, however,have a common ground, but whichon further interrogation, becomesanother point of departure. Theyseem to share certain understand-ing on what language to use astheir medium. At least from whatthey have produced, English istheir main vehicle.
“For me a very strong supra-structure is key and the English
should be very strong. You canuse the internal dialogue to bring
out the language differences in thework,” Mochama says, but withinthe internal structure of any of his work, you’ll meet all kinds of dialects that reflect the circum-stances that are being exploredwithin that text.
What about Sheng?“I can say that Sheng is good,
but that would be pretentious andfalse. There is a strong corrupt-ing influence in using Sheng.” He,however, admits that because therealities in his pieces of work arethe realities in life, Sheng will findlife in some of the dialogueswithin the text.
“What I believe is needed is acontemporary narrative voice thatintegrates everything within thesociety, even existing linguisticchanges. But this voice ought to
be recognisable within the literaryregister,” Kahora says.
He sees Kenya as a very expres-sive society. “This is right fromour spending, where consumptionhas become fashionable, to theuneven rewarding system in thesociety where few at the top getthe most while many at the lower
end get the least.”For Mochama, what everyone
can see but refuses to accept isthat everything changes.
“Even religion has changed. A Volkswagen is not what itoriginally was. So why shouldwe continue with mountain olddiscussions? It is as though our is-sues, which are our concern today,are not worth discussing.”
This, he says, is as outrageousas Chief Justice Willy Mutunga’sthree-minute legal quickie — ashe called the Supreme Court’sruling following the March 4election results’ petition.

It was billed as one of the finestworks of modern literature tohave come out of Kenya,
ritten by Binyavanga Wainana,inner of the 2002 Caine Prize
or African Writing, and founderf Kwani Trust.
The first part of One Day I WillWrite About This Place creates rusticmages of an African child growingp in a close-knit family in Kenya.he storytelling is simple, theorld as seen through the eyes of young boy. Binyavanga’s writingeasy and the imagery vivid. Mild
umour peppers the story.Despite the simplicity of the sto-
ytelling, the book calls for plentyf patience. One short sentenceollows another, creating a stam-
mer in the prose. The urge to put
the book away comes to me severaltimes. But I read on, hopeful thatthere is something great simmer-ing ahead.
I find it in the chapter before heleaves to pursue his undergraduatestudies in Transkei, South Africa.Binyavanga is in a bar with a friendwhen he meets a woman whom hedoes not immediately recogniseas his childhood domestic help
because she is dolled up in a wigand wears heavy make-up. Plus,she is drunk.
When he final ly realises thatthis woman is not a stranger but
Wambui, he says this of her: “Soeasy to believe in the person shewanted to be, so impossible for meto accept that person has come to
be… I am so angry at her fake at-
tempt to be what she is not. Thatshe fooled me. I want to put a hoein her hands and tell her to go hometo Subukia and grow potatoes.”
This paragraph erases my initialdispleasure with the book. Thephase in Transkei is yet again spentwith Binyavanga’s quizzing imagi-nation. The imagery is vivid, andthe writing is more mature than thefirst part of the book. It feels likeI am holding an entirely different
book in my hands. I see him strug-gle through an identity crisis.
I picture him stone-high andseeking solace in fleeting, unful-filling company. Many charactersare introduced in his time inTranskei.
Binyavanga returns to Kenya, nothaving completed his degree. Hemakes a visit to Uganda to meet
his extended family and learn of his origins. Out of this visit, hefinds some bearing. Refreshed, hereturns to South Africa intent tocomplete his degree, only to realisethat he has lost the passion for it.
He moves to Cape Town, takes upsome odd jobs and starts his writ-ing career. He returns to Nairobifollowing the death of his motherfrom diabetes. After her burial, hedecides to stay in Nairobi.
In this part of the book, we jour-ney with Binyavanga through thestruggles of his writing career, thefounding of Kwani Trust and his
joy in winning the Caine Prize for African writing.
“It often feels like an unbearableprivilege — to write. I make a liv-ing from simply taking all thosewonderful and horrible patternsin my past and making them newand strong… Sometimes I want tostop writing because I can’t bearthe idea that it may one day go
away. Sometimes I feel I wouldrather stop, before it owns mecompletely. But I can’t stop.”
He also reflects on his identityas a Kikuyu man in political Kenya.The momentum of the book startsto slow down again, and then the
book takes another dip.Then Binyavanga reveals that
he is diabetic, a revelation that isonly four words long. The inclusionof the 2007/2008 post-poll chaosdoes little to advance the storylineof the book.
The final chapter is a reminderof where he seeks his solace hisentire life: the written word. The
book ends on an affectionate notehere.
Binyavanga does not aimlesslycreate the voices that narratedthe memoirs. I believe the voice
he creates is a reflection of theperson he is.
I am left to question one thing: What is Binyavanga left with afterthe book? He does not make anylasting friendships from his time inSouth Africa. There is no mentionof a woman, or love. His siblingshave gone on to start families andhis parents are no longer with us.
Be that as it may, the book isan important contribution to theincreasing body of modern litera-ture in Kenya.

Distinguished Guests
Ladies and Gentlemen
I take this opportunity to congratulate the president of the conference and his vice presidents for their well deserved election to guide the affairs of this conference. COTU (K) has total condence in your ability to effectively guide the affairs of the conference.
I also congratulate the Director general of the ILO, for producing a clear and focused report on the status of the Organization as it prepares to transition to the next century.
Mr. President, we agree that despite the changed context of the world of work in which the ILO and its constituents nd themselves in, the mandate still remains the same and as such , we have to jointly be able to adapt, innovate and built our creativities i n order to effectively de
the ILO’s mandate.
Mr. President, Kenyan workers agree with the report’s observation that despite the encouraging achievements of the ILO in the last 89 years of its existence, new challenges have emerged which must be dealt with in order to position the organization in an advantage position
roll-over to the 2nd century enters the home stretch.
Indeed as echoed by Mr. David Morse, the fth Director – General of the ILO, in 1969, while receiving the Nobel Peace Price, the dangerous explosives he talked about which are hidden in the depths of the community – the national and the world community are still around, a
welcome the report for pointing out where they lie and how we can better go about the continuing task of defusing them.
Ladies and gentlemen, keeping in view of the a foregoing , it’s our position that this conference and the ILO in general has to comprehensively address the key institutional challenges outlined in the report and which touch on the following areas; Tripartism and representative legi
Standards, Coherence, the ILO and enterprises.
Mr. President, we in the trade union fraternity recognize that changes in productive arrangements brought by globalization and Global supply chains have tended to reduce trade union membership.
This however needs to be viewed against the practices of the Multinational Enterprises of engaging labour contractors whose sole objective is to maximize prots without due regard to the adherence to minimum labour standards, thereby exacerbating the race to the bottom thes
In this regard therefore, Kenyan workers are of the view that, the ILO may wish to prioritize and consider re-tabling the issue of employment relations in the agenda of the conference in the near future with a view to adopting a rm, fair and relevant standard to guide tripartite partn
Mr. President, we further agree that while constituents may not fully represent all the classes of workers owing to some of the issues we have raised earlier, this cannot be an excuse for Non-state actors to i nvade tested framework of tripartism.
In this regard, we in Kenya therefore, take this opportunity to advice the civil society and other Non-State Actors, that labour issues remain the core domain of established worker and employer organizations and that their participation in such matters can only be through such organi
and not directly to the workers and our members.
Mr President, COTU (K) agrees with the report’s analysis that, a number of challenges face the ILO and its constituents owing to t he transformation that has taken place in the world of work, for developing countries like Kenya, some of these challenges which include among oth
impact of demographic change as well as the changing character of production and employment among others, require a shift of policy mixes and production patterns towards a job-rich growth.
We say this because
Mr. President, we in Kenya are however privileged that we have recently inaugurated a new democratically elected Government whose central goal and its manifesto is creation of jobs through economic growth.
Nevertheless, in our Labour Day celebration which was graced by none other than our newly elected President Hon Uhuru Kenyatta, we pointed to him the need for his new government to seal tax leakages through which huge amounts of revenue which would have been used for inve
in job rich infrastructure and investment development projects are lost.
It is indeed our rm belief that if full proof systems are put in place to curtail tax evasion, the country would conservatively gain more than a third of Kshs 354.45 billion which can signicantly address employment and social challenges facing our country.
Lastly I inform this august conference that there is a looming danger in Kenya by a creature created by the new National Constitution in the name of Kenya Salaries Remuneration Commission which intends to encroach on the freely negotiated CBA’S by ghting to reduce wages
public and private employees.
As workers we will resist any attempt by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission of Kenya to interfere with freely negotiated terms and conditions of service of our members as this negates the ILO Convention number 95.
I thank you.
Ends.

Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassanwas injured last year in agrenade attack in Nairobi’s
Eastleigh, ending up confined tohospital beds in Kenya and South
Africa for several months.The former exile, who was once
at the forefront agitation for po-litical prisoners’ release, had hispassport revoked at one point and
his father arrested. He speaks of how books kept him going in someof the longest days in his life andwhy he hopes to return to KisiiHigh School.
Q: December 6, 2012, is certainly
one of the darkest days in your life.
A: It was a great tragedy, veryshocking. I mean I have workedin many places rocked by conflictsonly to come and be attacked athome. But, it was also only afterthe accident that I
came to know the true spirit of Kenyans, their incredible loveand kindness. Kenyans prayedfor me in churches and mosquesand to-date, people I don’t knowstop me in the street to expresstheir sympathies.
Being in hospital for half a year is
certainly emotionally taxing. What
kept you going?
My faith. I have a very strongfaith and hope. I told myself I mustget up again by the will of God.Therapy and spending time withfriends also kept me alive. I alsogot to read a lot. Reading actuallykept me going.
What kind of books?
It was a mix. I read autobiog-raphies, biographies and fiction.
While in South Africa, I read theinspiring biography of Chris Hani.(Chris Martin Thembisile Haniwas the charismatic leaderof the anti-Apart-
heid South African CommunistParty. He was assassinated in1993.) Another interesting bookI read was Priest and Partisan: ASouth African Journey. It is thestory of Father Alan MichaelLapsley, a victim of a bomb attackin Zimbabwe during apartheid. Helost both hands and sight in oneeye. I also read Barbara Kingsolv-er’s epic novel Flight Behavior.The book on global warming isthe only environmental novel Ihave read.
This attack came at the height of
campaigns. How did you manage itfrom a hospital bed?
I don’t know. I just watchedthe news like anyone else. Butseriously speaking, it is the teamof collaborators and the army of
volunteers who delivered the win. Ican never thank them enough.
You used to host Raila Odinga and
other dissidents during your days
at the Committee for the Release ofPolitical Prisoners and Ukenya op-
position group. But you have been
one of his harshest critics. What
changed?
Well, I worked with all kinds of dissidents, like Raila and (Ken-neth) Matiba. But I came to knowRaila after I had returned to the
country. I was in the Committeefor the Release of PoliticalPrisoners when Jaramogi(Oginga Odinga) was theactive leader of the oppo-sition. His track record wasthat of a true nationalist.
Well, I was in Raila’s party
but I don’t want to get intothat now. We were with other na-
tional heroes like the poet Abdilatif Abdalla who wroteSauti ya Dhiki. One poemthat particularly inspiredus was Kah awa , whichwent like “I am coffee andwhatever you do to me Iremain black and I smellthe same. (Prof Abdalla became the first politicalprisoner in independentKenya to be jailed by the Jomo Kenyatta govern-ment at the age of 22 inMarch 1969.)
What do you con-
sider the
most transformational book that you
have read?
I have been transformed by books. Books transform lives. While at Taranganya School inKuria, our teacher and some PeaceCorps volunteers introduced usto Karl Marx, Martin LutherKing and other black Americanwriters and human rights activ-ists. I also read Frantz Fanon,the Negritude poet Cheikh AntaDiop, Chinua Achebe and Ngugi
Wa Thiong’o. I particularly likedNgugi’s Decolonising the Mind. Iread books on the Cuban revolu-tion featuring leaders like FidelCastro and Che Guevara. All thisradicalised us.
What are you reading now?
I am now reading Bandiet out of
Jail, the prison memoirs of South African journalist-teacher HughLewin. Prof Lewin, who taughtme, was imprisoned for sevenyears by the apartheid regime. The
book is engrossing and upliftingat the same time.
Have you ever returned to Kisii
High School since 1972?
No, I have not because I have been out of the country for mostof my life. I would, however, loveto go back there despite having
been expelled.What had you done to be ex-
pelled?Nothing but the argument was I
had led the school to strike.Celebrated Somali writer Nurrudin
Farah was here in April and he de-
clared that the world had ‘invented’
the fact that there were pirates in
Somalia. Do you agree?
Nurrudin Farah is one of thegreatest writers from our side of the world. He is also a friend andhe actually came to see me when Iwas recuperating in South Africa.But I don’t wish to comment onthat because I have not seen it.
Farah also lamented the harassment
of Somalis in Nairobi’s Eastleigh and
the mistreatment of those in North
Eastern Kenya.
Yes, those historical problemsare there. Exclusion and margin-alisation of the people continuesto date. We hope the new Consti-tution will address that.
To President Obama, terrorism is a
manifestation of intolerance. What is
the cause of terrorism?
The biggest contribu-
tor to terrorism is thedispossession anddisempowerment of sections of communi-
ties by regimes. It is lack democracy and human righ
biggest perpetrator of allthe USA itself.

CAREY BAREFACED ON BIG SCREEN
Pop star Mariah Carey will appear without makeupon the big screen as Hattie Pearl in the biographicaldrama “The Butler”. She will launch her new albumon July 25.
Interspersed in the rich vocal andguitar dalliance was the distinctplucking of the kora that crownedthe fine serving of time-ripened
West African fare.Naaba’s percussionist, Moham-
med Sana, is unique in the sensethat he doesn’t use drumsticks.His bare fingers get the job done.His eccentricities start with his
drums, which are not your con-ventional set. The bass drumis the half of a huge calabash,three djembe drums of varyingsizes making up the snare andtom-tom drums. Every time his
bare fingers completed a roll, he
punctuated it with a hearty bangon the hi-hat cymbals and a deftflick on the chimes that left nodoubt that he was thoroughlyenjoying himself.
Naaba’s music makes for aninteresting fusion of the uniquevocal arrangement popularised
by the Keitas of Mali interspersedwith the melodic kora and a diz-
zying guitar arrangement thatmorphs between the Congolese
sebene and scream-ing rock. One
minute you are sittingunder anold baobabtree listen-ing to DaoMamadou’s
a n c i e n tkora weav-
ing a sensuoustapestry, and
the next guitaristMichael Avron thrusts
you into the electric age of Jimmi Hendr ix, the bassis t
Achille Ouattara, working allthe while in the background to
keep everything grounded.“I am a modern traditionalsinger,” he describes himself.“I am a troubadour. I perform
barefoot because I consider theaudience as my chief. As a trou-
badour, when you perform beforea chief or a king you do not puton your shoes.”
The 31-year-old Naaba, whosings in his native Mooré lan-guage and French, was born inKonkistenga village, North Westof Burkina Faso, but soon aftermoved to Cote d’Ivoire with hisfamily. He was introduced tomusic at age six by his mother,who was a traditional singerof the Mossi tribe. As a child,he was entrusted to a Koranicmaster by his father who wantedhim to learn the strict discipline
of Islam. Part of that trainingentailed physical labour and begging.
“This education taught me hu-mility and gave me a good visionof the people of the world,” hesaid. “It also gave me spiritualityand taught me that life is full of surprises.”
From the Koranic school heproceeded to a regular school
where he started to develop hislove for music.
His music, which draws fromhis Mossi roots, is inspired bythe Salou rhythm of BurkinaFaso and other desert rhythmsof West Africa, together with
jazz. “I make fusion music thatis inspired by the cultures of theplaces I travel to.”
He made his debut with hisfirst album Regards Métis (Mon- grel Glance) which was recordedin 1999 but released in 2003. Itearned him the Kundé Award forthe best artist from the diaspora,catapulting him to instant fame inhis home country, Burkina Faso.His second album, Foo, followedin 2005, also bagging a Kundéfor best Francophone song. Thealbum that opened his music tothe world beyond West Africawas Wakat, released in 2009,and which embraced an acoustic
Afro-pop style that encompasses both poetic griot story-telling andfunky dance riffs.
Naaba wrote the music forthe musical comedy NguwinoUbeho produced for the 15thcommemoration of the Rwanda
genocide. He shared the stagewith Kenya’s Makadem at the2012 Cannes Film Festival atthe World Cinema Pavillion.His Nairobi performance formspart of an Eastern and Southern

H angover III, currentlyshowing in theatres inKenya and around the
world, can best be described as a bad and undesirable hangover.
Directed by Todd Phillips, Hangover III is the last of the Hangover trilogy, which com-prise Hangover released in 2009and Hangover II in 2011. Phillips,who directed all three, is knownfor some of his other successfulcomedy films such as Road Trip,
Old School and Project X .If you have watched any of the
first two of films of the Hango-ver trilogy, you would probablyalready know that the story re-volves around four middle agedmen, ‘the wolf pack’ consistingof Phil, Stu, Dough and Allan,played by Bradley Cooper, EdHelms, Justin Bartha and ZachGalifianakis, respectively.
As in the other movies, Alan,who decides to buy a giraffe anddrive it home, instigates the ad-venture. In a rather bizarre and
distasteful situation, he crushesthe animal’s head off on a bridgeand causes a chain of car acci-dents.
Meanwhile, Mr Lesley Chou (Ken Jeong), the world crimi-nal from the first two films hasplanned a dramatic escape froma Bangkok prison. In a scene verysimilar to one in the film TheShawshank Redemption, Chou drills a wall through his cell walland escapes through the sewerand into a fishing freighter.
Meanwhile back in America, theself-aggrandising Alan has to face
his wealthy, but fed up father ( Jef-frey Tambor), who had to pay forhis giraffe incident. The argumentis nasty and the old man ends updying from a heart attack.
After the funeral, Alan’s friendsreluctantly agree to participate inan intervention where they settleon taking Alan to a rehabilitationcentre several states away. This
journey predictably sets the stagefor the next adventure.
What follows, as in the othertwo movies, is a series of eventsthat could only occur in a film
written by Craig Mazin and ToddPhillips (the first wrote the Scary
Movieseries while the latter wrote Borat). There are masked men,some dog killing, blocks of goldand the return to Las Vegas.
While the film is not half as hi-larious and spontaneous as thefirst one and barely has as manysurprises as the second one, itoffers a few good laughs. Most of them are from Galifianakis, whonever disappoints with his spoilt,immature man act.
Other than Galifianakis, Ken Jeong, who is surprisingly a cer-
tified physician in real life, alsomakes for one or two laughs withhis unpredictable and sometimes-confusing character of Chou.
Most of the other slightly funnyinstances in the film rely heavilyon stereotypical racial jokes andinnuendos such as the Asian pro-nunciation of ‘l’ and ‘r’ and the
Jewish love for money. Whi le the mov ie, rel eased
worldwide on May 23, lags behindits season peers like Iron Man 3 and The Fast and Furious 6, it’sstill a theatrical success raisingover $272 million so far world-
wide, compared to its $103 production budget. The fialso become the second hgrossing R-rated film, seconto the first Hangover.
Nonetheless, critics werekind. Rotten Tomatoes, a resfilm review website, showonly about 49 percent of thusers liked it while only 2cent of critics did.
“Less a comedy than an dark action thriller, the Ha
Part 3 diverges from therote formula but offers ncompelling in it’s place” re

BY PHARES BARINE
Ifound Mwaura Kiragu’s essay‘English and literature areas different as night and
day’ (Saturday Nation, May 25)disconcerting. For a teacher of literature, Mr Kiragu’s assertionthat there is no relationship be-tween literature and English isnot only mischievous, but illogi-cal and misleading.
The writer laments that he goes
through a trauma whenever hehas to teach English. Pray, whatcauses the trauma? Is it becauseof using English to teach litera-ture genres? He says he “shouldnot be limited to literature in Eng-lish.” What does he mean by that?In what language does he proposeto teach literature to the chargesunder his tutelage?
Surely, he wouldn’t be so fool-hardy as to use his first languageto teach. How would his students
benefit in terms of content andthe more immediate objective,national examinations?
Pleasing patterns
The writer doesn’t say why hewants to shun English. He saysliterature “only uses English as
a way of communicating.” How,then, will he effect communica-tion, if not through English?
Literature and English arenot as different as night andday. Indeed, literature springsfrom our inborn love of tellinga story (novel, short story), of arranging words in pleasingpatterns (poetry), of expressingin words some special aspect of our human experience (includingthose experiences passed downto us by word of mouth).
How then shall we divorce themedium (words of the Englishlanguage) from the content
(ideas)? The importance of lit-erature cannot be gainsaid.
To paraphrase the scholarH.L.B. Moody, literature is thevehicle that transports us, asit were, to various realities of human situations, challenges,feelings and relationships.
When we read literary works,we find our knowledge of humanaffairs broadened and deepened.
We get to understand the pos-
sibilities of human life — andcapacity for both good and evil. We are able to take cogni -
sance of our lives in relationto the world around us, withall its pleasures, its vexationsand problems. We are thus able(through the study of literature)to recognise options open to usfor improvement and, perhaps,
be able to make right rather thanwrong choices in life.
Perhaps this is what the writermeant to say, but failed to do.
The significance and time al-lotted to literature in our schooltime-tables are not nearly enough.
Before the the 8-4-4 curriculum,literature (and her sister fasihi)were distinct subjects. Then thelearner had the time to exploresuch literary vistas as Betrayal
In The Cit y, The Concub ine ,Things Fall Apart, A Man of The
People,The Burdens, Government Inspector, Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, The BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Born, A Grainof Wheat and many more.
If one pursued the subject to
A-Level, more breath-taking liter-ary panorama unfolded.
Today, literature in our schoolsis spread thinly among three pa-pers of the examination subjecttugged “English”. Poetry andOral Literature are examined inpapers One and Two, while set
books are in paper Three.Emphasis is put on language
use. The learner has little time todigest the contents of the literarytexts, as he has to earn marksfrom the language component,which carries more than half the marks.
The logical way forward is forthe Kenya Institute of CurriculumDevelopment to consider appro-priating more instruction timefor literature. It should consider
widening the scope of the contentin terms of thematic concerns.Getting our school-going and
other youth to study more lit-erature could be the pill for theplethora of social ills that bedevilour society, such as the riotousgreed and materialism, grossimmorality like the insidiouscorruption, rampant crime, andthe utterly despicable bestialitythat has pushed prostitution tonightmarish levels.

The hidden sideof self-publishingY EMMANUEL KARIUKI
Many authors claim to make a lot of money fromelf-publishing, but I am reluctant to join themust yet. I believe that a lot of their energy is beingapped by their effort when they would rather juste writing more books. Here is my experience withelf-publishing.My first published story was Zebra’s Illness. Thisas a 32-page book with an extra rider story — Os-ich and Baboon. I spent close to two years trying toet it published. Phoenix Publishers got interested,ut they took another year to make a firm decision,
much to my exasperation.I withdrew the book, used Sh30,000 from my own
avings and printed 2,000 copies. The following year,published another 2,000 copies of my second book
— Safari ya Kombamwiko.At th is rate, I wou ld pub lish one boo k
ach year and be a full fledged publishern 10 years with 10 titles, or so I thought.elf-publishing was the easy part, selling was really
or the professionals.I went all over Nairobi trying to convince book-
hops to stock my two precious books. Many of themreferred a “sale or return” arrangement.This meant that they would stock about five cop-s without paying and only pay later for copies
hey had managed to sell. I would be free to collectnsold copies if I chose to break the arrangement.also meant that I would have to be visiting their
helves from time to time to see how many copieshey had sold.
In several cases, I would find that no copies hadeen sold after three or more months. Several book-hops were not keen to part with money even afterelling my copies, so you can imagine the infuriatingips either to inspect the shelves for sold copies or
o seek payment from unwilling retailers.In one case, I decided that I had made more tripso a certain bookshop than the books were worth,o I cut my losses and ran.From then on, I vowed to take cash only or walk
ut with my books.Having learned some lessons about the peculiar
abits of Kenyan booksellers, I would plan a trip withtopovers in towns to scout for bookshops, insistingn cash for any books I parted with.For example, one route would be Nairobi, Thika,
Murang’a and Nyeri. Whenever I had a reason to ben Mombasa, Nakuru or Kisumu, I would carry copiesor sale to bookshops.
You would think that the 4,000 copies would beut of print in a year. Bookshops were only takingve copies at a time, sometimes only three copies.
My best client was a wholesaler who would take 50opies at a time but at the discounted rate of 50 perent instead of the usual 25 per cent.Needless to say, I soon realised that it was better
o do what I knew best — writing books — and leave
he selling to the professionals.When my two titles were sharing the distribution
osts between them, an established publisher hadundreds of titles into which the costs would bepread. So when Phoenix Publishers showed an in-erest the two books, I sold the remaining copies tohe benevolent wholesaler and gave the publishingghts to Phoenix.Zebra’s Illness was re-published as Miraba and
round Vuno. Safari ya Kombamwiko retained thetle and has since spawned a sequel — Kombamwikoa Hoteli ya Nyota Tano.Later an English translation of Safari yaombamwiko was published as Kombamwiko’s Ad-enture.This is a digital era and things may have changed.
However, my advice to someone who wants to at-empt self-publishing is approach the endeavourith caution.Making friends with a publisher early on would begood ‘plan B’ in case the bed of roses turns out toe a little thorny.

BY SUSAN WANJIRU
This is in reference to a reader’s opinion twoSaturdays ago, Jane Wanjiku, who argued that highschool students read, yes, but only romantic stuff.They read the likes of Nora Roberts, Danielle Steeland Sheldom. That is way ahead. I am sure thatis a good beginning, for I, too, started off by read-ing Mills & Boon and Harlequin Romance beforegraduating to Stephen King, Robert Ludlum andon to political works by Jeffrey Archer.
I also read Wilbur Smith for war stories and James Patterson for crime detective stories. Thatis moving ahead, right? I must admit, though I stilllove Judith McNaught.
You see, girls start watching football to drool over
the likes of Theo Walcott and Chicharito and, beforeyou know it, they become great fans, enjoying the
game and not just the players.The same goes for metal head rockers. They start
listening to the likes of Pink Floyd, The Fray and Avril. Before long, they graduate to Hinder, Skillet,30 Seconds to Mars and other hard metal bands.
So, my point is the young readers are headingsomewhere. If they are reading Insyder, let them.
You will not know when they grab the next Forbesand other financial magazines.
Here I am having travelled the same route. I nowlove my inspirational books by Joel Osteen, PepeMinambo and Mbugua Mumbi, which I must admitcosts an arm and leg to purchase, considering I ama college student.
Now, here I am yearning for more from WoleSoyinka and Binyavanga and my favourite, Mwangi
Gicheru. Although I am not yet a fan of poetry,hopefully I will get there.
Let the youth read romance books; it’s their starting point

WASHINGTON, Friday
The White House has can-celled a safari that USPresident Barack Obama
nd his wife Michelle were due toake in Tanzania over budgetaryoncerns, The Washington Post eported on Thursday.
The newspaper, citing a Secretervice planning document, saidhe excursion scheduled duringtour of Africa that Obama willndertake later this month wouldave required agents protectingim to take extraordinary pre-autions.The safari “would have re-
uired the president’s specialounter-assault team to carryniper rifles with high-calibre
ounds that could neutraliseheetahs, lions or other ani-mals if they became a threat”,he paper reported.
Outlining the vast securityreparations made for Obama’sip to Senegal, Tanzania andouth Africa, the documentas provided to the Post by aerson “concerned about themount of resources necessaryor the trip”. It did not provideost information.
The Post said the White
House cancelled the safari on Wednesday after the paper in-quired about the “purpose andexpense”. The Obamas had beenexpected to spend more than twohours at Tanzania’s Mikumi Na-tional Park.
The White House was notimmediately available for com-ment, but a spokesman told the
Post that a trip to South Africa’sRobben Island, the site of theprison where anti-apartheid hero
Nelson Mandela was held, had
taken precedence.“We do not have a limitlesssupply of assets to supportpresidential missions, and weprioritised a visit to RobbenIsland over a two-hour safari inTanzania,” said the spokesman,
Josh Earnest.“Unfortunately, we couldn’t
do both.”The Post said Obama’s Africa
tour, his first since taking officein January 2009, could cost the
government between $60 mil-
lion and $100 million, based oncost of similar trips in recentyears.
The report comes as manygovernment agencies strugglewith mandatory budget cuts thattook effect in March because USlawmakers failed to strike a wider
budget deal.Hundreds of Secret Service
agents will be dispatched forthe president’s visit, along witha Navy aircraft carrier or am-phibious ship, with a fully-staffedmedical trauma centre stationedoffshore, the report said.
Dozens of vehicles will also be brought to the three countries bymilitary transport planes, alongwith sheets of bullet-proof glassto cover the windows of the ho-tels where the Obamas stay.
“Fighter jets will fly in shifts,giving 24-hour coverage over thepresident’s airspace,” the reportsaid, citing the Secret Servicedocument. (AFP)

Sudan accuses South and
rebels for oil pipeline blast
HARTOUM, Friday
Rebels based in SouthSudan have attacked anoil pipeline in the dis-
uted Abyei region, Khartoumays, amid worsening relationsith its neighbour.The fire in the Diffra oil
eld lasted for several hoursefore being extinguished, an
rmy spokesman said.The spokesman blamed the
ttack, which took place onhursday, on rebels from Dar-
ur, saying they had crossed theorder from South Sudan.Both rebels and the South
ave reportedly denied re-ponsibility.The accusation comes two
ays after Sudan ordered oilompanies to block South Su-an’s oil from going through itsipelines to export terminals.The blockade, which takes
ffect in 60 days, was imposedfter Sudan’s President Omar-Bashir accused the South of acking rebels.South Sudan denies the
harges and in turn accuses
hartoum of supporting armedroups in its territory.Relations have been fraughtnce South Sudan gained inde-endence in 2011, taking with itome 75 per cent of the formerate’s oil.However, the South is
landlocked and exports its oilthrough pipelines which runthrough Sudan.
Army spokesman SawarmiKhaled Saad said the Justiceand Equality Movement (Jem)
from Darfur carried out the ex-plosion in Diffra, after receiving“technical support from SouthSudan’s army”.
“The explosion led to a firethat has now been controlled,”Saad explained in a statementseen by the Nation.
Jem spokesperson Jibril Ib-rahim Bilal, however, deniedthe charges, according to theSudan Tribune newspaper.
South Sudan also deniedhaving any links to the blast.
“We cannot do that at a timewhen we want the oil to flow,”foreign affairs spokesmanMawien Makol Arik told theReuters news agency.
South Sudan gets about 98per cent of its revenue from itsoil exports.
The flow of oil only resumedin April after production wasstopped last year in a row overhow much the South shouldpay Sudan for the use of itspipelines.
The loss of oil revenue hit both countries very hard.
Bilal further rejected chargesthat his movement has receivedany support from Juba.
On Monday, South Sudan’sInformation Minister BarnabaMarial Benjamin told the BBCthat Sudan troops had movedabout 10km into its territory.
Last year, the two countriesappeared to be on the brinkof war after Southern forcesseized the Heglig oilfieldnear Abyei before agreeing towithdraw.
In a related development,Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign
Affairs said it is now “study-ing proposals presented by the
African Union” to resolve the
crisis with its neighbour. Afr ican Union negotiato rThabo Mbeki has made anurgent proposal to both sidesfor resolving the crisis, accord-ing to an AU statement. (BBCand Mohammed Amin, NationCorrespondent)

Zambian banks lose$4m in ATM scandalBY MICHAEL CHAWE
NATION Correspondent
LUSAKA, Friday
Zambia police has uncovereda scandal in which $4 millionhas been stolen from differ-ent commercial banks in thecountry through automatedteller machines, local mediareported today.
Police say the thefts in-volve three foreign criminalswho have since “recruitedand trained” Zambians incyber crime.
“So far, about $4 millionhas already been stolen fromdifferent banks through ATMwithdrawals,” police deputyinspector-general Solomon
Jere is quoted as saying bya privately owned daily, The
Post.The public are, therefore,
advised to secure their pin
numbers and not to share themwith anyone who would offer
help to them, said Jere. Jere also advised people not
to expose their pin numberswhen making ATM transac-
tions.Police also said criminals
may also take advantage of upcoming events such asthe International Trade Fairin Ndola city, north of thecapital Lusaka, and the Lusaka
Agriculture and CommercialShow.
Cyber crimes
Jere said police were inves-tigating the incidents.
The move could be a secu-rity scare ahead of the UnitedNations World Tourism Or-ganisation General Assemblyto be co-hosted by Zambia andZimbabwe in August.
Police said they haverecorded about 200 casesinvolving cyber crimes af-
fecting banks in the last sixmonths.

EHRAN, Friday
Iranians were today vot-ng for a new president in anection that reformists hope
o win with the conservativesven by division, four yearsfter the disputed re-election
f Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.Dozens of men and women,
n separate queues, were seenutside polling stations ashey opened at 8am. Votingontinues until 6pm but thatould be extended if there is aig turnout.More than 50.5 million peo-
le are eligible to vote for theman — no women candidates
were approved — to succeed Ahmadinejad, who is barredfrom standing for a thirdconsecutive term under theconstitution.
At the same time, as choos-ing a new president from sixcandidates, voters will also pickmunicipal councillors.
Iran’s supreme leader Aya-
tollah Ali Khamenei, who hascalled for a large turnout but
not publicly stated his prefer-ence for any single candidate,voted early.
“Inshallah (God willing), theIranian people will create a newpolitical epic. I advise all peopleto vote,” said the Iranian leaderafter casting his ballot.
He also attacked US criti-cism of the credibility of the
presidential poll.“The hell with you ... who
do not agree with the way theelection is being run,” Khame-nei said on national television.“The Iranian people ... will dowhat is in their interest.”
His remarks were echoed by Ayatollah Ahmad Janati, headof the hardline Guardians
Council electoral watchdog,who said voters “were pokingtheir fingers in the eye of theenemy”.
Second round
If no candidate secures morethan half of the votes to winoutright today, a second roundwill be held a week later.
The first results are expectedon Saturday.
With the conservative campdivided, reformists seemconfident of a good showing
by moderate cler ic HassanRowhani, who has emergedas a frontrunner with a realchance of forcing a run-off,analysts say.

SUPPORT | CIA to co-ordinate delivery of military equipment and training
Obama boosts
military aid toSyrian rebels
WASHINGTON, Friday
The US is to supply directmilitary aid to the Syrianopposition for the first
me, the White House has an-ounced.
President Barack Obamamade the decision after his ad-ministration concluded Syrianorces under Bashar al-Assadere using chemical weapons,spokesman said.Ben Rhodes did not give de-
ails about the military aid otherhan to say it would be “differentn scope and scale to what weave provided before”.The US had warned any use of
hemical weapons would cross“red line”.The US announcement is one
hat the Syrian opposition haseen pushing and praying for
months.It seems clear that Presidentbama has finally been per-
uaded, as Britain and France
ave argued, that the battlefieldannot be allowed to tilt stronglyn the regime’s favour, as is cur-ently happening, he adds.
Washington’s “clear” state-ment was welcomed by Nato
ecretary-General Anders Fogh
Rasmussen.“Urgent that Syria regime
should let UN investigate allreports of chemical weaponsuse,” he said on his officialTwitter feed.
But a spokesperson for UNSecretary-General Ban Ki-moonsaid that he remained against“any further militarisation” of the conflict in Syria, saying thepeople there need peace notmore weapons.
Rhodes, a deputy nationalsecurity adviser to Obama, said
the US intelligence community believed the “Assad regime hasused chemical weapons, includ-ing the nerve agent sarin, on asmall scale against the opposi-tion multiple times over thelast year”.
He said intelligence officialshad a “high confidence” in theirassessment, and also estimatedthat 100 to 150 people had diedfrom chemical weapons attacks,“however, casualty data is likelyincomplete”.
“We have consistently said theuse of chemical weapons violatesinternational norms and crossesred lines that have existed in theinternational community for dec-ades,” Rhodes said.
Rhodes said President Obama
had made the decision to increaseassistance, including “militarysupport”, to the Supreme Mili-tary Council (SMC) and SyrianOpposition Coalition.
He did not give details of theaid, but administration officials
have been quoted by US mediaas saying it will most likely in-clude sending small arms andammunition.
The New York Times quoted
US officials as saying that Washington could provide anti-tank weapons.
Syria’s rebels have been callingfor both anti-tank and anti-air-craft weaponry.
The Wall Street Journal re-
ported that Washington is alsoconsidering a no-fly zone insideSyria, possibly near the borderwith Jordan, that would protect
refugees and rebels who aretraining there.
When asked whether Obamawould back a no-fly zone overSyria, Rhodes said one wouldnot make a “huge difference”on the ground — but would becostly.
He said further actionswould be taken “on our owntimeline”.
The CIA is expected to co-ordinate delivery of the militaryequipment and train the rebelsoldiers on how to use it.
Until now, the US has lim-ited its help to rebel forces byproviding rations and medicalsupplies.
Rhodes said the White Househoped the increased support
would bolster the effective-ness and legitimacy of boththe political and military armsof Syria’s rebels, and said theUS was “comfortable” workingwith SMC chief Gen Salim Idris.(BBC)

Kenya Airways recordeda Sh7.8 billion netloss for the 12 months
hrough to March 2013, blamedn low passenger numbers andss on currency exchange.The national carrier recordedSh1.6 billion after-tax profitver the same period lastear.Management attributes the
erformance to the Eurozonerisis and the issuance of avel advisories by key marketources, which led to a dropn passengers coming into theountry. In 2009, the airlineeported a Sh4 billion loss onccount of oil hedging.
Addressing investors yes-erday, KQ chief executivefficer Titus Naikuni said theompany took a beating fromigh fuel costs and the unstableolitical environment in Africa
experienced in the year. Last
year, Côte d’Ivoire and Maliwere in turmoil, forcing airlinesto abandon scheduled fights tothe two countries.
“The year was characterised by harsh economic and geopo-litical conditions that adverselyimpacted on the performanceof the company. The situationwas worsened by the Eurozonecrisis,” Mr Naikuni said.
“We hope to rebound inthe next year as the politicaland economic environmentimproves.”
Retrenchment
In a year that saw someseven airlines close down, KQreported a first-time operatingloss of Sh9 billion, down from
the Sh1.3 profit recorded theprevious year. This means theincome the company generatesfrom ferrying passengers andcargo is not enough to coverfor the costs incurred providingthe services.
Revenues dropped 8.4 percent from Sh107.8 billion in2012 to Sh98.86 billion in theyear under review. Passengersdeclined by 3.6 per cent to 9.5million.
Mr Naikuni said the air-line incurred huge costs inretrenchment, which sawover 800 employees leave thecompany in the past year.
As part of its come-backstrategy, the company plans toestablish its own fuel procure-ment firm. The move, the CEO
says, is meant to cut the ad-ditional cost KQ incurs buyingfuel from other companies.

In a statement, ERC directedthe price of kerosene in Nairobito be reduced by Sh2.06 per litre.Pump prices for other towns will

costs for the third consecutivemonth after pump prices of superpetrol and diesel decreased bySh5.06 and Sh1.90 per litre
respectively.In a statement accompany-
ing the recommended prices,ERC said inefficiencies at thecountry’s only refinery have ledto additional costs, which have
been passed on to consumers.
Negative impact
“The reduction in the prices of super petrol and diesel has beenoccasioned by reduced prices in
the international market coupledwith a stable exchange rate.
The lag in the local processingof crude oil cargoes has had anegative impact on the pricesof locally refined productsespecially kerosene,” the state-ment read in part.

AGRICULTURE | Lobby has urged farmers to oppose implementation of the Act
Sugar Board opposes new law
Y RAMENYA GIBENDI
The Kenya Sugar Board hasurged farmers to resist at-tempts to implement the
griculture, Livestock, Fisheriesnd Food Authority Act sayingwill hurt the industry.The board chairman Mriptarus arap Kirior said thect, which seeks to merge 14
marketing agencies and regula-ors in the agriculture sector, isot well thought-out and will notolve the industry’s woes.Speaking at a farmer’s field
ay organised by the Kenya
ugar Research Foundation inisumu, Mr Kirior said “onelanket institution” cannot ad-
dress the problems the sugarindustry faces.
“We have so many marketingand lobby bodies in the countrywith unique roles and they can-
not be simply bundled togetherunder one institution,” said MrKirior.
He said parliament hurriedlydebated and passed the Act lastyear without consulting stake-holders.
Farmers’ interests
Mr Kirior told farmers thatthe gazzettement of the Act willrender the Sugar Act, which hasprovisions that protect farmers’interest, ineffective.
The Act was signed by formerpresident Mwai Kibaki in Janu-ary. The agencies are Sisal Board,Cotton Board of Kenya, NationalCereals and Produce Board, Cof-fee Board, Tea Board, PyrethrumBoard, and Coconut Develop-ment Authority.
The Kenya Plant HealthInspectorate Service and Hor-ticultural Crops Development
Authority will not be sparedeither.
The new Bill was passed byParliament during its final sit-tings last year with the aim of transforming farming into a pro-
fessional and well-paying ventureattractive to the youth.
But the sugar industry lobby
says disbanding the board at thisstage may hurt trade ahead of the lifting of Comesa safeguardsin February 2014.
The sugar board is striving toprepare the industry for external
competition upon expiry of theregional safeguards.
Act seeks to merge 14marketing agenciesnd regulators in the
griculture sector

Thеѕе arе Cіru’ѕ ѕеntіmеntѕ abоut hеr
frіеnd Mеrсу’ѕ* rеlatіоnѕhір. And thіѕ іѕ thе
tурісal rеѕроnѕе manу wоmеn havе whеnthеу find that thеіr frіеndѕ arе іn rеlatіоn-
ѕhірѕ wіth реорlе thеу соnѕіdеr unwоrthу
оf thеіr affесtіоnѕ.
Cіru, 24, a markеtіng dіrесtоr, thоught
hеr frіеnd Mеrсу and hеr nеw bеau wеrе
a matсh madе іn hеavеn. Thеу wеrе thе
соuрlе еvеrуоnе еnvіеd. Naturallу, Cіru
waѕ thrіllеd and haрру fоr Mеrсу; thіѕ man
dоtеd оn hеr and, іn Cіru’ѕ wоrdѕ, “thе
wоrld rеvоlvеd arоund јuѕt hеr.” But aѕ wе
all knоw, реорlе іn rеlatіоnѕhірѕ nеvеr
ѕtart оut bу ехроѕіng thеіr truе соlоurѕ.
Evеrуоnе рutѕ thеіr bеѕt fооt fоrward and
еvеrуthіng ѕееmѕ hunkу-dоrу... fоr a whіlе.
Thіѕ waѕ thе сaѕе fоr Mеrсу’ѕ rеlatіоn-
ѕhір. Graduallу Cіru ѕtartеd tо nоtісе that
hеr frіеnd waѕ сhangіng, but nоt fоr thе
bеѕt. “Mеrсу lоѕt wеіght, drunk mоrе, and
bесamе еaѕіlу іrrіtatеd and dеfеnѕіvе.
Shе wоuld ѕреnd lеѕѕ tіmе wіth thе gіrlѕ,
сlaіmіng that ѕhе waѕ wоrkіng оn ‘fiхіng’
hеr rеlatіоnѕhір.”
Stісkу ѕіtuatіоnOn оссaѕіоn, Cіru nоtісеd that thе man
wоuld laѕh оut at Mеrсу оn a nіght оut
whеn aѕkеd whу hе waѕ іn a fоul mооd.
“Thеу bесamе thе соuрlе that alwaуѕ
fightѕ оn a nіght оut; ѕоmеhоw іt waѕ rarе-
lу оr nеvеr thе guу’ѕ fault. It’ѕ nеvеr еaѕу
tо gіvе rеlatіоnѕhір advісе, but I сarе fоr
Mеrсу and ѕat hеr dоwn соuntlеѕѕ tіmеѕ. I
роіntеd оut hіѕ flawѕ and hіѕ dоuсhеbag
bеhavіоur and, ѕurрrіѕіnglу, ѕhе agrееd
wіth mе but соntіnuеѕ tо ѕtaу,” ѕaуѕ Cіru. “It

flоggіnga dеad
hоrѕе
whеn fоr

іt haѕ
bееn thе
ѕamе

Juѕt
lіkе Cіru, wе all havе that frіеnd, ѕіѕtеr,
соuѕіn, оr daughtеr wе сannоt undеr-
ѕtand what ѕhе ѕееѕ іn ѕоmеоnе whо

But thеn agaіn уоu havе ѕеrіоuѕ соn-сеrnѕ abоut hеr futurе and rеal frіеndѕ arе
lоуal, havе еaсh оthеr’ѕ baсk, and ѕреak
thе truth tо еaсh оthеr — еvеn іf іt wіll

atіоn іn a taсtful waу and ѕtіll maіntaіn a

It іѕ rеallу іmроrtant tо aррrоaсh thе
