Kenya: Oooops: NONE-COMPLIANCE OF REFORM ACCORD and NHIF CONSPIRACY Confirm Coalition Government Failure

From: Judy Miriga

People,

What went wrong in Kenya today, why are people angry, frustrated, in pain and are dissatisfied with present leadership? Why is Mombasa people behaving the way they do?

Many people believe that the Coalition Government leadership in none-compliance of Reform Accord to deliver public mandate and public interest fairly, with excessive corruption, graft and impunity taking toll; whereas, drugs distribution activities are fuelled by politicians, misappropriations and mismanagement with theft of public Free Primary education Funds coordinated and twisted conspiracies, mismanagement of youth funds for Kazi kwa Vijana, notwithstanding the pandemic chronic and nostalgic corruption of the recent activities of NHIF conspiracies saga, including the cross-section of the Coalition Government to strike a deal over contempt of court over the Ocampo four at ICC Hague, is simply out of order meant to defeat justice from taking its rightful cause; this and many more cannot be tolerated and are unacceptable.

Show-Case:

As can be seen in reaction from Mombasa people, it is anger and frustration from being denied rights since independence. Many Mombasa people have been turned to squatters in their own country. Their voices have not been heard, they have been marginalized and pushed to poverty extreme ends into extinction. It is not Mombasa alone, the frustrations are clearly seen in Mandera, Isiolo, Marsabit, Turkana, Taita Taveta, Lamu, Kwale, Kilifi and Luo Nyanza with recent take-over of Siaya land to Dominion Farm, Migingo, Osienala, Odino Falls, Oluch Kimira, Odundu in and around Makalda Mine, Mollasses plant, etc.,

It is because the leadership of the Coalition Government have failed. It has conspired to default, is none-compliant, has engage in conflict of interest to defraud public mandate and interest, does things that are illegal, illicit and swindle to de-constitutionalize Public Bills of Rights.

The leadership of the Coalition Government does not engage to provide service to public as mandated, instead, it conspires in many ways to swindle and deny public basic fundamental rights of legalizing Bill of Rights to ensure fair-play to Political process of Legislation thus:

1) Devolution of Count Bill loosened to block Public Mandate but offer open ended value to Special Interests

2) Bill of Right to Land ownership screwed and dangerous clauses inscribed

3) Bill of Right to Wealth distribution in the fair management of Resources & Revenues collectibles, shares, Bonds etc.,

As a result to failure of delivery to Public Services, Value, Dignity and the collapse of Ethics is common-place.

Because of these, the insecurity level has been heighten in many ways to include social disintegration, instability and collapse, the political Economic Crimes of high cost of food and other basic needs for livelihood and survival with taking away (through instilling fear and scare tactics using Administrative Chiefs to collect foods from the local village farm) ready for harvest agricultural foodstuff from the country-side villages at throw-away price and re-distributing the same at exorbitant unaffordable price, is unacceptable.

The Public Service is an important national institution for public mandate deliveries, part of the essential framework of parliamentary processes intended to produce a success story for democracy. Through the legislative process, public servants contribute in matters that fundamental provide sustainable ways to render good governance to the people and the general society in a fair balanced manner, where peace and unity is guaranteed to all within the democratic mission. This means that, all are protected under the law against defaults of incompliance to public mandate.

Objectives of Bills Of Rights Code for Legislative Policy:

The Values, Virtue, Dignity and Ethics of Code of Law in the Bills of Rights for the Public Service sets forth Legal Obligation to guide, observe and support public interests by public servants (including the elected politicians) in all their professional activities. It will serve to maintain and enhance public confidence in the integrity of the Public Service. The Code will also serve to strengthen, respect, observe rules for, and appreciation of, the role played by the Public Service within the process of democratization.

The Code sets out Public Service rules and values as well as Conflict of Interest, health, education, employment, trade & investments, public land, Public wealth distribution, procurements & Public Bonds, and unemployment, creation of jobs situation.

Ministers are made responsible for preserving public confidence in the integrity of management and operations within their departments and for maintaining the tradition of political neutrality of the Public Service with its continuing ability to provide professional, candid and frank advice under checks and balances in transparency and accountability.

Public Service Values:

Public servants and leaders shall be guided by the Legislative policy Bills of Rights to provide a fair value-added service delivery in a mutual common interest of all in a balanced framework program plan while also observing the Universal policy agreement of the International Treaty including disclosure of information of wrong doings, and what happens to transparency and accountability with jurisdiction to Legal justification. These and many other public mandate requirement for public interest should be made clear in the constitutional process for policy enactment.

If these have not been completed as required, it is clear that plan to go for election in Kenya will still remain unfair and it will not be free and fair.

DEMOCRACY:

Democracy is people’s rule. Its sovereign power resides and rests with the people. People make decision how they wish to be ruled. The Rulership must incorporate what people want. What people want must be incorporated in the Devolved Policy Statement of Governance in the Bills of Rights. Without it, there is no legal obligation and protection shows, prospects for public interest will be respected or will be observed for compliance. Without it, there will be unfair treatment with insecurity, marginalization, extreme poverty, pain and sufferings of many who could be turned to be victims of circumstances by corrupt operators in the Government establishment who may choose to default in conflict of interest.

Public Leadership require a comprehensive support that must be seen and felt on the ground in a short-space-of-time immediately they take their position in Parliament. Public/People voices will be heard in Parliament through their Representatives. If this is not happening, then the person elected is a wrong person for the people.

People must choose to be respected by using their democratic rights effectively. It is the Foundation to inject what people want and it is a way for leaders to build trust to win public loyalty which is the stability and backbone for a strong stable Nationhood. Democratic values are based on political equality and landscaping. It is why Public Opinion is very important in a Democratic Society.

VOTING:

Voting is a right for all Citizens. It is in voting that people elect those who must take responsibility for their actions and inactions in serving public interests, in which case, voting public must beware to jointly support and vote-in good characters to Represent them securely in Legislative Assembly. It is here, public participate directly to voice concern and interest through their Representatives and engage in political process of democratization process to deliver Public Mandate and Policy Bill enactment.

THE MOMBASA PEOPLE ARE KENYANS:

Like many marginalized Kenyans, these Mombasa people must not be pushed to the corner or be branded illegal gangs. They are desperately voicing their concerns where political offices have closed all avenues for them to be heard for the past 50 years including since Independence. The Mombasa indigenous people are virtually left out to be squatters with no hope for better future, survival or meaningful livelihood. They are pouring their frustrations like everybody else. They are ordinary people who want a hearing. If Coalition Government cannot give a hearing, they have no business staying in power. Watch the Videos and connect the dots and see that the Coalition Government put aside and forgot why they were given a second chance to lead on a joint platform. Both the two Principals in the Coalition Government are doing things they swore they will not to do, things of illegal nature, illicit and unconstitutional.

The Mombasa people demands a hearing, it is their Democratic Rights……

Things must be done the right way. It is time that things are done the right way and it must be our way forward to political success story.

DISSATISFACTIONS AND FRUSTRATIONS OF PEOPLE/PUBLIC:

When people get dissatisfied the reactions in many cases are not favorable. Ciminals take advantage of such situations to make the conditions unmanageable. Responsible leaders will on the other hand, not wait for such fluid case-scenario to get out of control. It is sad that this Coalition Government do not care. It must be their way or the highway to destructions. This is a state of affair that must not be tolerated. Kenyans must unite together to stand against all forms of intimidation, marginalization, fear techniques, insecurity, poverty, hunger, theft or thuggery. We all must unite for peace and harmony and for fairness for common mutual interest. It is the people power that can shape our destiny and together we must speak in one voice to stand against injustices of any form or shape. We must unite without youths to demand justice, we must stand with women for inequalities and gender discrimination, we must stand together to demand for fair justice, we must not allow to be divided into tribal lines, we must demand for checks and balances, transparency and accountability and most importantly, that election cannot be done without Devolution of Counties Bill, Land and Finance Bills policy enactment.

To stand firm and protect our Democratic process for Reform Accord, we ensure that our Legal legislative Bills of Right are flouted or dangerous clauses are not secretly sneaked into the constitution, but are protected against default on our joint public mandate and public interest from Social and Political injustices and Economic crimes and plunder. It is our pride, valued dignity we must hold dear including preservation to our descent livelihood and survival.

The attached information’s and videos are supportive evidence to my observations as facts of case-scenarios.

Cheers everybody, enjoy your weekend and have a successful peaceful collaborations and interactions on Wayforward……!

Parliament a “key client” of Clinix Healthcare

We begin tonight with a new twist in the National Hospital Insurance Fund saga. Documents seen by NTV now suggest that Parliament itself has been dealing with the controversial firm Clinix for the last two years. In a technical proposal submitted to NHIF, Clinix cited the Parliamentary Service Commission as one of its key clients. The development has raised new questions about the ability of Parliament to resolve an issue in which it seems to have been a major player. And as Ntv’s Yassin Juma reports, we can also reveal that the National Security Intelligence Service had warned last month that civil servants were feeling cheated by the NHIF scheme.

Unknown attackers in a speeding car tried to blow up cars and a gas station in Mombasa using an improvised bomb on Saturday morning.

The 4.00 am explosion ignited a fire that damaged the front of a parked van and flattened its tyres but was quickly put out by employees of the gas station using gas cylinders.

The attackers in a Probox Toyota car fled after hurling a bottle filled with an unknown liquid.

The motive of the attackers is unknown but Intiaz Ali, the owner of the OilLibya Petrol station which is a stone’s throw from Mbaraki police lines opposite Pandya Hospital ruled out business rivalry as probable cause but declined to comment further.

“I have been doing business in this place for eight years and I have never had any problem with anybody” said Ali.

The Government is preparing to make yet another political attempt to delay or prevent the planned trials of four Kenyans at the International Criminal Court.

This time, however, the move appears to have support from both sides of the Grand Coalition. Previously, ODM leaders have been inclined to support international pressure for the two Kenya cases tied to the post-election violence to be heard and determined without delay. Political considerations changed that.

A high-level delegation will travel to The Hague next week to meet new ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and her outgoing predecessor Luis Moreno-Ocampo. It will include Cabinet ministers and officials from the State Law Office and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The visit is expected to see a last-ditch attempt to convince the court to delay the trials of the four accused until after the General Election. The DPP’s office has been working on possible trials for PEV crimes in Kenyan courts.

Challenging court

Attorney General Githu Muigai has confirmed to The Standard On Saturday that he is set to lead the high-powered Government delegation to The Hague. However, Prof Muigai described the visit as a “familiarisation tour”.

The trip comes just days after the unanimous rejection of appeals by the ICC accused challenging the court’s jurisdiction.

Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, former Head of the Civil Service Francis Muthaura, Eldoret North MP William Ruto and radio presenter Joshua Sang face international crimes charges in two separate cases.

Assistant Minister Lewis Nguyai, a defence witness for Uhuru at pre-trial hearings earlier this year, said the Government’s latest move was “good”. However, he was skeptical it would change anything, arguing that the ICC has been very rigid on the Kenya cases.

“The AG’s attempt is good, but it has no serious legal pivots to lean on. We can only pray that the delegation succeeds in their visit,” said Nguyai.

Belgut MP Charles Keter, a Ruto ally, also welcomed the move.

“Whatever can be done to ensure there is a delay so as to enable a level playing ground in the coming elections should be supported,” Keter said.

As if in preparation for this final push, Mr Kenyatta last week declared he would not talk about the ICC cases any more. The Gatundu South MP has repeatedly declared he is innocent and unfairly targetted. In the previous few months, Uhuru led ‘prayer rallies’ at which the court and those he saw as reveling in his misfortunes came under attack from some of his allies.

All efforts by the Government and the four accused to prevent a trial have failed to persuade ICC judges. Full trials are possible at any time after a status conference at the Hague-based court scheduled for June 11 and 12 this year.

The Kenya cases have put the political lives of presidential hopefuls Uhuru and Ruto on the line.

Despite recent disclosures that an integrity law in the pipeline might only bar convicted persons from running for office, the two will almost certainly face legal challenges based on provisions in the chapter on leadership in the country’s Constitution. It is not certain what the outcome would be under the reforming Judiciary led by Chief Justice Willy Mutunga.

International stakeholders

The legal requirement that they be physically present at The Hague during their own trials could also deny them an opportunity to campaign effectively. There are fears their elimination from the presidential race due to an ICC scheduling decision could be seen as interference in Kenya’s political affairs. This is partly why the move to delay the cases at least until after the election is said to enjoy wide support inside Government.

Prime Minister Raila Odinga, an ardent supporter of the ICC process, is said to be signaling support for the delay of the cases until after the March 2013 elections. Credible sources said Raila has been seeking the backing of international stakeholders for delayed trials. Three weeks ago, the PM was in London on a private visit where he held talks with British Minister for African Affairs Henry Bellingham. Reports of the meeting claimed Mr Bellingham stuck to the official line of support for the trials at the earliest convenience. During a trip to the US last month, the PM met several members of the United States Senate. It is unclear whether ICC issues were discussed.

“It is true, the Government has requested a meeting between the Kenyan team dealing with the ICC and the Office of the Prosecutor, mostly for familiarisation purposes,” Muigai said. He added that the Government delegation was also keen to assure Bensouda of Kenya’s full co-operation.

“We are going to give our official assurances that, as a Government, we have co-operated with her predecessor Moreno-Ocampo and we are going to continue to do so (with her),” the AG stated.

Prof Muigai, DPP Keriako Tobiko and technical staff from their offices will join members of the Cabinet committee on the ICC on the trip, which was previously scheduled for yesterday.

The group is expected to leave the country before the end of next week. While our sources indicate Cabinet ministers Otieno Kajwang’ (Immigration), Prof Sam Ongeri (Foreign Affairs) and Eugene Wamalwa (Justice) are among those who are set for the mission, Mr Kajwang’ claimed he had not been informed about it.

“I have not been told about it. I have no information at all,” said Kajwang’, who is a member of the Cabinet committee on ICC. Other members include its chairman, Prof George Saitoti (Internal Security), Amason Kingi (Fisheries) and James Orengo (Lands).

The group is also set to discuss ongoing plans in Kenya to reopen post-election violence cases. The DPP’s office has been conducting an audit on some 3,500 cases to determine which can go ahead. However, the ICC recently blocked Kenya’s appeal for access to evidence gathered by the prosecutor’s office to facilitate the revival of local cases.

Shaky security

Also to be brought to Bensouda’s attention are various local and international reports from different Government agencies pointing to a shaky security situation in Kenya if the two ICC accused running for president were barred from participating in the election on the basis of the cases.

The Government team also hopes to end perceived hostility between it and the prosecutor’s office over the two cases.

The Government is preparing to make yet another political attempt to delay or prevent the planned trials of four Kenyans at the International Criminal Court.

Challenging court

The trip comes just days after the unanimous rejection of appeals by the ICC accused challenging the court’s jurisdiction.

“The AG’s attempt is good, but it has no serious legal pivots to lean on. We can only pray that the delegation succeeds in their visit,” said Nguyai.

Belgut MP Charles Keter, a Ruto ally, also welcomed the move.

“Whatever can be done to ensure there is a delay so as to enable a level playing ground in the coming elections should be supported,” Keter said.

As if in preparation for this final push, Mr Kenyatta last week declared he would not talk about the ICC cases any more. This is a change from the previous few months when he led ‘prayer rallies’ at which the court and those he saw as reveling in his misfortunes came under attack.

The Kenya cases have put the political lives of presidential hopefuls Uhuru and Ruto on the line.

International stakeholders

“We are going to give our official assurances that, as a Government, we have co-operated with her predecessor Moreno-Ocampo and we are going to continue to do so (with her),” the AG stated.

Prof Muigai, DPP Keriako Tobiko and technical staff from their offices will join members of the Cabinet committee on the ICC on the trip, which was previously scheduled for yesterday.

Shaky security

The Government team also hopes to end perceived hostility between it and the prosecutor’s office over the two cases.

A scrutiny of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) scheme reveals a curious decision where two private medical facilites received the bulk of the first quarter disbursment of the new civil servants’ out-patient medical cover rollout.

According to documents presented to Parliamentary Committee on Health, out of the total Sh634,749,376 payments released to hospitals and clinics in the country, Clinix Healthcare Ltd, which opened most of its chains five months after the scheme was rolled out, got Sh202 million, making it the highest paid private clinic in the country.

Out of a group of 25 services providers sampled, Gertrude’s Garden Children’s Hospital (Nairobi) was found to be the least costly hospital with total claims of Sh49,216.67.

Over Sh84 million of the money went to eight of Clinix’s ghost facilities. They include RVR building Clinix (Sh8.5 million), Likoni Coast Cinix (Sh4 million), Kiambu Town Clinix (Sh3.2 million), Kiserian Clinix (Sh3.2 million), Ongata Clinix (Sh4.2 million), Thika Clinix (Sh3.8 million), KCB building (Sh3.5 million), Imperial Bank Clinix (Sh4 million) Uganda Road Clinix (Sh4 million), while Embu town Clinix got Sh3.2 million. Kisumu-Webuye Road Clinix was allocated Sh3.2 million.

Clinix Medicare Limited had won a one-year contract to offer NHIF outpatient services to public servants and attended to 17,000 patients out of the total 164,000 — principals and dependants included.

Another questionable deal was between the provider and Meridian Medical Group amounting to Sh83 million, with its six service clinics that were not opened before the roll-out of the new medical scheme in January getting Sh30 million. An alleged fraud is supected to have been done in Nyali branch (Sh5.05 million), Nyeri (Sh7.4 million), Malindi (Sh5.6 million), Meru (Sh4.9 million) and Nakuru (Sh5.1 million).

Curiously though, the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) which is a national teaching and referral hospital with 26 departments and handling thousands of patients daily only received Sh1 million while Kisumu’s Meridian Centre, which handles an average 20 patients a day received Sh4.8 million.

Mbagathi District Hospital which provides care to hundreds of HIV-positive and TB patients daily was only allocated Sh61,875. Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital which caters for over two million people who stay in Nairobi’s populous Eastlands got nothing. And so was Nairobi County’s busiest maternity, Pumwani, that got nothing despite being the most preferred delivery centre for most civil servants in the city.

The Embu town Clinix which received Sh3.2 million is said to be only a trailer container parked at the side of the road with neither furniture or personnel.

The Parliamentary Committee on Health, led by its chairman Nyaribari Chache MP Robert Monda, that has been investigating the NHIF scam has so far established the firm’s representative could be phony. They also questioned NHIF’s choice of service providers and whether those accredited could offer the services needed.

Also raising eyebrows was the NHIF’s decision to pay accredited hospitals and clinics in full even before they delivered their services, fearing that unscrupulous operators may take advantage of the pre-payments by diverting funds to other purposes or lodging fictitious claims.

Government hospitals

“The legislators feared that some service providers began ambitious expansion plans using the pre-payments instead of spending the funds on medical services for beneficiaries,” said Dr Monda.

For many, the rolling of the NHIF scheme was considered a positive step towards offering citizens a functioning health service that would have eliminated fraud by insurers and reduce the burden of meeting medical expenses by a majority of Kenyan employees who may ill afford the costs.

“This was rather curious and that is why some of us asked for a stop to the second disbursement of the funds for investigation to be done,” says former NHIF Chairman Prof Richard Muga who was suspended together with the rest of the board.

It all came to effect on the January 1 when NHIF agreed to adopt capitation payment system where payments are made in advance to accredited health service providers on quarterly basis.

According to a former board member, the system was seen as best bet to help check fraud in claims payouts where insurers are billed after the patient’s treatment by the various health facilities and reduce payments for outpatient service.

Users were also required to choose the most suitable facility where they wanted to get their services.

But fraudsters took advantage of the capitation method to rip the fund off millions of shilling on its first quarter of disbursment. Prof Muga said the board and the management disagreed when it was discovered payment was being made to phony facilities with no capacity to provide medical services.

“While we all agreed capitation was a good thing, the board and the managment failed to agree on procedures,” said Muga. The bone of contention here was the curious choice by most users to prefer clinics rather than well known Government and mission facilities.

Essential services

A doctors union say the fact that the Medical Services Minister Anyang Nyong’o and the ministry’s Permanent Secretary Mary Ngare tried to protect the managers of the fund smelt scandalous.

“It is questionable how the managers of the fund and the board arrived at the two private facilities which do not have a national presence while leaving out public hospitals that attend to thousands of Kenyans,” said Dr Boniface Chitayi, the Secreatry General of Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU).

The medics are now calling for the restructuring of the fund to make it universal such that the members can access healthcare services anywhere in the country.

This can be achieved with the total implementation of the Musyimi taskforce report, which the medics believed addressed the many issues that bedevil the health care sector.

“We call upon all Kenyans to stand up for what is right. To reject this scheme in total will be detrimental to those who have already started remitting to the fund,” said Dr Victor Ng’ani, KMPDU Chairman.

The taskforce, chaired by the Secretary of Administration at the Ministry of Public Health Kioko Musyimi was set up to look into the issue of strengthening health services following the December strike by doctors, wants the Government to finance a three-year health stimulus package to improve the poor state of public health facilities.

It recommended that the Treasury should allocate a minimum of Sh217 billion over the next three years to revamp health infrastructure, human resources and medicines and medical supplies.

DOCUMENTATION OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE LATE ALBERT OWINO NYAOKE`S LAND BY SYNOHYDRO CO-OPERATION THROUGH KIMIRA OLUCH SMALL HOLDER FARM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (KOSFIP). A shameless act of impunity and violation of fundamental rights of poor people has occurred:

PHYSICAL ADDRES: Village-Kogelo

Sub location-Kogweno Oriang East

Location-Kogweno Oriang

District-Rachuonyo North

County-Homa-Bay

FAMILY

The late Albert Owino Nyaoke died on 16/12/202 Left behind a widow Elizabeth A Nyaoke and seven children namely:

Peter Odhiambo Nyaoke

George Ouma Nyaoke

Victer Otieno Nyaoke

Everlyn Achieng Nyaoke

Halfline Atieno Nyaoke

Judith Anyango Nyaoke

Millicent Akinyi Nyaoke

The family has stayed in their home ever since and this is the only place they know as their home. The late Nyaoke secured A Title Deed for the said piece of Land, and up to date the title deed number 717 is still in the latter’s name.

DESTRUCTION

It was in July 2010-The Contractor Synohydro Co-operation without notice came and cleared all the vegetation within the homestead of the said family, destroyed the fence and any existing tree which was in the compound leaving the Home a bear field. The Family has tried to get explanation for the said destructions through the relevant authority and it has always felt on deaf ears. The first person they consulted for the same was there area chief (Kogweno Oriang Location) Mr. George Osumba who told them that the said project is a government project and it is beyond him

The contractors also passed through the farm and went ahead and cleared the existing crops which were due for harvesting.

ENCROCHMENT:

The destruction proceeded with a road construction, separating the mother’s house and the son’s house making it more difficult for the family to move from one house to the other. Since the road constructed is very busy in use. This has made the family crippled in conducting any meaningful business within the home stead since the vehicles which transport construction materials are frequently passing there.

In the said situation it is no longer a home where one can do any development. The small children cannot excise

their rights of playing in the compound;

No livestock can be kept including the common local birds; gweno;

Nobody neither the government administration nor the construction company has consulted the family about the construction in the middle of the existing home and the result of the economic and social consequences.

Since the construction of the road started two months ago the widow has never had a glimpse of sleep as the vehicles are passing there all day long 24hrs.The right of privacy has become a thing of the past, the rate of air and water born diseases is alarming in the said family as a result of passing vehicles and water logged due to poor drainage at the main entrance of the house.

INSECURITY:

The family has been leaving with a lot of fear of their own security as the road next to the house has become a major

road for everybody using it 24/7 and numerous threats from those who use the road.

CONCLUSION:

The organization, Ministry of Regional Development Authorities. Kimira –Oluch Small Holder Farm Improvement Project (KOSFIP) through the constructor Synohydro Cooperation has done nothing for the family, except promise by word of mouth that they will build for the family a house, no documentation to support the same.

How greedy officials killed a

dream meant for youth

Fund managers insist no money was lost as audit questions the capacity of the organisation to manage funds allocated by the government. Photo/FILE

By JULIUS SIGEI

Posted Friday, June 1 2012 at 22:30

A fund set up six years ago to alleviate run-away youth unemployment in the country ended up becoming a cash cow of select government officials, a new report shows. Read (Otuoma told to step aside over lost cash)

The multi-billion shilling Youth Enterprise Development Fund, commissioned in 2006, was systematically looted by corrupt government officials through fraudulent claims, inflated prices and circumventing of procurement procedures.

The Saturday Nation this week obtained the fund’s internal audit report detailing the misappropriation of millions of shillings in fraudulent claims.

The audit report found questionable imprest claims and payments, including one instance when Sh80,000 was allegedly spent on buying mandazis in one morning, as well as lost millions in questionable procurements.

A purchase of 210 motorcycles to be used by constituency officials of the fund led to a further loss of Sh10 million.

“In the first tranche, the fund purchased 110 motor cycles each priced at Sh289,500. The specification, according to the local purchase order number 08803870 of October13, 2010, was Honda XL 125 SL Japan. But the invoice received by the fund from Ryce Motors dated September 20, 2010 reflects Honda XL 125/200, which is different from XL 125 SL/200,” the report reads.

For this, the fund spent Sh31,845,000 when it could have spent Sh29,348,000 if it had gone to Toyota East Africa, the report says.

In the second tranche, a loss of Sh7,670,000 was incurred after 100 motor cycles were sourced from Ryce East Africa Ltd, who supplied XL200 Japan motorcycles at a unit price of Sh343,500.

The specified type would have cost Sh266,800 per unit, saving Sh76,700 which the fund lost per unit.

The audit also queried the economic viability of a higher engine capacity of 200cc instead of the recommended 125cc.

“Even then, the delivery of 110 motor cycles, the payment voucher of Sh15,922, 500 could not be found for verification,” the report reads.

A further loss of Sh446,600 was incurred through the purchase of batteries.

Training sessions were another conduit through which the money was siphoned out.

The audit team queried the examination and analysis pertaining to the business development services noting, that the pre-disbursement trainings were shrouded in mystery, and casting doubt on the authenticity of surrender documents and occurrence of the activities.

“It was also noted that the entire amount of Sh4, 231,000 spent on agri-business sensitisation could not be accounted for. The audit team also notes cases of exaggeration of fuel consumption and misuse of work tickets and falsification of youth payment schedules by officers of the Fund.”

The audit team also noted that county sensitisation expenditure was mangled in fictitious receipts, doubtful names, signatures and identification numbers of participants.

“Even where lunch was provided, officials went ahead and bought lunch for participants,” the report reads.

The tendering process was also circumvented with the evaluation committee overstepping its mandate by asking the tender committee to redo the long list to include a particular company it favoured.

The audit report cites the case of Mucmar Management Concepts Ltd which, despite not prequalifying as required by law, eventually clinched a tender worth Sh2,444,500 to provide consultancy services.

And in a bizarre inflation of prices, audit officials, who requested not to be named, told of cases in which the fund’s stickers were procured for up to Sh17,000 each, instead of the Sh300 market rates.

Three stickers were placed on each motorcycle, translating to Sh51,000 per motorcycle on stickers alone, enough to buy an extra boda-boda motorcycle for youths.

In some cases, the lunch budget was inflated up to six times.

For instance, a lunch that ordinarily costs Sh200 cost the fund Sh1,200 during a training session in Manyatta.

Travel refunds for training sessions in North Imenti and South Imenti cost 2,000 per participant, which was five times above the budget.

Fictitious travels by senior managers who raked in hundreds of thousands of shillings through per diem payments were also noted.

Falsification of participants’ identities was also common.

For instance Sh1,335,500 advanced to a senior research and policy officer who had travelled for an Upper Eastern pre-disbursement training could not be accounted for.

The fund has received Sh3.8 billion from the Treasury since its inception six years ago. It was formed after the 2005 referendum on the Constitution, which the government lost.

“The government was apprehensive after the loss and it decided to form something to attract the youth and avoid the same situation in the 2007 elections,” an officer said.

The fund lists organising youth trade fares, building sheds and stalls for the youth, starting a mandatory pre-financing training for youth and helping them form savings and credit societies as its flagship achievements.

It has so far disbursed Sh5.4 billion to 148,000 youth groups, trained 2,500 young people in 24 constituencies, and helped 6,000 young people to secure employment abroad, especially in the Middle East.

When it was formed, there appeared to be a hurry to roll out its programmes to stem the impatience of jobless youth.

This meant that proper structures were not put in place to prevent pilferage by officials.

The audit followed an anonymous memo dated December 21, 2011 to the board of directors from a group of 15 employees (who withheld their names).

The letter raised various allegations, among them financial impropriety, incompetence and abuse of office.

The investigation was launched into the allegations levelled against the chief executive and six senior managers from February 6, 2012.

The fund’s chief executive, Mr Juma Mwatata, could not be reached for comment yesterday as he was said to be attending an International Labour Organisation meeting in Geneva, but public relations officer Benson Muthendi told Saturday Nation that most of the allegations had been explained by the management.

“No money was lost. When an auditor queries certain purchases, it does not necessarily mean money was stolen,” Mr Muthendi said.

Eight senior managers have, however, been suspended pending investigations.

They include the finance manager and the manager in charge of lending and investment. Two other managers have since resigned.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption agency confirmed that it has begun investigations, but sounded the alarm that some suspended officials were interfering with evidence.

“We are receiving relevant and useful information, which is assisting investigators. The investigation is complex as it involves travelling around the country. Some officials have destroyed evidence but we are making good progress,” Mr Simani told NTV.

He could not divulge to Saturday Nation who the commission was investigating.

“The commission is still analysing data and at this stage of investigations we cannot name names,” Mr Simani said.

This is not the first time an initiative to address youth unemployment is getting into problems.

Only last week, the fund denied allegations that it lost Sh150 million in dealings with the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Co-operative Organizations (Kuscco).

Youth Enterprise Fund board chairman James Gitau on Wednesday told journalists that the fund was within its mandate in all its dealings with Kuscco.

The partnership agreement was signed in February, 2011 with the first disbursement of Sh75 million being done in the first week of April, 2011 — seven months after the proposal was made, a delay Mr Gitau argued was occasioned by the need to carry out due diligence before drawdown.

“Contrary to what has been said, the loan exposure with Kuscco as at now is covered 200 percent by a bank guarantee from the Cooperative Bank. The guarantee is for Sh300 million, whilst the fund has only released Sh150 million,” he said.

Through direct sourcing

Kuscco was one of the partners sampled, which did not pass through procurement, according to the audit.

Others were Ramat, Wananchi Sacco, Magtech Inspiration Centre, Thika Training Centre and Amiran.

Amiran and Kuscco’s partnerships were procured through direct sourcing, but the audit report faults the fund’s failure to report the same to the Public Procurement and Disposal Authority as required by law.

On Friday, Amiran Kenya’s head of development and public relations, Gilad Millo, defended the deal with the fund, saying most of the services Amiran offered were specialised and were, therefore, sourced directly.

“We have not broken any law. We offer crucial services in this country most of them directly sourced,” he said.

In October last year, the Kazi Kwa Vijana (jobs for youth) programme suffered a jolt when the multi-billion shilling World Bank project intended to boost youth employment was cancelled.

This was after an audit review revealed that officials at the Office of the Prime Minister had misappropriated millions of shillings.

The World Bank had offered a grant of Sh4.3 billion ($43 million) to support the Kazi Kwa Vijana scheme.

About 190,000 youths were supposed to have benefited from the latest phase of the initiative, which was expected to have been significantly expanded due to the financing from international aid agencies.

But a World Bank financial management review found that millions of shillings meant for young Kenyans had instead been paid to a number of senior officials in the PM’s office in contravention of the agreement between the bank and the government and in breach of procurement procedures.

The review identified a number of officials who had spent up to Sh37.5 million on seminars, which never took place, illegal allowances and payments to companies for services that do not appear to have been rendered.

Youth Affairs Minister Paul Otuoma has consistently denied allegations of impropriety in the management of the Youth Enterprise Fund.

“The fund did not have the capacity to reach out all over the country and we had to leverage with financial intermediaries that had the infrastructure and Kuscco applied after having fulfilled the conditions,” Dr Otuoma explained to Parliament last week.

National Youth council delegates now want the Mr Mwatata to step aside over the matter and have threatened to camp at Harambee Avenue to pressure President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga to intervene.

Man held over Nairobi blast

released

By ZADOCK ANGIRA

Posted Thursday, May 31 2012 at 19:20

Police have released a man they suspect to be Emrah Erdogan, who they interviewed in relation to Monday’s Nairobi blast that left one dead.

The man had boarded a flight to Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

The man, who police circulated his photograph, was holding a German passport under the name Lahbazi Tarek.

He was then handed over to the anti-terror police for questioning and was later released.

It was not immediately clear how long he had been in the country. His flight was to depart JKIA at 7.30am.

Detectives told Nation that the man resembled Mr Erdogan, who they suspect was behind the blast that has so far claimed one life with 35 others injured. Police had indicated that it was not clear whether the suspect was a Turkish or a German national.

It is suspected that he might have entered the country on May 3 together with another Swiss national Magd Najjar and proceeded to Eastleigh in Nairobi.

At JKIA, the man told detectives that he was destined for Lubumbashi.

The man insisted that he was a manager of a power project in Kinshasha but opted to go through Kenya since he could not go by road owing to the war in the region.

“He told us that he had gone to Germany to purchase some electrical equipment,” said one of the detectives who was interrogating the man.

Kenya, after months of delay, launches

assault on Somalia al-Qaida stronghold

McClatchy Newspapers (MCT)

Wednesday, May 30, 2012

NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya has renewed its long-stalled offensive against al-Qaida’s affiliate in Somalia, just days after the Kenyan government blamed the Somali Islamists for an apparent terrorist attack in downtown Nairobi.

For the second day in a row, Kenyan naval forces on Wednesday bombarded the Somali seaport of Kismayo, a key stronghold of Somalia’s al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab insurgents, while ground troops attacked Afmadhow, a major town that Kenya says it must capture before advancing by land against Kismayo. A Kenyan military spokesman tweeted Wednesday night that Afmadhow had fallen.

Port fees at Kismayo are al-Shabab’s primary source of funds, and its capture by Kenyan troops would be a major blow to the organization, which once dominated southern Somalia. Al-Shabab control has been steadily shrinking, however, under military pressure, not just from Kenya but also from Ethiopian forces conducting their own offensive, and from Ugandan and Burundian forces under the African Union that have pushed al-Shabab from Mogadishu, the country’s capital, where an internationally backed transitional government hangs onto control.

Kenya has now formally joined the African Union peacekeeping force as well, possibly opening its military campaign to more direct military assistance from the United States, which shares the regional governments’ desire to curb al-Shabab’s power and recognizes the transitional government in Mogadishu.

(EDITORS: BEGIN OPTIONAL TRIM)

An assault on Kismayo has been expected for months, since Kenyan troops first invaded Somalia in October after suspected al-Shabab guerrillas had conducted a spate of kidnappings near the Somali border, including one in which a British tourist was killed. But the offensive stalled, and for months little has been heard from the battlefield on what Kenyan troops were up to.

That changed Tuesday morning, when residents of Kismayo reported that the city had come under bombardment from the sea. Kenya later said that one of its ships had opened fire after al-Shabab forces onshore had come under attack.

On Wednesday, the bombardment resumed, residents said, describing a chaotic scene as many attempted to flee the city.

(END OPTIONAL TRIM)

“Day and night aircraft fly over us,” said Mohamed, a resident reached by phone who asked that his full name not be divulged because of fear of al-Shabab retaliation. “People are afraid.”

The city’s al-Shabab-controlled radio station went off the air Wednesday afternoon, though it was unknown whether it had come under attack.

(EDITORS: BEGIN OPTIONAL TRIM)

“Some residents have started to flee the city and are settling outside of town,” said a local freelance journalist who asked not to be named for fear of retaliation.

(END OPTIONAL TRIM)

There were conflicting reports about the ground assault on Afmadhow, which straddles the main road to Kismayo, 60 miles to the south.

Maj. Emmanuel Chirchir, a Kenyan military spokesman, used his Twitter account to announce that Kenyan forces had captured the town, which has been in al-Shabab hands since 2009, and that they were now focused on taking Kismayo.

But a spokesman for Ras Kamboni, a Somali militia fighting alongside Kenyan troops against al-Shabab, offered a different version of events.

“We have been fighting and shelling Afmadhow today,” said the spokesman, Abdinasir Serar. “Our plan was to take full control of the town today. For now, we settled at the outskirts of the town. We will launch another operation early in the morning.”

(EDITORS: BEGIN OPTIONAL TRIM)

Most Kismayo residents refuse to talk to the media for fear of backlash by al-Shabab, which rules the city ruthlessly, demanding adherence to strict ultraconservative Islamic laws and taxing the shipments through the seaport.

(END OPTIONAL TRIM)

It is unclear whether the timing of the assault on Kismayo was tied to a suspected al-Shabab attack in Nairobi on Monday that wounded 28 and blew the roof off a used-clothing bazaar in a busy pedestrian mall. The Kenyan government now believes the explosion was caused by a bomb, possibly using fertilizer. The U.S. Embassy on Wednesday told American residents in Kenya that Monday’s explosion was the third attack since Saturday, when, the embassy said, grenades had exploded at a refugee camp and a hotel elsewhere in Kenya.

Kenya: Terror a Threat to

Peaceful Poll – Saitoti

Sources including a bomb expert have revealed that a fertiliser-based bomb was used by suspects behind Monday’s blast at Assanand’s house along … ( Resource: Kenya: Fertiliser-Based Bomb Used in Blast

Nairobi, Kenya — Internal Security Minister Professor George Saitoti has singled out terrorism as a major challenge the government is facing as it prepares for the next general election.

Saitoti says the government has put in place all necessary measures to secure the country during the polls, but it is still worried about the increased threat of terrorism.

“This of course is urgent because we will be having a general soon. It is the desire of Kenyans to have a peaceful election, that is what Kenyans want,” Saitoti said.

“But there is this other burden of terrorism… that is where we need the assistance from friends like you, because this is also something that can disrupt things,” the minister told US Senator Christopher Coons of Delaware and Ambassador Scott Gration who paid him a courtesy call at his Harambee House office Wednesday.

The minister said Kenya is paying a price for a problem that was “never ours because the Al Shabaab have now resorted to even use Improvised Explosive Devices to attack innocent people.”

Saitoti is worried that unless concerted efforts are put in place, the Al Shabaab and other terrorist elements are likely to continue terrorising Kenyans.

“Kenyans want to be peaceful as they elect their leaders. I can assure you we have put in place all the necessary measures,” he said.

He has appealed to the international community to help Kenya maintain security in the country, particularly during the critical poll period.

Senator Coons and Ambassador Gration pledged that the US will continue working closely with the Kenyan security forces in fighting terrorism because it is a global challenge.

Already, Federal Bureau of Investigations detectives are involved in the investigation of Monday’s Moi Avenue blast where 38 people were wounded when a home-made bomb exploded at Assanand’s House.

MP claims life in danger over NHIF probe

Parliamentary Health Committee chairman Robert Monda has expressed fear for his life over a report on recently concluded investigations in the civil servants’ medical scheme.

The chairman claimed his life was in danger after receiving several threatening calls over the past three weeks.

Dr Monda, who has keenly steered the investigations, said Thursday that he believes powerful forces are out to scuttle the report which was due for tabling in Parliament.

“Those must be associates of bad intentions out to distract the progress of concluding this report,” he said at a press conference at Parliament Buildings.

He spoke of frustrations he has encountered seeking additional security from government following the threats.

“I am telling the country that my life is in danger. I have communicated my fears to the head of Public Service Francis Kimemia asking for enhanced security because currently my environment seems to be insecure,” he said.

“The kind of calls I am receiving are very threatening,” he said at Thursday’s press briefing, amid reports that members of the committee are divided on some of the recommendations contained in a report now with Speaker of the National Assembly Mr Kenneth Marende.

Protect corruption

The MP said he is frustrated with the government’s lack of concern. “If the government wants to protect corruption, let that be clear to Kenyans because when we are unearthing sensitive issues, to the government it is business as usual,” he stated.

He said he has also reported the matter to the Police Commissioner asking that his security be beefed but no action has been taken three weeks down the line.

“I know I am doing this on behalf of Kenyans, is it a shady deal when I say what I am facing and ask for protection? I can’t walk around the city or drive the highway to Kisii because the government is less concerned about what is happening to me,” said the Nyaribari Chache MP.

“I am therefore asking Kenyans to stand by me, if anything happens to me, hold the government accountable,” he said.

Dr Monda becomes the second MP in the team to express fear for his life over the sensitive investigation on the controversial implementation of the first quarter phase of the civil servants medical cover scheme.

Early this month, Nyando MP Fred Outa claimed that he had been receiving anonymous calls threatening him if he does not go easy with the investigation.

He told the Nation that the committee was under pressure from forces outside unhappy with the committee’s work.

Earlier in Parliament, assistant minister Mwangi Kiunjuri had questioned how the committee’s report had leaked out to the press.

Intrigues surround the parliamentary investigation with claims that it has been “watered down”.

Business and political interests have played out prominently during the sensitive investigation, both within and outside the committee with reports of crafty plotting by politicians pushing for protection of their allies who have been implicated in the scheme that was meant to provide affordable healthcare to 216, 789 civil servants.

“This issue is tough. There are more than 12 faces of interests. I have never seen a war like this one,” sources in the committee said.

Tempers flare

Some members of the committee confirmed the intrigues to the Nation with some saying some of its recommendations do not come out as strongly as had been expected. They argue that recommendations do not tally with the findings.

Members are now trading accusations with those supporting the report accusing those against of insisting that some names be removed.

Tempers flared up at the committee’s meeting in Naivasha last weekend where the team had retreated to compile findings and recommendations for the final report. It is said that members nearly exchanged blows at the retreat after disagreeing on some of the findings and recommendations.

At Parliament Buildings on Thursday, one member is said to have lost his cool banging the table in a Clerk’s office after discovering that some of the recommendations had not been included as had been agreed on in Naivasha.

Members of the committee are said to have been under pressure from their colleagues who were lobbying to protect “their own”.

An assistant minister showed up in Naivasha where the group was compiling the report and is said to have lobbied some members of the committee including claims that he offered some money.

The assistant minister is a former ally to one of the private health providers at the centre of the intrigues but the two have since parted ways over a deal gone sour.

The assistant minister, a PNU MP has allegedly been pushing to have his ally turned foe adversely mentioned in the report while seeking protection for the other accused health provider.

Members have pointed fingers at each with claims of influence by the two private health providers. They are also divided on which ministers should be implicated.

Nyong’o, Otieno face NHIF probe

By PETER LEFTIE

Posted Wednesday, May 30 2012 at 22:35

A parliamentary committee wants two Cabinet ministers investigated for their alleged role in the NHIF scandal.

In its final report seen by the Nation, the committee on health wants the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to investigate Medical Services minister Anyang’ Nyong’o and his Public Service colleague Dalmas Otieno.

The committee wants the two probed over the alleged irregularities in the medical insurance scheme for civil servants.

The MPs also called for the investigation of other top officials in the Medical Services ministry and the National Hospital Insurance Fund.

Those to be investigated include Medical Services permanent secretary Mary Ngari, the Director of Medical Services, Dr Francis Kimani, the Registrar-General Bernice Gachegu, former NHIF chief executive Richard Kerich and all members of the former NHIF board.

The investigations should be completed within three months, the committee chaired by Nyaribari Chache MP Robert Monda, directed in its report expected to be tabled in Parliament on Thursday afternoon. (READ: New report questions waste, secrecy at NHIF)

“The committee recommends that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission institutes investigations into the following persons with a view to ascertaining their roles in the irregularities in the scheme, including the pilot phase,” the report notes.

The team expressed concern over Prof Nyong’o’s involvement with Mr Jayesh Saini, the owner of Clinix Healthcare Ltd, one of the clinics at the centre of the scandal.

The minister admitted that he had met Mr Saini several times despite being aware that he was doing business with NHIF and that his involvement in the scheme’s pilot project could have given Clinix Healthcare Ltd undue advantage.

Ms Ngari and Dr Kimani were faulted for not doing enough to investigate the alleged irregularities in the roll-out of the scheme.

The committee ruled that Prof Nyong’o had no powers to suspend the former NHIF board chairman, Prof Richard Muga, as only the President can effect such suspension.

Similarly, Prof Muga did not have powers to suspend the former CEO without the board’s express resolution. The committee accused the registrar-general of interpreting the law in a skewed manner to favour Clinix Healthcare.

“Such selective interpretation of the law by the State Law Office only exposes the country to risks associated with possible registration of companies owned or associated with persons of adverse character,” the committee said.

It said that Mr Saini could not explain why he registered Pharma Holdings, the parent company of Clinix, in an offshore island country while it trades in Kenya.

It also recommended that the CEO of Clinix Healthcare Ltd, one Zac Toddy Madahana, be investigated for presenting false evidence before it.

Prof Muga on his part is to be investigated in connection with reports that he owns Star Hospital, one of the private service providers which participated in the scheme.

However, the committee recommends that the government ensures that the medical insurance scheme is not discontinued.

Both President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga have previously intervened in the NHIF saga with the President last week demanding a speedy investigation.

NHIF probe report delayed

The Health parliamentary team is yet to conclude the eagerly awaited report on investigations into alleged irregularities in the civil servants medical scheme.

The team was expected to table the report in Parliament on Tuesday but chairman Robert Monda said it would need more time.

“We have put a lot of effort into the report, but the time we have had since Tuesday is not enough,” he said.

“Mr Speaker, we are asking for the indulgence of this House so that we can bring a conclusive report to the House,” he said, asking for an extension of up to the first week of June.

Members of the committee have been holed up in a room in at Parliament. On Tuesday, Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim declined to give the team the two-week extension, granting them one more week.

Mr Maalim, who last Tuesday ordered the team to present the report yesterday, directed that it must be tabled on Thursday morning.

“It doesn’t matter whether you work day and night and burn the midnight oil but get report ready,” he said.

“We realise the sensitivity of the matter and the need for thorough work, but two weeks is an absolute outer limit for what the Speaker expected. One week should be adequate,” he ruled.

“The report is meant to enhance, enrich and improve the quality of debate by bringing out a lot of issues. For you to keep asking for

more time when members are anxious to deliberate on this matter is not acceptable,” he said. (READ: NHIF scandal culprits will be prosecuted, says Kibaki)

MPs have requested ministerial statements, filed questions and others have approached the Speaker requesting an adjournment motion to discuss the issue as a matter of national importance.

The team started compiling the report last Friday after collecting evidence from players.

It has in the past two months questioned and collected evidence from the NHIF board, ministers for Medical Services and Public Service who were directly involved in the conception and rollout of the scheme.

Owners and management of Clinix and Meridian hospitals, which are at the centre of the alleged irregularities, were also summoned to appear before the committee.

The team also questioned and received evidence from the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board, the Association of Private Health Providers, the Union of Civil Servants of Kenya, the Kenya National Union of Teachers and the Registrar of Companies, among others.

Investigations have put Clinix and Meridian Medical Group on the spot over their selection to take part in the scheme, with claims that they enjoyed undue favour.

The private health providers were paid a total of Sh318 million, almost half the amount of total payments made in the first quarter.

Kenyan capital Nairobi’s centre rocked by

large blast

The BBC’s Kevin Mwachiro: “There were lots of clothes and shoes that were strewn in front of the store”

A large explosion has hit the centre of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, at a shopping complex on Moi Avenue.

A BBC reporter says 28 people have been taken to hospital with injuries.

The cause of the blast remains unclear. Initial reports suggested an electrical fault might be to blame, but Prime Minister Raila Odinga has said the blast had a terrorist link.

There have also been reports of a man dropping off a bag at the site of the blast, minutes before the explosion.

There have been several grenade and bomb blasts in Kenya since it sent troops into Somalia last year to tackle the al-Shabab Islamist militant group.

Al-Shabab has repeatedly threatened to stage revenge attacks against Kenya.

Mr Odinga told reporters at the site of the blast: “This is terrorism… this is a heinous act, we are under threat, but we will not be cowed.”

‘No power fault’

Police commissioner Mathew Iteere had earlier said: “We are able to prove it was not a grenade attack or bomb attack… from the preliminary conclusions we do think it was an electrical fault,” he said.

Some 28 people are said to have been injured by the blastBut Kenya Power, the country’s sole electricity distributor, says initial investigations have ruled out any electrical malfunction.

In a statement, the company said:

“A rapid response technical team from Kenya Power visited the premises upon learning of the incident and found out the following:

The affected building has no ground mounted transformer inside it or outside that would explode

The team found all the electrical connections to the building including the cutouts (fuses) on the Kenya Power side that would otherwise blow in the event of a short circuit inside the building intact

On the Kenya Power network that supplies the general area, no protective devices operated. Protective devices would switch off power network to prevent a fault in a premises, such as the affected building from coming back into the rest of the network.”

It concluded that it was “therefore not possible that the explosion was caused by an electricity fault”.

The BBC’s Kevin Mwachiro says glass and shoes and clothes from the small shops inside the building have been scattered across the street.

TV pictures have shown people pouring into the streets from nearby buildings to get away from the scene of the fire, the AP news agency reports.

Moi Avenue is a major road which would have been busy during the lunch hour, AP says.

According to an eyewitness, there was a huge blast and debris flew in different directions injuring people in the vicinity, the Nation newspaper reports.

The powerful explosion shook buildings in the surrounding area and the evacuation process began, the Nation says.

Date: Thursday, May 24, 2012, 2:50 PM

This is a very cowardly act which needs an emergency and full comprehensive investigation to unearth the whole truth about this on going NHIF’s saga. If it is true that Prof Nyongo wired the said 900 Million “Jirongos” to the Jersey Island, then he needs to step down from his public office until when the investigations will be concluded and successfully addressed. He can not continue to occupy his office while he is a principal suspect. I do hold journalists at fault about these kind of office abuse. The journalists are the liaisons between the common man in the street and the authorities or elites in Kenya. They are supposed to keep us posted on cases like this from the beginning to the end. But what I have always been observing is nothing but poor journalistic reporting. They report on certain sensitive issues when they first come up and we never hear about them after that. There are several cases such as this that we have heard about briefly and then they disappear from our sites for good. We never even know how they were concluded and what happened to the culprits. Take for example the former DCJ Nancy M. Baraza’s case. Nobody knows what happened to it or what hearing stage it is. Mike Mbuvi AKA Sonko has been arrested and arraigned several times in Nairobi for being a public nuisance and the last time was when he cause a commotion at our Int’l gateway. He was arrested from Continental house and arraigned at the Kebara law courts. And that was the end of the story.

The late sister Mercy C.Keion’s along with marathon runner Samuel Wambui’s cases received wide coverage in the initial reports and were just left to die a natural death. They are still mysteries to these day. Chief wipe Midiwo raised a furor when he publicly announced that there was a clique of people who had conspired to hire mercenaries to eliminate the Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga. We have never heard any more information through our media reporters about this issue. The two grown up children of the late MP for Nyandarua North Hon Josiah Mwangi Kariuki testified before a parliamentary committee, and that was the end of it. The theft of the 4.2 Billion “Jirongos” meant for the FPE at the Education Ministry investigations went under silently and the thieves are silently enjoying their loot while our poor kids are suffering. They don’t have books to write on let alone read, pencils and furntures to sit on. Some parents are so poor that they may not even afford to buy a pencil for their children and yet you find some rich and well to do crooks in Nairobi stealing their kid’s donated money to buy these items. There are very many corruption cases that we have been told about and some touchy ones have been reported in the news media but the problem the journalists never stay on these cases all the way to the end. Their job is to keep fishing out this information and keep us posted. They have been leaving us in suspense for a long time and it’s time they get up and do the needful. They should be following these cases on a monthly basis if not weekly.

I am so saddened about this corruption saga going on at the NHIF. All these funds which were channeled to the rich people’s pockets could have been used to develop and improve our local hospitals. Cancer is becoming predominant in Kenya now and we don’t have the equipments to detect it at the initial stages. There are only four types of cancers which can be detected at the initial stages, prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and skin cancer. Prostate cancer is becoming a number one killer in men over 65 years old. In Kenya we have sufficient resources to afford chemotherapy equipments but the crooks in Nairobi care less about the poor and plunder their live saving funds ruthlessly. These same journalists never even give us full information about what is going on at our national city. They don’t stay on cases as they are supposed to be. When I read the following story, I cried because many innocent people are dying out of various cancer diseases while funds to buy cancer treatment equipments have been misappropriated just as the school funds were. There will be hunger in Kenya this year and many more Kenyans will perish because of these Nairobi crooks. The media houses should hire better and capable investigative to report and keep the masses posted on such touchy issues.

May God bless Kenya

SAITOTI A HERO! TELL THAT TO THE BIRDS!

A man who grabbed election certificate from the true winner of the poll in Kajiado, a man who protests to Prof Philip Alston whose findings were that Kenyan Police were involved in extrajudicial killings: ”You should have released the information to the government instead to the public!” he said. Mark you! He was the internal security minister who should have been in the forefront in welcoming the Professor’s findings for the benefit of scurity in the country.
This great professor/politician knew vey well that he was never a Maasai but maintained a bold face to be one for the sole purpose of grabbing Maasai land and not to mention fooling Moi into making him a VP thinking he was a Maasai when even the way he pronounced words defined his ancestry. Even the way he danced with the Maasai morans recently in Kajiado was not only discordant but also betrayed him. This is the man who ordered by his boss the Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga to allow FBI investigate the police extrajudicial killings took no action by totally ignoring the lawful order. Was this loyalty?
If Kaplana Rawal is the one heading the inquiry into the helicopter crash then we already know the verdict- a waste of the taxpayers’ money.
May God rest his soul in eternal peace but only after cleansing him of his hypocrisy and shameless political opportunism.
