Big hurdles thwart Jubilee's laptops plan
When President Uhuru Kenyatta announced in 2013 that all the 1.2 million Class One pupils would get laptops, educationists proposed instead that the government consider building computer laboratories.
Being an election year, however, the politics of expediency held sway.
The one-laptop-per-child idea in Jubilee's Digital Learning Programme was meant, ostensibly, to entrench information and communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning process in primary schools.
During roll-out in May 2016, however, the policy shifted from laptops to tablets due to the cost implications.
Five years and billions of shillings later, rather than transforming into a reality, this grand idea has become rather moot.
Not all the pupils in primary schools have received the tablets and those that have got some are no longer using them. Others have also been stolen.
The initial target was to equip all Standard One learners in all the 23,951 public primary schools with laptops by December 2016, but as of July this year, only about 19,000 public primary schools countrywide had received the tablets.
Apart from allocating funds to the project, little seems to be going on in training of teachers as only about 70,000 had been trained by 2016.
And this financial year, National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich allocated Sh11.9 billion to the programme despite a recent government report pouring cold water on the project.
A report by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) revealed that, despite the fact that public schools had ICT facilities supplied through the digital literacy programme, only a few use the tools in enhancing teaching and learning.
"This was interpreted as either unwillingness by teachers to integrate ICT in the learning process or a lack of capacity to do it," the report dated May 2018 reads.
Teachers were expected to use ICT as a tool to enhance teaching and learning across all learning areas to enhance learning outcomes:
"This is one of the core competences in the reformed curriculum and one that gives learners an edge in the dynamic global labour market. It is also a skill that helps them become life-long learners."
The report indicates that less than half of teachers, at 39 per cent, were using ICT to enhance learning despite having the facilities and reliable power.
According to acting ICT Authority chief executive officer John Sergon, over a million devices have been distributed to over 19,000 public primary schools countrywide.
He disclosed that the Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology (Jkuat) manufacturing plant rolls out 600 devices daily, while the Moi University factory makes 1,250 also daily:
"So far, over 100,000 learning devices have been assembled locally."
"Kenya has taken off as far as digital schooling is concerned. ICT has now been integrated in the new curriculum, the training of teachers from colleges on ICT courses is ongoing.
"In addition, ICT has been infused into the ongoing piloting of new content in Kenya. Lastly, there are plans to build resource learning centres in each school to sort out other classes," he explained.
Auditor-General Edward Ouko said his office was yet to start an audit of the tablet project, which started to receive funding as early as 2013, with Sh17 billion being the initial funding for the project.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) also indicates, in its latest report, that more than 80 per cent of teachers have knowledge gaps on ICT.
The country is changing the education system from 8.4.4 to 22.214.171.124.3 with the segments of ECDE — two years, Primary — six years, Junior Secondary — three years, University — three years, requiring teachers' new orientation.
"The new curriculum completely changes the approaches to teaching and learning," TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia explained while addressing head teachers in Mombasa recently.
Despite the ICT authority putting on a brave face over the project, the schools have had different experiences.
According to teachers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the Education ministry rolled out a programme that only trained them for a few weeks.
"We received the tablets but we are not using them yet in class because we are not very conversant with the technology," a teacher in a Machakos County school said.
Kenya Primary School Head Teachers Association (Kepsha) boss Shem Ndolo however said he had not received any complaints.
In Kisii County, a number of primary school head teachers said they didn't know where to take the tablets for repairs and maintenance.
A spot check by the Nation in select schools showed that there had been little effort by the government to make technical corrections on the hundreds of gadgets that have developed problems across the country.
At Kisii Primary School for instance, there are seven tablets that are not working and have been dumped in a store.
Head teacher Grace Nyamweya said no technical officer from the ministry or the supplier had been sent to mend them.
And owing to shortage of the tablets, teachers handling the pupils are also forced to conduct up to three learning sessions so that all the learners can be accommodated.
The school has more than 200 pupils in Standard One alone, Ms Nyamweya said.
There was a similar situation at Getembe Primary School in Kitutu Chache South.
The head teacher, Mr Evans Onsembe, said the tablets programme caused a rise in transfer of pupils from private schools that could not afford ICT learning.
"Enrolments have always been on the increase since the tablets programme came into effect and, being a public school, it obviously becomes difficult to turn away children seeking vacancies here," he said.
In Nyandarua County, teachers have reverted to old methods of teaching due to shortage of the laptops.
Though they were meant for Class One studies, the schools have developed a programme to ensure all pupils benefit by acquiring basic computer lessons.
At St Joseph Primary School in Ol Kalou Township, the teacher-in-charge of the project, Ms Rachael Njenga, said the introduction of the tablets was a motivation to the children but complained that they are too few to adequately serve them.
"We received 48 laptops which are now shared by all pupils. Most them can easily work and operate the machine. We have no maintenance challenges because the county education office has the capacity to handle them," Ms Njenga said.
In the North Rift, lack of electricity and poor internet connectivity has been a major drawback.
School managers faulted the government for rushing to introduce the project without putting in place proper infrastructure.
"It seems this tablet project will not succeed. We've resorted to normal teaching as the tablets are not effective. We only make use of them during computer lessons," Eldoret Premier School principal Geoffrey Mbugua said.
He decried the lesson content on the tablets as shallow as it does not cover most of the aspects in the syllabus.
"Teachers waste a lot of time managing these tablets at the expense of teaching coupled with poor network. We feel this project was rushed; it could have been introduced gradually as computer lessons first," Mr Mbugua said.
It also emerged that poor internet connectivity and electricity were a major challenge.
At Hill School Eldoret, learners are using the tablets but low connectivity is a major problem.
"We are having a few problems here and there including internet connectivity and content but we are coping with it well," Principal Nelson Sitienei said.
The situation is not any different at the neighbouring Uasin Gishu and Central primary schools.
In West Pokot County, pupils and parents termed the project as misplaced priority.
They argued that the county was grappling with other burning issues hence no need for the project.
Many schools in the region lacks more important facilities than the tablets for pupils.
Pupils of Lopelekwa Primary School in Chepareria ward, Pokot South Sub-County, for instance are forced to learn under very squalid conditions because of dilapidated classrooms.
The head teacher, Mr Mathew Chumil Karuya, said that the school received 36 tablets but they have not used them.
"We have been forced to lock the gadgets in a cupboard since we cannot work with them in the dust," Mr Karuya said.
He said that the school, which is up to Standard Seven level, has only three classrooms that are incomplete and they are too dusty.
"I have been trained together with my deputy but we cannot use the laptops since we lack a conducive environment for teaching," he said.
In Baringo County, many schools which had been chosen to pilot the project are stuck due to rampant cases of insecurity coupled with poor internet connectivity.
A Nation survey in the area revealed that many schools lack proper infrastructure with pupils forced to sit on stones in the open.
At Chewara Primary School for instance, the laptops are not being used after power supply to the generated by the solar panels was disconnected following strong winds.
It also emerged that the laptop project had boosted enrolment at the school with the enrolment hitting 100 but most of the pupils have since dropped out.
In Trans Nzoia County, teachers are finding it hard to use the devices.
They say they find them overburdening and a source of confusion as a teaching method.
A spot check at various schools in the region revealed that teachers are now facing challenges of engaging learners and that the devices are dragging syllabus coverage.
Some of the schools have already given up using them and only use them on rare occasions.
Those that do use them are still struggling to master the new gadgets.
Kitale School in Trans Nzoia West is among the schools which have managed to put the devices into use. The school received 119 devices.
The head teacher, Mr Hesborn Ngaira, said that when the devices were received, curiosity among the pupils was high, and as a result it attracted more learners leading to increased enrolment.
"We anticipated that with the devices effectively used, learning would become easier; but with time challenges in using the devices are becoming more apparent than is their usefulness to learners," he says.
Mr Ngaira noted that both learners and teachers were confused as to whether to continue with lessons using the devices or to leave them and proceed with the usual method of teaching.
He cited the challenges of high consumption of power, sharing of tablets among Class One and Class Two pupils, shortage of ICT teachers, time consumption and breakages as some of the difficulties that the programme faces making it difficult for it to be effective.
Kitale School's DLP programme coordinator Alice Masinde said a lesson could take more than an hour since the pupils don't understand the use of the devices.
"It takes time to arrange a class and to ensure a child understands and when you come back the next day you have to repeat several times," she observed.
She added that instead of becoming a learning tool, the devices seem to be a source of entertainment for the pupils.
The programme's coordinator in Ngonyek Primary School, Ms Alice Chebyego, said that the time allocated for lessons should be increased.
She said much of their time is consumed in arranging the devices and powering them on before a lesson starts.
"We take about 20 minutes in arranging the class and some of the devices fail to power on giving us a hard time in putting a class to order before we continue with the lesson," she noted.
She said they sometimes share the tablets with Class One pupils, which is also becoming challenging to strike a balance of how to use them effectively.
National Parents Association chairman Nicholas Maiyo called on the government to speed up electricity connection to all schools.
"All schools should have electricity. The high cost of electricity should also be addressed as it is overburdening to the schools," Mr Maiyo said.
Some parents also complained that some schools are yet to receive the laptops.
"My child, who is in Class One, has been pestering me that he has not received the laptop promised by the government," Mr Joseph Limo, a parent from Tot in Elgeyo Marakwet County, said.
Breastfeeding helps fend off breast, ovarian cancers
Failing to breastfeed is a risk factor for breast, ovarian and uterine cancers.
Dr Geoffrey Mutuma, the head of oncology and pathology research at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri), said women who give birth over the age of 30 are more susceptible to breast cancer.
According to Dr Mutuma, breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer primarily through two mechanisms.
One way is that the human milk scientifically known as hamlet induces the death of tumour cells found in the breasts.
He says clinical research has proven that the complex components of human milk secretion lower the risk of breast cancer in women who breastfeed their babies exclusively for a certain period of time.
As a result, the hamlet provides protection against the development of breast cancer.
Breastfeeding also offers protection against ovarian cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and type two diabetes.
Another way in which breastfeeding reduces chances of getting cancer, according to Dr Mutuma, is because of the differentiation of breast tissues and reduction of lifetime number of ovulatory cycles.
"I would urge women, especially working mothers, to breastfeed exclusively for at least six months.
"This will not only be beneficial to the baby, but also to the mother as it lowers the chances of getting breast cancer," Dr Mutuma, who is a former chief government pathologist and founder of Nairobi Cancer Registry, said.
Many women fear that if they breastfeed, they would have sagging breasts.
However, researchers confirm that breastfeeding doesn't make breasts wilt more.
In a 2007 study of 132 women, breastfeeding did not have a significant effect on breast ptosis, the medical term for sagging breasts.
But age, smoking and the number of pregnancies a woman had contributed to the shape of their breasts.
According to University of Kentucky's plastic surgeon and researcher Brian Rinker, the older a woman is and the more pregnancies she's had the more her breasts are likely to shrink.
"Women may be reluctant to breastfeed because of this unfounded myth that doing so means the end of youthful breasts," Rinker said.
"Now, expectant mothers can relax knowing breastfeeding does not sacrifice the appearance of their breasts, but helps in preventing breast cancer.
Dr Mutuma said breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women.
"In every nine women in Kenya, one will have breast cancer. Hormonal changes are the major cause of different cases affecting a woman.
"I would urge every woman in the childbearing age to go for cancer screening and vaccination," he said.
Breast and cervical are the most commonly diagnosed cancers among women. Breast cancer affects 34 out of 100,000 people while cervical cancer affects 25 out of 100,000 people.
Activists protest death penalty verdict for Kamande
The sentencing of 24-year-old Ruth Kamande to death has once again rekindled the debate on capital punishment.
On one hand, there are those who have called for the commuting of the sentence to life imprisonment, which allows for the rehabilitation of offender.
Others laud the sentence as appropriate given the nature of Kamande's crime.
Kamande committed a grisly murder. Transcripts from the judgment hearing state that she stabbed her boyfriend Farid Mohamed 25 times, leading to his death.
She ignored his cries for help and deliberately blocked his exit from the house, even as neighbours gathered and urged her to stop and open the door.
"The accused inflicted each stab, not in a frenzy as she alleged in her defence, but deliberately and intermittently.
"Her action was calculated to inflict pain and cause death slowly but assuredly. That is clear proof of malice, of spite, callousness and hatred," Justice Jessie Lessit said in her judgement.
She said that the nature of Kamande's crime, and her perceived lack of remorse, contributed to her death sentencing.
But human rights group Amnesty International on Friday asked that Kamande's death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment.
AI Executive Director Irungu Houghton said in a statement that there is no credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime any better than other lawful punishments, and asked the court to call for Kamande's rehabilitation instead.
Amnesty International is not alone in this position.
In 2007 the Kenya National Commission for Human Rights (KNHCR) wrote a paper on the abolition of the death sentence, terming it "the ultimate violation of human rights".
"It is a violation of the fundamental right to life, which the Government has pledged to protect under the Constitution and other international human rights instruments that it has ratified. Similarly, the death penalty amounts to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment," KNHCR stated.
The death penalty, the commission argued, is irreversible and disproportionately affects economically disadvantaged Kenyans who cannot afford good lawyers.
In addition, upholding it bucks a worldwide trend that has seen over two thirds of the countries in the world abolish the death penalty in favour of life imprisonment.
Prisoners on death row have the same quality of life as other prisoners and are able to take part in work and study programmes, the only difference being that they are not deployed for work outside the prison.
The mandatory death sentence was declared unconstitutional in the supreme court in December last year when two convicts on death row, Karioko Muruatetu and Wilson Thirimbu Mwangi argued that it impugned their right to life.
This means that judges still retain the discretion to hand down the death penalty, but that there is room to sentence convicts to a lesser punishment instead.
Crimes for which one can be sentenced to death include murder, robbery with violence, attempted robbery with violence and treason.
In light of the Supreme Court ruling, the government was ordered to review all current death sentence cases, meaning that convicts on death row will get another day in court.
The last execution was conducted in 1987 and Kenya currently has no active hangman.
MPs indict Rotich and Adan over 'poisonous' sugar
Members of Parliament have resolved to indict two Cabinet secretaries and a number of parastatal heads for endangering the lives of Kenyans by allowing 'poisonous' sugar into the market.
Members of the National Assembly Committees on Agriculture and Livestock and that of Trade, Industry and Co-operatives want Cabinet secretaries Henry Rotich (Treasury) and Adan Mohamed (Industrialisation, recently moved to East African Community) held culpable for their actions that saw the entry into the market of the sugar, feared to be laced with elements of heavy metals — mercury, lead and copper.
The 38-member committee, currently in Mombasa for report writing, was initially split in the middle on who should carry the cross, with some defending the Cabinet secretaries and instead putting the blame on parastatal heads.
However, threats of a dissenting report forced the other members of the joint committee, co-chaired by Mandera South MP Adan Ali and his Kieni colleague Kanini Kega, to endorse the recommendation.
"We have agreed to indict the CSs and the parastatal heads as well as recommend that they be investigated further by the responsible government agencies for failing to perform their duties," a member of the committee said.
The committee also wants the management of Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs), Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Sony Sugar Company Ltd and sugar directorate at the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) to take individual responsibility for failing to perform their roles effectively.
The probe was in response to Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda's request for a ministerial statement on whether sugar in the market is safe following claims by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i that it contained traces of heavy metals.
This came as it emerged that Kenyans will wait longer to know the results of whether the sugar is safe or not after Mr Kega said the committee will file its report without conclusive findings from the Ministry of Health, Kebs and the government chemist.
"The 10 days that the Speaker gave us are now over. We have also concluded our investigations but the challenge we have is that the government agencies have been unable to provide us with their final results on the suitability of the sugar," Mr Kega said.
Mr Rotich is on the spot over the three suspicious gazette notices he issued in the importation of duty-free sugar last year.
In the gazette notice number 4536 of between May 12 to August 31, 2017, Mr Rotich did not specify the quality and quantity of sugar to be imported despite his Agriculture colleague, Mr Mwangi Kiunjuri, advising so.
The notice also permitted everyone, including those not licensed, to import the commodity thereby compromising quality and standards.
Mr Adan Mohamed has been accused of failing to ensure the sugar importation policies are implemented.
Kebs on the other hand failed to ensure that quality standards are adhered to.
KRA has been accused of failing to implement the report of the 11th Parliament.
The report recommended that KRA forms a multiagency with AFA and DCI to check the porous border points where contraband sugar was entering the Kenyan market.
The committee is expected to finalise its findings and recommendations this morning before presenting the report in the House tomorrow when MPs resume sittings after a short recess.
The CS also intervened and issued a gazette notice to allow 14 companies that had imported outside the duty waiver period to have their consignments cleared by KRA without paying the import duty.
The notice number 9801 had extended the duty waiver period from August 31 to December 31 but would later be amended by another issue of notice number 10149, which reduced the December date to October 13.
But still, the private firms would still have their consignments delivered in December duty-free.
The CS is also on the spot for failing stop companies that had been blacklisted by the 11th Parliament.
KRA was also required to punish its staff who aided in sugar smuggling business but KRA Commissioner General John Njiraini defended them, saying they did nothing wrong.
AFA is accused of failing to ensure that quality and quantity measures were adhered to when the sugar was imported.
Sony sugar has been indicted for being used by private entities to import the 'poisonous' sugar as well as a conduit to evade import duty.
The recommendations will put the multiagency team from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on high alert.
In its preliminary findings of sugar seized by the joint team and that in the market, the Ministry of Health told the committee that it had not found traces of heavy metals as claimed but high moisture content, moulds and yeast in the 174 samples tested in selected parts of the country.
It was a similar case for Kebs as its acting managing director Moses Ikiara said that also traces of copper and lead had been discovered in two samples of the commodity seized in Eastleigh and Ruiru, currently detained at the DCI, Nairobi.
The committee members will be seeking to clear their names after their July 5 preliminary report was dismissed by Speaker Justin Muturi, Majority Leader Aden Duale and Minority Leader John Mbadi as being inconclusive.
Over 50,000 students to get Helb loans
A total of 59,500 new students joining universities this year will get loans from the Higher Education Loans Board (Helb).
Chief executive officer Charles Ringera said so far the agency has received applications from 23,200 students.
First time loan applications were opened from June 1 and will be closed on August 30.
"To date 23,200 applicants have applied and printed the forms; and out of the 23,200 printed forms, 2,345 have been submitted for processing," Mr Ringera said.
Out of the 615,773 candidates who sat for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) last year, only 70,000 made the cut-off grade of C plus to join university.
This year the government allocated Sh9.6 billion to Helb to support students. It was cut from the previous budget of Sh10.1 billion, making it the first cut in recent years.
Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows university enrolment declined to 520,893 this year from 564,507 a year ago — making it the first drop since the government stated making public student numbers in the 1990s.
Admission to public universities of students who scored C+ and above over the past two years has reduced the pool of learners available for private varsities and parallel degrees.
The falling student enrolment looks set to ease pressure on Helb, which has struggled in recent years to cater for the needs of the students, many of whom are from poor families.
The allocation of Sh9.6 billion includes cash recovered from past loanees, meaning that the actual allocation from the Treasury is much lower.
Already Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed has extended defaulters waiver for one month after the agency raised Sh500 million by end of June.
Ms Mohamed said the waiver was extended because past beneficiaries were willing to repay their loans.
"Based on enthusiasm that most loanees have shown its imperative that we extend the repayment period so that we give them an opportunity to repay," she said.
Mr Ringera said Helb had recovered Sh508 million from 9,112 loanees who had paid within the amnesty period which started on May 3 and ended on June 30.
"A total of 5,881 loanees are holding Sh971 million and have expressed willingness to repay in lump sum but they have been unsuccessful in their quest to beat the set deadline," Mr Ringera said in a letter to Ms Mohamed dated June 29.
According to Helb, it cannot trace 17, 000 defaulters while by last year 85,000 beneficiaries were owing the agency Sh9.6 billion.
A total of 169,909 graduates had fully repaid their loans worth Sh13.2 billion by September 2017, while some 136,783 beneficiaries were servicing loans worth Sh20.7 billion.
Since 1974, the loan scheme has supported over 645,000 Kenyans at a total cost of Sh72billion.
Since 1974, 396,680 loan accounts worth Sh47.5 billion have matured for repayment; while 264,000 loanees holding Sh24.5 billion have not.
Of the 396,680 loan accounts, a total of 175,003 loanees have completed their loan repayment valued at Sh16.7 billion.
In 2016/2017 alone, the Board recovered Sh4.1 billion which accounted for 40 per cent of the Helb student financing budget of Sh10.2 billion for the year.
Trump's politics spreading fear and resentment across the world
United States President Donald Trump is living up to what many people said about him during his campaigns: He is unpredictable whenever he opens his mouth.
If there are people living uncomfortably whenever Trump is in the glare of TV cameras, it is his handlers. His recent goof on Russia's President Vladimir Putin has put US intelligence agencies in a dilemma over the 2015 presidential polls, which the latter is accused of interfering with.
This and so many others — like the removal of the US in the climate change campaigns — has cast doubt on whether he is up to the task of projecting the US as a global leader in many issues.
Delivering the Mandela Annual Lecture recently in South Africa, his predecessor Barack Obama made comments that seemed to indirectly criticise Trump.
Obama said we live in uncertain times as he hit out at climate change deniers, race-based migration policies, unbridled capitalism and strongman politics. These, without doubt, were veiled attacks on Trump.
I agree with Obama that there are times when one needs to step back and get some perspective. Trump and his theatrics has reached such a stage.
Trump is popular in the West, especially when it comes to immigration issues, but it is time he listens to his advisers. Though he has taken an about-turn on the Putin remark, he should reflect on what Obama has said about his presidency: It is perpetuating the politics of fear and resentment across the world

Enhance reading culture by embracing library services
Many Kenyans, especially the youth, find it difficult to search for information from books and other printed materials. The internet culture, though good, is not helping the situation much as information "over-crowd" makes it difficult for authentic information access.
I have visited the Kenya National Library, Nairobi Area, numerous times. Situated in Community, about one and a half kilometres from the city centre, the library has ultra-modern facilities, a quiet ambience and a lot of materials. It is housed in a clean, modern, well-aerated three-storey building that is easily accessible by private and public means. It provides free parking and a bus stop is just metres away on Ngong Road. It is a walking distance from the CBD.
The library charges Sh20 per day and offers free membership to adults and children. For Sh20, one can access all its publications, free internet, local dailies and e-books.
The library is equipped with relevant and fairly updated reading materials. The catalogue is computerised and shelves are well arranged and labelled, making it easy to locate reading materials. It has very helpful (by Kenyan public service standards) employees.
The library has a child-friendly reading section on its first floor complete with children's games, reading materials and attendants. It is a perfect place to have your schoolgoing child babysat as they read and learn over the weekends and during school holidays. The library is open up to 6pm, Monday to Friday, and 8am to 5pm on Saturdays. It is closed on Sundays.
One would, ideally, expect that the library staff is overwhelmed with work. With all these facilities, however, it baffles me that Kenyans do not take full advantage of the library. It actually bothers me that more schools do not bring students to the library to study.
Silima Muchai, Nairobi.
Reading many of former US President Barack Obama's books, watching his speeches on YouTube and analysing his public lectures, I have concluded that he is the embodiment of eclectic literature.
It is noteworthy that a main factor that contributed to his ascent to the presidency was his writing — as depicted by the success of his novel, The Audacity of Hope. He is also respected for his impeccable articles in academic journals.
Reading the book, Dreams from My Father, you will identify Obama as a zealous gentleman who never takes chances with opportunity.
As a pursuer of education, Obama gets to live the philosophy of his political mentor, Nelson Mandela, who once said: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
In a class project, one of my students presented clips of Obama delivering a speech and taking pupils through children's stories.
With his impeccable writing and oratorial skills, it is, therefore, deducible and conclusive that Obama built his legacy by embracing the flame of literature.
In our African orientations, grandparents are the epitomes of oral traditions. Therefore, the fruition of the literary skills in Obama can be attached to his occasional visits and evident attachment to his grandmother in Kogelo Village.
The glamour and splendor with which Barack Obama was received with on arrival in Kenya and his reception at south Africa over the week greeted with me with awe. Even after retirement as American president, his legacy accords him unrivalled respect and recognition.
Obama is identified as an all-round character; a personality whose legacy is multidisciplinary. In his biography, The Audacity of Hope, he portrays himself as a shrewd skimmer.
He has on several occasions launched and officiated economic forums, meaning he is zealously interested in transformation of the world economy. He has initiated and executed missions to combat criminal and terror groups. This illustrates his concern on global security. On several occasions, he interacts and shares with the clergy, denoting his sense of spirituality.
I once told my students to collect and assemble teaching and learning materials for demonstration of a lesson on managing stage fright and qualities of a good narrator, of which a student with the most ideal items would get a reward. To my surprise, one student came with a flash disk, and therein were two clips of Barack Obama: one delivering a speech and another taking pupils through children stories. I didn't see any apparent reason of not doubling the reward for the student because his research and material collection was a perfect march for the lesson.

Executive, Legislature read form different scripts on CS summons
The relationship between the Executive and Parliament is headed for a collision after senior government officials expressed reservations about the number of times ministers are summoned by MPs.
A senior member of the Executive said Cabinet secretaries spend a lot of time seeking answers and appearing in Parliament.
The issue is compounded by the fact that the Senate and the National Assembly seem to be working at cross purposes as they at times could be investigating the same issue and send invites to a minister to appear before their committees at same time.
The two Houses are investigating the Ruaraka land saga, Solai dam tragedy, Kenya Airways and several others.
The chairman of the Senate ad hoc committee on the dam tragedy, Mutula Kilonzo Jr, said the issue can be sorted administratively by the two Speakers agreeing on what each House should look into.
He, however said Parliament will not shy away from summoning ministers on matters that are of national importance.
"Cabinet secretaries are not just asked to appear before the committees. They are given a seven-day notice," Mr Kilonzo said.
"The reason they are asked to come is because Parliament is a House of Hansard. Written answers cannot be put in a Hansard. Ministers should strive to manage their time."
National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi last week dismissed an attempt by senators to investigate the Solai tragedy that killed more than 40 people.
He said the committee was wasting its time since the Senate has no mandate over government organs.
Most summons have been issued to the ministries of National Treasury, Interior and Agriculture.
A minister was recently summoned to appear before different committees more than 20 times in a month.
There was a standoff in Parliament on Tuesday last week when a Senate committee demanded that Interior CS Fred Matiang'i appears before it in person to answer queries relating to the dam tragedy.
This is despite having provided answers presented by Chief Administrative Secretary Patrick Ntutu.
State officials who spoke to the Nation said some MPs seek questions from a minister then leave immediately before an answer is delivered.
"Recently, a Cabinet secretary was asked nine questions. The MPs who had asked them did not turn up. Only three questions were answered. This is despite the CS having arrived in time and waited for the lawmakers for 30 minutes," an official who requested anonymity said.
The 2010 Constitution was supposed to cure the problem but Cabinet members are now in Parliament for up to three days a week.
In the last Constitution, Cabinet ministers were drawn from the House. Many of them spent more time Parliament than in their offices.
Open up golf to grow sport in the country
The Kenya Commercial Bank Karen Masters Golf tournament that ended yesterday produced thrills and good scores. The event, in its second edition, attracted top-quality players after it was incorporated into the South Africa Sunshine Tour, which saw the top prize rise to Sh2.4 million.
Some of the top players came from Africa's golfing powerhouse.
The partnership will improve the quality of competition, and the sport in East Africa. Already, Kenya has been given five slots in the Sunshine Tour with the five players who made the cut at the Karen event, gaining automatic entry into the South African Series.
It is good news that Sunshine Tour plans to have more events in Mombasa and Uganda. This should be supported and encouraged. More sponsors should come on board.
The Kenya Open is set to be transformed into a main European Tour event — meaning that few Kenyan players will be invited to the tournament. That is why the Sunshine Tour events will come in handy for local professionals.
Implementation of the proposal to start the Kenya Open Safari Tour should also be hastened. The Safari Tour will help to refine local players, besides keeping them busy.
From the look of things, none of the current crop of Kenyan professionals can win the Kenya Open or a Sunshine Tour event since most are in their sunset years. That is why the Kenya Golf Union (KGU) must up its game in helping clubs to nurture players from a young age.
It goes without saying that golf in Kenya is still an elitist sport. Access to clubs is still expensive. The KGU needs to come up with affirmative action to grow the game. A public golf course will be essential to give talented but less privileged Kenyans a chance to play.
Alarm as children miss vaccines due to health workers' strikes
A prolonged health workers strike last year has cost the country its gains in immunisation coverage, exposing children under one year to polio, pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Statistics from the Ministry of Health show that the gains made in improving immunisation uptake have sharply declined in many counties in the past three years.
The ministry said that by last year, out of 864,619 recorded births countrywide, only 65 per cent of the children underwent full immunisation, with 76 per cent recorded for a vaccine primarily used against tuberculosis, BCG (Bacillus Calmette–Guérin).
According to the Economic Survey 2018, the coverage dropped from 1,101,279 (69 per cent) immunised children in 2016 to 1,014,894 (63 per cent) in 2017.
The 2017 figure is the lowest coverage since 2005, when it stood at the same level.
According to the Nyandarua Director of Health Services, Kariuki Gichuki, the number of unimmunised children in the county and the country as a whole had continued to increase every year.
"This predisposes the county and country to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. It's easier and cheaper to immunise children than to treat them of the diseases," Dr Kariuki said.
He gave the example of measles treatment, saying the budget was enough to vaccinate about 100 children.
According to the data, the worst immunisation rate was recorded in June last year, when the nurses' strike began, recording a 46 per cent coverage. This forced the ministry to offer crash vaccine services after the four-month strike.
Healthcare services in all the public facilities ground to a halt last year when nurses went on strike between June and November for 152 days. The industrial action came hot on the heels of the doctors' strike, which began on December 5, 2016, and ended on March 14, 2017.
Consequently, nearly 500,000 children were not vaccinated against some of the world's most debilitating diseases such as polio, pneumonia, meningitis, measles, influenza and hepatitis.
In an overall analysis, 21 counties registered above the projected 10 per cent dropout rate in the immunisation coverage last year.
Data from the Division of Vaccines and Immunisation and The District Health Information System indicate that by last year, a majority of counties did not meet their target coverage in the provision of the Penta 1 and Penta 3 (Pentavalent) immunisations, which are given to children to protect them against multiple diseases.
Pentavalent is a mandatory vaccine introduced in 2002 for all children. It is given in three doses to protect a child from five life-threatening diseases: Diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B and haemophilus influenzae type b. Mandera County trailed at 30 and 35 per cent coverage in Penta 1 and Penta 3 coverage, respectively. Kiambu led in Penta-3 at 100 per cent.
Other routine vaccines introduced afterwards include PCV 10 in 2011, measles second dose in 2013, Rota Virus in 2014, Immunised Polio Vaccine in 2015, while in 2016, the ministry switched from measles only to measles-rubella, which are all performing dismally.
In Nyandarua County, the measles vaccine coverage reduced from 15, 429 in 2014 to 12, 248 in 2017.
According to Dr Kariuki, the statistics are a wakeup call to all to vigorously create awareness and reach out to immunisable children.
"The body has its own immune system; the importance of routine immunisation is that it helps the body to produce antibodies, which prepare it to fight preventable diseases," he said.
To mitigate the challenge in the county, the Department of Health is using mobile phone alerts sent to mothers a day before the immunisation date.
"What we are doing is to document the mothers' mobile phone numbers at delivery then computerise the due dates for an automatically generated alert," said Dr Kariuki.
Ms Jane Njeri, a community health educator, says some of the immunisable diseases have no cure while others cause permanent disabilities, or studded growth.
"Some of the preventable diseases such as tuberculosis are expensive and time consuming to treat. Diarrhoea is also a big challenge for our children, yet it is also immunisable," said the health educator. She advised parents to adhere to the Mother-Child booklet, which contains information on pregnancy, delivery and post-partum course, immunisation, nutrition and other data to monitor the child.

I found The Widow's Watcher to be so engrossing and fascinating. The need for redemption and forgiveness is ever present as two unlikely but emotionally similar people seek relief from the guilt that haunts them.
When grieving wife and mother, Jenna, encounters Lars Jorgensen, an "old bastard" she is at her last straw, her emotions shredded by the tragic deaths of her entire family. Lars has his own haunting past of a wife and two children that disappeared and only his mentally unstable wife returned.
Together Lars and Jenna form a conflicted bond and alliance. She is determined to find the truth behind the disappearance and he is resolved to find a way to help her survive the life that lies ahead without her family.
It is a touching novel, often haunting, about two lost souls attempting to find delivery and peace.

Talbot FCSI MBA
A Brief
Business Experience
My first career was as
a stockbroker where I gained both institutional and retail
experience in both equities and fixed interest stocks. My time there
covered the gilt bull run of 1982 and the 1987 crash. I was fortunate
to spend time on the floor of the Stock Exchange both as a broker
and as a jobber (market maker) as well as to become a Member in 1986.
My last position in 1990, as a junior director, was managing
£50m. Companies that I worked with include Panmure Gordon, E.B.
Savory Milln and Cobbold Roach. I have kept my stockbroking interest and
I remain a Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities
& Investment.
Subsequent to my stockbroking
career I set up ICI Hungary, turned around a packaging business and
gained an MBA from City University at Ashridge Business School. My
entrepreneurial streak has also included importing pictures from
Canada and financed oil exploration, not to mention a host of other
potential ventures. These various experiences have given me a
thorough understanding of business and people in various cultures
from both an emotional as well as intellectual point.
My first steps into coaching
were through a personal development seminar in February 1995. This
taster launched me on a path of discovery. This has led me to Santa
Monica, California to train as a personal development facilitator,
to running seminars in France, Antwerp and London and to training as
a life coach. I started up my coaching practice in 1997 in an office
close to Borough Market in Southwark before moving to Smithfield in
the City and here, Canary Wharf, in January 2000.
My initial training was with
Coach University, CCUI, and Insight Seminars amongst others.
More recently I have done courses including a diploma in
Mastery in Coaching with Newfield and the Practitioner
Level in Neuro Linguistic Programming. I am a member of the
Association of Coaching and was the first Director of Development of
International Coaching Federation in the UK. Outside work
I am Chair of some Almshouses in Spitalfields where I am also
involved with the church.

- Groh v. Ramirez case brief summary
- An informant told the police they had seen a large amount of firearms go into Ramirez's home. Officer submitted an application to the magistrate that included a detailed list of the weapons they were going to seize but the actual warrant did not identify any of the items
- The police searched the home but found no weapons. They gave Mrs. Ramirez a copy of the warrant but not the application. The following day the police gave Ramirez's attorney a copy of the application
- The warrant was clearly invalid. Just because the application was descriptive does not mean that the warrant was and therefore invalid
- The warrant fails because it is general and specificity
- Police: even though the warrant was invalid the search was reasonable
- Warrantless searches in homes are presumptively unreasonable
- The warrant didn't describe any of the items to be seized at all
- This is a civil case where the Ramirez is suing the officer for infringing on his rights. The courts is saying that the police officer clearly infringed and knew that the warrant was defective therefore you need to pay him money
- Difference from Garrison
- No reasonable officer would look at this warrant and think that it was valid!

Energy cost review: Dieter Helm's study calls for radical changes to Britain's energy policy
The costs of energy for UK businesses are higher than necessary and policymakers must streamline clean energy regulations in order to deliver cheaper, decarbonised power, a major Government-backed study has concluded.
The Cost of Energy review, led by economist and academic Professor Dieter Helm, examined how the costs of electricity can be kept as low as possible as the UK looks to achieve security of supply while meeting carbon reduction targets.
Sixty-seven recommendations have been made within the review, which first launched in August as a way of investigating the country's entire electricity supply chain of generation, transmission, distribution and supply, in light of the Government's ambition to have the lowest energy costs in Europe.
The final review, released today (25 October), claims that businesses have not been able to capitalise on the rapidly falling costs of renewables, or benefit from the cheaper supply costs associated with 'smart' energy technologies.
"Tinkering with policies and regulations is unlikely to reduce costs," states the review. "Indeed, each successive intervention layers on new costs and unintended consequences.
"It should be a central aim of Government to radically simplify the interventions, and to get government back out of many of its current detailed roles."
Cost incentives
Specifically, the review notes that 'legacy costs' from key green policy frameworks such as Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs), feed-in tariffs (FiTs) and Contracts for Difference auctions (CfDs) are a major contributor to rising energy costs. These mechanisms should be separated out, ring-fenced, and placed in a 'legacy bank', the review states, and - crucially- businesses should be exempt from all associated costs.
FiTs and CfDs should then be gradually phased out and merged into a unified 'Equivalent Firm Power' (EFP) capacity auction, according to the review. "The costs of intermittency will then rest with those who cause them, and there will be a major incentive for the intermittent generators to contract with and invest in the demand side, storage and back-up plants," it states.
Meanwhile, Helm has echoed calls for a universal carbon price to be harmonised across the country. This, Helm's review claims, is the most efficient way for the UK to meet the target set under the Climate Change Act for net carbon emissions to be at least 80% lower in 2050 than they were in 1990. And such a move would be far cheaper than maintaining multiple market interventions, according to the review.
Despite being commissioned by the Government, policymakers appear hesitant to commit to any of the action points made within the independent review, and the country's green policy approach for the coming decades is already beginning to take shape. The Government has, for example, already confirmed that £557m will be made available for less-established technologies within future CfD auctions, making a phase-out of that scheme seem unlikely in the near future.
In a statement released shortly after the review was published, Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark said: "We are already taking significant steps to upgrade our energy infrastructure as part of the Industrial Strategy and have published draft legislation to cap poor value energy tariffs helping millions of consumers across Britain.
"I am grateful to Professor Helm for his forensic examination. We will now carefully consider his findings."
Today's energy cost review has received a mixed reaction from energy industry experts. The Renewable Energy Association (REA) has said the document contains "broad thinking that the industry can get behind", but that it "doesn't fully recognise the fundamental shift that is happening to a smarter, more connected and decentralised energy system".
RenewableUK, Scottish Renewables and the Green Alliance are among the other organisations that have also immediately welcomed the review, but the latter has also warned that, with 67 separate recommendations, there is a risk Helm's review is so broad that "the Government will cherry pick the bits it prefers".
The Government has said it will shortly be seeking the views of industry, businesses, academics and consumer groups on Professor Helm's review.

Ha C. Tam
"Strangers in a Strange Land"
Let me tell you about my younger life. In 1945 I joined in with groups to fight against the French because I was patriotic and I wanted to do something for my country. So I joined with them to fight against the French colonists, and that was the most beautiful period of my life. I was very happy then. I didn't get to know the true nature of the communists until much later in the Viet Minh. Then I left them.
In 1975 I was a fine arts professor at the University in Saigon. And every year I displayed my paintings at the Vietnamese-French Association and at the Vietnamese-American Association.
With the arrival of the American military I had the impression that life in Vietnam would change drastically in terms of social and psychological changes, and everything would be altered dramatically. And then during the time they were there, you would see within your own neighborhood how things would change. Families came apart and good people turned out to be not so good any more. Good in terms of respectable. And then our main night street of Tu Do turned into a street lined with bars with a questionable nature.
When the American army left Vietnam I was afraid of the oncoming force of the communists, because the Vietnamese government was so corrupted and badly managed and the Army was not well equipped, and then you see the people who belonged to the Vietnamese military system were people who had been soldiers and officers in the French Army and the same people now turned out to be leaders in the Vietnamese military system, and that didn't carry with it any credibility or real leadership to the country.
So I had the feeling that Vietnam would not be able to last when the Americans were gone and it would not remain good if the Americans stayed. I had thoughts that all would be lost in 1975.
During the war I had the opportunity to go to France and Australia and display my paintings, but when I left the country in those times for my exhibitions, I left with the status of a person still having a country to return to. I never wanted t o leave my country and never talked about it and never thought about it. Who would ever want to do so? During the war years, in a crucial time, when the war was really intense and a lot of bad things happened, still nobody wanted to leave the country. I didn't want to either. But finally I had to leave the country after the communists came in.
I never dreamed that Saigon would be lost to the Communists. I always heard of these comments on how we would have a three party government and there would be a conciliatory solution to the war between the sides, and so I thought that if we once lost Ban Me Thuot it would stop there and from Ban Me Thuot to the South it would remain South and there would be a two party government.
And also I had friends at the French Embassy who told me almost to the very end that they thought that there would be a means to resolve the differences between the two sides in the war and there would be a coalition type of government for the south. Even with the fall of Danang and then Cam Ranh, I never thought that Saigon would fall. I still thought there would be a solution to the problem. And as to whether or not I was afraid for my own safety, with the advance of the communists, as an artist I always hate politics or anything that has to do with politics. And I never joined any organization or association or any group or thing like that. My life revolved around teaching people how to paint and also doing exhibitions of my work. And that was basically how I led my life.
With the arrival of refugees from the Central and Highland regions in Saigon, of course, I was touched and shaken. But I didn't experience fear yet at that time. I just didn't feel fear then. I never thought, still, that Saigon would be lost to the communists, because of all those rumors flying about having to do with a coalition government and information that there would be solutions and ways and means to stop the advance of the communist forces.
I worried since there was a war. But when Thieu resigned I felt better because he and his cronies, the big guys in his regime, were bad people and so with him resigning his post I had hope that the next administration would be a better one, and especially with Mr. Huong, would be a better one. He came from a scholarly background so I thought it would be better and I felt it was a good step.
I continued teaching until the very end. Some of my students had left and some of my colleagues left, so the situation was not normal.
I didn't trust General Duong Van Minh as a leader. He had been in the French Army before, and anybody who was in the French Army or who had anything to do with the Army and who tried to become a leader of the country, I just didn't trust that person.
I saw the evacuation of the Americans and some of the Vietnamese. But at that time everything was so chaotic. It was like you were in a flea market. Everybody was just running around and trying to find a means of getting out of the country, be it from the roof of a bank or a high-rise building or the American Embassy or at the airport. Everybody was just disorganized, and they were running all around the city. At that time I had the opportunity to leave the country because my brother wanted me to go, but I never thought we would lose Saigon so I saw no reason to leave the country. You see I lived a very calm normal life. And with the frenzied activities going on around me, at that time, it amused me. It was a change of pace for me. And I felt neither contempt nor anger toward those who decided to leave the country, I had no negative feelings.
I saw the Communists come in to Saigon. I lived on Phan Thanh Gian Street, and so I could see them come in. They came from the Phu Lam Thi Nghe area into the city, and I could see them coming in to the Presidential palace, and I was one of the people who came out of their houses to watch the entrance of the North Vietnamese. And I could see everything. The feeling that I registered at that time was one of great strangeness and newness. But not any fear. I wasn't afraid of anything at all. I talked with some of the North Vietnamese soldiers and my impression at that time was that they were foreigners to Vietnam, they didn't know anything about anything at all in the city. It is like if you go abroad and get in contact with foreigners, I didn't think they knew anything about the South or about Saigon, they were just like strangers in a strange land. And also, I thought they were strange, because of their females. It was strange to see females wearing hard hats and carrying guns and wearing the kinds of clothes and footwear that the North Vietnamese Army wore. All in all they did not project anything pleasing or artistic or heroic. It was not a good looking sight.
The communists, when they got into Saigon, they thought that Saigon was a really beautiful place. A strange place but a beautiful one.
After the 30th of April, I didn't feel anything in particular, but I did see some of my old friends in the time that we fought the French and they had gone on to the North and stayed with the Viet Minh. But they didn't say anything to me and they didn't dare to say anything. But they had a sort of sadness about them as they went around Saigon. It was like they had flipped over a chapter in history and things became very different.
Eventually I talked with them and we were of course happy to be able to renew our friendships. We still had our friendship, and we talked about that, but when I asked them about the status of the country, and what would happen now to the country, they didn't say anything.
I had a long-time friend who had gone North. His name is Phuong, and his rank was colonel in the NVA, and he was involved in the battle at Phuoc Long. And the first day he came to visit me and he had in his hand a bag, and I asked him how things were going and he answered me by saying, "For over thirty years I have been fighting, and now this is all I have, what is in this bag."

Tampopo is a 1986 Japanese comedy about the delights of food. A milk truck driver wearing a cowboy hat comes across a single mother who is about to go out of business because her noodle shop sucks. The truck driver decides to help and because this movie was heavily inspired by Westerns, he assembles an unlikely group of experts to save her shop. Think of the Magnificent Seven except it is more like the Delicious Five.
The plot alone would make this movie a classic but what elevates this movie to greatness is that the many segues the director takes from the main story. Like a sketch comedy show, the camera will drift away to follow a passing character who stars in their own vignette. We see a business lunch at a French restaurant where none of the senior bosses know what to order but then the junior (and much abused) member shows them up with his mastery of the menu. At several points we see a gangster and his moll having the most sensual food sex scenes ever filmed. My favorite story might be the harried mother who rises from near-death to cook one last meal while in a walking coma for her begging family. These self-contained stories have nothing to do with the main plot except for showing another way that people interact with food.
This movie is a delight. It is amazing that it was made in 1986 because it feels like a prophecy of food culture, and food television, of the 2000's. It explains the difference between a bad noodle place and a good one. There is a renovation scene where an expert describes the proper height for a noodle bar that could come from any current restaurant rescue show. Every other scene is filled with tips on improving your ramen soup that feels completely natural for the movie.
There is a new 2016 restoration of the movie now available. I highly recommend it as it looks gorgeous. My biggest piece of advice is to make sure you have plenty of food on hand because you will get hungry.

I still remember watching this film in college. It had so many fun scenes and bits of dialogue.

Brock Lesnar lost the Universal Championship to Roman Reigns back at SummerSlam and was then denied his rematch at Hell in a Cell when Paul Heyman asked for it the following night on Raw.
The recent news surrounding Brock was that he was training ahead of a match against Daniel Cormier in UFC and that he wasn't expected to make a return to WWE for a while.
[adace-ad id="7797″]
Interestingly, Lesnar did make his return at Hell in a Cell before it was then revealed that he would be given his rematch for the title at WWE Crown Jewel which is live from Saudi Arabia on November 2nd.
Many thought that it was a last-minute decision to bring Lesnar back to the company to stop Strowman or Reigns taking a loss inside the cell, but this was WWE's plan from the beginning.
[adace-ad id="3395″]
[adace-ad id="7795″]
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar hashed out a deal for him to return to be part of both Crown Jewel and WrestleMania before he left the company at SummerSlam.
The smaller details of the agreement will have been worked out over the past few weeks but Lesnar was always going to be heading out to Saudi Arabia to pick up a huge payday much like when he was part of The Greatest Royal Rumble earlier this year.
[adace-ad id="7792″]
Lesnar had been hoping to make his return to UFC in early 2019 and had already set up a match with Daniel Cormier, the duo were just waiting on a date, but since he has now returned to WWE, it leaves his UFC future up in the air, unless Dana White is open to allowing him to work for both companies concurrently.
