County unveils crack unit to enforce anti Covid-19 health protocols BY ANNE MWALE (KNA)
N
akuru County Covid19 Response Committee has re-constituted an enforcement team to crack the whip on individuals and businesses flouting health protocols in the wake of a sharp spike in the number of reported cases. Deputy Governor, Dr Eric Korir said, focus would be
shifted to Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) flouting the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health on the number of passengers they ferry, and politicians caught convening unregulated public meetings. Speaking in Naivasha during the Committee’s meeting chaired by County Commissioner Erastus Mbui Mwenda
Nakuru County Commissioner Erastus Mbui Mwenda
and attended by County Police Commander Tito Kilonzi, the Deputy Governor accused a section of traffic officers of not being keen to enforce the number of passengers, something that the crews have been exploiting. Last week, President Uhuru Kenyatta directed the Ministry of Interior to constitute a special enforce-
ment unit made up of the National Police Service, regional administration officers and county enforcement officers to jointly crack down persons flouting guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health towards combating the spread of the virus. “We are putting on notice operators who ensure that every seat in their vehicles
is occupied by passengers, which is against the Ministry of Health guidelines. They do it during rush hours because they know that is when many passengers are rushing to get to work in time or to arrive home early enough,” observed the Deputy Governor.
State agency destroys fake goods as it ramps up war against counterfeits Anti-Counterfeit Authority head says some of the goods netted included those meant for the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, promises to heighten surveillance at border points and the ports BY JOSEPH KAMOLO (KNA)
T
he Anti-Counterfeit Authority has taken the war against the illicit trade in counterfeit commodities a notch higher by destroying goods worth Sh100 million in Changamwe Mombasa in a multi-agency operaration comprising national government entities and intellectual property owners. The exercise was led by the Chairperson of the AntiCounterfeit Authority, Florah Mutahi. She said some of the counterfeits destroyed were items meant for the fight against COVID-19 pandemic valued at Sh25 Million confiscated from unscrupulous traders. Ms Mutahi observed that a study carried out recently revealed electrical goods account for the bigger percentage of counterfeits into the country including cables,

clothes, shoes stationary, false construction materials chemicals among others. Ms Mutahi added that 70 percent of the counterfeits come from outside the country and declared that enforcement and strengthening at border points, strengthening prosecutions as well engaging in public awareness on the dangers of counterfeiting will be enhanced. The Chairperson observed that the destruction exercise was designed to showcase the country’s commitment towards zero tolerance to counterfeits and illegal goods all together. The intellectual property owners drawn from different countries including South Africa and from within the country witnessed the destruction to discourage the trade of the goods, a move that would ensure nothing goes back to the market for the unsuspecting public since they pose safety threatsas they have not been certified by any standardization body. “We are here to make sure that the goods which have been condemned as counterfeits are destroyed by an environmental safety destruction

noting that the unfortunate trend where counterfeits are sneaked into Kenya will lead to the collapse of local industries. Coast Regional Commissioner John Elungata said, the security agencies in the region are committed to eliminating importation of counterfeits through the borders and the ports. He said
the multi-agency effort led by Deputy Head of Public Service Mr.WanyamaMusiambo who was a presidential appointee is a serious government effort to fight counterfeits which come from the borders thus directing much effort to areas like the Coast of Kenya with Indian Ocean exit and entry point including airports.

Kericho to build new medical drug stores in all sub counties-official BY WANGARI NDIRANGU

According to the County’s Health Services Department Chief Officer Dr. David Ekuwam, the county has so far set up three medical stores, one at
the main referral hospital, and two others at Singowet and Londiani. “As a County, we have given critical attention to the health care system and putting up stores for bigger consignments of drugs is part of our effort to deliver drugs to facilities across the county”, he said. He said that in the next financial year, they will be adding a fourth one after realizing that the three are still inad-

‘Agriculture and Food Authority has built capacity among county extension officers’
Sound regulation of the agriculture sector is key to achieving food security and economic growth in a country. Governments world over provide a framework through which transparency and fair play are enforced among the various value chain players –producers, marketers and trade associations. KNA’s Wangari Ndirangu engaged the Ag.Director General of the Agriculture and Food Authority( AFA) Mr. Antony Mureithi (pictured) on a wide range of issues related to food security and production of nutritionally improved crops. Below are excerpts from the interview. What does Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) stand for, when was it created? The Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) was established under the Crops Act 2013. It was a product of the amalgamation of eight former Boards, which now operate as Directorates of the Authority. These are: Food Crops Directorate, Horticultural Crops Directorate,Tea Directorate, Coffee Directorate, Sugar Directorate,Nuts and Oil Crops Directorate, Fiber Crops Directorate, Miraa, Pyrethrum and other Industrial Crops Directorate.Our mission is to sustainably develop and promote scheduled crops value chains through effective regulation for economic growth. The mandate of the Authority is to administer the Crops Act 2013, and the AFA Act 2016, promote best practices and regulate the production, processing and marketing of agricultural products and advise the national and the county governments on agricultural levies for planning and equity. A key pillar to achieving food security is sound regulation of the agriculture sector. To what extent has the Authority undertaken this function? We have, through our regulatory mandate, reduced the regulatory bureaucracy, and over-regulation of the crops sub-sector leading to an improved investment climate, enhanced synergies between various actors and optimization of resource utilization and standardization and quality assurance of our agricultural products. Other measures include rationalization of the taxation regime in order to boost producer income, facilitating distribution of crop products and price stabilization. We have also enhanced collaboration and coordination between National and County Governments in agricultural development,increased competitiveness of our crops sub-sector through development and promotion of research,introduced regulation of food crops which were hitherto unregulated, increased food security in the country as a result of centralized planning and enhanced an enabling environment for private sector to invest in crop development, processing and marketing. How easy or difficult is it to implement the regulations?
oped strategies for reviving crops sub-sectors that have not been performing well such as cotton, pyrethrum, nuts and oil crops and even coffee How does AFA resonate with the Big4 Agenda, Agricultural Sector Transformation and Growth Strategy (ASTGS) and Vision 2030? Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) holds a vital key in the implementation of the “Big Four” Agenda and other national priorities in order to improve the quality of life of Kenyans and make Kenyan Agricultural products globally competitive. AFA’s Priority Projects/Programmes under the “Big Four” Agenda, Vision 2030 Projects, are aligned to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Sector Performance Standards (SPS). Under the pillar of Food Security and as an enabler in the Manufacturing Pillar through the following Projects, Programmes and Activities:
We have a collaborative approach on regulation with the County Governments and other arms of Government, making our regulatory initiatives attainable. An example are the Potato Regulations which, upon Gazettement, the counties have been on the forefront of enforcing the same. However, we encounter challenges like inadequate staff to ensure compliance and resistance by some players along the crops value chains. Implementation of Government sponsored regulations in the Agriculture sector has in the recent past faced a lot of opposition from cartels whose interest is to make profits at the expense of the small scale farmers. What is your experience so far? Every sector as a reflection of society has its own challenges. Regulations being enforceable by law assist in ensuring all value chain actors abide by the law on matters relating to agriculture. Some of the experiences we have come across include court cases against some regulations, failure to comply by some value chain players etc. We have however put systems in place to counteract some of these challenges e.g. revocation of licences for non-compliance, nonrenewal of licences and litigation as may be applicable. A healthy nation requires food security and food safety. Do you think you, as an authority have achieved the same? The Authority has undertaken several measures towards addressing food security and food safety. Through AFA’s membership of the relevant committees in the Kenya Bureau of Standards ( KEBS) that is responsible for developing of standards, we have been capacity building county staff and stakeholders on commodity standards to enhance food safety, enhanced management of notifiable pests on fruits, flowers and vegetables to enhance food safety and plant health. AFA has also developed draft guidelines on the transportation and warehousing of food crops,besides carrying out audits and surveillance for compliance, developed product standards and codes of practice for rice, maize, and potatoes,developed an aflatoxin management framework in collaboration with the University of Nairobi and developed regulations to create an enabling environment for both public and private sector participa-
tion the development and enforcement of standards for food safety. Key issues addressed by the regulations are; regulation impact, registration of growers by county governments,dealers, processors, importers and exporters by the Authority. Moreover in order to maintain the necessary statistical information with respect to the scheduled crops to enable proper planning, we facilitate development of a traceability system for food crops produce and products in the country. Since the creation of the authority, what would you say are your biggest achievements and challenges? I can describe the development of regulations and implementation of the same in collaboration with County Governments as a major milestone. Since agriculture is a devolved function, our main role is regulatory and capacity building. The Regulations for all crops have been developed, some have been gazetted while others are at various stages of approval. However our main challenge is mainly in the sectors whose regulations are yet to be gazetted, as we are unable to fully execute our mandate as envisaged by the AFA Act and the Crops Act,2013, in the absence of regulations. Key challenges to the agriculture sector are low productivity, inadequate funding, post-harvest losses and low
prices.How effective are the regulations in dealing with these challenges? Yes, Regulations and capacity building can cure some of these challenges. We are empowering County Government Extension Officers to enable them assist farmers to increase their production and productivity and minimize post-harvest losses.We too, are taking initiativesto promote production by supplying seedlings for various crops in agroecologically suitable counties.AFA and County Governments registers all the value chain players and we witness the farmer contracts with buyers. This is aimed at ensuring that marketers do not exploit farmers through low commodity prices. We have some value chains that are performing well while others are still struggling. What can you attribute this trend to? This was the actual position before the merger and one of the justifications for the merger was to provide an opportunity for the development of the crops that are not performing optimally. We have put a number of initiatives towards growing those sub-sectors that are low in production, to enhance both production and productivity. This includes farmer sensitization to increase uptake and production, supply of free seedlings and identification of market outlets for their produce, both locally and internationally.We have also devel-
• Development and Review of selected Scheduled Crops Standards and Codes of Practice and undertake stakeholder Sensitization • Carrying out traceability audits for export companies dealing in various produce to mitigate against pesticide residue non compliances • Developing Regulations on Food Safety (pesticides residues, heavy metals and other microbial contaminants) • Capacity building in Counties on the management of selected pests of economic importance • Enhance Production and Productivity by supporting seedling propagation and distribution for various crops among other activities. In achieving thorough implementation of the regulation in the various agriculture value chains, what is your vision and expectation? Our main vision is to have wellregulated sub-sectors,increased production and productivity, enhanced food security and food safety in the country,increased international market share for export produce,increased incomes to farmers and poverty reduction and economic growth. Where do you place the future of agriculture in Kenya’s future development focus? Agriculture is the backbone of the Kenyan economy and the demand for food produce is ever rising both locally and internationally. There is great opportunity in the agriculture sector, even as we double our efforts in increasing production and productivity across the country, to take advantage of the rising demand.

Success of Konza Technopolis closely linked to completion of Thwake Dam, says PS BY ROSELYNE KAVOO (KNA)
T
he realization of the Government’s development programmes heavily depends on the success of the various infrastructural and other key sub-sectors, according to ICT Principal Secretary, Jerome Ochieng. PS Ochieng sees the intertwining efforts of the various infrastructural subsectors as perfectly exhibited in the heavy reliance of theKonzaTechnopolis City on Makueni’sThwake Dam water provision for its eventual success. He described the availability of clean, efficient and reliable water from the Dam as a critical element and a big gamechanger to the development of the ongoing ICT technopolis. Speaking in Makueni during a tour of the project jointly funded by the Government of Kenya and the African Development Bank (AfDB), the PS said the completion of the dam will ensure that the Konza dream is realized fully.
“Reliable water from the dam will be a key element. As part of a multi-agency approach within the national government, we as the Konza City team, came to agree with the technical team over here on logistics and we are looking forward to get the muchneeded water from the dam. We are also putting our request to the County Government of Makueni on the need for collaboration and prudent supply of sufficient and clean water for Konza,”he said. Ochieng was accompanied by Makueni Governor Prof. KivuthaKibwana, the Chairman of the KonzaTechnopolis Board of Directors Dr. Reuben Mutiso, Managing Director Eng. John Tanui and KoTDA board members. The PS lauded the pro-
gress of the project, whose completion current stands at 43.4 percent against a time lapse of 54 percent. “The progress means there is synergy and collaboration from all stakeholders to ensure the project is completed within given timelines despite challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic,”he added. PS Ochieng also disclosed that plans were underway to have internship programs in the project for students in order to build local capacities and transfer of knowledge and technical exchange in the spirit of “Buy-Kenya-Build Kenya” initiative. “This is a key project because it will answer the critical water question both to the local community and beyond Makueni. We are an interested

party because of the concern and interest we have in this project. Furthermore, provision of power and irrigation components are other elements which will change lives of over 1.3 million residents of this area and even beyond, these are important to us as a country,” he said. Governor Kibwana echoed the PS sentiments promising
to facilitate smooth implementation of the dam being constructed at the confluence of rivers Thwake and Athi in Makueni and Kitui counties. “Thwake is one of the standing projects in this country, as a county government, we are pleased with the work done and I am encouraged that it is getting almost at the half point. A big project like this is
poised to change cultural orientation of a people. I applaud the progress,” he said. “The governor noted that the dam, besides providing clean and sufficient water for locals, the provision of water for KonzaTechnopolis City, will ensure investors open businesses creating jobs to thousands of youth in the county and beyond.

ational Assembly Trade, Industrialization and Cooperatives Committee members have pledged to push for more funds to be allocated to major industries in the country. The MPs led by the committee vice chairperson Oundo Wilberforce Ojiambo said, for the country to attain industrialization, there was need to support the manufacturing sector. The MPs who spoke while on a tour of the Rift Valley Textile Company – Rivatexin Eldoret town, noted that supporting industries was the sure way for Kenya to attain
industrialization. The vice chair who was accompanied by other members including Robert Githinji (Gichimu MP ), Andrew Wadime ( Mwatate ) and Jared Okello of Nyando observed that expansion and revival of once vibrant industries would also go a long way in creating the much-needed jobs for thousands of unemployed youths. In his remarks, Okello said
80,000
Number of farmers contracted by Rivatex to plant cotton for the Eldoret based textile factory
the revival of Rivatex that had collapsed for several years was enough testimony that with good investment and support, Kenya can grow its industries to boost its economy. Such factories also create employment for the local community whose economic empowerment would improve livelihoods, he said adding: “A lot of money has been put into various industries and manufacturing under the Big Four Agenda that has created job opportunities for Kenyans”. The committee members also said they will push for allocation of more funds to Rivatex to enable it to achieve its expansion and modernization plans.

raw materials. Okello said the country needs about a million acres of cotton for Rivatex to get sufficient raw materials locally, hence the need for support from all stakeholders. “It is time we worked on seeing the results for billions that have been pumped into this facility,” added the Nyando MP. Rivatex Managing Director Prof. Thomas Kipkurgat said already 80,000 farmers have started planting cotton. “We are putting more effort to have farmers plant more cotton. Soon we will give them BT Cotton which will double the yield beginning next season as we have a guaranteed market here at the factory,” said the MD. According to Prof. Kipkurgat, the Moi Universityowned textile industry has 16,800 spindles that translate to 12 tons of yarns per day and able to channel over 70,000 meters of finished products daily.
National Assembly Trade Committee members led by its vice-chair, Wilberforce Ojiambo toured Rivatex where they pledged to push for more funding for the textile company for expansion and modernization
They further urged the county governments through the Agriculture docket to support farmers in planting cotton to enable Rivatex get locally produced raw materials easily.

T
(CDICC) meeting held in the county commissioner’s office, the Central Rift Valley Water Works Development Agency Technical Manager Engineer, Samuel Oruma said the project period was 80 weeks. He reported that the main trunk sewer and secondary sewers were 96 percent complete while the sewage treatment works were 96 percent complete. At the same time, Oruma reported that the resident Engineer’s office that will host the
he construction of a Sh. 1.7 billion sewerage system set to benefit over 60, 000 people in Narok town and its environs is almost complete. The project, funded by the Government of Kenya in collaboration with African Development Bank commenced in April 2019 and it is expected to be commissioned in January 2021. Speaking during a County Development Implementation Coordination Committee
Narok County Commissioner, Evans Achoki, leads a team from the county development implementation coordination committee in accessing ongoing work at the sewerage construction site.
sewerage staff is 100 percent complete. He revelead that in Decem-
ber, the whole system will be tested before the contractor hands over the project to the
government for commissioning. The engineer said there have been constant engagements with the local community and key project stakeholders among them the county Governor Samuel Tunai and County Commissioner Evans Achoki in a bid to make the project a success. The engineer lauded Sinohydro Corporation Limited that has been constructing the sewerage saying they were keen to stick to the agreed
timelines. The county government isbe expected to carry out regular maintenance of the system once it is complete for it serve the residents for a longer period. The official reported that most of the labour was done by the locals hence helping in creating jobs to the many jobless youths in the county. Narok traders and dwellers have for a long time had to use exhausters to empty their sewerages incurring huge losses.

Women tipped on rebuilding business following Covid-19 crisis BY CHRIS MAHANDARA
W
omen organizations in Kisumu have come together to sensitize them on how to rebuild their businesses due to the negative economic impact of the Covid19 pandemic. Under the umbrella of Urban Grassroots Women Caucus, the organizations have rolled out training and sensitization for small scale business women who closed shop after the pandemic broke out in March. Also targeted are women who were removed from mar-
kets and those whose stalls were demolished to pave way for expansion of Kisumu port. The caucus coordinator Caroline Ogot said, the program targets to train the women on existing opportunities and avenues of accessing credit to get them back on their feet. “We are meeting women to listen to them and address emerging issues. We also want to sensitize them on where to get credit and grants to restart their businesses,” she said. Alice Odera, a member of the caucus, said women in Ki-

Counties advised to accept NEPAD’s peer review to promote transparency BY YOBESH ONWONG’A (KNA)
T
he African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) is challenging counties to embrace good governance in order to promote prudent resource utilisation, enhance economic growth and eradicate poverty. APRM Council member Elias Mbau says, County governments must ensure, among others, inclusivity, public par-
ticipation, and gender equality is achieved in their respective jurisdictions for the benefit of wananchi. Mbau spoke during a meeting with stakeholders among them youth, women, and government representatives drawn from different parts of Kitui County y at the Kenya Forest Research Institute (KEFRI) in Kitui. He called on counties to agree to be subjected to the
same mechanism through a tool devised by APRM to help Governors manage resources allocated by the national government prudently. “The County Integrated Plan is implemented after a thorough public scrutiny and when the peer review is done in December, counties will have an opportunity to tell their stories objectively,” Mbau said. He noted that the synergy between the two arms of gov-

ernment will definitely help in deepening general government responsiveness to public demands on the national and county levels as well as entrench the culture of open-
ness in Kenya. Ms Nimo Maimuna, APRM Board Member, said that the goal is to cascade APRM governance principles to the counties across the country and allow Governors to peer-review each other during a National Peer Review Conference after having gone through an objective, participatory process. “The overarching objective is to improve service delivery performance linked to the local development plans that are cocreated and implemented with the public throughout the annual country planning and budget cycles,” said Maimuna. She noted that the peer re-

Kenya is the first country in Africa to apply the methods used in the African Peer Review Mechanism to strengthen its devolved governance system. Peter Kimemia, Director APRM/Governance, said Kenya will continue subjecting itself to peer reviews and is ready for the third APRM.

evenue collected from public health facilities in Nakuru County in the past four years has steadily risen from Sh 405 million to the current Sh1.17 billion. Public Health Chief Officer Mr Samuel King’ori said, the County administration has fully adopted automated revenue collection technology in over 95 percent of public health facilities to enhance service delivery and accountability. Speaking when he led an 11-member Health Committee from Kajiado County on a tour of Nakuru Level 5 Teaching and Referral Hospi-
tal, MrKing’ori observed that the automation has enabled the management to track the number of patients receiving medical services, the ailments afflicting them and diagnosis and treatment made by health practitioners. He explained that collection in the department gradually improved from Sh405 million in 2017, Sh597 million in 2018, Sh957 million in 2019 and Sh1.17 billion in 2020. The officials from Kajiado led by its County Assembly’s Health Committee chairman Moses Kujero are in Nakuru on a benchmarking tour on the region’s health sector. The revenue was generated
from the Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital (PGH), PGH Annex Wing, Bahati Hospital, Naivasha, Gilgil, Molo, Olenguruone, Elburgon, Subukia, Njoro, Langalanga, Kabazi, Keringet, and MirugiKariuki. Other hospitals are Bondeni maternity located within Nakuru Town East and Mogotio hospital in Rongai. “Through the automated system, patients deposit payment for bills for medical services through bank agents and M-Pesa and are issued with receipts. We have also put in place an efficient audit and accounting system that will track how the distributed drugs and supplies procured

Other facilities targeted for infrastructure uplift and equipment are Gilgil Mental Hospital and Elburgon Sub County hospitals with each being allocated Sh40 million. At the Nakuru Teaching and Referral Hospital, upgrade works include setting up a modern radiotherapy unit and an outpatient complex. Due to the high number of accident casualties on the Nakuru-Naivasha Highway, the County was setting up a fully operational theatre facility at Naivasha Sub-County Hospital, added Dr. Gichuki. MrKujero said his committee would push for automated revenue collection in all major health facilities in Kajiado County adding that there were numerous cases of county officers, who receive cash from the public but fail to submit it.

Narok County loses Sh860m annually to sanitation related diseases, says medic BY MABEL KEYA -SHIKUKU
N
arok County loses Sh. 864 million each year to sanitation-related diseases which could have easily been avoided if proper hygiene was observed in the county. Speaking during the celebration of this year’s World Toilet Day at a Narok Hotel, Narok County Director of Health Dr. Francis Kiio said, the amount involves the cost of treating the infections, such as diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid and the man hours lost which could have been used for productive activities. Dr. Kiio advised the residents to observe hygiene in order to avoid sanitation related diseases. He expressed dismay that the county ranked number 44 in the country in sanitation related issues with nearly half of the population
practicing open defecation which in turn pollutes water sources. To this end, Dr Kiio said the county’s department of public health has embarked on a major sanitation campaign dubbed Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) in order to improve sanitation and reduce poor hygiene related diseases in the county. He said the campaign is aimed at creating awareness on use of toilets and other sanitary facilities in the area in order to reduce pollution of water sources and eradicate diseases such as Trachoma, diarrhea and polio. The Medic observed that toilet use in the county was at only 42 per cent which was concentrated around Narok town. “This means about 60 per

cent or more than half of the population in the county still use bushes or flying toilets which eventuality pollute the water sources,” he said. Dr. Kiio said the situation was worse in public primary schools where the over 233,000 pupils in all the public primary schools have less than a half of the sanitation facilities they require.
He lauded Sagamian ward as the only ward in the county that is open defecation free. The Medic noted sanitation related diseases such as Trachoma, cholera, diarrhea and polio were among the top ten diseases in the county and could only be eradicated if proper sanitation is observed. Narok County has been ranked second in the country after Turkana where residents have been affected by Trachoma. He said the disease is caused by a fly known as Musea Sorbens which mainly spreads the infection from faeces. Dr. Kiio however said the CLTS programme faced challenges from cultural where older men cannot share a toilet with their young daughters, ignorance and funding among others.

Construction of a major link road connecting four counties of the Mount Kenya region will be completed by the end of 2022. Infrastructure and Transport Cabinet Secretary Mr James Macharia said the construction of “Mau Mau” road which links Kiambu, Murang’a, Nyeri and Nyandarua counties has commenced and expressed confidence that the project will be completed within two years. Speaking while inspecting the road at Kiamara area of Murang’a, Macharia confirmed: “the contractor is on site and he kicked off earthworks in Kiambu, Murang’a and Nyeri. Currently the work is at 3 percent.” Macharia revealed that the commissioning of the Sh. 30 billion 500-kilometre key road was done early this year.
Macharia said the road will benefit not only the Mount Kenya region but other neighbouring regions including Rift Valley and Eastern region adding the section within Murang’a will cost Sh. 6.4 billion. “We have already made a down payment of Sh. 640 million and more payments will be done as the construction progress,” said the CS. The government is doing the Mau Mau road that borders eastern and western parts of the Aberdare Forest as a way of commemorating freedom fighters who used the forest as hideouts during war for independence. Macharia lauded the project saying apart from boosting the economic activities, it will also provide employment to thousands of local residents. The government, he added, is also doing a dual carriage
from Kenol to Sagana, a project he noted has already started. Meanwhile Macharia warned contractors who are delaying completion of given projects saying apart from being blacklisted, they risk being arrested. On rail transport, the CS said Nairobi-Nanyuki railway line has already been rehabilitated and only waits for commissioning by the President. “Current the railway line is being used for transportation of cargo but after commissioning the line we will be having scheduled trips for cargo and passenger transport. The government is committed to have a proper robust railway transport to spur economic growth,” said Macharia. Rehabilitation of other railway lines including Naivasha – Nakuru-Malava line, the CS said was on course.

At every given opportunity, these cultureproud youths never fail to entertain, with their artistic display of cultural loyalty being a part of Kenya’s rich tourist attractions.

Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko (Pictured) is calling on the Maa Community to embrace more education in this competitive world where education is the key to success, prosperity and a bright future. Tobiko said that in today’s world where competition has become very stiff, it is prudent for the Maa Community to join the rest of the world by educating their children irrespective of gender. “Days when bows and arrows mattered are long gone and now it is time to use brains, pens and books if we are to secure our space in the national development of our nation”, the CS emphasized.

Roads agency releases Sh3.5B for compensation of displaced landowners BY KIPTANUI CHERONO (KNA)
K
enya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has released to the National Lands Commission (NLC), Sh3.5 billion for compensation of 957 persons affected by the Eldoret town bypass project. Out of the amount, Sh2.2B has already been paid out to 628 people as the remainder of payment is being processed. The revelations were contained in a progress report presented during the County Development Implementation and Coordination committee during a stakeholders’ meeting at the County Commissioners office in Eldoret Monday. Out of the compensated 628 PAPs, 565 have been issued with a 30-day notice to vacate the land so that it can be granted to the China WU YI company who are constructing the Sh5 billion project. When complete, the bypass is expected to decongest traffic in Eldoret town as well as open up the county for business. The 32-kilometre road project starts at Cheplaskei centre along the Eldoret-Nakuru highway and traverses through Kapseret to Leseru, at the Eldoret-Kitale and Eldoret-Malaba roads junction. About 296 parcels of land covering a total of 250 ha and 449 structures will be affected by the project, the report indi-

During the stakeholders’ meeting, contractors implementing national governmentfunded development projects were urged to speed up construction of the projects and ensure they comply with the standards required. UasinGishu County Commissioner, Stephen Kihara told the meeting attended by representatives implementing Kipkaren Dam Water Supply project, Eldoret Town Bypass road project and Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KURA), as well as the Presidential Delivery Unit representative and the County Information Officer, that he was impressed by the work the contractors were doing so far and impressed on them the need to complete the projects on time. “We are not going to allow contactors to drag government
projects for far too long for any reason whatsoever. As a government we are committed to supporting the contractors to complete high standard projects in time,” said the CC. The committee led by the county administratorlater inspected the Eldoret Township roads done by KURA and expressed their satisfaction. The completion date for the contract is 30th December 2020 and so far they have done 11.4 km stretch out of 15 km of upgrading to bitumen standard within various estate roads. The County Commissioner called on the contractors to do their work well in support of the President’s Big four agenda. “As we do our work, let us remember that we are doing it as a contribution to the Big Four Agenda that the President is advocating for,” he said.

The ceremony was also addressed by Charles Sunkuli and Saitoti Torome, Principal Secretaries, State Departments for Devolution, and Planning respectivelyamong others.

Local girl who had a vision of what she wanted now a successful entrepreneur BY WANGARI NDIRANGU
A
s the Government seeks to propel women to the apex of socio-economic progress, and giving impetus to private sector participation in national economic growth, bold, entrepreneurial women are emerging in the private sector to chart direction to younger ladies. For the straight-talking Flora Mutahi, a delicious, flavoured, high quality tea that is refreshing, and detectable in Melvins tea brands, is her trademark and strength, for some 25 quiet but prosperous years. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Melvin Marsh International Limited, is among leading women entrepreneurs in the country who have come to believe in themselves and their ability to venture and succeed in the field of entrepreneurship. For Ms Mutahi, her success as an entrepreneur in the tea sector has not just been about the nature of tea as an African flavor, but discovering and producing tea in different aromas and flavours. Despite the adversities associated with gender stereotyping, where men are mistakably

believed to occupy the frontal seat of the national economic engine, the focused and laidback woman says, she can now sit back and take a sigh of relief for delivering hope and encouragement not only for entrepreneurs in the country but specifically for women. “Before I started out, I was a full-time employee as an auditor but only worked for
nine months. I was not enjoying it so I had to quit, though it was not easy since business then in the 90s was associated with people who could not be employed,” says Ms Mutahi, underlining her adventurous nature that has now paid off handsomely. “I did not just want to work, I wanted to do something rewarding and fulfilling and so,
after many fights with my parents who thought otherwise, I decided this is what I want and I went into business,” she told this writer in a recent interview. She started out with Melvin’s Free Flow Salt, but quickly changed to tea after she realized one could not make enough profit with the salt as it was taking too long for an order to be paid. “With tea now and with my habit of doing things differently, I started out with ginger tea which wasn’t in the market then,” she says. The first supermarket that agreed to buy from Flora was Chandarana supermarket who enlisted her and then Uchumi supermarkets which was national and huge came in but she also used to go to small groceries and just talk to the women running those shops and who became her customers. “I can say that is how Melvin’s started and came into being and slowly, we continued to grow even with the challenges in the sub sector such as getting teas from the auction through a trader,” she notes.
Revamping of popular Kibuye market, beautification of Kisumu city kicks off BY CHRIS MAHANDARA (KNA)
The Kisumu County Government has embarked on rehabilitation of the iconic Kibuye market to modernise facilities and absorb more traders who were displaced from Railways land to pave way for expansion of Kisumu port. Through support from the World Bank funded Kenya Urban Support Programme (KUSP), phase one of the project which was launched last week will cost Sh 315 million. Speaking during the ground breaking ceremony of the project, Kisumu Governor Prof Anyang Nyong’o said, once completed, the open air market which is the largest in East and Central Africa will have

four Ablution Blocks, boundary wall, roads, walkways and foul water drainage. Other facilities to be constructed, he said include, offloading and customer front parking, shades and warehouse for the
wholesale market, storm water drainage, elevated water storage tanks, flood lights, street lights and electricity connection. He urged the contractor who has 54 weeks to deliver the project to stick to the time-
line to ensure that the traders who were removed from the market in March are resettled. The traders welcomed the decision to reconstruct the market saying it will create an enabling environment for them to do business. They however appealed to the county government to ensure only traders who were displaced when the market was closed down in March are allocated space once the project is completed. The governor also launched the beautification of Jamuhuri Gardens and construction of Nyamasaria modern satellite bus park which have also been funded by KUSP at a cost of Sh 111.7 and Sh 99.8 million respectively.
BRIEFS County response committee’s alarm over spike in Covid cases The Nandi County Covid -19 Response and emergence team has resolved to focus on the preventive and promotive procedures to curb the surge in Covid -19 cases in the county. Addressing the press after a meeting with the members of the team Thursday, Governor Stephen Sang said the county is experiencing the second wave of Covid -19 and called upon the team to work round the clock to arrest the situation. “The security apparatus and the response committee should work together to be able to sensitize the locals on the Ministry of Health protocols since we have noted increased laxity,” said Sang. The County boss added that going forward, the team will ensure there is heightened supervision; more civic education and increased capacities to handle home based care cases. He however noted a big challenge that has led to the spike in Covid 19 cases in the county -funerals and social gatherings. He called upon the residents to observe the laid down guidelines on the management of funerals and social gatherings to avert transmis-
sion of the virus. On his part, County Commissioner Geoffrey Omoding who doubles as the Committee Co-Chair echoed the governor’s sentiments on the rising numbers and said his office has increased surveillance and crackdowns on persons flouting the MOH guidelines. “In the past week alone, we have nabbed over 300 persons who were breaking the guidelines set by the Ministry of Health of not wearing masks, overloading in PSVs among others,” said Omoding. The Commissioner pointed that since the remand cells are overloaded, those culprits apprehended will serve their sentences through community service. The Chair Lake Region Economic Bloc Prof. Khama Rogo who is tasked with advising the 14 governors under Lake Region Economic Bloc (LREB) on how to deal with the scourge said that the upsurge was high in the months of September and October. “The virus is already in the communities and no longer in the cities, therefore the interventions should be community based,” he stated.

Business community alarmed by increased cases of insecurity Uasin Gishu county security committee has been urged to enhance security patrols following an upsurge of criminal activities in various estates in Eldoret town. A section of the Eldoret Business community members have claimed that their businesses have been affected by an increasing rate of crime executed by armed gangs colluding with boda boda riders. The goons terrorise and rob residents as early as 8.00 pm, according to one of the business operators Maurice Gitau. “We wonder why the Police have not acted despite the incidences being reported within the last two months,” he complained citing Kimumu, Ngomongo and Jerusalem estates in Kimumu ward as the most affected. Speaking to the press in Eldoret town Thursday, Gitau urged the County Police Com-
mander to move with speed and restore sanity by securing the affected estates. He claimed that tenants have been moving from the affected estate en masse within the last three weeks to seek shelter in estates considered more secure. Gitau said the absence of night patrols by police has contributed to the increased cases of burglary and robbery in the affected areas. Contacted for comment, Uasin Gishu County Commissioner Stephen Kihara assured area residents that security patrols have been increased to ensure residents are not harassed. He warned that the government would deal decisively with a few individuals who wanted to reap where they never sowed by robbing wananchi. By Kiptanui Cherono
