Take the money, but spare us the hypocrisy

August 4 looms large and the Proposed Constitution emphatically states that nobody shall be exempted from paying tax. The new laws go a step further to establish a Salary and Remuneration Commission mandated to fix perks for State Officers, including MPs.

As a result, waheshimiwa want to rush through hefty perks before the new laws come into force to tie the hands of the envisaged Commission since it would be unconstitutional to lower their income.

Luck is on the MPs's side as a Tribunal headed by retired Justice Akilano Akiwumi recommends that MPs be paid a gross salary of Sh1,091,000.

Break the silence on cruelty in families

Once again, society has failed to shield another woman and child from a cruel ending. Forget the serial killer-types. What rankles is the indifference in modern society to wife battery, child labour and sexual abuse, female genital mutilation and familial neglect.

A particularly gruesome tale came from Nyahururu two days ago when a teacher, no less, descended upon his immediate family and butchered them, including two toddlers.

The shock is that neighbours were willing to regale to the media a pattern of abuse by the man spanning several years to which they all apparently found befitting to ignore as "domestic

Capital Markets Authority moves in to protect investors

By James Anyanzwa

The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has amended the relevant legal framework to allow for the sharing of information with other regulatory bodies and the demutualisation of the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE).

The latest development will see the authority exchange information on financial systems, management and investigations of cross-sector regulated entities with the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA), and the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA).

The regulators are also expected to strengthen collaboration by undertaking various joint activities in respect of the licensing and supervision of regulated entities, and work together in strengthening consumer protection

Matuga aspirants in ‘silent’ duel for votes

By Patrick Beja

Candidates in the Matuga by-election have launched full-fledged campaigns, as they ventured into homes to woo voters.

The four aspirants hunted for votes in homes, which was seen as a cheaper but effective campaign formula compared to big rallies.

The candidates are Chirau Ali Mwakwere of PNU, Hassan Mwanyoha of ODM, Kassim Sawa Tandaza of the UDM and Isaac Masila Mutula of Labour Party of Kenya.

Mr Tandaza, who campaigned at Golini and Kwale, said he preferred the door-to-door strategy.

Nyachae has last laugh as his party wins by-election

By Beauttah Omanga

What goes around comes around, they say, and this adage was evidently at work during last week's South Mugirango by-election.

Former Cabinet minister Simeon Nyachae had the last laugh when his party's candidate trounced PDP's Omingo Magara and ODM's Ibrahim Ochoi.

The outcome of the by-election was sweet revenge for Nyachae, who had a string of losses to ODM in his Kisii home turf.

Nyachae lost the 2005 referendum to the Orange team led by Prime Minister Raila Odinga and this was followed with a defeat at the 2007 General Election.

But last week's results gave the former power man reason to smile as Raila was left agonising.

With Magara as the pointman, ODM trounced all the Nyachae allied MPs save for Bomachoge's Joel Onyancha. Mr Onyancha later lost the seat in a by-election to ODM.

Even though Nyachae had announced his retirement from politics, his large political shadow still hovers over Kisii and to many it was a mater of time before he struck.

Losing direction

As the South Mugirango by-election campaigns intensified, there were rumours doing rounds that Nyachae was likely to visit the area and "greet" the constituents, but he never did.

Sources said Nyachae instead accepted a request to meet some elders from South Mugirango at his Nyosia home. It was there he declared that he wanted

Fresh bid to streamline public transport

By John Oyuke

A Public Private Partnership (PPP) has been formed with the aim of streamlining urban public transport.

Top on the agenda for the new team is to introduce high capacity bus systems.

The partnership aims to promote use of high capacity buses as opposed to lower capacity matatus carrying passengers within the country's cities and towns.

Under the partnership, General Motors East Africa (GMEA) will supply the proposed bigger capacity Isuzu buses at concessionary rates, while the Co-operative Bank will finance the aqcuisitions and Invesco Assurance will provide a comprehensive insurance cover.

Bad habits back as MPs openly flout parties’ law

By Stephen Makabila

The just concluded South Mugirango by-election provided an excellent platform for politicians to flout the Political Parties Act, as the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) watched helplessly.

Ministers and MPs trooped to the constituency to campaign for candidates from rival parties in violation of the Act.

Coincidentally, US Vice-President Joe Biden in his public lecture at Kenyatta International Conference Centre last week challenged Kenyans to overcome political indiscipline.

"It's human nature for people to resist change out of my experience in the last 36 years in politics. Political indiscipline will not go away soon, but Kenyans must overcome this by embracing reforms," noted Biden.

The Political Parties Act, which came into effect on December 31, 2008, was meant to bring sanity and discipline among political parties.

Is Government committed to cooperate with Ocampo over post-poll violence?

Given the showdown at the ICC review conference in Kampala, Uganda, between Attorney-General Amos Wako and Prime Minister Raila Odinga's Special Adviser on coalition matters Miguna Miguna, there are fresh fears the Government may not be ready to co-operate with the ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo. Writers Moses Njagih and Peter Atsiaya spoke to Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni and his Matungu counterpart David Were on their views.

Yes: Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni

QUESTION: Do you think there is sustained commitment by the Government in cooperating with the ICC team investigating post-election violence in Kenya?

Ndaragwa MP Jeremiah Kioni

Matungu MP David Were

ANSWER: I don't have any reason to doubt the Government's commitment in cooperating with ICC. Our domesticating of the Rome statute is a strong indicator that we wanted to work with the ICC. That is why we have seen Ocampo visit the country and accorded support on whoever he wanted to meet or wherever he wanted to visit.

QUESTION: A member of the Waki Commission that investigated causes of the chaos and recommended ICC intervention has claimed Kenya would not be so forthcoming with its assistance because of alleged involvement of the security forces. Comment.

ANSWER: You can understand where the member is coming from when he expresses his fears. He is rightly suffering from hangovers of the past regime when such things involving security forces were never pursued. If you evaluate the happenings of the past five years you can tell the way of doing things by Government has really changed.

CBK blames Greek crisis for foreign exchange fluctuation

By Morris Aron

Central Bank of Kenya has clarified that the current foreign exchange fluctuations that has resulted in the shilling losing value against the dollar and strengthening against the Euro is due to international economic concerns in the Eurozone and not Kenya's creation.

At the same time, the banking regulator has urged firms to put their hedging instruments in place to cushion themselves from the effects of the on-going development.

In a press release to media houses, CBK said foreign exchange volatility is as a result of concerns over the Greece economy after revelations that the European country had

Legislators vow to shoot down tea amendment Bill

By Moses Njagih

Co-operatives Development Minister Joseph Nyagah and Mathira MP Ephraim Maina have vowed to shoot down the controversial Bill seeking to introduce radical changes in the tea industry.

The two legislators said they would mobilise the defeat of the Tea (Amendment) Bill 2010, a private members Bill by Konoin MP Julius Kones, saying it had serious implications that could kill the multi-billion industry.

Do you back Imanyara’s censure Motion against judges over their Kadhi ruling?

Debate has been raging following last week's ruling by the three judges over the inclusion of Kadhi courts in the Constitution. Senior Political Writer Stephen Makabila and Staff Reporter Mangoa Mosota spoke to Saboti MP Eugene Wamalwa and Nyando MP Fred Outa on whether they are for the planned censure Motion against the three filed by Imenti Central MP Gitobu Imanyara.

YES: Nyando MP Fred Outa

QUESTION: Do you support the planned Motion of censure on the three judges in Parliament?

ANSWER: Yes I do. I support the Motion 100 per cent because it is timely. The ruling by the judges was not fair at all. It remains suspicious and I am sure there are other MPs who also support the Motion.

Nyando MP Fred Outa

Saboti MP Eugene Wamalwa

QUESTION: Is the Motion not interference on the independence of the Judiciary as an organ of Government?

ANSWER: I do not think so. The two arms of Government are separate entities, hence interference is not possible. Parliament is only doing its work of checking on the performance of the Judiciary. It (Judiciary) should do its work in a manner acceptable to Kenyans.

QUESTION: Do you think Imanyara, who has already filed substantive Motion, will convince Parliament that there is reason to discuss the personal conduct of the three judges?

ANSWER: There are many MPs who will support the Motion. The requisite number will be easily raised. The aim is to discipline the judges and show Kenyans that the judgement was wrong. It should be a lesson to avoid

Risk hurts motorcycle industry

By Patrick Githinji

High risk stunts the growth of the motorcycle industry. Head of Asset Finance at NIC Bank, Moses Karanu, said financial institutions are reluctant to finance the acquisition of motorcycles because they are easily stolen.

There have also been concerns on the increasing cases of accidents involving motorcycles, a fact that scares financiers.

Karanu urged people wishing to acquire motorcycles on loan to form groups akin to associations in the matatu industry in order to attract financing. He said while NIC Bank will be financing the sector in the future, they will be doing so only to
