The best prevention against the coronavirus is still washing your hands and keeping safe social distance

BY WANGARI NDIRANGU, KNA

The government is work-ing round the clock to

ensure the second wave of the desert locust invasion is controlled before the long rain season, Agriculture CS, Peter Munya says.

The CS noted that rains

create a conducive envi-ronment for the swarms to thrive.

Speaking during a high-level emergency Desert Lo-cust consultative meeting in Nairobi, Munya added that the government had recently asked the Food Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to work

with partners to develop a Desert Locust Management Strategy.

“This strategy in which FAO will be working with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Emergency Lo-cust Response Project (ELRP) will address the menace in

the long term. This will be done soonest in consultation with County governments”, Munya said

The CS explained that the 2nd wave of the Desert Lo-cust invasion which began in November last year has so far affected 20 counties.

“We received reports of

the first swarms coming in through Mandera, Wajir, Garissa in November and by December all the way to January, this had spread to Marsabit, Isiolo, Samburu and for the first time the coastal counties of Lamu, Tana River, Kilifi and Taita Taveta. Other counties af-

fected now include Macha-kos, Kitui, Laikipia, Tharaka Nithi, Nyandarua, Nakuru and Elgeyo Marakwet,” Munya said.

Current reports indicate that so far, about 183 swarms have settled in the country

The Government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, will lease idle land to investors who

will produce raw material required in the manufacture of animal feeds to bring down their cost.

Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary (CS) Peter Munya said the Cabinet has already adopted the cabinet memo and now his office and that of the Attorney General (AG) are work-ing on the detailed policy on leasing in the next two weeks so that it can start being implemented.

Official data shows that 10 percent of Kenya’s land is owned by the gov-ernment in protected areas, rivers as well as institutions. Others are trust land (70 percent) and freehold land (20 percent).

The ministry will publish the terms that will allow farmers to plant on idle government land as it seeks to maximize use in a country where only 20 percent to the land mass is arable.

“We have been working on a pol-

icy that has been passed by cabinet

where we will encourage private to to enable investors with resources and who would like to invest in agri-culture production to come forward and lease the land that is idle,” said Munya.

Speaking during the launch of the Kenya Dairy Board (KDB) labo-ratory in Kabete, Munya said the ministry is aware that the cost of milk production in the country is high compared to other countries in the region which is attributed to the high cost of feeding and inefficien-cies at the farm level.

“My ministry together with other stakeholders are in discussion to avail quality feeds at competitive prices. We will also continue to pe-tition the National Treasury to look into the issue of tax regimes and other incentives which will help re-duce the cost of production to make the sector more viable,” said Munya.

The CS explained that the idea is to produce what the country needs to help bridge the gap between the raw materials required for animal feeds and what is required for food security.

“Part of the condition is to help us

bridge the gap on what we require for food security in the country and the raw materials required especially for animals feeds which include oil crops,” clarified Munya. The CS said that they want to ensure that the country is self-sufficient to avoid over reliance on other markets. “We will institute animal breeding programs though the Kenya Animal Genetic Resources Centre (KAGRIC) and other partners so that the farm-ers improve the quality of the ani-

mals for better yields,” said Munya

as he encouraged farmers to increase their uptake of Artificial Insemina-tion (AI) services. He added that his ministry with the guidance of the president intervened in the stabili-zation of farm gate prices and also directed that new KCC give a mini-mum payout price of Sh.33 to cush-ion farmers from low prices, with other milk processors following suit. Through this vibrancy in the sector, the average farm gate price has gone up from Shs.22 in 2019 to the current Shs.38 per liter and growing.

“The dairy sector regulations-which are to be gazetted anytime once operational will help mitigate the fluctuating farm gate prices as they will be setting up minimum prices which will be anchored in law,” said Munya.

The CS warned unscrupulous traders who are illegally importing dairy products through the porous border points of Lodwar, Kacheliba, and those trading in illegal imports in Mombasa and Eastleigh saying that the law is catching up with them, as some have been arraigned in court already.

CS says the Cabinet has given nod for private investors with sufficient resources to lease government land lying idle in various parts of the country to engage in farming

The second phase of the Beyond Zero scholar-ship program has re-

sumed after a 10-month hiatus brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic that forced the government to close down all learning institutions for nine months.

However, the re-opening of schools and colleges has ena-bled 124 beneficiaries of the program to join various se-lected campuses of the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) to pursue a specially tailored certificate course in Enrolled Community Health Nursing.

The special course designed to boost child and maternal health in marginalised and remote parts of the country will be offered in Loitokitok, Msambweni, Lodwar, Kapen-guria and Kitui KMTC cam-puses.

Irene Umazi Nyawa, a 26 year-old resident of Vipingo village in Kilifi County, is one of the 124 beneficiaries who reported to college in the third week of January this year to start her training as a nurse.

“I am grateful to Beyond Zero and its partners for fulfill-ing my dream by giving me the chance to pursue the profes-sion I have always loved. This scholarship will lift me out of poverty and also benefit my community,” says Irene.

Irene says the Beyond Zero scholarship was a godsend. Coming from a poor family, paying school fees had always

been a huge struggle during her high school days.

Despite her passion for be-coming a nurse, it was beyond her wildest dreams that one day she would actually be in a nursing class until the Beyond Zero scholarship came calling.

Like Irene, 21-year-old Ab-dimuhsin Bishar Ahmed from the dry and dusty village of Modogashe on the border of

Isiolo and Garissa counties is happy to be in KMTC courtesy of the Beyond Zero scholar-ship.

“I have always had the pas-sion for becoming a nurse to serve my community. Thanks to the Beyond Zero Scholar-ship, the dream that was shat-tered after my father’s death has been revived. My school fees is fully catered for,” says

Ahmed who joined Lodwar KMTC.

Swiss multinational health-care company, Roche, is fund-ing the second phase of the Beyond Zero scholarship pro-gram following the successful implementation of the first phase which was funded by the World Bank and benefitted 1200 students from vulnerable communities.

To date, 753 out of the 1200 beneficiaries of phase one of the Beyond Zero Scholarship program have graduated and are working in hard-to-reach health facilities within their counties providing a wide range of primary healthcare services including immuni-zation, ante-natal care and skilled deliveries among oth-ers.

Joel Lemaron, 24, is one of the 11 Beyond Zero Scholar-ship beneficiaries from Kajiado County who graduated from Loitokitok KMTC in December 2018 and is serving his Maasai community as a nurse at Old-onyo Alasho dispensary under the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) program.

The dispensary, which now

serves a population of 1,647 people in the remotest part of Kajiado near the border of Kenya and Tanzania, had closed for a year due to lack of healthcare workers until Joel was posted there.

“In this dispensary, I work as the overall healthcare pro-vider. I do consultation, ad-ministration of drugs, refer patients who require further medical care to other facili-ties, provide immunization to children under five years and also assist mothers to deliver,” says Joel.

Kajiado County Executive Committee Member for Health Esther Somoire says the Be-yond Zero Scholarship pro-gram has helped to strengthen health systems and contrib-uted towards the achievement of UHC in a big way.

“The advantage of this pro-gram is that the beneficiaries are locals who are able to work in the most remote places like Oldonyo Lasho, Engong Narok in Kajiado South and Ngororoi in Kajiado West,” says Ms So-moire.

In Taita Taveta County, Hel-len Manambo who works at Mgange Nyika Health Cen-tre as a nurse says the special training she received at KMTC courtesy of the Beyond Zero scholarship has enabled her to carry out difficult assignments at the health centre.

124 more nursing trainees benefit from Beyond Zero bursary after year’s break

Briefly tell us what NLC is all about, when, and under what legal provi-sions it was established.

The National Land Commission (NLC) is a Constitutional Commis-sion established under Article 67 (1) and Chapter 15 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. It was operational-ized by the National Land Commis-sion Act of 2012 and the inaugural set of Commissioners assumed office on 27th February, 2013. The current Commission consists of the Chair-man and eight Commissioners; seven Commissioners were sworn in office on 15th November 2019 whilst the other two were sworn in on 21st De-cember, 2020.

What is your mandate as a Com-mission?

Under Article 67 of the Constitu-tion of Kenya 2010, the Commission is mandated to manage and admin-ister public land on behalf of the National and County governments, initiate investigations into present or historical land injustices and recom-mend appropriate redress, monitor and have oversight responsibilities over land use planning throughout the country.

The Commission is also mandated to conduct research related to land and the use of natural resources, and make recommendations to ap-propriate authorities, encourage the application of traditional dispute resolution mechanisms in land con-flicts, assess tax on land and premi-ums on immovable property in any area designated by law, and recom-mend a National Land Policy to the National government

What major reforms has the Com-mission implemented since incep-tion?

The Commission has undertaken a number of reforms, and they include;1. Review of grants and disposition

of titles, where it has conducted investigations in various parts of the country to determine the le-gality of grants and dispositions. A total of 15,513 complaints were received; out of this, 5,773 were investigated/reviewed, with

4,088 determined & gazetted2. Historical Land Injustices (HLI)

- A total of 693 HLI claims were received; out of which 126 were admitted, investigated and de-terminations issued.

3. Public land information manage-ment- The Commission started working on automation of its technical business processes in 2014 drawing from the then legal provision. A pilot of this system was launched in 2016 following gazettement of NLIMS Standards & Guidelines. Following the Land Laws (Amendment) Act of 2016, this function was split between the Commission and the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. As a consequence, the Commis-sion has now been partnering with the Ministry in the develop-ment of the NLIMS.

4. Land dispute resolution and con-flict management- resolved vari-ous disputes through Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms.

Give us a glimpse of your opera-tional relationship with the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning

The National Land Commission and the Ministry of Land and Physical Planning are the two main institu-tions mandated by law to spearhead land reforms in the country. The op-erations of the two institutions are symbiotic and require a close work-ing relation for each to deliver on its respective mandate.

The Commission has therefore maintained a cordial working rela-tionship with Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning which involves collaboration, and engagement in consultative forums as well as part-nership in implementation of re-forms in the land sector for efficient and effective service delivery to the tax payers. The Ministry and NLC are jointly engaged in several key projects like Mwache dam in Kwale, Nairobi Expressway, KETRACO transmission lines among others on appropriate land values for valuation and compensation purposes.

Land is an emotive subject, and a major cause of various conflicts today. What mechanisms have you employed to ensure land matters are sorted out once and for all?

Land matters are complex in na-ture and require concerted efforts from all land stakeholders and gov-ernment institutions for realization of the desired reforms. The country has already enacted appropriate land

laws which are in place and are now guiding the land reform process.

The commission has embarked on implementing related land reforms which has seen it address pertinent land issues since its inception in Feb-ruary 2013. These include settlement of Historical Land Injustices (HLI), Review of Grants and Disposition of Public Land, employment of Alter-native/Traditional Dispute Resolu-tion Mechanisms (ADR/TDR) on land disputes.

Further, the Commission has de-veloped its Strategic Plan 2020-2025 (SP) which will guide it as it ad-dresses land issues in the country.

Land ownership in this country is obviously very imbalanced. In your view, what direction should the country take to ensure equitable distribution of land?

Whereas it would appear equita-ble distribution would be an answer, however various factors need to be borne in mind as we seek a lasting solution to this. These include yield capacity of the land, soil types, rain-fall/access to water, population den-sity in the region, and the capacity of the prospective users to make best use of the land. By combining these factors, an optimal land allocation scheme can be designed taking into consideration planning/ zoning re-quirements.

However, land remains a limited resource and it will never be enough to satisfy each and every citizen/in-terested party in terms of ownership.

Land grabbing has gained momen-tum in this country in the past few years. What is the commission doing to minimize this problem?

We have embarked on a pro-gramme for recovery of public land that was illegally acquired. Pub-lic schools and other state agencies that bore the brunt of this illegality mainly due to the manner in which the land sourced are currently being titled and secured. As we speak, a joint task-force drawn from The Ministry of Lands and Physical Plan-ning, the Ministry Education and the Commission has been working to secure these school lands. A target of 10,000 schools have been titled and the lands secured through fencing with all documentation done and de-posited with the CS National Treas-ury. Moreover, we have cancelled over 5,000 illegal titles relating to public land.

What specific matters have you dealt with so far in the last one year

The Commission as it marks one year in office has been steadfast in facilitating the Government devel-opment agenda, as outlined in Vision 2030 and more specifically the Big Four Agenda through;• Facilitating acquisition of land

for infrastructural development projects on behalf of government entities notably

i. SGR Phase II to Naivashaii. Expansion of Road network- Nai-

robi Expressway, Nairobi western bypass road project Likoni float-ing Bridge and numerous roads across counties(Eldoret bypass, Kisii-Ahero,Mutomo-Kitui)

iii. Dams for water security and ir-rigation (Lower Nzoia, Mwache, Karumeno, Thwake)

iv. LAPSSETv. Nairobi military land • Provision of land for affordable

housing projects both at National and County level (NHC Ngara Scheme)

• Involvement in resettlement Programmes for squatters in li-aison with Ministry OF Lands, County governments and other stakeholders (Chemilil, Kilifi and Kwale resettlements schemes and multiagency programme for a permanent solution to the Mau forest enchroachment)

• Involved in Public awareness and education forums on commu-nity land Act alongside Ministry and other internal and external stakeholders e.g FAO, EU

• Adopted a multi-stakeholder ap-proach to solving disputes in the land sector through normal jus-tice mechanisms and Promotion of alternative methods of resolv-ing conflicts

During the current tenure as a Commission, what have you pur-posed to do to impact positively the lives of ordinary Kenyans?

The Commission has developed and implemented strategies that will;• Secure public institutional land • Enhance access to alienated and

unalienated public land for de-velopment

• Regularize urban land allocations • Sustainably manage natural re-

sources • Develop a comprehensive public

land inventory and databases • Mainstream land use planning in

the national and county develop-ment agenda

• Promote good land governance

• Provide redress to land disputes• Provide redress for Historical

Land Injustices (HLI)

What is your annual budget and source of funding?

The Commission is funded by the exchequer with a gross expenditure (recurrent and development) esti-mates put at Sh 1.233 billion in the 2020/2021 financial year (F/Y). This constitutes approximately 36% of the Commission’s budgetary estimates.

The funding from the exchequer is inadequate, therefore the Com-mission has engaged relevant stake-holders and forged partnerships with development partners to plug the deficit.

What challenges do you face as a Commission and what are you doing to surmount them?

Challenges are majorly resource based and these afflict all entities in government. NLC is constrained in fully meeting its mandate by;a) Financial and budgetary con-

straints – The Commission has continued to engage Parliament and National Treasury for an in-crease in budgetary allocation. We have also stepped up our re-source mobilization strategies for extra funding from development partners

b) The lapse of the five (5) year time frame for review of grants and disposition of titles to public land in line with section 14 of the NLC Act – the Commission has peti-tioned parliament for an exten-sion to the lapsed time frame

c) Failure to vest land acquired for public purpose, rendering such land to be at risk of illegal oc-cupation, use and reclaiming or repossession – The Commission has teamed up with the acquir-ing bodies to undertake vesting of the acquired land with the ac-quiring bodies.

d) Shortage of staff and restrictions on recruiting staff. The Commis-sion has been gradually recruiting staff by leveraging opportunities arising from collaborations with development partners where there are provisos for getting consultants (technical staff)

e) Inadequate office space – there are discussions on increasing of-fice space leased to the Commis-sion. There is also a long-term vision of acquiring own space to address all the space needs of the Commission

BY MUTISO MBITHI (MYGOV)

The Kenya Film Classi-fication Board (KFCB) will partner with the

National Council of Elders to reclaim Kenya’s moral fabric and encourage the media to be purveyors of clean content.

Speaking at the Nairobi Film Centre while signing an MoU with the KFCB management, led by CEO Dr Ezekiel Mutua, the elders led by their patron Captain (Rtd) Kung’u Muigai said the breakdown of moral values in Kenya and erosion of the leadership code of eth-ics has seen leaders hauling insults at each, inciting a class

war in the country and fighting in public. Muigai termed it a matter of great concern which needs to be nipped in the bud before escalating into worry-ing levels

To help the country reclaim its moral standing, Captain Muigai urged the media to tone down on airing and propa-gating obscene content and vowed to ensure all elders in Kenya team up with the De-partment of Culture and the entire government structure to help restore the already eroded moral values in the country.

The elders who also included the Council Chairman Mr

Phares Ruteere and Major (Rtd) John Seii also decried the kind of immorality being peddled by the media and urged TV stations to avoid airing obscene content as it ended up corrupt-ing the morals of the youth.

The elders further expressed their willingness to act “as the last line of defence to fight against vices like extremism,

homosexuality, lesbianism, adultery, fornication, gender based violence, murder at the family level and airing of inde-cent content in social media, TV stations”.

The elders further told the media to stop feeding the youth with unpalatable con-tent in the name of freedom of the press.

Speaking during the cer-emony whose theme was “Moral decadence and need to uphold family values and culture”, the KFCB CEO Dr Ezekiel Mutua decried the re-cent incidents of domestic vi-olence, homicides and unruly and violent behaviour among the youth.

He recalled the macabre

killings of an entire family in Kiambu county early this year by a young member of the family who by his own admis-sion said he was influenced by a film titled “Killing Eve” and called on the elders to partner with the KFCB to restore mo-rality and good values in the country.

Mutua further attributed rising cases of school riots and burning of dormitories to gen-eral breakdown of moral val-ues and lack of social support structures in the upbringing of children at the society level after parents “ran away” from their parenting duties while society has failed the same young Kenyans.

He asked parents to monitor what media content their chil-dren were consuming and be alive to the fact that to nurture is a bigger and more honour-able than giving birth to chil-dren who are left to their own devices and neglect.

“ Media must not be con-duits for destroying moral val-ues,” said the CEO.

and of this, 157 have been controlled reflecting an 86 percent success rate in con-trol efforts, the CS added.

However, Munya noted that more swarms are ex-pected to invade and settle in the months of February and March based on projec-tions by FAO’s Desert Locust Information Office (DLIS).

He noted that although

a lot has been done so far, more still needs to be done considering that during the first invasion in 2019, gov-ernment had established six regional control bases. But with the second wave, two more have been established bringing the total to 8.

Munya confirmed that a developed Plan of Action on Desert Locust Management that was launched sometime

back in Naivasha requires at least Sh.3.2B and, so far, everything is on course far as implementation is con-cerned.

“In the plan, we are look-ing at three main com-ponents of desert locust management, namely round and aerial surveillance, ground and aerial control and lastly, livelihood protec-tion and recovery”, he said.

However, for sustainabil-ity and to tread on the side of caution due to non-predic-tive nature of desert locust invasion, CS Munya said that the government has made provisions in the coming days to boost stocks through the World Bank funded ELRP project to ensure that control will be sustained till the end.

He spoke of challenges such as insecurity, poor in-frastructure, accessibility to protected areas and inade-quate storage and transpor-tation facilities saying the meeting was convened to take a pragmatic approach

to address them.FAO representative to

Kenya, Amb. Carla Mucavi said as the second wave un-folds, FAO will continue to monitor closely its effects on livelihoods and will re-spond appropriately includ-ing through conducting an impact assessment.

She noted that the Desert locust control is a very

expensive affair to maintain noting that in the first wave, FAO Kenya alone appealed for USD 32 Million out of which they received about USD 20 million.

“FAO Kenya alone has for the second wave put an ap-peal for USD 8 million out of which we have already received USD 2 million” she said.

BY MYGOV WRITER

The Kenya Medical Sup-plies Authority (KEMSA) has launched a mass

distribution of re-usable face masks to needy school going children in both primary and secondary schools.

The first beneficiary was Mwiki Primary School in Ki-ambu County which is one of

the schools with the highest population in the country. It received 4,320 pieces of face masks to cater for the 3,991 children enrolled in the insti-tution.

KEMSA Ag. CEO, Edward Njoroge said in the month of February, a total number of 637,407 face masks will be dis-tributed in Nairobi and its en-

virons. This is due to the high prevalence of Covid-19 within the region.

Nairobi County will receive 34,641 masks for children below 6 years, 57,723 for 6-12 years and 48,648 for 13 years and above.

Murang’a County 39,869 for children below 6 years, 43,980 for children aged between 6-12

years and 84,003 for 13 years and above.

Kiambu County 90,600 for children below 6 years, 60,914 for 6-12 years and 96,469 for 13

years and above.Finally, Kajiado County will

receive 50,936 for children below 6 years, 6,670 for chil-dren aged between 6-12 years

and 22,954 for 13 years and above. Mr. Njoroge said his or-ganization is working closely with Kenya National Chamber of Commerce to ensure timely distribution of the rest of the face masks to the targeted schools. “We have received a distribution plan from MoH for the rest of the Counties and we will play our role of ensuring that the commodities are dis-tributed promptly to the last mile based on stock availabil-ity,” he re-assured.

Mr. Njoroge stated that the authority will be accountable in sharing information with the Ministry on the stock sta-tus as distribution progresses.

ISO 9001:2015 CERTIFIED

BY JOSHUA KIBET

Police officers in Eldama Ravine station currently living in dilapidated

houses will soon have a reason to smile once a modern three storey building is completed in the next three weeks.

The one block housing unit constructed by the govern-ment at cost of Sh 117 million comprises 48 bedsitters and twelve two bed room units which are self-contained and set to accommodate senior and junior officers.

Speaking during an in-spection tour of the project, members of the National De-

velopment Implementation Technical Committee (NDITC) made of five Principal Secre-taries gave the contractor up to the end of March to complete the project and hand it over.

The Principal Secretaries led by ICT PS Jerome Ochieng, asked the contractor, Meera Construction Ltd, to expedite the remaining construction works so that the project is commissioned in April.

The PSs who included Harry Kimutai (Livestock), Joseph Irungu (Water & Sanitation), Joe Okudo (Sports), Dr Mar-garet Mwakima (Regional & Northern Corridor Devel-opment) and Government

spokesman Col (Rtd) Cyrus Oguna, called on the con-tractor to improve the quality of workmanship which they noted was unsatisfactory.

Others who accompanied the PSs in the extensive in-spection tour of projects in Koibatek Sub County included County Commissioner Henry Wafula, Presidential Delivery

Unit (PDU) in charge of the County, Martin Rotich and Central Rift Valley Develop-ment Water Works CEO Eng Hosea Wendot.

“The quality of workman-ship in some areas of the building are of concern. Seri-ously the quality of work need to be improved. The supervi-sor should urgently improve

on the quality so that we don’t come back and find the same mistakes,” Jerome said.

Mr Jerome assured the con-tractor that they were going to fast track the payment of two pending certificates amount-ing to Sh 22 million and follow up with a 25 percent variation certificate raised to facilitate the construction of additional works like Cabro parking and paved road linking the Block and the camp.

Construction works on the project started in March 2018 and was expected to be com-pleted in August 2020. It cur-rently stands at 95 percent.

The ICT principal secretary said the mission of the inspec-tion tour was to find out why some projects at the grass roots level are stuck or were behind schedule in implementation with a view to unlocking them.

The team members reiter-ated that the government was committed to ensuring that all presidential legacy and prior-ity projects were accomplished and commissioned as soon as possible for wananchi to derive

benefits.The project once completed,

the PSs restated, will provide good housing to 60 police of-ficers and contribute to the Big Four Agenda under affordable housing.

“We are going around the country to have a physical feel of the projects and try to understand some of the chal-lenges hindering their execu-tion and find ways of unlocking to fast track implementation,” said Jerome.

The Government spokesman while addressing the press after inspection of multibil-lion Chemususu water supply constructed at Sh 3.5 billion dispelled rumours peddled by some individuals to the ef-fect that the government had abandoned the Big Four pro-jects to concentrate on consti-tutional amendments.

He made it clear that the government was committed to completing all legacy infra-structural projects as planned urging wananchi to disregard such baseless allegations.

respectively.In his remarks, read by the

Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS), Nelson Gaichuhie,

CS Yatani noted, “The TWENDE project will reduce the cost of climate change induced drought on Kenya’s economy by increasing re-silience of the livestock and other land use sectors in re-stored rangeland ecosystems, as identified in our Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and development pri-orities”.

He further reiterated the government’s commitment to green climate finance, through the Green Climate Fund, say-ing the innovative mechanism presented by the GCF will en-able the country access cli-mate finance and facilitate the implementation of the Big Four Agenda and Vision 2030, with a climate lens.

Responding to the climate challenge especially in the era of COVID-19, Yatani said it will however require collective and innovative action including significant financial resources from both the public and pri-vate sectors.

The Environment and For-estry Cabinet Secretary

Keriako Tobiko has described the impact of climate change as the biggest threat facing humanity today.

Tobiko says the phenom-enon of Climate Change which manifests itself through wors-ening extreme weather condi-tions resulting in floods and drought have compromised national aspirations besides impacting negatively on ef-forts to achieve national goals.

The CS who was speaking in his office during a virtual meeting, said the impact of adverse weather have severely compromised on Kenya’s as-pirations which are envisaged

in the national Constitution, Vision 2030, the Big Four Agenda as well as the gains so far made by the Government.

Tobiko said that the Minis-try as the lead agent had taken bold and progressive steps in pushing the Climate Change agenda in the country by put-ting in place the requisite policy and legal instruments to provide guidance and lead-ership in an endeavour to ad-dress issues of climate change at both the national and county levels.

The Tobiko, enumerated some of the policy instruments put in place by the government in order to mitigate the impact of climate change as the Cli-

BY IRUNGU MWANGI (KNA)

Construction of the giant Thiba Dam in Kirinyaga County will be com-

pleted by this December, the County Development Imple-mentation and Co-ordination committee has been assured.

The project Manager Engi-neer Stephen Mutinda told the CDICC which was on a tour of the project site that the dam was 52 per cent complete and all the major works have been completed.

“With these major works now completed, what is re-maining will be done within now and December when we will officially hand over the mega project to our client the Government of Kenya,” Mutinda assured the commit-tee.The committee comprising three Principal Secretaries was also informed of various chal-lenges which the contractor has been experiencing includ-ing delayed reimbursement of import taxes for the construc-tion equipment.

It also emerged that some legal challenges concerning land compensation where the dam is being constructed had resulted in some delays though the matter has been now fully resolved.

The PSs in the team include Professor Hamadi Boga of Ag-riculture, Eng. Andrew Kamau of Petroleum and his Post Training and Skills Develop-ment Mr. Alfred Cheruiyot.

Speaking to the press later at the dam site, Eng.Kamau said his team was convinced that the contractor would be able to deliver the Sh 20 billion project by the end of the year.

He said once complete, Mwea rice farmers will plant the crop twice a year since they will no longer depend on rain-fed agriculture.

The dam which will hold 15 million cubic meters of water will be used by the farmers within Mutithi section where the existing scheme is being expanded by 10,000 acres.

Currently, the Mwea Irriga-tion Scheme has 25,000 acres under rice cultivation but upon expansion, will now add up to 35,000 acres which will trans-late to double production of paddy rice, according to the National Irrigation Author-ity Director-General Gitonga Mugambi

“As from next year, upon being handed over the Thiba Mega-Dam, rice production in Mwea will double from the current 120,000 metric tons to about 250,000 metric tons due to the double cropping,” Mugambi who was present said. He also said the income from the crop which stands at Sh 9 billion will also shoot up three-fold to about Sh 20 bil-lion per year and improve the wellbeing of the farmers.

Mugambi said the project commenced in December 2018 and was progressing on well despite some of the challenges the contractor had raised.

Later, the team which was being conducted on the tour by the Kirinyaga County Com-missioner Jim Njoka visited the Wanguru stadium whose construction works are at 70 percent.

Prof. Boga later told the media at the facility that the contractor had committed to complete the project by August.“When completed, this stadium which will have the state of the art facili-ties will host local, national and even international events thus improving the economic fortunes of Ngurubani town which is within the area,” the official noted.

Gigantic Thiba Dam to be complete

by end year, says project manager

A team of Principal Secretaries is introduced to the dam and the works so far accomplished.

The Tourism Fund will train hoteliers and other stakeholders in the

tourism sector on best prac-tices to attract tourists to their facilities.

Tourism Fund Board of Trustees Chairman Alphonse Kioko said his organisation had entered into a partner-ship with Kenya Utalii College to offer quality training to ho-teliers and tour companies on ways to improve on standards for tourism.

“This is very important because as tourists come to Kenya, there’s need to find the standards of hospitality very high, they need to find seamless service whether in the big hotels or the small ones,” Kioko said.

Speaking when he met ho-teliers and stakeholders in the tourism sector from Laikipia County at a Nanyuki hotel, the Tourism Fund Chairman added that it was important that the basic knowledge of health and service were up-held by players in the sector.

Kioko further said that the aim of the training was to ensure that local and inter-national tourists take Kenya as their preferred destination globally.

The Tourism Board chair further added that the hotel-iers would also be trained on bookkeeping to help them properly manage their day to day operations and accounts.

“We want to show them on ways to curb on their losses and improve on their busi-nesses,” he said.

At the same time, Kioko called on players in the tour-ism sector to ensure compli-ance in remitting the two percent levy to the Fund as the proceeds were used by the government to market tourist destinations across the coun-try.

Tourism Fund is charged with the mandate of collect-ing two percent revenue from hotels, the homestays, and other facilities that give ac-commodation and this reve-nue goes to support the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) in mar-keting the country.

However, a section of ho-teliers questioned how the two percent levy was being utilised claiming that the trickle effect is never felt in their businesses.

Gilbert Mutembei, the pro-

prietor of Beisa hotel in Nany-uki town lamented that the hospitality industry had been turned into a cash cow due to the many levies and charges from the National and County Governments.

“What is so special in tour-ism to attract so many levies? We don’t see where the levies charged go to and I feel it’s time to re-evaluate the coun-try’s marketing strategies especially abroad if we have to turn around this sector,” Mutembei said.

The hotelier challenged Tourism Fund to get relevance in the sector by being more proactive in engaging players in the industry.

Community health work-ers in Kirinyaga County will be trained on how

to handling stigma associated with the coronavirus as well as home care guidelines.

According to Governor Anne Waiguru, the training which will cover the entire county medical workforce is spon-sored by AMREF Health Africa.

Speaking at her office, Waiguru said the the partner-ship between AMREF and the county government is essen-tial as many of the targeted workers will benefit from the training.

The Governor further said the training will go a long way in equipping healthcare providers as part of providing comprehensive health care to the county residents

“Apart from developing the human capital in the health sector, my administration has also undertaken massive in-

frastructural development in the sector.

The training, Waiguru said, will take one month and tar-gets 1,500 community health workers who include commu-nity health volunteers (CHVs) and community health exten-sion officers.

Speaking at Thiba Health Center during one of the training sessions, the County Community Health Services coordinator, Kagiri Gatama said, the training was a timely intervention that will build the capacity of community health workers to handle the corona virus and other health matters in the community.

Gatama said the role played by community health vol-unteers was important as it enabled them to penetrate the community and create the much need public health awareness.

“They will be trained on various aspects of Covid-19

and prevention of other com-municable and non-commu-nicable diseases so that that they can in turn educate the public on how to deal with such ailments and avoid stigma against people suffering from them, “ he said.

Gatama added that commu-

nity health education has had a huge impact on reduction and prevention of many diseases.

He cited the drastic drop in malaria cases in the county where 360,000 cases were re-ported in 2005 but over time, the disease prevalence has re-duced to the current 25,000 to

30,000 cases per year. This he attributed to intensi-

fied community health promo-tion that included educating residents on the importance of sleeping under insecticide-treated mosquito nets as a con-tainment measure.

Gatama said the county no

longer experiences epidem-ics such as diarrhea which has been the norm dur-ing the mango season, not-ing that through community health education, people have adopted good basic hygiene practices such as the washing of hands, fruits, and vegetables before consumption.

He said Kirinyaga has also been able to keep Covid-19 in check due to heightened pub-lic awareness campaigns that could not be successful with-out the input of the commu-nity health volunteers who are currently engaged in the Covid -19 accelerated prevention campaign.

The health sector in Kirin-yaga has made great strides in the recent past with the biggest investment being the mod-ern medical complex that will transform Kerugoya County Hospital from a Level Four to a Level Five facility.

The CS said that the in-struments put in place by the Ministry have provided a condusive environment for both state and non-state ac-tors to operate and play re-spective roles in addressing climate change, saying it was paramount for public and

stakeholders’ engagements to translate these policies into action for positive impact.

Tobiko further applauded the establishment of the Cli-mate Finance and Green Growth Unit at the Ministry of Finance and Planning which he said was a step in the right direction taking cognizance of finance as a key enabler in cli-mate action.

The CS said that the Na-tional Designated Authority for Green Climate Fund and Adaptation Fund was critical in accelerating climate fi-nance flow into the country, adding that, ’resources are fi-nite and to access more fund-ing from diverse base calls for innovation and ingenuity.

Tobiko called for leveraging

on resources from the private sector through innovative av-enues like green bound and carbon trading which were important as the private sector has a huge potential; to boost the climate financial flows.

The CS said there was there-fore need to cast the net wider with a bid to tap more sources of funding to mitigate against climate change including bi-lateral, multi- lateral engage-ments and UNFCCC climate finance mechanisms.

The CS underscored the importance for resource mo-bilization to support climate change adding that mobiliza-tion of external resources was critical even as “we strength internal resources mobiliza-tion mechanisms”.

BY JOYCE WACHAU (Correspondent)

Commercial rabbit farming in Kenya has for a long time, not

gained the ground that farm-ers would really desire. But lately, rabbit farmers have started earning tidy sums of money by venturing into this enterprise, whose potential as a lucrative venture is quite huge.

In the heart of Githunguri village, Gatanga sub-county, a student Martha Kabura has been working tirelessly in this venture, already having in her possession, 50 grade rabbits at a time the corona pandemic has dashed the hopes of many entrepre-neurs.

Having started with only 4 rabbits, she is proud to now showcase just how big her business has grown, to a total of 50 rabbits.

Among her 50 rabbits, she has four main breeds which can be easily distinguished by their features. She rears the California White which can be identified by their black nose, red eyes and black feet, the New Zealand with red eyes, the Dutch with a white tie and lastly the Giant Fleming known for having a brown furry body and whose increase in weight happens so fast.

Martha solely feeds her rabbits on pellets, hay and sweet potato vines that are first left to soften before being fed to the animals. A half handful of pellets is mixed with a half cup of bread crumbs, to save on the feeds, whereby the rabbits are fed only once in a day.

“Rabbits love cleanliness hence their water is changed every day and the hutch cleaned too. To ensure the rabbits remain healthy, they are feed with D.C.P and mul-tivitamins in a bid to boost their immunity,” she says.

Another interesting thing is that, once they give birth, the babies should not be touched until they are over 10 days, since the mother can refuse to breastfeed them. They also stand a high chance of contracting diseases if touched. Grass is hung for them and not put on the floor of the cage, so as to enhance cleanliness.

Owing to travel restrictions

inhibiting arrival of custom-ers from far, Kabura sells her rabbits locally.

“A rabbit usually goes for Sh3,500 and the meat is sold at Sh400 per kilo,” says Ka-bura as she puts up one rab-bit on a scale to determine its weight, when she took through this writer about her rabbit rearing business recently.

When it comes to rab-bit farming, nothing goes to waste. Their waste is used in farming and actually the best when it comes to strawberry farming. The skin/fur can be sold to the textile industries while the urine is also used as fertilizer, and an effective insecticide.

“The urine is also sold at Sh150 per litre. Rabbit meat is soft and sweet, hence even kids can easily consume it,” explains the young farmer.

“People are yet to have the necessary awareness when it comes to rabbit rearing and production. Many people engage in small scale rearing since they are not equipped with the necessary informa-tion when it comes to rab-bits,” she notes.

When rearing rabbits, it is good to have a few concrete facts that will help one navi-gate the course. Rabbits are a very territorial lot and hate anything that stresses them. When it comes to mating, the female has to be taken to the male and that act is known as serving. Also to avoid in-terbreeding which results to inferior breeds, males and females are put in different hutches. They communicate by stomping their feet or as a way of indicating there is danger.

Rabbits require sufficient light and no cold. When putting up the hutches, one should ensure there is space between the top cages and

those below, to give room for waste collection. Under the cage, a translucent/plastic iron sheet is placed to col-lect the urine which is highly corrosive. Normal iron sheets would easily corrode. The hutch should be slanted so that the urine is drained into containers. If not slanted, the rabbits risk the danger of getting sick, once exposed to their waste.

Some of the diseases they are easily prone to include; pneumonia, bloating which mostly occurs during wean-ing but can be countered by glycerine which is also cru-cial in mite eradication which affects their ears, mouth and feet. Unless controlled, rats can eat up rabbit babies at tender ages.

“Just like any other enter-prise, rabbit farming has its challenges. They include high capital injection required to ensure high quality hutch, which normally goes for up to Sh50,000.

Exploitation by middlemen or other farmers is also dev-astating since they are usu-ally intent on buying rabbits, or the meat at a very cheap price.

“The government should invest in rabbit skin indus-tries since it is hard to get one,” appeals Kabura.

The fact that there is no market for rabbit skin makes her dispose them off, which is a loss, considering that they could still fetch good money if they got a market.

Youngster hopes to ride out of poverty through rabbit rearing

Rabbits love cleanliness

hence their water is changed every day and the hutch cleaned too,”–Kabura

Provision of adequate water and development of infra-

structure are key to address-ing resource-based conflicts in border, arid and semi-arid lands.

Devolution and arid and Semi-Arid Lands Cabinet Sec-retary Eugene Wamalwa said peace dividends are evident in areas that suffered perennial cross-border conflicts through provision of water.

Speaking in Lodwar during the launch of the UNDP Africa Borderlands Centre, Wamalwa said the cross-border peace in-itiatives have realized dividends

in form of projects in Marsabit, Turkana and West Pokot coun-ties funded by the Government, EU and UNDP.

“The Government has un-dertaken tangible projects in Marsabit and Moyale for youth to accord a steady income to families and keep the young people from radicalism and other violent activities and environment-friendly benefits for women groups to protect the environment; Urum Water Reticulation project in Turkana benefiting 3,000 households; and Nasal Water Project in West Pokot benefiting 2,000 house-holds”, he said.

The CS said the construc-

tion of three strategic multi-purpose dams, is ongoing in Marsabit (Aldere- Forore), Turkana (Namoni - Angi’kaala) and Kasei, West Pokot counties noting that they are expected to ease pressure on water facilities along the borders as part of the lasting solution to resource-based conflicts. The CS said the Governments of Kenya, Ethio-pia and Uganda, in collabora-tion with IGAD, the UN and other Partners and key stake-holders developed bi-lateral frameworks to foster peaceful co-existence along the border areas. “In the spirit of cross-border collaboration, we are hopeful to develop similar ini-

tiatives to benefit cross-border communities between Kenya and Sudan, South Sudan and Tanzania”, he said. Wamalwa commended UNDP for launch-ing the Africa Borderlands Cen-tre that is expected to provide research, policy analysis and programming that will be fo-cusing on ways to unlock the potential of Africa’s border-lands and transform the lives of communities in these areas.

Present during the launch included Josephat Nanok, Gov-ernor Turkana County, Micah Powon, Principal Secretary, State Department for ASALs , Dr. Workneh Gebeyehu,among others.

Traffic police officers in Murang’a have organised weekly trainings for boda-boda operators to help mini-mise road accidents.

Murang’a North Traffic Commandant Julius Marwa noted that increased acci-dents occasioned by the op-erators have prompted them to start training the riders on how to embrace road regula-tions.

Speaking to KNA in his office, Marwa observed that they will be training the rid-ers once every week saying most accidents have been caused through careless rid-ing.

In the trainings, the op-erators will also be educated on how to follow rules when involved in accidents to stop cases where bodaboda rid-ers in the recent past have been burning cars of motor-ists who knock or collide with riders.

“In a week, here in Murang’a north we record about five accidents involv-ing a bodaboda rider. Un-fortunately, when a rider is involved in an accident, the majority of them tend to hide and this poses a challenge of getting the right statistics,”

explained Marwa.Majority of riders, he

added, lack basic training on road safety and regulations saying those who are being employed to do the business often fail to be keen while in line of duty.

“Those employed on commission are usually careless, their target is to raise the money needed by their employer and in case of an accident, they leave the motorcycle behind and disappear,” added the com-mandant.

Marwa further observed that most motorcycles are not registered saying this also poses a challenge to track a bike which is involved in an accident.

“What we will mostly focus on in the training is about road safety and regu-lations, registration, insur-ance and ways of handling accident cases,” he added.

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Board of Directors has granted the

newly established Teso Campus permission to start admissions next month.

The campus located at Ko-cholya in Teso North constitu-ency received a clean bill of health to operate, following Monday’s commissioning, by the KMTC Board of Directors Chairman Professor Philip Ka-loki and Busia Governor Sos-peter Ojaamong.

Kaloki said the new cam-pus brings the total number of KMTC campuses to two in Busia County and 72 across the coun-try.

“The KMTC board of direc-tors is pleased with this project and we have agreed to accept it as one of our campuses. We are going to officially open it for first admissions in March this year.” he stated.

He lauded Teso North legis-lator, Oku Kaunya, for offering to sponsor the first batch of 120 students through the National Government Constituency De-velopment Fund (NG-CDF) to a tune of Sh.15 million.

He said the KMTC board will offer the Teso North community a special consideration during

the March intake so that many students from the constituency can be admitted.

“The board is ready to con-sider 50% admission for the local community but for March intake, we will admit 100% of locals who will apply,” he said.

Kaloki who said the new campus is in line with Presi-dent Uhuru Kenyatta’s agenda on Universal Health Coverage noted that it will additionally foster development in the area and improve the

socio-economic status of the local community through em-ployment, real estate and busi-nesses.

Governor Ojaamong hailed the area MP for the multi-mil-lion NG-CDF project saying his administration is ready to work closely with all the seven Mem-bers of Parliament to foster de-velopment in the County.

He said the county will up-grade Kocholya Sub County hospital to Level Five so that it can offer a favourable training

environment for students set to join the new campus.

“Kocholia Sub County Hospi-tal currently has state- of -the -art equipment. We shall inject Sh.60 million for its upgrading to Level 5 status to enable stu-dents from the new campus to undertake their practicals and attachment,” he said.

Kaunya revealed that the NG-CDF invested Sh.45million for the first phase of the project and is set to invest Sh.30million for the second phase this finan-cial year.

He said the NG-CDF will fully sponsor the first 120 students to kick-start the campus.

“We are paying full fees for the students to the tune of Sh.15 million. Through our parlia-mentary departmental com-mittees on Health and that of Finance, we have been allocated Sh.12 million to build a hostel.

He appealed to the local com-munity to ensure their children apply for the various medical courses to be offered at the col-lege.

“I believe empowering the community starts with em-powering the youth and em-powering the youth starts with giving them skills” he noted, adding that the college will tre-mendously transform the area socio-economically.
