2 april – june, 2021 NYANDARUA TODAY

By H.E FRANCIS KIMEMIA, E.G.H, C.B.S

It is a priority for all Kenyans that they can be sure they can always find enough clean water for their

daily uses. This need is not restricted to

traditionally arid and semi-arid areas alone where water scarcity is a cyclical problem.

In the central parts of Kenya where water is seen to be plentiful, climate change and human activities are having an ever-growing impact on water supply.

For far too long, though, the efforts many people such as small-scale farmers, local community groups, and water resource users’ associations are making to protect the sources upstream of key water reservoirs that supply cities, have been neglected and their contribution to water security downplayed.

Furthermore, county

governments, NGOs and other stakeholders continue to contribute to conserving water and its sources for the benefit of all.

Now is the time to adapt the “polluter pays” principle and apply it to protecting water sources.

The principle says that whoever pollutes must be made to pay for the damage the pollution causes.

I also believe that whoever conserves must enjoy a pay-back.

So, I propose the “conservator payback” principle, to balance the costs and rewards of protecting the water we all need, especially as climate change increases.

Those who are conserving the environment, protecting water sources that many others use, and storing carbon to help tackle climate change, need to be commended and encouraged to continue so that there is sufficient water for the country.

Nyandarua is a water-rich county supplying many parts of the nation: Nairobi, Naivasha, Gilgil and Kabarak, among several others.

Our Lake Olbollosat, on the other hand, feeds the entire stretch from Laikipia to Wajir.

At 2,340 meters above sea level, the lake is the only natural water mass in the former Central Province.

With a 4 kilometre all-round stretch, it is also famous for rare bird species, marine life, and a mix of both saline and fresh waters.

In all this, the generous people of Nyandarua are managing the politics of water while conserving our environment.

To us, managing the watershed that supplies the water in the first place is a key component of the entire water service chain.

It cannot be considered in isolation.

Though rivers are shared national resources, Government, corporations and people of goodwill should invest to ensure that those who protect these natural resources get something back so that they enjoy the fruits of what they forego for their conservation efforts.

Together with the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation we are exploring ways in which the County can be allowed to put up water treatment plants with partners such as the World Bank to ensure that water sourced from Nyandarua and received in other towns is treated at source.

By installing upstream reservoirs, we can ensure that Sasumua Dam remains full while communities in the area receive water for domestic use and irrigation.

In this way our county can make some money from the resource, and the people of Nyandarua can get some pay-back for their conservation efforts through interventions such as major dams or other corporate social investments to safeguard

their continued support. Why should they watch as the

water they work hard to protect flows past them into other towns and yet their environments remain dusty with no water for personal use or irrigation?

There is a programme already underway in Nyandarua that shows how this conservator’s payback can work: the Upper Tana Nairobi Water Fund (UTNWF).

The model, started by the Government of Kenya with private companies such as Frigoken, Pentair, Coca-Cola, East Africa Breweries and Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company, seeks to ensure sustainable water quality and quantity for all using the ‘Abstractors Pay’ Principle.

Major water users or abstractors downstream pay to compensate those who take care of the sources and invest in conservation upstream.

The UTNWF has been operational since 2015 and a Memorandum Of Understanding with Nyandarua County was formalized in August 2020, through a conservation partnership with the global conservation organization, The Nature Conservancy (TNC).

An expert in water funds, TNC pioneered the model and now supports more than 40 water funds around the world.

In Nyandarua, nearly 4,000 farmers are benefitting from the UTNWF activities such as

construction of rainwater harvesting water pans, planting grass strips, building terraces, rehabilitating dams and planting trees for agroforestry.

Our tree cover has increased to nearly 30 per cent.

This shows how it can be done. The ‘polluter pays’ principle

is already recognized in our Environmental Management and

Co-ordination Act. If we now enact stronger water

policy and legislation to adapt this for water protection, it will create a win-for-all “from the top to the tap,” and stronger linkages from the source to the user. The writer is the Governor, Nyandarua County. (@NyandaruaCG018)

700patients

Established in 1974 as a sub-district hospital by the late veteran legislator

Hon. Josiah Mwangi Kariuki, the facility has moved from serving 300 clients per day in 2017 to serving over 700 clients

each day this year.

Now is the time to adapt the “polluter pays” principle and apply it to protecting water sources.

The J.M Kariuki Memorial County Referral Hospital in Ol’Kalou Sub-County now has an ultra-modern Intensive Care

Unit, ushering in a new era for residents of Nyandarua.

The move fulfils the second pillar of Governor Kimemia’s manifesto, in which he committed to ensure that the County develops an accessible health service that is preventive, curative, responsive, efficient and affordable.

The unit has served 21 COVID-19 patients and six who were free from the pandemic since establishment in March 2021.

Significant upgrades under Governor Kimemia also include renovation of outpatient departments; building of a modern laboratory and an emergency block; setting up of a dialysis unit; modernization of its radiology department and building of a twin theatre.

Ongoing projects include renovation of the hospital’s kitchen; building of an ultra-modern pathology / morgue facility and a 500-bed Level 6 facility which will be handed over to a contractor on June 18, 2021.

Established in 1974 as a sub-district hospital by the late veteran legislator Hon. Josiah Mwangi Kariuki, the facility has moved from serving 300 clients per day in 2017 to serving over 700 clients each day this year.

Governor Kimemia thanked

all development partners, including the Government of the Republic of Korea, for supporting upgrades at the hospital.

The ambassador, whose Government has also financed post-graduate training for County Government staff, welcomed changes at the facility before donating N95 face masks and sanitizers. Present was Amb. Gathoga Chege from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, County Executive Committee Members and Chief Officers, among other senior County Government officials.

By PROF. X.N IRAKI

On a visit to Happy Valley (Wanjohi) in Nyandarua County about five years

ago, I overheard from Solomon Gitau, the main character in Juliet Barnes’ Ghosts of Happy Valley, that Al Capone, one of the US’ best-known mobsters, used to live there. Wanjohi hugs the Aberdares about 30km East of Naivasha.

We normally take such rumours with a pinch of salt. But my years in school have taught me that skepticism and speculation can be great sources of information and knowledge.

Covid-19’s first lockdown was Newtonian. It left us looking for something to do just like Isaac Newton during a similar pandemic around 1665-1667 AD. He left for the countryside and in all its tranquillity developed the concept of gravity and the laws of motion that bear his name.

Beyond anxiety and grief, Covid-19 lockdowns give us time to reflect and pursue our hobbies or dreams. Never mind some dreams will turn into nightmares.

In the first lockdown, I wrote a book I had long wanted to. But of more importance to me, I got hold of some British and non-British

settlers who once made Kenya their home before the wind of change blew them away. Mzungus included South Africans, Australians, Jews, Norwegian, Danes, Czechs and other nationalities.

Using snowballing, where one respondent leads to another, I got a number of former settlers or their children. They were willing to share their history from their mother country, their life in Kenya, and how they rode through Mau Mau and the aftermath.

One of the mzungus, Guy Hallowes, based in Australia, mentioned in passing that he met Stanley “Davo” Davidson in the Happy Valley. Davo was Al Capone’s bodyguard. That was intriguing. Al Capone? Hallowes described how Davos used to entertain them as children with his gun tricks. Was Solomon right after all?

I put the question to another mzungu living in South Africa. His reply was even more intriguing. He not only told me that Davos was a next-door neighbour but knew his spouse and stepchildren. I am still seeking more details from him. Davo left for South Africa after uhuru. He died there in 1996 aged 91 years after marrying his second and third wives. He was born in Scotland in 1905 but his family moved to Queensland, Australia, later before he made his way to Chicago, USA, where he got involved with Al Capone.

Online search was also helpful, Time Magazine dated November 16, 1953, mentions Davo trying to get Dedan Kimathi during the Mau Mau uprising. There is no mention of his Al Capone connection. Davo was injured in the forest but never got Kimathi despite exchanging messages with him. Their conversation is captured aptly in Time.

Davidson: “Greetings, Kimathi. I want you to know I have now left

the hospital. I am returning to the Aberdares to capture or kill you.” He did that over the radio.

Self-defence in school Kimathi replied in a letter

to a local newspaper: “I shall be away from Kenya in November and December visiting Uganda, the Sudan and Egypt. After that, I attend a Pan-African conference in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia. (Signed) Kimathi, Marshal and Commander-in-Chief, Defense Council, Land Freedom Army.”

The New York Times of June 8, 1964 mentions him as running a self-defence school, The Combat Survival School, in Johannesburg, South Africa. Again, no mention of his Al Capone connection. But his fight against Mau Mau is mentioned. Snippets of his life story also appear on Facebook. He was 60 in 1964.

Davo appears in British Parliament Hansard dated July 15, 1953 where Mr Paget asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what authority he had given to Davo to kill Her Majesty’s subjects in Kenya and how many of Her Majesty’s subjects in Kenya had been shot by Davo.

Davo was reported to have killed 33 terrorists using an automatic rifle and a .45 revolver. The terrorists referred to herein are Mau Mau freedom fighters.

Kenya Gazette Notice dated November 24, 1953 reports that Stanley Davidson was awarded colonial police medal for gallantry.

I tried digging deeper, checking for his records with FBI online. I did not make a breakthrough. But my sources are credible enough to conclude that Davo Davidson lived in Kenya.

What is not clear to me is whether he was in Kenya as a fugitive of justice. How did he come to Kenya? Was he ever taken to court in Chicago when Al Capone

was arrested? How was he recruited into the inner circle of Al Capone from Australia? Could his presence in the Happy Valley explain the drugs supply chain? Al Capone died in 1947 long after the best years of Happy Valley. Is it possible that Al Capone might have visited Kenya? These questions leave my head spinning.

Fast forward to Dr. Anne Spoerry, the founder of flying doctors service. Her connection to the Nazis was only revealed after her death in 1999. John Hemingway notes that she came to Africa in 1948, “where she eventually settled and was able to conceal and atone for her past.” Some suggest she partook of Nazi extremes to save her own soul; that will remain an open question. It seems few knew of her past as she lived and practised medicine in Kenya until her death. She was a member of Ol Kalou District Council from January 1, 1960 as appointed by the minister of Local Government and Town Planning, reports the Kenya Gazette.

Coincidentally, she lived in the same neighbourhood with Davo, in Nyandarua’s Happy Valley or its edges. I have visited her clinic in Ol Kalou but I am yet to identify Davo’s home. However, from my South African source, it’s around the same area.

Enough of Davo and Spoerry. Nyandarua County has never exploited her extraordinary history, which I believe is worth more than potatoes and milk combined. Noted the money Egypt makes from tombs (pyramids) and dead bodies (mummies)?

Many tourists would love to visit historical houses and sites where Davo and Spoerry lived. I have repeatedly argued that the best way to revenge against colonialism is to make money out of it. Heritage Trust Kenya can help

you market such houses. But such sites have to be

creatively packaged and a narrative built around them like the one on Egyptian pyramids, the Taj Mahal or canals of Venice. Nyandarua County is not just famous for hosting some men and women who can raise our hair. It has produced some great people. It has given Australia two former envoys to Kenya.

The high commissioners’ parents or grandparents lived in that county dotted with Maasai names, from Ol Joro Orok to Ol Kalou, Kinangop, Shamata and Kipipiri, among others. Natives of this county pronounce these names in a very different and at times entertaining way. A good example is Ol Joro Orok which is pronounced as njororoko. Kipipiri is “Kibîbîri”, which obstructs its Maa origin.

Nyandarua, gifted with immense natural beauty is a very religious county. Religious leaders always comment on weighty county matters. The number of churches also support the predominance of religion. I am told you cannot ascend to power there without church support.

For that, the county might not want to be associated with Davo, Spoerry or Happy Valley famous for adultery and drugs in the rolling 1920s. Lord Errol had a home there. His death in 1941 marked the end of Happy Valley’s “golden age.”

All this leaves us with a big question. What attracted such characters to Kenya? Could there be other such characters hiding in Kenya today? Where is their hiding place after Happy Valley got new owners?

Nyandarua, which is home to over 70 per cent of the Aberdare National Park and Forest Reserve, also hosts Kenya’s only

highland lake, Ol’Bollosat; cultural tourism through Happy Valley Homes; agri-tourism; sports tourism and equatorial lines.

In order to realize its true value in tourism, His Excellency Governor Francis Kimemia is putting in place a tourism legal and policy framework to guide the mapping, profiling, promotion, product diversification and investment opportunities in the sector.

This is in addition to gazettement of Lake Ol’Bollosat as a National Reserve under the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act; undertaking a robust tourism marketing campaign with other stakeholders; establishing a recreational center at Kiganjo Dam (proposed); and developing a monument at the Gwa Kungu Equatorial Line with an in-built coffee shop, curios and other amenities that will be operated by Nyandarua’s women, youth and persons with disability (proposed).

We are also re-kindling the story behind Mau Mau caves as part of re-telling our story in the struggle for independence.

Riding high on the shoulders of our war veterans, we will teach our children the history of our nation, celebrate and preserve our culture.

We now also have the Ol’Kalou Arboretum, Kenya’s second and largest such facility.

The unique green space, which has been preserved and maintained as an urban forest, sits on 79 acres of land.

It provides an ideal space for events of up to

1,000 sitting capacity, picnics, jogging, walking or unwinding.

It is also ideal for sports tourism and nature trailing for fitness enthusiasts.

The arboretum offers a great opportunity for investments, including star-rated hotels.

Governor Kimemia continues to put in place robust incentives for investments towards this goal. The writer is the County Executive Committee Member for Water, Environment, Tourism and Natural Resources. (@NyandaruaCG018)

Dear #018CHECKPOINT readers,

I’d like to take a moment to introduce you to this insert, which ushers in a new way of telling our stories and the inclusive coverage you expect from Nyandarua Today.

The essential role citizen journalism plays in safeguarding our nascent democracy is demonstrated in the stories your peers are telling in this edition, allowing you to take something meaningful away from it.

I am thrilled to see these contributions, and you’ll be hearing directly from more voices in coming months.

As you may have noticed, we are beginning with 12 pages. I assure readers who share our commitment to enhance civic education and public

participation that these pages can and will be increased as and when the need arises. Are you a disruptor, maverick and pioneer from Nyandarua who is creating, innovating and,

above all, thinking big?

Or are you simply a keen observer of people, issues and events in your neighbourhood?

Let our editorial team know right away!

Until the next edition, thank you for reading #018CHECKPOINT and supporting our

mission of FREE journalism within the devolution sector.

Research and development hold the key to Nyandarua’s transformation, His Excellency Governor Francis

Kimemia has said. Speaking when he donated KShs.

500,000 to Mr. Simon Ndirangu at Kenyatta University on July 7, 2020, Governor Kimemia announced his readiness to back indigenous ground-breaking innovations.

“Any Nyandaruan who is at the forefront of resolving complex challenges facing our society should liaise with me directly via [email protected] or the nearest County Government office,” said the Governor.

Mr. Ndirangu, who hails from Kiriita Ward in Ndaragwa Sub-County, has come up with an innovation that uses 3D-printing to produce nasal swabs.

The fourth-year biotechnology student explained that the swabs are made using a technology called Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), a common thermoplastic polymer used in food packaging.

His innovation was largely triggered by a shortage of swabs, which has been a major hindrance in the ongoing fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

“With the increasing cases of the virus in the country, my innovation once approved by the Ministry of Health might come in handy for testing a larger group of people compared to what is happening today,” he said.

With only two major producers of swabs in the world, the young innovator intends to produce 1,000 swabs per

printer daily at the varsity’s Business Innovation and Incubation Center, at an affordable price of KShs. 100 per swab.

The easy-to-use swabs have a molded breaking point that allows health workers to easily break off the swabs instead of using scissors, which he termed as unsafe.

“These swabs are easier to use than the ones already in use,” added an upbeat Mr. Ndirangu.

Ndirangu, who takes pride in Nyandarua, urged fellow youth to come up with new ideas that will be of benefit to them and the community at large.

Governor Kimemia congratulated Mr. Ndirangu for the timely innovation, terming it a milestone in the fight against

Covid-19.“My Government is keen on tapping

such young innovative brains by providing relevant forms of support, including industrial linkages, moral and financial support,” he said.

Ahead of his election in 2017, the County boss pledged to intensify the County Government’s engagement with citizens, professionals, investors and other partners in sharpening Nyandarua’s development priorities.

The Governor was accompanied by Mr. Ndirangu’s parents, Mzee Samuel Ndirangu and Mama Saraphina Wanjiru. Additional reporting by Kenyatta University Press.

At the Ol’Kalou Arboretum on April 8, 2021, His Excellency Governor Francis Kimemia presided over an induction of interns, a first

for Nyandarua since 2013. Renewable once after six months, the

intake follows a commitment Governor Kimemia made in the second pillar of his manifesto to establish an internship program for the County’s youth so as to prepare them for a fast-changing marketplace.

The exercise, which was phased over two days in conformity with COVID-19 restrictions, witnessed the introduction of interns living with disabilities and other minorities into the County Public Service.

Of the 200 interviewed, 125 have reported for duty with the remaining 75 to be replaced by the County Public Service Board.

According to the County Government’s human resource policy, degree holders receive KShs. 20,000, diploma holders KShs. 15,000 and certificate holders Kshs. 10,000 respectively in monthly stipends.

Governor Kimemia urged the interns to use the money wisely and uphold County Public service norms.

The Governor further directed acting County Secretary and Head of Public Service Hon. Stephen Njoroge, who also heads the Finance and Economic Development docket, to provide medical cover for the interns.

Hon. Njoroge is also expected to shuffle them and explore opportunities for linkages with external entities during the internship.

The future Ndirangus


From Nyandarua to the world: Mutamaiyo hummingbirdThe writer, MARY WACHIRA WANJIKU, is planting indigenous trees for afforestation and supporting community livelihoods…

The Brown Olive for community livelihoods and environment conservation is a project that was established in April 2017. The project aims at curbing climate change and global warming mitigation by increasing the forest cover of the indigenous tree species which have proven to have hundreds of advantages to communities and their surroundings (natural resources, flora and fauna). The project targets farmers who cut down trees for agricultural activities, which end up causing land degradation and soil erosion.

The Brown Olive (Olea africanus) co-exists well with crops and livestock without causing any harm to natural resources, especially water bodies. It improves soil fertility, resulting in more yields. It is a habitat for birds and insects, while its twigs are palatable to goats and cows. Its beautiful and scented flowers attract pollinators, thus harmonizing the interdependence of organisms in a unified ecosystem.

What and where?

I come from Murungaru Ward in Kinangop Sub-County, where farming is the major agricultural activity. Residents often clear bushes and cut down trees to get land for cultivation. This causes deforestation, because they never again plant trees to replace the hundreds of trees destroyed, lead to natural habitat destruction. Thousands of fauna (micro and macro organisms) depend on the ecosystem.

Why?

As a scout who is very concerned about nature (specifically botany and zoology) protection, I did a short-term research on how the community can practice “mixed cropping” by planting their crops and trees on the same land. In line with my scouting commitments, this project helps in creating a better world by keeping our globe green and making earth a suitable place to live. It also helps young scouts play a constructive role in society as they individually and collectively prepare and manage nursery beds. Some have begun either donating or selling their seedlings.

How?

I am advocating for indigenous tree planting, which as earlier outlined is advantages to crops, communities and the wider environment.

Impact

The tree’s advantages include:

• Itshumusisrichinnutrientsandactsas an organic manure/fertilizer.

• Woodlot – an Olive forest helpsin mitigating global warming and

climate change. Its thick and dense canopy, coupled with fleshy evergreen leaves, plays a role in atmosphere purification and offers a calm environment, thereby contributing to Sustainable Development Goals 2, 6, 11, 13, 14 and 15.

• It forms a dense canopy whichprevents surface run-off, reducing soil erosion. Besides this, it offers a shade to both animals and plants, which prevent high evaporation. Its humid shade is an advantage to farmers whose crops’ transpiration rate is moderate and can withstand droughts.

• Its forage forms bio-humus, whichincreases soil fertility and water retention, leading to positive environmental impacts on macro and micro-organisms.

Challenges

The Brown Olive seeds are very expensive to buy and maintain once sowed. With the few resources I had, I was able to purchase a ¼ kg from certified Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI) outlets. After a while, the

seedlings were ready to be transplanted. I started by planting more trees in our compound, before donating to the community. I faced rejections while championing mixed cropping and reforestation. In some instances, trees I had donated were never taken care of. However, I kept visiting those homesteads and my Chief’s barazas to remind my community about conservation.

While visiting Churches and mosques, not all opinion leaders would let me in or give me the chance to educate the congregation. But I didn’t lose hope. I kept showing up and asking to be given a minute to speak. After every session, I donated a tree to mark the day.

Private and public academic institutions were initially hostile too, until I conducted a sensitization forum with respective heads. Thereafter, I was allowed to educate their learners.

I have also been handicapped financially, as I often need to buy more seedlings to donate to people who have heard about the project. I would also like to expand the project across Nyandarua and, later, Kenya and the world.

Solutions

With the help of fellow conservationist,

scouts and a few leaders, I was able to find solutions for some of the problems. I kept reaching more and more people in society, using several methods. I marked these sessions by planting trees and reminding them that it is not about money, our future and that of generations to come. This is why I bought the seeds, nurtured them to be strong seedlings using my own resources and gave them out to be full-grown trees to offer shade to those who will come after us.

I am glad they understood the concept. I am extremely glad when I see them either asking for more seedlings or calling me to monitor their growing trees.

The only challenge remaining is getting more funds to sustain the project and widen its scope. I believe that my efforts, just like those of a hummingbird, will continue having a lasting impact on our environment and the livelihoods of our people.

From Nyandarua to the world: Mutamaiyo hummingbird

ThE AuThOR In COnTExT

I am a Jasiri (Rover) scout, aged 27. I belong to Sparrow Rover crew of Nyandarua. I am both the County Youth Leader (CYL) and National Youth Leader (NYL). I hold the highest Scout award, CHIEF SCOUT

AWARD (2018), handed over to me by His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is the patron, Kenya Scout Association, owing to my continued voluntary service to the community.

In 2019, I was recognized as the MESSENGER OF PEACE HERO, a global award whose preparation and celebrations were held in Kuwait and handed over to me by Kuwait’s Prime Minister His Excellency Sheikh Jaber El Mubarak. This is an award given to young people contributing their noble efforts to the environment, which leads to promoting peace amongst abiotic and biotic (living and non-living) organisms. It was the least of my expectations. I never thought such a humble project would attract global attention and win an award. To me it is still like a dream.

On my return to Kenya, His Excellency Governor Francis Kimemia welcomed me to Nyandarua. My parents, Mr. Wachira Kariuki and Naomi Njeri, who accompanied me to the County Government headquarters in Ol’Kalou, are active members of the Friends of Kinangop Plateau (FOKP), which works to restore and rehabilitate the Aberdare Forest.

On his part, His Excellency President Kenyatta honoured me with the LETTER OF COMMENDATION AWARD for making my country shine. After these awards, my story began trending. I held interviews with Radio Citizen and TV, Inooro, K24, alongside Nyandarua and Nakuru County press. My story was published in The Standard newspaper. Later, such great organizations as GLOBAL PEACE FOUNDATION branded me a Global Peace Ambassador, while AFRICA YOUNG CONSERVATIONIST listed me and my project as one of the top 100 on the continent.

I have been a committed scout for the last 18 years. I will work tirelessly to see more young people come on board to help planet earth save our future generations. I am proud to be one of the registered Million Scouts of the World. I am always guided by the Rover scout Motto. “Service” and keep the scout law that, “Scout honor is to be trusted.” I base my service to the community on the Scout law number six: “A scout learns about nature and is concerned with its protection.” County Executive Committee Member for Water, Environment, Tourism and Natural Resources Hon.

In Ndunyu Njeru Township, on the outskirts of the Aberdare Ranges in North Kinangop Ward, Kinangop Sub-County, is Lora Wacuka Mucendu, a young lady who has defied all odds and skyrocketed

to high ranks within Kenya’s music industry. Popularly known as “hotcake,” the second-year accounting and finance student at the Co operative University of Kenya narrated her adventure in music to our correspondent, PHILLIP GITHAIGA.

Question: How are you faring as a girl child in the music industry?

Hot cake: It is hard, compared to our male counterparts. Society’s perception of secular music, especially that done by ladies, is unhelpful. They think it is dirty and unacceptable.

Question: Do you think it is possible for society to change its perception any time soon?

Hot cake: Yes. In the past, talent wasn’t perceived as something from which people can eke a living. In Nyandarua, many talents have been lost because of this view. But we have made great progress since the rising to stardom of the likes of Samidoh, Jose Gatutura and DJ Fatxo. It is slow, but I believe we shall eventually get to the Promised Land.

Question: Musicians have often been referred to as mirrors of society. Are they reflecting this in their art?

Hot cake: Some have upheld this in their good lyrics and composition that caution and condemn wrong doing in society. We also have those who corrupt society. As artists, we need to understand that there are so many people looking up to us, especially the youth.

Question: What genre of music do you specialize in?

Hot cake: I do Mugithi songs, modern Kikuyu and covers.

Question: Who is your source of inspiration?

Hot cake: It has to be Muringe, Irush and Kwame Rigii.

Question: What challenges have you faced lately?

Hot cake: The biggest challenge is lack of gigs owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There is also a lot of

ridicule from my age mates who think that I should be doing music in English.

Question: Have you received any form of support from Nyandarua County Government?

Hot cake: Yes, I have had a chance to record my music for free from the recording studio in Ol’Kalou, and I am very grateful for that. The facility has been of immense help to young people looking for opportunities. It has revitalized the sector across the County, leading to identification of such fresh bloods as the wildly talented Blessed Generation. For those sitting back, however, chances will continue passing them by.

Question: The pandemic has challenged the many ways in which we do life. How have you managed to keep up with your art and pay your bills?

Hot cake: I must confess that things have moved from bad to worse each new day. We have been reduced to performing before limited audiences because of Ministry of Health protocols against the pandemic. It is also very difficult to get a gig. However, this is also a good time to create an online following, which can eventually help one receive royalties upon meeting the required threshold. Accordingly, I am running a Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Question: How can the County Government help young talented artists in Nyandarua?

Hot cake: It ought to hold talent search events and offer to fully sponsor the winner to both record their music and shoot videos. I believe this will challenge our musicians to be more creative and professional.

His Excellency Governor Francis Kimemia unveiled the KShs. 4.5 million-worth facility last year at Ol’Kalou Youth Centre, where services are offered to talented youth at no cost.

Equipped with computers, free Wi-Fi services are also available at the studio, which was built in Financial Year 2019/20.

The County Government continues to sound-proof the facility, amidst plans to install video equipment.

Miharati and Njabini Youth Centers will soon be operational after fiber connectivity.

By DIANA WAITHANJI

Always Believe” is my mantra. Born and raised in Gatimu, Ol’Jororok Sub-County, I am now one of the young women from

Nyandarua making significant strides in Kenya and beyond.

I am passionate about leadership, cybersecurity and gender.

While I grappled with leadership in my childhood, it is at university that I led such associations as the Kenya Red Cross club and served as Secretary General of the Students’ Electoral Commission.

At home, I served in the Executive Council of the Nyandarua County Tertiary Students’ Association (2017/2018).

In 2017, I was a member of the committee that formulated the Nyandarua County Youth Policy.

I continue giving back through mentorship

Letter from Germany A long way gone: Memoirs

activities and community work via the Ol’Jororok Development Forum, under which I remain active.

I am currently in Germany for the AFRIKA KOMMT! Fellowship, a training programme for which I was competitively selected to become one of the 39 fellows out of over 9,100 applicants from across Africa.

I am getting professional exposure to the German business environment and international management training, while improving my proficiency in German.

I will, hereafter, join SAP SE, one of the largest software companies in the world, a German firm with ties to AFRIKA KOMMT!

At 25, I have won other global and local awards, including Cyber Leadership Program Skills Embodiment 2020; Cybersecurity Woman Barrier Breaker of the Year 2020; Top 35 Under 35 in Kenya 2020; Top 50 Women in Cybersecurity Africa 2020; Opportunity Desk Impact 30 Under 30 Change makers in Africa; and Zuri Awards 2020 (STEM Category).

I have made regular appearances on the BBC, Citizen TV, KUTV, Y254 TV and Coro FM, in addition to speaking at local and international conferences.

As young people, we should always look for spaces where we can expand our knowledge.

Begin with activities organized by your institution of learning, government, non-profits, among other actors.

Most of these are free.I capitalized on such when I was

at university to expand my knowledge, including via Google DevFest, where I would meet other developers, share what I am working on and learn from them.

I became a member of several professional associations, which I still utilize to expand my knowledge and my network.

Secondly, volunteering is also very important.

When I started volunteering in university, I did so out of passion for community development and technology.

Looking back, I learnt how to lead, communicate, develop software and organize myself.

Volunteering has also opened up my mind to issues affecting my community and opportunities for collaboration with others.

Thirdly, use the internet for professional and personal development.

Take courses online on an area in which you want to grow.

While most courses may be free, some require payment.

Fourth, develop a support system, including family, mentors, colleagues and friends.

My family has always been there for me from childhood, thereby giving me confidence to keep pushing forward.

I also have a mentor. Mentorship is very important, as you

will be guided and held accountable. I started an initiative known as STEM

Wahandisi La Femme, whose aim is to mentor young girls into engineering and technology to solve Sustainable Development Goal Number 5. (Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls)

On friends, surround yourself with people who make you grow.

Mr. Benson Kinyanjui Wairimu was on May 28, 2021 charged virtually and fined KShs.

120,000 for flouting the 50 kilograms potato-packaging regulations.

The trader was arrested on May 27, 2021 in Kipipiri Sub-County, carrying several bags of the produce, weighing over 50 kilograms in a Mitsubishi FH KBL 332S.

He was subsequently transferred to Naivasha GK Prison, awaiting payment of the fine or serving a one-year sentence.

The court ordered for release of the consignment and vehicle to the owner.

Nyandarua, Nakuru, Narok, Elgeyo Marakwet, Uasin Gishu and West Pokot counties are implementing the regulations in conjunction with the State

Department for Crop Development, Agriculture and Food Authority, National Potato Council of Kenya and the Agricultural Council of Kenya.

The potato sector in Kenya contributes directly to the livelihood of close to one million farmers and also indirectly supports close to 3.5 million value chain actors.

It is worth over KShs. 70 billion and has the potential to contribute over KShs. 200 billion to the economy.

Nyandarua is Kenya’s leading potato producer.

His Excellency Governor Francis Kimemia has directed all County Government officials to work closely with law enforcement agencies and the Judiciary to ensure full compliance with existing regulations, which were first enacted under his tenure.

Mfumo wa elimu nchini unatilia mkazo mafunzo mengine ambayo japo yamo nje ya masomo ya kawaida, yanahusiana na kwenda sambamba na masomo hayo ya kawaida. Vyama vya wanafunzi shuleni vinachangia pakubwa kupitisha mafunzo hayo ya ziada.Vyama vya wanafunzi hutofautiana kulingana na majukumu. Mathalani, vipo vyama vya kidini, vya kitaaluma na vya michezo. Pia, kuna vyama vya kijamii kama vile Chama cha Kupambana na Matumizi Mabaya ya Dawa na vya kiuchumi kama vile Chama cha Wakulima Chipukizi.Imedhihirika kwamba vyama vya wanafunzi vina manufaa ya kuhusdiwa. Hii ndiyo sababu shuleni, kila mwanafunzi anahimizwa kujiunga na angaa vyama viwili. Vyama vya wanafunzi huwasaidia kukuza vipawa na kuimarisha stadi za kujieleza. Haya hu� kiwa kupitia kwa shughuli za vyama kama vile ukariri wa mashairi, mijadala, utegaji na uteguaji vitendawili, chemsha bongo na ulumbi. Aidha, vyama hivi huhimiza utangamano wa kitafa na kimataifa hujengeka.Mwanafunzi ambaye amejiunga na vyama vya wanafunzi huweza kukabiliana na changamoto za maisha kwa urahisi kuliko yule ambaye hajawahi kujiunga na chama chochote. Katika vyama hivi, wanafunzi hufunzana mikakati na maarifa ya kutatua matatizo na mbinu za kuepuka mitego ya ujana. Kupitia kwa ushauri wa marika kwa mfano, mwanafunzi hushauriwa kuhusu masuala kama vile uteuzi wa mara� ki, kuratibu muda, kujikubali na kuwakubali wenzake.Hali kadhalika, mwanafunzi hujifunza maadili ya kijamii na kidini. Kupitia kwa vyama vya kidini na vinginevyo, yeye hujifunza kujistahi na kuwa na stahamata ya kidini, kiitikadi na kikabila. Kadhalika, majukumu ambayo mwanafunzi huenda akapewa hupalilia uwajibikaji, uaminifu na kipawa cha uongozi. Hata anapohitumu masomo yake, mwanafunzi huyu huendeleza sifa hizi.Vijana wana nafasi kubwa katika kukabiliana na maovu ya kijamii kwani wao ndio wengi zaidi. Kupitia kwa vyama hivi, wanafunzi wanaweza kuwahamasisha wenzao dhidi ya tabia hasi kama vile kushiriki mapenzi kiholela, ulanguzi wa dawa za kulevya na kujiingiza katika burudani zisizofaa. Pia, shughuli na miradi ya vyama hivi huwawezesha wanafunzi kutumia nishati zao kwa njia ya kujinufaisha na kuepuka maovu. Kwa mfano, wanaweza kwenda kukwea milima, kufanya matembezi ya kukusanya pesa za kuwafadhili wahitaji, kuendeleza shughuli za mazingira na kutembelea vituo vya mayatima na wazee.Kushiriki katika vyama vya michezo hakumwezeshi mwanafunzi kuimarisha afya na kujenga misuli tu mbali pia huweza kuwa msingi wa kupata chanzo cha riziki baadaye. Wapo wachezaji maarufu ambao walitambua na kuviendeleza vipawa vyao kupitia kwa vyama vya aina hii, na hivi sasa wana uwezo wa kuyaendesha maisha yao na ya familia zao. Ifahamike kuwa vyama vya wanafunzi vinapaswa kuwa msingi wa mshikamano na maradhiano. Visitumiwe kama vyombo vya kuwagawa wanafunzi kitabaka. Mwanafunzi hana budi kusawazisha muda anaotumia. Atenge muda wa shughuli za vyama na wa kudurusu masomo yake.

Siku hiyo jua lilichomoza mapema kuliko kawaida. Niliitazama miale yake kupitia kwenye dirisha la chumba changu. Rangi ya miale hii iliibua rnjadala moyoni mwangu.“Sijui kama macho yangu ndiyo yanayonipiga chenga, ila naona leo miale hii ina mabaka meusi yaliyotwaa wekundu wa damu,” moyo wangu ukasema. “Ingawa mimi si mnajimu wala mshirikina, nadhani rangi hii imefumbata kitendawili fulani,” moyo ulirudia kusema. Baada ya mawazo haya nilishusha pumzi ndefu na kusema, “Siku njema huonekana asubuhi, huenda hii ni dalili ya wema wenyewe”.Juu ya hayo mustakabali wa siku umo mikononi mwake aliyeiamrisha siku yenyewe kuwepo, binadamu ana hiari au usemi gani kuhusu yatakayokuwa au yatakayokosa kuwepo? Nilijikokota kutoka kitandani mwangu.Siku hii nilikuwa na miadi na ra ki yangu Tindi ambaye alihitaji kununua vifaa vya nyumbani.Ra ki huyu alikuwa kapata kazi ya uhasibu katika Shirika la Utozaji Ushuru baada ya kipindi cha kuhangaishwa na ulaji rushwa. Alikuwa anagura alikoishi na wazazi wake.Kama alivyosema, alitaka kuishi peke yake ili ajifunze kujitegemea. Tulikuwa tumepanga kukutana katika jengo moja la kibiashara ambamo mliuzwa aina nyingi za vifaa vya nyumbani.Nili ka kwenye jengo hilo baada ya saa moja na nusu. Nilimngojea ra ki yangu kwa takriban saa mbili ingawa alikuwa ameahidi ku ka mapema.Hata hivyo, kuchelewa huku hakukuwa ibra kwangu. “Vipi Bwana? Leo umezidi?" Nilimwuliza Tindi. “Samahani sana ndugu, ila wewe unajua katika mji wa Selea methali, ‘Chelewa chelewa utampata mwana si wako’, haiwezi kua ki.Hata mimi ukataka kuchapuka vipi, msongamano wa magari unakutilia vizingiti,” alijibu kama kawaida yake. Tulijitoma katika shughuli ya ununuzi. Mara, “Leta hiki,” mara, “Rudisha, hiki ni ghali mno,” mara, “Punguza bei.” Baada ya muda usiopungua saa tano na nusu, tulikuwa tumenunua vyote vilivyokuwa kwenye orodha yetu ya bidhaa. Gha�a taa za umeme zilizimika, mlio wa jenereta ukasikika, kisha mlipuko, na kiza cha kutisha. Mara nilisikia ukemi mkubwa uliopasua dari ya jengo hili. Ukemi huu ulifuatwa na sauti nene ya kiume, “Fungeni vishubaka vya pesa! Nenda kafunge mlango wa mbele na wa nyuma!” Wakati hayo yote yakijiri, jumba lilikuwa limekumbatiwa na moto wa tanuri.Joshi jeusi lilitanda kila mahali, vilio vya wateja waliokuwa wanatapatapa huku na huko kama kuku aliyedenguliwa shingo viliyaremba mandhari haya. Nilimshika Tindi mkono na kukimbilia mlango wa nyuma ambamo alisimama mlinda lango mmoja kuhakikisha hatubebi bidhaa yoyote; hata zile tulizokuwa tumelipia.Nilijaribu kumsihi atufungulie tutoke lakini akakataa katakata. Amri ya Bwana Mkubwa ilimzuia hata kuona hatari iliyomkabili yeye. Hatimaye nilifanikiwa kutumia misuli yangu kumwondoa, nikajishukuru kwa mazoezi ya viungo ambayo mimi hufanya kila siku.Mimi na Tindi tulifanikiwa kutoka nje bila majeraha ya haja. Ndani kule vilio vya roho zilizokuwa zikibanania kwenye mlango wa nyuma vilihanikiza. Bwana Mkubwa alikataa katakata kufungua mlango wa mbele; anaho a mali yake kukwepuliwa na wafu! Wapo walionusurika, wakapitia kwenye mlango huu, wapo waliosalimu amri ya moto, moshi, hewa yenye sumu na kubanwa na wenzao.Hata Shirika la Zimamoto lilipowasili baada ya saa nne, jengo hilo lilikuwa majivu pamoja na vyote vilivyokuwemo.Runinga ya Taifa usiku huo iliarifu kwamba hata mwenye jengo aliyesimama wenye mlango wa mbele kulinda mali yake dhidi ya roho zilizokuwa zinateketea aliaga dunia. 41.

By DAVID MACHARIA

Athletes based in Nyahururu continued with their training on Madaraka Day, despite the

day being a national holiday. The athletes said a break would

have interfered with their training programme which has specific set days.

A spot check on various grounds where the runners train revealed a beehive of activities as they did various work outs, including speed work and endurance.

The World Under-20 5000m silver medalist, Stanley Waithaka, one of

the runners gunning for a place in the national athletics team to the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan was among runners doing endurance work out in a loop at Kibathi village under the watch of coaches Francis Kamau and Daniel Njenga.

Waithaka and his group, that included women, did five laps on the 2.2km loop road around the settlement.

He has not raced competitively since 2019 due to surgery to treat tonsils and the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic that disrupted competitions globally.

Waithaka ran a world leading time in 10,000m during the Nippon Sports Science University long distance competition in Japan in April, thus earning a place in the Kenyan Olympic trials set for June 17 to 19 at Kasarani Stadium, Nairobi.

Competing for Japanese side, Yakult corporate team, Waithaka chalked up the victory in 27:19.16, which was within Olympic qualifying time of 27:28.

Waithaka has said he is confident his stay in Japan will play a major role as he seeks to represent Kenya in 10,000m at the Olympic Games set

for this summer. The delayed Games are set to kick

off on July 23 till August 8 in the Japanese capital, Tokyo.

The 21-year-old has a personal best of 27:13.01, set in 2018.

“We were anxious when he had not hit the qualifying time, but now we can train with confidence,” one of Waithaka’s coaches in Nyahururu, Njenga, said.

At the Nyahururu Stadium, among those who did their speed work on the murram track in the morning was Monica Wangare, who hopes to get America travel visa to

race in the New York City Mini 10K road race set for June 12.

Other Kenyans in the race are Ednah Kiplagat, Viola Cheptoo and Grace Kahura.

Several Ethiopians and Americans are also in the competition.

“We (her and her manager) are pushing to get special embassy appointment for the visa. I hope I will be able to travel,” Wangare said after her speed work.

Ten years later, athlete Samuel Wanjiru’s family focuses on inquest By STEVE NJUGUNA

The tenth anniversary of the death of Olympic marathon champion

Samuel Kamau Wanjiru went by without much activity.

Wanjiru is said to have died after falling from the balcony of his home in Muthaiga Estate, Nyahururu, on May 15, 2011.

In October, 2015 a multi-million shilling emergency unit at the Nyahururu County Referral hospital was built in his honour through the partnership of the national government and Laikipia County.

The idea for the medical facility came after the athlete died at the hospital as doctors made frantic efforts to save his life.

No visitsPreviously, hundreds of

people would visit the grave in Nyandarua West to celebrate the life of the Olympics marathon record holder and

two-time Chicago Marathon winner.

Fellow athletes would also organise road activities in his honour.

It was different this year as not even family members laid flowers at his mausoleum.

A visit to Equator in Nyandarua West, where the Olympian was buried and a mausoleum built, found the compound deserted and just an empty zero-grazing structure standing conspicuously next to the mausoleum.

“It is Wanjiru’s only brother Simon Njoroge and his wife who live here. We did not have any activities, not even his wife who frequents the home around this month visited,” said a neighbour.

Mr Peter Maina, another neighbour, said Wanjiru’s aging mother, who had been visiting the gravesite, was also absent.

Solomon Wachira, a former athlete, told the Nation that an annual event was stopped due

to poor organisation and management. Death inquest

Wanjiru’s mother Hanna Wanjiru and his widow Triza Njeri said they were focused on the death inquest taking place at a Nairobi court.

The inquest that has taken almost eight years so far, with the hearings now postponed to August.

The hearings opened on

January 9, 2013 at the Milimani Law Courts after a Nyahururu court allowed an application by Ms Wanjiru for the inquest to take place in Nairobi as per orders of the High Court in Nakuru.

Wanjiru was born on November 10, 1986 and specialised in long distance running, going professional at the age of 18.

He broke several records including the Olympic marathon, at which he clocked 2:06.32.

While winning in London and twice in

Chicago, he recorded the fastest marathon run ever in the United Kingdom and the United States, respectively.

He also won Kenyan’s first Olympic marathon gold in record time in games held in Beijing, China, in 2008.
