    Ruto continues purge as he fires 15 Uhuru’s appointees

    Ruto makes a significant shake-up in the state corporations’ leadership as he fires Uhuru’s appointees.

    In an effort to reform the government and fill positions with people who share his goals, President William Ruto has continued to oust Uhuru Kenyatta’s loyalists from a number of parastatals.

    The President of State revoked the nomination of Prof. Fredrick Owino and appointed former Sylvanus Maritim to serve as non-executive chairperson of the Information and Communications Technologies Authority for a three-year term in a Gazette notice dated February 24.

    Mr. Maritim lost to Benjamin Lang’at during the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) nominations of April 2022.

    Ruto has also canceled the appointment of Wanjiku Wakogi as the Secretary State Corporations Advisory Committee (SCAC), with Muyumba Simmon Indimuli taking over for a period of three years.

    Ms. Wakogi was last week appointed to be a member of the technical committee which is the second tier of the presidential task force set to establish a National Lottery to oversee structures and systems in the country’s gaming industry.

    Ruto has also made changes in the Capital Market Authority (CMA), firing Nick Nesbitt who was appointed by Uhuru Kenyatta to bring Ugas Mohamed on board as chairperson.

    The CMA has also gotten new board members with the exit of John Kipkosgei Birech, Freshia Mugo Waweru, Mark Bichachi, Eli Kamau, and Peter Mungai. 

    They have been replaced by Natasha Awuor Aduwo,

    Elena Natalia Pellegrini, Meshack Moses Kiprono, Gibson Kimani Maina, and Michael Bowen.

    Noticeable in the latest State appointments are the chairperson of Talai Council of Elders, Reverend James Bassy, who led Ruto’s coronation as the political kingpin of Kalenjins instead of Kanu chairman Gideon Moi. 

    There is also John Seii, former chairperson of the Myoot Council of Elders.

    The two have been appointed as members of the Kenya Cultural Centre Council for a period of two years.

    Other Parastatals whose boards have been shaken up include the Communication Authority of Kenya (CA), where ICT Cabinet Secretary Eliud Owalo has revoked the appointments of Mahmoud Mohamed Noor, Paul Muraguri Mureithi, Jackson Kiprotich Kemboi, and Laura Chite and replaced them with Bhoke Christine Nchama, Esther Njoki Njoroge, Mgeni Mboto Hassan, Joel Nyambane Okengo, Eric Langat, Alex Wafula Wamalwa and Nicholas Kamuya Ng’arua.

    The National Campaign Against Drug Abuse Authority (Nacada) has not been left out of the shake-up, with former Emgwen MP Elijah Lagat appointed a member alongside Ali Swaleh Nyamai, Ann Njeri Mathu, Fredrick Ngugi, and Lucia Nzoongo leading to the firing of John K. Cheruiyot, Alice Wanjira Mutuma and George Ogalo.

    Ukraine donates 25000 metric tonnes of wheat to Kenya

    Kenya is set to receive a donation of 25000 metric tonnes of wheat from Ukraine within the next month, a Ukrainian official has said.

    Ukraine Ambassador to Kenya, Andri Pravednyk said Thursday in an interview with Capital FM News, that the loading of the ship destined for Mombasa at the port of Chornomorsk, east of Odesa is now in its final stages.

    The Ukrainian envoy pointed out that if everything goes according to plan the ship will set sail from Ukraine to Kenya Friday, 24, April the morning.

    “If everything goes smoothly, the ship will arrive at the port of Mombasa not later than the end of March. That will be our contribution to all those Kenyans affected by the serious drought in the North of Kenya,” he said.

    The aid according to Ambassador Pravednyk is part of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s “Grain from Ukraine” initiative announced in November last year while delivering his speech at the G20 Summit.

    The initiative involves a humanitarian assistance program that provides part of the Ukrainian grain that is exported through the Black Sea Grain Initiative to countries affected by food insecurity.

    Ambassador Pravednyk stated that he is well aware of the suffering of Kenyans living in drought-hit counties as a result of food shortage.

    “Critics might say that it is only 25000 tons of grain, but I am still convinced that although it is not a huge amount of grain, it will definitely help alleviate the suffering of those Kenyans living in areas affected by drought,” he added.

    He thanked the Turkish government and the United Nations for brokering the deal that led to the creation of the Joint Coordination Centre (JCC) which has facilitated the implementation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative.

    The JCC comprises representatives of Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, and the United Nations.

    He noted that at the early stages of the war, Russia blocked ports in Ukraine and prevented them from exporting grain out of the country, until the deal was reached.

    Despite the ongoing conflict, Pravednyk reassured that President Zelenskyy’s administration will continue supporting its allies whenever possible.

    Ruto announces removal of all taxes on cooking gas

    Ruto announces the removal of all taxes on cooking gas (Liquefied Petroleum-LPG) in a bid to lower the cost of living.

    In a notice to the Ministry of Treasury, President William Ruto on Friday, February 24, stated that he will soon remove all taxes on Liquefied Petroleum (LPG) gas. 

    The President stated at Dongo Kundu that the Kenya Kwanza Government is working on a comprehensive plan to guarantee that local cooking gas is made accessible and inexpensive.

    “In the next three years, all Kenyan houses will have cooking gas which is way affordable,” President Ruto promised. 

    “We are going to remove all taxes that are currently being levied on cooking gas so that we can make sure that every household in the Republic of Kenya has access to affordable LPG and we eliminate the wood fuel,” Ruto stated. 

    At the same time, Ruto ordered top managers at the Kenya Pipeline Company Limited (KPC) to expand local terminal storage capacity of LPG gas to provide reservoirs for cheaper LPG gas from Tanzania. 

    Ruto spoke while launching the construction of the Taifa Gas LPG terminal in Mombasa. 

    The project that is aimed at lowering the cost of cooking gas in Kenya will see an increase in capacity from 30,000 tonnes to 45,000 tonnes of LPG gas. 

    “I have ordered these officials to ensure that we have enough local capacity to store and process this gas in order to save our mothers from dangerous biomass cooking,” Ruto noted.

    The President explained that he expects government institutions, including secondary schools, to transition from biomass to LPG gas. 

    “By 2025, we expect all our schools and other institutions to have put in place mechanisms that ensure a modern way of cooking by cooking gas,” Ruto further directed. 

    Taifa Gas is Tanzania’s largest LPG supply company in East Africa, with Kenya being one of its largest markets, yet the LPL was all along being transported by road. 

    Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) data shows that Kenya imported 240,000 tons of LPG in 2022, up from 180,000 tons in 2021.

    ERC data also indicates that, while many consumers have been put off by the high cost, LPG demand has been steadily increasing as more households switch from charcoal, firewood and kerosene to gas.

  • Government turns down KSh41bn university funding request

    Government turns down KSh41bn university funding request

    Government turns down KSh41bn university funding request amid a fee-hike proposal that will see tuition fees.

    The government has turned down Sh41.6 billion in funding requests from Public universities and the Higher Education Loans Board (Helb).

    Public universities and Helb, which have recently attributed their underperformance to underfunding, requested a total of Sh144.6 billion from the National Treasury for the upcoming fiscal year beginning in July but were only given Sh103 billion, according to an analysis of official statistics.

    Due to the Sh41.6 billion shortfall that was left among the 39 public universities, staff layoffs will be necessary as the cash-strapped institutions are forced to eliminate various expenses, including some courses.

    This deficit is wider than the current one for Financial Year 2022/23 of Sh27.9 billion, pointing to a trend where the government has not been able to keep up with the growing funding needs of public universities.

    Public universities had a funding requirement of Sh71.9 billion in the current Financial Year ending June but were only allocated Sh44 billion, according to official data.

    Kenyatta University had the largest deficit at Sh10 billion after its demand of Sh19.7 billion was slashed by more than half.

    The National Treasury has only allocated it Sh9.65 billion, which is under half of what the university had demanded.

    Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) did not get Sh2.5 billion out of the Sh9 billion that it required.

    The Technical University of Kenya had a deficit of Sh2.2 billion, Egerton University (Sh1.8 billion), Kaimosi University (Sh1.36 billion), and Karatina University (Sh1.35 billion).

    The Technical University of Mombasa had a deficit of Sh1.3 billion, Maseno University (Sh1.1 billion) and Moi University (Sh1 billion).

    Nearly all the colleges did not have their wishes met, except for Co-operative University and Garissa University.

    Co-operative University surpassed their requirements by Sh20 million while Garissa University was allocated their spending needs of Sh701 million.

    “The growing deficits only mean that the pending bills will continue to grow, thereby worsening the current problems. Unless the problem is addressed as a matter of urgency, our universities will face difficulties existing as going concerns,” said Education Cabinet secretary Ezekiel Machogu.

    Mr Machogu was speaking during the opening of the first biennial Kenya Universities Funding Conference that was held on Thursday in Mombasa.

    He acknowledged that public universities have challenges with a debt of Sh56 billion in the form of unremitted staff pensions and statutory deductions such as pay-as-you-earn (PAYE).

    Helb, which supplements the 80 per cent that State-sponsored students receive, saw close to Sh9.8 billion of its request rejected with the exchequer only approving an allocation of Sh17.8 billion to the students’ loan body.

    Helb, which has been looking for alternative ways of raising funds even as it aggressively goes after defaulters, had requested Sh27.6 billion from the exchequer.

    Revealed! Ruto forced KRA boss, Githii Mburu to resign

    KRA boss, Githii Mburu was forced to resign as a result of an unfriendly working environment under the Ruto administration.

    In the midst of a new shake-up of the Kenya Revenue Authority, an antagonistic new administration and a board led by an assertive chairman drove Githii Mburu to terminate his new five-year term early.

    The KRA board replaced three of the seven managers on the agency’s senior executive team after Mr. Mburu opted to leave on Thursday, less than eight months into his new tenure.

    President William Ruto has never been silent about his disgust with the KRA’s prior harsh crackdown on the wealthy in an effort to recoup unpaid taxes and boost national income.

    During his campaigns for the August 9 election, Ruto claimed that his close allies were targeted for political persecution or were being intimidated so that they could abandon him.

    According to sources close to former KRA boss, Githii Mburu, he chose to go rather than wait to be fired by a board that wanted the KRA’s activities to change course.

    Also, he did not like the way the new chairman, Anthony Nganga Mwaura, operated the KRA. 

    Mwaura is a close friend of the President and is known in Kenyan business circles as the “Executive Chairman.”

    Francis Muthaura, Mr. Mwaura’s predecessor, preferred to operate in the background, but Mr. Mwaura preferred to be out in the open.

    Francis Muthaura, Mr. Mwaura’s predecessor, preferred to operate in the background, but Mr. Mwaura preferred to be out in the open.

    “The regime and the board were unfriendly. With changes in government, he actually wanted to leave. It has actually taken longer than was expected,” said a source close to Mr. Mburu who sought anonymity.

    Mr. Mwaura was appointed chairman in November in changes that also saw the appointment of five new directors on January 12, leaving only State representatives.

    He came into the limelight in 2020 when his companies, Hardi Enterprises, and Toddy Civil Engineering Company, were implicated in a City Hall scandal for allegedly receiving irregular payments amounting to Sh102 million.

  • Bitting hunger as starving parents sneak into schools for free lunch

    Bitting hunger as starving parents sneak into schools for free lunch

    Starving parents from drought;/hunger-hit areas in Kajiado County have resorted to sneaking into nearby schools for free lunch.

    It has become a trend for parents to sneak into nearby schools during lunch hour and queue with learners for a meal to tame their hunger pangs.

    Most of these parents and the elderly have been left vulnerable after losing their livestock to the drought, relying only on relief food.

    According to a publication by Daily Nation, starving parents often sit near the main gate waiting for the lunch hour.

    They usually line up calmly with the learners, some of them their grandchildren, for Githeri – a mixture of beans and maize – commonly served as lunch in learning institutions.

    Daniel Lantai, Headteacher at Ilbisil boarding Primary School in Kajiado Central says the school administration always allows parents to join the queues.

    “Each day we have parents who gamble to get lunch from the school. We understand their plight back home so we cannot push them away,” Mr. Lantai said, adding that some parents have been approaching the school directly to beg for food.

    However, he said it’s a risky balancing act considering most parents are unable to pay school fees, meaning the learning institution has been hit hard amid the drought.

    “The school management has opted to provide lunch for day scholars. We fear our food reserve will not last the whole term. Most parents are unable to pay the school fees,” he said.

    To survive, some parents scramble for bad maize and beans from where the school stores grains.

    “The unwanted grain will ensure a meal for my family in the evening. It’s not about quality food. It’s about having something to feed our children,” one parent said.

    Recent data from the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) shows more than 400,000 families are facing starvation and that more than a million animals have died in Kajiado County.

    Senate initiates investigations over high electricity prices

    Senate initiates investigations on independent power contractors over high electricity prices in a bid to lower charges.

    Through Order Paper No 006, the Senate resolved that Standing Committee on Energy undertake an inquiry into contracts signed by Independent Power Producers (IPPs).

    The process is aimed at cushioning Kenyans from high electricity prices amid harsh economic times.

    The establishment of inquiry was formed after the revelation that IPPs were producing less electricity to the national grid while charging exorbitantly for the same.

    “Private power generating companies only supply 28 percent of power to Kenya Power but account for 47 percent of power purchase costs,” the Order Paper stated.

    Due to this discrepancy, the Senate resolved there was a need for an investigation so as to enhance energy management in Kenya.

    “The committee will investigate contracts signed by IPPs, detailing the cost, capacity, and duration of the contractual agreements and their implications on the affordability of electricity in the country,” the Order Paper detailed the scope of the inquiry.

    The committee on energy will further be mandated to look at the discrepancies in the cost of electricity sold to Kenya Power by KenGen, imports from Ethiopia, and IPPs.

    Marsabit and Samburu counties will also be able to increase electricity connectivity after the Senate resolved to investigate electricity generated by Lake Turkana.

    This was after it was revealed that the electricity was diverted to the national grid and bypassing the two counties.

    The Senate further put to task the Ministry of Energy to come up with a policy framework dealing with costs and clean energy.

    “The policy framework should detail a plan on lowering the cost of electricity as a way of addressing the high cost of living.

    “It should also look at enhancing clean energy by switching to renewable sources of energy such as geothermal power, and wind energy, among others as a way of reducing the carbon footprint,” the Order Paper mandated.

    The motion to reduce electricity prices was tabled to the Senate by Marsabit Senator Mohamed Chute.

    UK while blaming China refutes claims of dumping used clothes (Mitumba) in Kenya

    UK refutes claims of dumping used clothes (Mitumba) in Kenya as it blames China for large quantities.

    Textile Recycling Association (TRA) of the United Kingdom (UK) has denied claims that the country shipped substantial amounts of worn clothing to Kenya as waste.

    The UK is no longer a big source of old clothing in Kenya, according to TRA Chief Executive Officer Alan Wheeler in an interview with Material Recycling World (MRW), a UK news publication on recycling.

    According to Wheeler, Kenya only received 7,328,000 kilos of recycled clothing in 2021, and China was the major supplier of the material.

    Moreover, Wheeler highlighted that China delivered up to 78,575,000 kg of recycled clothes to Kenya comparable to up to 43 percent of all worn clothing received in the country.

    Further defending the textile recycling companies in the UK, the CEO stated that recycling used clothing was 70 times better for the environment than purchasing new ones.

    “TRA members lead the way in promoting sustainable practices that ensure good quality items are traded globally.

    “We adhere to some of the world’s most stringent requirements, such as fumigation of shipped items for the Kenyan market and physical inspection by an inspector at the point of loading,” Wheeler stated.

    Moreover, he added that the clothing and textile industry was responsible for 8 to 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions compared to the aviation and maritime industry combined.

    “The global clothing reuse industry is beneficial to the environment. Additionally, it employs tens of millions of people,” added Wheeler.

    The response comes after an investigation by Clean Up Kenya, and Wildlight for the Changing Markets Foundation (CMF) revealed that the items sent to Kenya are made of poor materials, such as polyester and nylon, that can not be reused or mended.

    The CEO asked publishers of the Transition report, which originally published the findings, to submit evidence of their claims if there was a specific problem with the UK. 

    The report detailed that about 36 million mitumba items are shipped to Kenya from the UK every year terming the high numbers as the loophole in a 2019 legal agreement stopping richer countries from dumping non-recyclable plastic waste to less wealthy ones.

    UK responds to sexual harassment of workers in Kenyan tea farms

    UK government responds to sexual harassment of workers in Kenyan tea farms calling for thorough investigations.

    Through the British High Commissioner to Kenya Jane Marriott, the United Kingdom on Wednesday, February 22, warned that the country considers sexual exploitation a serious offence.  

    The statement by the UK government comes after the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on Monday, February 20, 2023, released a documentary detailing the sexual exploitation clique of male bosses who targeted female workers at UK tea firms operating in the country.

    “Sexual abuse and exploitation has no place in society,” she warned while asking the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to get to the bottom of the matter.

    Marriott urged the companies concerned to protect their workers and cooperate with the police in ensuring that the suspects are brought to book. 

    “I am concerned by the allegations of appalling behavior made in this documentary – sexual abuse and exploitation has no place in society.

    “I welcome the commitment by the companies to investigate, cooperate with the Kenyan authorities, and take action to protect staff in Kenya,” Jane Marriott noted.

    “We have terminated our agreement with John Chebochok’s company Sislo Holdings. All 300 contractors who were working with us through Sislo have been offered direct employment to ensure their livelihoods are not affected – 98 percent have accepted,” noted the firm in a statement.

    James Finlay explained the fired employees were not allowed to return to the company without legal provisions of the land. 

    “We have also suspended John Asava. Both individuals have been barred from entering James Finlay Kenya,” James Finlay noted.

  • Ruto, Gachagua office spends KSh9 billion in seven months

    Ruto, Gachagua office spends KSh9 billion in seven months

    Ruto, Gachagua office spends KSh9 billion in seven months despite austerity measures to cut public expenditure.

    According to official figures, President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua have exceeded their full-year budget in just seven months, despite austerity measures intended to buck a historical practice of borrowing to support government operations.

    According to the most recent information made public by Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u, the Executive Office of the President spent Sh9.09 billion from January through December compared to the initial projection of Sh8.64 billion for the entire year.

    This amounts to a spending excess of Sh450.11 million, or 5.21 percent, of the initial 12-month budget for the Presidency that the previous administration drafted.

    The additional expenditure has already been tabled in the House via a supplementary budget under the law that requires MPs to approve spending that lacked a parliamentary nod within two months.

    According to the mini-budget, Prof. Ndung’u has suggested raising the budget for the Executive Office of the President by Sh5.18 billion, or 59.89 percent, to Sh13.83 billion from the original estimates.

    The budget for the State House has jumped from the Sh4.37 billion allowed under former President Uhuru Kenyatta to Sh8.85 billion, and Mr. Gachagua’s office expenses have climbed from Sh914.25 million to Sh2.63 billion.

    The Deputy President has also been added a separate budget of Sh450.85 million outside the Presidency, according to the supplementary estimates before the House.

    The over-expenditure by the Office of the President came in the period Ruto directed the Treasury to cut the budget for running the government by as much as Sh300 billion in measures aimed at bringing “our country to sanity” where the State does not borrow to “finance recurrent expenditure”.

    Ruto also said he aimed to bring the recurrent expenditure down further next year by an undisclosed amount, in a bid to achieve a recurrent budget surplus by the third year.

    Recurrent expenditure usually includes civil servants’ salaries, travel, and refreshment as well as fuel costs for the government’s fleet of vehicles.

    The Treasury data show the recurrent expenditure by the Presidency for the seven-month period was 12.47 percent, or Sh931 million, more than Sh7.47 billion spent by the previous administration a year ago.

    The biggest jump in recurrent expenditure for the country’s most powerful office was in December when some Sh2.19 billion was withdrawn from the exchequer against a monthly average for the period of Sh1.2 billion.
