Lack lustre Manchester United in third defeat of the season
Manchester united recorded a terrific 3-1 loss away at West Ham, in London, on Saturday afternoon in an English Premier League clash.
The win handed West Ham their first ever win at home, this season.
It is West Ham who drew first blood in the fifth minute via Felipe Anderson. Anderson flicked past De Gea after a low cross from Zabaleta!
The lack lustre united squad found themselves, two goals down with to minutes to the break. Andriy Yarmolenko’s shot was deflected into the net by Manchester united’s defender, Lindelof, in the 43rd minute for an own goal. The game went into the break with West Ham two goals up.
West Ham’s Marco Arnautovic completed the route by striding through on goal and coolly slotting home in the 74th minute.
Manchester United’s consolation came in through Marcus Rashford who brilliantly sent a back-heel flick into the net for a 2-1score line in the 71st minute.
It was another pretty frustrating game for Manchester’s Romelu Lukaku who mustered just three touches inside West Ham’s area in the f
Manchester now lie 7th in the log with 10 points from 6 matches.
Jose Mourinho made four changes to the Manchester United side that drew with Wolves last weekend, as Ashley Young, Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial earn starts.
Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard were absent from the squad completely, as Marcus Rashford returned from suspension to take a place on the bench.
Three back-to-back victories had seemed to bring Manchester United back on track but troubles in the dressing room have started to pour out of control.
Amid poor relationships between Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho, United were held to a disappointing 1-1 at home to new boys Wolves and were then knocked out of the Carabao Cup in a penalty shootout to Championship side Derby.
The under fire Manchester United boss had this to say on his team’s overall performance, today: “I can have complaints with quality and mental approach. You have to try always and that is my nature as a football professional.”

Video: DP Ruto changes stand, promises to support push for a referendum
Deputy president, Hon. William Ruto, has dropped his hard-line stance against the Referendum push and now says he will support the Constitutional changes. Speaking today ,at Kigugua in Tharaka Nithi County, the DP said he is not scared of the referendum and challenged Hon.

The DP who was in the company of a section of Central leaders led a fundraiser for the local Kenya National Union of Teachers, KNUT, to purchase a branch bus. The Deputy President who has been seen criticizing the Constitutional review, spear headed by Raila Odinga’s led Orange Democratic Movement, now says that he will support the changes if only they are to benefit common ‘Mwananchi’ (Citizen).
The Deputy President contributed a sum total of KShs. 2 million at today’s fundraiser.

KNUT to collect data for teachers with higher qualifications ahead of Friday’s meeting with TSC
Indeed, Kenyans are tired with the ballooned wage bill, taxes, high costs of living and grand corruption!
With the government recently increasing and introducing new taxes, common Mwananchi is feeling the heat. From increased costs of living and taxes to spiraling corruption, the angry Kenyans cannot hold back their feelings any more! We sample some of the comments as posted by Kenyans on various social media platforms:
CALLS TO REDUCE NUMBER OF LEGISLATORS:
Most Kenyans feels that the number of legislators is over exaggerated and are giving various proposals on reducing the numbers:
1. @sabasmagige:
My take on this #WanjikuReferendum .First things first
1. Scrap anything by the name of NOMINATED.
2. Scrap off the WomenRep, MCAs and MPs Position- They are good for nothing really.
3. Remain with 47 senators
4. Do away with 47 governors and remain with the former 8 provinces
2. @migunamiguna says:
Dishonest, hypocritical and cowardly Kenyans must know that a country cannot grow and prosper with the kind of stupidity and permanent lies being peddled in the mainstream and social media. All our so-called leaders are organised criminals. Let’s deal with that once and for all.
3. @benjindolo says:
Magufuli is in New York with a delegation of 7 guys, Uhuru is in NY with a delegation of 70. He likes to ask, mjinga ni nani?
4. @pilycarphinga Proposes:
- 8 counties with 8 governors
- 8 Deputy Governors with defined duties.
- 0 Senators
- 0 Women reps
- 210 MPs (Members of parliament)
- Less than 1000 MCAs (Members of County Assemblies)
- 0 Nominated leaders in all levels .
- alternatively, 47 governors, no senators, 47 mps, 210 mcas, no women rep, no nominated seats. 8 Cabinet Secretaries and merged parastatals.
5. @kenny_jameson:
That’s the referendum we want. Kenya is so small for 47 Governors. We also ask for scrapping of county assemblies and reduce the numbed of MPs to 290 plus 35 nominated MPs, senators to be 10 and scrap the women representatives’ seat.
6. @polycarphinga:
We should set salaries for the positions we retain, eg Governor: 300k, MP: 200KShs, MCA: 70Kshs and make sure these people know the salaries they are vying to get.
There way too many Wanjikus (Common Kenyans) and their sons out here who can do the job for much less than we are paying.
7. @lazooj is of the opinion:
- 0 MCA
- 0 Mps
- 0 Women Reps
- 8 Governors
- 8 Deputies
- 47 senators
- 10 Ministries
- Life imprisonment for Any corrupt individual No Bail in such a case.
- Rotational presidency
- 1 term presidency(4 years’ term limit)
- Mid term election every 2 years
ON GRAND CORRUPTION
Gutted Kenyans have this to say:
1. @elijah1334:
Uhuru this, Uhuru that! This is useless. The Kenyans who President Uhuru Kenyatta has chosen to lead in various positions are the ones misleading us.. Check how various ministries are pilfering finances! Kenyans, your fellows are eating you. Open your eyes.
2. @nyandiga001 says:
We could reduce the counties from 47 to 8 but if we have 8 governors operating like Ruto then we shall not have solved the problem. The problem is corruption not governance structure
3.Kenyan budget in summary
- 30% corruption
- 30%wage bill
- 30% Chinese and other loans repayment
- 10%development. Wasee tujiangalie (guys, let us review our choices)
4. @Koigi wa Wamwere:
Those blaming the constitution for our economic headwinds are being economical with the truth! currently, less than 15% of the last audited accounts is what is being given to the counties. Our problem is reckless borrowing and grand theft!
The Third Way Alliance is pushing for Constitutional review, ostensibly, to reduce the number of legislators. Will it see the light of day or will the politicians block it. For now it is a wait and see scenario as Kenyans struggle with hard economic times!

No joy riding trips for MCAs, County Executives as Devolution Ministry spells out tough rules, governors oppose move
The Ministry of Devolution and Arid and semi ASAL areas has introduced stringent rules to cut on unnecessary travel expenses by Members of County Assemblies, MCAs, and County Executives. The ministry through the Principal Secretary, PS, Charles Sunkuli wrote to all county secretaries and clerks of county assemblies giving new directives on how to cut foreign travel costs. The raft of measures introduced by the Ministry include:
- A written statement must be produced: The ministry says before MCAs or county executives travel abroad for seminars, tours or conferences, they must write a statement on how that travel will benefit the county. The statement must detail the cost benefit analysis for such trips.
- Proof of County assembly minutes ratifying the trip: The travelling team must also provide minutes of a county assembly session that gave green light to such trip.
- No participation fee to be paid in case trip is arranged to non- recognized organizations: The Ministry has also said no travel should be approved where participants are required to pay participation fees unless such events are recognized by international bodies. In case the bodies are not recognized, internationally, the MCAs and Executives must then, personally, foot for their expenses.
- Travelling team must provide approved invitation letters before permission is granted: The Ministry has also directed that before foreign travel is approved and permission granted, the MCAs or County Executives must have the invitation letters stamped and approved by the county assembly clerk or county secretary.
- The members will be required to the total costs to be incurred and the source of the monies: For the travel to be approved, the travelling legion must provide the total expenses and a break down of charges for the trip. it shall now, also, be mandatory for the MCAs and Executives to indicate who shall pay for such trips.
- Travelling team will be required to provide proof of where the trip was budgeted for in the County’s Work plan: It shall be mandatory for the members to show where in the county’s work plan the foreign travel was budgeted for.
- No joy riders and revelers: To discourage joyrides the team must give a report on what they learnt and how that will be implemented locally for economic boos.
This comes after top government officers were caugth on camera sitting pensively and passively as their foreign counter parts wrote key points during a trip by president uhuru Kenyatta, few months ago.
But, in a letter signed by the Council of governors’ chairman, Hon. Josphat Nanok, and addressed to all governors and the Devolution CS, the Head of Public Service, and Foreign Affairs PS, the Governors have angrily castigated this latest move. A summary of the Governors’ response:
- The Governors hold that County Governments are autonomous and are not answerable to any Ministry or individuals.
- County budgets are approved by county assemblies (MCAs) and the devolution Ministry has no role to play in such a process.
- The devolution Ministry has no mandate to interrogate Counties’ requests for travels, over seas.
The governors have asked the Devolution and ASALs Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Eugene L. Wamalwa, to immediately withdraw the letter on foreign travel.
The foreign trips by MCAs and County Executives had drawn mixed reactions from Kenyans, with most terming them wasteful and unnecessary.

Harambee Stars’ AFCON qualifier updates: Sonko offers 150 buses, government scraps gate charges, Wanyama in passionate appeal
Nairobi County Governor, Hon Mike Sonko, has offered 150 buses to ferry fans to watch the Harambee stars versus Ethiopia African Cup Of Nations, AFCON, clash on Sunday 14 october 2018. Through a press statement, Hon. Sonko says: “The decision was reached following the national government ‘s decision to allow Kenyans to watch the Sunday game (October 14, 2018) free of charge.” The presser, dated 11/10/2018, was written by Mr. Elkana Jacob, the Director of the Governor’s Press Service.
Earlier, today, the Ministry of Sports announced that there shall be no gate charges for the all important clash, on Sunday. Kenya will book a ticket to next year’s AFCON finals if they beat the Ethiopians, on Sunday. Governor Sonko’s gesture ‘is in a bid to support Sports culture in the country and ensure Kenyans are able to cheer their team to win the match against Ethiopia’.
The security sector should now come up with elaborate plans and measures to prevent crowd trouble due to inflated numbers of Kenyans expected to throng the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, on Sunday. Elsewhere, the Harambee Stars Kipper, Victor Wanyama, has passionately rallied Kenyans to come out in masses to support the local boys. He says if Kenyans create an atmosphere like that witnessed in Ethiopia for their team, on Wednesday, then the Stars will definately carry the maximum points from Sunday’s match.

HOW THE FIFA/COCA-COLA WORLD RANKING IS DONE
General Considerations
In the FIFA Women’s World Ranking (WWR) teams are ranked according to a value that is a measure of their actual strength. One of the benefits of this is that a considerable amount can be learned about the ranking value (or rating points) of a team.
Reasons for FIFA Women’s World Ranking
- Promotion of the Women’s Game
- Realistic Assessment: Putting Everyone in their Place
- Statistical Analysis of the state of the Women’s Game
- Equal Importance of Women’s and Men’s Football
- Solid foundation: some 3000 games since 1971
Although a certain amount of mathematics is inevitable, the system used is still easily understandable and enables all interested parties to understand the teams’ movements, or even to calculate the Ranking themselves. Since the first match dates back to a little over 30 years ago (the first women’s international was held on 17 April 1971 when France faced the Netherlands), it has been possible to comprehensively catalogue the data about international women’s football.
FIFA Women’s World Ranking – Key Criteria Used
- Result of the Match
- Home vs away, or neutral ground
- Importance of the match
- Difference in WWR between the teams
Basics of the Ranking method
The basic formula of the WWR is in fact quite simple:
WWR,new = WWR,old + ( Actual – Predicted )
The result of a team’s match is converted into a value: “Actual”. Via some formulae, the difference in rating points (strength) results in a “Predicted” value.
Should the “Actual” value be better, then the new WWR will be higher than the old one. This is fair, as the team will have delivered more than was expected. The underachiever loses the same amount of rating points as their opponents have won; their “Predicted” result is greater than their “Actual” result, i.e. they have not done as well as expected.
A conclusion that can be drawn for this basic rule is that the rating points which a team earns for a win is dependent on the strength of the opponent. A win over an extremely weak team scarcely improves their standing in the WWR, while a win over a stronger team is awarded with a clear increase of the WWR value.
- Actual Result of the Match
The actual match result is expressed in the “Actual Match Percentage”, A.
Of course winning or losing is the most important criterion, but goal difference and goals scored are also taken into account.
2. Neutral ground or Home vs. Away
To correct the value for a home advantage, the rating points of the Home team are enhanced by a value “H”. A glance at the historical results shows that teams perform better at home than away; the home teams keep 66% of the points, while the opponents return home with 34%. To neutralise this effect, a correction is made by enhancing the rating of the home team by a value of 100 points (corresponding to 64%).
3. Importance of the match
Competitive matches are a more precise measure of the strength of a team than a friendly.
This element is taken into account by introducing the Match Importance “M” factor, which has a maximum difference between competitions of a factor of four.
4. Difference in Rating Points
The difference in rating points between the two opponents is used to predict the result of the match. For each team the predicted match percentage “P” is expressed in a value between 0 and 1 as a function of the difference in rating points.
The scale of the rating points is chosen in such a way that the very best in the world can have rating points exceeding 2000, while absolute beginners score around 1000 rating points.

You are under keen surveillance, CS Amina tells Centre managers, Supervisors, Invigilators as 17 are nabbed at Monianku secondary
The Education cabinet Secretary, Dr. Amina Mohammed, has sent a strong warning to any one who may attempt to compromise this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education Examinations, that kicked off yesterday. The CS, who was speaking after supervising the start of English paper one examinations at Murang’a boys high school this morning, said the government has put in place stringent measures to safeguard the credibility of the National tests.
“The Government has put in place careful and extensive measures to ensure that the outcome of these examinations is a true reflection of the effort and hard work of our candidates,” Dr. Amina said. The CS was speaking in relation to yesterday’s report that cases of cheating had been detected in Nyanza and western regions, yesterday, as the exams kicked off country wide.
The CS sounded a strong warning to those may indulge in examination malpractices. “Any attempts to contaminate the examination process will be detected and arrested immediately. I wish to send a warning to anybody attempting, contemplating or with the intention to interfere with this process, you will be detected, tracked down and apprehended,” the CS said.
She further advised parents and candidates to resist any attempts by any one to lure them into indulging in examination related malpractices; as the penalties attached are hefty. “The council (The Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC) advises parents, candidates and other stake holders not to be duped into engaging in any activities that will compromise the ability of candidates to sit their examinations in a fair and stable environment,” Dr. Amina added.
Yesterday, at Monianku Secondary School, in Gucha South Sub-county of Kisii county, about 17 persons were arrested for alleged examination malpractices. Incidentally, Monianku secondary school hired outsiders to facilitate examination malpractices at the examination centre. 5 suspects were nabbed by the Gucha South OCPD, Mr. Vincent Kitili, in a house that is located next to the school’s compound. The 5 were in possession of a chemistry paper which was underway, at the time. Those arrested included: Irene Kivunja Mbone, Judith Nyambeki, Alex Ziko Akuma, Christopher Ogora and Makori Edwin.
After the day’s examinations, the police arrested more suspects for questioning. Those arrested included the school’s staff members and the Kenya National Examinations Council contracted field officers (Supervisor and invigilators). They were: Mutende John (the supervisor), Invigilators (Joel Omagwa, Edna Morwabe, Gideon Nyagaka, Benard Omoro, John Abuta, Ann Nyaboe and Joel Nyakwanya) and the school’s deputy principal, Mr. Peter Arori, who is also the deputy centre manager.
The police could, however, not arrest 2 other individuals believed to have played a role at the examination cheating process. The school bursar, Peter Onchieku, ran into hiding plus the owner of the cyber cafe where the chemistry paper was photocopied, Fred Okindo.

The Kenya National Examinations Council chair, Prof George Magoha, in his press statement last evening said: “An alert system, formidable KNEC guidelines and security measures put in place over the year today helped to detect, and nip in the bud, attempts to smuggle foreign materials into two examination centres – one in Nyanza and another in Western region. At least 15 people, including centre managers and invigilators of the two schools, were arrested and are in police custody arising from the two incidents. No candidate had been exposed to any foreign material by the time Council thwarted the ulterior motives.” Read full details here: KNEC: Status of KCSE, 2018, Examinations’ administration
KNEC Press statement on administration day one KCSE Exams; 2 candidates die, 15 arrested in Nyanza and Western for alleged cheating
The Kenya National examinations Council chairman, Prof. George Magoha, on Monday (5/11/2018) gave a statement on execution of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education Examination. In his address, Prof Magoha highlighted cases of attempted cheating in Nyanza and Western Regions that were blocked and culprits arrested. Reports indicate that one of the cases involved Monianku secondary school, in Gucha South Subcounty of Kisii County, Nyanza Region.
Here is the full press statement from the KNEC Chair:
“The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) wishes to announce that the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination kicked off smoothly in all parts of the country today.
As has been the case over the last two years, all the more than 664,550 candidates sat the Mathematics Paper 1 and Chemistry Paper 1 that had not been seen before by anyone, a further confirmation that the 2018 KCSE examination will not be leaked. However, the Council wishes to inform the country of the following incidents:
- An alert system, formidable KNEC guidelines and security measures put in place over the year today helped to detect, and nip in the bud, attempts to smuggle foreign materials into two examination centres – one in Nyanza and another in Western region. At least 15 people, including centre managers and invigilators of the two schools, were arrested and are in police custody arising from the two incidents. No candidate had been exposed to any foreign material by the time Council thwarted the ulterior motives.
- Two candidates – one from Murang’a and Nyamira – died on the first day of the KCSE examination in unfortunate circumstances. The council wishes to send its sincere message of condolences to the affected families and friends.
The Council advises parents, candidates and other stakeholders not to be duped into engaging in any activities that will compromise the ability of candidates to sit their examinations in a fair and stable environment. The Council reiterates that all measures have been put in place to ensure a credible examination and that anyone with an intention of cheating will be subjected to the full force of the law.”
The tests enter day two on Tuesday morning (6/11/2018)
It is alleged that at Monianku Secondary, 17 people were arrested among them a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination supervisor, seven invigilators and Monianku Secondary School’s deputy principal over suspicion of exam malpractice. Some of the arrested suspects were found in a house next to the school compound with copies of a chemistry exam paper which was still going on at that time. Those nabbed by the police were: Mr John Mutende, (supervisor) and invigilators Mr Joel Omagwa, Ms Edna Morwabe, Mr Gideon Nyagaka, Mr Bernard Omoro, Mr John Abuta, Ms Ann Nyaboke, Mr Joel Nyakwanya and Monianku Secondary School Deputy Principal Peter Arori.

Head teachers faulted for sending candidates home to bring fees as MPs criticize CS Amina’s absence, ahead of exams
A section of parents have come out to strongly castigate the decision by some schools in Trans Nzoia to send form four students home to collect school fees balances with less than four weeks to the commencement of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE, examinations. Yesterday, a large number of students was spotted in various locations boarding vehicles home after being sent away from schools.
Speaking to the media, today, the angry parents said chasing the students home at this time could hamper the kids’ preparations for the final examinations. “It is sad to meet a form four student on the road, who has been sent to collect a fees balance of as little as Ksh. 1,000”, said one of the parents, today while speaking to the media. The parents are urging the head teachers not to send the students home at this critical time of the year and have called upon the Education Ministry Cabinet Secretary, Amina Mohammed, to step in and intervene. This happens even as the Ministry of Education announced, yesterday, that they had released tranche three of the free Secondary and primary education funds. Read more details here….The Government has finally released FSE and FPE funds for term 3 ,2018.
But, in a rejoinder today, most heads who spoke to our newsroom indicated that the Education Ministry was just playing Public relations as there are no monies in the accounts yet, as claimed by PS Kipsang. “I have gone to the bank to check and withdraw the FSE funds, today, but to my surprise the said funds have not reflected in the accounts yet. Creditors and other suppliers are on my neck wanting me to clear their debts”. Said a school head who requested for anonymity.
The Trans Nzoia parents who are yet to receive payment for the maize they supplied to the National Cereals and Produce Board, NCPB, said chasing students home from school will see them lose a lot in terms of syllabus coverage and revision. Some parents faulted the criteria being used by Constituency Development Boards, CDF, and Counties to award education bursaries as most monies benefitted kids from rich families; who are not needy after all.
The parents are now urging the schools’ heads to give them more time to pay the fees balances after getting payment from the NCPB. Yesterday, the Education PS, Dr. Belio Kipsang, said concrete plans had been put in place to ensure that all the candidates sit for the tests under conducive environments.
Elsewhere, the Parliamentary Committee on Education has protested against the decision by the Ministry of Education cabinet Secretary, Ambassador Amina Mohammed, for snubbing their summons. Led by Hon. Julius Melly, the Tinderet Member of Parliament who is also the chair to the committee, the MPs said they had summoned CS Amina to shed more light on the fate of the over 4,000 students affected by insecurity in various parts of the country. CS Amina, who was, also, required to give more details on the Ministry’s preparations for the forth coming National examinations, is said to be out of the country and has requested the MPs to reschedule the meeting to Thursday the 4th of October, 2018.
The infuriated MPs, at the same time, criticized the Chairman to the Kenya National Examination Council’s decision to list examination cheating hotpots, a move that has also been vehemently opposed by local members more so from the Kisii region, that was mentioned in the list. Read more details here…Local officials in Kisii protest against Magoha’s listing of Kisii as an exam cheating hot spot
speaking to the press at Parliament buildings, today, the MPs said it is discriminating for the KNEC chair, Prof. Magoha, to profile the mentioned areas saying such a move has caused unnecessary anxiety and panic among the students and parents; from the mentioned areas. The Legislators asked Prof. Magoha to immediately name the over thirty schools being investigated for alleged examinations malpractices.

Kazakhstan established a 12-6 lead in the first set behind a fierce attack. Kenya dug in and fought back to cut the deficit to 12-9 and Kazakhstan took a timeout. The tactic did not work, however, as Kenya ran off three more points to equalize at 12-12.
The Kazakhs struggled with blocking and made unforced errors that allowed Kenya to claw back. Christine Psiwa soared for a spike that gave Kenya set point at 24-23, and the Kenyans closed out the set 25-23.
Kenya’s inspired play was bolstered by a strong attack and timely defense. Moim had nine points in the opening set for Kenya.
Kenya picked up where they left off in the second set, moving out to a 5-0 lead before Kazakhstan got on the board. Kenya led 8-4 at the first team time out after a Kazak serve went into the net. Kazakhstan made a run in the set, coming within a point at 13-12, but after Moim soared for another spike, Kenya was in front 16-13 at the second Time Out.
The Kenyans continued to do a good job of finding holes in the Kazakh defense during the set. A crosscourt spike by Emmaculate Chemtai gave Kenya set point at 24-20 and they took the set 25-22 when she came up with a big block.
Kazakhstan began to put up resistance in the third set, taking an 8-5 lead at the first team time out behind some good blocking. But Kenya kept is close and equalized 10-10 on a block by Moim, before pulling ahead 13-12 on a block by Noel Murambi.
Kenya led 16-14 at the second Team Time Out and kept the momentum to finish it off 25-21.

ICJ condemns police brutality against rioting Maseno University Students, yesterday
The International Commission of Jurists, ICJ, has come out to strongly criticize the excessive use of force against striking Maseno University Students. “(we) condemn in the strongest terms possible the police brutality on Students of Maseno University. This excessive use of force was uncalled for and does not only violate (the) Kenyan law but also international guidelines on use of force by law enforcement,” read a presser by ICJ, today.
The agitated students, on Sunday 4th November 2018, staged demonstrations against alleged police harassment. The students blocked the busy Kisumu – Busia road; and lit fierce bonfires. The students staged the demos after their colleagues, who had visited the Maseno Police Station to report on an attack on four of their other comrades, were locked up by the police.
The police were seen being brutalized by the police even after surrendering. See images and video below (Disclaimer! some content may be graphic).
