Kenya’s National soccer team, Harambee Stars, take on Ethiopia in an AFCON group F qualifier, this afternoon, at 4.00pm. In their first leg, the two teams played out to a barren draw, in Ethiopia. Kenya sits at the summit of group F and won’t afford to flop at home, today.
And, with less than 5 hours to kick off, Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, is almost full. Patriotic fans started walking in as early as 8.00am this morning. Today’s match is a must win for the Kenyans in order to return to the Continental show piece, African Cup Of Nations (AFCON) finals, next year after 15 years in the cold. The Kenyans sensationally silenced the highly rated Black stars of Ghana, 1-0, in their last game at kasarani few weeks ago.
Large security detail will keep vigil to ensure no major ugly incidences.
Various luminaries have been sending messages of success to the local boys, we sample some here:
Hon. Boni Khalwale: “Harambee Stars, I may not be at Kasarani Stadium today but I do wish u an emphatic win against Ethiopia.”
Senator Moses Wetangula: “I salute our Harambee stars and wish them sweet victory in the Afcon match against The Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia.”
H.E William Ruto, DP: “Visited Harambee Stars training camp at Kasarani Stadium, Nairobi County in a show of solidarity and delivered a goodwill message from Government and Kenyans ahead of the crunch Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia. The boys are in high spirits and raring to go.”

With less than four weeks to the start of this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examinations, KCSE, and Kenya Certificate of Primary Education Examinations, KCPE, Plans are at an advanced stage to secure credibility of the national examinations. Speaking at Lang’ata’s examination Container, in Nairobi, during an inspection tour, the duo sounded a stern warning to students, parents and other stake holders on any attempts to compromise the credibility of the examinations. The two indicated that there are reports of fake examinations papers being circulated over the internet by con men who are out to extort money from unsuspecting parents and students.
“Our candidates, instead of revising for the syllabus to have a reasonable chance of passing, they are focusing on these fake papers. They shall focus on these papers at their own peril,” the tough speaking Prof. George Magoha said today. Prof. George A.O Magoha, a Professor of Transplant Surgery and an Honorary Consultant Surgeon and Urologist at Kenyatta National Hospital and Nairobi Hospital, is the Chairman of the Kenya National Examinations Council, with effect from March 09, 2016.
Speaking to journalists after inspecting one of the examinations’ containers in Nairobi, today, Dr. Richard Belio Kipsang, the Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education Science and Technology said that plans are underway to ensure that the National examinations shall be held under suitable conditions for all candidates; countrywide. He promised students living in insecurity prone areas, like Narok, of conducive environment as they write their papers. “There shall be no prayer days where we shall invite crowds from outside the school,” Dr. Kipsang warned.
Dr. Kipsang had no kind words for schools which will try to compromise the exams. “A school or Centre that will be found out to have exposed an examination material before the due time will have that centre cease to be an exam centre and become a scene of crime,” Kipsang added.
A total of over 1.7 million candidates are set to sit this year’s national examinations.

It is emerging out that the Speaker of the Senate, Hon. Kenneth Lusaka, has cleared five Senators to watch the FIVB Women’s World Volleyball championship that kicks off on Saturday, in Japan.
The five Senators: Christophet Lagat(Bomet), Irungu Kang’ata(Murang’a) and nominated Senators: Christine Zawadi, Beatrice Kwamboka and Victor Prengei.
Kenya’s Malkia Stikers are participating at this year’s championship, alongside compatriots, Cameroon.
The five Senators will each pocket a whooping Kshs. 1.2 Million for the two weeks. This is in accordance with the Parliamentary’s Service Commission rates where members are paid Kshs. 100,000 while on international trips. Their air tickets costs will also be footed by the ex chequer.
Surprisingly, the Kenyan players who are participating in championship were each paid Sh80,000 for the three weeks they will be in Tokyo. This means each player will get a per diem of just Ksh. 3,800.
The latest development comes after the Speaker to the National Assembly, Justin Muturi, turned down a request by 10 Legislators to also fly to Tokyo, Japan, to witness the games.

Public schools hit with financial crunch as government delays release of FSE and FPE funds
The Kenyan education Cabinet Secretary, Amb. Amina Chawahir Mohamed, is this year’s winner of of the Women of Excellence award.
Making the announcement yesterday, the African Union and the Diaspora African forum said they were honouring the first woman minister for education in Kenya for her long and outstanding work in girls’ education and governance.
The annual African Women of Excellence Awards (AWEA) recognises and honours women of Africa and the diaspora who have contributed to the struggle for political, social and economic independence.
This year’s theme pays tribute to the first iconic recipient of the AWEA Committee’s Living Legends Award Winnie Madikizela Mandela.
Previously, Mohamed served as the minister for foreign affairs and international trade, deputy executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme and permanent secretary in the ministry of justice, national cohesion and constitutional affairs where she played a key role in creating the 2010 Constitution in Kenya.
Most recently, she has worked tirelessly in the arenas of women’s empowerment and girls’ education in Kenya and around the world, especially as co-chair of the Commonwealth High Level Platform for Girls’ Education which works to put 130 million out of school girls back in the classroom.
Speaking to the Inter Press Service (IPS) Amina Mohamed said, “the AWEA is a great honour which I accept with humility and gratitude; and which I share with my family, colleagues and friends who have encouraged me all along. The award is recognition that I have made a demonstrable contribution towards the progress of my country and in enriching the lives of our people. It is a very important award that will no doubt inspire other women in the country, and especially young girls, to develop confidence in themselves and in their ability to make positive and tangible impact in their communities and nations”.
The elegant Amina who served as the Cabinet Secretary (Minister) for Foreign Affairs and International Trade and was the first woman to hold this position in Kenya. During this period, she raised Kenya’s international foreign profile leading to the highest increment of Foreign Direct Investment to the country by 400%. The country also received during her tenure the highest number of Heads of State and Government and dignitaries in history.
Amina further added that “the well-being of our country, now and in the future, lies in our hands. Building a country is a collective responsibility and exercise in which each one of us has a role to play and a contribution to make. In making our contribution, in whatever capacity, we must embrace the virtues of hard work, careful reflection, patriotism, honesty, accountability, justice and fairness and the pursuit of public good. I believe that my adherence to these virtues have inspired this award. I am grateful to my family, friends and colleagues for their continued support.”
Ambassador Amina has been attending the ‘Leave No Girl Behind’ Conference, in New York, at the annual United Nations General Assembly which commenced on Monday September 24, 2018.
