Prosecutors said Kololo had aided Somali gunmen who attacked the luxury camp the couple were staying in on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast, according to court officials in Lamu, where the trial took place.
The court official Tuesday confirmed that magistrate Johnstone Munguti sentenced Kololo to death “for the crime of robbery with violence” killing David Tebbutt, and seven years in jail for his role in the kidnap of Judith.
Kenya has not actually executed anyone for more than two decades, and Kololo’s sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment.
Neil Wigan, Britain’s ambassador to Somalia, said in a message he welcomed the conviction.
Kololo claimed he was forced into aiding the Somali attackers at gunpoint.
Judith Tebbutt was released in March 2012 after a ransom was paid.
Tourism is a key foreign currency earner for Kenya, east Africa’s largest economy.
The attack on the Tebbutts — as well as the kidnap weeks later of a Frenchwoman from the Lamu archipelago and two aid workers from a refugee camp in northeast Kenya — were seen as a trigger for Kenya’s invasion of southern Somalia to attack Islamist bases there. - AFP

Photos: Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua Living and behaving like a President
I’m now starting to understand why the MPs were complaining that the Governors are small presidents.
It’s simple: they are.
We have been paying attention to their cry for Prados and entertainment allowances, yet their real power is manifested in their offices.
Lets use Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua as the case study.
For a start, there’s a Governor’s chair. Almost similar to the presidential chair we’ve all come to know. Small president?
Even more…

The real estate entrepreneur told How we made it in Africa’s Dinfin Mulupi more about his business and shared some advice to other budding entrepreneurs.
When did his entrepreneurship dream begin?
When I graduated from university in 1995 and I was sure I wanted to go into business. I did not want to be employed because I did not want to be confined to a fixed amount of pay. I am a greedy person; I wanted more. Either way I needed to earn a living, so I took the first job I was offered. Eventually I needed a house to rent. I talked to estate agents and realised there was an opportunity in the market.
How was his journey in starting his company?
Mentor Holdings is a real estate consortium that encompasses ten subsidiaries that are all in one way related to real estate. This began as a dream when I joined the market in 1995 as an estate agent. I noticed that most estate agents had very small portfolios and hence sold very little. Most of them were not thinking about how to satisfy their customers and expand their portfolios. I wanted to do things differently; I invested heavily in marketing, recruiting personnel, going out to identify people who owned property and introduced professionalism. I noticed that when people came to an estate agent it was like they came to a doctor. They required advice; should they rent or buy, how do they get a mortgage, if they have money should they buy land or a ready home? I discovered this was beyond what typical estate agents did. The subsidiaries started growing organically. Today we have businesses involved in construction, management, marketing, advisory, event organising, advertising and publishing.
He ventured into the industry 18 years ago. What are some of the trends seen in the property market today?
The middle class effect is hard to miss. In 1995, [the only people] who could afford to rent or buy a home in a prime estate was a UN employee, diplomat, corrupt parastatal official or someone linked with a politician. Today it is ordinary Kenyans who are buying. Some corporate firms here have mortgage arrangements with banks or their own internal mortgage schemes. In the last ten years there has been a lot of commerce going on.
The middle class has expanded and these people have money. I once met a lady who visited one of our developments in a prime estate in Nairobi and she wanted to buy a home going for US$294,000 and pay cash for it. People are looking for well priced properties, well designed properties, well located properties and well finished properties. If you are able to satisfy that, you have a market. The increased competition in the industry is proof of the immense opportunities here.
What are some of the challenges you face in running this business?
We have a poor culture where the end justifies the means. Sometimes clients go behind your back to collude with employees. There was one project we were handling where the fees were running into millions and the client figured out he would rather poach our employees instead of paying the company to do the job.
In our society, people glorify achievements instead of hard work and morality. Everyone wants to get rich quickly. It has taken me 20 years to get where I am today. Somebody is graduating from school and wants to be where I am in one year. It is all about hard work, commitment and honesty. Human resources is also a challenge.
What is your advice to other entrepreneurs?
They ought to be persistent. It is a long journey and success does not come overnight. Success that comes gradually has a solid base. A successful business person has to be greedy. You need to have the appetite for more. That hunger for more pushes your adrenaline levels. If it is not there then everything becomes meaningless. If I make one billion today, I start looking for two billion. There is no limit in what you can achieve. Your achievement is limited by your imagination. I remember the first big project we did was worth $2 million and it seemed too big for us to pull off. Today our construction company is handling a project worth $12 million. I am sure when we finish it we will feel like; that was an easy one.
I recently attended a talk by Dr. wale Akinyemi at Parklands Baptist Church in Westlands where Dr wale was speaking on “Effective and Purposeful Thinking” and got thrilled by an upsetting statement that he made, “there is more money on earth than people.” The key thing is ‘your thinking’.
“As a man thinks so is he.’ Your life is a reflection of your mind Dr wale asserts. “Look around yourself and see. Thinking if free, though people think they are thinking but they are not. A lot of people who are mentally sound are mentally sick, especially those whose brain has a high value of second hand.
Some people are so consumed by what they are going on around them that they do not think where they are going. Bitterness does not change your situation so try another approach. “This consumed level of thinking brings generational inheritance. Dr Wale adds. “I do not understand why it is so easy for people to say ‘I am poor,’ instead of saying ‘I am rich.’” If you cannon t say it when you do not have it then you cannot get it.
Every country has a national average level of thinking. “Unless you think out of your national Average level of thinking, you cannot achieve beyond the national average level of achievement.” Wale asserts. You go into every country and there is a way of life there, thus you often hear these words “This is Kenya” or ‘This is England.”
As long as you are subscribed to “This is Kenya” philosophy, you cannot achieve beyond Kenyan level of acheicvement.
Successful people get out of these thinking blocks and leave a legacy.
Thinking Blocks form the basis of our thinking and they include:
1. Parental Block – This is what you inherited from your parents. “As he grew up, I would look at a nice car and my mother would say, ‘you do not even have a job to buy that car.” My mother also feared water in a swimming pool, and I also feared and even transferred it to my children. If you grow up with parental block that money is difficult to come by, then you will never even look for ways of making money.
2. Teachers Block- This is what your teacher told you. For example, you are taught that; “you cannot start a business if you do not have capital.” All you need to start a business is your brain. “Nobody told me of my intellectual capital and social capital to do presentations and motivational speaking.” You need to start questioning what you are told.
3. Heroes Block- “Be careful who your heroes are” Wale says. We walk into the heroes’ footsteps and what they consider their limitations or strengths we adopt them. “A study conducted on pastors revealed that pastors who mentor others have the same limitations and died at the same age.
4. Peers Block - This is where you compare your friends. “Do not look others. Do not look what they are doing.” Wale asserts. “When will you have time to think about your own self?” He further demonstrates this with a referee in a football match. “A referee goes everywhere all the players are, sweats but at the end of the game, nobody remembers him. The referees’ job description is to look for faults in others.” There are people who are referees and only keep looking for faults in you. “Refuse to be a referee, be a player,” he adds
5. Professional Block- Thinking that a certain profession is better that another. “In every profession there are champions. No profession is perfect; am sure you have seen poor lawyers and rich lawyers, poor accountants and rich accounts, poor teachers and rich teachers.” Be the best in your profession by staying on top of your game.
6. Societal Block- This is what society dictates is right or wrong to do. For example, some people will say that, “nobody in our clan has done ABCD.” If you fall for this belief then your mind will be limited there.

The One Thing Successful People Never Do
Success comes in all shapes and colours. You can be successful in your job and career but you can equally be successful in your marriage, at sports or a hobby. Whatever success you are after there is one thing all radically successful people have in common: Their ferocious drive and hunger for success makes them never give up.
Successful people (or the people talking or writing about them) often paint a picture of the perfect ascent to success. In fact, some of the most successful people in business, entertainment and sport have failed. Many have failed numerous times but they have never given up. Successful people are able to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and carry on trying.
I have collected some examples that should be an inspiration to anyone who aspires to be successful. They show that if you want to succeed you should expect failure along the way. I actually believe that failure can spur you on and make you try even harder. You could argue that every experience of failure increases the hunger for success. The truly successful won't be beaten, they take responsibility for failure, learn from it and start all over from a stronger position.
Let's look at some examples, including some of my fellow influencers:
Henry Ford - the pioneer of modern business entrepreneurs and the founder of the Ford Motor Company failed a number of times on his route to success. His first venture to build a motor car got dissolved a year and a half after it was started because the stockholders lost confidence in Henry Ford. Ford was able to gather enough capital to start again but a year later pressure from the financiers forced him out of the company again. Despite the fact that the entire motor industry had lost faith in him he managed to find another investor to start the Ford Motor Company - and the rest is history.
Walt Disney - one of the greatest business leaders who created the global Disney empire of film studios, theme parks and consumer products didn't start off successful. Before the great success came a number of failures. Believe it or not, Walt was fired from an early job at the Kansas City Star Newspaper because he was not creative enough! In 1922 he started his first company called Laugh-O-Gram. The Kansas based business would produce cartoons and short advertising films. In 1923, the business went bankrupt. Walt didn't give up, he packed up, went to Hollywood and started The Walt Disney Company.
Richard Branson - He is undoubtedly a successful entrepreneur with many successful ventures to his name including Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Music and Virgin Active. However, when he was 16 he dropped out of school to start a student magazine that didn't do as well as he hoped. He then set up a mail-order record business which did so well that he opened his own record shop called Virgin. Along the way to success came many other failed ventures including Virgin Cola, Virgin Vodka, Virgin Clothes, Virgin Vie, Virgin cards, etc.
Oprah Winfrey - who ranks No 1 in the Forbes celebrity list and is recognized as the queen of entertainment based on an amazing career as iconic talk show host, media proprietor, actress and producer. In her earlier career she had numerous set-backs, which included getting fired from her job as a reporter because she was 'unfit for television', getting fired as co-anchor for the 6 O'clock weekday news on WJZ-TV and being demoted to morning TV.
J.K. Rowling - who wrote the Harry Potter books selling over 400 million copies and making it one of the most successful and lucrative book and film series ever. However, like so many writers she received endless rejections from publishers. Many rejected her manuscript outright for reasons like 'it was far too long for a children's book' or because 'children books never make any money'. J.K. Rowling's story is even more inspiring because when she started she was a divorced single mum on welfare.
Bill Gates -co-founder and chairman of Microsoft set up a business called Traf-O-Data. The partnership between him, Paul Allen and Paul Gilbert was based on a good idea (to read data from roadway traffic counters and create automated reports on traffic flows) but a flawed business model that left the company with few customers. The company ran up losses between 1974 and 1980 before it was closed. However, Bill Gates and Paul Allen took what they learned and avoided those mistakes when they created the Microsoft empire.
History is littered with many more similar examples:
- Milton Hershey failed in his first two attempts to set up a confectionary business.
- H.J. Heinz set up a company that produced horseradish, which went bankrupt shortly after.
- Steve Jobs got fired from Apple, the company he founded. Only to return a few years later to turn it into one of the most successful companies ever.
THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
Your life doesn't just "happen." Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.
Habit 1: Life management
| Habit 4 is think Win-Win.
Think Win-Win isn't about being nice, nor is it a quick-fix technique. It is a character-based code for human interaction and collaboration. Most of us learn to base our self-worth on comparisons and competition. We think about succeeding in terms of someone else failing--that is, if I win, you lose; or if you win, I lose. Life becomes a zero-sum game. There is only so much pie to go around, and if you get a big piece, there is less for me; it's not fair, and I'm going to make sure you don't get anymore. We all play the game, but how much fun is it really?
| ||||||||||||
Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good!

The video is clearly shot from a hidden camera, most probably a phone camera. This is supported by Mudzo's concern that the media may get information on the meeting, to which Sonko promised to release no press statement.
Sonko adds that should information get out, he can state they were just having a cup of tea.
Obviously, Mudzo had not clue they were being recorded.
Sonko's demands were that teachers must call of the strike. He however clarified that he was not there on behalf of either President Uhuru or Deputy President Ruto.
The secretary general's demands were simple; protect them from prosecution.
Sonko told him that as long as the strike was called off, KNUT officials would not be convicted to civil jail.
Curiously, Sonko posted a link to this video on his Facebook page.
If Sonko had knowledge about the hidden camera, what was his motive?

But one study has taken another angle to this men-breast relationship: Why do some men love big breasts while others are comfortable with less than average busts? Well, its because women with bigger busts appear ‘endowed’ and show ‘resources’ – factors that may allure to men with relative scarce resources, according to a study published on psychology today.
Bigger bosom is a blessing
Psychologists Viren Swami and Martin Tovee put their theory to the test by recruiting 266 men in Malaysia that varied in socioeconomic status.
“The participants were shown a series of five animated female figures that varied only in terms of breast size, and asked to rate them in terms of attractiveness,” states the psychology journal.
What were the findings? Apparently, men with a low socioeconomic status rated bigger breasts as more attractive than did middle-class men who in turn had a higher rating for big bosoms compared to men at the top of the socioeconomic ladder. Of course preferences are cultural so it would be interesting to have the same study in Africa and compare the results.
Hungry man needs some comfort
The second study sought to give credence to the scarcity/surplus theory by examining male university students at different times. These men were asked to participate in the study as they entered or exited campus dining halls during dinner. 66 students were shown the same animated female figures before they eat while another 58 students were subjected to the same experiment after dinner. The results showed the hungry men preferred bigger breasts substantially more than the satiated group.
“The second study was based on alternate evolutionary perspective on breast size, which maintains that it is a signal of a woman’s capacity to bear and nurture children,” explains the study by the psychologists.
Interestingly, another online study showed men that are not interested in fathering kids in the near future prefer smaller breasts.
Several Western governments and foundations
are funding strikes that have blighted the Kenyan government, sources
told the Jackal News, with an ambitious agenda of overthrowing the new
administration.
Through their foreign development arms, the
external funders from America and European Union are channelling their
funds through local civil society groups that have been uncomfortable
with the administration of President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is facing
virulent opposition from Raila Odinga, the man who lost the 4 March
general elections.
Last week, police investigators summoned Eliud
Owalo, an aide to Odinga, and interrogated him on a raft of allegations
broadly tied to his efforts to organise nationwide demonstrations that
would culminate into a revolution to topple Kenyatta.
At the centre of funding the wild cat strikes include Elkana Odembo,
the immediate former Kenyan ambassador to the United States, Boaz
Waruka, the chairman of URAIA trust and Morris Odhiambo, the head of
National Civil Society Congress, credible sources said.
On
organizational level, virulently anti-government Bunge la Mwananchi
(BULAMWA), Consumer Federation of Kenya (COFEK), Civil Action Plan and
Coalition For Constitution Implementation are believed to have received a
large amount of money to fan the strikes.
Last week, teachers
ended their three-week strike, the latest in a series of agonizing
industrial go-slows that have blighted the Kenyatta administration,
barely three months in office.
Anti-government forces have thrown
their weight behind the strikes, leaving many social analysts wondering
if there were some external forces pushing a political agenda in Kenya, a
nation of about 42 million people whose strategic impose to the world
cannot be overstated.
n the America’s front, the United States and Canada, through their
international development arms – US Aid for International Development
(USAID) and Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) are pumping
millions of shillings or perhaps dollars to bolster open defiance in
the name of funding the civil society, sources said.
In Europe,
the usually reticent Scandinavian nations, Denmark and Sweden — known
for generosity and soft spot for Third World “projects” are sending
money through their respective development arms, Danish International
Development Agency (DANIDA), Swedish International Development Agency
(SIDA).
The United Nations Development Programme, the richest UN
agency known for working with the civil society in the developing world,
is reportedly dishing out cash through a serious of local initiatives
packaged as promoting democracy.
The Ford Foundation, East Africa
and Open Society Initiative Easy Africa (OSIEA), two mercenary outfits
that routinely adopt “cloak and dagger” strategy, are also pouring funds
into several dubious initiatives, but their real agenda is to create
conditions necessary for revolution in Kenya.
Its public knowledge
that OSIEA has been working in cahoots with some civil society
activists to ensure President Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto –
both facing crimes against humanity charges — do not escape the ICC
dragnet.
Last week, Criminal Investigations Department (CID)
summoned Owalo, the man who helped sink the Raila Odinga presidential
ambitions, and interrogated him on allegations that he was among a group
of people plotting to destabilize the country by pushing for an
Egypt-style revolution.
Other allegations include, holding secret
meetings to fan chaos, plotting to provoke police and trigger running
battles, incorporating churches and civil society in his anti-government
schemes, working with embassies and diplomats to use the ICC issue to
fan bad blood between foreign nations and Kenyan president and his
deputy.
In addition, police are probing a dubious group, March
Fourth Movement (MFM) — initials for the day Kenyan voted in Kenyatta —
with “a plot to create civil unrest and plot nationwide demonstrations
which will lead to discrediting the government,” and spark a
Egyptian-style revolution.
Coincidentally, former Odinga’s
personal assistant, Dave Arunga, is Kenya’s ambassador to Egypt, the
cradle of Arab civilization that does is struggling to define democracy.
On
the same breathe, sources told the Jackal News human rights activists,
John Nyongesa, Ken Wafula – who are suspected of coaching ICC witnesses —
met with a relative of Odinga, nominated MP Isaac Mwaura, Kibra MP, Ken
Okoth, Sabaoti MP, Chris Wamalwa in the Intercontinental Hotel with the
agenda of pushing for revolution that would topple the government. The
meeting was reportedly facilitated by activists George Githongo and
Timothy Njoya, whose anti-government stance is known.
The estimate amount of cash that Western governments and agencies are pumping was not immediately clear.
Since
President Kenyatta announced his presidential ambitions, many western
governments threw their weight behind Odinga and started funding the
civil society to use “any means necessary” to block him from vying for
the top office, but all their pre-election schemes were scorched.
Stung
by the needless interference in Kenyan affairs, the electorate stolidly
filed for hours and voted in Kenyatta into office, offering the
arrogant schemers in the West and their local puppets a reminder that
Kenya might be a poor nation, but its people have a right to elect its
leaders.
Since then, the new government faced an avalanche of
obstacles designed to undermine the president, who has responded by
focusing on his mandate offered by the people of Kenya and the
constitution.

APPLE BEEZLocated along Gaborone road, this is the pioneer of stripping business in town. They literally set the trend in the industry. With strippers from as far as Brazil and USA, they are obviously serious about what they do.The joint is always crowded, but i would recommend Thursdays Kamasutra night. it is usually not as crowded hence the strippers give guys special attention.
LIDDOS
Located along keekoroke road, this is the one joint edging out Apple beez as the ultimate Nairobi’s top strip club. The music is so loud here, that you have to shout to order a drink.Its not as dark as Apple beez, but it isn’t that bright either. Beers retail at 250 bob and they even give you ETR receipts after purchase. a well managed club this is.
From 11pm, porn plays in the 42” plasma TV’s. If that doesn’t put you in the mood, nothing can. Alcohol with the background of loud music, porn on the screens as strippers defy the laws of gravity causes such an adrenaline rush. Not a good idea for premature ejaculators though. After Midnight, strippers chuck all manner of dressing and the show begins.
F3 PANGO
A sister club to the renowned Florida pack of night clubs, its located along Moi Avenue in the same building that Florida 2000 is located. Actually you use the same entrance to F2.After 11pm, the music is usually very loud. with jungus and hindu guys preferring this club. This is definitely a high end joint, Sudanese are also spotted making it rain here.it is a sight to behold watching the strippers work those golden poles.
TAHITI CLUB
Another club located along river road. Its a relatively small club with the balcony serving as the VIP section. The music is loud, so loud that you can almost see you beer bottle moving around the table. The DJ is a cunt though. you might think that you are chilling somewhere in Kampala when he decides to go Ham on Ugandan songs.. The strippers are gorgeous [well at least a majority] At around 11pm, the strippers work the poles with bikinis and bras and as time goes, lose everything.
- SMALL WORLD STRIP CLUB
This joint should not even feature in the list. Its Quite popular though and hence i have to make a review about it. Located on a lane just off river road and on the 5th floor of an old building that has no lifts, this is a place you will certainly not visit twice.The first thing that you notice after entering the club is this huge hall with terrible lighting. The joint looks like a church hall, only that there are counters and stripping poles. The VIP section is also a shitty area, but when you are paying 1 sok to enter, you can’t complain.
So there you have it..
Trouble started almost immediately after the declaration,Kenyans didn't
take it lightly and trolled the choice of Miss world Kenya,Wangui
Gitonga as being a bad choice as compared to her predecessor Shamim
Nabil. Did anything get wrong or was everything just okay? We went
behind scenes and got hold of an insider who is a close source to the
panel and well acquitted with the whole process and knew all that went
on behind the scenes. Talking exclusively to Nairobi Exposed,the source
spilled the beans and exposed all that was going on behind scenes.
Shamim
Judging from the audition, one could tell the entire process was not
fair and a mess . Kenya has a number beautiful ladies, very attractive
indeed . But they were, either denied chances to show up or prove
themselves. Audition were only done in three cities, Nairobi, Mombasa
and Kisumu. Is that the whole Kenya or even a third Kenya? You need to
learn how audition are being done in other countries I believe the
audition judges were so unfair and Moody. Take for example, Dorothy
Oliech, she was pregnant by then. What the h*ll, you all know what
pregnant women attitudes are especially to their fellow ladies more so
if the ladies are beautiful. Dorothy runs a modeling agency called
Mochez. Those who have worked with her, have always complained of her
favourism. They will tell you who she is. Well, Odada Okello, former Mr.
Kenya in a panel of beautiful girls? You got to be kidding me. I am Not
a hater, he is good but the Criteria of choosing miss Kenya was far
much different from that of Mr.Kenya. In fact, you can't even compare
and contrast.
Miss World Kenya 2013
Judging from this list of the Top 10 finalist;
•Wangoi Gitonga
•Leah Tesfermariam
•Sofia Umuiza
•Alice Mutuli
•Yvonne Amondi
•Ubah Musa
•Tabitha Maina
•Purity Kadhure
•Janet Tianda
•Paynnet Nyawara
1st runners up, has Ethiopian identity 2nd runners up is a Rwandese Taita born and imagine they are competing for Miss Kenya.
Miss Kenya organizer are a let down. Terry the C.E.O Ashley and
Franchise holder Miss Kenya needs to think twice. She has been
influencing judges to abide by her own decision. This is killing the
entire competition. The final judges,damn,that was still a mess. It is
beauty by purpose not beauty by wish or command. I remember when Susan
Anyango became miss Kenya, Terry didn't like it but trust me,the judges
were super. By then, Nestle who were the main sponsors, had to flew in
judges from outside including former Miss India.Terry ended up giving,
the car for Miss Kenya to 1 st runners up for two weeks, something which
made Nestle the main Sponsor to pull out. Take a look who were this
year's Judges, common people you know, and friends to the C.E.O. what do
you expect if they go against The Boss' will? Judges including, Noni
Gathoni, hahaha.from wedding show to miss Kenya Judge, damn it. Sally
From AFAD, Reeny, Odada Okelo, and Francis.where is Former miss Miss
Kenya,? You decided to put her back stage instead of her being on the
panel.
Choreography done by Tony was good, you did your job, Doesn't matter who
to be trained . In summary, this year Miss Kenya representative, really
shocked, the entire country. Let's expect more of disappointment to
come this August at Indonesia.
RECOMMENDATIONS - Audition need to be done in the entire country not
only in 3 cities, it's their(girls ) rights to be auditioned
- Don't take a pregnant woman who are almost giving birth to be on the judging panel. Pregnant women have issues with beauty!
- The Organizers,especially madam C.E.O let it be unknown, and let the judges do their own job.
- confirm with the girls their true identity. The competition is Miss Kenya not Miss Eastern Africa.
