| | Kenya in dilemma over transfer of Teams shares to private investors | | 2008-03-17 03:15:03 | | The Kenya government is in a dilemma over how to transfer billions of shillings’ worth of shares in the state-funded fibre-optic operator Teams Ltd to private companies when the multimillion-dollar cable comes into commercial operation in June next year. Teams Ltd is a government-owned special purpose vehicle created to develop a fibre-optic sea cable connecting the East African region through Mombasa to the world’s fibre-optic communications backbone via Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.The shares of the company are to be sold to users of the cable when it commences commercial operation in July next year. The EastAfrican has learnt that the Ministry of Information and Communications (which, together with the Communications Commission of Kenya, is managing the project on the government’s behalf), has sought direction from the Treasury on whether to subject the sale of shares of the SPV to the new and lengthy but more transparent Privatisation Act, or to transfer the shares to... | | By: Indonesia Type Approval/homologation/Compliance ce | | |

| | Essar Oil arm inks pact to buy 50% in Kenya Petroleum | | 2008-01-15 21:32:00 | | Essar Energy Overseas, a subsidiary of Essar Oil, entered into an agreement to acquire 50% of Kenya Petroleum Refineries (KPRL), a 4 million metric tons (MMTRA) per annum refinery in Mombasa, Kenya. The government of Kenya holds the remaining 50% of KPRL.Essar will acquire the stake from the existing shareholders, The Shell Petroleum, Chevron Global Energy and BP Africa. Subject to certain conditions, the acquisition is expected to complete in early 2008.The Mombasa refinery is the only refinery in Eastern Africa. It currently produces LPG, gasoline, diesel, kerosene and fuel oil. The refinery is planned to be upgraded by adding secondary units at a project cost of USD 400-450 million.Naresh Nayyar, chief executive of Essar Energy Holdings said, ``We are very pleased that our first refinery acquisition outside of India will be made in Kenya. We look forward to working with the government of Kenya to develop KPRL further to supply the growing Kenyan and adjacent markets and finalise the upgrade project.``KRRL`s products are sold into the Kenyan market and exported to neighbouring countries including Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda. Demand for petroleum products in these markets is estimated at 5 million tons per annum.This, the first international acquisition by Essar in the refining sector, fits Essar`s strategy of achieving refining capacity of one million barrels per day. In addition, Essar already has three exploration and production blocks in Madagascar and one in Nigeria.Shares of Essar Oil declined Rs 10.8, or 3.54%, to settle at Rs 294.25.

| | | il Kenya non deve diventare un'altro Ruanda. | | 2008-01-07 14:20:37 | | Esiste un Kenya per i turisti ed uno per i residenti, uno per i ricchi ed uno per i poveri.I più fortunati se ne stanno asserragliati nei loro quartieri residenziali, nelle loro ricche abitazioni, ben protetti e vigilati. Riposano, sdraiati su spiagge dorate, attenti solo a non essere colpiti dai raggi di un sole troppo cocente.I secondi vivono, con un dollaro al giorno, il dramma della povertà, ora anche l'incertezza di una guerra civile sempre più sanguinosa e devono solo essere attenti a non essere colpiti da palle di fucile o da frecce.Lo scontro politico è scoppiato tra il presidente in carica Kibaki e l'opposizione guidata dallo sfidante Odinga.Motivo del contendere i risultati delle elezioni politiche in cui entrambi i candidati si sono proclamati vincitori; e che sembra possano essere inficiati a causa dei gravi brogli elettorali.Il Kenya è una democrazia estremamente giovane in cui ogni scontro politico rischia di diventare, come spesso accade nei paesi africani, scontro etnico tribale.Tafferugli iniziali tra opposte fazioni si stanno ora trasformando , sopratutto nel nord del paese, in scontri sanguinosi tra etnie diverse.Il mondo civile al contrario tace, non attonito , semplicemente indifferente; non un intervento politico o umanitario, non un proclama, non una richiesta di cessate il fuoco, semplicemente il nulla.Il mondo occidentale tace, preoccupato forse che qualcuno possa rovinargli la serenità di un periodo, destinato dalla tradizione, ai soli festeggiamenti.Neanche sono bastati i più di mille morti accertati in pochi giorni o i centomila sfollati.Nessuno si è ancora accorto che questo conflitto rischia giorno dopo giorno, di assomigliare sempre di più alla "pulizia etnica" che avevamo visto in azione nel Ruanda, e che una volta palesata riusci a inorridire il mondo.E' veramente scandaloso il silenzio dell'Europa, altrettanto e di più l'indifferenza dell'Onu e delle grandi potenze; tutti scarsamente interessati al Kenya ed a... | | By: Azzurro | | |
| | KENYA: APPELLO DI AMREF | | 2008-01-05 14:15:00 | | I vertici di AMREF, la principale organizzazione sanitaria africana con sede mondiale a Nairobi, esprimono forti preoccupazioni per la delicata e drammatica situazione del Kenya, a seguito del discusso risultato delle elezioni presidenziali che hanno decretato la vittoria del presidente in carica Mwai Kibaki contro il leader dell’opposizione Raila Odinga. “Le attività di AMREF, da cui dipende la vita di migliaia di cittadini del Kenya,- dice da Nairobi Thomas Simmons, Vice Presidente di AMREF Italia - sono attualmente sospese a causa degli scontri. Dagli slums di Nairobi, dove lo staff AMREF opera per assistere i ragazzi di strada, giungono notizie allarmanti: la gente è in fuga dalle case in fiamme, e molti operatori hanno dovuto abbandonare il lavoro per portare le proprie famiglie al sicuro”.“Le stime ufficiali parlano già di 300 morti e oltre 75mila sfollati interni - dice il direttore generale di AMREF Italia, Francesco Aureli - ma i dati reali potrebbero essere più drammatici”.La grande manifestazione convocata per oggi, ma non autorizzata, è stata rinviata a martedì 8 gennaio.La tensione rimane molto alta, nonostante l’intervento della diplomazia internazionale. Mediatori del difficile dialogo tra le parti sono al momento John Kufour, presidente dell’Unione Africana, e l’arcivescovo premio Nobel per la pace Desmond Tutu, che stamattina è stato a colloquio con Odinga. Anche un altro premio Nobel, Wangari Maathai, ha chiesto a Kibaki di “tendere la mano” all’opposizione.L’obiettivo è di far sedere al tavolo dei negoziati le parti contendenti, Kibaki e Odunga, per evitare che lo scontro politico si trasformi in conflitto interetnico.A questo proposito AMREF si rivolge alle istituzioni italiane ed europee: “A favore dei negoziati si sono già mossi le segreterie di stato di Stati Uniti e Gran Bretagna, ma invitiamo il Governo italiano, l’Unione Europea e tutta la comunità internazionale ad intervenire con ogni possibile strume... | | By: Pietro Orsatti | | |
| | Amnesty sulle violenze in Kenya | | 2008-01-05 14:10:00 | | Amnesty International ha espresso la propria forte condanna per lecentinaia di uccisioni di cui si e’ resa responsabile, negli ultimigiorni, la polizia del Kenya nel corso delle proteste contro leirregolarita’ che avrebbero contraddistinto le elezioni generali del 27dicembre.Secondo resoconti ricevuti da Amnesty International e testimonianze oculari, la polizia ha aperto il fuoco contro i manifestanti in varie parti del paese. In alcuni casi, dimostranti armati di machete hanno reagito lanciando pietre, erigendo barricate e distruggendo proprieta’.‘Chiediamo al governo del Kenya di avviare un’inchiesta indipendente eimparziale sulle uccisioni compiute a Kisumu, Mombasa, Nairobi e in tuttigli altri centri del paese in cui ci sono state vittime tra i manifestantinel corso delle proteste post-elettorali. I responsabili di questeviolenze dovranno essere portati di fronte alla giustizia in modosollecito’ – ha dichiarato Erwin van der Borght, direttore del ProgrammaAfrica di Amnesty International.‘Il governo deve assicurare che le sue forze di sicurezza agiscano nelrispetto degli standard internazionali sull’uso della forza letale’ – haaggiunto van der Borght. Secondo tali standard, la polizia puo’ ricorrerealla forza solo quando strettamente necessario e al livello minimorichiesto dalle circostanze. La forza letale non dev’essere usata se nonquando inevitabile per proteggere vite umane.‘In questa fase di contestazione del risultato elettorale, AmnestyInternational chiede al governo di rispettare e proteggere i diritti umanifondamentali, tra cui il diritto alla liberta’ d’espressione e dimanifestazione pacifica, garantiti sia dalla Costituzione del Kenya chedagli accordi internazionali sottoscritti dal paese’ – ha concluso van derBorght.Amnesty International, infine, chiede alle autorita’ e ai partiti politicidel Kenya di intraprendere ogni iniziativa utile per evitare un’ulterioreescalation della violenza.I contenuti di questo sit... | | By: Pietro Orsatti | | |
| | Kenya | | 2007-10-26 20:45:00 | | The Republic of Kenya is a country in Eastern Africa. It is bordered by Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the northeast, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, and Sudan to the northwest, with the Indian Ocean running along the southeast border.Kenya has considerable land area of wildlife habitat, including the Masai Mara, where blue wildebeest and other bovids participate in a large scale annual migration. Up to 250,000 blue wildebeest perish each year in the long and arduous movement to find forage in the dry season. The "Big Five" animals of Africa can also be found in Kenya: the lion, leopard, buffalo, rhinoceros and elephant. A significant population of other wild animals, reptiles and birds can be found in the national parks and game reserves in the country. The environment of Kenya is threatened by high population growth and its side effects.From the coast on the Indian Ocean the Low plains rise to central highlands. The highlands are bisected by the Great Rift Valley; a fertile plateau in the west. The Kenyan Highlands comprise one of the most successful agricultural production regions in Africa. The highlands are the site of the highest point in Kenya (and the second highest in Africa): Mount Kenya, which reaches 5,199 meters (17,057 ft) and is also the site of glaciers. Climate varies from tropical along the coast to arid in the interior.... | | By: Exotic Destinations | | |

| | Camping in Kenya | | 2007-09-02 16:47:00 | | Naivasha — forget the volcanic dust — has become one of the convenient weekend getaway destinations, perhaps because it is only 45 minutes from Nairobi and it has turned out to be synonymous with campers. Camping is an outdoor experience that is slowly catching on with the urban youth who take drives to the nearest sites on weekends. According to Waruguru Gichuki of Downtreader Adventures, it is common to see people headed to Naivasha to camp every weekend.

| | Mt Kenya Loses Appeal to Tourists As Snow Melts | | 2007-08-16 01:49:00 | | Several Tour companies said visitors are frequently complaining of lack of glaciers on Africa's second largest mountain, a stark contrast to the captivating visual impression found in books, travel magazines and documentaries. The glaciers are large, slow moving rivers of ice, formed from compacted layers of snow, which slowly deforms and flows in response to gravity. According to one of the scientists working with UNEP, Mr Christian Lambrechts, Mt Kenya has lost 80 percent of the glaciers and snow cover over the last 10 years.

But their distinctive dress and customs, and their close proximity to many of the big game parks, have made them the most familiar to tourists, and they are a strong presence during our trip.
