Mumias ‘bribed All Stars Sh40,000 to win’
Soccer champions Mumias Sugar _ one of Kenya's top clubs _ today faces
expulsion from the game.
The move follows revelations that some of its players and officials bribed Kisumu
All Stars with Sh40,000 to let in the 10 goals that won Mumias the Premier League
last weekend.
20 dead as situation worsens
More than 20 people have died in Kokuro and Meiyan areas of Turkana as the
drought situation in the district worsens.
Among the dead are two women and their children who died on their way to the Catholic Church feeding centre at
Kaaleng.
Loan talks 'likely in Jan'
An International Monetary Fund mission may be dispatched to Nairobi as early as
January next year to begin negotiations on a poverty reduction and growth facility.
'75 scandal rocked the country
The scandal created by the Mumias Sugar-All Stars Premier League match
outcome is reminiscent of a similar controversy which surrounded the result of the
1975 Kenya National League clash between Abaluhya (now AFC Leopards) and
Luo Union (now Re-Union).

Trade talks: What the West must know
Trade, not aid, is what will save Africa from economic stagnation. This is the
message we should deliver at the World Trade Organisation(WTO) summit whose
mandate is to review the implementation of the WTO Agreement.
This is one Bill that ought to be vetoed
If the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) Bill passed this week is signed into law,
MPs who have served for just one term and will have reached 40 will be entitled to
a pension calculated at 15 per cent of their gross pay. It so happens that MPs do not contribute to a pension scheme which means
Kenyans will have to foot the bill.
