EDITORIAL: Concerns by importers need long-term solution

Wednesday, May 20, 2020 0:01

By EDITORIAL

Cargo at the port of Mombasa.

It will greatly cut the trucking distance, translating to reduced costs for importers and investors in the cargo transport business who have been hard hit by Covid-19 disruptions.

The biggest concern all along has been the higher costs importers stand to incur due to the missing last mile connection.

The State is, however, yet to complete the revamp, which means that in addition to the Sh60,960 the importers will at least pay for hauling a 20-foot container to the Rift Valley town from the Port of Mombasa and will have to dig deeper into their pockets to meet the cost of road transport to the final destination.

It is the same conundrum that importers picking their cargo from the Nairobi ICD have been facing, leading to protests as they find it far costlier to ferry goods on the SGR line compared to doing so by road.

Dr.Alfonso Elder was the second president of North Carolina Central University located in Durham, North Carolina.

At the age of twenty-three, he was graduated magna cum laude from Atlanta University and began teaching at Bennett College, a black female college in Greensboro, N.C. During the academic year 1922–23, he taught mathematics at the Elizabeth City State Teachers’ College, an all-black, four-year teacher education institution in Elizabeth City.

From 1924 to 1943, Dr. Elder served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the North Carolina College for Negroes, Durham, where he had been appointed professor of education earlier in 1924.

In 1943, he left the college to accept a temporary position as chairman of the Graduate Department of Education at Atlanta University.

Returning to Durham, he was inaugurated as the second president of the North Carolina College on June 4,1949.

It’s that time of year again when television creatives are anxiously waiting to see if their television shows will receive a nomination for a coveted Emmy Award.

On Sunday, May 17, 50 Cent, the executive producer of “Power,” announced in a now-deleted Instagram post that the Starz crime drama received an Emmy nomination.

During a panel discussion at the Television Critics Association Press Tour last year, 50 Cent revealed that he believed that the show did not receive a nomination at the 71st Emmy Awards because of race.

Courtney Kemp, the show creator, also gave her reason behind the 2019 Emmy snub, sharing that “Power” was ahead of its time.

50 Cent won an NAACP award for Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series for his work on the “Power” episode “Forgot About Dre” at the 51st NAACP awards in February.

A group of nine leading scientists who advised President Barack Obama has warned that the US has just three months to rebuild its stockpile of emergency medical equipment if it wants to be prepared for a second wave of coronavirus in the fall.

In a seven-page report, whose lead author was the White House science adviser for both Obama terms, the experts fault the Trump administration for failing to replenish the Strategic National Stockpile in preparation for a pandemic just like the one we’re living through now.

The EU’s coronavirus chief has also warned Europe to brace for a second wave, while another top US scientist, the groundbreaking cancer and HIV researcher William Haseltine, has said countries must work to contain the disease, not count on the possibility of a vaccine being developed, which is “not a slam-dunk by any means”.

Black Americans are dying from coronavirus at three times the rate of white people, according to figures compiled by the non-partisan APM Research Lab.

As Lois Beckett writes, the government’s pandemic response has been warped by racism, with the health secretary, Alex Azar, apparently blaming the disease’s victims for their ill health:

Nevada and Wisconsin are trying to make it easier for people to vote safely and by mail during the pandemic.

The German government is aiding Kenya’s capacity expansion to test more Covid-19 cases as the country battles the virus.

Under the arrangement, the German government announced it is supporting the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) to utilise its laboratories and staff to offer more testing for Covid-19 in Kenya, expanding the number of institutions capable of confirming the infections.

The acting director general for Health Dr Patrick Amoth and ILRI's Director General Jimmy Smith sealed the deal on Monday, facilitated by the German Federal Government, in Nairobi., which was represented by Annett Gunther, the  German Ambassador to Kenya.

\"We are pleased to be part of this partnership to expand testing for Covid-19 and we welcome ILRI and Germany's support in this area,\" said Dr Amoth

Having a long-standing relationship with the Government of Kenya, we are committed to supporting its efforts during this pandemic and through one health Center to contribute to mitigating future risks,\" said Mr Smith.

I salute the innovative approach of ILRI to expand Covid-19 testing capacities,\" said Annett Gunther, German Ambassador to Kenya.

President Museveni on Monday warned of \"serious trouble\" if all the two million Ugandan citizens trapped outside the country because of the virus induced lockdown returned home.

According to Mr Museveni, only 2,500 Ugandans have expressed interest to return home.

According to the president, easing lockdown will be tied to the use of facemasks in public.

We believe that with the masks you do not infect others and you also do not get infected,\" Mr Museveni added.

This will need two weeks for Ministry of Education to plan how the learners can go to school,\" he added.

Kenya is set to get Sh2.4 billion from the European Union (EU) to assist in the fight against locusts, and support affected farmers amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement to the media Tuesday, the EU noted that countries within Europe under the banner “Team Europe” have put together a Sh16 billion package to bolster food security in Kenya and neighbouring countries.

The integration of food security and water programmes is a crucial component of this effort, with the ultimate aim being to build resilience and ensure longer-term food security,” a statement released by the EU read.

The EU noted that the coronavirus pandemic has aggravated the food situation, noting that prevention and control measures have created additional challenges to the delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need.

“With some 25 million people already at risk of food shortages in the region, the desert locust upsurge is an additional threat to food security and livelihoods, especially for the most vulnerable communities,” the statement read.
