Secure Network Access Needed in the Treasury website
I read in the press that internet hackers have attacked Kenya's Treasury website!
Secure Network Access should be installed in our Treasury website at once.
There are a number of steps needed to raise any site's security and reduce the incidence of website hacking.
Design
A website should be well designed with appropriate features that make it near impossible to copy, print or edit. No one should access even the source code except the webmaster who designed the site and installed encrypted code and password.
Hosting
A hosting server should always use an account with a dedicated IP address and not a shared IP address.
Secure SSL Certificate
This is a must have security feature. An SSL Certificate, or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate enables your website to be able to accept and transmit confidential information securely over an encrypted internet connection.
A website with secure hosting will always use "https" prefix in the address bar or the padlock icon on their browser when they submit personal information.
You need an SSL Certificate:
If you plan to have an online store or e-commerce site that accepts online orders and credit cards.
If you collect sensitive or personal information from your website visitors on your website through web forms.
If you allow partners, members, or others to log in to view information securely from your website.
If you want to help your customers ensure they are visiting your actual website, avoiding phishing scams or other counterfeiting of your website.
If you or your business desire to or are required to comply with privacy and security regulations.

DO NOT KILL OUR ECONOMY WITH UNTESTED PREMISES
During the 1930's there was a man who lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs. He was hard of hearing, so he had no radio. He had trouble with his eyes, so he read no newspapers. But he sold good hot dogs. He stood at the side of the road and cried: "Buy a hot dog, mister?" And people bought. He increased his meat and bun orders. He bought a bigger stove to take care of his trade.
Business was so good he brought his son home from college early to help him out. And his son said: "Father, haven't you been listening to the radio? Haven't you been reading the newspapers? The European situation is terrible. The domestic situation is worse."
The father thought to himself, "Well, my son's been to college, he reads the papers and he listens to the radio -- so he ought to know." So the father cut down his meat and bun orders, took down his signs, and no longer bothered to stand out on the highway to sell his hot dogs. And his hot dog sales fell almost overnight. The father said to the boy, "You're right, son, we certainly are in the middle of a great depression."
Doesn't that sound exactly like what is happening now?
So what should you do? Apply experience and sound judgement. Not just untested academic or intellectual theories!

KENYA CAN CREATE A SECURE ECONOMIC FUTURE
WORK SMARTER, AND SPEND WISELY
In times like these it is all too easy to sit back and say that there is nothing we can do to create a secure future for ourselves and blame it on outside forces.
These comments we often hear these days are not captivating and will certainly not provide solutions to the economic problems.
It is the efforts that every Kenyan and investor put forward in the tough times which will ultimately lead us to a recession proof business and a secure future.
As you no doubt have noticed in recent weeks and months, the economy - not just in Kenya, but worldwide - has been worrying to say the least.
And of course with this comes the ever present question of concerned business owners, farmers and professionals of what to do when the economy does slow down. Do we cut our advertising? Do we scale back our marketing efforts? In short, how do we weather the storm?
Well, I recently met an acquaintance who runs a 700 million Kenya shillings a year enterprise and when I asked his opinion, here is what he had to say.
"The simplest thing I was ever taught - whether good times or bad - was to spend as much smart money as you can and at the same time eliminate as much foolish spending as possible. Of course this makes sense in any economic situation; however it is much more prudent in slowing times to make sure that careless spending does not completely erase our bottom line.
Yes it's true that margins may shrink in some of our efforts, but the important thing is that there are margins that remain. Whatever you do - DON'T stop what's working. Don't stop advertising. Don't stop marketing. Don't stop getting your name out there. Matter of fact, in a slowingeconomy, you should be doing more. Keep building up your brand or business in good times and bad. Get your name out there on a consistent basis because the tough times won't last forever and when things turn around, you want to be poised and ready for growth, not in the position of having to build up your business from scratch again.
As a business owner it is your responsibility to you, your family, your employees and your customers to remain in business. Do not get caught up in a self fulfilling prophecy whereby business drops off, so you advertise and market less and end up in a downward spiraling loop until suddenly you are out of business. Don't get caught up in the media frenzy of doom and gloom that thrives on sensationalism."
It sure rings true as to what's happening today. What can we do to direct the economic trend into the future? Just save, invest and work smarter.
Thank You.

Kenya Judges Should Sign Performance Contracts
The thinking of ordinary Kenyans is that we should and must eliminate corruption and anti-social practices, and jumpstart the economy to achieve our broad goals of 2030.
These objectives demand total commitment from all Kenyans. We must adhere to our obligations in performing our duties to give quality service.
It is therefore very encouraging to see that our Government has proposed that public servants will now have to sign performance contracts.
Service Contracts are part of job specification - outlining both the quantitative as well as qualitative parameters of one's duties in his/her employment. An employee or public servant is then evaluated on the basis of this set criteria, which is known to him/her.
It is against this background that both Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Justice Minister Martha Karua insist that judges and magistrates should sign performance contracts.
However, the Chief Justice Evans Gicheru and other senior members of the bench contend that such a move will undermine judicial independence in Kenya.
The arguments from those opposed to performance contracts for magistrates and judges are not supportable at all.
The new Constitution should incorporate necessary provisions to include Performance Contracts for ALL public servants including magistrates and judges.
The Judicial Service Commission should set down the mission of the judiciary, and the broad objectives and the strategies necessary for achieving that mission.
JSC should in fact develop evaluation techniques for magistrates and High Court judges, and judges of the Court of Appeal.
Those criteria should include the following: integrity; knowledge and understanding of substantive, procedural and evidentiary law; communication skills; preparation and preparedness; attentiveness and control over judicial proceedings; sentencing practices; quality of judgments; docket management and prompt case disposition; administrative skills; punctuality; effectiveness in working with participants in the judicial process; and service to the legal profession and the public.
Judges, Go ahead and sign Performance Contracts, You have nothing to lose.

Should UN Use Military Intervention To Resolve Conflicts In Warring Countries?
There are certain circumstances which sometimes call for the use of military force to prevent or to resolve major conflicts between two warring Countries.
True "you don't feed your enemies while you are in a war with them. You don't provide electricity and fuel so they can continue to fight". This was once said by an African head of State.
In war people die and if the WINNER takes ALL - No qualms.
However, in a situation where the warring parties are neighbors, unless the winning side exterminates [an unlikely scenario] the losers there would be more wars. Losers will re-group with new and better strategies and come back, lose or win.
It is therefore imperative that some accommodation is taken into account. Some Give and Take is quite necessary.
You win some, Lose some! In case this approach brings peace - Go for it.
However, the Laws under which UN operates do not give the body both power and legitimacy to intervene directly into two warring states unless invited by one or the two states and at the same time sanctioned by the Security Council.
As a last resort the UN body intervenes militarily once sanctioned by the Security Council.
Be that as it may, the UN body serves as conduit through which disputes are ventilated and thus acting as shock absorbers.
This gives parties a chance to have their claims reviewed by an independent third party.
In fact the current main objective of UN is prevention and resolution of conflicts. This was emphasised by Mr Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary-General, in a speech at a UN Security Council on Wdnesday April 16, 2008 when he urged UN and the African union (AU) to make prevention and resolution of conflicts their top priority.
If one were to decide between the existence of United Nations and no such a body,then obviously the existence of UN would be desirable.

Role of United Nations
The question of United Nations is very complex. It was established in 1948 to, among other objectives, deter world wars thru dialogue, dispute resolution and where necessary military intervention.However, the Laws under which UN operates do not give the body both power and legitimacy to intervene directly into two warring states unless invited by one or the two states and at the same time sanctioned by the Security Council.
As a last resort the UN body intervenes militarily once sanctioned by the Security Council.
