Orengo: 'Tinga' alikuwa na nia ya kuwania urais 2027
GAVANA wa Siaya James Orengo amesema kuwa marehemu Raila Odinga alikuwa anajiandaa kuwania urais kwa mara ya mwisho katika uchaguzi mkuu wa 2027 kabla ya kifo chake mnamo Oktoba 15 mwaka jana. Bw Orengo, ambaye alikuwa rafiki na mshirika wa kisiasa wa Raila kwa zaidi ya miaka 50, amesema mazungumzo yao hayakuwahi kuondoa uwezekano wa kinara huyo wa zamani wa ODM kuwania urais tena. Katika mahojiano na Taifa Leo, Bw Orengo amesema kifo cha Raila kiliacha masuala mengi ya kisiasa bila kutatuliwa, huku akishutumu Serikali Jumuishi ya Rais William Ruto kwa kushindwa kutekeleza ajenda 10 walizokubaliana na marehemu. Anasema Bw Odinga alikuwa bado na jukumu muhimu la kutekeleza katika kuongoza nchi na kusukuma mbele mageuzi ya kisiasa na kiuchumi. "Nilishtuka na kukosa maneno. Kwa bahati mbaya, tulikuwa tumezoea kuamini kwamba Raila hangekufa," akasema Bw Orengo kuhusu kifo cha rafiki yake. Gavana huyo anakumbuka kwamba alifaa kukutana na marehemu Bw Odinga Siaya Oktoba 13 mwaka jana, siku chache kabla ya kifo chake. Raila alikuwa ametarajiwa kufunga mkutano wa uwekezaji na biashara wa kimataifa wa Siaya, lakini alimweleza Bw Orengo kwamba huenda asihudhurie. Siku mbili baadaye, habari za kifo cha Raila zilipowafikia waandalizi muda mfupi kabla ya mkutano kuanza, waliamua kuahirisha shughuli hiyo. Bw Orengo anasema Raila alistahili kupewa nafasi nyingine ya kuwania urais kwa sababu alikuwa bado na mchango wa kutoa kwa taifa. "Katika mazungumzo yetu, hakuwahi kuondoa uwezekano wa kuwania urais tena," akasema. Pia amekosoa jinsi mwili wa Raila ulivyorudishwa nchini na mipango ya mazishi, akisema Wakenya na watu wengine barani Afrika walipaswa kupewa muda zaidi wa kumwomboleza kiongozi huyo. Kuhusu ajenda 10, Bw Orengo anasema serikali haijaonyesha nia ya kutosha kutekeleza makubaliano hayo. Alitaja visa vya utekaji nyara, mauaji yanayodaiwa kutekelezwa kinyume cha sheria, kunyanyaswa kwa vyombo vya habari na matumizi makubwa ya fedha na serikali. Anasema ajenda hizo zililenga pia kushughulikia ukosefu wa ajira kwa vijana, ufisadi na changamoto za utawala bora. Bw Orengo amekosoa uongozi wa sasa wa ODM, akidai umeachana na misingi ya demokrasia, uzalendo na utawala wa kikatiba ambayo Raila alitetea. Alisema mabadiliko ya uongozi wa chama hicho yalipaswa kufuata katiba yake badala ya kuruhusu UDA na Rais Ruto kuingilia masuala yake ya ndani. Gavana huyo pia amedai kuwa roho ya kisiasa ya Raila inaendelezwa zaidi na vuguvugu la Linda Mwananchi linalohusishwa na Seneta wa Nairobi Edwin Sifuna na Mbunge wa Embakasi Mashariki Babu Owino. Amesisitiza kuwa eneo la Nyanza linapaswa kutanguliza demokrasia ya kikatiba na ugatuzi badala ya kutegemea ahadi za miradi ya maendeleo kutoka kwa serikali ya kitaifa.

Hofu kisa cha pili cha Ebola kikiripotiwa nchini
WIZARA ya Afya imethibitisha kisa cha pili cha Ebola, virusi aina ya Bundibugyo, na kufikisha idadi ya jumla nchini kuwa visa viwili na kifo cha mtu mmoja. Taarifa kutoka kwa Wizara ya Afya iliyofikia Taifa Leo jana ilisema kuwa kisa cha pili kinahusu mwanamume mwenye umri wa miaka 39 ambaye ni jamaa wa karibu wa mgonjwa wa kwanza aliyeaga dunia kutokana na gonjwa hilo wiki iliyopita. Mwanamume huyo aliyekuwa katika karantini ya lazima kwa muda wa siku 21, alipatikana na virusi hivyo kupitia vipimo baada ya kukumbwa na maumivu ya viungo, uchovu na homa, ilisema taarifa hiyo. "Kenya sasa imerekodi visa viwili vilivyothibitishwa na kifo kimoja," alisema Mkurugenzi wa Afya Patrick Amoth. Alisema kuwa mgonjwa huyo sasa amelazwa katika kituo maalum ambapo anahudumiwa na timu ya wahudumu wa afya waliopokea mafunzo chini ya masharti makali ya kuzuia virusi hivyo kusambaa. Alisisitiza, hata hivyo, kuwa ingawa visa viwili vilivyothibitishwa vinahusiana, gonjwa la Ebola halijasambaa kwa sehemu kubwa ya wanajamii. "Visa hivyo viwili vinahusiana na hakuna ushahidi wa kusambaa kwa jamii pana," alisema Dkt Amoth. Kulingana na Dkt Amoth, Wizara ya Afya imepata watu 113 miongoni mwa 128 waliotagusana na mgonjwa wa kwanza, ambapo 108 wamewekwa karantini ili kuangaziwa. Kenya ilitangaza kisa chake cha kwanza kilichoripotiwa na Waziri wa Afya Aden Duale kilichohusu raia wa Kenya aliyeishi katika Jamhuri ya Kidemkrasia ya Congo (DRC) kwa miaka saba. Alianza kuugua kwa karibu mwezi mmoja, akatibiwa katika vituo mbalimbali DRC, kabla ya kusafiri kupitia barabara hadi Kampala, Uganda na mwishowe kuwasili jijini Nairobi, Jumamosi Oktoba 3. Aliaga dunia katika hospitali ya Nairobi Hospital ambapo vipimo katika maabara ya kitaifa na Kemri vilionyesha aliugua virusi vya Ebola aina ya Bundibugyo.

Kazeni mshipi: Bei za mafuta zaongezeka tena
MAMLAKA ya Kudhibiti Kawi na Petroli (EPRA) imeongeza bei ya bidhaa za mafuta katika hatua ambayo imeamsha hisia mseto na kuashiria siku ngumu zijazo kwa Wakenya. Kutokana na hatua hiyo, bei mpya mafuta ya Super Petroli sasa ni Sh226.96 kwa lita, Sh227.85 kwa dizeli na Sh219.87 kwa mafuta ya taa jijini Nairobi. Bei ya mafuta ya taa imeongezeka kwa Sh28.49 huku petroli ikipanda kwa Sh12.93 na dizeli kwa Sh9.90 kwa kila lita. Ongezeko hilo la bei ya bidhaa za mafuta limechangiwa na sababu mbalimbali, ikiwemo machafuko yanayoendelea Mashariki ya Kati kuhusiana na vita vya Israel na Amerika dhidi ya Iran, kulingana na Mkurugenzi wa EPRA, Edward Mwirigi. Aidha, uamuzi wa serikali kusitisha ruzuku ya mafuta umechangia ongezeko la bei. "Septemba imekuwa mwezi mbaya zaidi tangu vita vilipozuka," alisema Bw Mwirigi akihutubia vyombo vya habari. Alifafanua kuwa hatua ya kupunguza ushuru wa ongezeko la thamani (VAT) kwa bidhaa za mafuta kutoka asilimia 16 hadi nane itaendelea kutekelezwa hadi Januari 14 ili kuwalinda Wakenya dhidi ya gharama kubwa za mafuta. Hata hivyo, hatua hiyo huenda isitoshe kuzuia athari za kupanda kwa bei ya mafuta duniani, ambazo tayari zinatishia kuongeza gharama ya maisha nchini. Bei ya mafuta ghafi ya Brent ilipanda na kuvuka Dola 100 kwa pipa mwezi uliopita, huku ikiuzwa kwa Dola 105.98 Jumatano, kutokana na misukosuko iliyotokana na vita Mashariki ya Kati. Mapigano hayo yamevuruga usambazaji wa mafuta baada ya Iran kushambulia miundomsingi muhimu katika eneo la Ghuba, ikiwemo mitambo ya kusafisha mafuta na mabomba ya kusafirisha mafuta. Mafuta ghali yanatarajiwa kuongeza gharama za usafiri, kilimo na uzalishaji viwandani, huku wafanyabiashara na watoa huduma wakitarajiwa kuhamishia gharama hizo kwa wateja. Dizeli ni muhimu katika kuendesha uchumi wa Kenya kwa kuwa hutumika katika magari ya uchukuzi wa umma, mitambo ya kilimo na viwanda. Wakati huo huo, mfumuko wa bei ulifikia asilimia 6.8 mwezi uliopita, kiwango cha juu zaidi tangu Januari 2024, wakati ulipokuwa asilimia 6.9. Serikali pia imeonya kuwa hazina ya ruzuku ya mafuta imekuwa ikipungua kwa kasi kutokana na gharama kubwa ya kudhibiti bei. Ruzuku hiyo hugharimiwa kupitia Ushuru wa Ustawi wa Petroli, unaotozwa kwa bidhaa za mafuta. Hali hii inazua wasiwasi kuwa Wakenya huenda wakakabiliwa na ongezeko zaidi la bei za bidhaa muhimu na huduma katika siku zijazo
