Gikaria matatani kwa madai ya kutoa hongo Ol Kalou akipigia debe mwaniaji wa UDA
MBUNGE wa Embakasi Mashariki David Gikaria alipewa hadi saa saba unusu kufika mbele ya Kamati ya Maadili na Nidhamu ya Tume Huru ya Uchaguzi na Mipaka Nchini (IEBC) baada ya kukosa kufanya hivyo licha ya kuitwa hapo awali. Kamati hiyo inayoongozwa na Dkt Alutalala Mukhwana ilisitisha shughuli zake baada ya mbunge huyo kumtuma msaidizi wake Joseph Kariuki Nelima kumwakilisha katika kikao hicho. Kwenye uamuzi wake, Dkt Mukhwana alisema hawakuridhishwa na sababu zilizotolewa na msaidizi huyo kuhusu kutofika kwa Bw Gikaria. "Hatujaridhishwa na sababu zake kuhusu kutofika kikaoni kuhusu suala hili. Kwa hivyo, tunasitisha shughuli za kamati hii ili kumpa Bw Gikaria nafasi ya kusikizwa," akasema Dkt Mukhwana. Bw Gikaria anakabiliwa na dai la kukiuka mwongozo wa IEBC kuhusu uchaguzi mdogo. Inadaiwa alishiriki utoaji hongo kwa wapigakura alipokuwa akimfanyia kampeni mgombeaji wa UDA Samuel Muchina Nyaga. Kupitia msaidizi wake wa kibinafsi, Bw Gikaria aliambia kamati hiyo kwamba alikuwa mgonjwa na ni sadfa alitakiwa kufika mbele ya kamati wakati ambapo alikuwa amwone daktari wake. Mbunge huyo pia alidai kuwa hakuwasilishiwa malalamishi dhidi yake kwa njia inayofaa akisema alifahamu suala hilo kupitia mtandao wa kijamii. "IEBC inafaa kufuata sheria. Mimi ni mgonjwa na nina miadi na daktari," akasema Bw Gikaria.

Vita vya mamlaka Senegal korti ikizima Sonko kumvua Faye madaraka kupitia bunge
DAKAR, Senegal: MAHAKAMA ya Juu ya Senegal imeondoa marekebisho kwenye katiba ya taifa hilo ambayo yangebadilisha usawazishaji wa mamlaka serikalini. Korti ilibaini kuwa marekebisho hayo yaliyopitishwa na kuidhinishwa na Bunge la Kitaifa mnamo Juni 29, yalienda kinyume na katiba. Kati ya marekebisho hayo yalikuwa yale ya kumzuia rais aliye madarakani kuhudumu kama kiongozi wa chama cha kisiasa. Rais wa Senegal Bassirou Diomaye Faye wiki jana alisema alikuwa anapanga kuanzisha chama chake cha kisiasa. Shinikizo za kubadilisha katiba zimekuwa zikiendeshwa na chama tawala cha Pastef ambacho kinaongozwa na Spika na aliyekuwa Waziri Mkuu Ousmane Sonko. Wakosoaji wanasema marekebisho hayo yalikuwa njama ya mrengo wa Sonko kutwaa mamlaka. Faye alimtimua Sonko kama mkuu wa serikali mnamo Mei. Mahakama hiyo ya kikatiba ilisema Faye aliiomba iangazie marekebisho hayo na ibaini iwapo wanasiasa wa upinzani walikuwa wamefuata sheria. Uhasama kati ya Sonko na Faye ambao walikuwa washirika wa zamani, huenda ukakwamisha juhudi za Senegal za kupata suluhu kuhusu malipo ya madeni mengi ambayo yameisakama. Sonko alisema anaheshimu uamuzi wa mahakama.

Bei ya mafuta yaanza kupanda tena baada ya Amerika kurejelea vita na Iran
TEHRAN, Iran: MASHAMBULIZI baina ya wanajeshi wa Amerika na Iran yaliyoendelea tokea wikendi yamechangia kupanda tena kwa bei ya mafuta ulimwenguni. Iran ililenga vituo vya kijeshi vya Amerika katika eneo la Ghuba na kutangaza kuwa imefunga tena Mlango-bahari wa Hormuz. Wanajeshi wa Iran Jumatatu walisema walilenga kambi za jeshi la Amerika nchini Bahrain na Kuwait na kuharibu vifaa vya kijeshi nchini Oman. Pia Iran ilishambulia ghala la silaha katika kambi ya jeshi la Anga la Prince Hassan nchini Jordan huku ikilipiza kisasi shambulizi lolote linalotekelezwa na Amerika. Amerika nayo ilishambulia mifumo ya ulinzi wa anga ya Iran, kambi ya jeshi pwani na boti za kijeshi. Ilitumia ndege za kivita, meli za kijeshi na ndege zisizo na rubani (droni). Mapigano hayo yanaonyesha kuwa muafaka wa kusitisha vita kati ya nchi hizo mbili sasa umekiukwa. Muafaka huo uliafikiwa mnamo Juni na ulilenga kufungua Mlango-bahari wa Hormuz na kusitisha vita kabisa kwa siku 60. Katika mahojiano mafupi na Reuters Jumapili, Rais wa Amerika Donald Trump alitabiri kuwa mara hii watalemea Iran katika vita hivyo. "Tunawashinda vibaya," akasema Trump. Kiongozi huyo tayari ameweka wazi kuwa hatilii manani muafaka uliotiwa saini ambao anasema umekufa japo akasema iwapo Iran inataka kunusurika bado kutakuwa na mazungumzo. Mwakilishi wa Iran kwenye mazungumzo na Amerika, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf amesema kuwa wapo tayari kwa vita na hawatakubali kuhadaiwa tena. "Enzi za makubaliano yanayoegemea upande mmoja zimekwisha. Tuliwaambia watimize ahadi zeo au walipe gharama na sasa ukweli unaonekana," akasema. Vita vilivyoanzishwa na Amerika-Israel dhidi ya Iran mnamo Februari 28 vimevuruga usalama katika eneo la Ghuba na kuenea katika Mashariki ya Kati. Iran imeonyesha uwezo mkubwa wa kijeshi na umekuwa ukishambulia kambi za wanajeshi wa Amerika Mashariki ya Kati. Vita hivyo vimesababisha maelfu ya watu kuuawa, wengi wao wakiwa Iran na Lebanon. Iran imezima shughuli katika Strait of Hormuz na sasa kando na bei ya mafuta kupanda kuna mfumuko wa bei ya bidhaa kote ulimwenguni. Aidha Iran inasisitiza kuwa itafungua mkondo huo na kuruhusu meli za kupitisha mafuta iwapo Amerika itazima shughuli za kijeshi katika Pwani yake.
