Kaunti zachukua tahadhari baada ya kisa Nairobi
KISA cha kwanza cha Ebola nchini kilichothibitishwa Nairobi kimezua taharuki na kuchochea kaunti mbalimbali kuimarisha ufuatiliaji wa ugonjwa huo, kufufua vituo vya kutenga wagonjwa na kuwaandaa wahudumu wa afya kukabiliana na visa vinavyoweza kujitokeza. Hatua hizo zinalenga kukagua watu na bidhaa kupitia barabara kuu, mipaka, bandari, viwanja vya ndege na vituo vya utalii, hali inayoongeza hatari ya virusi kusambaa kwa kasi endapo tahadhari hazitachukuliwa. Mombasa ni miongoni mwa kaunti zinazochukuliwa kuwa katika hatari kubwa kutokana na nafasi yake kama lango kuu la biashara ya kikanda. Ukaguzi wa madereva wa malori ya masafa marefu unatarajiwa kuanza hivi karibuni. Afisa wa kituo cha operesheni za dharura cha Port Reitz, Fatma Ali, alisema wahudumu wa afya wamewekwa katika hali ya tahadhari katika maeneo muhimu, ikiwemo Bandari ya Mombasa, Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Moi na barabara zinazotumiwa na malori ya mizigo kutoka nchi jirani. "Tunapanua kampeni za kutoa elimu kwa umma kuhusu jinsi ya kujikinga na Ebola, umuhimu wa kutafuta matibabu mapema na kukabiliana na taarifa potovu zinazoweza kudhoofisha juhudi za kukabili ugonjwa huu," alisema Bi Ali. Wahudumu wa afya pia wamefanya mazoezi ya kukabiliana na mlipuko wa Ebola, yakilenga kutenga wagonjwa, kufuatilia waliowasiliana nao, kuchukua sampuli na kukabiliana na dharura. Hata hivyo, uchunguzi wa Taifa Leo ulibaini kuwa kituo kimoja cha kutenga wagonjwa cha Port Reitz kiko katika hali isiyoridhisha, huku eneo la kuingia likiwa limezungukwa na vichaka vilivyomea. Madereva wa malori ya masafa marefu pia wamelalamika kuwa hawajahusishwa vya kutosha katika maandalizi hayo. Katibu Mkuu wa Chama cha Madereva na Makondakta wa Masafa Marefu, Roman Waema, alitaka serikali kuwashirikisha badala ya kuweka hatua zinazoweza kutatiza biashara kwenye Barabara Kuu. "Tuko hatarini. Tunasikia mengi kuhusu Ebola kwenye vyombo vya habari, ilhali tunasafiri kila siku nje ya nchi, hata DRC. Tunaomba serikali itushirikishe na kutusaidia kuchukua hatua bora za kujilinda," alisema Bw Waema. Kaunti nyingi zimeanza kutumia tena vituo vya kutenga wagonjwa vilivyoanzishwa wakati wa Covid-19 kama vituo vya karantini vya Ebola. Homa Bay imefufua vituo kadhaa, huku Mkurugenzi wa Huduma za Matibabu katika Kaunti hiyo, Amos Dulo, akisema vimekaguliwa na kuthibitishwa kuwa vinaweza kuhudumia wanaoshukiwa kuambukizwa. Vituo hivyo ni pamoja na Malela, Nyagoro, Pala Koguta, Ober, Nyangiela na Kandiege. Homa Bay iko katika eneo linalohusiana kwa karibu na Uganda kupitia Ziwa Victoria, ambako watu huvuka kati ya nchi hizo mbili, hali inayoongeza hofu ya kusambaa kwa magonjwa ya kuambukiza. Huko Eldoret, Hospitali ya Mafunzo na Rufaa ya Moi (MTRH) imeanzisha kituo maalumu cha kutenga wagonjwa pamoja na kikosi cha kukabiliana na dharura. Afisa Mkuu Mtendaji wa hospitali hiyo, Dkt Philip Kirwa, alisema kituo hicho kina uwezo wa kuhudumia hadi wagonjwa 24 wanaoshukiwa kuwa na Ebola. "Kituo hicho pia hutumika kama cha wagonjwa mahututi na kina vifaa vya kisasa vya kudhibiti kusambaa kwa virusi na kuhakikisha usalama wa wahudumu wa afya," alisema Dkt Kirwa. Katika Kirinyaga, Mkurugenzi wa Matibabu wa Kaunti, Dkt Hesbon Gakuo, alisema wodi ya kutenga wagonjwa katika Hospitali ya Rufaa ya Kerugoya inaweza kuhifadhi wagonjwa 13. Aliwataka wakazi wenye homa, maumivu makali ya kichwa, kutapika, kuhara au kutokwa damu bila sababu kufika hospitalini haraka. "Tumeanzisha timu zetu za dharura na tuko tayari iwapo kutakuwa na mlipuko," alisema. Kaunti za Nakuru, Kericho, Nyandarua, Narok na Bomet pia zimeimarisha maandalizi. Bomet imetenga vituo katika Hospitali ya Rufaa ya Longisa na hospitali za maeneo bunge. Nakuru imeshirikisha wahamasishaji wa afya ya jamii na viongozi 36 wa dini kutoa elimu kuhusu Ebola na kusaidia kubaini visa vinavyoshukiwa. Hatua hizi zimechukuliwa baada ya Wizara ya Afya kuthibitisha kisa cha kwanza cha Ebola aina ya Bundibugyo nchini. Mgonjwa huyo, raia wa Kenya aliyekuwa akiishi Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo (DRC), alianza kuugua akiwa DRC kabla ya kusafiri kwa barabara hadi Kampala na baadaye kwa ndege hadi Nairobi, ambako alitengwa na kupimwa na kuthibitishwa kuwa na virusi. Shirika la Afya Duniani (WHO) limetangaza mlipuko wa Ebola Bundibugyo nchini DRC na Uganda kuwa dharura ya afya ya umma kutokana na hatari ya kusambaa kimataifa. WHO iliripoti visa 5,794 vilivyothibitishwa na vifo 2,786 kufikia Agosti 26, huku Ituri, DRC, ikiwa kitovu cha mlipuko huo. Bundibugyo ni aina ya Ebola ambayo haina chanjo au dawa maalumu iliyoidhinishwa kwa sasa, kwa mujibu wa WHO.

Uhuru ajiuzulu Azimio, Ukombozi Alliance yamrai Gachagua
RAIS mstaafu Uhuru Kenyatta amejiuzulu rasmi kama mwenyekiti wa Baraza la Muungano wa Azimio la Umoja, hatua inayofungua ukurasa mpya katika juhudi za kuunda upya muungano wa upinzani kuelekea uchaguzi wa 2027. Uhuru alitangaza kujiuzulu kupitia barua ya Oktoba 5, 2026, huku muungano huo ukibadilisha jina na sasa kujulikana kama The Ukombozi Alliance (TUA). Kiongozi wa Wiper Patriotic Front, Kalonzo Musyoka, anaendesha mchakato wa kuwarai viongozi wengine wa upinzani, akiwemo kiongozi wa DCP Rigathi Gachagua na Gavana wa Siaya James Orengo. Majina ya Gachagua na Orengo yalijadiliwa katika mkutano wa muungano huo Jumatano ulioongozwa na Kalonzo. "Mashauriano yanaendelea kuhusu nani atashikilia nafasi hiyo. Kwa kiasi kikubwa tumekubaliana iwe Gachagua au Gavana Orengo," alisema afisa mmoja aliyehudhuria mkutano huo. Orengo anadaiwa kukubali kuchukua nafasi hiyo, huku jina la Gachagua likiibuka kutokana na nafasi yake katika siasa za upinzani. Juhudi za kumshawishi Gachagua zinafanyika wakati ambao DCP imekuwa ikionyesha nia ya kujenga ngome yake kisiasa kabla ya kufanya mazungumzo na vyama vingine vya upinzani. Vilevile, kundi la Linda Mwananchi linaloongozwa na Seneta wa Nairobi Edwin Sifuna limewahi kukataa mwaliko wa kujiunga na muungano huo. Mzozo mkubwa ni kipengele cha makubaliano ya muungano kinachotaja kiongozi wa chama kuwa mgombea wake wa urais moja kwa moja. Kalonzo aliteuliwa na Uhuru kuwa kiongozi wa muungano huo Februari, akichukua nafasi ya marehemu Raila Odinga, aliyekuwa mgombea wa urais wa Azimio katika uchaguzi wa 2022. Katika barua yake, Uhuru alisema kujiuzulu hakumaanishi ameondoka katika safari ya kisiasa ya upinzani. "Nasalia, kama kawaida, mwanachama aliyejitolea wa familia ya Azimio, tayari kuunga mkono taasisi hiyo kutoka safu za chini na kutoa ushauri nitakapohitajika," alisema. Kalonzo alisema Uhuru amekuwa nguzo muhimu ya muungano huo na bado ni mwanachama wake. Alisema jina The Ukombozi Alliance limehifadhiwa na Ofisi ya Msajili wa Vyama vya Kisiasa (ORPP), huku mchakato wa kutimiza masharti ya usajili ukiendelea. Muungano huo unalenga kutumia mfumo unaofanana na ule wa NARC uliomsaidia Mwai Kibaki kushinda urais mwaka 2002. Chini ya mfumo huo, vyama vitaendelea kuhifadhi majina yao lakini kuunga mkono mgombea mmoja wa urais na ajenda ya pamoja. Mchambuzi wa siasa Prof David Monda alisema mafanikio ya mpango huo yatategemea iwapo viongozi wengine wa upinzani watakubali kujiunga na muungano huo na kumuunga mkono Kalonzo kama mgombea wa urais. Alisema hatua ya kubadili jina inalenga kuupa muungano sura mpya na kujaribu kuwavutia vijana kuelekea uchaguzi wa 2027.

Kilio cha wahudumu wa afya chaonyesha Kenya haikuwa imejipanga kukabiliana na Ebola
WAHUDUMU wa afya wameibua wasiwasi kuhusu uwezo wa Kenya kukabiliana na Ebola baada ya kisa cha ugonjwa huo kuthibitishwa nchini, wakidai kuna upungufu wa vifaa vya kujikinga, vituo vya kutenga wagonjwa na ufuatiliaji katika maeneo ya kuingilia nchini. Mgonjwa huyo, raia wa Kenya aliyekuwa akiishi Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo (DRC), alifariki Oktoba 6. Hata hivyo, Shirika la Afya Duniani (WHO) lilisema maandalizi ya Kenya yameimarika kutoka asilimia 66 hadi 82 kufikia Julai 2026. WHO pia ilisema Kenya imeendesha mafunzo kwa wahudumu wa afya, hasa wale wanaohusika na kukabiliana na dharura na wanaofanya kazi katika maeneo ya mipakani. Lakini Katibu Mkuu wa Muungano wa Madaktari, Wafamasia na Madaktari wa Meno Kenya (KMPDU), Dk Davji Atella, alisema hali halisi ni tofauti. Alisema kisa hicho kimezua hofu miongoni mwa wahudumu wa afya na wananchi, huku kukiwa na upungufu wa wafanyakazi. "Maandalizi hayawezi kuwa ya kufikiriwa tu, lazima yaonekane kwa vitendo. Serikali inapaswa kuweka mahitaji yote muhimu," alisema. Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa KMPDU, Dkt Dennis Miskellah, alisema vituo vya kutenga wagonjwa lazima viwe na vifaa vya kutosha, huku wahudumu wakipewa vifaa vya kujikinga. "Tunazungumzia maandalizi gani wakati baadhi ya kaunti zinasema glavu zimeisha? Maji ya kusaidia wagonjwa walio katika hali mbaya hayatoshi. Je, tuna damu ya kutosha, hasa kwa ugonjwa kama Ebola unaosababisha kuvuja damu?" aliuliza. Katibu Mkuu wa Chama cha Maafisa wa Afya ya Umma, Mohamed Duba, alisema ufuatiliaji katika vituo vya kuingilia nchini unahitaji kuimarishwa. Alisema baadhi ya mashine za kupima joto hazifanyi kazi, huku vituo vingi vya kuingilia vikikosa vyumba vya kutenga wanaoshukiwa kuambukizwa. "Port Health haiwezi kuchukuliwa kama kazi ya pembeni. Kenya inahitaji maafisa wa afya ya umma waliohitimu, vifaa, vifaa kinga (PPE), vituo vya kutenga wagonjwa na mfumo madhubuti wa ufuatiliaji," alisema. Duba alisema madaktari, wauguzi, wataalamu wa maabara, wataalamu wa magonjwa, na maafisa wa afya ya umma wanapaswa kufanya kazi kwa pamoja wakati wa mlipuko wa maradhi. Hata hivyo, alisisitiza kuwa ushirikiano wa wataalamu hao haumaanishi kwamba kila mmoja anaweza kufanya kazi za mwenzake, akisema kila moja inapaswa kutekeleza majukumu kulingana na taaluma na sheria zinazoiongoza. Duba pia alitaka kuwe na mfumo wazi wa kuanzishwa kwa Kituo cha Kudhibiti na Kuzuia Magonjwa Kenya (KCDC), akisema taasisi hiyo inapaswa kupewa jukumu kubwa la kuzuia milipuko badala ya kusubiri magonjwa yazuke ndipo hatua zichukuliwe. " KCDC imara inapaswa kubaini hatari mapema, kuzuia maambukizi, kuimarisha ufuatiliaji, kulinda jamii na kuratibu hatua kabla milipuko haijageuka kuwa dharura," alisema. Alisema nguvu ya mfumo wa afya ya umma nchini haipaswi kupimwa tu kwa uwezo wa kukabiliana na milipuko inapotokea, bali pia kwa namna unavyoweza kuzuia ugonjwa usisambae na kuwa janga kubwa. Duba pia alikosoa serikali ya kitaifa kwa kushindwa kujaza nafasi za maafisa wa afya ya umma waliostaafu au kuondoka kazini. Alisema hali hiyo imewaacha wengi waliohitimu taaluma hiyo bila ajira huku mfumo wa afya ya umma ukidhoofika kutokana na uhaba wa wafanyakazi. "Hatuhitaji bajeti mpya; tunachohitaji ni kuwabadilisha wale walioondoka kazini," alisema. Wakati huo huo, Katibu Mkuu wa Chama cha Afya ya Umma Kenya, Brown Ashira, alisema maafisa wa afya ya umma wamekuwa wakipuuzwa licha ya kuwa mstari wa mbele katika kukabiliana na magonjwa ya kuambukiza. "Covid iliingia nchini kupitia ndege, na Ebola pia imeingia kwa njia hiyo. Historia inajirudia," alisema. Katibu Mkuu wa Chama cha Wataalamu wa Maabara Kenya, Pius Nyakundi, pia alisema maafisa wa maabara wako katika hatari ya kuambukizwa, lakini malalamiko yao hayajapewa uzito unaostahili.
