Lamu yang'aa kimataifa ndege za kifahari zikitua
KAUNTI ya Lamu imeandika historia mpya baada ya Uwanja wa Ndege wa Manda kupokea safari za ndege za kimataifa kwa mara ya kwanza, hatua inayotarajiwa kufungua fursa mpya za biashara, utalii na uwekezaji kufuatia uwekaji wa jiwe la msingi la ujenzi wa Kiwanda cha Kusafisha Mafuta cha Dangote cha Shilingi trilioni mbili. Mnamo Jumatano, ndege aina ya Boeing 737-800 iliyombeba Waziri Mkuu wa Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed ilitua katika uwanja huo saa nne na dakika arubaini na nne asubuhi. Ndege nyingine zilifika kutoka Nigeria, Ethiopia na Uganda, jambo lililoashiria kuimarika kwa hadhi ya Lamu katika mtandao wa usafiri wa anga wa Afrika Mashariki. Sherehe ya uwekaji wa jiwe la msingi la mradi huo mkubwa pia ilileta ndege za kifahari zikiwemo Gulfstream G500 na G600, Embraer Legacy 600 pamoja na Global Express 900. Helikopta kadhaa nazo zilitua katika eneo la Bandari ya Lamu. Mamlaka ya Viwanja vya Ndege Kenya (KAA) ilisema kupokelewa kwa ndege hizo ni ishara kuwa Lamu sasa inaingia katika jukwaa la kimataifa. Mafanikio hayo yamechangiwa na ukarabati wa njia ya kurukia ndege yenye urefu wa kilomita mbili na upana wa mita 30. Waziri wa Uchukuzi Davis Chirchir alisema serikali imeboresha miundombinu ya uwanja huo na ina mpango wa kuujenga upya kabisa ili kuendana na mahitaji ya baadaye ya eneo la Lapsset na mji mkuu mpya unaotarajiwa kukua Lamu. "Lamu itakuwa mji ambao wengi hawakuwahi kufikiria wangeuona katika maisha yao. Uchumi wake utabadilika pamoja na ule wa Kenya na eneo lote," alisema Chirchir. Wadau wa biashara wanaamini mradi wa Dangote utachochea ukuaji mkubwa wa uchumi wa eneo hilo. Rais wa Chama cha Kitaifa cha Wafanyabiashara na Viwanda Kenya (KNCCI), Dkt Erick Rutto, alisema nafasi za kazi zaidi ya 60,000 zinazotarajiwa kuundwa wakati wa ujenzi zitafungua fursa nyingi kwa wenyeji. Alisema sekta za biashara, uvuvi, makazi na huduma zitanufaika kutokana na ongezeko la wafanyakazi na wageni watakaomiminika Lamu. Gavana wa Lamu Issa Timamy alihakikisha kuwa serikali ya kaunti itashirikiana kikamilifu na wawekezaji ili kuhakikisha mradi huo unafanikiwa. Aliwahimiza wakazi kupata ujuzi utakaowasaidia kupata ajira zinazotarajiwa kuibuka. Hata hivyo, aliwataka wawekezaji kuhakikisha mazingira, mikoko, fukwe na urithi wa kitamaduni wa Lamu unalindwa ipasavyo. Kwa upande wake, bilionea wa Nigeria Aliko Dangote aliahidi kuwa mradi huo utatekelezwa kwa kuzingatia viwango vya juu vya kulinda mazingira huku ukiwafaidi wananchi wa Kenya na Afrika Mashariki. Rais William Ruto alisema Lamu, ambayo kwa miaka mingi imekuwa ikionekana kama eneo lililosahaulika kutokana na idadi ndogo ya wakazi, sasa itakuwa kitovu kipya cha maendeleo ya taifa. Kwa mujibu wa takwimu za sensa ya mwaka 2019, Lamu ndiyo kaunti yenye idadi ndogo zaidi ya watu nchini, ikikadiriwa kuwa na wakazi 175,705 mwaka 2025. Hata hivyo, uwekezaji mkubwa unaoingia katika eneo hilo unatarajiwa kubadilisha sura ya uchumi wake kwa miaka ijayo.

Wabunge watishia kuzima vyombo vya habari kuhusiana na madai ya wizi wa kura
WABUNGE wametishia kufanya mabadiliko yatakayoweka vizuizi kwa uhuru wa vyombo vya habari kutokana na uchapishaji wa madai ambayo hayajathibitishwa kuhusu ukiukaji wa taratibu za uchaguzi kuelekea Uchaguzi Mkuu wa mwaka 2027. Wabunge hao walitaka Baraza la Habari Kenya (MCK) kuchukua hatua dhidi ya vyombo vya habari wanavyolaumu kwa kuwapotosha wananchi kupitia taarifa kuhusu maandalizi ya uchaguzi ujao. Kwa mujibu wa wabunge hao, baadhi ya vyombo vya habari vimekuwa vikichapisha madai yasiyo na ushahidi kuhusu mfumo wa uchaguzi, jambo ambalo linaweza kudhoofisha imani ya wananchi katika matokeo ya uchaguzi na hata kuchochea vurugu. Wakilenga hasa shirika la habari la Standard Group, walidai kuwa limekuwa likitumia majukwaa yake kuendeleza ajenda za kisiasa kupitia taarifa zake za uchaguzi. Hata hivyo, katika toleo lake la Septemba 30, Standard Group ilisema haitatishwa wala kulegeza msimamo wake katika kutekeleza majukumu ya uandishi wa habari. "Kiwango chochote cha vitisho hakitatuzuia kuendelea kutekeleza uandishi wa habari wa hali ya juu. Hatutatishwa wala kulazimishwa kunyamaza," ilisema kampuni hiyo katika taarifa. Kiongozi wa Wachache katika Bunge la Kitaifa, Junet Mohamed, alisema ingawa uhuru wa vyombo vya habari unalindwa na Katiba, kuna wajibu wa kuhakikisha wananchi wanapata taarifa za kweli. "Sote tunatambua uhuru wa vyombo vya habari, lakini hakuna uhuru wa kueneza propaganda zinazowapotosha Wakenya. Kila mwaka tunapitisha bajeti ya MCK lakini taasisi hiyo inaendelea kutazama bila kuchukua hatua," alisema mbunge huyo wa Suna Mashariki. Alisema madai yasiyothibitishwa kuhusu uchaguzi wa 2027 yanaweza kuwafanya wananchi kukosa imani na matokeo ya uchaguzi. Kwa upande wake, Mbunge wa Homa Bay Town, Peter Kaluma, alitaka hatua kali zichukuliwe dhidi ya vyombo vya habari vinavyosambaza taarifa za kupotosha. "Tukiacha hali hii iendelee, tunaweza kujikuta tukifuata mkondo uliosababisha mauaji ya kikabila nchini Rwanda mwaka 1994. Tunahitaji hatua kali na hata uhuru wa vyombo vya habari unaweza kuwekewa mipaka," alisema. Naibu Spika wa Bunge la Kitaifa, Gladys Boss, alisema madai ya mara kwa mara kuhusu wizi wa kura yanaweza kusababisha taharuki na vurugu baada ya uchaguzi. "Tunapoanza kueneza madai kwamba mfumo wa uchaguzi una mianya, wananchi wataacha kuamini matokeo ya mwisho na hali hiyo inaweza kusababisha machafuko," alisema. Bi Boss pia alipinga madai kuwa uchaguzi uliopita uliibwa, akisema aliwahi kushiriki katika uhakiki wa matokeo kwa niaba ya Mahakama ya Juu alipokuwa Msajili Mkuu wa Idara ya Mahakama. Wakati huo huo, mwenyekiti wa Tume Huru ya Uchaguzi na Mipaka (IEBC), Erastus Ethekon, alikanusha madai yaliyosambazwa na baadhi ya vyombo vya habari kwamba tume hiyo imekuwa ikisajili raia wa Uganda kuwa wapigakura nchini Kenya. Bw Ethekon alisema tume imepokea kwa masikitiko taarifa hizo ambazo hazina ushahidi na ambazo zinaweza kudhoofisha imani ya umma katika uadilifu wa uchaguzi. "Hakuna mtu, kundi au taasisi ambayo imewasilisha ushahidi wa kuaminika unaothibitisha madai hayo ya ukiukaji wa sheria," alisema. Aliongeza kuwa ikiwa ushahidi wa kweli utawasilishwa, IEBC itachukua hatua za kinidhamu na za kisheria dhidi ya yeyote atakayebainika kuhusika.
