Changamoto mpya la kusajili Linda Mwananchi ya Sifuna

CHANGAMOTO mpya imeibuka kuhusu umiliki wa jina la chama cha kisiasa cha Linda Mwananchi, huku Bw Charles Wanyonyi akidai kuwa ombi lake la kusajili jina hilo lilitangulia lile linalohusishwa na Seneta wa Nairobi Edwin Sifuna kwa zaidi ya miezi mitatu. Kupitia mawakili wake, Bw Wanyonyi ameandikia Msajili wa Vyama vya Kisiasa akitaka ombi lake lililowasilishwa Februari 24, 2026 lipewe kipaumbele, akisema haliwezi kuondolewa na muombaji aliyefuata baadaye. Hatua hiyo imejiri siku moja baada ya Jopo la Kutatua Mizozo ya Vyama vya Kisiasa kubatilisha uamuzi wa Msajili wa Vyama vya Kisiasa wa kukataa ombi la washirika wa Bw Sifuna la kusajili jina la Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM). Mahakama ilikubali rufaa iliyowasilishwa na Mbunge wa Suba Kusini Caroli Omondi, mwanaharakati Pauline Njoroge na rais wa zamani wa Chama cha Wanasheria Kenya (LSK) Faith Odhiambo. Jopo hilo liliagiza Msajili achunguze upya ombi lao ndani ya siku saba. Kulingana na stakabadhi za kesi, waombaji hao walikuwa wamependekeza majina sita yanayojumuisha maneno "Linda Mwananchi". Majina hayo ni Linda Mwananchi Alliance, Linda Mwananchi Alliance of Kenya, Linda Mwananchi Coalition, Linda Mwananchi Party, Linda Mwananchi Party of Kenya na Linda Mwananchi People's Party. Barua ya Oktoba 1 kutoka kwa kampuni ya mawakili ya Wanzau, Odhiambo Associates inaonyesha kuwa Bw Wanyonyi aliwasilisha ombi la kusajili jina la "Linda Mwananchi Party of Kenya" mnamo Februari 24, 2026, ilhali kundi la Omondi, Njoroge na Odhiambo liliwasilisha ombi lao Juni 4. "Mteja wetu aliwasilisha ombi lake zaidi ya miezi mitatu kabla ya waombaji wengine. Kipaumbele kinachotokana na ombi hilo hakiwezi kuondolewa kisheria na ombi la baadaye lenye jina sawa au linalofanana kwa kiasi kikubwa," mawakili hao walisema. Wamemtaka Msajili kushughulikia na kuhifadhi jina hilo kwa niaba ya Bw Wanyonyi, wakinukuu Kifungu cha 4B cha Sheria ya Vyama vya Kisiasa. Awali, ombi la Bw Wanyonyi lilikataliwa kwa madai kuwa lilifanana na kaulimbiu iliyohifadhiwa ya "Linda Mkenya, Boresha Kenya" pamoja na sababu za maslahi ya umma. Hata hivyo, hakukata rufaa dhidi ya uamuzi huo katika mahakama hiyo. Katika uamuzi wake, mahakama ilisema Msajili hakutoa maelezo ya kutosha kuhusu sababu za maslahi ya umma zilizotumiwa kukataa ombi la kundi la Bw Sifuna. Jopo hilo pia lilichunguza chama cha Liberty National Democratic Alliance (LINDA) na kubaini kuwa hakikuwa chama kilichosajiliwa kikamilifu wala kwa muda. Mahakama ilisema uhifadhi wa jina la LINDA uliisha moja kwa moja baada ya siku 90 tangu ombi lake la Novemba 2025. Pia ikabaini kuwa Msajili hakuwa na mamlaka ya kufufua uhifadhi huo kupitia barua ya Agosti 14, 2026. Aidha, jopo hilo lilikataa hoja kwamba jina la Linda Mwananchi linafanana na kifupi cha LINDA. Lilisema "Linda" ni neno la Kiswahili linalomaanisha kulinda au kutetea, huku LINDA ikiwa kifupi cha Liberty National Democratic Alliance. Mahakama iliongeza kuwa hakukuwa na msingi wa kuzuia usajili wa Linda Mwananchi Movement kwa misingi ya kufanana kwa majina. Ilibatilisha uamuzi wa Msajili wa Agosti 7 na kuagiza ombi la kusajili Linda Mwananchi Movement na kifupi chake LMM lichunguzwe upya ndani ya siku saba. Hata hivyo, barua ya Oktoba 1 sasa imetoa changamoto mpya kwa msajili  kuamua kati ya ombi la awali la Bw Wanyonyi na agizo la mahakama la kushughulikia upya ombi la washirika wa Bw Sifuna.

Mtandao wa biashara haramu ya watoto wavuma Kenya, ripoti yafichua

MTANDAO mkubwa wa biashara haramu ya watoto unaoanzia vijijini na maeneo ya mipakani hadi Nairobi na mataifa ya kigeni unaendeshwa na maajenti, wasafirishaji, mabroka na wakati mwingine maafisa katika taasisi zinazopaswa kulinda watoto, kwa mujibu wa ripoti mpya. Ripoti ya National Crime Research Centre (NCRC) inaonyesha kuwa watoto husafirishwa kupitia barabara kuu na njia za siri, wakibadilishwa magari yanayowabeba mara kadhaa kabla ya kufikishwa kwa wanaowanyanyasa. Utafiti huo, uliopewa jina la Preliminary Findings on a Study on Child Trafficking in Kenya, unaonyesha kuwa baadhi ya maafisa wa polisi na uhamiaji wanapokea hongo ili kuruhusu watoto kuvuka mipaka bila stakabadhi zinazohitajika. Mojawapo ya njia kuu za ulanguzi wa watoto inaanzia Bondo kupitia Nyironge, Uriri, Ulanda, Kopanga, Kogaja, Aganga, Kisii na Sotik kuelekea Nairobi na Mombasa. Njia nyingine inapitia Moyale, Marsabit, Isiolo na Meru hadi Nairobi. Katika Kaunti ya Busia, ripoti inaeleza kuwa watoto huingia nchini kupitia njia za panya kama Sofia kabla ya kubadilishwa mavazi na kuendelea na safari. Kaunti ya Kakamega imetajwa mara kwa mara kama chanzo cha wasichana wanaopelekwa Nairobi kufanya kazi za nyumbani. Wahalifu hao huwateua watoto kulingana na mazingira yao. Watoto waliokatiza masomo huahidiwa kazi, wale kutoka familia maskini huahidiwa ufadhili wa elimu, huku mayatima wakiahidiwa makazi na huduma za malezi. Aidha, wahalifu wanatumia mitandao ya kijamii kama Facebook, TikTok, Instagram na WhatsApp kuwavutia watoto. Katika kisa kimoja Nakuru, mtoto alitumiwa pesa za nauli kupitia M-Pesa na kupewa maelezo ya kusafiri hadi Nairobi na baadaye Garissa. Ripoti hiyo pia imebaini kuwa visa vya biashara haramu ya watoto huongezeka wakati wa likizo za shule na vipindi vya matatizo ya kiuchumi. Miezi ya Januari na Februari ilitajwa kuwa hatari zaidi kutokana na shinikizo la karo za shule. Jambo linalotia wasiwasi ni madai ya ufisadi katika taasisi za serikali. Waliohojiwa katika kaunti za Migori, Narok, Wajir na Garissa walidai baadhi ya maafisa hupokea hongo ili kurahisisha usafirishaji wa watoto. Aidha, baadhi ya familia na jamii hutatiza uchunguzi kwa kusuluhisha kesi nje ya mfumo rasmi wa sheria kupitia maslaha au mahakama zisizo rasmi. Takwimu zilizomo kwenye ripoti zinaonyesha visa vya biashara haramu ya watoto viliongezeka kutoka 1,947 mwaka 2022 hadi 2,322 mwaka 2025. Watoto wenye umri wa kati ya mwaka mmoja na mitano ndio walio katika hatari kubwa huku wasichana wakikabiliwa zaidi na hatari ya unyanyasaji wa kingono, ndoa za kulazimishwa na ajira za nyumbani. Ripoti hiyo pia imeonya kuwa watoto wasio na vyeti vya kuzaliwa huwa rahisi kufichwa na wahalifu kwa sababu ni vigumu kufuatilia utambulisho wao. Nairobi imetajwa kuwa kituo kikuu cha kupokea na kusafirisha watoto, huku mitandao ya biashara hiyo ikienea hadi Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, Somalia, Libya na Saudi Arabia. NCRC imesema kuwa kukabiliana na biashara hiyo kutahitaji zaidi ya kuwaokoa watoto pekee. Inataka uchunguzi ulenge fedha zinazohusika, maajenti, wasafirishaji, wamiliki wa maeneo wanakofichwa na wanaonufaika na unyanyasaji huo ili kuvunja kabisa mtandao huo.
