Magavana wanane walemewa na madeni ya mabilioni waliyorithi kutoka kwa watangulizi wao
RIPOTI mpya ya Mdhibiti wa Bajeti imeibua wasiwasi kuhusu ongezeko la madeni katika serikali za kaunti, huku magavana wanane wa muhula wao wa kwanza wakishindwa kulipa yale ya zamani ya thamani ya zaidi ya Sh70.2 bilioni waliyorithi kutoka kwa waliowatangulia. Ripoti ya Mdhibiti wa Bajeti Margaret Nyakang'o inaonyesha kuwa madeni hayo, yanayohusu wafanyakazi, wakandarasi na wasambazaji wa bidhaa, hayajalipwa kwa zaidi ya miaka mitatu licha ya serikali za kaunti kuendelea kutumia fedha nyingi kwa mishahara na matumizi ya kawaida. Kaunti zilizoathirika zaidi ni Mombasa, Wajir, Nairobi, Kiambu, Embu, Machakos, Garissa na Taita Taveta, ambapo zaidi ya nusu ya madeni yao hayajalipwa kwa zaidi ya miaka mitatu. Kaunti ya Nairobi chini ya Gavana Johnson Sakaja inaongoza kwa deni la kihistoria la Sh49 bilioni, ikifuatwa na Kiambu iliyo na Sh3.2 bilioni, Mombasa Sh2.95 bilioni, Wajir Sh1.9 bilioni, Machakos Sh1.39 bilioni, Taita Taveta Sh1.2 bilioni, Embu Sh822.3 milioni na Garissa Sh182.98 milioni. Ripoti hiyo imechapishwa huku uchaguzi mkuu wa 2027 ukikaribia, na inaonyesha kwamba hali ya madeni katika kaunti nyingi imeendelea kuwa mbaya zaidi. Tangu uchaguzi wa 2022, kaunti zimekusanya madeni mapya yanayozidi Sh95.4 bilioni. Kaunti ya Mandera ndiyo iliyoongoza kwa madeni mapya ya Sh2.2 bilioni katika mwaka mmoja wa kifedha, ikifuatiwa na Machakos, Kilifi, Turkana, Kiambu na Meru. Kwa ujumla, serikali za kaunti zilikuwa na madeni ambayo hayajalipwa ya jumla ya Sh172.5 bilioni kufikia Juni 30, 2026. Zaidi ya nusu ya kiasi hicho kinatokana na Kaunti ya Nairobi pekee, ambayo ina madeni ya Sh86.9 bilioni. Ripoti pia imeonyesha kuwa kaunti zilitumia Sh369.9 bilioni kwa mishahara na matumizi ya kawaida katika mwaka wa fedha uliomalizika Juni 2026, huku zikielekeza Sh126.7 bilioni pekee kwa miradi ya maendeleo. Hali hiyo imesababisha baadhi ya kaunti kushindwa kutekeleza miradi muhimu. Jumla ya miradi 128 ya thamani ya Sh6.3 bilioni imekwama nchini. Nairobi inaongoza kwa miradi 57 iliyokwama ya thamani ya Sh2.24 bilioni, ikifuatiwa na Isiolo. Aidha, madeni ya mishahara na makato ya kisheria ambayo hayajawasilishwa yanakadiriwa kufikia Sh100.2 bilioni, huku zaidi ya Sh52 bilioni ya kiasi hicho ikiwa imekwama kwa zaidi ya miaka mitatu. Hali hiyo imezua hofu kuwa baadhi ya wafanyakazi wanaweza kuathiriwa wanapostaafu kwa sababu fedha zao za pensheni hazijawasilishwa inavyotakiwa. Dkt Nyakang'o ametaka serikali za kaunti kuweka kipaumbele katika kulipa madeni yaliyopo na kuongeza matumizi kwa miradi ya maendeleo badala ya kuelekeza sehemu kubwa ya mapato kwa mishahara na matumizi ya kawaida.

Wagonjwa hatarini: Jinsi dawa zenye dosari hupenya Kenya
MGONJWA anapoingia hospitalini hupokea matibabu akiamini dawa alizopewa ni salama na zenye ubora unaostahili. Hata hivyo, uchunguzi unaonyesha kuwa baadhi ya dawa zenye kasoro huingia katika mfumo wa afya na kuwafikia wagonjwa kabla ya dosari zake kugunduliwa. Mwaka huu pekee, Bodi ya Dawa na Sumu Kenya (PPB) imetoa maagizo 16 ya kuondoa sokoni dawa na bidhaa za matibabu zinazoshukiwa kuwa na matatizo ya ubora. Dawa hizo zimehusisha za kugadisha, vifaa vya pumu, dawa za tumbo na bidhaa nyingine muhimu zinazotumiwa hospitalini kila siku. Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa PPB, Dkt Ahmed Mohamed, amesema ongezeko la visa vya kuondolewa kwa dawa sokoni linaonyesha kuwa mifumo ya ufuatiliaji imeimarika na sasa inafanikiwa kugundua matatizo ambayo hapo awali yangeweza kupita bila kugunduliwa. Kwa mujibu wa uchunguzi huo, changamoto inaanzia katika hatua mbalimbali za mfumo wa ugavi wa dawa. Baadhi ya dosari hutokana na utengenezaji katika viwanda vya nje ya nchi, huku nyingine zikisababishwa na hali mbaya ya uhifadhi au usafirishaji wa dawa kabla hazijamfikia mgonjwa. Dawa nyingi zilizoondolewa sokoni mwaka huu zilitengenezwa katika nchi za kigeni, hasa India. Kampuni kadhaa zilihusishwa na matatizo kama kubadilika kwa rangi ya dawa, kushindwa kufikia viwango vya kemikali vinavyohitajika au kuwepo kwa hitilafu zinazoweza kuhatarisha afya ya watumiaji. Mfamasia wa viwandani katika Hospitali ya Mafunzo, Rufaa na Utafiti ya Chuo Kikuu cha Kenyatta (KUTTRH), Dkt Lonary Ngetich, anasema dawa zinazotengenezwa Kenya mara nyingi huondolewa sokoni kutokana na hitilafu zinazoonekana kwa macho kama uchafu. Kinyume chake, dawa nyingi za nje huonyesha matatizo ya kemikali yanayoweza kugunduliwa tu kupitia maabara. Anasema hata dawa inayotoka kiwandani ikiwa katika hali nzuri inaweza kuharibika kutokana na joto kali, unyevunyevu au uhifadhi usiofaa wakati wa usafirishaji na usambazaji. Madhara ya dawa hizo kwa wagonjwa yanaweza kuwa makubwa. Dawa zisizo na kiwango sahihi cha kemikali zinaweza kusababisha ugonjwa kuendelea kuenea, viungo vya mwili kutofanya kazi au hata kifo. Aidha, matumizi ya dawa hafifu yanaweza kuongeza tatizo la dawa, ambapo bakteria na vimelea hujenga uwezo dhidi ya dawa. Ingawa PPB ina mifumo ya kupokea ripoti kutoka kwa wahudumu wa afya na wananchi, wataalamu wanaonya kuwa mara nyingi dosari hugunduliwa baada ya wagonjwa tayari kutumia dawa hizo. Ili kudhibiti hali hiyo, serikali inatekeleza Mpango wa Kitaifa wa Kukabiliana na Dawa Hafifu na Bandia. Mpango huo unalenga kuimarisha usimamizi wa mfumo wa ugavi, kuboresha ufuatiliaji wa soko na kuhakikisha ni dawa salama pekee zinawafikia Wakenya. Kulingana na takwimu za PPB, visa vya dawa zenye kasoro vilivyoripotiwa viliongezeka kutoka 42 mwaka 2021 hadi 85 mwaka 2023 kabla ya kupungua katika miaka iliyofuata. Aidha, bidhaa bandia zilianza kugunduliwa mwaka 2023. Hata hivyo, kiwango halisi cha wagonjwa walioathiriwa na dawa hizo bado hakijabainishwa rasmi.
