Ziara ya Ruto Nyanza yaacha makovu ODM 

ZIARA ya siku tano ya Rais William Ruto Luo Nyanza wiki iliyopita iliacha makovu ya uhasama na mgawanyiko wa kisiasa kati ya baadhi ya viongozi wa eneo hilo hasa kampeni za uchaguzi mkuu wa 2027 zinavyoendelea kunoga. Rais Ruto alifanya ziara ambayo ilionekana ilifana katika kaunti za Kisumu, Siaya, Migori na Homa Bay ambako alipigia debe azma yake ya kuwahi muhula wa pili. Hata hivyo, baada tu kuondoka, ziara hiyo imezua uhasama kati ya viongozi wa ODM ambao wanalumbana kuhusu siasa za eneo hilo.  Mbunge wa Suba Kaskazini Millie Odhiambo Mabono alimchemkia Gavana Glady Wanga akidai ndiye alihusika na masaibu yake mbele ya Rais. Bi Odhiambo wiki hii alimfokea Gavana Wanga akidai alihusika na kuzomewa kwake katika mkutano ambao viongozi wa Luo Nyanza walikutana na Rais Ruto katika ikulu ndogo ya Kisumu. "Gladys Wanga nakuheshimu kama dadangu mdogo na mwenyekiti wa ODM lakini usichukulie hilo kama jambo la kawaida. Unawatuma watu waje wanidharau na kunishambulia katika eneobunge langu kisha unaketi kitako na kujifanya mzuri," akasema Bi Odhiambo. Mbunge huyo alitishia kuwa huenda akaendesha kampeni kali dhidi ya Bi Wanga iwapo ataendelea kuvamiwa kwenye mikutano anayoandaa sehemu mbalimbali ya Nyanza.  "Nitakukabili, na pia nitawaambia watu hawa wasikupigie kura. Najua unajishasha kwa sababu Rais aliwaambia watu hawa wakupigie kura lakini Rais huwa hapigi kura hapa, "Mimi sijui vita vyovyote vya kujificha na ukiendelea nitaendeleza vita vikali dhidi yako," akaongeza Odhiambo. Mbunge huyo na Bi Wanga wamekuwa na uhusiano vuguvugu hasa kuhusu uongozi wa kaunti na siasa za kitaifa. Bi Odhiambo ni kati ya wabunge Luo Nyanza ambao wamekuwa vuguvugu akionekana kutounga mkono mrengo wa ODM unaoongozwa na Dkt Oburu Oginga au vuguvugu la Linda Mwananchi chini ya Seneta wa Nairobi Edwin Sifuna. Katika mkutano wa Ikulu ndogo ya Kisumu, Bi Odhiambo alikuwa na wakati mgumu kuhutubu huku akipigiwa kelele na umati.  "Alituma watu Kisumu wanizomee, akatuma watu pia katika eneobunge langu wanipigie kelele. Sitaendelea kumvumilia," akasema. Juhudi za kumtaka Gavana Wanga azungumzie madai hayo hazikufaulu ila gavana huyo amekuwa akionekana kuhepa kujibizana na mbunge huyo anayehudumu muhula wake wa nne. Kinaya ni kwamba majibizano hayo yanapoendelea kama Mwenyekiti wa ODM, Bi Wanga ndiye atatia saini cheti cha chama iwapo Bi Odhiambo atapewa tikiti ya kutetea kiti chake kupitia chungwa. Katika Kaunti ya Homa Bay, kuna ushindani mkali wa kiti cha ugavana mnamo 2027 huku Bi Wanga akikabiliwa na kivumbi dhidi ya aliyekuwa Naibu Gavana Oyugi Magwanga. Wawili hao walikosana mwaka jana, Bw Magwanga akajiuzulu na itakumbukwa mnamo 2022, marehemu Raila Odinga alitekeleza jukumu muhimu la kuwapatanisha. Kupitia kupatanishwa na Bw Odinga, Bi Wanga aliishia kugombea ugavana naye Bw Magwanga akikubali kuwa mgombeaji mwenza wake. Katika kaunti jirani ya Migori, ziara ya Rais Ruto imeacha uhasama mkali kati ya Mbunge wa Uriri Mark Nyamita na Gavana Ochilo Ayacko. Bw Nyamita ambaye anahudumu muhula wa pili kupitia ODM analenga ugavana 2027 kupitia chama hicho. Bw Ayacko naye analenga kutetea kiti chake pia kupitia ODM na wawili hao watakabiliana katika mchujo wa chama. "Kazi ya Bw Ayacko ilikuwa kununua vuvuzela kwa vijana ili wazipulize katika mikutano yake ndipo waone kuwa yeye ni maarufu. Baada ya mkutano wa Kisumu, hakuenda Siaya bali alirudi hapa Migori kuhakikisha kuwa vijana wanapewa malori matatu ya vuvuzela," akasema Bw Nyamita.

Ruto asema upinzani 'unampigia debe' kwa kukosoa miradi yake ya maendeleo

RAIS William Ruto amewajibu viongozi wa upinzani wanaokosoa rekodi yake ya maendeleo akisema kwa kufanya hivyo wanasaidia kuitangaza miradi yake kwa wananchi bila malipo. Akizungumza mjini Wundanyi, Kaunti ya Taita Taveta, Jumamosi, Rais Ruto alisema ataendelea kutekeleza miradi ya maendeleo kote nchini licha ya madai kuwa baadhi ya miradi hiyo inafaidi maeneo yanayohusishwa naye kisiasa.
