Sifuna ngangari licha ya misukosuko ya kupata chama
SENETA wa Nairobi Edwin Sifuna anakabiliwa na shinikizo la kupata chama atakachotumia kuwania urais katika uchaguzi wa 2027, huku pia akishughulikia tofauti za kisiasa ndani ya vuguvugu la Linda Mwananchi. Timu yake iko katika Mahakama ya Kutatua Mizozo ya Vyama vya Kisiasa (PPDT), ikipinga uamuzi wa kuhifadhi jina la "Linda" kwa mtu mwingine. Wakati huo huo, baadhi ya viongozi wa upinzani wanamtaka Bw Sifuna awe mgombea mwenza wa kiongozi wa Wiper, Kalonzo Musyoka, katika uchaguzi huo. Hata hivyo, ndani ya Linda Mwananchi kuna viongozi wenye mipango tofauti ya kisiasa, hali inayotishia umoja wa vuguvugu hilo. Mbunge wa Embakasi Mashariki Babu Owino amesajili The Mwananchi Party (TMP), huku Mbunge wa Saboti Caleb Amisi akiondoka na kuunda People's Renaissance Movement (PRM). Bw Sifuna pia ameingia kwenye mzozo na Bw Musyoka baada ya kiongozi huyo kuhifadhi jina la The Ukombozi Alliance (TUA) kupitia Ofisi ya Msajili wa Vyama vya Kisiasa (ORPP). ORPP ilikataa ombi la upande wa Bw Sifuna kubadili jina la United Democratic Party (UDP) kuwa Ukombozi People's Party (UPP), ikisema jina hilo linafanana na TUA. Seneta wa Vihiga Godfrey Osotsi alisema suala la tarehe ya Oktoba 15 iliyowekwa na IEBC halimaanishi Bw Sifuna lazima awe tayari na chama kufikia siku hiyo. Alisema tarehe muhimu kisheria ni Februari 2027, wakati wagombea watapaswa kuwa wanachama wa chama kwa angalau miezi sita kabla ya uchaguzi. Gavana wa Trans Nzoia George Natembeya alisema timu hiyo tayari imekubaliana kuhusu chama kitakachotumiwa na Bw Sifuna na kwamba kitazinduliwa Oktoba 3. Mbunge wa Bumula Wanami Wamboka alisema maandalizi ya uzinduzi yanaendelea na akakanusha madai kwamba Bw Sifuna atakuwa mgombea mwenza wa Bw Musyoka. Alisema mazungumzo pia yanaendelea na chama cha Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) kinachohusishwa na aliyekuwa Naibu wa Rais Rigathi Gachagua kuhusu uwezekano wa ushirikiano. Mbunge wa Funyula Oundo Midenyo alisema licha ya kushindwa kupata jina la Ukombozi, Linda Mwananchi itaendelea na mipango yake na Bw Sifuna atasalia kuwa mgombea wake wa urais. Alisema chama kipya kitazinduliwa kikiwa na nembo na rangi zinazohusishwa na Linda Mwananchi.

Tunataka hivi: Wadau wa elimu wapendekeza mabadiliko makubwa katika Mswada wa elimu 2026
WADAU wa elimu wanataka mabadiliko makubwa katika Mswada wa Elimu ya Msingi wa 2026, ikiwemo kuimarishwa kwa ushiriki wa wazazi, mfumo wa elimu wa 2-6-3-3 kukitwa katika sheria na serikali kubeba kikamilifu gharama ya elimu ya msingi. Mswada huo unapendekeza kuchukua nafasi ya sheria iliyopo kuhusu elimu ya msingi na unahusu usimamizi wa shule, ufadhili, ustawi wa wanafunzi, walimu, ubora wa elimu na data za elimu. Katika mapendekezo yao kwa Bunge kuhusu miswada ya Elimu ya Msingi na Elimu ya Juu, Uteuzi na Ufadhili wa Wanafunzi ya 2026, wadau pia wanataka wazazi wapewe mamlaka zaidi kisheria na mfumo wa usimamizi wa vifaa vya kufunza ufanyiwe mabadiliko. Kundi la Elimu Bora Working Group (EBWG) limehoji sababu za kuwasilisha miswada hiyo kabla ya sera mpya ya kitaifa ya elimu kuidhinishwa. Kundi hilo linataka mfumo wa 2-6-3-3 — miaka miwili ya elimu ya chekechea, sita ya msingi, mitatu ya sekondari msingi na mitatu ya sekondari pevu — uwekwe wazi kwenye sheria. Linasema kuacha mfumo huo uamuliwe kupitia kanuni kunaweza kupatia serikali ijayo nafasi ya kubadilisha mfumo wa elimu bila kuhitaji sheria mpya. EBWG pia inataka vigezo vya kuwaweka wanafunzi katika mikondo ya shule ya upili viwekwe wazi, ikiwemo matokeo, maslahi, uwezo na hatua za kuwasaidia wanafunzi kutoka makundi yaliyotengwa. Kuhusu ufadhili, kundi hilo linataka serikali iwajibike kikamilifu kugharamia miundomsingi, vifaa vya kufunza, chakula, usafi na mahitaji ya wanafunzi wenye ulemavu. Linasema mianya inayoruhusu shule kutoza "ada za ziada" inaweza kutumiwa kurejesha ada kwa jina jingine. Chama cha Kitaifa cha Wazazi (NPA) nacho kinataka kitambuliwe kikamilifu kisheria na kupewa uwezo wa kumiliki mali, kuajiri wafanyakazi, kuendesha akaunti na kushtaki au kushtakiwa kwa jina lake. NPA pia kinataka miundo yake ya uwakilishi kuanzia shuleni hadi kitaifa ihifadhiwe na neno PTA libadilishwe kuwa Parents Associations. Shirika la Education Stakeholders Association of Kenya (ESAK) limependekeza pia lipewe nafasi ya kuteua mwakilishi katika kila Bodi kati ya 47 za Elimu za Kaunti. ESAK linasema wadau wengi wa elimu wameachwa nje ya bodi hizo licha ya kuwa na mchango muhimu katika usimamizi wa elimu ya msingi. Kuhusu elimu ya juu, EBWG inataka serikali iwafadhili kikamilifu wanafunzi na wanafunzi wa mafunzo ya ufundi, huku ufadhili huo ukijumuisha karo, malazi, chakula, vifaa, usafiri, afya na utafiti. Pia linataka mikopo, ruzuku, ufadhili wa masomo na basari zitofautishwe wazi na wanafunzi waendelee kupata ufadhili hadi watakapokamilisha masomo yao.
