Barua mbili zaibuka kuhusu usajili wa jina 'Ukombozi' linalogonganisha Sifuna na Kalonzo
BARUA mbili zinazokinzana zinazodaiwa kuhifadhi jina la 'Ukombozi' kwa makundi mawili tofauti zimeweka Ofisi ya Msajili wa Vyama vya Kisiasa (ORPP) katikati ya mzozo mpya unaowahusu kiongozi wa Wiper Patriotic Movement Kalonzo Musyoka na Seneta wa Nairobi Edwin Sifuna. Washirika wa Bw Sifuna jana walidai kulikuwa na njama baada ya Bw Musyoka kuzindua The Ukombozi Alliance (TUA), baada ya kufanikiwa kuhifadhi jina hilo katika ORPP. Bw Musyoka na viongozi wenzake wa upinzani wamebadilisha jina la Azimio La Umoja One Coalition kuwa TUA wanapojiandaa kwa uchaguzi wa urais wa 2027. Barua ya Msajili wa Vyama vya Kisiasa John Cox Lorionokou ya Septemba 8, 2026 ilikataa ombi la kundi la Bw Sifuna la kubadilisha jina la United Democratic Party (UDP) kuwa 'Ukombozi People's Party (UPP),' ikisema linafanana na 'The Ukombozi Alliance (TUA). Bw Lorionokou alisema TUA lilihifadhiwa Julai 20, 2026. Hata hivyo, vuguvugu la Linda Mwananchi baadaye liliweka wazi barua nyingine ya ORPP ambayo inadaiwa kuidhinisha kuhifadhiwa kwa jina hilo na Bw Allan Akivaga. "Maombi yenu yamezingatiwa kwa mujibu wa sheria na jina Ukombozi People's Party (UPP) limeidhinishwa. Uhifadhi wa jina hilo utakuwa kwa kipindi kisichozidi siku 90 kuanzia tarehe ya barua hii," ORPP ilisema katika barua ya Machi 13, 2025. Katika mahojiano ya hivi majuzi na Taifa Leo, Bw Lorionokou alithibitisha kuwa UPP lilikuwa limehifadhiwa na Bw Akivaga. "UPP ni chama ambacho nadhani kiliomba mwezi Machi 2025 kuwa chama cha kisiasa na kimekuwa katika mchakato. Katika rekodi zangu, UPP ni jina lililohifadhiwa kwa chama cha kisiasa ambacho kiko katika mchakato wa kusajiliwa," Bw Lorionokou alisema. Mbunge wa Funyula Oundo Midenyo alisema "mbinu za kuwapotosha watu zinazotumiwa na serikali" hazitazuia azma ya Bw Sifuna na akasema kundi hilo litakuwa na chama ifikapo Jumatatu ijayo. "Tumepoteza Ukombozi Party lakini hata mtoto wako akifa unaendelea kuishi na hilo ndilo tutakalofanya. Kuna vyama vingi sana kwa hivyo hatuna wasiwasi. Nataka kuwahakikishia wafuasi wetu kwamba chama kipya bado kitakuwa na nembo ya Linda Mwananchi na pia rangi zake. Hatujakata tamaa hata kidogo," Bw Oundo alisema. Hata hivyo, msemaji wa Wiper Ndegwa Njiru alimtetea Bw Musyoka dhidi ya madai kwamba anapanga njama dhidi ya Bw Sifuna. Alisema Bw Musyoka amekuwa akitumia kauli 'Komboa Kenya' tangu 2025. "Rekodi zinaonyesha kwamba mapema Aprili 2025, wakati Sifuna bado alikuwa Katibu Mkuu wa ODM, Musyoka alikuwa tayari ametumia na kutangaza kauli hiyo. Neno Ukomboa ndilo limezaa Ukombozi," Bw Njiru alisema. Kiongozi wa Democratic Action Party-Kenya (DAP-K) Eugene Wamalwa pia aliambia Nation kwamba Azimio lilihifadhi jina hilo kabla ya Bw Natembeya kuanza mchakato wa kubadilisha jina la UDP. "Jina hilo tayari limeidhinishwa na Msajili wa Vyama vya Kisiasa. Tuliomba kuhifadhi The Ukombozi Alliance zamani kabla ya mpango wa kubadilisha jina la chama cha Jirongo kuwa Ukombozi People's Party," Bw Wamalwa alisema. Kuwepo kwa Gavana wa Siaya James Orengo na Mbunge wa Suba South Caroli Omondi wakati wa uzinduzi wa muungano huo mpya pia kumekuwa kukichunguzwa kwa karibu na baadhi ya washirika wa Bw Sifuna. Gavana Orengo na Bw Omondi ni wanachama wa Linda Mwananchi. Hata hivyo, Bw Caroli pia ni Katibu Mkuu wa muungano wa Azimio, ambao sasa umepewa jina TUA. Taifa Leo imefahamu kuhusu mipango ya kumteua Bw Orengo kuchukua nafasi ya Rais mstaafu Uhuru Kenyatta kama mwenyekiti wa muungano huo. Bw Kenyatta Jumanne alijiuzulu rasmi kama kiongozi wa Jubilee Party. Pia anatarajiwa kujiuzulu kama mwenyekiti wa muungano huo ili kutoa nafasi kwa mabadiliko zaidi. "Linda Mwananchi haitawahi kuwa sehemu ya Azimio na Edwin Sifuna bado ndiye mgombea wetu wa urais. Hakutakuwa na mchujo wa Orengo kwa sababu tumeamua mgombea wetu ni Sifuna," Bw Oundo alisema. "Orengo anaweza kuchukua nafasi yoyote katika Azimio lakini katika Linda Mwananchi tunajadili mambo kwanza kabla ya kuyaweka hadharani. Kwa hivyo Caroli na Orengo walipohudhuria mkutano wa Azimio, yaliyotokea huko si sehemu ya Linda Mwananchi na sisi si sehemu ya Azimio," mbunge huyo alisema.

Kindiki afanya zaidi ya ziara 30 Mlimani kusaka ushawishi
KWA miezi 10 iliyopita, Naibu Rais Kithure Kindiki amefanya zaidi ya ziara 30 katika eneo lake la nyumbani Mlima Kenya, kukagua miradi ya maendeleo au kufuta ushawishi wa wapinzani katika eneo hilo. Akiandamwa na mashambulizi kutoka kwa viongozi kadhaa wa upinzani katika eneo la Mlima Kenya, Prof Kindiki, ambaye kwa kiasi kikubwa anapambana peke yake, amejikita katika kuonyesha na kuharakisha miradi ya serikali. Miongoni mwa vigogo wa kisiasa wa Mlima Kenya wanaompigana vita kisiasa ni Rigathi Gachagua, John Methu, Ndindi Nyoro, Martha Karua, Justin Muturi, Gitonga Mukunji, Peter Munya, Mithika Linturi na Kawira Mwangaza. Hata hivyo, kwa mujibu wa Prof Kindiki, nguvu yake kuu ni kwamba "ana kazi nyingi za kuonyesha katika Mlima Kenya akiwa naibu rais, ilhali Bw Gachagua hana rekodi ya maendeleo wakati alikuwa ofisini." Katika hafla mbalimbali, Prof Kindiki amekuwa akisisitiza kuwa wapigakura wanapaswa kuwahukumu viongozi kwa kuzingatia rekodi yao ya maendeleo. "Imesemwa kuwa taji huwa na thamani mradi tu linavaliwa. Likiondolewa, linakuwa kipande cha chuma kisicho na thamani. Msidanganywe na watu ambao hawakuwahi kuja kwenu wala kuwafanyia lolote walipokuwa mamlakani," Prof Kindiki amekuwa akisema. Kati ya ziara nyingi alizofanya katika eneo la Mlima Kenya, amezuru Meru zaidi ya mara 15, Tharaka Nithi takriban mara saba na Embu karibu mara saba, huku akizuru Kirinyaga mara nne. Katika upande wa magharibi wa Mlima Kenya, Prof Kindiki amefanya ziara mara tisa, sita kati ya hizo akiwa ameandamana na Rais William Ruto. Katika eneo la Mashariki mwa Mlima Kenya, Naibu Rais amekuwa akikagua miradi, kukutana na viongozi wa mashinani, kufanya mikutano na maafisa wa United Democratic Alliance (UDA) au kupokea uungwaji mkono kutoka kwa wazee. Pia amekuwa akihudhuria ibada za kanisa na kuandaa mikutano ya kuwawezesha wananchi, ambapo amekuwa akieleza rekodi ya maendeleo ya utawala wa sasa. Prof Kindiki amekuwa akiorodhesha miradi ya mabilioni ya fedha, ikiwemo masoko, barabara, usambazaji wa umeme mashambani na nyumba za gharama nafuu, kama ushahidi wa kazi anazofanya Rais. Katika Kaunti ya Meru, Prof Kindiki anasema serikali inajenga zaidi ya kilomita 500 za barabara kwa gharama ya zaidi ya Sh42 bilioni, inaboresha hospitali mbili kwa zaidi ya Sh1.1 bilioni na kujenga masoko 21 ya kisasa. Alisema Kituo cha Kukusanya na Kuchakata Mazao ya Kilimo cha Kaunti ya Meru kimekaribia kukamilika, huku viwanja viwili vya michezo vya Maua na Urru vikiboreshwa kwa zaidi ya Sh350 milioni. "Washindani wetu wanajua tu kutukana na kubuni kauli mbiu. Lakini Wakenya wanataka barabara, masoko ya kisasa, maji na hospitali bora na hili ndilo tunalolenga," Naibu Rais alisema Meru wiki iliyopita. Katika Kaunti ya Embu, Naibu Rais Kindiki alisema serikali inajenga masoko 12, inatekeleza miradi 10 ya barabara na kuboresha uwanja wa Embu. Alisema serikali pia inaendelea na mradi wa maji wa Kiambere pamoja na kuboresha Hospitali ya Embu Level Five. "Wanaotuambia tuondoke serikalini wanapaswa kuelewa kwamba miradi hii yote ya maendeleo, hasa barabara, isingeweza kutekelezwa bila nguvu tuliyo nayo tukiwa ndani ya serikali," Prof Kindiki aliwaambia maafisa wa UDA. Katika Kaunti ya Tharaka Nithi, Naibu Rais anasema takriban miradi 13 ya barabara inaendelea, huku serikali ikiwa imejitolea kuunda upya daraja la Nithi kwa gharama ya Sh7 bilioni. "Kwa karibu miaka 40, daraja la Nithi limekuwa likigharimu maisha ya watu. Ni Rais Ruto aliyejitolea kukomesha vifo hivyo. Mkandarasi wa daraja la Nithi tayari yuko katika eneo la ujenzi akisubiri fidia ya ardhi," Naibu Rais alisema. Prof Kindiki sasa anategemea miradi hiyo kuhamasisha watu wa eneo lake kumuunga mkono huku akikabiliana na ushindani wa ndani kuhusu nani atakuwa mgombea mwenza wa Rais Ruto.

Je, safari ya Sifuna kuingia ikulu imeanza kuyumba?
SIASA za upinzani nchini Kenya zimefika mahali ambapo umaarufu wake hauwezi tena kuficha madhaifu katika ngazi ya uongozi wake. Linda Mwananchi ilipoibuka, ilionyesha kusudi la kujenga kizazi kipya cha upinzani na kumweka Edwin Sifuna katika nafasi ya kuwania urais. Swali linabakia iwapo vuguvugu hili linajenga mashine ya uchaguzi au linazalisha vyama vya kuyeyusha nguvu zake? Mvutano kuhusu ni chama kipi cha kutumia katika uchaguzi wa 2027 unajenga ufa ulio wazi. Babu Owino anaegemea Mwananchi Party, huku George Natembeya akiunga mkono Ukombozi People's Party kama chombo cha Sifuna. Ripoti kinzani zinaonyesha Sifuna anatarajiwa kuzindua chama chake mwanzoni mwa Oktoba, naye Babu akielekeza nguvu zaidi katika Mwananchi Party na azima yake ya ugavana Nairobi. Lakini pia imetokea kwamba Kalonzo Musyoka amebadilisha muungano wa Azimio kuwa The Ukombozi Alliance. Hili ndilo donda la kisiasa linafyonza Linda Mwananchi. Uaminifu uko wapi? Muungano wa kisiasa hauhitaji makubaliano katika kila jambo ila lazima kuwe na msingi kuhusu nani anaongoza, chombo gani kinatumika na kila mmoja yuko tayari kutoa nini kwa ajili ya mradi wa pamoja. Ikiwa kila kiongozi anajenga chama chake, bila shaka kila chama kitakuwa na maslahi, wagombea, mtandao na mamlaka yake ya kibinafsi na kuhatarisha muungano huo. Urais haujengwi kwa umaarufu wa mikutano pekee. Unahitaji muundo wa kitaifa, wagombea katika maeneo mbalimbali, mawakala, rasilimali, ujumbe mmoja na makubaliano ya kisiasa yanayoweza kustahimili joto la uchaguzi. Historia ya Kenya imejaa mafunzo mazito kisiasa. Katika mwaka wa 1992, katika uchaguzi wa kwanza wa vyama vingi, wapinzani waligawanyika kila mmoja kwa tamaa yake huku Daniel arap Moi akipata ushindi wa rahisi dhidi ya wapinzani Kenneth Matiba, Mwai Kibaki na Jaramogi Oginga Odinga na wengine. Tatizo lilikuwa kugawanyika kwa nguvu hiyo ya upinzani miongoni mwa wagombea kadhaa. Huenda picha hiyo ya mwaka 1992 isijirudie 2027 kwani mazingira ya kisiasa ni tofauti lakini kanuni za kisiasa hazina tofauti: kura zilizogawanyika haziwezi kuhesabiwa kama kura moja wakati wa kuamua urais. Mgogoro unaokumba Linda Mwananchi si suala dogo la chama. Ni mjadala kuhusu mamlaka, urais na udhibiti wa mamlaka ya kisiasa. Babu anadai kumuunga mkono Sifuna, huku msimamo wake kuhusu Mwananchi Party ukiashiria picha kinzani. Sifuna ana kibarua cha pekee kuviunganisha vyama vyote vinavyochipuka ndani ya Linda mwananchi kwa makubaliano madhubuti ili kuepuka mgawanyiko unaoshuhudiwa sasa. Ni sharti ahakikishe majadiliano ya kina kuelekea kuimarisha muungano mpana wa Linda Mwananchi. Ikiwa kila mmoja ataendelea kujenga himaya yake, Sifuna atajikuta akiwa na jina, umaarufu na jukwaa bila asasi thabiti za kushindana kwenye uchaguzi. Hapo huenda ikawa ndipo mwanzo wa urais wake kubaki tu kuwa wazo lenye mvuto na msisimko maridadi kisiasa ambalo bado halijageuzwa kuwa mradi wa uchaguzi uliokamilika. Suala muhimu kwa sasa si kushabikia kuwa Linda Mwananchi ina watu wanaoishabikia bali kutathmini iwapo uongozi wake una uaminifu, nidhamu na umoja wa kutosha kuwageuza watu hao kuwa nguvu moja ya kisiasa.
