Wakazi wajenga ua kuzunguka  ardhi ya chuo baada ya agizo la Ruto

Wanajamii wa eneo la Oloitikosh katika Kaunti ya Kajiado wameanza kuweka ua kuzunguka ekari 60 za ardhi inayomilikiwa na Chuo cha Mafunzo ya Kiufundi cha Kajiado East (TVET), wiki mbili baada ya Rais William Ruto kuagiza ardhi hiyo ilindwe kwa ajili ya upanuzi wa taasisi hiyo. Shughuli ya kuweka ua Jumatatu iliongozwa na Naibu Chifu wa Oloitikosh, Moses Karaine, kwa ushirikiano na wakazi wa eneo hilo. Hatua hiyo imefuatia madai kwamba sehemu kubwa ya ardhi ya awali ya chuo hicho yenye ukubwa wa ekari 76 ilinyakuliwa na kugawanywa na watu binafsi kwa ushirikiano wa mabroka na baadhi ya wanasiasa. Inadaiwa kuwa chuo kilibaki na ekari saba pekee ambako majengo yake yamejengwa. Wakati wa ziara yake ya maendeleo katika eneo hilo wiki mbili zilizopita, Rais Ruto aliamuru ekari 60 zilizokuwa zikizozaniwa ziwekwe ua mara moja ili kuhifadhiwa kwa matumizi ya baadaye ya chuo hicho. "Ardhi hii lazima ilindwe na kuwekwa ua. Nitarudi mwenyewe kukagua maendeleo. Baadaye TVET hii inaweza kukua na kuwa chuo kikuu," alisema Rais wakati wa uzinduzi wa mabweni ya wanafunzi chini ya mpango wa Boma Yangu. Chuo hicho, ambacho kina umri wa miaka 10, kwa sasa kina takriban wanafunzi 800 wanaosomea kozi mbalimbali za kiufundi. Pia ndicho taasisi pekee ya serikali katika Kaunti ya Kajiado iliyo na kituo cha kidijitali cha Jitume Digital Hub. Mkuu wa chuo hicho, Watiri Kiragu, alisifu hatua ya rais akisema kurejeshwa kwa ardhi hiyo kutatoa nafasi muhimu kwa upanuzi wa taasisi hiyo siku zijazo. "Msingi wa upanuzi wa taasisi yoyote ni upatikanaji wa ardhi. Uamuzi huu ni wa manufaa makubwa kwa maendeleo ya chuo," alisema. Mzee Daniel Lepatei, ambaye alipewa jukumu la kusimamia ujenzi wa ua huo, alisema jamii imejitolea kulinda ardhi hiyo kwa manufaa ya vizazi vya sasa na vijavyo. Kwa mujibu wake, mabroka wa ardhi walianza kugawa sehemu ya ardhi hiyo miaka mitano iliyopita na kupata barua za ugavi kwa njia isiyo halali. "Amri ya rais imeokoa mustakabali wa vijana wetu. Fedha za kujenga ua zimepatikana na taratibu za kurejesha ardhi zimekamilika," alisema. Nao viongozi wa jamii walidai kuwa baadhi ya maafisa wa utawala, wanasiasa na maafisa wa ardhi walihusishwa na unyakuzi wa ardhi hiyo. Hata hivyo, Waziri wa Ardhi wa Kaunti ya Kajiado, Hamilton Parseina, alisema barua zote za ugavi zilizokuwa zimetolewa kwa watu binafsi tayari zimefutwa. "Ardhi hii ni mali ya chuo cha TVET. Barua zilizokuwa zimetolewa hapo awali zimebatilishwa ili kuruhusu upanuzi wa taasisi hiyo," alisema. Hatua ya kuzungusha ua ardhi hiyo imepokelewa kwa furaha na wakazi, ambao wanasema italinda rasilimali ya umma wakati ambapo maeneo mengi ya Kitengela yanaendelea kukabiliwa na ongezeko la visa vya unyakuzi wa ardhi ya taasisi za umma.

Murkomen sasa atangaza vita dhidi ya pombe Baringo

WAZIRI wa Usalama wa Ndani Kipchumba Murkomen amewaamuru maafisa wa usalama katika Kaunti ya Baringo kuimarisha msako dhidi ya pombe haramu na kuwawajibisha wanaohusika na biashara hiyo. Bw Murkomen alisema amepokea ripoti kwamba utengenezaji na uuzaji wa pombe haramu, ikiwemo ile inayodaiwa kuwa na kemikali ya ethanol, umeongezeka Kabarnet na maeneo ya jirani. Akizungumza wikendi wakati wa ibada ya madhehebu mbalimbali katika Shule ya Msingi ya Visa Oshwal, Kabarnet, Bw Murkomen aliwataka maafisa wa usalama kumtafuta mwanamke anayejulikana kwa jina la Targok, ambaye anadaiwa kujihusisha na biashara hiyo. "Nimeambiwa wakuu wa maeneo wamejaribu kukomesha pombe haramu, lakini kuna baadhi ambayo ni mbaya sana, kama yenye kemikali ya ethanol. Nimesikia kuna mwanamke anayeitwa Targok, ambaye ni mtengenezaji na muuzaji wa pombe haramu na mara nyingi hukamatwa na kuachiliwa mahakamani," akasema. Bw Murkomen alimtaka Kamanda wa Polisi wa Kaunti ya Baringo Macharia Wanjau kuhakikisha Targok anakamatwa na kufikishwa mahakamani. Alimweleza Kamishina wa Kaunti ya Baringo Wesley Koech kuwa nafasi yake itakuwa hatarini iwapo maafisa wa usalama watashindwa kukabiliana na biashara hiyo. "Ni jukumu lako kuchagua kati ya Targok maarufu na kazi yako. Chagua kumwokoa yeye au kazi yako," akasema. Wiki moja iliyopita, polisi walivamia boma moja katika kijiji cha Kaprogonya, nje kidogo ya Kabarnet, wakipata kile walichokieleza kuwa chumba cha siri kilichojengwa chini ya sakafu ya bafu. Polisi walikuwa wakimtafuta Targok baada ya kupata taarifa za kijasusi kwamba pombe haramu na kemikali zilikuwa zimefichwa katika boma hilo. Hata hivyo, alikuwa tayari ametoroka walipofika. Baada ya kupekua eneo hilo kwa karibu saa mbili, maafisa waligundua shimo chini ya vigae vya bafu. Ngazi iliwaongoza hadi kwenye chumba cha chini kilichojengwa kama tangi la majitaka. Ndani walipata zaidi ya mitungi 40, kila mmoja ukiwa na kemikali iliyoshukiwa ya ethanol kwa jumla ikiwa zaidi ya lita 1,000. Naibu Kamishina wa Kaunti ya Baringo ya Kati Joseph Ng'eny alisema boma hilo lilionekana kutengenezwa kwa njia maalumu ili kuficha biashara hiyo. "Kwa mtazamo wa kwanza unaweza kudhani hii ni nyumba ya kawaida, lakini tulipoingia tuligundua ilikuwa kiwanda cha kutengeneza pombe haramu," akasema. Mbali na pombe haramu, Bw Murkomen aliwataka machifu na wazee wa vijiji kuacha kushughulikia kesi za ubakaji na kulawiti watoto, akisema washukiwa wanapaswa kukamatwa na kufikishwa kortini. Alisema baadhi ya wahalifu wa unyanyasaji wa kimapenzi ni watu wanaoaminika na familia, wakiwemo jamaa, walimu, wachungaji na watu wengine wenye mamlaka.
