Ruto amponda tena Uhuru akimlaumu kuvunja makubaliano ya 'Yangu kumi na Yako kumi'
RAIS William Ruto amemshambulia tena mtangulizi wake, Rais mstaafu Uhuru Kenyatta, akimlaumu kwa kusaliti makubaliano ya kisiasa waliyofikia walipokuwa washirika na sasa kufadhili siasa za upinzani dhidi ya serikali yake. Dkt Ruto alisema yeye na Bw Kenyatta walikubaliana kuwa Rais huyo wa zamani angeongoza kwa miaka 10 kabla ya kumkabidhi yeye uongozi wa nchi kwa miaka mingine 10. Hata hivyo, alidai Bw Kenyatta alipuuza makubaliano hayo ulipofika wakati wake wa kugombea urais na badala yake akamuunga mkono aliyekuwa kiongozi wa ODM Raila Odinga katika uchaguzi wa 2022. "Hukutimiza. Badala yake, ulifanya kazi dhidi yangu," Rais alisema alipokuwa akizungumza Sindo. Dkt Ruto alisema alimuunga mkono Bw Kenyatta katika chaguzi nne na kusimama naye alipohitaji msaada wa kisiasa. "Nilikuunga mkono katika chaguzi nne na nikakulinda. Ulipofika wakati wako wa kunisaidia, hukufanya hivyo hata kwa siku moja. Lakini baadaye Mungu alinisaidia kuwa Rais wa watu wa Kenya," alisema. Hata hivyo, Rais alisema hamlaumu Bw Kenyatta kwa kutomuunga mkono, akisema ilikuwa haki yake ya kidemokrasia kumuunga mkono mgombea aliyemtaka. Lakini alimshutumu kwa kuhujumu serikali ya Kenya Kwanza na kufadhili siasa za upinzani. "Unashusha hadhi ya afisi ya Rais mstaafu. Unashusha hadhi yako mwenyewe kama mtu," alisema. Kauli hizo zilitolewa muda mfupi baada ya Mahakama Kuu kuunga mkono sheria inayowazuia marais wastaafu kushikilia nyadhifa za uongozi katika vyama vya kisiasa zaidi ya miezi sita baada ya kuondoka madarakani. Hata hivyo, mahakama haikuwazuia kuwa wanachama wa vyama au kushiriki shughuli za kisiasa. Bw Kenyatta ametangaza ataacha uongozi wa Jubilee kufuatia uamuzi huo. Dkt Ruto pia alikosoa rekodi ya kiuchumi ya serikali iliyotangulia, akidai serikali yake ilirithi uchumi uliokuwa katika hali mbaya. "Tumelipa sehemu kubwa ya madeni na kupunguza mfumuko wa bei. Pia tumeongeza mara mbili akiba yetu ya fedha za kigeni," alisema. Alidai pia serikali yake imeajiri walimu 100,000, kujenga madarasa 23,000 na kufanya mabadiliko katika sekta ya afya. Kauli za Rais zilijiri akimaliza ziara ya siku tano Nyanza, ambapo alitembelea Siaya, Kisumu, Homa Bay na Migori, akizindua miradi na kutangaza mipango mingine ya thamani ya mabilioni ya pesa.

Kenya Kwanza yazidisha presha kwa Natembeya
MUUNGANO wa Kenya Kwanza unaoongozwa na Rais William Ruto, umeanzisha kampeni kali ya kisiasa ya kuteka Kaunti ya Trans Nzoia kutoka kwa upinzani, hatua inayoongeza presha kwa Gavana George Natembeya huku makundi hasimu yakipambana kudhibiti kaunti hiyo kuelekea uchaguzi mkuu wa mwaka 2027. Spika wa Bunge la Kitaifa, Moses Wetang'ula na msaidizi wa karibu wa Rais, Farouk Kibet, wamefika Kaunti hiyo kueneza ujumbe wa mafanikio ya serikali na wakati huohuo kuunga mkono wanaotajwa kuwa wapinzani wa gavana huyo. Tofauti na mwaka 2022 aliposhinda kwa kishindo, Bw Natembeya sasa anakabiliwa na mazingira mapya ya kisiasa. Gavana huyo wa chama cha DAP-K ametofautiana na kiongozi wa chama hicho, Eugene Wamalwa, na ameashiria kuondoka kwake. Tangu wakati huo amekuwa karibu na mrengo wa upinzani wa Linda Mwananchi unaohusishwa na Seneta wa Nairobi, Bw Edwin Sifuna. "Ninatafuta muhula wa pili kwa sababu bado nataka kukamilisha nilichoanzisha kubadilisha kaunti hii," amesema mara kadhaa kwenye majukwaa yake ya kisiasa. Mabadiliko hayo ya kisiasa yametoa nafasi kwa Kenya Kwanza kuimarisha ushawishi wake Magharibi mwa Kenya na kutafuta mgombea mwenye uwezo wa kumpa changamoto gavana huyo. Wiki iliyopita, Mabw Wetang'ula na Kibet walizuru kaunti hiyo katika shughuli za kuwawezesha wanawake na waendesha bodaboda. Shughuli hizo ziliashiria ujumbe mmoja wa kisiasa: Kenya Kwanza inataka kuteka Trans Nzoia mwaka 2027. Katika mikutano hiyo, Bw Wetang'ula alimtangaza Balozi wa Kenya katika UN-Habitat, Bi Susan Nakhumicha, kama mgombea anayefaa kumpinga Bw Natembeya, huku Bw Kibet akimuunga mkono Mbunge wa Kiminini, Bw Maurice Kakai Bisau. Kuibuka kwa Bi Nakhumicha kumepatia siasa za ugavana sura mpya. Mnamo Juni 2026, Bw Wetang'ula alimuidhinisha waziwazi kuwania ugavana na kuwataka wanasiasa wengine wa Kenya Kwanza kumuunga mkono. "Nimewasiliana na wakazi wa wadi zote 25 na wengi wanatamani mabadiliko. Wanahisi wamevunjwa moyo na uongozi wa sasa na ninafahamu jinsi ya kuokoa kaunti hii nikichaguliwa gavana," amesema Bi Nakhumicha. Hata hivyo, chama cha UDA kinakabiliwa na changamoto ya ndani kwa kuwa viongozi kadhaa wanawania tiketi hiyo. Mbali na Bi Nakhumicha, wanaowania ni Bw Maurice Bisau, aliyekuwa Mbunge wa Kiminini, Dkt Chris Wamalwa, na Bw Isaac Kogo. "Gavana wa sasa ameshindwa kuleta maendeleo. Amejikita zaidi katika kujenga taswira yake ya kisiasa badala ya kutimiza wajibu wake," amesema Bw Bisau. Kwa upande wake, Dkt Wamalwa amesema: "Kaunti yetu imebaki nyuma kimaendeleo kutokana na uongozi mbovu. Rekodi yangu ya maendeleo tangu nikiwa Mbunge wa Kiminini inajieleza yenyewe." Wakati huo huo, maendeleo yameibuka kuwa silaha kuu ya kisiasa. Viongozi wa Kenya Kwanza wanajivunia mradi wa nyumba za bei nafuu wa Sh15 bilioni, zaidi ya kilomita 300 za barabara za lami, masoko ya kisasa na mipango ya kuboresha Hospitali ya Kaunti ya Kitale kwa Sh1 bilioni. "Tunahakikisha hakuna eneo linaloachwa nyuma kimaendeleo, na hatutaacha kaunti hii isimamiwe vibaya," alisema Bw Wetang'ula mjini Endebess. Ikiwa na wapiga kura karibu 400,000 waliosajiliwa, Trans Nzoia imekuwa muhimu kwa pande zote mbili. Kwa Rais Ruto, kushinda katika kaunti hiyo kutaimarisha nafasi yake ya kuchaguliwa tena. Kwa Bw Natembeya, kushinda muhula wa pili kutathibitisha kuwa ushawishi wake wa kisiasa umeendelea licha ya kutengana na DAP-K.

Mwanamume amshtaki Sifuna akitaka kujua alivyotumia Sh55 alizomchangia
MWANAMUME anayedai alichangia Sh55 kwa kampeni ya Linda Mwananchi, amewasilisha kesi katika Mahakama Kuu akiomba itoe amri kumlazimisha Seneta wa Nairobi, Edwin Sifuna, na vuguvugu hilo kutoa hesabu ya fedha zilizochangwa kwa mradi huo wa kisiasa. Bw Alan Masakhalia anataka mahakama iamuru Bw Sifuna na viongozi wa Linda Mwananchi kutoa taarifa kamili ya michango yote iliyotumwa kupitia nambari ya Paybill 3033049 pamoja na njia nyingine zozote zilizotumika kukusanya fedha. Bw Masakhalia anasema kuwa wananchi waliochanga fedha kwa hiari yao baada ya kualikwa hadharani kufanya hivyo wana haki ya kufahamu jinsi fedha hizo zinavyohifadhiwa, kusimamiwa na kutumiwa. Aidha, anataka mahakama kubaini ni hatua gani za kisheria zinazoweza kuchukuliwa iwapo mradi huo wa kisiasa utaachwa, kubadilishwa mwelekeo, kuhamishwa kwa mtu mwingine au kufanyiwa mabadiliko makubwa yanayokwenda kinyume na maelezo yaliyotolewa wakati fedha zilipoombwa. Bw Masakhalia anasema kuwa kesi hiyo haisukumi ajenda ya kibinafsi ya kisiasa kwamba Bw Sifuna anapaswa kugombea urais. Badala yake, anasema inalenga kupata ufafanuzi kuhusu wajibu wa kisheria unaohusishwa na fedha zinazochangwa na umma kwa madhumuni mahsusi ya kisiasa. Kulingana naye, baada ya kukusanya kiasi kikubwa cha fedha kutoka kwa Wakenya, Bw Sifuna anaweza kuamua kutowania urais, kuunga mgombea mwingine na kumhamishia miundombinu iliyoanzishwa kupitia mradi huo, au kutumia fedha hizo kwa madhumuni tofauti na yale yaliyoelezwa kwa waliochangia. "Hali kama hiyo itazua swali muhimu iwapo wananchi waliochangia fedha zao wana maslahi ya kikatiba na kisheria yanayoweza kutekelezwa kuhusu uhifadhi, uwajibikaji na matumizi halali ya fedha pamoja na mradi wa kisiasa waliofadhili," alisema. Anataka mahakama kubaini iwapo Bw Sifuna anaweza kukusanya fedha kutoka kwa wananchi kwa ajili ya azma ya urais, kisha baadaye kuachana na azma hiyo au kumuunga mkono mgombea mwingine baada ya fedha hizo kupatikana. Bw Masakhalia alikumbusha kuwa mnamo Julai 21, 2026, Bw Sifuna alizindua hadharani Paybill nambari 3033049 na kuwaalika Wakenya kutoa michango ya kifedha kusaidia vuguvugu la Linda Mwananchi. Anadai kuwa waandalizi walitangaza hadharani kwamba, watu 9,419 walichanga takriban Sh519,144 katika siku ya kwanza ya shughuli hiyo ya kuchangisha fedha. "Ndani ya takriban saa 36, jumla ya pesa zilizoripotiwa hadharani iliongezeka hadi karibu Sh2,210,836.82," alisema. Mlalamishi huyo anasema kuwa sehemu kubwa ya michango ilikuwa ni michango midogo, mingine ikiwa ya chini hadi Sh10, jambo linaloonyesha kuwa mpango huo uliwasilishwa kama mradi wa kisiasa unaofadhiliwa na wananchi badala ya shughuli binafsi ya kifedha. Anasema kuwa alitoa mchango wake kwa hiari na kwa kutegemea maelezo yaliyotolewa hadharani kuhusu malengo ya mradi huo na sababu zilizowafanya wananchi waombwe kuchangia. "Sikutoa mchango huo kama zawadi binafsi kwa mshtakiwa wa Kwanza kwa matumizi yake mwenyewe. Wala sikuwa nikichangia harambee ya matibabu au elimu. Mchango wangu ulikuwa wazi kwa ajili ya hazina ya kampeni ya urais ya Mheshimiwa Sifuna," alisema. Bw Masakhalia aliongeza kuwa ombi hilo la kuchangisha fedha lilivutia michango kutoka kwa Wakenya wengi wengine. Baadhi ya michango hiyo, alisema, ilikusanywa kupitia ndoo zilizowekwa katika masoko ya Naitiri, Butula, Kakamega na Kabuchai zikiwa na mabango ya Bw Sifuna ambayo waliochangia waliamini yalihusishwa na kampeni ya urais. "Ninaamini kuwa uhuru wa kikatiba wa kiongozi wa kisiasa kufanya maamuzi ya kisiasa hauondoi, kwa wenyewe, wajibu wa kisheria kuhusu fedha zilizoombwa na kupokelewa kutoka kwa wananchi kwa madhumuni ya kisiasa yaliyowasilishwa hadharani," alisema. Mlalamishi huyo anataka mahakama ibaini iwapo wananchi waliochangia kifedha katika mradi huo wa kisiasa uliotangazwa hadharani walipata haki za kikatiba na kisheria zinazoweza kutekelezwa kuhusu matumizi, uwajibikaji na ufichuzi wa michango yao. Miongoni mwa maagizo anayotaka ni amri itakayomlazimisha Bw Sifuna na vuguvugu la Linda Mwananchi kutoa hesabu kamili na zilizothibitishwa za fedha zote zilizopokelewa kupitia Paybill nambari 3033049 pamoja na njia nyingine zozote. Pia anataka mahakama kuwaamuru washtakiwa kufichua matumizi yote ya fedha hizo, ikiwemo stakabadhi za malipo, kumbukumbu za malipo na stakabadhi nyingine zozote zinazothibitisha matumizi hayo.
