Ruto, Gachagua wang'ang'ania kura za Maasai huku Ole Lenku naye akikosana na ODM

VITA vya kisiasa vya kusaka kura za jamii ya Maa vinazidi kupamba moto kuelekea Uchaguzi Mkuu wa 2027, huku Rais William Ruto na aliyekuwa Naibu Rais Rigathi Gachagua wakiongeza juhudi za kutafuta uungwaji mkono katika jamii ya wafugaji. Maa ina ushawishi mkubwa katika kaunti za Kajiado, Narok na Samburu, na pia ina idadi kubwa ya wakazi katika baadhi ya maeneo ya Laikipia. Takwimu za Tume Huru ya Uchaguzi na Mipaka (IEBC) zinaonyesha kuwa kaunti hizo tatu zinaweza kuwa na zaidi ya wapigakura milioni 1.4 waliosajiliwa kufikia uchaguzi wa 2027. Kwa miaka mingi, siasa za Maa zilidhibitiwa pakubwa na mwanasiasa mkongwe William Ole Ntimama, aliyefariki Septemba 1, 2016. Baada ya kifo chake, eneo hilo lilibaki likimuunga mkono aliyekuwa Waziri Mkuu Raila Odinga, ambaye alifariki Oktoba mwaka jana na kuacha pengo la kisiasa ambalo viongozi mbalimbali sasa wanajaribu kujaza. Hakuna mwanasiasa kutoka jamii hiyo ambaye ameweza kujaza nafasi iliyowahi kushikiliwa na Bw Odinga na Bw Ntimama. Juhudi za Seneta wa Narok Ledama Ole Kina kujijenga kama kinara wa Maa pia zinaonekana kudidimia, huku ushawishi wa familia ya Ntutu, inayojumuisha Gavana wa Narok Patrick Ole Ntutu na Mbunge wa Narok Kusini Kitilai Ole Ntutu, ukiendelea kupungua. Rais Ruto alitembelea Narok Jumanne na kuwataka wakazi kumpima kwa rekodi yake ya maendeleo. "Wakenya wanataka maendeleo wala si maneno matupu. Narok ni kaunti yenye utajiri wa kilimo na hakuna sababu kwa nini msipate barabara nzuri," akasema Rais. Alizindua ujenzi wa barabara ya Enengetia-Olkurto-Olposimoru yenye urefu wa kilomita 59 na kutaja miradi mingine ya barabara inayoendelea katika kaunti hiyo. Pia alisema Sh2.8 bilioni zitatumika kuunganisha nyumba 15,000 zaidi na umeme. Alisema nyumba 14,000 zimeunganishwa na umeme katika kipindi cha miaka mitatu iliyopita. Kwa upande wake, Bw Gachagua ameendelea kuvutia jamii ya Maa kwa usaidizi wa Seneta wa Kajiado Seki Lenku na Mbunge wa Kajiado Kusini Samuel Parashina. Alitembelea Narok Agosti 21, ambako alizuru Emurua Dikirr na kaburi la aliyekuwa mbunge Johana Ng'eno. Mbunge wa Kajiado ya Kati Memusi Kanchory alisema viongozi wanaounga mkono Serikali Jumuishi wanaunga mkono azma ya Rais Ruto ya kuchaguliwa tena 2027. "Hapa tuko kwa mihula miwili na tunafanya kazi katika Serikali Jumuishi, lakini kuna viongozi ambao wameazimia kutugawanya kwa sababu hawafurahishwi na ushirikiano wetu," akasema Bw Kanchory. Gavana wa Kajiado Joseph Ole Lenku, hata hivyo, amekosana na ODM na ametishia kutafuta chama kingine atakachotumia kuwania useneta wa Kajiado. "Tulipata ODM ikiwa dhaifu na kwa sababu tulimheshimu aliyekuwa Waziri Mkuu marehemu Raila Odinga, tuliimarisha chama hicho Kajiado. Kama vile madiwani wa UDA walivyojiunga na DCP, sisi pia tutaondoka na kujiunga na Linda Mwananchi," akasema Bw Lenku."ODM itafunga shughuli zake katika Kaunti ya Kajiado. Sisi ndio tulileta ODM hapa na kuifanya iheshimike," akaongeza. Kwa upande wake, Bw Gachagua amejitaja kama mtetezi wa maslahi ya Maa, hasa kuhusu suala la ardhi. "Raila Odinga amekuwa akiwatetea tangu zamani. Mungu amemchukua. Nataka mnifanye kuwa mtetezi wenu. Nitatetea na kusimamia maslahi yenu bila woga, hasa kuhusu suala la ardhi," akasema wakati wa ziara yake Kajiado Februari mwaka huu. Katika uchaguzi wa 2022, Raila alishinda Ruto katika kaunti zote tatu. Kajiado alipata kura 158,526 dhidi ya 148,439 za Ruto, Narok alipata 102,279 dhidi ya 92,894, huku Samburu akipata 41,737 dhidi ya 28,319.

Sare baada ya sare: Wakuu wa usalama watetea mavazi mapya ya polisi

MAAFISA wa polisi nchini wataanza kuvalia sare mpya kuanzia Ijumaa na kutelekeza ile ya rangi ya samawati iliyozinduliwa wakati wa utawala wa Rais mstaafu Uhuru Kenyatta. Sare hizo mpya zitachukua nafasi ya sare za sasa zinazovaliwa na maafisa wa polisi wa kawaida, huku Polisi wa Utawala (APS) na Kitengo cha Kupambana na Ghasia (GSU) wakitarajiwa kuendelea kutumia sare zao za sasa. Inspekta Jenerali wa Polisi Douglas Kanja alisema mabadiliko hayo yamekumbatiwa baada ya malalamishi ya polisi kuhusu mavazi ya sasa. "Tumeitumia sare ya rangi ya samawati iliyokolea, kwa hivyo sasa tumerudi kwenye ile tuliyokubaliana. Ninataka pia kubainisha kuwa Jumatatu nami nitakuwa nimeivaa hiyo sare mpya," akasema Bw Kanja. Inspekta Jenerali huyo alizungumza Jumanne baada ya kuhudhuria gwaride la mazoezi la polisi wa cheo cha konstebo waliokuwa wakipata mafunzo katika Chuo cha Polisi cha Kiganjo, Kaunti ya Nyeri. Alisema polisi wanaotarajiwa kuhitimu Ijumaa watakuwa wa kwanza kuvalia sare hizo mpya. [caption id="attachment_191564" align="alignnone" width="2560"] Maafisa wa polisi wakiwa wamevalia sare mpya katika Kenya School of Government (KSG) Alhamisi, Septemba 13, 2018. PICHA | MAKTABA[/caption] Rais William Ruto anatarajiwa kuzindua rasmi sare hizo katika Chuo cha Polisi cha Kenya wakati wa hafla ya kuhitimu kwa polisi 10,000 wa cheo cha konstebo, ambao baadaye watajiunga na idara ya polisi. Bw Kanja alisema hatua ya kubadilisha sare inalenga kuinua ari ya maafisa na kuboresha utoaji wa huduma kwa wananchi. Mabadiliko hayo yanajiri kufuatia zoezi la ushirikishaji wa umma lililofanyika 2023, ambapo maafisa wengi wa polisi walikataa sare za sasa za samawati iliyokolea na kutaka zibadilishwe ili ziwe za starehe zaidi na zinazostahili mahitaji ya kazi yao. Mnamo 2018, Huduma ya Kitaifa ya Polisi (NPS) ilianzisha sare za sasa za rangi ya samawati kama sehemu ya ajenda ya mageuzi katika idara ya polisi. Hata hivyo, muundo huo wa rangi, haukupokelewa vyema na baadhi ya maafisa. Wengine walidai kuwa sare hizo hazikuwa za starehe wala za kuvutia. Baadhi yao hata walizilinganisha na mavazi yanayovaliwa na wanakwaya makanisani. Lakini hatua ya serikali ya Rais Ruto kuanzisha sare mpya inaibua maswali kuhusu mapendekezo yaliyotolewa na Jopo la Kuangazia Mageuzi ya Polisi aliyekuwa Jaji Mkuu David Maraga. Jopo hilo lilipendekeza polisi wavae sare zao za zamani kwa muda wa miaka mitatu huku mchakato wa kubuni sare mpya ukianzishwa kwa kufuata mapendekezo yaliyomo katika ripoti yake. "Kuhusu sare za NPS, kwa kuzingatia maoni mengi ya wananchi, maafisa wa polisi wenyewe na uongozi wa NPS, jopo linapendekeza NPS irejee kwa sare zake za zamani kwa kipindi cha miaka mitatu. Baada ya mchakato wa kubuni sare mpya utaanzishwa kwa mujibu wa mapendekezo katika ripoti hii," ikasema ripoti hiyo. Ripoti hiyo pia ilipendekeza kuanzishwa kwa Kamati ya Kitaifa ya Sare, ambayo ingejumuisha wawakilishi kutoka huduma mbalimbali za usalama na taasisi za maafisa wanaovaa sare. Kulingana na mapendekezo hayo, Waziri wa Ulinzi, kwa kushauriana na Waziri wa Usalama wa Ndani, angeandaa sheria ya kuanzisha kamati hiyo yenye jukumu la kuidhinisha viwango, rangi na ubora wa sare zinazotumiwa na kila huduma. "Kamati hiyo inapaswa pia kushughulikia matumizi mabaya ya sare na wananchi," ripoti hiyo ilisema. Mbali na sare, ripoti ya jopo hilo ilibaini mapungufu katika usimamizi wa rasilimali za polisi. Ilibaini kuwa huduma hizo hazikuwa zimeweka kikamilifu mifumo yao ya rasilimali watu katika mfumo wa kidijitali, hali ambayo imekuwa ikizua mianya ya udanganyifu, ufisadi na matumizi mabaya ya mamlaka. Pia, baadhi ya kazi za rasilimali watu zinafanywa na maafisa wenye sare ambao hawana mafunzo ya kitaalamu katika usimamizi wa wafanyakazi, jambo ambalo limechangia makosa katika masuala ya kiutawala. Jopo hilo lilipendekeza kuwa, isipokuwa masuala ya kiutendaji yanayohusu kupelekwa kwa maafisa katika maeneo mbalimbali, kazi nyingine zote za rasilimali watu zisimamiwe na wataalamu wenye mafunzo, tajriba na uwezo unaohitajika. "Uwekaji kamili wa huduma zote za rasilimali watu katika mfumo wa kidijitali, ikiwa ni pamoja na malipo ya marupurupu, utahakikisha mahitaji ya maafisa wote wa NPS yanashughulikiwa kwa haraka," ripoti hiyo ilisema.
