Rudi kwenu utafute mahari tunayotaka, wazazi wa kidosho wafokea jombi
KABATI, Murang'a: KALAMENI aliyekutana na wazazi wa mpenzi wake katika eneo hili kupata baraka waoane, alijipata taabani walipomtaka kusitisha mipango ya harusi iwapo hana uwezo wa kutoa mahari iliyohitajika. Kama ilivyo desturi kalameni pamoja na jamaa zake walikuwa wameenda kwa kina mrembo wake ili kujadili na wazazi wake kuhusu mahari. "Sisi tumetoa matakwa yetu kwenu. Hatutaki mabishano. Iwapo hauna uwezo basi achana na harusi," polo aliambiwa. Duru zinasema polo na ujumbe wake walijaribu kuwashawishi wazazi wa mrembo wachukue kiwango cha mahari alichokuwa nacho lakini hawakutoboa. "Hakuna mahali huyu msichana anaenda. Wewe rudi nyumbani na ukipata kiwango cha mahari tunachohitaji tuambie. Kwa sasa sahau harusi," polo aliambiwa.

Gavana ahepa makao makuu ya thamani ya Sh740 milioni
JENGO la makao makuu ya Serikali ya Kaunti ya Turkana lililogharimu zaidi ya Sh740 milioni na kuchukua zaidi ya miaka 11 kukamilika bado halijatumika kikamilifu, mwaka mmoja baada ya kukabidhiwa rasmi kwa serikali ya kaunti. Jengo hilo la ghorofa nne lililoko Lodwar lilikabidhiwa serikali ya kaunti Julai 28, 2025, baada ya Seneti kuingilia kati kuharakisha ujenzi wake. Hata hivyo, Gavana Jeremiah Lomorukai na idara nyingi za kaunti bado hawajahamia jengo hilo, hali inayozua maswali kuhusu matumizi ya fedha za umma zilizowekezwa katika mradi huo. Ujenzi ulianza mwaka 2015 chini ya gavana wa kwanza wa Turkana, Josphat Nanok. Gharama ya mradi huo ilipanda kutoka Sh695 milioni hadi karibu Sh1.2 bilioni kutokana na mabadiliko ya usanifu na kazi zilizoongezwa. Akizungumza mbele ya Kamati ya Seneti kuhusu Ugatuzi, Gavana Lomorukai alisema kaunti tayari imelipa Sh740.7 milioni huku kiasi cha takriban Sh24 milioni pekee kikisalia kulipwa kwa mujibu wa sheria za ununuzi wa umma.
