Mali ya kifahari ya Wa Iria kupigwa mnada kwa kushindwa kulipa mkopo
MALI inayohusishwa na aliyekuwa Gavana wa Murang'a, Mwangi wa Iria, inatarajiwa kuuzwa kwa mnada baadaye mwezi huu baada ya kudaiwa kushindwa kulipa mkopo ambao kiasi chake hakijafichuliwa, hali inayoongeza matatizo yake ya kisheria huku pia akikabiliwa na kesi ya ufisadi ya zaidi ya Sh542.6 milioni. Tangazo la kampuni ya Dalali Traders Auctioneers linaonyesha kuwa nyumba yake ya kifahari iliyoko Karen, Nairobi, pamoja na Edinburgh Mountain Hospital iliyoko Murang'a, zitauzwa kwa mnada mnamo Agosti 25. Hatua hiyo imejiri chini ya miaka miwili tangu Rais William Ruto amteue Bw Wa Iria kuwa mwenyekiti wa Bodi ya Mamlaka ya Kudhibiti Ununuzi wa Umma (PPRA). Tangazo hilo linaonyesha kuwa hospitali hiyo iko kwenye shamba la ekari 2.96 katika eneo la Milimani, Kiharu, Murang'a, karibu na Chuo Kikuu cha Murang'a na Chuo cha Matibabu cha Edinburgh. Hospitali hiyo inamilikiwa kikamilifu na Bw Wa Iria kupitia kampuni ya Edinburgh Mountain Hospital Limited. Mali hiyo imestawishwa kwa jengo la hospitali la ghorofa tano pamoja na maeneo ya kupumzikia. Nyumba inayotarajiwa kuuzwa iko katika eneo la Karen, kwenye ploti ya ekari 0.48 katika Muiri Lane. Mali hiyo ilisajiliwa kwa jina la Bw Wa Iria na ilitumika kama dhamana ya mkopo uliochukuliwa na Edinburgh College Ltd pamoja na Edinburgh Mountain Hospital Ltd. Nyumba hiyo ya ghorofa tatu ilikuwa karibu kukamilika na pia ina nyumba ya wageni, maegesho ya magari, pamoja na mipango ya kujenga bwawa la kuogelea, gazebo na nyumba za wafanyakazi. Bw Wa Iria na kampuni ya madalali hawakufichua jina la mkopeshaji wala kiwango cha mkopo unaodaiwa. Mbali na madai ya mkopo, Tume ya Maadili na Kupambana na Ufisadi (EACC) pia imewasilisha kesi ikitaka kurejesha Sh542.6 milioni, ikidai fedha hizo zilipatikana kupitia ufisadi na ukiukaji wa taratibu za ununuzi alipokuwa gavana wa Murang'a. Hata hivyo, Bw Wa Iria amekanusha madai hayo na kesi bado iko mahakamani. Bw Wa Iria ni miongoni mwa viongozi wa zamani ambao mali yao iko hatarini kupigwa minada au kurejeshwa kwa serikali. Wengine ni aliyekuwa Gavana wa Kiambu Ferdinand Waititu, aliyekuwa Gavana wa Migori Okoth Obado, na aliyekuwa Katibu Mkuu wa Jubilee Raphael Tuju, ambaye pia amepoteza baadhi ya mali zake kutokana na migogoro ya mikopo.

Wakazi Turkana wahofia vikosi vinalinda maeneo ya mafuta badala ya usalama wao
WAKAZI wa vijiji vya Lopii, Nakukulas, Lokwamosing, Lokori na Kahuruko katika Bonde la South Lokichar, Kaunti ya Turkana, wanasema sasa wanaishi kwa hofu ya vikosi vya usalama licha ya miaka mingi wakikabiliwa na mashambulizi ya majangili. Wakazi hao wanadai oparesheni kali iliyoanzishwa mwezi uliopita na kikosi maalumu cha polisi imegeuza eneo hilo kuwa kama kambi ya kijeshi. Wanasema magari ya kivita yanazunguka vijijini huku wakazi wakizuiwa kutembea kwa uhuru, jambo linalozua hofu kuwa serikali inalenga kulinda maeneo ya mafuta badala ya wananchi. Serikali, hata hivyo, inasema oparesheni hiyo inalenga kukomesha wizi wa mifugo na mashambulizi ya majangili. Mfugaji Meshack Etiir wa kijiji cha Lopii alisema wakazi wamekuwa wakitegemea mtandao wa kutoa taarifa za kiusalama ili kubaini watu wanaoshukiwa kushirikiana na majangili. Alisema taarifa hizo zilisaidia kupanga mikakati na Polisi wa Akiba pamoja na maafisa wa utawala ili kukabiliana na mashambulizi. Kwa mujibu wake, familia nyingi zimeendelea kuwa maskini baada ya kupokonywa mifugo huku juhudi za serikali za kurejesha wanyama hao zikikosa kuzaa matunda. Mwakilishi wa Wadi ya Lokichar, Samwel Lomodo, alisema viongozi wamekuwa wakiripoti mashambulizi ya mara kwa mara katika vijiji vya Lopii, Lokwamosing na Nakukulas bila serikali kuchukua hatua za haraka. Alidai kuwa majangili bado wanaendelea kujificha katika maeneo ya Kailongol, Lokwatuba, Lochakula, Lotongot na Loritit licha ya oparesheni ya kuwasaka. Bw Lomodo alisema badala ya vikosi vya usalama kuwafuatilia majangili na kurejesha mifugo iliyoibwa, vinaelekeza nguvu kwa wakazi wasio na hatia. Naye mkazi wa Nakukulas, Mark Epurui, alisema wakazi hawawezi tena kupeleka mifugo karibu na maeneo ya mafuta wala kutafuta taarifa kuhusu nafasi za kazi zinazotarajiwa wakati uchimbaji wa mafuta utakapoanza tena. Kwa upande wake, Eunice Ateyo wa shirika la Friends of Lake Turkana alisema wanaharakati wa haki za binadamu wamebaini hofu kubwa miongoni mwa wakazi kutokana na uwepo wa magari ya kivita. Alidai baadhi ya wakazi wamefurushwa na nyumba kadhaa kuchomwa moto wakati wa oparesheni hiyo. Mwakilishi wa Wadi ya Lokori/Kochodin Willy Napuyo, alisema ikiwa serikali inapanga kutwaa ardhi kwa ajili ya miradi ya mafuta, wakazi wanapaswa kufahamishwa mapema kuhusu fidia na makazi mapya. Hata hivyo, Kamishna wa Kaunti ya Turkana, Julius Kavita, alitetea oparesheni hiyo akisema ilianzishwa baada ya kuongezeka kwa mashambulizi ya kulipiza kisasi. Alisema serikali itaendelea na juhudi za kurejesha mifugo iliyoibwa na kuwakamata wahusika wa mashambulizi hayo.
