Wadau wa utalii wahofia bima ya afya ya Sh6.5 milioni kwa kila mtalii itaua biashara

SERIKALI sasa inakabiliwa na kesi mahakamani kupinga agizo jipya linalowataka wageni wote wanaoingia Kenya kuwa na bima ya afya ya usafiri. Agizo hilo limezua upinzani mkali kutoka kwa wadau wa sekta ya utalii wanaosema litaongeza gharama za kusafiri na kupunguza ushindani wa Kenya kama kivutio cha watalii. Chama cha Watumiaji Bidhaa Nchini (COFEK) limewasilisha kesi katika Mahakama Kuu likitaka utekelezaji wa agizo hilo usimamishwe, likidai serikali ililitangaza bila ushirikishaji wa umma na bila kuzingatia Katiba kuhusu uwazi na utawala bora. Agizo hilo lilichapishwa katika Gazeti Rasmi la Serikali la Julai 30, 2026 na kutiwa saini na Waziri wa Afya Aden Duale. Linawataka wageni wote wanaoingia nchini kuwa na bima ya afya yenye kiwango cha chini cha fidia cha dola 50,000 (Sh6.5 milioni). Serikali inasema bima hiyo itawawezesha wageni kupata matibabu ya dharura bila kutegemea hospitali za umma. Hata hivyo, COFEK inahoji kuwa haijabainishwa jinsi kampuni za bima zitakavyoidhinishwa, jinsi ada zitakavyotozwa wala usimamizi wa fedha utakavyofanywa. Katibu Mkuu wa COFEK Stephen Mutoro alisema shirika hilo halipingi bima ya afya kwa wageni, bali linapinga namna sera hiyo ilivyoanzishwa bila kufuata taratibu za kikatiba. Wakati huo huo, wadau wa utalii wameonya kuwa agizo hilo litafanya Kenya kuwa ghali zaidi kwa watalii ikilinganishwa na mataifa jirani kama Tanzania, Rwanda na Afrika Kusini. Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Muungano wa Wafanyakazi wa Hoteli na Wapishi (KAHC) Dkt Sam Ikwaye, alisema sekta hiyo inapinga hatua hiyo kwa sababu inawaongezea watalii gharama nyingine wakati serikali inapaswa kuhamasisha wageni wengi zaidi kutembelea nchi. Alisema serikali inapaswa kuboresha usafiri wa ndege za moja kwa moja, hasa kuelekea Pwani, badala ya kuongeza ada mpya. Mshauri wa masuala ya utalii Tony Kirimi alihoji kwa nini wageni walazimishwe kununua bima ya Kenya ilhali wengi tayari husafiri wakiwa na bima kutoka nchi zao. Wadau hao pia wanataka serikali ifafanue iwapo bima za kimataifa zitatambuliwa na ni kampuni zipi zitakazoruhusiwa kutoa huduma hiyo. Mzozo huo umeibuka wakati sekta ya utalii nchini inaonyesha dalili za kuimarika, huku Shirika la Huduma kwa Wanyamapori Kenya (KWS) likiripoti zaidi ya ziara milioni 3.5 katika hifadhi za taifa mwaka huu. Wadau sasa wanaitaka serikali kusitisha utekelezaji wa agizo hilo hadi mashauriano ya kina yafanyike.
