Omtatah apinga kinga ya IMF na Benki ya Dunia inayowazuia kushtakiwa nchini
SENETA wa Busia Okiya Omtatah akishirikiana na wanaharakati Bernard Muchiri na Naomi Misati, wamewasilisha kesi katika Mahakama Kuu wakitaka sheria inayoyapa mashirika ya kifedha ya IMF na Benki ya Dunia, kinga dhidi ya mashtaka, ushuru na kufichua taarifa kuwa kinyume cha Katiba. Walalamishi wanapinga Kifungu cha Sheria ya Bretton Woods ya 1963, wakisema kimepitwa na wakati wala hakiendani na Katiba ya 2010. Kwa mujibu wa kesi hiyo, sheria hiyo inaipa serikali mamlaka makubwa ya kuingia mikataba ya kimataifa ya kifedha, kukopa fedha na kutumia hazina ya umma bila usimamizi wa kutosha wa Bunge. Aidha, sheria hiyo inalinda IMF na Benki ya Dunia dhidi ya kuwajibishwa katika mahakama za Kenya. Wanadai kuwa Kifungu cha tano cha sheria hiyo kinazipa taasisi hizo kinga dhidi ya kushauri mahakama, ushuru, ukaguzi, kutwaliwa kwa mali, jambo ambalo linawanyima Wakenya haki ya kupata haki, kusikilizwa kwa usawa na kupata taarifa. Aidha, wanasema sheria hiyo inaruhusu serikali kutekeleza mikataba ya kimataifa bila idhini ya Bunge na kutoa fedha kutoka Hazina Kuu ya Fedha moja kwa moja kwa IMF na Benki ya Dunia bila kuidhinishwa kila mwaka na wabunge. Bw Omtatah na wenzake wanaeleza kuwa hali hiyo inadhoofisha mamlaka ya Bunge na Mahakama katika kusimamia matumizi ya fedha za umma. Pia inakiuka masharti mbalimbali ya Katiba, pamoja na sura inayohusu usimamizi wa fedha za umma. Mahakama Kuu imewaagiza washtakiwa na wahusika wengine kuwasilisha majibu yao ndani ya siku 14. Kesi hiyo itatajwa tena Septemba 29, 2026, kwa mwelekeo zaidi.

Cherargei amshtaki Gachagua NCIC kwa 'uchochezi'
SENETA wa Nandi Samson Cherargei ameandikia Tume ya Kitaifa ya Uwiano na Utangamano (NCIC) barua ya malalamishi akiitaka imchunguze Kiongozi wa DCP, Rigathi Gachagua, kwa madai ya kutoa matamshi yanayoweza kuchochea vurugu za kikabila. Katika barua ya Julai 27, 2026, iliyonakiliwa kwa Mwenyekiti wa NCIC, Bw Cherargei alisema matamshi ya Bw Gachagua kuhusu jamii ya Wakalenjin yanastahili kuchunguzwa kwa mujibu wa Katiba na Sheria ya Uwiano na Utangamano wa Kitaifa. Bw Cherargei anadai kuwa kauli hizo, zilizotolewa katika mikutano ya kisiasa na mahojiano ya vyombo vya habari, zimeibua hofu kuhusu athari zake kwa umoja wa kitaifa. Kulingana na malalamishi hayo, Bw Gachagua anadaiwa kuhusisha baadhi ya wanajamii wa Wakalenjin na uhalifu, ukosefu wa usalama na ghasia zilizopangwa mbali na kutamka matamshi ya chuki. Seneta huyo alisema aliambatanisha ushahidi baadhi yazo ikiwa ni video na nakala ya hotuba ya Bw Gachagua kufuatia madai ya kutekwa nyara kwa mbunge mmoja. Anadai kuwa Bw Gachagua alidai baadhi ya maafisa wa serikali kutoka jamii ya Wakalenjin waliunda kikosi maalumu cha polisi cha kuwafuatilia viongozi wa upinzani, madai ambayo hayajathibitishwa na NCIC wala mahakama.

Serikali yasema imepata shamba la kuzipa makao familia 21,000 zilizofurushwa Mau
SERIKALI inakaribia kutatua moja ya migogoro ya muda mrefu katika Bonde la Ufa baada ya kuthibitisha kuwa imepata mashamba makubwa katika Kaunti ya Narok ili kuzipa makazi mapya familia zilizofurushwa kutoka Msitu wa Mau pamoja na watu wengine wasio na ardhi. Hatua hiyo inalenga kumaliza mateso ya zaidi ya familia 21,000 zilizofurushwa katika oparesheni mbalimbali za serikali ndani ya kipindi cha miaka 21 iliyopita. Tangazo hilo linajiri huku Rais William Ruto akitarajiwa kuzuru Kusini mwa Bonde la Ufa mwezi ujao. Waziri wa Usalama wa Ndani, Kipchumba Murkomen, alisema serikali iko katika hatua za mwisho za kuwafidia waathiriwa wa Mau na kuwapa makazi mapya waliokosa ardhi katika Kaunti ya Narok. Akizungumza Kapkwen, Kaunti ya Bomet, alisema Wizara ya Ardhi inakamilisha taratibu za mwisho na kwamba orodha ya walionufaika itatangazwa hivi karibuni. Katibu Mkuu wa Wizara ya Kilimo na Maendeleo ya Mifugo, Dkt Paul Kipronoh Ronoh, pia alisema maagizo ya Rais Ruto ya kuwahamisha waathiriwa hao tayari yanatekelezwa. "Serikali imefanikiwa kupata ardhi ya kuhamishia familia zilizofurushwa kutoka Msitu wa Mau katika maeneo ya Narok Kusini na Narok Magharibi pamoja na watu wasio na ardhi Angata Barikoi, eneobunge la Kilgoris," akasema. Kiongozi wa Wengi katika Seneti, Aaron Cheruiyot, alisema serikali tayari imelipia baadhi ya mashamba hayo na hatimiliki zimekabidhiwa Wizara ya Ardhi. Pia alisema serikali iko katika hatua za mwisho za kununua zaidi ya ekari 5,000 zinazomilikiwa na familia ya aliyekuwa Mkuu wa Mkoa, marehemu Isaiah Cheluget, katika eneo la Tendwet, Narok Magharibi. Kwa mujibu wa Seneta huyo, uhakiki wa majina ya waathiriwa umekamilika na serikali sasa inakamilisha utaratibu wa kugawa fidia na ardhi. Suala la kufurushwa kwa wakazi wa Mau limekuwa ajenda ya kisiasa kwa zaidi ya miongo miwili. Tangu 2005, marais na wagombea mbalimbali wameahidi kuwafidia na kuwapa makazi mapya walioathiriwa, lakini ahadi hizo zimekuwa zikicheleweshwa. Katika muhula wa pili wa Rais Uhuru Kenyatta, maelfu ya familia zilifurushwa tena kutoka maeneo yanayopakana na msitu, huku nyumba, mashamba na mali nyingine zikiharibiwa katika operesheni iliyoongozwa na aliyekuwa Kamishina Ukanda wa Bonde la Ufa George Natembeya. Rais Ruto amesema serikali yake tayari imelipa familia 2,000 fidia ya Sh300,000 kila moja na imeahidi kuwahamisha jumla ya familia 12,000 ili ziishi maisha ya kibinadamu. Hata hivyo, baadhi ya viongozi na wakazi wanasema kiwango hicho cha fedha hakitoshi kununua ardhi wala kujenga nyumba. "Kiasi cha Sh300,000 hakitoshi hata kununua kiwanja, sembuse kujenga nyumba. Watu walipoteza mashamba, mifugo, mazao na mali nyingine. Wanastahili fidia ya haki," alisema kiongozi wa eneo hilo Johnstone Kiptanui. Seneta wa Narok Ledama Ole Kina, ambaye hapo awali aliunga mkono kufurushwa kwa wakazi hao ili kulinda msitu, sasa anasema wakati umefika serikali iwape makazi mapya na fidia kwa kuwa lengo la kuhifadhi Msitu wa Mau. Hatua ya serikali ya kuharakisha mpango huo inachukuliwa kuwa jaribio la kumaliza mgogoro ambao umeathiri maelfu ya familia na umekuwa ukitumiwa kama ajenda ya kisiasa katika kila uchaguzi mkuu tangu 2007.

Mawaziri wa Ruto wazozana Wahome akimponda Duale, Kindiki naye akimkemea Ruku
UHASAMA mkali unaendelea kulikumba Baraza la Mawaziri la Rais William Ruto huku mawaziri wake wakijibizana hadharani na kuibua maswali kuhusu uwezekano wa kutekeleza mabadiliko kuelekea kura ya 2027. Licha ya Rais Ruto kusema akiwa kituo cha kibiashara cha Amagoro, Teso, Busia kuwa hajaanza siasa, mawaziri wake wanaendelea kuzozana huku malumbano yao yakichukua mkondo wa siasa za kikabila. Uhasama wa ndani kwa ndani umeibua maswali kuhusu uwezo wa baraza hilo la mawaziri kuwajibikia Wakenya ipasavyo, miezi 12 kabla ya kura kuwadia. Tukio la hivi punde ni majibizano makali kati ya Waziri wa Afya Aden Duale na Waziri wa Ardhi Alice Wahome kuhusu matamshi ambayo Bw Duale anadaiwa kutoa dhidi ya jamii ya Mlima Kenya. Aidha, Naibu wa Rais Prof Kithure Kindiki ametofautiana vikali na Waziri wa Utumishi wa Umma Geoffrey Ruku kuhusu Mlima Kenya Mashariki kutengana na Magharibi na kujiamulia kivyake mustakabali wake wa kisiasa. Kwenye video ambayo ilisambaa katika mitandao ya kijamii, Bw Duale akiongea kwa lugha ya mama, anadaiwa kulinganisha jamii ya Agikuyu na ya Wasomali kwa kutumia idadi yao nchini huku akidai jamii yake ya Wasomali imekuwa ikibaguliwa na tawala zilizopita za marais Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki na Uhuru Kenyatta wote huku nyingine zikinufaika. Akiongea katika Kaunti ya Mandera, Bw Duale alilinganisha jamii ya Agikuyu na fisi ambaye hutaka kula kila kitu isitake jamii nyingine zinufaike kwa miradi ya serikali. Katika video hiyo, Bw Duale alimshukuru Rais Ruto kwa kumaliza kile alichosema ni uongozi ambao umekuwa ukipendelea jamii moja na kubagua jamii nyingine. Waziri wa Ardhi, Alice Wahome ni kati ya viongozi kutoka Ukanda wa Mlima Kenya ambao sasa wanataka Bw Duale aombe msamaha kwa kauli yake. Waziri huyo tayari amesema hawezi kuomba msamaha kwa sababu aliyekuwa Naibu Rais Rigathi Gachagua amewahi kuyatoa matamshi yanayoweza kufasiriwa kama ya kikabila lakini hajawahi kuchukuliwa hatua zozote. Vilevile Bw Duale amesema kuwa hatafika mbele ya Tume ya Kitaifa ya Uwiano na Utangamano (NCIC) iwapo Bw Gachagua hatafanya hivyo kwanza. "Makosa mawili hayafanyi jambo liwe sawa na ni mpumbavu tu ndiye asiyebadilisha fikra zake," akaandika Bi Wahome kwenye mtandao wa X. Bi Wahome ambaye alihudumu kama mbunge wa Kandara kabla ya kuteuliwa waziri, ni wa kwanza kwenye baraza la mawaziri kumshambulia Bw Duale na kumtaka aombe msamaha. Mbali na waziri huyo baadhi ya viongozi kutoka Mlima Kenya akiwemo Gavana wa Kirinyaga Anne Waiguru na Mbunge wa Githunguri Gathoni Wamuchomba wamemshambulia Bw Duale kutokana na matamshi yake hayo. Waziri huyo naye amejitetea kuwa matamshi yake, 'Waraabe la-tagis bartay, ka-ridis waa ku dhib', ni methali ya Kisomali wala haikulenga jamii fulani. "Ujumbe wangu ulilenga kuhakikisha kuna umoja jinsi ambavyo serikali imekuwa ikifanya bila kujali dini au kabila," akasema Bw Duale. "Nilenga kuonyesha ugumu wa kumalizwa kwa mtindo ambao upande mmoja umekuwa ukinufaika kwa kipindi kirefu. Sikulenga jamii yoyote au kumdunisha yeyote. Kuna jaribio la kufasiri matamshi yangu visivyo," akasema. Uhasama mwingine ulioonekana wazi katika baraza la mawaziri ni ule kati ya Prof Kindiki na Bw Ruku kuhusu Mlima Kenya Mashariki kuwa na mwelekeo wa kisiasa 2027. Mlima Kenya Mashariki una kaunti za Embu, Tharaka-Nithi, Meru na sehemu ya kaunti za Kirinyaga na inakadiriwa itakuwa na karibu kura milioni mbili mnamo 2027. Eneo hili limekuwa likipiga kura kwenye kapu moja na wenzao wa Nyandarua, Murangá, Nyeri, Kiambu, Laikipia na Nakuru. Bw Ruku anasema mtindo huu umefanya wabaguliwe na hata sasa wanaonewa gere kwa kushikilia wadhifa wa Naibu Rais. "Mimi siwachukii Wakikuyu lakini lazima tufurahie utambulisho wetu. Tulikuwa na majenerali waliopigania uhuru wa nchi kutoka Mlima Kenya Mashariki ndiyo maana tuliwaunga Jomo Kenyatta, Kibaki na Uhuru," akasema mnamo Juni 30 katika ibada ya Kanisa Kaunti ya Kiambu. "Haiwezekani kuwa mwana wa kiume kutoka Mlima Kenya Mashariki akifanya kazi na Rais Ruto basi viongozi wa Mlima Kenya Magharibi wanatuambia serikali ni mbaya na tunafaa kutoka. Hatutatoka," akaongeza Bw Ruku. Hata hivyo, Naibu wa Rais alionekana kumkemea siku chache baadaye akisema eneo hilo limeungana kwa kipindi kirefu na linastahili kuendelea kufanya hivyo. "Sitaki watu wazungumze lugha tofauti kwa sababu tumefanya mambo mengi pamoja, tuna historia pevu na hakuna kitu ambacho kitatutenganisha," akasema Prof Kindiki mnamo Julai 19 wakati wa ibada katika Kaunti ya Embu. Aidha, Prof Kindiki alikiri kuwa anajikuna kichwa kuhusu unaibu rais ambao unamezewa mate na viongozi wengine kama Waziri wa Vyama vya Ushirika Wycliffe Oparanya lakini akasisitiza hawabanduki serikalini. "Najua tumeongezeka akina Oparanya wamekuja lakini hatuondoki, tutang'ang'ana hapa ndani," akasema Kindiki. Wikendi iliyopita, Prof Kindiki aliwachemkia viongozi ambao wanamezea mate wadhifa wake na kumsawiri kama asiyefaa kushikilia wadhifa huo. "Serikali haiwezi kuwa mzuri wakati naibu rais akitoka upande wao na ni mbaya akitoka hapa. Wakati Uhuru alikuwa rais tulimuunga mkono na hatuwezi kubali jamii ya eneo hilo liongee lugha tofauti," akasema Profesa Kindiki. "Ni haki yao kuenda mahali wameenda lakini upande wao wamepangana na namba zote zimeenda na tuko namba 20. Rais Ruto akimaliza muhula wake urais utakuja pande hii," akasema. Wikendi viongozi wa ODM kutoka Nyanza na Magharibi walisisitiza kuwa UDA ikiwahi urais naye mgombeaji mwenza anastahili kutoka chama hicho cha chungwa. "Watu wakuje pole pole na wajue kwamba huwezi kuruka laini. UDA ikipata urais, sisi lazima tupate naibu rais na huyo ni Oparanya," akasema Kiongozi wa Wachache Junet Mohamed wikendi akiwa Kakamega. Kwa mujibu wa Mchanganuzi wa Masuala ya Kisiasa Profesa Lumala Masibo ni wazi kuwa baraza la mawaziri lina vita vya ndani kwa ndani hasa baada ya Profesa Kindiki kuonekana kuanza kuridhiana na Bw Gachagua. "Baadhi sasa wanamwona kama anayejipanga kivyake na hata alivyoongea wikendi, anaonekana kama mtu ambaye si mtiifu sana kwa Rais tena. Anaweza aje kudai unaibu rais utasalia kwake ilhali si anayeteua mshikilizi wa nafasi hiyo," akasema Profesa Masibo. Kauli yake inatokana na hatua ya Bw Gachagua kuwaamrisha viongozi wanaoumuunga mkono wasimshambulie Profesa Kindiki bali wamlenge Rais Ruto moja kwa moja. "Baada ya Ol Kalou ni dhahiri kuwa Rais amepoteza Mlima Kenya na shida sasa ni kupambania nafasi ya mgombeaji mwenza. Pia baadhi ya mawaziri kutoka Mlima Kenya sasa wanajificha nyuma ya kauli ya Bw Duale kumridhisha Gachagua kwa sababu ya umaarufu wake mlimani," akaongeza.
