Wetang'ula: Ukabila hauna nafasi katika siasa za Kenya

Spika wa Bunge la Kitaifa Moses Wetang'ula amewataka viongozi wa kisiasa kuachana na siasa za ukabila na kuhubiri umoja wa kitaifa, akionya kuwa matamshi ya chuki yanaweza kugawanya taifa kuelekea Uchaguzi Mkuu wa 2027. Akizungumza Jumamosi katika eneo la Oloiborsoito, Kilgoris, Kaunti ya Narok, wakati wa hafla ya kuchangia fedha Shirika la Wanawake la Olerai, Wetang'ula alisema tofauti za kisiasa hazipaswi kugeuka kuwa chuki, vurugu au uhasama wa kikabila. "Mtu yeyote anayehubiri ukabila ana fikra za zamani. Tunaweza kutofautiana kisiasa, lakini hiyo si sababu ya kutukanana au kuumizana," alisema. Aliwataka wanasiasa kuepuka matamshi ya uchochezi yanayoweza kuwashawishi vijana kuingia katika vurugu, akisisitiza kuwa viongozi wana wajibu wa kuimarisha amani na mshikamano wa kitaifa. "Siasa hazipaswi kuwa sababu ya umwagaji damu. Vijana ni mustakabali wa taifa na hawapaswi kutumiwa katika migogoro ya kisiasa," alisema. Wetang'ula alisema kuwawezesha wanawake na vijana kupitia ujuzi na fursa za kiuchumi ni muhimu kwa maendeleo ya taifa. Pia alisifu jamii ya Wamaasai kwa kuhifadhi utamaduni wao, akisema umechangia kukuza utalii nchini. Spika huyo alimkosoa aliyekuwa Naibu Rais Rigathi Gachagua kwa madai ya kutoa matamshi yanayoweza kudhoofisha sekta ya utalii, huku akitoa wito wa kutungwa kwa sheria zitakazolinda wachimbaji madini na kuwawezesha kunufaika na rasilimali za taifa. Katika hafla hiyo, mshauri wa Rais William Ruto, Farouk Kibet, aliwataka wakazi wa Kilgoris kuishi kwa amani, huku Kiongozi wa Wengi katika Seneti Aaron Cheruiyot akilaani siasa za ukabila na kuitaka Wizara ya Usalama kuchukua hatua dhidi ya viongozi wanaotoa matamshi ya uchochezi. Mbunge wa Kitutu Chache North Japheth Nyakundi aliwataka viongozi kuzingatia sera za maendeleo badala ya siasa za kikabila, huku Mbunge wa Kibwezi West Mwengi Mutuse akitetea rekodi ya maendeleo ya serikali ya Rais William Ruto.
