Wadukuzi wavuruga tovuti rasmi ya Rais Ruto, wadai Sh41 milioni za Bitcoin
SERIKALI jana ililazimika kuzima tovuti rasmi ya Rais William Ruto baada ya wadukuzi kuivamia na kuweka ujumbe wa vitisho pamoja na kudai walipwe Bitcoin tano, za thamani ya takriban Sh41.3 milioni. Wakenya waliojaribu kufungua tovuti ya president.go.ke Jumamosi walikuta maudhui ya kawaida yameondolewa na nafasi yake kuchukuliwa na ujumbe uliomlenga Rais Ruto. Wadukuzi hao walidai kuwa watafichua taarifa ambazo hawakuzitaja iwapo hawangelipwa fedha hizo. "Huu ni ujumbe wa tatu kwako kabla hatujafichua kila kitu kukuhusu. Lipa Bitcoin tano kwenye pochi hii ya Bitcoin ikiwa unataka amani kabla ya saa kumi na mbili jioni," ulisema ujumbe huo. Pia waliweka anwani ya pochi ya Bitcoin na kutaja majina ya watu watatu. Muda mfupi baadaye, tovuti hiyo ilizimwa na kuwekwa ujumbe unaosema ilikuwa ikifanyiwa matengenezo. Waziri wa Habari, Mawasiliano na Uchumi wa Kidijitali, William Kabogo, alithibitisha shambulio hilo na kusema Mamlaka ya ICT ilianzisha mara moja utaratibu wa kukabiliana na tukio hilo. "Baada ya kugundua shambulio hilo, Mamlaka ya ICT ilianzisha taratibu zilizowekwa za kushughulikia matukio ya usalama wa mtandao," alisema Kabogo. Alisema tovuti hiyo ilisitishwa kwa muda ili kuruhusu uchunguzi wa kitaalamu, kudhibiti athari za shambulio na kurejesha huduma. Kabogo alisema hatua za kukabiliana na tatizo hilo tayari zilichukuliwa na kazi ya kurejesha tovuti kuendelea. Aliongeza kuwa hadi sasa hakuna ushahidi unaoonyesha kuwa wadukuzi waliiba taarifa muhimu au kufikia data muhimu za serikali. "Hakuna ushahidi wa mtu asiyeidhinishwa kufikia taarifa muhimu, kuiba data au kupotea kwa taarifa. Mifumo ya serikali na huduma za kidijitali zinaendelea kufanya kazi kwa usalama," alisema. Aliongeza kuwa Mamlaka ya ICT inashirikiana na mashirika mengine ya serikali pamoja na wataalamu wa teknolojia kufanya uchunguzi wa kina kubaini chanzo cha shambulio hilo. Iwapo serikali ingelipa kiasi kilichodaiwa, ingetoa karibu Sh41.3 milioni, kwa kuwa Bitcoin moja kwa sasa ina thamani ya takriban Sh8.27 milioni. Kufikia wakati wa kuchapishwa kwa habari hii, Mkuu wa Huduma ya Mawasiliano ya Rais Munyori Buku na Msemaji wa Ikulu Hussein Mohammed hawakuwa wamejibu simu wala ujumbe wa kutaka maoni yao kuhusu tukio hilo. Hili ni shambulio la pili kubwa dhidi ya mifumo ya serikali katika kipindi cha miezi michache. Mnamo Novemba 2025, wadukuzi walivuruga tovuti ya Rais pamoja na zile za Wizara za Usalama wa Ndani, Afya, Elimu, Kazi na Nishati. Pia walilenga Idara ya Uhamiaji, Idara ya Upelelezi wa Jinai (DCI), Hazina ya Hasla na Serikali ya Kaunti ya Nairobi. Baada ya mashambulizi hayo, Wizara ya Usalama wa Ndani ilisema yalitekelezwa na kundi lililojitambulisha kama PCP@Kenya. Mwaka 2023, mfumo wa eCitizen pia uliangushwa na wadukuzi, hali iliyokatiza zaidi ya huduma 5,000 za serikali kabla ya kurejeshwa. Serikali ilisema wakati huo kuwa hakuna taarifa za wananchi zilizovuja. Shambulio hili linajiri huku Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Hesabu za Serikali Nancy Gathungu akiendelea kuonya kuhusu udhaifu wa mifumo ya ICT katika taasisi za umma. Katika ripoti zake za ukaguzi, Gathungu amesema taasisi nyingi za serikali hazina sera madhubuti za ICT, zina udhibiti hafifu wa mifumo, hazina mipango ya kuendelea kutoa huduma wakati wa dharura na zina mapungufu katika usimamizi wa mifumo ya kidijitali. Alionya kuwa hali hiyo inaweza kuhatarisha shughuli za serikali na usalama wa taarifa muhimu za umma. Miongoni mwa mifumo iliyotajwa kuwa na mapungufu ni eCitizen, ambayo ilibainika kukosa sera iliyoidhinishwa ya ICT, mpango wa kuendelea na shughuli wakati wa dharura, kamati ya ICT na kituo mbadala cha kuhifadhi taarifa. Aidha, Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano Kenya (CA) imekuwa ikionya kuwa uelewa mdogo wa wafanyakazi kuhusu mashambulizi ya mtandaoni, pamoja na kuongezeka kwa mashambulizi yanayotumia Akili Unde (AI), kumeongeza hatari ya taasisi za umma kuvamiwa na wadukuzi.

Chama chazinduliwa kulinda haki za wafanyakazi katika miradi ya kilimo
CHAMA kipya cha kitaaluma kimezinduliwa nchini ili kuimarisha ulinzi wa haki za kibinadamu za wafanyakazi na jamii zinazoathiriwa kwenye miradi ya kilimo na maendeleo, wasiwasi ukishamiri kuhusu ukiukaji wa haki za wafanyakazi, migogoro ya ardhi na ulegevu wa ulinzi wa kijamii. Social Impact Management Association of Kenya (SIMAK), ni muungano utakaowakutanisha wataalamu wanaohakikisha miradi ya maendeleo, hususan katika kilimo na miundombinu, inazingatia haki za kibinadamu na kushirikisha jamii zinazoathirika. Kaimu Mwenyekiti wa chama hicho, Profesa Edward Ontita, akizungumza wakati wa uzinduzi rasmi jijini Nairobi alisema lengo ni kuhakikisha kila mradi mkubwa unakuwa na maafisa wa usimamizi wa kijamii kuanzia hatua ya kupanga hadi kukamilika. "Tunataka viwango endelevu vizingatiwe katika miradi yote ya maendeleo. Maendeleo yanawahusu watu, hivyo haki zao lazima zilindwe," akasema. [caption id="attachment_190228" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Kaimu Mwenyekiti wa Social Impact Management Association of Kenya (SIMAK), Profesa Edward Ontita (kulia) akikabidhi mmoja wa wanachama wa muungano huo cheti cha kuwa memba. Picha|Sammy Waweru[/caption] Prof Ontita alisema mashamba makubwa ya kilimo ni miongoni mwa sekta zilizoathirika zaidi na ukatili wa kijinsia, unyanyasaji wa kingono, mishahara duni na mazingira mabaya ya kazi. "Baadhi ya wafanyakazi hulipwa chini ya kiwango cha chini cha mshahara kilichowekwa kisheria, huku wengine wakikosa maji safi, vyoo bora na uhuru wa kujiunga na vyama vya wafanyakazi. Hizi ni haki za msingi za binadamu," alisema. Aliongeza kuwa jamii zinapaswa kushirikishwa kuanzia hatua za kwanza, hasa katika miradi inayohusisha ununuzi wa ardhi na ulipaji wa fidia. Aidha, alisema miradi ya mikopo ya kaboni na uhifadhi wa bioanuwai inapaswa kushirikisha wananchi kikamilifu ili wanufaike. "Kutofuata masharti ya ulinzi wa kijamii husababisha ucheleweshaji wa miradi na hasara ambazo tumefanya hesabu zinafika Sh600 bilioni" Ontita alionya. [caption id="attachment_190230" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Kaimu Mwenyekiti wa Social Impact Management Association of Kenya (SIMAK), Profesa Edward Ontita wakati wa mahojiano jijini Nairobi mnamo Juni 26, 2026. Picha|Sammy Waweru[/caption] Kwa upande wake, Kaimu Karani katika Idara ya Maendeleo ya Jamii katika Wizara ya Ulinzi wa Jamii na Masuala ya Wazee, Dkt Lynett Ochuma, alisema serikali inaandaa sera ya kitaifa ya kusimamia hatari zinazokumba jamii ili kuoanisha sekta hiyo na viwango vya kimataifa huku ikizingatia mazingira ya wafanyakazi nchini Kenya. Alisema sera hiyo itashughulikia haki za wafanyakazi, afya na usalama wa jamii, kuzuia unyanyasaji wa kingono, kulinda makundi yaliyotengwa na kuhakikisha ununuzi wa ardhi na uhamishaji wa watu unafanyika kwa haki. "Ushirikishwaji wa wadau ni msingi wa maendeleo. Maendeleo hayapaswi kudhuru jamii bali yanapaswa kuwa jumuishi," alisema, akiongeza kuwa sera hiyo itawasilishwa bungeni kama mswada baada ya kukamilika.
