Mke mwema hutoka kwa bwana11/1/2022 “They called us to State House and we took ugali and said ‘ kwaheri, tuonane kesho’ (goodbye, see you another time). On Wednesday Governor Ruto led his colleagues Peter Munya (Meru) and Ahmed Abdullahi (Wajir) to a State House meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta, which was thought would result in the governors dropping their bid.īut the Bomet governor said the meeting they had with the President was more talk and less action, something the county governments are not prepared to take. The CoG is also demanding that the government devolves management of forests, lands and education funds for infrastructure development. “In total we are asking for Sh102 billion for devolved functions and many more in the so-called Jubilee promises that were in our manifesto,” said Mr Ruto, who is also the Bomet Governor. Governors spurned the latest overtures by the Jubilee administration asking them to drop their referendum bid because the government has not given them any concrete commitments on the Sh102 billion they are seeking to be given to counties.Ĭouncil of Governors (CoG) chairman Isaac Ruto told the Sunday Nation the bulk of the money was being held by the ministry of Health (Sh19 billion), ministry of Water (Sh24 billion) and ministry of Roads (more than Sh30 billion).

Majiwe yatalifanya jiji la Arusha liwe kama Kikatiti siku si nyingi. Ni vema kukataa Chama kilichowasababishia wana-Arusha maafa kwa ujio wake tu, Arusha siyo salama, Cdm ni gundu Arusha. Hapo ni sawa na dereva ameondoa gari stend ya Arusha tu, amefika Mianzini tayari ameshapasua indicator zote! Hiyo safari ya Moshi itafika salama? Athari za kuweka majiwe kwenye kata zenu, mmeziona. Lema na Cdm wameifanyia nini Arusha tangu amekuwa mbunge? Wananchi wa Arusha ni vema kuchagua viongozi walio tayari kushirikiana na viongozi wa kiserikali. Ili maendeleo yapatikane, Lema hana budi kushirikiana na mkuu wa mkoa na siyo kupingana nae ili kuwaumiza wananchi wa kawaida. Lema anachotafuta yy ni kupigiwa makofi na wananchi wakati Mkuu wa mkoa anatekeleza wajibu wa kimkoa katika serikali. Kimsingi Mvutano kati ya Lema na Mkuu wa Mkoa tangu wawili hawa wamepewa nafasi ya kusimamia shughul za Arusha, wanaoumia ni wananchi pale inapotokea kusigana kwao, hakuna shughuli za maendeleo zinazoendelea japo mishahara yao na marupurupu viko pale pale. Tumeshuhudia majiwe yaliyowekwa kwenye kata kwa njia ya maandamano ambayo ni majiwe kweli kweli maana baada ya kuwekwa hayafanyi chochote ila yametulia tu huku wale walioyaweka wanailalamikia serikali wakati majiwe yanayowawakilisha yenyewe yametulia yanakula bila jasho. Katika jiji la Arusha maisha ni magumu sana asikuambie mtu, hapa watu wanakuja kutumia, utafutaji hapa ni mgumu, na hii ni kutokana na mvutano wa kiutawala na wa kisiasa tangu kumkaribisha pepo chadema. Kama maendeleo siku hizi yanapimwa na mizani ya kura katika siasa, basi Arusha itazidi kuwa chini, ugumu wa maisha utapaa, kwasababu watu hawataki kufanya kazi ya kujipatia kipato halali, hakuna maelewano kati ya watawala na wanasiasa, na wanaoumia ni wananchi na siyo watawala wala wanasiasa.
