Usiniulize Mimi, muulize huyo mtangazaji na hiyo TV yenu ambayo inaitangazia dunia nzima kwamba hakutokua na mawasiliano ya barabara na Uganda endapo daraja la pili litafungwa. Kumbuka kwamba TV inawafikia watu wengi na madhara yake ni makubwa endapo watatoa taarifa za uongo. Sasa hivi tayari wafanyabiashara wanaotumia bandari ya Mombasa wa Uganda watakua na wasiwasi, labda kama GoK itatoa tamka kukanusha hiyo taarifa.

Watabana wataachia wenyewe!
Kajiado county government has indefinitely closed its three border entry points to Tanzania to avert a possible spread of coronavirus from the neighbouring country.

Governor Joseph ole Lenku said the entry points at Namanga, Loitoktok and Shompole pose a threat to the fight to tame deadly virus because too many illegal immigrants from Tanzania are entering Kenya through them.

Kenya also shares border crossing points with Tanzania—whose Covid-19 infections now stand at 480 with 16 reported deaths at Lunga Lunga, Isebenia, Taita Taveta and Holili.


However, Tanzania has been accused of taking a lacklustre approach in the fight against deadly respiratory flu, with reports that President John Magufuli was considering restarting the Tanzania Premier League matches after a six-week break.

Yesterday, Magufuli whose government has been criticised for being secretive and dismissive on pandemic and has previously asked Tanzanians to pray the coronavirus away, said the figures of positive are questionable, claiming the testing kits had “technical errors”.

He said the kits had returned positive results on samples taken from a goat and a pawpaw.

In mid March, the country closed all schools and extended a ban on public gatherings including schools, football leagues, sports, music events, political meetings and community events.

And on Saturday, Tanzania’s leading opposition party called for the suspension of Parliament after three legislators died from unknown causes in the past 11 days.

Augustine Mahiga, Tanzania’s minister for Constitution and Legal Affairs died on Friday with no official explanation over his death. The others are Getrude Rwakatare and Richard Ndassa.

And speaking at Tarakea Loitoktok yesterday, Lenku also directed the suspension of trading between residents of the two neighbouring East Africa Community states.

“Tens of people are using panya routes to enter our country and specifically Kajiado county. We cannot allow any compromise on issues of our health,” said Lenku.

He stressed that despite the existing EAC bilateral trade links that allow free movement of people across the two countries, the county cannot allow further trade.

He further banned livestock trade, which see thousands of cattle from Tanzania make their way to Ilbisil market and Shompole markets every market day.

“We understand the directive will have adverse economic effects to all of us but we better struggle to revive an ailing economy than lose lives through ignorance,” said Lenku.

He also urged security officers manning the border points to observe stringent measures of ensuring only essential services trucks enter the country.

The governor further wants truck drivers delivering food stuff warned against making stopovers along the way and having the drivers escorted to places of offloading and back to their country.

Lenku has urged Kenyans to also stop movement to Tanzania warning that they are exposed to high risks of Covid-19 since Tanzania has not put safety measures to fight the virus.

Small-scale trade between the neighbouring countries have been going on in the wake of Covid-19 and free movement of people to and from Kajiado.

On the other foreigners are said to have been using the illegal routes to enter the country.

Those businessmen are more informed about the Mombasa Kampala route more than anyone else in the two countries. They know where to follow incase of any unexpected circumstances do occur. For the reporter, I'll give him a benefit of doubt.
 
Not every human being is perfect, huyo jamaa alikuwa amekosea. Yeye amezoea njia ya Mombasa - Eldoret -Malaba na akasahau Mombasa -Kisumu - Busia.
Inapaswa Serikali kukanusa kwa kutumia media kubwa zaidi ili kuwatoa wasiwasi wafanyabiashara wa hizo nchi, sio kwa kukanusha kienyeji kama mnavyofanya humu mitandaoni.

Hadi hapo kutakapotoka tamko rasmi la Serikali au kutoka kwa hiyo TV kukanusha walilolisema, kwa sasa tutaendelea kuamini kilichosemwa na huyo mtangazaji.

Kwa hiyo umuhimu wa vyombo vya habari katika kuhabarisha umma na wafanyabiashara huko kweni haupo badala yake kila mtu atumie uelewa na ufahamu wake binafsi?." That is the real meaning of Banana Republic".

Only Tanzanians will believe the reporter. Because they don't go to Kampala through Kenya. Even Rwandis who travel from Nairobi to Kigali will tell the reporter that he was wrong.

Your argument is below per. So if a reporter comes to your home and say that there is only one way of getting into your home, will you believe him even though you know very well there are some parts you can use to get in and out of the homestead?

Kwa hiyo vyombo vyenu vya habari ni bure kabisa kama hata hawawezi kujua mambo ya ndani ya nchi yao, kwamba wafanyabiashara wa nchi Jirani wanaijua Kenya vizuri kuliko waandishi na media za Kenya. Banana Republic.

Ila mnaziamini zikiandika uwongo na upotoshaji kuhusu Tz...aisee 😂😂😂
The worst thing is the remaining bridge is owned by private company i.e. Mumias sugar meaning the capacity is limited!

Two deaths have been reported in Busia County after River Nzoia burst its banks and displaced over 40,000 people.

Hundreds others are marooned by the raging waters that has submerged villages in Budalangi sub-county and Alego Usonga in Siaya County.

A joint operation effort led by Kenya Coast Guard Service and disaster management and humanitarian assistance organisations traversed the expansive area tying to rescue people trapped in their homes after flash floods hit the region on Friday night.

The body of a two-year-old girl and a boy aged 24 who died at Busagwa area is yet to be retrieved while the situation has been made worse by waters whose levels continue to rise daily.

"We are only relying on one boat after other vessels were moved to Mageta Island to rescue people after a water bus capsized in Lake Victoria on Saturday evening," said Mr Thomas Mango of Busia Community Development Organization.

Due to the shallow waters experienced in some areas, the rescue boats could not access some areas.

"We are overwhelmed by calls from desperate people who have been trapped in their houses," said Mr Mango who is in charge of the operation.

The areas affected include Bunyala Central, Khajula, Bunyala South, Bunyala West, Bunyala East and Bunyala North.
The flood victims are being are being evacuated to 15 designated rescue centres including primary schools.

Due to the government directive to avoid overcrowding at the camps as a way of curbing the spread Covid-19, the locals are being discouraged from integrating with their friends and relatives.

While the classrooms are ideally expected to accommodate at least one family, Mr Mango said they have been forced to place up to three families.

Hundred other families have pitched tent along highways in Nyadorera, Rwambwa and Mudembi where over 90 per cent of the buildings were submerged.

Mrs Angelina Ajwang, 73, from Nyadorera termed the calamity the worst to have ever happened since 1962.

"The build-up started gradually on Friday before it rapidly rose on Saturday. My chicken and other valuables have been swept downstream but I am happy to be alive," she said.

The limited space at the nearby Dibuoro Primary School forced some members of her extended family members to be locked out of the camp.

"We spent the night in the cold by the roadside and had to withstand the rains together with our young children," she told the Nation.

The affected residents are now calling on donors, well-wishers and Siaya County government to offer donations of tarpaulin tents to the victims who have no place to go.

In Nyando, the devastating effect of the floods continues to attract overwhelming support from well-wishers and donor agencies with the national and county governments being called upon to provide a lasting solution to the perennial crisis.

Help from Kenyans living in the US also saw approximately 3,000 people benefiting from blankets, foodstuff such as maize flour, maize and sugar worth Sh500,000.

The donation that was distributed in camps in Nyando, Muhoroni and parts of Kisumu East came through Kano Empowerment Association (KEA) and Kavirondo Men’s Group.

KEA Secretary General Dr George Anyumba challenged governors to use resources available to tackle the challenges they are experiencing.

“Our people can’t keep on suffering due to the flood menace since independence yet a lasting solution to this problem can be found. We need a serious dialogue on how to tackle it once and for all,” he said.

Mr Silas Odhiambo who coordinated the programme said the four-day exercise will deliver the supplies to the vulnerable members in Lela, Masogo, Ong’eche, Bwanda, Kakola Ombaka among other places in the expansive Kano area.

They may be 1000 but what is load capacity (their weight limitation) can bridges for all of these roads carry over 40 tonnes i.e. average weight of trucks from Mombasa port?
