Wizara ya Mambo Ndani inaamuru kuachiliwa kwa pikipiki 188 zilizochukuliwa huko Kilifi

Wizara ya Mambo ya Ndani imetoa amri ya kuachiliwa mara moja kwa pikipiki 188 zilizochukuliwa huko Kaunti ya Kilifi ili kuruhusu waendeshaji wa boda boda kurejea kazi zao. Uamuzi huu unategemea malalamiko ya kucheleweshwa kwa muda mrefu kwa makosa madogo na unaambatana na amri ya rais. Katibu Mkuu Raymond Omollo alitangaza hatua hii katika mkutano na viongozi wa sekta.

Wizara ya Mambo ya Ndani imeamuru kuachiliwa kwa pikipiki 188 zinazoshikiliwa katika vituo mbalimbali vya polisi huko Kilifi. Pikipiki hizi zilichukuliwa kwa makosa madogo ya trafiki, na amri hii inafuata malalamiko ya waendeshaji juu ya kucheleweshwa kwa muda mrefu.

Katibu Mkuu wa Usalama wa Ndani na Utawala wa Taifa, Raymond Omollo, alisema uamuzi unapatana na amri ya awali ya Rais William Ruto inayolenga kusaidia sekta ya usafiri usio rasmi. Mkutano wa juu uliofanyika ulimudu viongozi wa boda boda kutoka Kilifi na kaunti jirani pamoja na wawakilishi wa usalama.

“我们 tumekubaliana na mashirika ya usalama kwamba pikipiki zote zilizoshikiliwa kwa makosa madogo ziachiliwe bila kuchelewa,” Omollo alisema, akiongeza kuwa ripoti kamili itawasilishwa hadi Jumatatu ili kuhakikisha kufuata.

Omollo alionya dhidi ya kuwahusisha waendeshaji wote na uhalifu, akisema ni kundi dogo tu la wahalifu. Aliwahimiza waendeshaji kushirikiana na Maafisa wa Utawala wa Serikali ya Taifa (NGAO) na timu za usalama ili kutambua na kutenganisha waasi.

Pia, serikali imehimiza kufuata sheria za usalama barabarani, ikijumuisha leseni sahihi, mafunzo na bima. Serikali imetangaza mipango ya kuimarisha SACCOs za boda boda kupitia fedha na kuhamia pikipiki za umeme.
