Natembeya analalamika dhuluma ya serikali baada ya kutoa usalama wake

Gavana wa Trans Nzoia George Natembeya amekosoa dhuluma inayodaiwa kutoka kwa serikali wakati wa sherehe za Siku ya Jamhuri, akidai kuwa yuko kama mfungwa anayetembea bila usalama wake na dereva.

Wakati wa kutoa hotuba katika sherehe za Siku ya Jamhuri huko Trans Nzoia mnamo Desemba 13, 2025, Gavana George Natembeya alisema kuwa hana cha kusherehekea. Alidai kuwa usalama wake na dereva wake bado hawajarudishwa na serikali, na kwamba hii ni kwa sababu ya kukosoa utawala wa Rais William Ruto. "Mimi ni mfungwa anayetembea; usalama wangu na dereva wangu waliondolewa kwa sababu ninasema ukweli kwa mamlaka," alisema Natembeya.

Natembeya alijivunia mateso yake, akisema kuwa atakumbukwa kama shujaa aliyesimama na watu. "Siku moja, tunapokufa wote, mtataza Siku ya Jamhuri kusherehekea kuwa kulikuwa na mtu aitwaye Natembeya duniani," alidai. Alikosoa pia watawala wengine wa kaunti kwa kutoinuka dhidi ya Ruto katika Mkutano wa 12 wa Utawala wa Taifa na Serikali za Kaunti uliofanyika Desemba 10, 2025, katika Ikulu. Alisema watawala hao walijadili masuala katika kikundi cha WhatsApp baada ya mkutano badala ya kuyataja moja kwa moja.

Aidha, Natembeya alirudia kupinga kuvukwa kwa wakazi wa Ikolomani kutoka ardhi yao ya mababu iliyogunduliwa kuwa na dhahabu. Alidai kuwa baadhi ya Kenyans wanajifanya wageni ili kuchuma dhahabu hiyo badala ya wakazi wa eneo hilo. Kama sauti ya upinzani katika eneo la Magharibi, Natembeya anapinga ushawishi wa Waziri Mkuu wa Baraza la Mawaziri Musalia Mudavadi na Spika wa Bunge Moses Wetangula.
