Taifa Leo inafafanua marufuku ya vijiko na uma Mombasa kama kichekesho

Taifa Leo imefafanua kuwa taarifa yake kuhusu Bunge la Kaunti ya Mombasa kupiga marufuku vijiko, uma na visu katika migahawa ya Kisiwa cha Mombasa ilikuwa kichekesho cha Sikukuu ya Wajinga ya Aprili 1. Hatua hiyo haikutekelezwa na Bunge wala hakuna sheria kama hiyo. Taarifa ilichapishwa kwa kusudi la kichekesho.

Taifa Leo ilichapisha taarifa Jumanne ikidai Bunge la Kaunti ya Mombasa limepitisha sheria mpya inayopiga marufuku matumizi ya vijiko, uma na visu katika migahawa yote ndani ya Kisiwa cha Mombasa.

Sheria hiyo ilidaiwa inalenga kukuza utamaduni wa Waswahili kwa kuwahamasisha wateja kula kwa mikono kulingana na mila za Pwani, huku biashara zikiagizwa kuweka vifaa vya kunawa mikono na kutoa mwongozo wa usafi. Wale wanaokiuka wangeshtakiwa faini au kupokonywa leseni. Mmoja wa madiwani alisema, “Kula kwa mikono ni sehemu muhimu ya utamaduni wetu na ni utambulisho tunaotaka kuuonyesha ulimwengu.”

Baadaye, gazeti lilitolea ufafanuzi kuwa taarifa hiyo ilikuwa kichekesho cha #AprilFoolsDay na #SikukuuYaWajinga, na hakuna mabadiliko katika sera za kaunti.

Wadau wa utalii waliosifiwa katika taarifa ya kichekesho walisema hatua itafanya Mombasa kuwa kitovu cha utamaduni, ingawa baadhi ya wakazi walionyesha wasiwasi.
