Wajir wakabiliwa na uhaba wa malazi kabla ya Madaraka Dei

Mji wa Wajir unakabiliwa na uhaba mkubwa wa vyumba vya kulala huku ukijiandaa kuandaa sherehe za kitaifa za Madaraka Dei zitakazoongozwa na Rais William Ruto Jumatatu ijayo.

Maelfu ya wageni wanatarajiwa kuhudhuria hafla hiyo mjini Wajir. Hoteli zote nane zilizopo zimejaa kabisa, na bei za vyumba zimepanda maradufu hadi Sh3,000 kwa usiku.

Caroline Kinoti wa New Lodge alisema maafisa wa serikali wamehifadhi vyumba kwa ajili ya wageni wa kitaifa. Ismael Hassan, mmiliki wa hoteli, alisema mji huo hauna uwezo wa kutosha na ameanza kukodisha nyumba za watu binafsi hadi Juni 5, 2026.

Kamishna wa Kaskazini Mashariki John Otieno alikiri kuwa malazi yaliyopo hayatoshi kwa hafla hii kubwa. Serikali na kaunti zimeanza kukodisha nyumba za kibinafsi ili kuwahudumia wageni.
