TAHARIRI: Amani na uwazi ni muhimu katika kura ya Ol Kalou

UCHAGUZI mdogo wa ubunge wa Ol Kalou leo ni zaidi ya mashindano ya kisiasa kati ya vyama na wagombea wa vyama vikuu nchini. Ni fursa ya kuonyesha kwamba, Kenya imejifunza kutokana na makosa ya chaguzi zilizopita na kwamba, taasisi zake zina uwezo wa kusimamia uchaguzi ulio huru, wa haki na wa kuaminika. Hii ndiyo maana Tume Huru ya Uchaguzi na Mipaka Nchini (IEBC) ina wajibu leo wa kuhakikisha kuwa kuna viwango vya juu vya uwazi. Mshindi wa uchaguzi wa leo anastahili kuamuliwa kwa haki wala kusiwe na visa ambavyo vitasababisha kura yenyewe kuzua ghasia au kutiliwa shaka. Maafisa wa IEBC wanapaswa kusimamia zoezi hilo kwa uwazi, uadilifu na kutii sheria. Kila kura itakayoopigwa lazima ihesabiwe kwa uwazi, matokeo ya kila kituo yatangazwe wazi na fomu zote za matokeo zitolewe kwa maajenti na kuwekwa hadharani ili kuondoa mashaka. Wapigakura nao wana jukumu la kutumia haki yao ya kidemokrasia kwa amani. Hawapaswi kuruhusu kushawishiwa kwa pesa, vitisho, propaganda au misimamo ya kisiasa inayochochea chuki. Baada ya kupiga kura hakuna haja ya kumiminika vituoni, bali kila mtu aende nyumbani na kuachia IEBC jukumu la kuhesabu kura. Kukusanyika vituoni na kituo cha kujumuisha kura kutazua tu ghasia na makabiliano kati ya wanasiasa pinzani. Aidha, polisi wana wajibu wa kuhakikisha usalama wa kila mtu bila upendeleo. Maafisa wa usalama wanapaswa kuwalinda wapigakura, maajenti wa vyama, maafisa wa uchaguzi na waangalizi wa uchaguzi. Polisi hawapaswi kuegemea upande wowote wala kutumiwa kuvuruga matokeo ya uchaguzi wenyewe. Hatua yoyote ya kukabiliana na ukiukaji wa sheria inapaswa kufanywa kwa kuzingatia sheria. Ni muhimu pia vyama vya kisiasa na wagombea wakubali kuwa ushindi na kushindwa ni sehemu ya demokrasia. Badala ya kutoa matamshi ya uchochezi au kuhamasisha wafuasi wao kufanya vurugu, wanapaswa kutumia njia za kisheria iwapo watakuwa na malalamishi kuhusu matokeo. Ol Kalou imevutia macho ya taifa kwa sababu uchaguzi huu unatazamwa kama kipimo cha nguvu za kisiasa kuelekea uchaguzi mkuu wa 2027. Hata hivyo, umuhimu wake haupaswi kuwa sababu ya kuvuruga amani au kukiuka sheria. Wakenya wanatarajia kuona uchaguzi unaoendeshwa kwa uwazi, usawa na uaminifu.
