(eTN) – Njengoba kunombukiso wezokuvakasha obaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni, i-ITB e-Berlin, sekusele amasonto ambalwa, uphiko lwezokuvakasha eKenya lulungiselela ukutshela umhlaba ukuthi konke akulahleki njengoba kuyiwa eMpumalanga Afrika. I-Kenya Tourist Board kanye nemboni ezimele manje sebelungiselela ukuhlasela kwemakethe okuhloswe ngayo ukubuyisela izivakashi emabhishi naseziqiwini zezwe. Asikho isivakashi esike salimala phakathi nenkathi kusukela okhethweni lwasekupheleni kukaDisemba 2007 futhi izinhlangano zemikhakha zisebenza ubusuku nemini nezinhlaka zokuphepha ukuze zihambisane nesimo futhi zigcine amalungu azo enolwazi olugcwele.
Nakuba isimo samanje sifiphele, kunethemba lokuthi kuzoba nokuxazululeka kwezombusazwe osekuseduze ngenxa yemizamo yowayenguNobhala Jikelele we-UN u-Kofi Annan, osekuphele amasonto amabili ebambe iqhaza emizamweni yokuletha izinhlangothi eziphikisanayo. ndawonye futhi, ikakhulukazi, amaqembu aphikisayo alahle izimfuno zawo ezingenangqondo ukuze kuzuze isizwe saseKenya.
Uma sekufinyelelwe esivumelwaneni, imboni yezokuvakasha iphoqelekile ukuthi ibambe iqhaza emkhankasweni wokumaketha umhlaba wonke futhi ukuze kuvuselelwe intshisekelo ezweni futhi kuqalwe ukusimama kwezinguquko ezikhona manje. Isifunda esikhulu naso sineqhaza okufanele silibambe kulesi simo, njengoba wonke amanye amazwe aseMpumalanga Afrika elahlekelwe amabhizinisi futhi bazokwaziswa kahle ukuthi bahlanganyele neKenya ukuze kuthuthukiswe lesi sifunda ngendlela enolaka, kuhehe abavakashi baphesheya kwezilwandle ukuthi bathumele uhambo lomndeni isifunda futhi sikholise izinkampani zezindiza eziqashayo ukuthi zengeze umthamo emuva emizileni eya eNairobi naseMombasa ukuze zibhekane nokukhula okulindelekile kwesidingo.
Iziphathimandla zikahulumeni waseKenya kanye nezinye zaseMpumalanga Afrika kumele zisebenzise leli thuba ukwethula i-visa eyodwa yabavakashi esifundeni sonke ukuze kwehlise izindleko zokuvakasha kuphela kodwa futhi nokukhuthaza ukuvakasha kwesifunda, okungasiza iKenya endleleni eya ekululameni. Ukuvakasha kwabakwamanye amazwe ababhaliswe ngokusemthethweni esifundeni sase-East African Community nakho kufanele kwenziwe lula futhi izidingo ze-Visa, lapho uvakashela izwe elingumakhelwane, nazo kufanele zehliswe uma le makethe ebalulekile izotholakala ngokugcwele. Okunye ukungenelela kufanele kubandakanye ukuncishiswa kwesikhashana noma okuhlala njalo kwentela yesikhumulo sezindiza kubagibeli, ukuzulazula - izimali zokufika nezokupaka ezindizeni eziletha izivakashi esifundeni kanye nohlu lwezinzuzo zentela ezididiyelwe ngokwesifunda ukuze umkhakha uvumele ukutshalwa kwezimali okuhloswe ngawo ukwengeza inani nekhwalithi imboni yezokuvakasha. Okokugcina, amabhodi ezivakashi emazweni asempumalanga ye-Afrika kumele anikezwe isabelomali esikhulu ngokwanele ukuze aqhube umkhankaso oqhubekayo ezimakethe ezikhona nezisafufusa, uma ukusimama kuzoshesha futhi kuqhubeke. I-Uganda, i-Rwanda kanye ne-Tanzania wonke kulindeleke ukuthi ahambele i-ITB futhi anikeze ukusekelwa ngokuziphatha kozakwabo baseKenya.
Khonamanjalo, kuvele izindaba zokuthi iKenya manje iziphindiselela ekuvinjweni kokuhamba okushaye okungenani osopolitiki abayi-10 nabaholi bamabhizinisi ngokwenqabela owayenguKhomishana Omkhulu wase-UK eKenya, uSir Edward Clay, ukuthi abuyele endaweni yakhe yakudala. USir Edward, ngesikhathi esehhovisi eNairobi owayegxeka inkohlakalo phakathi kwezikhulu zezombusazwe zaseKenya kanye namalungu abalulekile kahulumeni, uphinde wahlangana neqembu laseKenya muva nje ohlelweni lweBBC's Hard Talk mayelana nodlame oluqhubekayo ezweni. kulandela ukhetho okuthiwa lukokotelwe. Ekuphawuleni kwakhe okokuqala lowo owayengusomaqhinga kubikwa ukuthi uthe isimo sakhe asinikezwa uhulumeni waseKenya “siyisixwayiso esithusayo kwabanye abakhankasela inkohlakalo yaseKenya.” USir Edward uphinde wacela ukuthi kube nokudidiyelwa kwamazwe aseNtshonalanga afana ne-US, Canada, Britain kanye nezwekazi lase-EU ekuphenduleni kwabo eKenya.
Ukuvinjelwa kuka-Sir Edward kulukhuni kakhulu kuye ngokomuntu siqu, njengoba kubikwa ukuthi wathola isiqeshana somhlaba futhi wayehlele ukuthatha umhlalaphansi eKenya, okuyinto ukuphikisana kwakamuva kubonakala kungenakwenzeka okwamanje.
Imithombo engaphakathi komphakathi waseNairobi iphinde yakhuluma nangabanye abantu baseKenya okusolakala ukuthi bayabandakanyeka odlameni kusukela ngasekupheleni kukaDisemba okhethweni okuhloswe ngalo ukuvinjelwa ukuhamba, okubandakanya namalungu emindeni yabathintekayo. Isenzo esinjalo singase futhi siholele ekumisweni kwezimpahla nama-akhawunti asebhange emazweni afanele, kwenze okuhlosiwe okungenzeka phakathi kwezikhulu zaseKenya kungakhululeki ngisho nokusho okuncane. Kodwa-ke, noma yiziphi izinyathelo ezisiza ukuqeda udlame kanye nokubuyisela ukuthula kubantu baseKenya zamukelekile futhi kunoma yikuphi, izigilamkhuba kufanele zilethwe ngokushesha ngaphandle kokubheka isizinda sabo sezepolitiki.
Ngaleso sikhathi, uhulumeni waseKenya waphoqeleka ukuthi wamukele izimfuno zamazwe ngamazwe mayelana nophenyo olugcwele nolungachemi mayelana nezimbangela zodlame lwangemva kokhetho, izigilamkhuba ngenxa yokubhekana namacala "amacala abhekiswe esintwini," esinye sezenzo ezimbi kakhulu ongazicabanga. Umkhulumeli kahulumeni waseKenya nokho waphendula ngokushesha i-ODM ephikisayo, ayisola “ngokuhlela, ukuxhasa ngezimali kanye nokubulala ubuhlanga ngemva kokhetho,” ngokudabukisayo njengoba kuzwakala.
