Inqwaba yezinhlangano ezizimele zokongiwa kwemvelo eKenya, zonke ezihlonishwa kakhulu futhi ezinohlu olude lwezinto ezifeziwe emikhakheni yazo, zithathele phezulu izinkulumo ezishiwo nguNobhala Omkhulu woMnyango Wezemvelo, Amanzi Nezemvelo, ngemuva kukaDkt. Richard Lesiyampe ake kubhekwe izinsolo zokuthi ama-NGO ayeqamba amanga ngamabomu futhi edlula izinombolo zokuzingela ngokungemthetho eKenya ngenhloso eyodwa yokuthola uxhaso lokuzwelana nabaphesheya.

Uveze lezi zinsolo ngaphandle kokuthi, nokho, aveze noma yibuphi ubufakazi ngesikhathi evela phambi kwekomiti lephalamende ukuze aphendule imibuzo ebimsesha ngaphambi kokuthi avele aphelelwe umoya futhi egadla ezigebengwini ezingakwazi ukuzivikela ngaleso sikhathi.

Sekunesikhathi eside kunombango wezinombolo zokuzingela ngokungemthetho, okuze kwafaka umlondolozi oyedwa enkantolo ngesikhathi lowo owayenguMqondisi oMkhulu weKenya Wildlife Service (KWS) embopha wathweswa icala ngaphansi komthetho ongaqondakali okhumbuza umthetho wenkosi endala wokuthi ungaphonseli inselelo labo abaphethe noma ubhekane nemiphumela. Leso siqephu, nakuba sagcina sixazululiwe lapho icala lihoxiswa, sashiya ibala elingapheli ku-KWS futhi ikakhulukazi lowo owayeyi-CEO u-Kipng'etich manje osembonini yamabhange azimele futhi ngokungangabazeki angafisela yonke le nsambatheka. Kodwa-ke, ukubalwa kwezindlovu okwenziwa ohlelweni lwemvelo lwaseTaita/Taveta/Mkomanzi kwaveza ukuthi ziningi izindlovu ezalahleka lapho nje kunenani elamukelwa yi-KWS ngesikhathi esifanayo, okwenza kube nokungabaza okwengeziwe ngokwethembeka kwezinombolo. wendlovu ulahlekelwe yi-vis-a-vis lezo zinombolo ezivunyelwe kuzo.

Abalondolozi bemvelo abambalwa, ngaphansi kwemibandela yokudalulwa amagama abo ngenxa yokwesaba ukuzobhekana nabo ngqo nezinhlangano zabo, manje sebephonsele inselelo i-PS ukuthi ikhombise ubufakazi bokuthi izinhlangano ezizimele zithole izibalo zokuzingela ngokungemthetho ukuze zithole uxhaso lwakwamanye amazwe: “Ukusijikijela ngodoti, ebesibambisene nabo abathembekile. ye-KWS ezinhlelweni eziningi ebesizisekela, ayigcini nje ngokuntula imikhuba emihle kodwa ikhombisa ingqondo engasebenzi. Makabonise esidlangalaleni labo abakhuphule imali ngokusho kwakhe ngokuhamba ngezinyawo nangezinhlanga futhi abangazange basekele i-KWS noma bafake izinsiza abaziqoqile kuphrojekthi ethile. Ukuthi sidumele noma sitshele umphakathi ukuthi asinankinga enkulu ezandleni zethu kuwukubukela phansi ubuhlakani bethu. Mangingawuvali umlomo, ukuthi inkonzo imapeketwane, i-KWS imapeketwane njengoba impendulo yakamuva yombiko ohlanganiswe ngababonisi ikhombisa ngokusobala, nokuphonsa udaka nokukhombana ngeminwe ngeke kususe lokho. Kuphakathi kokuthi uyakha futhi usebenza nezinhlangano ezizimele noma mhlawumbe ufuna umsebenzi ozuzisayo kwenye indawo uma engakwazi ukunamathela eqinisweni. Ngilindele ukuxolisa kulowo mlisa, ngoba akavikelwe wukungavikeleki kwephalamende ukuthi asho okufika nje emqondweni wakhe abaleke nakho. Ngazo zonke izinhloso, nakuba kungashiwongo ngokuqondile, phakathi kwemigqa usola amanye ama-NGO ngokukhwabanisa. Makalethe ubufakazi noma ahoxe esidlangalaleni futhi axolise,” kubhala umlondolozi wemvelo waseNairobi owayecasuke ngokusobala.

Omunye wathatha ngaphandle kokuthi umsolwa oboshiwe wadingiswa esikhundleni sokuba abekwe icala enkantolo yaseKenya, ukuze ayoziphendulela ngamacala akhe futhi avalelwe. “Ukubhekana nokuzingela kuyinselelo enezingqimba eziningi. Akukhona nje ukubamba lawomasosha ahamba ngezinyawo ensimini nezibhamu nezihibe namazinyo endlovu. Kuphinde kube yilabo abawuququdayo, bawugcine, bawufihle, futhi bawuthuthe ngaphambi kokuyelapha ukuze babalekele izinja ezihogelayo uma zigcwele ezitsheni. Yilabo abahlinzeka ngezokuthutha, labo abahlinzeka ngemali. Kufana nebhizinisi elikhulu njengoba kwakunjalo ngonyaka odlule. Ngakho ukulwa nokuzingelwa ngokungemthetho kudinga izinhlaka eziningi ukuthi zibambisane, futhi nathi basebenzi be-NGO singasiza ngokuhlinzeka ngezobunhloli kulo mkhakha. Sidinga umuntu ofana noLeakey ongakuhloniphi ukuthi ungubani futhi uhlobene nobani kodwa okuvalelayo uma etholakala enesandla ekuzingeleni nasekuhwebeni,” kusho omunye umthombo ophinde wafuna lingadalulwa, wengeza ngokuthi, “Uma u-PS angabeka amacala anjalo ephalamende, ungacabanga ukuthi ubengenzani uma enamagama ethu. Abalingiswa abanjalo bangenza impilo ibe isihogo esiphilayo, futhi njenge-NGO, umuntu angase alahlekelwe ngisho nokugunyazwa ngokukhuluma ngokukhululekile. Okungenani siyazi ukuthi uzoshicilela lokhu ngendlela efanele.”

Kuyadabukisa ngempela lapho labo okufanele bahlangane ukuze balwe nesitha esivamile baba izisulu zokuzazisa kanye namanga kuyilapho bezama ukucasha ukwehluleka kwabo belimaza abanye, bebeka engcupheni imifelandawonye yezokongiwa kwemvelo ehlala isikhathi eside kule nqubo.
