Garissa Township Member of Parliament who is also the National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has urged warring communities in the northern Kenya to end their conflict and live peacefully.
Duale, who was speaking during a funds drive at Sericho Secondary school where he represented Deputy President William Ruto said the government was ready to support county commissioners from the region to curb the rising insecurity.
The MP further said an urgent meeting is needed to iron out issues resulting to the clashes, which have lasted for the past three weeks along the Isiolo-Garissa Counties.
“I will personally brief President Uhuru Kenyatta on the insecurity witnessed in the two neighbouring counties so as to seek an immediate solution,” he said.
At least seven people have died in less than three weeks at the Isiolo-Garissa border due to fights over pasture and water.
Duale was accompanied by MPs Abdullahi Banticha (Isiolo South), Ali Rasso Dido (Saku), Ali Wario (Tana River), Ms Tiyah Galgallo (Isiolo Woman Representative) and nominated Senator Fatuma Dhullo.
Isiolo Governor Godana Doyo and County Commissioner George Natembeya, who were also present, agreed to work together to resolve the current insecurity in the region.
