Leaders have been urged to focus on uniting the residents as opposed to making inflammatory remarks that could affect the residents ahead of the General Elections.
Garissa Governor Nathif Jama asked those aspiring for elective positions in the country to avoid creating enmity among local residents during this electioneering period.
The governor also urged the youth to shun politicians who want to use them for their selfish interest during this campaign period.
“We should advocate peace and unity and vigorously oppose notions that some sections of the population are corner tribes. This is outright discrimination,” he said.
Speaking in Garissa, governor Jama told the residents of what his administration has achieved in terms of development for the past four years saying they should vote for him based on his track record.
Mr Jama said his administration has invested heavily in healthcare by building new hospitals, especially in the remotest areas.
He further said that they have rehabilitated many roads and upgraded them to all-weather status adding that his administration has also built and equipped 130 ECDE centres to improve learning in the county.
“We have employed more than 700 health specialists to ensure smooth and uninterrupted services in all healthcare facilities. Our holistic approach to development has enabled us to deal with many other critical issues,” said Mr Jama.
