Korane says that the county needs unity to achieve its development goals.
Addressing supporters in Garissa Town on Monday, the Jubilee governor claimed that the current county government has failed to bring the communities and clans together.
He claimed that their is suspicion among clans and communities, a move he said is a threat to the county’s security and development.
“It is unfortunate the incumbent government has refused to unite and encourage cohesion among the many communities and clans in the county,” he said.
The Jubilee governor claimed that current county leaders are only concerned with their personal interests at the expense of promoting unity and peaceful co-existence among residents.
The Jubilee governor aspirant claimed that there is discomfort among some communities and clans over political interests.
Korane said that his government if elected will foster unity and provide equal development opportunities for every community and clan in the county.
Korane added that his government will be inclusive and will champion interests of locals without favourism.
The Jubilee governor hopeful also pledged to work with the national government on security. He noted that insecurity remains a serious challenge that has hindered development.
The Jubilee aspirant says that he has the numbers to send Jama packing.
Governor Jama is seeking re-election on Wiper ticket and has dismissed Korane’s bid, saying that the former Permanent Secretary (PS) does not have development agenda for residents.
Senator Yusuf Haji’s brother Bashir Haji is also in the gubernatorial race vying Amani national Congress party (ANC).
