This is after a section of members of the Samwathal assured her of their support as the election date inches closer.
Subow, who was asked to contest for the seat under negotiated democracy following the Tolomoge agreement between Samawathal and Abduwak clans, has affirmed that she is the right person to change the lives of the residents if she is given the change to take over the leadership of the region after the upcoming polls.
The aspirant, who spoke at a Garissa hotel, said that she will prioritize health and education if she ascends to power when that time comes.
“It’s unfortunate that many children are dropping out of school due to (lack of) school fees. If elected as your women representative I will use affirmative action besides lobbying for funds for children in school,” she said.
The aspirant also exuded confidence that she will beat her rivals hands down. She further rubbished claims that she was being imposed on the people of Garissa after her opponents started attacking her.
