Speaking in his office after overseeing the swearing in ceremony of the county public service board chair Ebla Salah, secretary to the board Mohamed Sheikh and the county secretary Abdi Muhumed, Korane said that since the election petition challenging his win is over, he will now concentrate in delivering his election manifesto.

Korane said that with the county fully constituted, the officials can now hit the ground running and offer services to the residents. 

"We shall give you enough space to operate in. I will not allow interference from any quarter to interfere with your work. Remember that you will be held personally responsible for any failures in your docket, you will have no excuse to blame any one for your failures,”Korane stated.

Meanwhile, Korane said the county will embark on working with the National government aid agencies, and other stake holders in alleviating the suffering victims of drought are undergoing.

On the emerging controversial land issue in the outskirts of Garissa town, Korane urged the residents to work with the relevant department in bringing sanity in demarcation and allocation of land.

 “As a county we mean good for the residents. No one will lose his or her land. There is plenty of land for the residents and I don’t see why we should fight and kill each other over the same,” said Korane.
