Duale urged locals to cooperate with security forces to prevent government projects aimed at enhancing economic opportunities in the region from being sabotaged by Al-Shabaab militants.
He further assured residents that plans to address the shortage of electricity supply in Mandera and Wajir towns would be expedited. Duale mentioned potential solutions such as direct electricity supply from Ethiopia due to proximity or the installation of green mini-grids or solar projects to alleviate the crisis.
