Uhuru’s visit to North Eastern could be too little too late

President Uhuru Kenyatta has finally visited North Eastern counties of Mandera, Wajir and Garissa, more than three years after he came to power.

Residents of the region have been critical of his failure to tour the area, with leaders like myself expressing it umpteen times that his avoidance of the area would create resentment within the predominant Somali community. Still, I have never understood why he gave the region a cold shoulder, visiting just months before the next General Election.
