Senators have called on the Ministry of Interior and National Administration to provide regular and detailed reports on the efforts being made to rescue the abducted chiefs and restore security in Mandera County.

Nominated Senator Mariam Omar told the Senate that the abduction of four chiefs, one assistant chief, and the daughter of one of the chiefs in Wargadud Town on February 3, this year, with the victims still missing after 44 days, is a grave concern for the local residents.
