MOMBASA: Cord leaders Monday criticised the government's plan to construct a perimeter wall along the border with Somalia saying the strategy cannot deter terror attacks in the country.

The leaders claimed that some of the "helter skelter security strategies" the Jubilee administration had resorted to since the April 2 terror attack in Garissa University College were too costly and have been tried in other countries but failed to achieve its goals.
