Let's seek solution to insecurity in region

With teachers, quarry workers and others evading North Eastern region over insecurity, something ought to be done to curb the trend.

Everybody might soon shun the region due to security threats, a decision that will badly affect the residents’ livelihood for generations to come.

Some teachers have sworn never to return to Mandera schools and investors from other regions are leaving.

On Tuesday, Mandera East Sub-County Commissioner Elvis Korir banned quarrying activities in the region over insecurity. He might have been acting on intelligence reports but the move might affect the region’s economy.

Let us seek a long-term solution to the security lapses in the North and Kenya at large.
