The recent endorsement of Former Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim by Raila Odinga to vie for the seat of Garissa Township has not been taken as a progressive idea by majority of the electorate in the Constituency. This has been seen as a way of curtailing development and introducing the idea of imposing politicians against the will of the people.
This decision will go down as one of the most disastrous decision in the history of politics in Kenya considering the Majority leader’s brilliant policies of development. Garissa and the expansive Northern Kenya has since independence lagged behind and complained about marginalization. This being the first time Garissa has had a place in the national government, we have seen tremendous development in all sectors; from infrastructure, health, education and much more. It is only in the last 3 years that we have seen construction of roads and other vital social amenities that has helped the residents access vital services all this in the name of Hon. Aden Duale.
