Local News – 17.01.2012 - By Okoth Peter - Collaborate with all government agencies; Turkana community advised
Turkana community has been advised to collaborate with Government institutions so as to utilize fully the resources that are found in the County.
This was said yesterday by the leader of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioner Lillian Mahiri Zaja when she was responding to some of the issues that had been raised by Turkana community during the collection of views. The meeting, which was well attended was held at Anne Nanjala Centre, Lodwar.
Some of the issues that had been raised by the community were the mismatching of some wards that had been merged, creation of additional constituencies and wards, insecurity and resources that are found in Turkana.
Some of the leaders had said that soon or later, oil, gas and geothermal would be produced in Turkana, and therefore the district required protection.
Commissioner Zaja said that there was need for community to work hand in hand with all Government institutions so, especially Provincial Administration and Internal Security, so as to effectively address the problem of insecurity that was rampant in the region.
She pointed out that all resources that are found in the region could be exploited fully if the community worked hand in hand with other stake holders regardless of where they come from.
She further said that even if the commission fails to address the issue of additional constituencies and wards this time as the issue would be revisited during other reviews which will be held from time to time.
