North Eastern region
Members of Parliament from the North Eastern region have addressed the criticisms made by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Transnzoia Governor George Natembeya regarding President William Ruto's decision to eliminate the ID vetting process in their area.
The leaders emphasized the importance of unity and constructive dialogue, urging for a focus on the long-standing issues the North Eastern region faces, which has experienced marginalization for decades.
Ruto is a hero for Northeastern Kenya
Mohamed Adow: I know how indignified the vetting process has been that your government is assuming as you stand there filling your forms that first of all you are not a national of that country. Getting that out of the way boosted the morale of the people of northeastern Kenya and we thank the President for doing that. For us, President William Ruto is a hero.
Adan Kenyanan.
Adan Keynan: It is a fact that the Somalis are the second most populous community in Africa after the Oromos. The issue of IDs has a bit of colonial history.
I am not vouching for non-Kenyans to get IDs because that would be a security breach.
Adan Keynan
Adan Keynan: I want to go on record, what President Ruto has done for the people of Kenya, issues that have been avoided over the last 60 years.
We as the leadership are proud of the President’s actions, the President’s activities and all the things he has initiated over the last two years in Northern Kenya are more than what we have got over the last 60 years.

Kenyan Government Should Investigate Gachagua and Natembeya Over Their Demeaning Remarks Towards Northeastern Residents
By Hassan Xildoon and @Hassan Adan
In recent weeks, troubling statements from prominent political figures have cast a shadow over the already precarious situation faced by Somali communities in Northern Kenya.
The governor of Transzoia County, Mr. Natembeya, made rounds on social media by implying that Kenya could be led by Al-Shabaab, a remark that has ignited discord among communities in the region.
Such comments are not only disheartening but also raise critical questions about the status and rights of Somali Kenyans.
Are they to be seen as second-class citizens incapable of leadership, or does Mr. Natembeya overlook the fact that many Somali Kenyans voted for him in his county?
Adding to this climate of division, former Deputy President Gachagua, who was impeached, publicly claimed that senior government positions are disproportionately held by Somalis in Northern Kenya.
This assertion is particularly shocking given that Gachagua campaigned in the region during the 2022 elections, recognizing the rights and contributions of Somali Kenyans.
His recent comments suggest a sudden shift in perspective that undermines the capabilities and rights of these communities.
The remarks from both leaders come against a backdrop of long-standing marginalization and insecurity that Somali communities have faced in Northern Kenya.
Bound by historical injustices, political neglect, and economic underdevelopment, these communities have often found themselves alienated from the national narrative.
The arbitrary borders drawn during the colonial era fragmented Somali territories, and the aftermath of the Shifta War further marginalized the population, leaving them feeling disenfranchised.
Political neglect remains a significant issue, with the central government historically overlooking the needs of Northern Kenya.
This neglect manifests in ina
