Mandera MCAs lead protests to demand removal of county commissioner Alex Nkoyo

Several members of the Mandera County Assembly on Friday led peaceful demonstrations demanding the removal of Mandera County Commissioner Alex ole Nkoyo.
The ward representatives said Mr Nkoyo has been unable to tackle the issue of insecurity, which has left many people dead in the county since last year.
They said the county commissioner was responsible for the deteriorating security situation since he was posted to the county last year.
“We are joining our governor in condemning the deeds of Mr Alex ole Nkoyo as the chairman of the county security committee and we shall keep on demonstrating until he is removed from Mandera,” said Mandera Township MCA Feisal Abdinoor.
Mr Abdinoor accused the commissioner of misadvising Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery over the recent attacks in county, including one in which Governor Ali Roba’s convoy was attacked on March 13, leaving four people dead.
Another attack two days later in Mandera Town left one person dead and three others with gunshot wounds.
