Governor of Mandera County
The work continues
Four years of work you can check for yourself, and a plan for the next five.
Each figure links to its entry and published source on the record page.
Draft for consultation
These priorities are a draft. Read them, then tell the campaign what matters most where you live.
01
Elimu Kwa Wote has reached tens of thousands of secondary school students. The next term is about quality: enough classrooms, enough teachers, and a route from school into a trade or a profession.
02
Water is still the first thing residents ask for. Move from emergency trucking to permanent supply: boreholes that work, pipelines that reach homes, and storage that lasts through the dry season.
03
A renal unit has opened in Elwak and the county reports theatres working in Banisa and Lafey. Next, a staffed and stocked facility within reach of every settlement, and community health workers who are equipped and paid on time.
04
Mandera's wealth walks on four legs. Protect the herd, add value at home, and open cross-border trade so that herders, farmers and traders earn more from what they already produce.
05
Drought and floods will come again. Prepare before they do: early warning that reaches every household, cash and feed that arrive on time, and a county that plans for the bad season in the good one.
06
A county government that is near, digital and fair: sub-county offices that work, opportunity for young people and women, and peace between neighbours.
