   OPEN LETTER TO OUR ELECTED MANDERA COUNTY COUNCILORS (ASSEMBLIES)   

 Open Letter to our elected Mandera County officials 

 On behalf of the Gharri people in Diaspora, I ask you to reject the two Siggirso nominees for Mandera County executive positions.

Appointing the Siggirsos has embarrassed us, demoralized our base, strengthened our opposition, and undermined the wishes of our people. Appointing the Siggirsos shows weakness in our leaders.

As shown by the events of the past few weeks, giving the Siggirsos 2 executive positions did nothing to soften their hatreds against our people. On the contrary, all it has done is encouraging them to keep attacking our citizens in Rhamo and Banissa districts. Therefore I call upon you, esteemed Gharri Councilors, to reject those two Siggirsos. They do not deserve such a noble position in our county.

As you all know, there are thousands of Gharri citizens living in Wajir and Garissa Counties, but none were given any positions. The Kenyan constitution that protects against discrimination should apply to both counties residents right? If they are not giving Gharri people any executive positions in their counties, why should we give them any in our county? Especially since our good will is essentially being taken advantage of and spat upon.  

Reject those 2 Siggirsos.

Thank You.
