Honored to join Governor Ahmed Abdullahi, Mheshimiwa Adan Daud, Mheshimiwa Fatuma Jehow & other leaders at the 3rd anniversary of #DontHideMe campaign in Wajir. This vital initiative raises awareness & provides support for children with developmental disabilities.
Amazing impact: 700+ children & families received assessments, therapy, SHA & NCPWD registration, birth certificates, and food packages. After hosting this campaign in Garissa, I’ve seen firsthand how it transforms lives & ensures no child is hidden.
Huge gratitude to the #DontHideMe team, volunteers & Wajir leaders for their dedication & pledges. Together, we’re supporting these children’s dreams & creating lasting change. Every child deserves to be seen, supported & celebrated
Hosted CS Health Hon. Duale in Garissa Township for the launch of Taifa Care (Social Insurance Fund) registration drive. Taifa Care is a game-changer providing affordable, dignified healthcare access, especially for society’s most vulnerable.

A legend visionary has left us today. Sh Mud’irasul, founder of the Young Muslim Association was a philanthropist who dedicated his life to uplifting underprivileged and orphaned children in the larger Northern Kenya region.
He established the Young Muslim Association in 1969, an institution that grew into a transformative centre for our communities. His legacy lives on through countless individuals who, under his guidance, shattered the limits of what they believed possible.
Thank you, @WilliamsRuto, for abolishing the oppressive vetting process in ID issuance for Northern & border counties and for opening the Immigration Office in Garissa. Your NEP tour has not only built vital infrastructure but restored dignity to our people.
Challenge accepted. 2027 it is and the battle will be in Mandera not Garissa. We shall deploy the necessary strategy, troops, weaponry and logistics to ensure complete obliteration and burial of UDM.
In the Garissa Township by-election held on January 5, 2023, Dekow Barrow Mohamed of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) emerged victorious, securing 11,572 votes. His closest competitor, Nassir Dolal Mohamed of the United Democratic Movement (UDM), garnered 8,158 votes. The by-election witnessed UDMs market share rise from zero to 46% of the vote cast of Garissa township votes. You can only imagine what will happen in 2027 to the current incumbent. I leave it to your imagination insha’Allah.
We officially launched the inaugural Garissa High School Alumni association in Weston Hotel yesterday.
GHS is an iconic institution that has delivered great leaders at local and national levels throughout its history.
The event was graced by Hon. Aden Duale, the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, an alumnus himself, as our Chief Guest. His journey of excellence is a testament to the values and discipline instilled by this remarkable institution.

Children with disabilities are to be viewed for their unique abilities and potential than on their disabilities.
We must all make our best efforts towards helping these vulnerable communities reach their full potential and change our attitude towards disabilities.
