Kenya: Garissa activists reject Maisha Namba, want rollout halted

By Stephen Astariko

Garissa activists and residents have urged the government to cancel the launch of Maisha Namba, saying it will isolate the region.

Led by Anab Abdullahi, the residents said Garissa is not ready for Maisha Namba owing to its poor infrastructure and network.

She said the residents’ nomadic culture will also make it difficult for them to use the Maisha Namba.

Anab spoke during a two day rights sensitisation workshop organised by Haki na Sheria NGO.
