Mr. Koijee argued that the Inspector General’s presence was unnecessary, stating that such matters fall under the responsibilities of immigration authorities and the military. “Gregory Coleman’s border tour today was nothing but expensive showmanship at a time when our people are traumatized and living in fear,” CDC Secretary General said.

Nyumalin pledged that local councils at county and sub-county levels will be operationalized to manage development planning, budgeting, and service delivery. He maintained that the Board will hopefully ensure that local government financing is equitable, transparent, and aligned with national development priorities.
