The county government wants the Mandera South DCC to take responsibility, trace the 32 escapees and further deal with negligence by security officers at Elwak town. BLAME GAMEBut Mandera County Commissioner Onesmus Kyatha has denied that DCC Dubat is culpable for disappearance of the 32. “There is a multi-agency team dealing with coronavirus in Mandera and it is not true that DCC released people from quarantine. According to Mr Kyatha, shortage of quarantine facilities in Mandera could have helped the group disappear since officials in charge could not monitor everyone for 14 days. He also accused security officers of releasing people from quarantine facilities in Mandera.
