A voter in Mandera has opposed the nomination of Leila Abdi Ali as a member of the Teachers Service Commission. He further claims the candidate is not a resident of any of the Northeastern counties — Mandera, Garissa, Marsabit and Wajir. The nominee's identity card shows that she was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1979. In her response, Leila said she is born of a Kenyan mother who delivered while on a trip to Somalia. She says she was raised in Loitoktok and went to DEB Primary School, Loitoktok.
