ICBNXCLUSIVE: REHEMA BLAMES NRT FOR REGIONAL INSECURITY!

Isiolo women rep Madam Rehema Jaldesa now wants the Northern Rangeland Trust(N.R.T) an organization that trades in Conservation business and which has a number of projects across Isiolo county to be investigated by the relevant authorities for what she says is fanning interethnic clashes along the Samburu-Isiolo county border specifically among the Borana and Samburu communities.

She says she is at loss as to why the organization is allowed to have trained militias inside a private sanctuary and under the command of a private individual saying this may be the factor that has lead to numerous deaths of her compatriots in the region- Murders which are almost always blamed on rival militias from the samburu side. This is because cattle rustling is as old as time itself in this region.

Rehema was speaking at the scene where a person was brutally murdered while tending to his own livestock.
She was in the company of Governor Kuti and other leaders when she uttered these words.

It must be remembered that Rehema has been accused of working with the organization in the past but her recent remarks now clears the air about where her heart is and it seems it is with the people since NRT issues have become a thorn in the flesh for some local politicians, some with a supposed human rights track record have shied away from speaking out for the people, a quest that seems to have now been taken on by Madam Rehema and Governor Kuti.

This will definitely put Madam Rehema in the good books of Isiolo county residents if she has plans to remain in politics in the coming years!

Until next time...
