Marsabit, Kenya – October 23, 2025: Governor Mohamud Ali has called on residents to maintain peace and harmonious coexistence, emphasizing that inter-clan conflicts, which have in the past claimed hundreds of lives and displaced many families, must never recur. Speaking in Marsabit town, Ali praised religious leaders, elders, community members, and security agencies for their proactive role in preventing violence, noting that the county has remained peaceful for the past four years. Peace remains the foundation upon which development, prosperity, and unity are built, he said.
The governor used the occasion of Mashujaa Day celebrations to unveil a four-point energy agenda aimed at transforming Marsabit through clean and reliable power. The plan focuses on electrifying essential services including schools, health facilities, boreholes, and local enterprises, while promoting climate-smart agriculture and digital infrastructure. Ali highlighted the importance of tangible benefits, such as income-generating opportunities, reduced post-harvest losses, and uninterrupted 24-hour services for remote communities.
In a direct appeal to the youth, Governor Ali encouraged Gen Z residents to channel their energy into innovation, enterprise, and civic participation rather than political manipulation. He also invited private sector investors and development partners to contribute to Marsabit’s growth, assuring full county support for projects that respect diversity, create jobs, and protect the environment. Bring your capital and your ideas. We’ll provide the facilitation needed to build bankable projects that hire local youth and grow shared prosperity, he pledged.
