Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has demanded compensation for victims of criminal and terror activities in Kenya's North Eastern regions, including those who died in Wagalla and Malka Mari, specifically during the previous administration. Duale emphasized the need for equity and denounced political leaders who project some regions as superior.

• Duale made his remarks in Balambala, Garissa County, on Saturday, August 16.
• He accused previous administrations of neglecting the North Eastern regions.
• Former President’s Senior Economic Advisor Moses Kuria warned Duale against negatively profiling the Mount Kenya region, claiming it could lead to divisive politics.
• Kuria stated he would defend the region against such criticism, asserting that recurrent attacks could lead to "unintended consequences."
