Former Defence Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa and other prominent figures are questioning the "deafening silence" of Defence Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya regarding the reported presence of Jubaland forces in Mandera, citing concerns over Kenya's sovereignty and the safety of residents.

• The alleged operations have led to school children being displaced and residents living in fear, with calls for the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to expel the foreign troops.

• Key figures demanding action include former Defence CS Eugene Wamalwa, Mandera Governor Adan Khalif, and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

• In addition to the Mandera crisis, Wamalwa also demanded the withdrawal of Kenyan military personnel from the peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
