Minority Leader in the National Assembly, Junet Mohamed, has dismissed claims that President William Ruto's recent decision to abolish mandatory vetting for identification card applicants in the North Eastern region is a vote-getting strategy.
Junet was prompted to comment on Thursday evening following a news item by Nation Media Group (NMG) suggesting that the Head of State's decision could be one of his strategies to attract more votes ahead of the next general elections.
The media house, referencing comments made by experts on the abolition of mandatory vetting, noted that Ruto's declaration could do the country more harm than good.
In particular, NMG highlighted Security Expert George Musamali's comments, which alleged that the abolition of mandatory vetting posed a serious security threat to the country.
