A Kenyan lawmaker is seeking explanation from the national government about the presence of a fugitive Somalia's Jubbaland minister in Mandera County, saying he is a security threat to residents.

Mandera East Member of Parliament Omar Maalim, in a private notice number 02/2020 presented on Wednesday at the National Assembly, sought a clarification from the Ministry of Defence why the Somali state minister Abdirashid Hassan Abdinur alias Abdirashid Janan was in his constituency.
