While there has been tension at the border, the influx of immigrants has continued to be a menace, with administrators lacking lasting solutions.
Strategies for Northern Development CEO Tache Elema said there hasn’t been a notable influx of immigrants that can be attributed to the political unrest in Ethiopia.
Kenyan authorities have beefed up security at the border with Ethiopia amid fears of escalating tensions in that government’s fight against the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF).
They said, however, that the conflict has not had any serious security or economic impact on Kenya.
