Mandera South MP Hon. Abdul Haro Kore is earning recognition for a practical style of leadership that focuses on addressing everyday challenges facing residents while investing in opportunities for the constituency’s young people.
His latest intervention at Elwak Technical and Vocational Training College is a clear example of this approach.
Kore has successfully advocated for a new bus for the college through the Ministry of Education, State Department for TVET, providing students with reliable transport for academic, sporting and other co-curricular activities.
The commissioning of the bus is particularly significant for students who previously had to trek between Elwak town and the college, often under harsh weather conditions. Parents had also raised concerns about the security risks associated with students, especially female students, making the journey on foot.
For Kore, the intervention goes beyond providing a vehicle. It is about creating a safer and more supportive learning environment for young people pursuing technical and vocational education.
The MP’s approach also places emphasis on sustainability. The bus will be available for hire by other schools within the constituency and by the local community during major events, with proceeds channelled towards its maintenance.
This model ensures that the investment continues serving the wider community while reducing the burden of maintaining the facility.
And the work does not stop there.
Kore has announced that the constituency is set to receive another school bus, with procurement for a bus for Elwak DEB Comprehensive School already underway.
The two interventions point to a leader paying attention to the practical needs of students, parents and institutions while using his office to mobilise support from national government agencies.
For residents of Mandera South, such initiatives demonstrate the value of leadership that listens to community concerns and turns them into tangible interventions.
From improving access to education to enhancing student safety and supporting co-curricular activities, Abdul Haro Kore is increasingly associated with a development agenda that puts the welfare and future of young people at the centre.
His message is simple: leadership should be measured not only by promises made, but by the opportunities, services and infrastructure delivered to the people.
In Mandera South, that philosophy is increasingly taking shape through practical projects that touch the lives of ordinary residents
