May 22, 2026 - A chiefs’ coronation ceremony was held in the Kutulo area of Mandera South Sub-County, where new leadership for Bula Medina Location was officially installed during a public event attended by local administrators, community leaders and residents.
During the ceremony, the new chief of Bula Medina and his assistant were formally recognized and mandated to oversee administration duties in the area.
The event was presided over by Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) Charles Mbole, who urged the newly appointed administrators to execute their duties diligently and serve the community fairly and without bias.
The DCC emphasized the importance of accurate information sharing, warning chiefs against the spread of misinformation within their jurisdictions.
“It is your responsibility as chiefs to ensure that any misinformation circulating within your locations is identified and reported promptly,” the DCC said.
He further noted that ongoing infrastructure development, particularly road construction projects along the corridor, must be protected from disruption. He warned that there are individuals attempting to spread false information aimed at distracting peace and development efforts in the area.
