Tana River Governor Dhadho Godhana has asked all Somali refugees in Kenya to return home.
Godhana said Somali is now peaceful and refugees should go and build their country.
Speaking on Friday in Hola during the handing over of cheques for students’ bursaries, the governor said the continuous stay of refugees in the country was a major security threat.
He condemned Tuesday’s Dusit terror attack that left 21 people dead.
Godhana said Tana River has also been affected by the presence of refugees, who are a security risk.
He said Somalia had a governance system like Kenya and citizens are free to vie for elective positions.
“The refugees cannot benefit from any elective positions in Kenya if they remain in the country, they should go and vie for the presidency, governor and other elective posts,’’ he said.
Godhana said the African Mission in Somalia (Amisom) has helped to restore peace in the country. He told Somalis not to fear returning home.
He dismissed claims that his statements on refugees were targeting certain people. Godhana said his remarks have been misinterpreted.
The governor said his aim is to assist refugees to return home.
Al Shabaab terror group claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attack.
Godhana sent a message of condolences to the families of the 21 people killed in the terror attack.
He also wished a quick recovery to those injured in the attack.

Muslims have been in Kenya and East African coast since 9th or 10th century! Meaning; they were here before Christianity arrived! They intermarried with the East African Coastal tribes which gave birth to THE SWAHILI LANGUAGE!!!
Stop the manufactured hatred spread by the greedy looters of African resources who are now creating chaotic looting wars which turn Africans against each other while looting is going on !

we are Kenyans and proud to be Kenyan,Godana should first go back to Congo forest where he originally migrated from mayonda hii

let the foolish man read this.
Recall the Muslim/Somali hero taxi driver in Garissa this morning who courageously drove two terrorist passengers into an AP camp, where they were; frisked, disarmed and arrested. They were found with dangerous weapons of mass destruction including powder for making bombs and lethal firearms that can kill and maim. Terrorism like I told you yesterday, is 100% a toxic political agenda pursued by clever crooks riding on the back of societal shallow knowledge on religion to wreck havoc & sow division. If it wasnt for the gut instincts, patriotism and fear of God in this driver… He would have accepted a fat pay from these bloodlusting hoodlums or cooperated to save his skin and the result would be too scary to imagine. He stood for his country! He put it’s interest beyond any financial advantage or fear! His name is withheld for fear of reprisals from the terror gang and or its local collaborators. God bless such patriots whose simple acts bend the arcs of history.”–
