    "content": "Early colonial legislation turned the Northern Frontier District (NFD) into a closed area allowing only for minimal contact with the rest of this Republic. At that time, northern Kenya only served as a buffer against expansionist Ethiopian empires. Beyond that, it was seen to be of no value. In terms of governance, the NFD at that time was characterized by restriction on movement, collective punishment, use of extensive and non-accountable executive powers and any view at the time symbolized the principal and practice of differential treatment of its citizens by the Kenyan State. Generally, the colonialists treated northern Kenya as a closed State from the rest of the Republic and by extension from the rest of the world."
